ARC LIGHTS AGAIN
 FULL SERVICE.
Supply of Globes Has Been Received
 to Repair Breaks.

The fifteen arc lights that have been out of commission in various parts of the city are now in service again, as the globes which had been ordered on Dec. arrived on Tuesday from Dayton, O.
 The whole order for the globes was for 72, and all were received in this shipment, so that the city is protected for some time against a possible loss of lights through having no globes on hand to replace those that may be broken.
 Pressure of business was given as the reason why the company from which the lights are purchased could not send them any earlier. They were hurried here by express as soon as possible.

CHAPTER LxxvIII.
Long Live the Kina!

Long Live the King!
In the great throne room of Gretz-
hoffen palace, there were gathered,
late that day, those men highest in
power Of all the realm.
Count Frederick entered the room
at last--Dut not alone. At his side
there walked one whose presence was
greeted with a frown by those grave
and revered seigniors-it was a
woman.
Gentlemen" said Count Frederick,
smiling as he saw this reception.
you will pardon me that I bring
with me one whom l honor, whose wis

brought this young woman to our
shores, we have found the lost treas

most unnoticed, in the corner where he
sat sunken down-the weakling king
made some show of resentment at
what he heard. A snarl, growl of
rage almost inarticulate, came from
him.

Count Frederick, suddenly turning to
him, growing wrath in his tones now,
II call you your majesty as yet, but
dare say to you, your majesty-your
drunken majesty-your weak and
HELPLESS coward maieSty-that there
shall never be wasted upon you or
your purpose one penny of this treas
ure which we have found.
'That, gentlemen" said he, turning
to the councillors and ministers who
stood about, "is the treasure Of the
people. It was saved for them. 1t

is not fit to wear.

MOURNING FOR MONEY.

If you are planning to send some
money to Old Mexico, you had better
send it in an envelope with mourn
ing border upon it, not because your
hopes of its reaching its destination
are dead, but to help it on its way.
The bandetti on the border, and
some of the officers have the habit of
opening letters, especially registered
ones, which are apt to contain money
and appropriating the contents for
their own use. But the Mexicans are
superstitious people and the sign of
mourning is something sacred to
them. They fear to desecrate it, and
mourning envelopes are passed by and
given the right of way over other
mail.
So if you are going to send money,
real sure enough Uncle Sam money,
into Mexico better play like its dead,
or it may never get where you want
it to, but end its journey by purchas-
ing chile or some other form of edi-

ST. LOUIS DAIRY Co.
DISCUSS CONDENsORY HERE
I. L. White, Fieldman for Big Milk
Organization, Visits the City
on Scouting Expedition.
HE URGES DAIRY PROMOTION
Says If Output of Milk Sufficient to
Justify Company Would Estab-
lish Plant Here.

"The st. Louis Dairy Company
would establish a condensory in Mex
leo if the supply of milk justified such
an establishment. We would ask no
bonus of $4,000 but l would suggest
such a fund might be raised for loan
purposes among the farmers who are
entering the dairy business toward
the promotion Of the industry here"
Thus did T. L. White. feldman of the
st. Louis Dairy Co., sum up the local
situation regarding a eondensory.
Mr.. White visited this city Mon
day evening and was the guest of
Ross Martin, of the Rock Spring
Dairy. Mr.. Martin is shipping large
quantities of milk and cream to st.
Louis each month. When he told Mr..
White of the plan to give $4,000
bonus for the establishment of con-
densory in this city Mr.. White laugh
ed and said if the field justified it
his company would establish such a
plant without cent from the Mexico
citizens.
Mr.. White suggested that fund of
$4,000 for the purpose of loaning it
to farmers starting in the dairy busi-
ness and used for the promotion of the
industry in this section would not be
a bad idea.
The st. Louis Dairy Co. have six
condensory plants. They are used to
care for the surplus milk after the
routes and ice cream industries in st.
Louis have been supplied. Mr. White
will be in Mexico again making
further investigation.
