An unusnal storm arose. late on
last Thursday afternoon in this lo-
cality. A strong wind came up
suddenly and overlook number
of plesure boats, and it was with
difficulty that they were pulled
ashore and that the occupants cs-
capped a cold bath. The sun shone
brightly during the windstorm
and not a drop of rain fell.
A serious fire almost resulted
on account of the high wind.
Some picnickers left a fire on the
beach at the Point, and il was
soon famed into blaze and
spread rapidly through the dry
grass up the hillside and across
the east end of the assembly
grounds. Then the wind changed
and turned the course of the fire
from Rev. Dyer's summer cot
tage, which was in great danger.
Those who fought the fire in the
afternoon supposed it had been
put out; but in the evening il
broke out afresh, and also on the
following morning.
A bible study class has been or
ganized under the leadership of
Mr.. Butler. The first evening was
devoted to the study of the book

the people. The next subject Ia
ken up was the seven letters to
the seven churches in Asia, as
found in the book of Revelations,
second and third chapters. This
is book that some people think
was not made to be understood.
Those who attend viii not fail to
get new light on the subject and
a clearer insight into its meaning.
The class is mdcnominational
and all are invited to attend. The
next meeting will be held We'd

30, in the Sunday school room
of the Baptist church.

Fur fabrics have passed the expert
mental stage and are now as much
part of the winters resources for gar
ments and trimmings as furs them
selves. They are used as furs are,
for trimming cloth coats and for the
body of coats that are usually fin
lshed off with genuine fur in collars
and cuffs. Their manufacture has
reached such a degree of excellence
that they can bear the closest sort OF
comparison with natural furs. When
the question of durability is raised the
evidence is all in favor of fur fab
rfcs-they outlast almost all other
cloths and outwear the softest furs by
many seasons.
Manufacturers have been espe-
cially successful in initiating sealsldn,
molesktA, Persian lamb, broadtail and
beaver. The moleskin and broadtail
plushes make the richest looking coats
and are used in luxurious wraps,
trimmed with handsome furs for the
dressiest wear. One of the coats in
the picture is of seal plush with col
Tar and cuffs and wide border at the
bottom of short-haired fox. This is
coat for general wear and Is guaran-
tee of comfort in the coldest weather.
It has a plain body with skirt por-
ton plated to 1t across the back, and
a wide belt that is the only break in
Its long lines.

England and France have made .
remarkable wartime record in raising
crops this year. The French crop Of
wheat promises to be 130.0QO,OOO BUSH
els more than last year, and England
probably will have 30.000.000 mor'
than in 1917.
With 100000 fewer male laborers on
the land than before the war, England
and Wales have planted SO per cent
more land to crops this year than in
1916, and the area of grain is the
largest on record. The increase in
grain and potatoes is 2,042, 900 acres
Scotland and Ireland are expected to
show almost as great an increase. The
wheat acreage in England and Wales
is 2,6G5,000 acres; oats, 2,S2O,O0O
acres; barley, 100000 acres; rye and
minor grains, 6S2.OO0 acres; potatoes
645,000 acres.
The entire wheat area of the United
Kingdom this year as estimated by
Broomhall is 100000 acres, on which
the crop may exceed 10O,0O0.OC+'
bushels.

Wallace must have slept for a pro-
Ionged period, for when next he be-
came conscious he started up to see,
to his intense astOniShment, q pretty
little girl of three or four years, stand
ing in front of him and looking at him.
He rubbed his eyes, expecting her to
disappear. But she was still there, and
just as he was beginning to piece to-
gether a Spanish phrase she spoke to
him in English.
Il want my daddy"
Wallace reached out and drew the
child toward him. "Where is your
daddy?" he asked. "And who are
you?"
I'm Eleanor" she answered, "and
won't you please find my daddy for
me?"
She pointed with a grimy little hand
toward the interior of the shack, and
Wallace, struggling to his feet with a
great effort, made his way inside.
1t was almost dark in the hut, and
Wallace could only make out with diff
ficulty the form of a man who lay, face
downward, upon the ground near the
wall. Presently, however, as his eyes
became more accustomed to the OBJ
scurity, he saw the bullet wound in
the back of the head.
He looked up at the child, who stood
by, unconcerned. go away, Eleanor.
he said gently.
The child, too young to know any
thing of death, went out of the hut
and began to play in the shaft of sun
light that filtered through the branches
of the palms. Wallace searched the
dead mans pockets. He found moth
ing, however, except a military pass,
signed by General Linares of the
Spanish forces, authorizing the bearer
to pass through the lines; and, after
a moments reflection, he decided to
leave it on the body.
So this man had been the child's ia
ther, and, apart from her speech, his
coloring showed that he had been an
American. Wallace concluded that he
had been a planter, trapped in Santi-
ago. He raised the body in his arms
and tried to turn it over, but let it
fall when he saw the work that the
bullet had made of the face. He must
not let the little girl carry away any
thing of such memory as that!
He groped his way outside and
beckoned to her. "What is your other
name, Eleanor?" he asked.
The little girl only looked at him i;
it was evident that she did not under
stand the meaning of his question.

TAJIRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great Ameri-

Viscount Inajiro Tajiri. newly elect
ed mayor of the city of Tokyo, Japan
is a graduate of the class of 70 Of
Yale university, where he specialized
in economics, finance. politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan. he was appointed
secretary in the department Of
finance and also TO chair in the im-
periai university at Tokyo. Suhse-
,,uently he was director of the bureau
of the national debt banks and reve
nue..
In the course of time he was admit
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister of finance, first in 1S92-1S97.
and again in 1S9S-1904. He was made
a baron in 1895 and a viscouDt in 1907.
More recently he has been chief Of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
viscOunt adds interest in and mastery
of natural science, and in both fields

His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon a candi-

Provide Plenty of Water.

Water receptacles for poultry should
be large enough to hold plenty of
water to last at least "a hours, so the
fowls will never suffer from lack OF
water. Drinking vessels should be
carefully rinsed when fresh water is
given. If water is supplied irregular
ly, the hens will likely drink toormuch
at a time. 1t should not be exposed to
the suns rays in summer or be al
lowed to freeze in winter if this can be
avoided. A flock of so hens in good
laying condition will require four to
six quarts of water a day.
Shade of some kind should be pro-
vided for poultry, and this can often
be advantageously furnished by plant
ing fruit trees (such as pear, plum,
cherry and apple) in the yard.

After the sling had been adjusted
he discovered that the sense of we'll
being, due to the hypodermic. was al
ready beginning to LEAVE him. His
servant helped him into the tent and

shack. He drew the little girl down
beside him.
"Now listen to me, Eleanor" he
said "Your daddy has gone away.
He will be gone for long time. You
must be good and patient, and soon
somebody will come to take care Of
you. Do you understand"
The child's lip quivered, but she did
not cry. She fixed her large gray eyes
upon him.
"Who are you?" she asked, with the
dfrectness of childhood.
MY name is Mark
81 like you, Mark. l will go with
YOU till my daddy comes back"
"All right. Then sit down here be-
side me and play" muttered Wallace,
wondering rather grimly what there
was for her to play with.
But the grubby little fingers were
soon busy in the sandy soil. Wallace
watched the child, wondering who she
was, and how it had happened that
the father had been forced to take her
into the jungle, into the midst of the
cOntending armies. Her clothing was
almost in rags, and she must have been
drenched by the rains of the preceding
night. 1t had certainly been a des-
perate and a difficult adventure for the
dead man.
The light began to fade. Wallace,
half delirious now from pain and
thirst, struggled to preserve his con-
sciousness for the sake of the little
girl. Sometimes he would emerge
from a semi-stupor and look round for
her anxiously; but he always found
her, no great distance away, building
sand castles out of the soft soil and
chattering to herself as happily as if
she had already forgotten her sorrow.

and at the under arms. In other terms
it conceals the deficiencies of the too
thin figure. 1t is finished with roll
high at the back.
By the same sort of subtle manage
ment the plaits and the horizontal
bands on the wide panels of the skirt,
fill out the thin narrow hips and seem
to betray a curve which they really
help to make. Altogether it is unusual
ly we'll designed and so simple the
home dressmaker can hardly fail TO
make a good copy of it. Tucks or
striped material may be substituted
for the velvet bands. If striped ma
terial is used it must match in color
