The annual school meeting of District No. 1, Mason and Vevay,. held at the central building Monday evening, was a harmonious gathering in every way.

The report of the secretary ot the l>oard was a pleasing one, financially and otherwise, showing the district to be all out of debt, the last bond issued for the building ot the new school house having been paid.

The/schooi board, in their estimate of expenses for the coming year, asked that $9,000 be raised by direct tax. This is $2,000 less than raised last year.

The report was accepted and adopted unanimously. The school ranks high in educational circles, and is upon the university list, whereby Its graduates enter college without examination.

It was stated by the board that perhaps the school could be conducted the coming year with one teacher les.s than last year. It was the opinion ot all present that this should not be "attempted If in any way it might impair the high standing now enjoyed.

The matter ot a proper athletic field was discussed at some length, and a resolution was adopted, authorizing the board to purchase and improve a suitable field tor athletics.

The term of H. B. Longyear, as a member of the board, having expired, the meeting proceeded to the election ot his successor.—

In addition to the nomination ot Mr. Longyear to succed himself, the names of Mrs. C. C. Casterlin and Mrs. V Lottie Every were presented. The vote was as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 31; of which H. B. Longyear received 24, Mrs. C. C. Casterlin 4, scattering 3.

No further business appearing, the meeting adjourned.

For some time the common council has been considering the question of securing plans tor a sewerage system for the city. It was not the intention ot establishing a complete system at once, but with suitable plans, all work done could be so constructed so as to become a part of the system when it Is was finally Installed.

The question ot a proper sewerage system Is soon to confront us and It is thought good policy to prepare for It as best we can. The cost of such plans win be about $600. The expense of a sewerage system is estimated all the way from $25,000 to $35,000,

As the question is discussed, it appears that many citizens are In favor of at once, or In the near future, submitting to the voters the proposition ot Installing.a complete system of sewerage.

All citizens are, or ought to be. Interested la this matter. Think about It, and give your opinions to the aldermen.

The taking of evidence in tlie case of Merle Bartlett vs, Theo. Bender was completed in tiie circuit court In Mason last week Wodneaday. Judge Collingwood presided and announced that he would render.a decision soon.

Tbe case is one that originated in Onondaga township, and in which the people ot that vicinity are much interested. This is a bill to restore a lost deed, the plaintiff cUiimlng that the late William Vorce, whose granddaughter she is, had deeded forty acres ot land to her. The deed afterward came up missing. It seems that Theo. Bender, the del'innliait, and another lieir of the deceased, William Vorce, liad undertaken to take care of tlie man, who was in poor health, and in return was to have had his property; in fact a farm of considerable size was deeded to him. Some time after this, trouble arose between himself and Vorce, and Bender left, leaving the old man to care for himself. It was then that he persuaded the granddaughter. Merle Bartiett, to come and care for him, under promise of a deed of his remaining forty acres. This deed, according to testimony, was drawn up and signed by Fome-roy Van Riper, an Onondaga notary. It was also, according to testimony, left in his possession. After the the death of Vorce, some one repre-resenting himself as acting for Merle Bartiett, appeared at Van Rlper's and under those pretenses managed to secure the deed, which has never been seen since.

IN0HAM COUNTY NEWS, JULY 16, 1914

Lewis Neller, representative in the state legislature from the first dis-Irlci. of Ingham county, announces that he ^vill not be a candidate for ve-election. He was elected as a progressive.

The examinations for postmasters, injon to be conducted for all offices at which the annual -'compensation is ?]80 or more, is but a democratic way of getting around the civil service laws. In !)9 out of 100 cases the oJllce will go to a democrat. This Is all right, but why quibble about It, and try to cover the transaction with a fake examination? The democrats were the first to urge civil service and so-called primary election reforms, and they are the first to attempt the annulment of its provisions,

8CHOOL YEAR CLOSES.

PointK for'CIOHing the. FinanciKl Re-liortK for the Year.

Washington, July C—Official figures of recent elections, primaries and registrations in different parts of the.country reveal sweeping Republican gains and corresponding Democratic and Progressive losses. A careful analysis of these figures,.just completed shows unmistakably the trend of political sentiment from Maine to California. The swing back to Republican victory Is on. The figures show that the condition that resulted In the election of Wilson is wiped out and that the readjustment has been favorable to the Republican Party in every Instance, The total vote in primaries and Congressional elections was, in most cases, less than that in the Presidential election two years ago, but even In these Instances the Republicans gained. In the Seventh District of New Jersey, the total vote in the Congressional election fell away forty per cent, yet the IJepublican gain was 98 per cent over .1912. In the Second Iowa District, the decrease In the total vote, compared with 1912, was 38 per cent, yet the Republican gain was 27 per cent. In the Senatorial pri-inai7 In Pennsylvania, the total vote was forty-nine per cent less than the total vote in the Presidential election two years ago, but the Republican eain was 21 per cent. One of the most significant of the returns is that of the Minnesota election for Governor, in which the Republican gain was 203 per cent, in spite of 'uV fact that the tot J.. ;;a^Vas 27 per cent less^'âiTthe vote for President ln;*52'.

The annual meeting of all school districts except where otherwise provided is held on the second Monday of July and the school year begins on that date. It is very necessary that every school board meet before the annual meeting and audit the accounts for the year, balance the books and make the financial report. At this preliminary meeting the director and the moderator should check over the treasurer's accounts; the treasurer and the moderator should In like manner check over the director's accounts; the money on hand should actually be counted. It is very essential that all orders be drawn for all expenses up to the end of the school year; that these orders be presented to the treasurer and p»ld either in money or by checks; that where orders are paid by checks the board take these checks very carefully into the account of their settlement. These orders that have been given out may be outstanding at the time of this settlement. In other cases the treasurer pays orders by checks and depends upon thebank for his knowledge of the money on hand. There may be outstanding checks that have not been presented to the bank for payment. It Is often found that the whole trouble in balancing the books lies in these outstanding orders or outstanding checks at the time of settlement. Such situations cannot arise if boards are careful to take Into account all outstanding orders and checks.

Another situation that boards should guard against very carefully is this: occasionally the board will hold the meeting for settlement one or two weeks before the annual meeting and the books will be audited at this meeting. It will then be found that more money is needed to complete the year. Money is borrowed. Other orders are paid and the director juakes his report accordingly. In such a case the treasurer's report and the director's report cannot agree, nor can matters be satisfactorily adjusted later. A second meeting should be called and the books audited a second time. It is the duty of both the treasurer and the director of the school district to keep hooks. It Is also the duty of every director or secretary of a school hoard to keep the minutes of all special and regular district meetings and of all board meetings. These minutes should be properly approved and properly signed.

Congressman Fred S. Jackson, Embodiment of ''Kansas Spirit''

Rich Inmate Gone Day and Half Before Sheriff Knows It.

There is no question that this will be a republican year. It is in the air. Men will vote the republican llcket this fall as sure as election day comes. The democratic administration has again demonstrated -its ability to destroy business and has failed to better the condition of anyone on this side of the ocean. If anyone has been benefitted, it is the people across the seas who are given tree access to our, markets, while Americans pay the taxes to maintain the markets for them. The tariff law is directly against the Interests of Americans. The repeal of free tolls to American ships through the Panama canal will cost the American consumer a dollar and a quarter extra for every ton of freight moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. The continued badgering of business by the so>called anti-trust bills pending, is costing our manufacturers and laborers immense sums dally. And It there are any good features In.the currency law passed, thisy are the direct result of work of Senator Aldrlch and the monetary commission under a republican administration; President Wilson's foreign policy, especially our relation with Mexico, has been as Impotent for good as the legislation a servile congress has passed at bis_ behest. When the'voters go to; bat next November, they will retire the democratic majority in the house and the president will be curbed so he can do no moire harm to the country . until they can retire him two years later. —Clinton Republican. •:

Owners of peach orchards where this disease prevails, consider It to be by all means the most dreaded of all peach diseases. Not only does it exceed all other troubles in its contagious nature, but owing to the fact that it is diflicult to detect in its early stages, the disease often gains great headway and it is not uncommon to have entire orchards wiped out by It within two or three years after it first appears.

Although the disease has been known for twenty years, nothing has been learned regarding its nature or life history, No one knows when or how the disease spreads. It is, however of a highly contagious nature, yet careful experiments have shown that if infected trees are promptly removed the loss can be greatly reduced. While there are various distinguishing characteristics, they are difficult to describe and often escape tbe notice of the observer until his attention has been called to them. As the name indicates, the fruit upon infected trees does not reach full size; it develops-until it is about as large as a good sized peach pit, after which little growth is made. In this respect it differs from peach yellows, in which the diseased fruits are not only above normal size biit they enlarge and.ripen prematurely. The fruit on trees attacked by little peach does not show thecbaracteris-tlc red spots upon the skin, nor is the flesh streaked as in the case of^peach yellows. In fact, the fruit does not differ from that upon healthy .trees, except that isTmuch smaller in size. The leaves on infected trees are of about the uBual\width:but are much shorter, and" witfi\rather( blunt tips. While in healthy leaves the two sides of the blade are more-or less folded together, in the case of little .peach the leaves are flat and have the tips bent backward. ' The twigs are in no way! slender and spindling, as in the case of peach yellows, but the growth Is generally \short which brings, the leaves closer together and thus gives them a tufted : appearance. .Short, stût and unbrancbed ': shoots, or. spurs, are often found along the larger branches | and, 'as these. bear, nunierpiis leaves, in sbme cases thiey' almiost (hide the branches. The leaves upon.the,infected trees.are generally mottied with yellow.. / : , ; . ; , ; " ; : ; ' When tirees are uncared;for, 'and especially if they ;are'.growing in a' very:wet or!in',.a dry^sdil, or.if;; the

Til the olectiors linrl patriiuH uf 'sclioul dlHtrtct No, 1, township of Veviiy ii.id ciliy (if Manon, county of [naliam imd .ibittuuf MIclilfjau: Your board of ediicaMon of siiid

auliool dl.siriut, Hiibtnlt tlm followiotf aa t.imtr annirki report of the condition of our school iintr iin iicoount of the receipts and di»bur«eiuenliH for the past year, towetliur with the recom-mendittlou UH to the iimount of motiey aecessiiry to maintain ouPHchooI for the comlti« year.

T h e year just passed lia.4 bean a prosperous one in the history of our school, while we receive about the same amount of forei|{n tuition as lust year, we i^raduated lUe largest class tills year that ever completed the course of study at our liichsohool, twenty elf^ht (2H) In number—sixteen (lO)Kirlsand twelve (12) hoys—and we e.stimate tliat as luriju a per cent will attend higher In.stltutions of learn I ui; tills fall as other ttraduates In former years. Also If nothioii; unusual happens we will have larizu classes of seniors and liiulors In line for another scli'iol year.

We nr,»duated a class of elKliteen (18) from our Normal department this year, Hrfventeen (17) youoK ladies and one (I) youtii; man, most all of whom as we understand have secured schools In the rural part of the county for the ciiminii year and accordinii to our County School Comraissioner's report, tlie standard of the rural schools of this county has been materially raised by reason of the special traintou received by these younn teachers in this department,

Wo_think this is the (Irst report submitted to our patrons la some t ime where we are able to nay, to the best of our knowledae, "This school district owes no one a dollar." The last of the bonded indebtedness .for our new school buildiuK was paid this year and a special effort has been made to sett le any l i t t le local indebtedness that we may have had.

There seems to have been some sent iment expressed among some of our patrons to the etiect that our school tax has been a growtni; burden on the tax payer from year to year when our student body is but l i t t le or no larger than a number ot years aso, it not only requires more instructors to teach the same number of pupils today but we are also compelled to pay the teacher a larger wa^c than years aito and there seems to be a urowioR demand for modern appliances and conveniences that we cannot do without. I t is the same In our own homes as in our school and all public alTatrs. N o t many years age wo paid nulblnif for certain laboratory supplies, water »nd electric lights, telephones and other things we could mention and today they are i nd ispenaable bu t cost money.

We also believe there is a growing demand and not many years hence we must adopt courses In manual training, domestic-scieaco and agriculture in our school as others no larger than the Mason school have put In these subjects and they are simply "coming our way", The sent iment expressed in favor of these courses la quite true, In that, "Lt lets.a student dud himself." ' •

We believe we are justified in saying that pur sctiopl baa made a good record in the year just passed, that we are in a healthy condition at present and with our present corps of teachers and the prospective at tendance In all grades, we expect the coming year to be a prosperoua one.

I t was necoasary to make some changes in our teacherai for the com-; tag year, there: being several vacancies, all of which have been filled as shown by the following l l s t w i t b the ir poaitioQ and salaries.

We might say that our County Normal will, run a ten months term aa-other:year) i n s t e a d o t aloe months as heretofore.- ' ,,, i ; JobQ B.

Conclusive evidence that, the sugar beet crop of Michigan this year will fiill consideriibly short of the 1913 output was shown today when a comparison of this year's acreage was made with, the acreage one year ago.

Statistics compiled by Secretary of State Martindale show that the acreage of sugar beets in Michigan one year ago was 78,781, while thi.s year the total acreage has dwindled to 6!),00)7, a decrease of 9,714.

It is said that the new tariff bill which reduces the tariff on sufef r and eventually places it on the free list is responsible for this condition and it is said that the. acreage next year will .be considerable smaller, owing to the fact that the farmers will receive • a reduced price for their beets.

Horses which have been training at Detroit this year have been doing some fast miles, so that when race week comes, if the weather is of the right sort, there Is every reason to expect the speed averages ot the Blue Ribbon to be lowered In the hard fought contests bound to occur in the rich stakes and purses which make up the program ot twenty races for the five afternoons.

Something new is an experiment. Must be proved to be as represent

St., Mason, Mich., says; "I had pains across my back and head, I had to get up several times during the night to pass the kidney secretions. I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they relieved me of the trouble. I am glad to recommend them to any sufferer of kidney complaint."

BLUE KUIBON RACES.

When the trotters and pacers reach the fast Detroit track where the annual blue ribbon meeting is to be held, July 27 to 31, It Is expected that they will bo In better shape to go fast and carry their speed than ever in the past. The horses which are racing on the half mile tracks have been going taster than in other years at the same period and the big stables at the popular training camps are Indulging In some merry miles.

There are a greater number ot speedy trotters in the M. & M. this year and the same applies to the pacers In the C. of C. stake, this pair being the ruling classics of the light harness turf and the feature of the annual speed carnival given by the Detroit Drtvlag Club. On top ot this Secretary Conner reports that very few horses, have been withdrawn from' the. five stakes to be raced at the Blue Hlbbon meeting, which means that the,fields will be of unusual size:

The Detroit track will be In shape for record breaking this year. The turns have ben rebuilt, the eaiid being carted away and clay substituted. Teams with harrows, floats and sprinkling/'wagons' work :,dayi,;and

Tu Whom It May Concern:. Be It known that on the 3rd day

of July, A, D, 1914, an application Was filed with County Drain. Commissioner ot the County of lugham,' praying for the cleaning out of a certain drain, which said drain la described in said application as follows:

That said drain needs cleaning out from the outlet thereof as now established, upstream to the east line ot the NW Vi ot the SW Vt of the NW Vi of Sec. 10 of T2N R2W. That said drain is an established county drain and is duly recorded In Liber 3, page 355, ot the drain records of Ingham County, That said drain Is constructed as an open drainage channel from Station 0 thereof upstream to Station 7, and from Station 7 to Station 12 it is constructed as a tile drain of 18 inch sewer pipe. From Station 12 throughout the remainder ot the course thereof it Is constructed as an open drainage channel. Vour petitioners ask you to clean out the open portion thereof to the original grade and to remove the tile from the drain and construct an open drain in the place thereof, and that it Is necessary that said drain be cleaned out for the reason that the tile in said drain have become Qlied up and do not carry off the waters from above in a practical manner, and that the open portion ot the drain has become Qited up from natural causes; a certifled copy ot which is now tile in my office, traversing the Township of Aurellus.

Be it further known that on the 31st day of Jiil.v, A. I>. 1014, a meeting of the Township Board of the Township of Aurellus, will be held at the farm residence of M. J. Hilton on Sec. 10,"in the township of Aurellus, at 7 o'clock in the evening for the purpose ot determining whether the said proposed drain is necessary and conducive to the public health, convenience and welfare; that at such meeting all persons owning lands liable to assessments for benefits, or whose lands wl l lbe crossed by the said drain, may appear tor or against said drain proceedings.

Given under my hand this 13th day ot July, A. D. 1914.

ulahcd mirror behind where he ant. It rcUecteil the large portrait of the late Judge Benley banging on the nppoalte wall, and—by the gods—I thought I tinvv it move, settle back Into position: 1 was upon ni; feet instantly, swinging aside Into n better position for de-fcnae. Before Coombs could reali/.e what bad occurriKl I had the gun muz-isle at the side of his bead.

"Now answer," I commanded sbarp-jly. "Whose orders put you here?"

Be choked, shrinking back helpless In the cbalr.

"Yon won't always have the drop on I mo."

"Weil, 1 have now. Speak up. Who JlH the man?"

"riillip Henley," he whispered, BO low 1 scarcely caught the name. ! "What!"

"Waal, I told yer," he growled re-weutfully. "Yer kiu believe er not, Just na you please, but so help me that's the truth. I reckon I know."

As 1 stared at him, half believing, half incredulous, I became consciouB' that she stood in the hall doorway. Coombs lifted blH head, glad of any respite, and I glanced aside also.'drop-plng the pistol burk Into my coat pocket j "Tou—you were quarreUngrf" ibe nMkcd, coming Into the room.

"I do not think 1 Rball ever be entirely assuRHl as to that until I know more of our exact situation." 1 replied, speaking cnutiousfy. "We may have l)een seen coming here, and those weeds would easily conceal an eavesdropper. The truth Is. I have galntnl very lillle information of value and am as mystified as ever. If that fellow told the truth it IN beyond my understanding. I think he lied and yet cannot be sure. He clalaiN to lie working under the orders of Philip Henley."

"What! lmrioMsil)le!" "80 I felt, and consequently hesitat

ed to tell you, but now that 1 have been conipellwl to <lo so, I will explain In full. Me said tljls under a menace, a condition whii'h often Inspires men to speak the truth. I can scarcely Imagine his making up such a story,

' for be IN a dull WIMIHI fellow, and even before he had threatenwl to teat your dainiH to he Henley's wife."

"You toUI lilm, then'/" "ISverytblng. except the original

cause of our being here. I determined this morning to tight in the open, under my own name. That Is the right way, is it not?"

"Yes, I think so," and she lifted her eyes to mine. "I like you better for that"

"1 think 1 like myself better also." I Bald with a laugh. "I confess 1 didn't cure much nt lirst. But after what you said the night of our arrival I began to view the thing in a new light and to despise my part In It Yet even then I felt bound to carry out my agreement It was only when you told me your Identity, that I felt free to decide otherwise. 1 want to serve you, and I want you to res|)ect me. Down in .vour heart you haven't really been assured that 1 was not one of that gang of consplrntorB. You came down here to watch me."

"No—no. I scarcely think I ever did doubt yon, only it was all very strange. Nothing seemed real."

"We are Itotb getting our beads above the mist now," 1 interrupted gently, "and deep as the mystery appears, when tiualiy solved It will likely prove a very sordid, commonplace affair. The main thing is for us to thoroughly understand and trust each other."

"1 trust you." And both her hands were Impulsively extended. "I have from the very tirst. I did not come liere to watch, but because I believed in you. Truly this wiis 'my motive rather than any thought of the property. I came hecause-hecau.se I knew you nmded me. I had an intuition that you were going into danger. Into some trap. It was not until tluit afternoon that I rcallKed clearly what this ail meant to me personally. 1 seemed to wake up as from a dream. Then I sat down In the rest room of one of those big departuient stores and thought it all out At tIrst I determined to tell you everything, but 1 d Id-did not know.you at all. I trusted you, I believed in you, l - l had to teat you. Gordon Craig."

"My only wonder i« that you retained any confldence."

I'Ob, but I did;" she Insisted warmly.' "that alouo: biûgbt me bere I came back to you thatûigbt because^ beoauNe I lieiieved yon. to, be a gentle-.

spoken, although I scarrely knew what strength comt)lned to win the fiWift Mtruggle. Impulse, iiuide with sudden revelation of love, swept me perilously near to outburst yet reason hold nuniclenfly firm to restrain the flood of passion I knew I must rt^frain; 1 read It in the calm depths of those syes fronting me In rranli friendship. A word, a single, mad, ill considered word would sever the bond between OS as though cleft by n sword. With any oilier I might have dared all. but not with her. She trusted me-yea! tlut us a gentleman. Should 1 fail In

that test of her faith 1 could never again hope to regain my place In hai esteem.

"Let's not talk of ourselves." I said, releasing her bands, "but of what we must face liere. I have told you that Coombs claims to lie working under the orders of your husband, is that possible?"

"1 cannot conceive clearly bow it could be, and yet he might have received notJce of his father's death in time to assume control of the estate by telegrapli or even by letter."

"I hardly think Coombs bns been here so short a time."

"fie might have l>een the old overseer, however, and r«'lalm)d."

"True. Yet bow could Philip Henley know that be hud inherited the property?"

She thought a moment seriously, a little crease in tiie center of her fore-bead.

"Of course I can only guess," she ha/.nrded at length, "but it would seem likely he was notiticd of his father's death by one of the administratorB and doubtless told at the same time of his Inheritance. He was the only son, and there were no other near relatives. It would he only natural for him to retnin the old servants until be could come here and select others,"

"There Is only one fact which 0|> poses your theory," I acknowledged, "otherwise I would accept it as my own also. Coombs plainly threatened to confront you with Henley to test your claim to being bis wife."

"Even that would not he Impossible," she admitted reluctantly, "for he must have known of the judge's death even before—before I left. Only I do not believe it probable, as he was in no condition to travel and had very little money. Besides," her voice strengthening with conviction, "those men who sent you here, Neale and Vail, would never have ventured such n scheme had they been uncertain as to Philip Henley's belpiessness. 1 believe he is either in their ^control or else dead."

"Then Coombs lie<l." "Perhaps, although still another Bup-

position is possible. Some one else may claim to be the heir."

This was a new theory and one not BO unreoHonable lis it appeared at first thought Still it was BuWcicutly improbable, BO that I dismissed it without much conslderotion. She apparently read this in my face.

"It is all groping in the dark until we learn more," she went on slowly. "Hove you decided what you mean to do?"

"Only indefinitely. 1 want to make a careful exploration of ttie bouse and grounds by daylight This may reveal something of value. Then we will go into Cnrrollton before dark. I cannot consent to your remaining here another night after wiait has occurred. Besides, we should consult a lawyer— the best we can tind-and then proceed under his advice. Do you agree'/"

"Certainly; aiid how can I be of assistance'/"

"If you could go back to the house and keep Sallte busy in the kitchen fur an hour; hold her there at something BO as to give ine free range of~the house."

"With Salliel" She lifted her handH in aversion. "It doesn't seem us though I could stand that But.'' she added, rising resolutely to her feet, "I will if you wish It Of course I ought to do what little l e a n . Why, what is thia— a Beat ring?"

She Btuoped and picked; the article; up from the floor out of a litter of dead leaves and held It to the light be* tween her fingers. Aa Bbe gaiced ber cheeks whitened, and when.ber eyea again:uiei mine they evidenced fear.

" ih i i t that was Philip Henley's ring." she said gravely, "Family^helr-luoui; he uiwuyH wore i t He'inuBt be here."

"At least It wiuld seem that be has been. The seuf i s a peculiar one, not likely to be duplicated. But i ddiibt if he is here now. for he could have no reason for avoiding UB, unleas".-

"I know what you mean," she replied; as I hefiitate<l, "unless he intended to repudiate me, to refuse me recognition:" ""Is he that kind of a man?"

"No, not when sober. Under the influence of liquor he becomes a brute, capitble of any meunuess.'' . ; ,s '

heard of the man was fiivornble"!© his character. I felt profoundly convinced that whatever affection bis wife might hav»> once entertainwl for him had long ago vanished through neglect and abuse. My sympathleB were altogether with her, and I had already begun to dream of her as free. She bad come into contact with my life in such n way as to Impress me greatly We hud liciMi thrown together in strange fiiinillarity. Little by little I bad grown -to appreciate her beauty, not only of face, but also of Womanly r'hiiracter.

I dr<>aded the ri'iippenranee of Henley. XTould sbe'retiirn to liiin? ^Tonld she forgive tlie past? I could not be Ignorant of the fact that she liked nie, trusted me as a friend. But beyond this rather colorless certainty I possessed no assurance. She was not the kind ever to compromise with duty nor to pretend. No love for me, even If it had already begun to blossom in her secret heart, would make her disloyal to sacrtKi vows. 1 knew that iind de<>p down in my own con-BciousneHs lionored lier the more, even Willie 1 struggled against the Inevi-tJible. Yesterday I might have spoken the words of passion on my lips, but now they were sealed..

I felt the pistol in my pocket took it out and made sure It was In readiness, then advanced cautiously toward the house. The ball was empty and so was the front room. The latter a[)peared desolate and grim in its disorder and dirt. My thought centered on that picture of .lodge Henley banging against the further wall. I could never be satisfied until I learned absolutely what was concealed liebind that heavy gilde<l frame. There was mystery to this house, aiid perliaps here I liad already stumbled upon the secret. I opened tlie door leading to the rear, silently, and listene<l. There were voices talking nt a distance, two women, one a pleasant contralto, the other crackefl and high pitched. The lady was doing tier pa¥t; I must do mine^ I closed the door gently and stole over toward the picture.

A black haircloth sofa with broad mahogany arm offered two easy steps, enabling me to tip the heavy frame suincieiitiy so as to peer liebind. The one glance was sulUclent. Underneath was an opening in the wail much less in width than the picture, yet ample for the passage of a crouched body. The arm of the sofa made egress comparatively easy, while the frame of the picture, though appearing heavy and substantial, was In reality of light wood and presented no obstacle to an active man. Tlie passage was black, and 1 tbriist my bead and shoulders in, striving to discern something of Its nature. For possibly three, feet I could trace the floor, but lieyond that point it seemed to disappear into impenetrable darkness. This line of cliange was so distinct that I surmised at once it marked n descent to a lower level, either by ladder or stairs.

Feed me, water and care for me and when the day's work is done, provide me with shelter, a clean dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie down In comfort. Talk to me. Vour voice often means as much to me as the reins.

Pel me somet'mea, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins and do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick nie when I do not understand what you mean, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me and If I fall to do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness or feet. Examine my teeth when I do not eat. I may have an ulcerated tooth and that you know. Is very painful. Do not lie my head In an unnatural position or take away my beat defense against llles and mosquitoes by cutting off my tall. During the summer months spray my stall and manger with some fly disinfectant so that I can eat In comfort, and get full benefit of the teed you give me.

And finally, oh, my master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do thou, my master, lake my life In the kindest way.

The- District of Columbia, whence practically all the howl about "pork barrel" comes, has had vastly more than Its share In every omnibus public-building bill which has passed Congress during the last ten or twelve years. Let us examine the record and see just how the account stands.

The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, under the rules of the House, let It be understood, has no power to appropriate money to carry Into execution the provisions of any, measure that may come from that committee. The committee simply has the power and authority to submit to the House bills authorizing the construction of buildings at such places as may be named within the limits of cost specifically provided for each place respectively. It has been the custom of the committee for many years past to report to the House once la from two to three years what has come to be called an "omnibus publlc-bullding bill," covering the entire country, and providing one or more public buildings for each Congressional district at the places where the necessity appeared to be greatest. This "omnibus publtc-bulldlng bill" has frequently been contemptuously referred to as the "pork-barrel bill" by the press of the country, arid particularly has this been true of the newspapers here In Washington, Whenever a Washington newspaper has occasion to refer to the effort bein made by a Representative in Congress to secure an appropriation ot $50,000 for the erection of a post-office building in some thriving little city of his district, the aforesaid newspaper describes him as. "the pork-barrel statesman from Squash Center"; but let that same Representative rise on this floor and advocate the expenditure of several millions ot dollars for the construction of a marble palace in the city ot Washington in which to transact the public business, and, ye gods, what a transformation.

The long-haired, hungry, cadaverous-looking "pork-barrel statesman from Squash -Center" Immediately becomes a wise, /far-seeing, broad-minded and patriotic legislator. I have no doubt, j Mr. Chairman, that here and there during the past ten or twelve years a building has been authorized at a place' where conditions did hot justify such action, but r submit that such cases have been exceedingly rare and that, on the whole, the Congress has legislated wisely In the matter of the construction of public buildings.
