Yet if the chance did come. If the

might pay Cranston to make an i'm

reason FOR surprising that Cranston
suspected his possession of the let
ters; he would not be particularly
watchful, and would probably pigeon
hole them until spring in Lennox's
desk.
And the truth was that Cranston
had reasoned out the situation almost
perfectly. When Dan awakened in
the morning, and the snow lay already
foot deep over the wilderness world,
he knew that he would have no chance
to act upon the CranSton case until
the SHOWS melted in the spring. So
he pushed all thought Of it out Of his

pleasant subjects. 1t was true that he

1t they became quite ambidextrous.
And in Mexico, for another instance,
straw ballots are not unknown, ex-
cept that in the southern republic they
are usually designated as presidential
elections"
One Of the first references to straw
is in Exodus, when Pharaoh pro-
nounced his famous ''Ye shall no more
give the people straw; let them go
and gather straw for themselves"
Pharaoh was evidently the political
boss of mis- day, and shrewd one, for
it is reported that "the people were
scattered abroad to gather stubble in
stead of straw"
Notwithstanding the usefulness of
ballots of straw-to which Webster
pays its compliments as "a thing of
smallest worth'-they are as fashion
able now as appendicitis ever was.

Women Not "ImmortaIs.n

Women have applied for admittance
to the French Academy, but the I'M
mortals" already there are not in
favor of admitting them. NJ. Poincare
is atone in courageously favoring the
admission of women. If Nine. GARNER
succeeds in forcing open the door, he
says, he will not be the last of the
Forty to congratulate her. NJ. Bourget
holds that the traditions of the acad-
envy are against women being admit
ted. NJ. Emile Boutroux sees no OBJ
.jeetion-if it is the wish of the pub

To many people the most important
considerations in the building of a
home are substantial construction and
comfort within. They are not keen
about a pretentious exterior or some
freakish design which win attract at
tention. Rather, they prefer a house
Of modest and popular lines, plain in
design, but radiating a feature of good
Old-fashioned comfort. Too often in
the construction of a house these fun
damental features are overshadowed
by the demands of a faddish age and
as result the finished structure is
far from attractive and in many cases
not at all comfortable or conveniently
arranged. $50.

Many Uses for Castor Oil.

This, however is 5he least important
of its uses, commercially speaking.

for it. is the making of transparent
soaps It also yields an acid utilized
in the making of candles. and another
acid which is an important Ingredient
