the Canadian Rockies, one OF
the grandest mountain ranges
on the North American Cont
nent, it behooves the traveller
to breakfast early, lest he miss
the splendor Of the newborn
day, midst snow-capped PIN
nacles.
On this trip, my travelling COM
panion, whom I met for the first
time at a table spread with a light
repast of orange juice, British Co
lunbia cantaloupe, coffee and toast,
proved to be a psychologist OF the
first class, and also an industriallst
familiar with all phases Of employ
ment. His company carried pay

whom were experts and craftsmen.

O'Clock sharp. If he hesitates Or
suggests a later hour, I instantly
approve, and defer to his every
whim when he arrives. But nine
times out of ten, regardless of what
ever Endorsements he may have
from others, the barometer, so far
as he is concerned, has begun per-
ceptibly to fall.
"Any young man looking for job,
who isn't ready for food at eight
o'clock belongs to the class that
retires too late the night before.
However, I do not take as an in
dication of unfitness any mans dis
inclination to break his fast. If he
consumes a good breakfast, as
young men should, it is mitigating
circumstance in his favor, but if
he has no appetite, no capacity for
starting the day with proper nour-
ishrnent, he isn't pegged with me

my own part, from any adverse

Thinking With Their Teeth.
'Luncheon! Well, that's an en-
tirely different proposition in this
age when metabolism, diet and the
quest of proper Galleries are having
widespread fling. Only, / am Of

food at the noon hour have a tend

Cured to you that am dictatorial.
On the contrary, I have never, at

my observational powers when ne

Dinner Is Supreme Trial.
| 'tNow in the matter of dinner or
supper, whichever you prefer to call
the third phase, I have become
somewhat elastic in my analysis Of
| character as it develops at the din
ner table. Here one must take stock
| of ceremony. We should come to
it with high hope that limited
indulgence is essential to enjoyment.
I don't care to dine with a man
who evades the opportunity for en-
| ioyment that is or should be a
prime factor at the dinner table,
whether it be set for two or twenty.
Always it should be an intellec tual,
physical and spiritual ceremony,
free from discords; something de-
signed to elate and not to exhaust.
Here, geniality, expanding in
proper ratio with the understanding
Of those present, should reach it's
maximum. There is no better place
to appraise strangers capabilities
than at the dinner table; no richer
atmosphere in which to let him in

final test Of the three culinary ex-
| periments that it pleases me to
make is at dinner, to which on oc-
casions I have asked outsiders the
better to observe the effect that
strangers have upon the man with
whom I expect to have daily asso-

Bonus Answered

| $7S6.50. If interest is deducted,
how much would I draw, approx
mately? E.w.T.
Answer-It is impossible to
compute the amount due you be-
cause the interest deducted would
depend upon the time you made
your loan, which you have not
mentioned. However, interest
owing but not paid for the period
between the date of the loan and
October l, 1881, will be deducted.
Interest owing but not paid for

at any time will not be refunded.

AnSwer-Immediately upon re-
ceipt Of your bonds you may pre-
sent them for certification at the
City Post Office or other stations

Bonus Is Expected
To Cause Boom
IND. g. Trade

Many Washington merchants
preparing for the bonus rush"
on June II and thereafter are
basing their advertising budgets
upon the fact that a large
amount Of money will be made
available to veterans in Maryland
and Virginia as well as the Dis
trict.
Although the greatest sum to
be distributed in this section will
60 to ex,Service men residing in
Washington, more than 81, 200, 900
will be represented in the baby
bonds" assignable to veterans IN
Montgomery and Prince Georges
county, Maryland, and Arlington
county, Virginia.
The Montgomery veterans will
receive a total of approximately
$845, 408, of which 80 per cent is
expected to be utilized in paying
old bills and debts and most
Of the remainder in retail trade.
Similar expenditures are ex-
pected from Prince Georges county
bonus holders, who will obtain
about 81, 032, 900, and those in Ar
lington county, who will get about
05,532.
The total amount represented in
washington and vicinity is thus
approximately $18,562,148, or well
over z per cent Of the annual re-
tail sales in the District.
Since most Of the cash ear
marked for automobiles, rugs, re-
frigerators and the like will be
expended within a reasonable
length of time after June IL
when actual money first becomes
available to the veteranS-the
final payment Of the bonus Is ex.
pected to create q business boom

BY MRS. DAYTON DEAN
(COpyriEht, 1885. by the Detroit Times
and International News service)
DETROIT, June 8 Il. N. So
I have been in hiding ever since
I began telling my story.
I am afraid. But most Of all ]
am afraid for my two girls. They
are hidden, and I hope they are
safe.
AS for myself, I must throw
myself on the protection Of the
grand jury. I believe that thou
sands Of people in this State want
to know what was really going on
In the Black Legion.
BY the end of 1884 Dayton had
been denoted. He was stripped
OF his power. The Black Legion
whipped him, dashed him is
times.
Loyal Despite Whipping
He was still loyal. Even after
they whipped him and disgraced
him publicly in their meeting.
When left year ago I said:
Dayton Dean, sOmeday you'll
rue the day you ever heard Of
the Black Legion. They'll land
you in Jail . murderer"
He told me I didn't know what
I was talking about, and if I'd
kept my mouth shut he wouldn't
have been whipped. He boasted:
But I'll get my rank back"
It was just before Christmas
of 1884 that Dayton and I had
our trouble. I had lived with him
nine years. He was the only
father my two children had ever
known. Then one day out Of a
clear sky my older daughter, then
IL years old, complained to me
about Dayton: I wouldn't believe
it. The Black Legion heard about
it and a member told me:
"Wen take care Of Dayton
In our own way"
A few nights later Dayton was
out until 5 in the morning. He
was dead-white when he came
home. That day from another
member I heard he had been
whipped, that his power was taken
away, and that the Black Legion
was furious at him. I was scared
to death. But I stayed on.
Then in May, 1885, he came
home one night furious. He said
was telling all over town he'd
got whipped. He said he'd paid
for what he had done. He
threatened:
IF you don't keep your mouth
shut Ill have them take you
out on a Strengthening up
party! 1t would do you good!
II you'd get what / got you'd
remember it."
He said he'd remember to his
dying day the lashes on his back.
Not Surprised

nights. Finally, I left him. I saw

the street and again when he

BATTING EYE; {.
ALBURY In MIAMI
OTHER LOCAL BOYS NOW
PLAYING WITH OTHER DIA-
MONDBALL OR BASEBALL
TEAMS IN STATE

The latest batting averages re-
leased by the Florida State
League show that William Gates,
the pride of baseball and dia-
mondball fans of this city, is los
ing his batting eye.
Gates, who at one time was at
the top of the regular batters, has
now dropped to a .295 average.
The manager of the Sanford
club, the team with which Gates
plays third base, has tried him
out in third, fourth and fifth bat
ting positions in the lineup but
he just can't seem to snap out of
the sumlp he is in at present.
Local fans hope he will wind
up the season batting close to or
over the charmed 800 average.
Esmond Albury left for Miami
recently to join the PrOtectu nine
in the Miami City League. There
are now three Conchs on that
club-Baker, Gonzalez and AL
bury. 1t is predicted that "Tar-
zan", as Albury is familiar known
in Key West, will be one of the
stars on this fast-moving team.
Wednesday night at West Palm
Beach three other local boys play
ed in diamondball game be-
! tween Hollywood and West Palm
; Beach mines. The Conchs are at
tached to the Hollywood club and
they are: Ubieta, shortstop; Acos-

All played a very good game.
Pena put out % and assisted in
two others, committing one er-

seven assists, making one error;
he hit two safely. Miami papers
praise the work being done by
