DEFENDS ON THE MAN.

Many men think they have failed
to get results because they are "in
the wrong town" As % rule however
the trouble rs with the man. not with

borrowed from the Iron Tradesman
Of Atlanta. ARE 10 the point
An Indiana man went broke as %
result Of endorsing for a friend. He
came south with hls family o wife
and seven children. and $500 In

banker commended his purpose. and
told him that he owned Eve acres on

which was mighty poor land, but II
he could use Il he could take Il for
5000, pay for 1t when he got ready,
and use his little capital to build a
house and buy horse and wagon
He looked NJ the land, saw its pos
sibIllties. and. though warned by his
neighbors that he couldn't grow

theater. Expected back about the
middle of July-they say in his Office"
"Then that let's him out"
"But it's a lie."
"Well-?"
"I've just remembered: Max was at
the Fiske place, urging her to return,
the night before you caught Drum
| mond ut the bungalow. i saw them,
walking up and down in front Of the
cottage, arguing earnestly: could
tell by her bearing she was refusing
whatever he proposed. But l didn't
know her then, and naturally I never
connected Max with the fellow I saw,
disguised in a motoring coat and cap.
Neither Of 'em had any place in my
thoughts that night"
Ember uttered thoughtful "Oh"
adding: 'There may be something in
what you say-suspect, that Is. If I
agree to keep an eye on him, will you
promise to give me free hand?"
"Meaning-Y
"Keep out of Max's way: don't risk
wrangle with him."
"Oh-go ahead-to blazes-as far
as you like"
'Thanks," Ember dryly wound up
the conference; "but these passing
fiirtations with your present-day tenn
per leave me with no laundering for
greater warmth"
Days ran stolidly on into weeks, and
these into month. Nothing happened.
Max did not return; the whispered ru-
NOR played wildfire in theatrical cir
cleS that the eccentric manager had
encountered financial difficulties lnsu-
perable. The billbOards fianking the
entrance to- the Theatre Max contin-
ued to display posters announcing the
reopening early in September with a
musical comedy by lyman Dodd; but
the comedy was not even in rehearsal
by September Is.
Ember went darkly about his vari-
GUS businesses, taciturn-even trace
more than ever reserved in his COM
munication with Whitaker-preoccu-
pied, but constant in his endeavor to
enhearten the Responding husband.
Mary Whitaker made no sign. Now
and then Whitaker would lose patience
and write to her. He received not
line of acknowledgment.
Sometimes, fretted to a frenzy, he
sought out Ember and made wild and
unreasonable demands upon him.
These failing of any effect other than
the resigned retort, 81 am detective,
not miracle-monger," he would fly
into desperate, gnawing, black RACES
that made Ember fear for his sanity
and self-control and caused him to be
haunted by that gentleman for hours
once or twice for days-until he re-
sumed his normal poise of sober and
civilized man. He was, however, not
often aware OF this sedulous espio-
mage.

"JIM" HILL GUESSED WRONG
RaiIroader Once Made the Prediction
That ST. Paul Would Never
Amount to Much.

There are few men who can chal-
lenge successfully the foresight of the
late James J. Hill, but Capt. Jerry
Turner of Lansing, Ia, who visited st.
Paul for the first time in fifty-two
years the other day. is one of them.
Captain Turner relates how he over
heard Mr.. Hill make the assertion that
st. Paul never would remain long as
the head of navigation on the Upper
Mississippi, and that was more than
a half century ago.
81 was then plying the Upper Mis-
sissippi on the steamer City Belle"
Captain Turner said. "Mr. Hill, who
at that time was clerking on the
wharf, was aboard the boat discussing
prospects with the captain.
"Wacouta is the logical head of navi-
CATION on the Mississippi" Mr.. Hill
said. "St. Paul cannot long retain the
distinction for this reason. Just as
soon as the farm lands on the Upper
Mississippi are well under cultivation,
the upper channel is bound to fill up,
and boats of any consequence Will be
unable to ply that far north"

Disappearance.

Seldom, perhaps, has a habitation
been so unceremoniousIy vacated as
was the solitary farmhouse on that
isolated island. Whitaker delayed
only long enough to place bill, Dor
rowed from Ember, on the kitchen
table. in payment for what provi-
sions they had consumed, and to ex-
tinguish the lamps and shut the door.
Ten minutes later he occupied a

EMBLEM OF GERMAN GENIUS
as index of the Character of
Country's Literature.

On leaving Cologne the stream winds
round among banks that do not yet
fulfill the promise of the Rhine; but
they increase in interest as you leave
Surdt and GodOrf. The peculiar char
acter of the river does not, however,
really appear, until by degrees the
Seven mountains, and "The Castled
Crag of Drachenfels" above them all,
break upon the eye. Around the
Nieder Cassel and Rheidt the vines lie
thick and clustering and, by the shore,
you see from place to place the islands
stretching their green length along,
and breaking the exulting tide.
Leaping into the broad bosom Of
the Rhine come many stream and
rivulet upon either side. Spire upon
spire rises and sinks as you sail on.
Mountain and city-the solitary island
the castled steep-like the dreams of
ambition, suddenly appear, proudly
swell, and dimly fade away.
"You begin now," said Trevelyan,'
''to understand the character of the
German literature. The Rhine is an
emblem of it's luxuriance, it's fertility,
it's romance. The best commentary to
the German genius is visit to the
German scenery. The mighty gloom
of the Harz, the feudal towers that
look over vines and deep valleys on
the legendary Rhine; the gigantic re-
mains of antique power, profusely
scattered over plain, mount and for
est; the thousand mixed recollectiOns
that hallow the ground; the stately,
Roman. the stalwart Goth, the chival-.
ry of the feudal age, and the dim
brotherhood of the ideal world, have
here alike their record and their re-
membrance. Lord Lytton.

up on his breakfast table contained

Jules Max has sprung another aid per-
haps his greatest surprise on the theater-

Whitaker glanced up incredulously
at the date line of the Sheet. Short
notice, indeed: the date was Thursday,
October IA. Max had planned his
game and had played his cards cum
ningly in Withholding this announce
ment until the last moment.
After pause Whitaker rose and be-
gan to walk the length of the room,
hands in his pockets, head bowed in
thought.
Search as he would, he could dis
cover no ranking Indignation, nothing
but some self-contempt, that he had
allowed himself to be so carried away
by infatuation for an ignoble woman,
and cynic humor that made il pos
sible for him to derive a certain Salts
faction from contemplating the COM
pleteness of this final revelation of
herself. Returning to the breakfast
table, he took up the paper, termed
to the shipping news, and ran his eve
down the list of scheduled sailings:
nothing for Friday; his pick of half
a dozen boats listed to sail Saturday.
The telephone enabled him to make
a hasty reservation on the biggest and
fastest of them all.
He had just concluded that business
and was waiting with his hand ON the
receiver to call up Ember and an
nounce his departure, when the door

to remove the breakfast things. he

stealing horses by the reservation
authorities, was arrested Wednesday
evening at the Farm school by In
dian Policeman Crowfeather, and
escaped while being taken to the

ing the horse his prisoner was rid
ing and when crossing One Mile
creek White Eyebrow leaped from
his horse to the bridge and jumped
over the railing into the creek bot
tom where he disappeared in the
darkness, the rushes along the bank
hiding the fleeing man from view.
Crowfeather came to the Agency
about 8 O'Clock and the police turn
ed out in body but the search so
far has been fruitless. Eyebrows
apprehension is only question Of
time as every avenue of escape from
the reservation is being guarded.

Epidemic of Cl.ndsrs

About 300 horses near Mandan
have glanders, according to word
received by the North Dakota De-
velopement League Press Bureau.
State health authorities have killed
twenty animals and, quarantined
some two hundred others. 1t is re-
ported that the plague has been rag
ing in that part of the state for q
long period of time without being
noticed and that three horses which
recently died on one farm, died
with the disease.
A farmer had bought several
horses at an auction sale, and with
in q short time three of them had
died and others were sick. He re-
ported the condition to authorities
and a close Investigation was made
at once. One man who died short
time ago was ailing from peculiar
disease which was thought by peo-
pie in the community to be blood
poisoning, but doctors have proved
that it was glanders, contracted
from horse. Every caution is be-
ing taken by the farmers in that
vicinity and it is reported that the
disease is now under control, but
authorities are still keeping a close
watch, and every farmer who has a
horse affected, is compelled to have
it killed or put under quarantine.
