Solve Committing Problem.

Residents Of Kalabagh, on the In.
dus river in India, have solved the
problem of committing between their
homes and the valley, three miles up
stream, where they till a very fertile
soil. The village is in desert, ex-
cept for this small valley.
In the morning the villagers walk
to The valley, but in The evening they
initiate goatskin bags which each man
carries, and wade out into the swift
stream of the river This carries them
rapidly down stream, and steering
with their hands they can reach the
bank just outside the small, mud
walled houses III which they live.

lions" Ii originated from two
distinct settlements. The first
was made by Roger Williams in
1886. He was the pastor of a
church in Salem. AS he advo-
Gated radical reforms he was
ordered TO return to England,
but fled TO the Narragunsett
tribe Of Indians, From them he
obtained a tract of land and
called the town which he estab-
lished Providence. in token of
Gods mercy which had so far
provided for hi'a.
About the me time Mrs.
Anne Hutchin. and her fol-
lowers were expelled from Mas
sachusetts on account of theo-
logical dispute. She made her
way to the island of Aquidneck,
which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats.
The name of this island was
changed to the Isle Of Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island in the Mediterranean.
BY common usage 1t became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles ii gave Rhode Island
very liberal charter, and this re-
NAMED In force until 1871, when
new state constitution was
adopted by mass conventions,
and two years later another new
constitution was legally voted.
The change in constitutions
caused what was known as
DORIS rebellion.
The entrance Of Rhode Island
into the Union in 1890 completed
the list of the original thirteen
states. Though Rhode Island is
the smallest OF all the states.
with only 1,24S square miles, 1t
is very thickly populated and
has five presidential electors,
. which is more than those of a
number Of states OF much larger
territory.

He had no Indifference more PROFOUND
than that upon which her strained
conception of the relation between
cause and effect seemed TO touch and,
from his point of view, to be missing
should be the lightest of calamities.
1t is true that he was concerned with
the restoration of Noble Dill to the
rest of the Dills so far as such an
event might affect his own incompara-
BILE misfortuneS-but not otherwise.
He regarded Noble and Mobiles disap-
pearance merely as unfair damage to
himself. He continued to look at this
sorrowing great-aunt of his, and his
thoughts made his strange gaze APP
pear to her so hardened that she shook
her head and looked away.

perceived this, that he impulsively de-

was among them.
1t really seemed that to many per-

His own feelings were In nowise

met him did not tend TO remove them.
Each member of the party seemed to

Cousin Virginia nodded comprehend

over" she said. "He wasn't handsome,
nor. impressive, of course nor any
thing like that, but he always spoke
so nicely to people on the street. Tn
sure he never harmed even a kitten,
poor soul!"
"Pm sure he never did" Herbert's
mother agreed, gently. Not even a
kitten. do wonder where he is
now
But Aunt Fanny uttered little cry
of protest. I'm afraid we may hear"
she said, ANY moment !"
And the most tragic news of Noble
Dill these sympathetic women could
have heard would have surprised them
little; they had unanimously set their
expectation in so rOmantically pesSi-
mistic a groove. But if the truth of
his Whereabouts could have been
made known to them, as they sat thus
together at what was developing vir-
tually into his wake, with Herbert as
a compulsory participant, they would
have turned the session into a riot of
amaZement Noble was in the very
last place (they would have said,
when calmer) where anybody In the
world could have madly dreamed Of
looking for him They would have
been right about it. No one could
have expected to find Noble tonight
inside the Old four-square brick house
of Mr.. III. |. Atwater, Senior, chief of
the Atwaters and father of the dis
turbing Julia. This was an old man of
rigidly limited sympathies; and his
opinion of Noble Dill had become al
most notoriousi here was no bosom of
refuge for lorn Noble needing sol
ace, nor was his house for any moment
hospitabIe with Julia out of it, More
over, Mr.. III. !. Atwater, Senior, was
not at present in the house he had
closed and locked it yesterday, giving
the servants a weeks vacation and
telling them not to return till he sent
for them; and had then gone out of
town to look over hominy mill he
thought of buying. And yet as the
wake went on. there was light in the
house and under that light sat Noble
Dill.
Returning home, after Florence had
placed the SCATTERING news within his
hand, Noble had changed his shoes
and his tie. He was but a mechan-
ism; he had no motive. The shoes he
put on were no better than those he
took off the fresh tie was no lovelier
than the one he had worn; nor had II
even the lucidity to be purple one
as evidence Of grief No; his action
was. If so viewed, Crazy" as Aunt
Fanny had called IT, Agitation first
took this form that was ALL Love
and change of dress are closely allied
and In happier times when Noble came
home from work and would see Julia
in the evening he usually changed his
clothes. No doubt there is some faint
tracery here, too indlstInct TO repay
contemplation.
When he left the house he walked
rapidly downtown, and toward the
end Of this one-mile journey he ran;
but as he was then approaching the
railway station, no one thought him
eccentric. He was. however: for
when he entered the station he went
to bench and sat looking upward
for more than ten minutes; then rose
and went to ticket-window and asked
for timetable.

thing of the past, though in another
sense this former owner and proprie
tor was certain that he would never
hear the last of it. However, on ac-
count of the life of blackmail and
slavery now led by the members of
the old regime, the Orioles extinction
was far less painful to Herbert than
his father supposed; and the latter
wasted great deal of severity, in
sisting that the printing press should
be returned that very night to Uncle
Joseph. Herbert's heartiest RETROSPECT
tive wish was that the ole printing
press had been returned to Uncle Jo-
seph long age.

Aunt Harriet suggested. Nobody
knows where he goes when he gets
the way he did this afternoon when
we were discussing it all with him.

HE can't stay away forever" Aunt
Fanny remarked. THAT garage is
charging him five dollars an hour for
the automobile he's in, and surely even
Joseph will decide there's limit to
wildness some time p
Il don't care when he comes back"
Herbert's father declared grimly.
Whenever he does he's got to take
that printing press back-and Herbert
will be let out of the house long
enough to carry it over. His mother
or l will go with him."
Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself on the third
step of the stairway in the hall, and
maintained as much logged silence as
he could. Once however, they got
yelp of anguish but of him. 1t was
when Cousin Virginia said:
"Oh, Herbert, Herbert! How could
you make up that terrible falsehOod
about Mr.. Crum? And, think of it;
right on the same page with your
cousin F'lorence's pure little poem !"
Herbert uttered some sounds, totally
incoherent but loud, and expressive of
a supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he
liked neither Cousin Virginia's Gliding
nor Cousin FlOrence's poem.
"Shame !" said his father.
Herbert controlled himself. 1t
could be seen that his spirit was not
broken, even when Aunt Fanny
mourned shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
"Oh, If boys could only be girls"
Herbert just looked at Der.
