HE NEEDED NO INTERPRETER
Up-to- Dateness of Chinese Official Rather Surprised This Pitts
 burah Banker.

A banker who had visited China sev- eral times on important financial mis- sions thinks the "heathen Chinee" is not only intelligent but that he has a delicate sense of humor, as we'll. He tells this one on himself:
 ''I called on an important Chinese official for conference and, supposing he knew no more of English than I did Chinese. took an interpreter. When we arrived at the office of the official I told my business to the interpreter. expecting him to translate my state ment to the Chinanan and then to re- peat the reply to me in English. How ever, I had hardly finished speaking to the interpreter when the Chinaman. with humorous twinkle In his eyes. leaned over and said to me, in perfect English: MT. Jones. please tell me who is pitching for Pittsburgh this year. Wall Street Journal.

 Harris was so pleased at the signs of returning coherence that he could have hugged the doctor, but he only said, You've had enough for tonight And you won't get out, because if you try to I'll knock you senseless in the bottom of the sleigh"
 After that the doctor remained si- lent for some time. Then suddenly he demanded: "Shay. Harris, where you takin' me to, anyway?'
 "I'm taking you to my home"
 "Wha' for? You're all right, I guess "" Suddenly the doctor stood erect.
 Harris, is your wife sick?
 That's why I came for you"
 "Well, why the devil didn't you, say so? Here, give me that whip. Har- ris, Harris, what did you waste time arguing for?"

 Harris made no more attempts to market his wheat that winter. His wife's health now became his first con- sideration, but, even had there been no such problem, experience had shown that nothing was to be gained by making the long and expensive trip to Emerson. The cost of subsistence of man and team on the way devoured all the proceeds of the wheat; indeed. there were instances on record in the settlement where men who attempted such trips during the winter actually came back poorer than they left, while those who could show gain of a bag of sugar, a sack of four, or a box of groceries were considered fortunate indeed.
 'sWhat shall we eat?" said Harris to his wife, when, after full discussion, It was decided that no more grain .ould be marketed until spring.

INTEREST IN OLD MANsEs
Traveller Finds Atmosphere of Ro- nance Surrounds Picturesque
 Abodes of Eastern States.

Vacation pilgrims travelling by au- tomobile or trolley or pursuing the less exhilarating but more tranquil joy of exploring country highways and by- ways on foot or drawn by some faith full old Dobbfn have singled out about every structure or locality famous in song story and history. Waysfde inns. taverns, military headquarters. church es and the birthplaces of celebrities have all come in for their share of worship.
 There is, however, one species of landmark which seems to have es- capped the special attention of those interested in relics of our pious fore fathers-the old manses of New Eng land and the middle states. The rec tory or parsonage of today was known in the, time of our ancestors by the old Scotch title of manse.
 At first thought t might seem that no more particular interest would hover about these ancient manses than about any of the picturesque homes of an earlier century. Indeed 1t is not so much in outward appearance that they are to be set apart, but because of an intangible atmosphere of sacred romance surrounding them-invisible clouds of glory" trailing back to the days when the manse played a most important part in the life of the com munity. Furthermore each of these old ministerial dwellings has a story all of, its own. It was by accident discovered this, and now whenever happy chance takes me to a new To- cality the first place hunt up is the manse.-Chicago Daily News.

STILL KEEN ON AIR TRAFFIC
Germany Actively at Work Building Airships-Monster Zeppelin. Said
 to Be in Contemplatiou.

l
 A few weeks ago Germany delivered brand-new Zeppelin, tf@ largest yet built, to France and another new Zep- pelin to Great Britain. Yet we are told by the Airplane that Herr Cols- mann. the director general of the Zep- pelin interests, recently returned from the United States after negotiating with certain firms regarding transat- lantic air traffic. Negotiations have also been carried on with Holland. Sweden and the United States for the construction of airships on an inter- national basis. It is rumored that a new type Zeppelin airship. with load capacity of 60 tons, accommodation for 500 passengers and fuel capacity for a voyage three times the length Of the Atlantic crossing is to be evolved.

CHAPTER IlI-continued.

It was not dreadfully cold, but the sky seemed only a vast turmoil of snow. Darkness came down very ear ly, but at last Harris began to recog- nize familiar landmarks close by the trail, and just as night was settling in he drew into the partial shelter of the bench on the bank of the coulee. The horses pulled on their reins per sistently for the stable, but Harris forced them up to the house. His loud shout was whipped away by the wind and strangled in a moment, so he climbed stiffly from the wagon and pulled with numbed hands at the double thickness of carpet that did service for door. He fancied he heard a sound, but could be sure of nothing; he called her name again and again, but could distinguish no answer. But at last the fastenings which help the carpet gave way, and he half walked, half fell, into the house.
 The lantern burned dimly, but it was not at the lantern he looked. In the farthest corner, scarcely visible in the feeble light, stood his wife, and at her shoulder was the gun, trained steadily upon him.
 Mary Mary. don't you know mel" he cried.
 She dropped her weapon to the floor, where it went off, harrnlessly burying its charge in the sod wall.
 Thank God, oh, thank God!" she exclaimed.
 He threw off his wet overcoat and rushed 10 her side. But she sat silent on the bed, staring absently at the light f1ickering uncertainty in the wind from the open door.
 He hastily rearranged the carpet, then, returning to her, he took her hands in his and rubbed them briskly. But she still stared vaguely at the light. >
 Suddenly a thought came to him. He rushed outside, to find that the horses, of their own accord, had taken shelter beside the stable. Here from the wagon he drew little bundle and hurried back to the house.
 She was sitting where he left her, shivering slightly and watching the play of the light as it fickered up and down the wall. He tore the package open and spread its contents before her.
 At first she took no notice. but gradually her eyes found the outline of soft cloth and dainty feminine de- vices. With great joy he watched the color returning as her set face re-

 Just as the dawn was breaking he knelt beside her. Her eyes were very large and quiet, and her face was white and still. But she raIsed one pale hand, and the thin fingers fondled in his hair. She drew his face very gently down, and big silent tears stood in his eyes.

Ornamental Thimbies.

At one time, apart from the shape, which is imperative, thimbles were decorated with all kinds of precious stones at the tip-and these were, of course, designated more for ornament than use, when 1t was the fashion, as Sheridan remarks, for fine ladies to play tat fine york;" according to the mothers days, besides seeing to the household and personal linen, gen. erally worked in delicate material in silks and satins, when a smaller thim- ble was brought into play and used with some of the witchery of the fan.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as. tonishing statement that one reason why 90 many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton, N. r., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

Following the custom inaugurated by
Past Grand Master j. w. Goodell before
his death number of years ago, the
past grands of Hamilton Lodge presented
the retiring noble grand, w. A. Harding,
with q grand lodge badge or jewel The
presentation last evening was made by
Past Grand Charles G.. McGaffey. The
presentation of this past grand jewel this
year was a little out of the usual order,
as the Jewel presented last evening was
the one worn in his lifetime by Past
Grand Master J. w. Goodell himself, this
Jewel being presented this year at the
wish of Mrs. Goodell.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements consisted of w. A. Harding,

Visiting brothers were present from

Lodge has made good gain during the
last year and the lodge was never in a
better condition financially.
