BACK FROM HATTIESBURG.

The Rev. Jesse c. Rowan and Hon.
John F. Frierson have returned from
Hattiesburg, where they went early in
the week to attend the synod OF
Presbyterian churches of Mississippi
The gentlemen report an interesting
and enjoyable meeting.
One of the most important matters
that came up at the synod was the ac-
ceptance by the body Of an apportion-
ment Of three hundred thousand dol
lars to be used for the Southwestern
Presbyterian University at Memphis
Reports from churches all over th'
state showed that the Presbyterian
are very active at this time spiritually
and financially.

1t has always been our idea of
harmony in newspaper office to have

like the filing of a cross-cut saw;

one Of a boiler shop. There is a great
chance for improvement along this
line. The disturbing noises work

creek?" asked the boy.
Curly nodded and took the note.
This was what he read:
"Sam, come to Chalkeye's place soon
as you get this. There we will talk
over the business.
"YOU KNOW WHO"
Though he did not know who, Curly
thought he could give a pretty good
guess both as to the author and the
business that needed talking over.
Through the open door of the hotel
he saw Sam approaching. Quickly he
sealed the flap of the envelope again.
"a letter for you, SAM"
Cullison tore open the envelope and
read the note.
ga friend Of mine has come to town
and wants to see me- he explained.
To help out his bluff, Curly sprang
the feeble-minded jest on him. Blonde
or brunette?"
I'm no lady's man." Sam protested,
content to let the other follow a wrong
scent.
"Sure not. 1t never is a lady," Elan
drau called after him as he departed.
But Sam had no more than turned
the corner before Curly was out of a
side door and cutting through an alley
toward Chalkeye's place. Reaching
the back door of the saloon, he opened
it a few inches and peered in. A min
ute later Sam opened the front screen
and asked Il question of the mar in
the apron. The bartender gave a jerk
Of his thumb. Sam walked toward the
real and turned in at the second pri-
vate booth.

Curly gave Stats a quarter of an
hour before Sauntering back to town.
AS lie vas passing the Silver Dollar
saloon a voice called him. Stone and
Blackwell were standing in the door.
FlandTau stopped.
Soapy's deep-set eyes blaZed at him.
"lou didn't tell me it was Luck Cul-

and him are thick, are you?"
1--WE met him once, if that's being
thick. That time I shot him up"
"Funny. And then he went bail for
you?"
"Yes."
"Now, I wonder Why"
The eyes of the man had narrowed
to red Sits. His head had shot for
ward on his shoulders as that of a
snake does. Curly would have given a
good deal just then for the revolver
lying on the bed of his room. For ii
was plain trouble was in sight. The
desperate had been drinking heavily
and was ready to do murder.

you're a liar. He did it because
you promised to sneak up to my ranch
and spy on us. That's why he did it."
With the last word his gun jumped
into sight. That he was flashing him
self into a fury was plain. Presently
his rage would end in a tragedy.
Given a chance, Curly would have
run for it. But Soapy was a dead shot

Before the song was finished there
came the sound of shutiling feet. One
of the men in the mex stall was leav-

playing safe. This adventure had
caught him so unexpectedly that he
had not found time to run back to his

Jtfly slipped forward quietly, and
passed unobserved into the third stall.
The wall which divided one room from
another was of pine boarding and did
not reach the ceiling. Flattened against
the wall, his attention strained to the
utmost, Curly began to catch words
and phrases of the low-voiced speak
ers in the next compartment. His po-
sition was perilous in the extreme, but
he would not leave now until he had
found out what he wanted to know.

SUGAR PRESERVES FLOWERS
Experiments Have Shown Its Value,
but Not With All Kinds, Says
London Newspaper.

II is reported that two professors
of a school of agriculture have made
some interesting experiments in pro-
longing the lives of cut flowers. One
hundred different flowers were used
in the experiments, and it was found
that sugar helped to keep most of
them fresh, but was positively in
furious to lilies and sweet peas. 1t
hastened the opening of roses and
orchids, but did not affect tulips,
daisies or chrysanthemums.
Experiments were made with
small quantities of chloral, ether,
glycerin, alcohol, hmewater and am
monia salts, each of which served to
lengthen the lives of various flowers.
Some of the flowers kept in sugar
and water lived four times as long as
they ordinarily would.
The sugar does not have an exact
ly equal effect on the different fow-
ers it preserves. Carnations seem to
