"Oh, that's it, is it?" said Sam

And yet the temptation, you see, Mr.

"Ah, to be sure" said Sam.

But it's always the way" said Mr.
John Smauker; 'ff your destiny lead

Precisely what my uncle said, Yer

Sam, land very right the old gen1m'r
was, for he drank hisself TO death III
somethin' less than a quarter"
Mr.. John Smauker looked deeply in
dignant at any parallel being drawn
between himself and the deceased
gentleman in question; but as Sans
face was in the most immovable state
of calmness, he thought better Of 1t, and
looked a1able again.
Perhaps we had better be walking y
said Mr.. Smauker, consulting copper
timepiece which dwelt at the bottom OF
a deep watch pocket, and was raised to
the surface by means of q black string
with a copper key at the other end.
"P'raps he had" replied Sam. "or
they'll overdo the swarry, and that'll
Spite it,"
Here, to the great horror of Mr.. John
Smauker, Sam Weller began to whistle
II beg your pardon, Mr.. Weller" said
Mr.. John Smauker, agonized at the ex-
ceedingly ungenteel sound, will you
take my arm?"
"Thankee, you're very good, but ]
won't deprive you OF it," replied Sam
I've rayther a way O. putin my hands
in my pockets, If it's all the same to

action to the word, and whistled far
louder than before.

parently much relieved as they turned
down a side street; I'VE shall soon be
there"
Shall we?" said Sam, quite unmoved
by the announcement of his close vicin-
ity to the select footmen OF Bath.
Yes" said Mr.. John Smauker. Don't
be alarmed, Mr.. Weller"
"Oh, no." said Sam.
You'll see some very handsome Ilni-

Sam.

Washington History
~ DONALD a. CRAIG.

September Is, iSBI.--Jaines @. Ber-
ret, who was arrested when he refused
to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, has sent IN his resigna-
ton rs mayor OF washington from Fort
Lafayette, N. Y, where he is confined.
The mayors resignation has been re.
ceived by william T. Dove, president
Of the Board Of Aldermen. The matter
has been referred to Joseph II. Bradley,
corporation attorney, for his advice as
to what action will be necessary on the
part of the city corporation.
Well Informed persons In Washing
ton said today that the recent arrests
Of leading secessionists in Maryland de-
feated e carefully prepared plan for
active cooperation OF, this side of the
Potomac River with an attempt to cross
the river in force, which was to have
been made this week by Gen. Johnston's
Confederate Army.
Nearly all of the leading men who
have been actively cooperating with the
secessionists were among those arrested
in Maryland. This element is said to
have had a majority Of the State Legis-
lature, which was getting ready to vote
for secession, despite the fiat OF the
people, Is expressed In the late elec-
ton.
The passing Of an act of secession by
the Maryland Legislature was 10 nave
been the signal for rising of the seces-
sionists in Baltimore and the southern
part of the State, which was to have
been followed at once by the proposed
movement of Johnston's army across
the Potomac River near washington.
Since the arrests in Maryland 1t is
understood that Gen. Johnston has
abandoned the experiment Of crossing
the Potomac, because he does not think
such a movement would be successful
without aid on this side.
There was diminishing at several
points on the Virginia side of the river
near Washington today. The pickets of
the 18th New York Regiment had a
brisk set-to between l and o'clock
this morning with some South Carolina
cavalrymen at the junction Of the
Mount Vernon and Accotink roads.
None Of the Union troops was injured.
Two Confederates were wounded and
carried of.
The steamer Seymour arrived at the
navy yard this morning from Phila-
delphia with Government stores. Part
or her cargo consisted Of powder, which
was stored in the magazine here. She
reports all quiet on the Potomac.

Of your family who manifest an interest
in where they shall live.
1t will save many mother several
thousand steps If the family can agree
on a few places, and obviate the need
of her inspecting SO many others of an
unacceptable sort.
Having found the place, the question
of rent will naturally arise.
There are two courses to pursue. II
some of your family are gainfully occu-
pied, they may be told what part Of the
rent their father will assume. It is up
to them to make up whatever balance
is required for the home of their choice
II they are unable or unwilling to
contribute their prorated shares, they
must accept what YOU can afford with
the best grace possible. Having made
their choice of living quarters, 1t is only
fair they be required to contribute their
share Of the cost.
OF course, much time and energy
may be saved from the outset If it Is
understood at once how much of your
husbands income will be devoted to
rent, so that the older children may
then know to what extent they can &c
in finding living accommodations to
their liking.
It is certainly inadvisable for any
mother to assume q burdensome rent
because of manageable daughters OF
for the sake Of appearances" Often
the manageable daughters are wed
early in lease time, and sometimes be-
fore the termination Of the lease one
has emergency needs that make one
quite oblivious to appearances"
Children should be required to pay
for their preferences, and to learn that
one may sometimes have her cake at the
cost of doing without her bread and
butter. Pay the rent that you can
afford, and only assume q higher rent
II and when your children make up the
difference in price between what you
can afford and what they demand.

dress, for he always prints I know

thing now, where this here letter car
ha' come from"
AS Sam said this, he did what a
great many people do when they are
uncertain about the writer Of a note
looked at the seal, and then at the
front, and then at the back. and then
at the sides, and then at the super
Scription; and, as last resource,
thought perhaps he might as well look
at the inside, and try to find out from
that.

Sam, as he unfolded it, land sealed
in bronze wax with the top of a door

grave face, Mr.. Weller slowly read as
follows:
"A select company of the Bath foot
men presents their compliments to Mr..
Weller, and requests the pleasure of
his company this evening, to friendly
swarry (soiree, or evening party, con-
sisting of boiled leg of mutton with
the usual trimmings. The swarry to
be on the table at half past o'clock
punctually."
This was inclosed in another note,
which ran thus:
"Mr. John Smauker, the gentleman
who had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Weller at the house Of their mutual
acquaintance, Mr.. Bantam, a few days
since, begs to inclose Mr.. Weller the
herewith invitation. If Mr.. Weller will
call on Mr.. John Smauker at o'clock,
Mr.. John Smauker will have the
pleasure of introducing Mr.. Weller.

Sam Weller issued forth little be-
fore the appointed time, and strolled
leisurely toward Queen Square. which
he no sooner gained than he had the
satisfaction of beholding Mr.. John
Smauker leaning his powdered head
against lamp post at short distance
off, smoking a cigar through an amber
tube.
How do you do, Mr.. Weller?" said
Mr.. John Smauker, raising hts hat
gracefully with one hand, while he
gently waved the other in q condescend-
ing manner. How do you do, sir?"

piled Sam. How do you find your
self, my dear fellow?"

"Ah, you've been a workin' too hard"

One mother says:
do not like to carry bib with me
when Jimmy and are invited out To
luncheon or when we run around the
corner to the restaurant, as we do some
times, but used to have quite time
in keeping a napkin around his neck
Quite often the napkin would not be
large enough to tie around his neck
and then there was the bother OF hunt
ing up a pin to fasten 1t with. One
day friend of mine tipped me OF to
the method she had used when her
children were small, and it has proved
a boon to me ever since. She simply
tied large knot in one corner Of the
napkin and stuck this knot in the neck
of the dress or suit, and it stayed UP
and answered the purpose Of bib.

Those Unlikable People.
OCopyright, 1897

Text: BE patient toward ALL
TheSs. STA. Examine yourselves.
2 Cor. 1875.
There are some people who make
themselves unlikable. There are the
people who go about advertising their
ailments. If they have had the
toothache within the last month, they
are bound to tell you about it.. They
talk about their aches and pains, and
make you feel that your health and
gladneSs are a positive affront to them.
There are the loud people. Put one
of this kind in any company and he
will be the lustiest and loudest talker
In the group. When he gets into full
blast the rest are all subdued into mute
silence.
There are the people who know 1t all.
They know all you know. and more
besides. You can never venture any
information but what they knew 1t
already.
There are the grand people. They
came from q grand ancestry. They
have grand kinfolks. All their as
sociates are grand. They aftect the
you are nobody.
There are the people who fawh and
gush. You meet them and they almost
extinguish you with their gushing
f1attery. They assume toward you an
attitude Of difference, and profess great
fondness for you. but you know they
are only fawning.
You have doubtless met all these
people in 1.-THE Autocrat at the Break
fast Table" And you are continually
meeting them in actual life. Do not let
their annoying traits and manners vex
you overmuch. Do not be too hard on
them. BE patient toward all" Be-
sides, examine yourselves" You may
have some unlikable qualities and ways
OF your own. Remember this before
you get too much out of sorts and judge
too harshly-those unlikable people.

NEW FOREST LAW CUTS
FARM WOODLOT TAXES

Increasing interest in the growing
of timber on land that is not profit
able for agricultural use is indicated
by the many inquiries relative to the
auxiliary forest law that are being
received by Parker o. Anderson, ex-
tension forester, University Farm, St.
Paul. The auxiliary forest law,
passed by the Minnesota legislature
in 1929 and amended in 1929, provides
that under certain conditions farm
woodlots may designated as auxiliary
forests and made exempt from all
taxes except for an annual levy of
five cents per acre and yield tax of
10 percent of the value of the timber
crop grown.
Farmers wishing to take advantage
of the provisions of the auxiliary
forest law are required to enter a
contract with the state department of
forestry, setting aside an area from
20 to 40 acres to be used for timber
growing and must agree to have at
least 400 well established trees per
acre growing on this tract at the end
of 10 years. The period of time that
the land shall be in an auxiliary for
est is not to exceed SO years although
it is renewable for another term of
the same duration.
Before establishing an auxiliary
forest, the owner must file an appli-
cation with the county auditor, giving
a description of the land and a state
ment regarding it's suitability for the
production of timber, as well as an
estimate Of the kind and amount of
timber already on the land. Follow
ing approval by the county board of
commissioners, the application will
be forwarded to the state commits
sioner of forestry, who will examine
the land describe terms and condi.
tions for growing the timber and
specify the kind and number of seed
or seedlings to be used. All taxes
must be paid before the contract is
issued.
