siotter Shortage Imminent.

Insurance companies find 1t neces-
sary to retrench on their supplies of
various kinds, owing to the increased
cost of paper stock. In most cases
prices have doubled. Companies are
cautioning economy and saving In every
possible way so far as literature is con-
cerned. Many companies that have been
liberal with blotters and calendars are
cutting down their supply materially.
Some companies are not getting out
any calendars this year, others are re
ducing their usual number and some
have discontinued getting out large
blotters which now cost about 10 cents
apiece. Where agents are found to be
nonproductive their supply of calen
dars and blotters is being decreased
materially. Paper is such an item to
day that economy In its use Is neces
sary.-West<rn Underwater.

CHAPTER /.
Introducing Her.

None but the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much of a town,
and the very most patriotic of them
all has no word of praise for the ugly
little red c. B. & Q. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud of
the little station. At the same time it
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state a debt of gratitude for it's pres
ence there. 1t is the favorite social
rendezvous for the community The
arrival of a passenger train in Mount
Mark is an event-something in the
nature of a c. B. & Q. Eat home" and
is always attended by large and en-
thusiastic gathering of "our best
people" All that is lacking are the
proverbial eight refreshments -
SO it happened that one sultry morn
ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual flutter of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waiting room of the station. The ha-
bitues were there in force. Conspicu-
Gus among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.
The Daily News reporter, in we'll
creased, light gray suit and tan shoes,
and with eyeglasses scientifically bal
anced on his aquiline nose, was making
pointed inquiries into the private plans
of the travellers. The young woman
going to Burlington to spend the week
end was surrounded with about fifteen
other young women who had come to
''see her Off" Mount Mark is a very
respectable town, be it understood, and
girls do not go to the station without
an excused
A man in a black business suit stood
alone on the platform, his hands in
his pockets, his eyes wandering from
one to another of the strange faces
about him. His plain white ready-made
tie proclaimed his calling.
ITS the new Methodist minister"
volunteered the baggage master, cross
ing the platform. 81 know him. He's
not a bad sort"
'They say he's got five kids, and
most of 'em girls" responded the Ad-
ans express man. 81 want to be on

away down the track, where a thin

In the Barn of All Places.

But-well, when 1 found this grand,
old, rambling barn, I was so thankful
couldn't resist praying about it,"
"But a barnl" calculated the per-
picked member" do you call that
blessing?"
Yes. indeed I do" declared Pru-
dence. Then she explained patiently:
"Oh, 1t is on the children's account,
you know They have always longed
for big, romantic barn to play In.
That's why 1 couldn't resist saying my
prayers-I was so happy / couldn't
hold in
AS they walked slowly toward the
house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par
sonage girl in frank curiosity and some
dismay, which she strongly endeavored
to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru-
dence. The Ladies had said it would
be so nice to have a grown girl in the
parsonage Prudence was nineteen
from all account, but she looked like a
child, and-well, it was not exactly
grown-up to give thanks for a barn,
to say the very leasti Yet this girl
had full charge of four younger chill
dren, and was further burdened with
the entire care of a minister-father
| Well, welll Mrs. Adams sighed a
little.
You are tired" said Prudence SYM
pathetically. Its so hot walking.
isn't it? Let's sit on the porch until
you are nicely rested"
| This is fine chance for us to get
| acquainted" said the good woman with
| eagerness.
Now, If the truth must be told. there
had been some ill-feeling in the Ladies'
Aid society concerning the reception of
/ Prudence. After the session of con-
ference, when Rev. Mr.. Starr was as
signed to Mount Mark, the Ladies OF
the church had felt great interest In
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several In
| teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be
| fore, after long illness, and Prudence
! the eldest daughter, had taken charge
| of the household. There were five chill
dren. So much was known, and being
women, they looked forward witt
| eager curiosity to the coming of Pru
dence, the young mistress of the par
sonage.
Mr.. Starr had arrived at Mount MARI
q week ahead of his family. Prudence
and the other children had spent the
week visiting at the home of theil
aunt, and Prudence had come on a da,
in advance of the others to wind ev
erything up" as she had expressed 1t

and hurriedly, and Prudence leaped
to her feet. Her fair hair chung about
her face in damp, babyish tendrils and
her face was flushed and dusty, but
alight with friendly interest. She ran
forward eagerly, thrusting forth slim
and grimy hand.
'YO on are Mrs. Adams, aren't you?
am Prudence Starr 1t is so kind of
you to come the very first day." she
cried "It makes me love you right at
the start"
"Ye-yes, 1 am Mrs. Adams" Mrs.
Adams was embarrassed. She could
not Danish from her mental vision that
kneeling figure by the nailkeg. Inter
rogatiOn was written all over her
ample face, and Prudence promptly
read it and fastened to reply.
II do not generally say my prayers
in the barn, Mrs. Adams, 1 assure you.

curl of smoke announced the coming
of No. and Prudence-heard nothing
of this conversation. He was not n
handsome man. His hair was gray at
the temples his face was earnest, only
saved from severity by the little clus-
tiers of lines at his eyes and mouth
which proclaimed that he laughed
often and with relish.

WENCK ACCUSERS
PROTEST AGAINST
WHITMAN REFEREE

Albany, Jan. 25.-one reason for the
second postponement of the trial of
the bribery charge lodged against Fred
erick A. Wenck, State Boxing Commits
sioner, by Harry Pollok, Pat Powers
and John J. White, fight promoters,
became apparent to-day when Emile
Fuchs. attorney for Wenck's sccusers.
came to Albany to protest against the
Governors choice Of referee.
Governor Whitman named his coun-
sci, Franklin b. Lord, TO hear the evil
dence for and against Wenck, and after
two postponements, at the request OF
Pollok and his friends, the case has
been called definitely for Monday.
IL was learned tonight that Mr.
Fuchs had come 70 protest personally
against Mr.. Lord sitting as commits
sioner in the case. He had long
talk with Mr.. Lord at the Capitol. but
did not meet William A. Orr, the Gov
ernor's secretary and one Of the spon-
sors for Wenck's appointment. Fuchs's
objection TO Mr.. Lord, il was stated,
was based on the lstters friendship
for Wenck, but it is understood that
he made no progress with his COM
plant.
Mr.. Fuchs said later that his clients
intended to press the charges on Mon.
day and would not seek any more de-
lay. he examined Wenck's answer. but
found nothing in it but a general
denial
