Her simple faith In the immediate

Her eyes were too heavy to suggest
more than hint of the sleepy sur
prise that perplexed her as she looked
up at me, and she half stumbled. half
tottered, as l led her to her cabin.
Mugridge grinned insinuatingly In my
face as l showed him out and ordered
him back to his galley work; and he
won his revenge by spreading glow
ing reports among the hunters as to
what an excellent "lydy's hyde" was
proving myself to be.

Other Laws Tried and Found WANTING
The People Will Insist on Re-
turn to Efficient Leg

Thirty years ago we had the Nor.
rison horizontal tariff bill, which Mr..
Randall decapitated. That carried
protection. Four years later came
the Mills bill. which passed the
house. but failed In the senate. That
carried protection. Six years later
came the Gorman-wilson bill. which
became law. That carried protec-
ton. but in such hugger-mugger form
the law failed. Latest came the I'm.
derwood measure. much changed by
the senate, but not strengthened suf-
ficiently to either produce enough rev.
enue or hearten depressed business.
That carries protection.
Let us set against those measures
the Dingley law. the most successful
tariff enactment, all things consid.
cred, in the history OF the govern.
ment. That was drawn on frank pro-
lection lines for straight protection
purposes There were no DISCUSSES
of any kind about 1t. The object was
to raise revenue. encourage home
production. (hearten business gener-
ally and reward labor. It did all
those things so well. conditions Of
such prosperity were created within
a few years that the authors OF the
law recommended its revision, not
for the purpose of eliminating. but
equalizing. the protection it carried.
A new law was necessary for the new
conditions.

done, ! gave up like woman and
rolled upon the deck in the agony of
exhaustion.
In the meantime Thomas Mugridge,
Ike a drowned rat. was being dragged
out from under the forecastle head,
where he had cravenly ensconced
himself. saw him pulled aft to the
cabin and noted with shock of sur
prise that the galley had disappeared.
A clean space of deck showed where
It had stood.
In the cabin I found all hands as

coffee was being cooked over the small
stove We drank whisky and crunched

Wolf Larsen pursed his lips in a

Bonds Inevitable.

Congress has already passed one bill
for an increase of 10000 men to the
regular forces Of the army and is like
ly to pass other defense bills In the
near future. So far, however, with
the single exception Of the repeal OF
the free sugar clause of the tariff bill,
which will not aid. but merely prevent
further loss to the treasury. there
has not been single revenue meas
ure presented.
y There is talk OF repeating the so
called war" and stamp taxes. and all
this means that q heavier burden II to
be placed upon those who are now
paying the income tax. Even the
doubling OF this tar. however. will not
meet the deficit in the treasury and
still take care OF the national defense
program. Sooner or later the govern
ment will be compelled to meet the
issue sQuarely and arrange for . bond
issue.

DESERT CISTERN

Perhaps nothing could better Illus
trate the difficult nature of Persia as
regards military operations than the
knowledge of the extreme measures
that have to be adopted for the con-
servation of water over a large part
of the region in which the Turks,
Russians and even a considerable por-
ton of Persians are now in conflict
The Caspian watershed of Persia is
fairly well watered and wooded, but
all the region south of about the lati-
tude of Teheran-the central and
southern Zones-are almost absolute
desert, the largest cities being near
the base of the mountains, where the
rivers have not had time to be abb
sorbed in the burning sands. At other
points there are occasional wells and
springs, but the principal sources of
water in these desert regions are the
strange cisterns.
Stone conduits carry water from the
mountains to the cisterns on the des-
ert plains.-Popular Science Monthly

Berlin, Dee. 1--we are having

we haven't had cold enough to xiii

last Wednesday evening to the cane

With all the drawbacks last Sat
come, the Methodist conference and
the circus in Ocala, the teachers as
ISOLATION was a success. There were
fully twenty-five county teachers
present and we believe Prof. Brinson
was at his best. The program was the
best we believe the association has
ever had. The papers read and dis
cussed were broad and instructive and
were for the betterment of the
schools. We are sorry every school
patron in this county could not have
heard Prof. Cassels' paper on the au-
thority of a teacher over pupils GO
! ing to and from school. The ladies
did themselves well, though few in
number. They prepared sumptuous
dinner and we believe every one was
equal to the occasion when dinner was
announced Prof Shelton Phillips,
state rural school inspector, was pres
I ent and gave many helpful sugges-
tions in the forenoon, and in the aft
ernoon he made one of the best sound,
logical talks we ever heard him make.
He threw bouquets at the association;
said it was one among the best teach
ers' Institutes in the state and Marion
county was away ahead of great
many other counties, and Prof. Brin-
son deserved all the credit for it, for
he had been continuously hammering
at this for the past eight years. Any
school should feel honored to have
this institute meet with it.
Miss Ruby Spencer of Zuber was
the weekend guest of Miss Leon
Brooks.
One of our young ladies is sitting
on the mourner's bench. Her best fell
low came up from Oxford, distance

decided she had to have chaperone,
and the good lady of the house de-
cided to go, but couldn't go without
her hubby and little boy. So Sidney
soon saw he was up against prop
osition, but he was game and took the
whole family, and all report jolly
good time. There's many bud that
