Episode
By ELINOR MARSH

Arthur Hemstreet, a rich young
American, before settling down to a
career, concluded to spend a season in
Europe. He sailed from New York to
Naples, thence proceeded to Rome and
later to Florence.
1t is supposed by persons who have
not been in Italy that one sees every
where relics of the ancient Romans.
There are comparatively few such
relics, but there are many of medieval
Italy. The most costly dwellings are
'palazzos," built several centuries ago.
Hemstreet took a fancy to Florence
and concluded to spend some time
there, so he rented a palazzo, or,
rather, half one, and, hiring servants,
settled himself down, as it were, in the
middle Of the sixteenth century.
The building had been divided into
two parts, the part that Hemstreet did
not occupy being occupied for a small
family hotel, Or rather what in Eu-
rope is called pension, which is mid
way between a hotel and a boarding
house.
One rainy afternoon Hemstreet, who
had spent most Of the day in the pic
ture galleries for which Florence is
noted, came to his palazzo. 1t was so
dark that his servants had lighted the
lamps, and, going upstairs, as he en-
tered the hall on which his bedroom
was located, he was aStOnished to see
that the hall was double the length he
had supposed it to be. At any rate,
he saw double the lights, but they
were dim, as we're the objects they
lighted
Hemstreet was very much puzzled
Going into his room he threw off
his wet OvercOat and rubber shoes
then went out with the intention OF
exploring the hail. He was surprised
to see that it ended as he had under,
stood it to end with a picture.
Hemstreet was frightened Surely
something had broken loose in his
brain. He went to the picture, exam
ined it, saw that it was what he had
supposed it was and went away resolv
ed to watch himself closely for Other
symptoms of a disordered mind But
he felt as we'll as he had ever felt
and after awhile he ceased to worry
about any supposed disorder.
However, he never went upstairs tC
his room without looking as soon as he
turned into the hallway to see if it haC
been doubled as before. But the fig
ures of the picture were always there
and the hallway was of it's usua
length.
One night when Hemstreet was il
bed he heard, or fancied he heard, {
giggle in the hall. There were no WON
en- in the house except a couple O
housemaids who knew their place anC
were in bed when Hemstreet had come
in. Curious to know what the SOUND
meant, he arose and, cautiously open
ing his door enough to see through thu
aperture. saw a sight that amazed hin
more than his previous unexplained
one. A young girl stood in the hal
facing the picture, laughing and beck

Moving the Right Way

Ten years ago the wheat crop in
Minnesota was nearly one million
acres larger than it is now. The de-
crease has amounted to nearly one
fourth the acreage of the entire crop.
While the wheat acreage was de-
creasing Is per cent, the corn acreage
has increased 76 per cent. With
$3.50, 900 acres planted this year,
crop worth $3.50, 900, 900 is promised
against a wheat crop of 3,715, 900
acres worth $44. 100000. The 1909
yield of alfalfa was cut from 1890
acres. Last year SO, 900 acres were
cut, yielding 157. 900 tons. Accord
ing to estimates received from the
railroads by the agricultural. extern
sion division. University Farm, st.
Paul, 1000 cars of livestock we're
shipped from farms in the state, the
total shipment being worth at least
$50, 900, 900.
With the increase in the amount of
livestock and the decrease in the
amount of wheat, the value OF lands
in Minnesota has been increased. This
increase has come because the product
of the land has paid the interest on
a larger investment. Land that is
raising a good crop of alfalfa and
raising herd of dairy cows to feed
it to is worth 500 an acre. Land
that is raising wheat even at 81 a
bushel is not paying the expense of
cultivating the land and the interest
and taxes on 500 worth Of property
unless it is making yield of nearly
Is bushels to the acre. The average
yield over the state this year is ia
bushels and the average for the last
ten years is but 1876 bushels.
Land is going up as fast as we are
learning how to make it yield more.

HORRORS OF WAR.
AS They Were Depicted by Minister
In CromweIPs Time.


In CromweI's Time.
That war has horrors and is to be
avoided like a pestilCnce is no new
discovery. Modern war is probably
worse than any that preceded it, but
from the beginning thoughtful, Observ-
ing mankind has protested against the
suffering and wastefulness caused by
battle.
Here, for instance, is Rev. William
Hooke, a New Haven minister, who
later became a chaplain to Oliver CrOm-
we'll, writing in 1910 about war. The
death dealing instrument of that day
might now seem almost harmless by
comparison with the implements used
in these advanced times, but the New
Haven man was keenly alive to the
saddening aspect of their use.
Ware" he writes, lis the conflict
Of enemies enragel with bloody re-
venge The instruments are claShing
swords, rattling spears, skull dividing
Halberds, numbering pieces and thun-
dering CannOns, from whose mouths
proceed the fire and smell and smoke
and terror, death, as it were. of the
very bottomless pit
The prea> hers description of battle
has all the vigor of early pulpit rheto-
rio Here ride some dead men swag-
gering in their deepe saddles" he pic
lures; "there fall others alive upon
their dead horses; death sends mes
sage to those from the mouths of the
nuskets; these it talks to face to face
and stabs them in the fifth rib"

ingenuity brings forth new instruments

ments which was attended by a large
number of citizens and business men,
who are all very much in favor of
better telephone service for the city.
MIR. Abel clearly explained the diff
erent sizes of switch board required
for the different numbers of phones,
the sizes and kinds used by his COM
pany in neighbOring towns, many rules
and requirements necessary for the
installation Of a switch board. The
many loops, connections and contacts
are entirely too numerous to mention.
But as a whole it was a good meeting
and very good start toward the i'm
provement sought for by the people
of Alberta.

Thunderstruck. Hemstreet turned
from the door, felt in a closet for a
dressing gown, then hunted for a pair
Of slippers beside his bed, for he dare
not strike q light for fear of soaring
the apparition without, then returned
to the door, threw it open and went out
intending, if it were flesh and blood.
to capture it.
The hall was empty.
He looked to the end toward which
the girl had beckoned. There was the
picture, it's figures immovable as ever.
Hemstreet went back to bed in won
der. Somehow it did not seem to him
that he had seen a ghost. He felt no
terror, though he began to worry anew
lest there was hitch in his brain. He
lay awake most of the night trying to
solve the problem, but finally went to
sleep thinking Of it.
He arose the next morning shortly
before time for luncheon and stood
looking out on to the street. A cab
drove up to the pension, next door, and
a party alighted, which included sew
eral girls. Hemstreet was thunder
struck to recognize in one of these
girls the one who had stood in his hall
way the night before.
It was now evident that the appari-
ton was flesh and blood and doubtless
on lark. Hemstreet went next door
and asked if there was any passage
way between the pension and his domi-
cile, but the landlady answered him
that the two wings had been thorough
ly cut off from each other She had a
motive in this since she suspected that
Hemstreet had lost property, which
would be laid to some one in her wing
Hemstreet kept an eye out for the
apparitiOn in the galleries and finally
came upon her. She was an American
with a party Of Americans. After Sc
curing an introduction to her he ac-
cused her of having trespassed on his
premises. She colored and after some
hesitation confessed.
A hallway extending from one end
to the other of the original palazzo had
been cut in two parts by door swing
ing on central pivot. On one side
of the door was a mural painting. on
the other q mirror. A party Of tourist
girls in the pension had discovered this
secret and one night, led by the girl
Hemstreet had discovered. made a
foray into his hallway. Only the girl
in question entered, the rest hanging
back. She was reckoning them to
come when Hemstreet discovered her.
While he had been hunting for his
gown she had beaten a retreat and
swung the door back to it's original
place.
