CHICAGO, Aug. 24-This is the story of an ectiplasm that sealed off and deals with vicissitudes of Edgar Jones, a negro whose occupation is the peddling of ice.
 "Mistah" Jones was attempting to deliver a ten pound block of ice to resident and upset a pan of red hot peas, which poured over his head Mrs. Kay Jones also used a rolling pin vigorously on his head. Someone telephoned to his wife that his head was hurt and she understood them to say he was dead, so she hung up the receiver and dashed for the life insur- ance office.
 Meanwhile a sympathetic neighbOr plastered the negro's head with a preparation that turned dazzling white when dry He arrived home by gas light and his wife took one look and tainted. A policeman rushed in and started to club Jones. His wife re- vived and took another look at him.

GOVERNOR SMALL IF
 ILLINOIS |s RADICAL

CHICAGO, August 25-Following a political rally held yesterday at Kan kakee, the home town of Governor Small, political observers declared the state of Illinois is giving promise of rivalling Minnesota and Iowa in radi- calism, from the policies advocated there. Addressing the gathering Gov ernor Small announced that he would seek re-nomination on the Republican ticket, and he endorsed the program adopted by the meeting. This declar- ed for the repeal of the Esch-Cum- mins Act, for no entangling alliances without the approval of the people through referendum, no declaration of war except through referendum of the people unless the country is invaded, and the popular election of Federal judges.

THE TOURIST TRAFFIC

The tourist traffic through Seward the year just ending, has been Of great value to Alaskans, many thou sands of dollars being left in this city by round-uip visitors. The statement by Carl Folsom that his company would bring 1000 tourists to the Val ley or Ten Thousand Smokes next year, is a very conservative one, when We realize that California agen cics report that at least three thou sand more tickets could have been sold 10 Alaska, had transportation beer available.
 In short space Of time Alaska will be the Mecca Of tourists now spend ing their summers at the imitation resorts in the East, where ones chief amusements are changing clothes, horseback riding, and sitting on a ve- randa. commenting on other guests. Alaska has more to offer than an! or the famous resorts in the Adiron- dacks and White Mountains. It's lofty peaks have never been scaled 0y man; it's tremendous glaciers never eXplor- ed; many or it's streams never whip ped by a fly. Trout, grayIing and whitefsA abound, and splendid wild game pictures may be had.
 The summer climate alone will compensate the tourist for the trip 10 the Northland. The days are just right, and the nights are fairly cool, making TOT resJIul sleep and a pleas urable outing
 Alaska is just realizing the value of the tourist, and another season will see extensive preparations made to entertain and hold their interest.

An Enthra1ling Romance
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

Immediately, but faints on the\sidewalk
when she has gone only short distance.
Steele takes here home with him, and
by sheer force of his will, holds death
at bay during the fight for her life. His
apparent interest in her terrifies Marcia

ry. In Washington, where Steele has
gone on business, he finds himself think
ing Of Anne, and on his return home
he goes into her room to see how she is.

impulse he asks her to give it to him.
Instantly the girl is seized with the most
terrible fear Steele has ever witnessed.

THREE LEAGUES
BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
1t may be easier to get three leagues Of ma
lions than one league of nations.
In the consideration of what to do it is not
so important to find out what people are
ready and willing to do as it is to discover
what they ought to do.
There is no doubt in the mind of any one
who thinks at all that the world can only be
saved by some sort of combination of nations,
and that to continue the present competition
is to proceed toward ruin.
1t is also apparent that for one reason and
another the universal mind is hot yet ready
for unified world government.
But it is ready for smaller combinations.
In fact, there are in existence two leagues of
nations that have been running successfully
quite a while, leagues which because of their
ability to combine have become enormously
powerful and prosperous. The two existing
leagues of nations are the United States of
America and the Empire of Great Britain.
Both of these are examples of the federation
of more or less Independent states for the
sake Of the advantages than come from con-
centration
Europe is now in the process of learning,
in the only way by which men learn anything,
that is, by tremendous mistakes and waste,
that the attempt to bring prosperity to Eu-
rope by means of a dozen or more separated
and hostile nations is hopeless.
Perhaps, therefore, they will soon be in a
state of mind to do as the British common
wealth has done and as the United States has
OOIlC, jIIdC 10, " IOl Ill d IulIu league.
1t might be called the League of Europe, or
the European Commonwealth of Nations, or
the United States Of Europe
The proposal is not one which possesses Sc
rious inherent difficulties.
There is a little nation at the very heart
of Europe that already shows how it can be
done 1t is Switzerland
The people of Switzerland are in part Ger
man, in part French and in part Italian. Yet
they all live together in concord they are
prosperous, they are farthest from bankrupt
cy of any nation in Europe, and altogether
the example Of their country is worthy of imi-
tatiOn
All you have to do, therefore, is to Switzer-
landize Europe.
If the hell stew of hate and vengeance and
national yanities will only subside enough to
enable the states Of Europe to get together in
a general conference and to form federation
or league for the benefit Of the people, the
way out will be cleared.
The League of Europe could cooperate
with the League Of Great Britain and the
League of America.
The people are tired of war and of bank
ruptcy. Some day or other they are going to
get into their skulls the truth, and there is no
possible way of preventing these two pests ex-
cept by federation.
Once the idea is carried out in Europe
there is no doubt it will be initiated by the
republics of South America and by the ma
tiOns of Asia,

CHAPTER XII
A Mans Heart

q TEELE realized afterward when he was
pacing up and down his room. that for
~ the second time in his life he had given
way to an act of impulse. His first had been
when he had brought Anne Temple into his
home, and his second had been that very
night, when urged by something too strong
for him to resist he had asked her to give
him the life that she held as valueess.
He knew that he had been wrong to ex-
cite her undUly and fury shook him when he
remembered the look in the nurses eyes
when she had hurried forward and insisted
that he leave the room Immediately. He
knew that the nurse was we'll within her
rights, and that there was reason enough
for her to be indignant with Anne lying in
a dead faint among the pillows. But John
Steele wasn't used to authority from any
one. He was accustomed to giving orders
and seeing them obeyed, and he had wanted
to remain in the room. Strangely enough
he felt that he had right to be there
But why had Anne tainted? What terri
Bile, haunting fear had his words aroused
in her? He remembered the look of terror
in her eyes as she had shrunk away from him
and nothing he had said could have fright
ened her like that, he was sure of it.
He had asked her to give him her life.
And at the thought the blood drummed heav-
lily in his temples. At the time he had hardly
been aware of the reason that had prompted
him to do this thing, but now he knew. Every
nerve in his body was leaping madly in his
veins He wanted Anne Temple for his wife
and not for any altruistic reason, either 1t
wasn't because he wanted to make her life
easier; it wasn't for any platonc reason
Whatever; 1t was because he loved her. Back
OF the sudden impulse thta had come to him
as he sat there beside her bed was some
thing deeper, something that must have
leaped up in his heart on that first day
when he had found her in the taxi asleep.
He loved her. And before the mad turbu-
lence of the emotion that seethed in him.
John Steele found himself helpless. Gone
was his idea of being free, together with his
Indifference toward love. 1t had fed be-
fore the look in pair Of long amber eyes,
and the wonder was that he hadn't realized
it before.
In the terrific grip of his passion John
Steele did not think of Anne's fear as a Sc
riOus Obstacle He had startled her and she
was still far from strong Her terror had
been due to the fact that she had been I'M
prepared for the strangeness of his request.
The more he thought of it the more con-
WINGED he was that this was the explanation
of her strange shrinking from him. and with
the conviction his spirits rose and he gave
himself up entirely to thoughts of her.
He had never dreamed of what it might
be like to love a woman. He wanted to throw
discretion to the winds, walk into Anne's
room and carry her off with him. somewhere
anywhere, where they could be alone, and he
could teach her to love him as he loved her.
Some day he would do that very thing;
some day when she was his wife, and he
would have the right to be alone with her as
much as he liked.

Just AMONG Ourselves

YOU pillow when it is pouring down
rain? Do you transplant your straw
berries when the ground is frozen? Do
you dig all your potatoes in a few hours?
We ask these questions because of a num-
Der of complaints from subscribers who have
not yet received the apple trees and grape
vines they ordered.
We are having these trees and vines
Many thousand have been ordered. We have
had as many as 500 requests for them in one
day.
We obtain these trees and vines from
nurseryman in Michigan. He has high rep
utation and our dealings with him have been
satisfactory through several years.
But he cannot ship in one day all the or
ders he gets. In fact, there are many days,
as has been the case recently, when he could
ship none His land was frozen and covered
with foot of snow.
He knows his business and is filing these
orders as rapidly as he can in safety.
There is plenty of time left for them to be
planted in any southern state and have as
good growth as if they were planted today.
We want to hear from all who have failed
to get the papers they ordered; we want to
hear from all who fail to receive everything
promised them.
But do not be unreasonable. Allow us
little time. Then when reasonable length
of time has passed, let us know what the
trouble is, if any.
We want only satisfied patrons Our motto
is, in any difference of opinion, "The subscrib-
er is always right"
