Why shouldn't th»7? That is thei wok. We wee glad to note last week that Xhos. Buohiel was able to walk up town afte being confined to his home fo seveal weeks. The fou weeks old babe of M. and Ms. Iwin Kennedy died Thusday moning last The funeal was held at the home Sat- uday foenoon. The Webbeville Index eached on desk this week, and it looks as though the business people appeciated the little newsy pape by the advetising that appeas in its columns. Hee*s to you. Anothe membe of Pinokney's Old Boys and Gils association is added to the list of those gone, Jonathan Eveitt, who was a hadwae deale hee in the sixties, died at his home in Agentine, t Jan. 9, aged 5 yeas. J Wod just eached this place t tbe past week of the death of Miss :, Ethel Dukeejat the home of he Biste Ms. Will Singleton of Los Angeles, Call, Dec., 909, He, home until the past few yeas has _ been in the vicinity ol Andeson and he many fiends will be gieved to lean of he death. NOTIOE-The membes of the LOTMM ae equested to be pesent at the fist Febuay meeting as thee is impotant business to come befoe the hive. The meeting will begin pomptly at :30. It was voted to discontinue the evening meetings and all aessions will be held heeafte in the aftenoon. The suow stom that was headed this way last week Wednesday stuck duing the night and continued all day Thusday, the wind playing havoc with the 'beautiful' until it had piled it up in all kinds of shapes, making plenty of wok fo the snow plow and citizens. Tains wee some late howeve all tains on the M. A. L. made thei tips only a few hous behind. Thoughout the state taffic was at a stand still in many places fo hous. A Coection. In the obituay of Ms. Benad McOluskey last week quite an.00* ooonad fo which we wee f? antialy to blame. In mentioning the suvivos of the deceased no mention was made of the only daughte, Miss May McOluskey. Saah Haington, whose maiden name was Wateman, was bon in Middlepot, Niagaa Co., New Yok, Oct th, 9. She lived in that county until he maiage to Havey Haington, Nov. th,. The family moved to this state about 5, settling in Saginaw city fo a time then moved to Maion township whee they eesided until coming to this place a few yeas ago. * To this union wee bon six childen fou of whom ae living: Geoge of Louisville, Ky.; Heny, of Bloomington,.; May Eldet,. of this place and Caie Swathont of- Maion. Ms. Haington was a kind loving wife and mothe, devoted to he family and home duties and to he late husband, who passed though a painful illness, blessed by he loving cae. She willingly obeyed the calls of duty^ howeve painful. She will be geatly mouned and missed by he family and a lage cicle of fiends but we know ou loss is he etenal gain. We believe that a family lives bnt half a life, until it has sent its foeunnes into the heavenly wold, until those who linge hee can coss the ive, and fold tansfigued a gloius fom in the embace of an endlest life. GABD OF THANKS. The family of Ms. H. Haington desie to thank all who so kindly assisted them duing illness and in the time of beeavement, in the loss of thei mothe. CARD OF THANKS We desie to extend ou heatfelt thanks to those who so kindly assisted us in ou beeavement, also to those who sent floal offe. ings.

Wanton waste duing centuies of ignoance has bought many once fetile egions to the vege of a desolation like that of the Sahaa, but epentance and efoestation have in evey instance been followed by immediate ewads. Take the case of the Kaat, a stetch of baen limestone land along the Austian ahoes of the Adiatic. The navies of Venice wee built of Umbe fom the Kaat, and most of easten Italy dew its supplies of wood fom the same supposedly Inexhaustible souce. The esult was depletion the Kast was tuned into a seemingly Iedeemable waste. At last Austian foestes tuned thei attention to the 00,000 baen aces; taxeb wee emitted and money was emitted to tee plantes; technical advice aid encouagement was supplied. This wok began in 5. To-day ove two-thtda of tho Kaat, o 00,000 aces, has been eclaimed. Gemany, tance, Denman;, Russia, Switzeland, Belgium and Holland have given special attention to thei foests ecently, Gemany being the pionee and leade in the wok. But Fance has lately done so much In legislation and active assistance tlxat special attention should be given to he effots. Vhe change fom steam to electicity on what have been steam ailoads Is so gadual, and the oads themselves make so little fuss about It, that tbe public B not in a position to ealize the extent to which so maked a change in the application of powe to tanspotation is being bought about. Fo example, it will be a supise to most people, evei. within a compaatively shot distance of New Yok, to lean that the Long Island ailway aleady has 0 miles of electically equlppped tack in eadiness fo opeation. It is expected that by the fist of next Febuay tains will be unning diectly fom the Pennsylvania teminal at Seventh avenue and Thity-fouth steet, Manhattan, to Jamaica. It will not te long befoe the teitoy at the westen end and along the noth shoe of Long Island will be inc:uded in the thougn sevice. A London dispatch announces that Hemann Klein, who Is a teache of singing in New Yok, has entetained an English audience with a lectue entitled "The Tuth Ab-mt Music In Ameica." Musical enthusiasm, he declaed, Is lagely a pose of Ameican women. No musical educatlo exists in the county. Ragtime is eally pefeed to chambe music. Ameican atists ae only appeciated by thei countymen afte they have achieved success elsewhee. Finally, he attacked the Bta system in opea, chuch music and concets as it exists in the United States. The younge element among militay and naval men will appove the condemnation of the existing oganization of the militay establishment of the United States by the boad appointed seveal months ago to Institute compaisons between methods in this county and in Euope, and to make a epot The epot will ec ommend the establishment of an ad visoy boad with duties and powes simila to those of the Bitish admialty. A thoough eoganization of nay yad administation will also be advised. A wooden vessel 3 feet long ove all will be launchea at Bath, Me, within two weeks. She will be the lagest vessel of Ameican egisty, and pobably one of the last wooden vessels of lage size to be constucted in the United States. Steel has come to be the mateial fo both steam and sail caft, the wold ove. In lesb than ten yeas' time evey pat of Cental Ameica will be in daily a,ich with the commecial wold and the people peaceful and happy in all the povinces, says the Cincinnati Enquie, with no fea of evolutions, political mudes o official demands fo thei Uvea and thei popety. Moe iegulaities have been discoveed In the supply depatment of the Geman navy at Kiel. This time it is in the matte of meat that cookedness is alleged. Gemany can no longe laugh at the evelations of iegulaities In the Fench navy. Special Message Is Sent to Congess by Pesident Uging Action Lawmakes. CONTROL OF WATER POWER Executive Recommends Leasing of. Valuable Pivileges on Govenment Domain to Pivate Inteests Unde Conditions That Would Pevent Monopoly Question of Fosteing Soils Most Impotant- Reclamation and Iigation of Aid Lands Also Teated Upon Pesevation of Ou Foests. Washington. The pesident tansmitted to congess a special message on the subject of the consevation of the nation's natual esouces. In substance it was as follows: To the Senate und House of Repesentatives: In my annual message I eseed the subject of the consevation of ou national esouces fo disposition In a special message, as follows: In seveal depatments thee is pesented the necessity fo legislation looking to the futhe consevation of ou national esouces, and the subject la one of such impotance as to equie a moe detailed and extended discussion than can be enteed upon in this communication. Fo that eason I shall take an ealy oppotunity to send a special message to congess on the subject of the Impovement of ou wateways; upon the eclamation and iigation of aid, semi- Aid and swamp lands; upon the pesevation of ou foests and the e-foesting of suitable aeas; upon the e-classification of the public domain with a view of sepaating fom agicultual settlement mineal, coal and phosphate lands and sites belonging to the govenment bodeing on steams suitable fo the utilization of wate powe. In 0 we had a public domain of,05,-», aces. We have now 73,3.0 aces, confined lagely to the mountain anges and the aid and semi-aid plains. We have, in addition, 3,035,975 aces of land in Alaska. Disbusement of Public Lands. The public lands wee, duing the ealiest administations, toated as a national asset fo the liquidation of the public debt and as a souce of ewad fo ou soldies and sailos. Late on they wee donated in lage amounts in aid of th«constuction of wagon oads and ailways, in ode to open up egions in the west then almost Inaccessible. All the pincipal land statutes wee enaoted moe than a quate of a centuy ago. The homestead act, the pe-emption and timbe-cultue act, the coal land and the mining acts wee among these. Faudulent Titles. The tuth is that title to millions of aces of publie lands was faudulently obtained and that the ight to ecove a lage pat of such lands fo the govenment long plnce ceased by eason of statutes of limitations. Thee has developed In ecent yeas a deep concen in the public mind especting the pesevation and pope use of ou natual esouces. This has been paticulaly diected towad the consevation of the esouces of the public domain. A vast amount of discussion has appeaed in the public pints in genealized fom on this subject, but thee has been little pactical suggestion. It has been easy to say that the natual esouces in fuel supply, in foests, in wate powe, and in othe public utilities, must be saved fom waste, monopoly, and othe abuses, and the geneal public is In accod with this poposition, as they ae with most tuism*. The poblem, howeve, is how to save and how to utilize, how to conseve and still develop, fo no sane peson can contend that it is fo the common good that natue's blessings ae only fo unbon geneations. Notewothy Refoms. Among the most notewothy efoms Initiated by my distinguished pedecesso wee the vigoous posecution of land fauds and the binging to public attention of the necessity fo peseving the emaining public domain fom futhe spoliation, fo the maintenance and extension of ou foest esouces, and fo the enactment of laws amending the obsolete statutes so as to etain govenmental contol ove that pat of the pub- He domain in which thee ae valuable deposits of coal, of oil, and of phosphate, and, in addition theeto, to peseve contol, unde conditions favoable to the public, of the lands along the steams In which the fall of wate can be made to geneate powe to be tansmitted in the fom of electicity many miles to the point of its use, known as "wate powe" sites. The pesent statutes, except so fa as they dispose of the pecious metals and the puely agicultual lands, ae not adapted to cay out the moden view of the best disposition of publie lands to pivate owneship, unde conditions offeing on the one hand sufficient inducement to pivate capital to take them ove fo pope development, with estictive conditions on the othe which shall secue to the public that chaacte of contol which will pevent a monopoly o misuse of the lands o thei poducts. The powe of the secetay of the inteio to withdaw fom the opeation of existing statutes tacts of land, the disposition of which unde such statutes would be detimental to the public Inteests, «not clea o satisfactoy. This powe has been execised In the inteest of the public, with thejiope that congess might affim the action of the executive by laws adapted to the new conditions. Unfotunately, congess has not thus fa fully aeted on theyecosamendattons of the executive, and the nutation as to what the eajcm,u«e Is to do is unde the cicumstances, ut} «difficulty. It seems to me that It U the duty of oongess BOW, by a statute, to validate the withdawal* whioj* nave been made by tbe secetay of the inteio and the pesident and to use the secetay'of the Inteio tempoav ily to withdaw lands pending submission to congess of ecquuneudauons as to legislation to meet conditions o emegencies as they aise.. Public Land Alone teams. With espect to the public land which lies aleng the steams offeing oppotunity to convet wate powe Into tansmissible electicity,.anothe impotant phase of the public land question is pesented. Thee ae valuable wate powe sites though all the public land states. The opinion Is held that the tansfe of soveeignty fom the fedeal govenment to the teitoial goven menu as they become states, included the wate powe In the ives except so fa as that owned by ipaian popietos. I do not think it necessay to go Into discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to say that tbe man who owns and contols the land along the steam fom which the powe is to be conveted and tansmitted, owns land which Is indispensable to the convesion and use of that powe. I cannot conceive bow -the powe In steams flowing though public lands can bo made available at all except by using the land Itself as the site fo the constuction of the plant by which the powe is geneated and conveted and secuing a ight of way theeove fo tansmission lines. Unde these condition, If the govenment owns the adjacent land indeed, if the govenment is the ipaian owne it may contol the use of the wate powe by Imposing pope conditions on the disposition of the land necessay in tbe ceation and utilization of the wate powe. Vslue of Wate Powe. The development in electical appliances fo the convesion of the wate powe into electicity to be tansmitted long distances has pogessed so fa that it is no longe poblematical, but It Is a cetain Infeence that In the futue the powe of the wate falling In the steams to a lage extent will take the place of natual fuels. In the disposition of the domain aleady ganted, many wate nowe sites have come unde absolute owneship, and may dift into one owneship, so that all the wate'powe unde pivate owneship shall be a monopoly. If, howeve, the wate powe nitea now owned by the govenment and thee ae enough of them shall be disposed of to pivate pesons fo the Investment of thei capital in such a way aa to pevent thei union fo puposes of monopoly with othe wate powe sites, and unde conditions that shall limit the ight of use to not exceeding thity yeas with enewal pivileges and some equitable means of fixing tems of ental and with pope means fo detemining a easonable gaduated ental, it would seem entiely possible to pevent the absoption of these most useful lands by a powe monopoly. As long as the govenment etains contol and can pevent thei impope union with othe plants, competition must be maintained and pices kept easonable. olls Must Be Conseved. In consideing the consevation of the natual esouces of the county, the featue that tanscends all othes, including woods, wates, mineals, Is the soil of the county. It is incumbent upon the govenment to foste by all available means the esouces of the county that poduce the food of the people. To this end the consevation of the soils of the county should be caed fo with all means at the govenment's disposal. Thei poductive powes should have the attentlon^of ou scientists that we may cotsewte^the new soils, impove the old soils, dain wet Boils, ditch swamp soils, levee ive oveflow soils, gow tees on thin soils, pastue hillside soils, otate cops on all soils, discove methods fo copping dy land soils, find gasses and legumes fo all soils, feed gains and mill feeds on the fams whee they oiginate, that the eoils fom which they come may be eniched. A wok of the utmost Impotance to infom and Instuct the public on this chief banch of the consevation of ou esouces is being caied on successfully in the depatment of agicultue; but it ought not to escape public attention that state action in addition to that of the depatment of agicultue (as fo Instance in the dainage of swamp lands) is essential to the best teatment of the soils in the manne above Indicated. The act by which, in semi-aid pats of the public domain, the aea of the homestead has been enlaged fom ISO to 30 aces has esulted most beneficially in the extension of "dy faming" and in the demonstation which has been made of the possibility, though a 'vaiation in the chaacte and mode of cultue, of aising substantial cops without the pesence of such a supply of wate as has been heetofoe thought to be necessay fo agicultue. No one can visit the fa west and the county of aid and semi-aid lands without being convinced that this is one of the most impotant methods of the consevation of ou natual esouces that the govenment has enteed upon. It would appea that ove 30 pojects have been undetaken, and that a few of these ae likely to bo unsuccessful because of lack of wate, o fo othe easons, but geneally the wok which has been done has been well done, and many impotant engineeing poblems have been met and solved. Funds inadequate fo evlce. One of the difficulties which has aisen is that too many pojects in view of the available funds have been set on foot. The funds available unde the eclamation statute ae Inadequate to complete these pojects within, a easonable time. And yet the pojects have been begun; settles have been invited to take up atid. in many instances, have taken up. the public land within the pojects, elying upon thei pompt completion. The failue to complete the pojects fo thei benefit Is, In- effect, a beach of faith and leaves them In a most distessed condition. I uge that the nation ought to affod the means to lift them out of the vey despeate condition in whloh they now ae. This condition does not indicate any excessive wsste o any couption on the pat of the eclamation sevice. It only indicates an ove-eealoua desie to extend the benefit of eclamation to as many aces and as many states aa possible. I ecommend, theefoe., that authoity be given to Issue, not exceeding $0,000,000 of bonds fom time to time, as the secetay of the Inteio shall find It necessay, the poceeds to be applied to the completion of the pojects aleady begun and M.-* thei pope extension, and the woods unning tea yeas ot moe to be tajua, up by the poceeds of ^etuns to the eclamation fund, which etuns, aa the yeas go on, will incease asidy la amount '». New Law Requisite. - Respecting the oompaatlvaly small timbeed aea* on the publie domain eet included la national foests because ' of thei Isolation.o thei special value to agicultual o mineal puposes, it iea#- - paent fom the evils esulting by vitue of the impefeottona of existing laws fo the disposition of Umbe lands that the acts of. June, ft, should be e* pealed and a law exacted fo the dispo* sitlon ot the timbe at pubue axle, the lands afte the emoval of the timbe to be subject to appopiation unde the agicultual o mineal land laws. What I have said Is eally an epitome ot the ecommendations of the secetay of the Inteio In espect, to the futue consevation of the public domain in his pesent annual epot He has given close attention to the poblom of disposition of these lands unde suoh conditions as to invite the pivate capital necessay to thei development on the one hand, and the maintenance of the estictions necessay to pevent monopoly and abuse fom absolute owneship ot the othe. These ecommendations ae incopoated in bills he has pepaed, and they ae at the disposition ot the congess.'i eanestly ecoaaeud that all the suggestions which he has made with espect to these lands shall be embodied in statutes and, especially, that the withdawals aleady made shall be validated so fa as neccesay and that doubt as to the authoity of the secetay of the Inteio to withdaw lands fo the pupose of submitting ecommendations as to futue disposition of them whee new legislation is needed shall be made complete and unquestioned. Disposition of Foest Reseves. The foest eseves. of the United State's, some 90,000,000 aces in.extent, ae unde the contol of the depatment of agicultue, with authoity adequate to peseve them and to extend thei gowth so fa as that may be pacticable. The impotance of the maintenance of ou foests cannot be exaggeated. The possibility of a scientific teatment of foests so that they shall be made to yield a lage' etun in timbe without eally educing the supply has been demonstated in othe counties, and we should wok towad the standad set by them as fa as thei methods ae Applicable to ou conditions. Impovement of Rive. I come now to the Impovement of the Inland wateways. He would be blind, indeed, who did not ealise that the people of the fa west, and especially those of the Mississippi valley, have been aoused to the need thee Is fo the impovement of ou inland wateways. The Mississippi ive, with the Missoui on the one hand and the Ohio on the othe, would seem to offe a geat natual means of intestate tanspotation and taffic. How fa. if popely impoved they would elieve the ailoads o supplement them In fespect to the bulkie and cheape commodities is a.matte of conjectue. No entepise ought to be undetaken the cost of which is not definitely ascetained and the benefit and advantage of which ae not known and assued by competent enginees and othe authoity. When, howeve, a poject of a definite chaacte fo the Impovement of a wateway has been developed so that the plans have been dawn, the cost definitely estimated, and the taffic which will be accommodated is easonably pobable I think it Is the duty of : *w- ~&m 5 l^llf TW BETWgfN D0SIS. - * «., «* SjV.V :>-.«? * : ">.'»**,.

Faith, It was a choice collection, as though the wide wates of the wold bad been skimmed to bing togethe that ae cew of beauties. Peched high upon a table, bis Jk>ng legs encased in sea boots, seated astide a chai, sat the singe, his mop of coase ed hai standing eect, his Jaw that of a bulldog, the sca of a ecent kiife wound showing, ghastly acoss one cheek, his blue shit open at the thoat to eveal a haiy chest; beneath thatched bows his eyes glinted and gleamed in a feocious attempt at good humo. "Blng, ye bullies! ' he oaed, afte one Inquiing glance towad me, binging his heavy glass down on the back of the chai. "Lay it out fe the gent, wtmt has just come calun' on ye. Tune up, ye sea dogs.

Now at it: CHAPTER IV. In Which I Meet My Cew. The polite hotel clek halted me as I passed his desk on the way out with infomation that a dunken naval office evidently Sanchez had been thee twice aleady seeking me, had also asked fo Lod Dalington, and would etun again at ten o'clock. I thanked him, smiling to myself, wondeing if the English nobleman was to be challenged also, and pomptly disappeaed into the night without. The unfotunate affai with the aggieved lieutenant had become a small matte no longe toubling me. I have wandeed by night though most of the seapots of the wold, knowing well the inticacies and dak places of Pot Said, Melboune and Calcutta, but I doubt if even the unspeakable oient can equal fo dit, squalo, cime and peil those naow, cooked alleyways whee sailos most do congegate against the Valpaaiso wate-font. Hee gathe in bestial ioting the scum of the South seas, and hee flouish thei paasites. Any night a tip alone though those foul lanes Is of the kind to test stong neves; but on this special occasion, the way filled with pandemonium and dunkenness, the entie city a iot of noisy violence, the populace aoused to fiece hate towad all foeignes, the passage was one of constantly ecuing dange. The steet lights, few and fa between, wee mee blotches of colo winking feebly at the suounding dakness, the ough cobblestone pavement undefoot was iegula and deceitful, while dunken cowds, eithe quaelsome o maudllngly affectionate, suged aimlessly about, gesticulating and yelling with Latin fevo. Howeve. I knew the way well, and kept myself hidden fom obsevation by hoveing close beneath the potecting shadows of the buildings, dawing well h:\ck within dooways to pemit the noise paties of veles to pass, and then huying _ wad along the deseted steets. ^^pumbled ove the body of moe than %ne dunken man, while sounds of Quaeling wee bone to me though the open doo of evey low tapoom I passed. The scum of Valpaaiso had e to the top, the fies of hell bunfiecely. do Rodigues' den stood somewhat back fom the naow lane it fonted,. flanked and concealed by talle buildings on eithe side. It was a amshackle, wooden affai, sagging sadly at one cone, the half doze stepb leading to tve open doo being only dimly lighted. As it was a wellknown esot, fequented almost entiely by foeign seamen who would scacely be safe on the steets such a night as this, it was no supise to dlscoveo the tapoom densely cowded.with sailo-men, and to distinguish-m voice singing Justify in vigoous tuiglish, to an accompaniment' The' captain's.- bide was fai to see; Swing had! bend low! She mocked at him; she smiled at me; Swing had! tend low! "Oh, to hell wld that sote love-sick stuff," cied a potesting voice, hoasely. "That's no good sailo song, Bill. Give us somethin' vto stat ou pipes," The giant in the chai scowled. "Ye'e a lot o' dubs, an' not fit sailo-men," he etoted, savagely, dain- Tuttle Wheeled and Staed, His Jaw Woking Savagely. ing his glass; "but I've got a chous ye'll sing o fight me, an' dam' If I cae much which. Now take a gip at this: A mighty man was Pat McCann, t Who sailed upon the sea; Within his hold he hid the gold, He stole In Bahaoe. In Babaee, in Babaeo The men lie mute, Hf» has the loot, He found in Bnbaee. They wee still at it, the motley, mongel cew, thei hoase, dinkthickened voices oaing out lines full of the fiece swing of the deep sea, thei glasses pounding in unison on the tables, as I pushed my way though them up to the sloppy ba and faced the fellow standing behind. "Is thee a Yankee whaleman hee by the name of Tuttle?" I asked. He staed at me, his eyes squinting, while the wild chous began to die away like a clock un down. "Bill, whas Cap" Tut'?" he called out finally. "Hee's a cove wants hhn." The ed-headed giant, peched aloft on the chai, flung one hand indiffeently acoss his shoulde towad the ea of the oom. "Come on again, mates," he oaed. "Anothe dink, and anothe song. Spit it out this time 'Swing had! Bend low!'" "He's yonde In the back oom; though that doo, mate," said the batende, shotly. "Bette not tead on any of the lads* feet goin' in, unless maybe ye'e hee to-night, huntin' touble. They'e just 'bout dunk enough now to be eady to stat a ow." I picked my way with caution, the fiece lilt of that devils' chous stunning my eas, the haiy faces confonting me scowllngly suggestive of any c!#\ Saint Andew! I thought sobely, if this was still the day of piates hee was * bood eady fo hatching. With a feeling of positive ellef pessed open the heavy wooden doo, stepped within and closed it caefnlly behind me. So tightly fitting and solid the wood It instantly shut out completely the mad >iot of the baoom. It was like coming into a new wold. Two men sat alone at a small, ound table smoking, between them a shot-necked black boute with glasses, and a scatteed deck of geasy cads. The one neaest whee I stood, tali, long-umbed, angoja* hi* facet thfat and made to appea moe a*v fom a sandy chin-whiske, bad hit knees swung ove the ana of bis chai, a bald spot on the, top of hit head shinlag ooasplcoousiy beneath tha as of the iamfc. His oompanjan Was consideably yomiga, somewbaf tim of buiht, with black, culing hai, and small mustaches cated - upwad at the tips. He was of a complexion to make- me think him eithe a eeole quadoon, but with smiling lips and % light in his mey eyes beepeakiag a tempeament of food humo; "Capt. Eli Tuttle?" I questioned, doubtfully. The olde man slowly deposited his feet on the floo and stood up. He was a tifle ound-shouldeed, attied la a black fock coat which dangled to the knees, and his eyes-of cold gay naowed into mee slits as he inspected me with undisguised suspicion. "The spiit which fo 70 yeas hath made answe to that eathly name still abideth within this fleshly body," he esponded solemnly, in a voice seemingly fom the vey pit of his stomach. "I am still pemitted to sail the seas, thus known to the childen, of men, awaiting in patience the hou of tanslation." To be geeted thus in such a spot stunned me fo the instant, my cheeks flushing as I ead undisguised amusement in the uptuned face of the Ceole. My teeth shut togethe had. "You ae Eli Tuttle, then, fomely maste of the whaling bak Betsy?" "Even so, young man," his lean face pefectly emotionless, his long finges outspead flat on the table. "Eli Tuttle of New Bedfod, once the chief of sinnes, but now communing with the highe life of the spiit wold. Associate me not with yonde ungodly cew, blind to the tuth of the beyond," and he snapped his finges softly towad the closed doo. "In this wold saints and sinnes must indeed mingle bodily, yet not in any communion of spiit. It was fo peaceful meditation that fiend De Nova and I deseted yonde scene of evely and sought this secluded spot. Tuly the good book saith that whee one o two ae gatheed togethe in his name thee is he also in the midst of them." The Ceole laughed outight, smiling the table smatly with his palm. "Sit down, mate!" he exclaimed, genially, kicking up a chai. "Afte 5 ou know zis ol' hypocite as well as I do, his communion viz spiits won't bozzef you much. Help youself to dink, an' wash the taste out you' mouth." Tuttle wheeled about and staed at his companion, his thin jaw woking savagely; but the Ceole went on olling a cigaette indiffeently between his bown finges, his white teeth gleaming. I emained standing, my hand on the back of the chai, intently studying the pai. "I come diectly fom Don Castillo," I said, quietly, facing the Yankee, and detemined to get down to business, "and desie to speak with you alone." His glinting eyes naowed peceptibly, and his jaws cunched down upon the tobacco in his cheek. " Tis safe enough with him," he acknowledged athe ungaciously, his voice becoming nasal as he pointed his chin-bead towad the othe. "De Nova Is second office." I dew back the chai and sat down, ealizing that I now possessed the attention of both. "I have been appointed to assume Capt. Castela's duties," I announced quietly. "Do eithe of you cae to examine my papes?" Tuttle Bpat silently into the sawdust, while De Nova exhibited his white teeth in a gin. The eyes of the two men met. "I athe guess you papes won't cut much ice in this yee affai," etuned the fome with delibeate insolence, "being as how we don't eithe of us gj^fctw^tin* to,5ea, If if you'll paldod my sayia* so plainly." His maak.- bad. disappeaed as by magic, and I ealised instantly the eal natue of, tip men* "Y^g mean,bo oattstmaot km bean made,.eithe by yon, ft the men unde you' "That's lust,aboot the aue of it, miste," his tone full of unconcealed contempt. Us leg flung once again ove the am of the chai. "We ageed to do this one paticula "job fe a cetain consideation, but we'e none of as-peuvian sailo-men, and consequently don't give a hang fo yon papes. Ain't that about it. De Nova?" The eeole nodded, still smiling pleasantly, the blue smoke culing lastly up fom the end of his cigaette. Evidently the two wee actively engaged in taking my measue, and this was to be a case of man against man, athe than the execise of any delegated authoity. I might as well thow my commission into the fie fo any eal value it possessed hee. All ight; I had met and attended to thei kind befoe. "I am delighted to undestand the situation so clealy and quickly," I said, Bhaply, thowing a note of authoity into my voice and manne. "It simplifies my task. Now listen to me, M. Tuttle," giving him his fomal title, "and you likewise, De Nova. I pobably cae as little fo those papes as eithe of. you, but, nevetheless, am in command. Do you both clealy compehend that? I am in command! It will be just as well fo you n t to attempt any hose-play. I am no dago sea-office, but a Noth Ameican sailo, and I didn't come cawling Into my fist ship though a cabin window. I've tamed mutinous cews befoe now, and when I'm up against sea-scum I can hit as had as the next fellow. If eithe of you desie to test my qualities as a buckomate, I'm hee to accommodate you." Neithe answeed, but I ead thei conclusion in thei eyes. "That's all I need to say now," I went on. "It's up to you to fish o cut bait. You fellows have nothing to gain by opposing me, and I hope you possess sense enough to know it. De Nova, whee have I eve met you befoe?" The Ceole's face instantly bightened again, his white teeth gleaming unde the black mustache. "So monsieu emembe," he lisped gently, leaning fowad on the table. "I thought maybe you foget altogethe 'bout zat time. But I know you at once w'en you come In. It make me laugh to see zis Yankee ty bait you like you was a dago steamboate. Bah, I know you all ight fo sailo-man; I know you do business." "But I am unable to place you." "No, not yet; maybe you will w'en I say moe." He spoke apidly, gesticulating with excitement. "It was a little ship off Hatteas; ze stom five days, an' all weck. It was a steame, w'ite, wiss ed stacks, zat took off ze cew, an' it was hell of a job. Zat was ze stoy, monsieu; I was mate of ze Cymbellne." I knew him then instantly, my memoy pictuing anew tha cold, gay dawn, the geen, angy seas, the helpless, sodden hulk heaving sickenlngly to its death, and those wate-denched foms we hauled ove the sinking ail into ou tossing boat. I held foth my hand, and his bown finges, had as Ion, closed ove it In a gip to be felt. "Sue, it's come back, mate," I said. "I athe guess I can count on you." His dak eyes met mine in fank honesty. "Running ams fo the Cuban evolutionists then, ween't you?" I asked, indiffeently. "What since?" He shugged his shouldes, glancing acoss at Tuttle, and Angeing his mustache. (TO BE CONTINUED.) No Compomise With Tuth *- Absoluts Sinceity in AM Things Maks Men of Standing. Sinceity is made up of two wods sine and cee sine, without, and cee, wax; without wax. And it means absolutely pue, tanspaent. The human mind is constucted fo tuth telling. This is its nomal condition, and unde the execise of tue living and tue thinking the chaacte becomes stong and obust Wholeness, completeness, comes into the life fom tuth, fom sinceity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expessing deceit it becomes abnomal and woks all sots of ham to the chaacte. I have in mind a vey billiant wite who exobanges hts talent fo cash in political campaigns. He has witten some of the best campaign documents fo all politics] paties, but the lack of sinceity in his chaacte so discounts his pesonality and ability that he has no standing as a man..«is ecogniseda% a billiant wite, but as a man totally without convictions. Thee is something in the mind itself which thives upon sinceity and which potests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing eve quite satisfies this longing but absolute tuth.

The ninety thousand settles of last yea, followed about sixty thousand of the pevious yea, and fo seveal yeas the numbe has been unning into these lage figues. Thee must be a eason fo it. It may be found in the single phase, "they ae satisfied." Nothing attacts people, moe than the success of othes, and. the news of this eaching othe thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this, case is always satisfactoy.

Last yea the assessed valuation of the aiload companies amounted to 07,305,000, while this yea's figues show it to be $,90,000, an incease of,5,000. The aveage ate pe $,000 In 90 was $,005, while fo 909 it Is $0.7, an incease of $,- 5. Thee has been an Incease in the state tax ove 90 of $,75, In 907 it was $,,7.37, and in 90 it was $,9, This yea the figues ae $5,99,30.9. The assessed valuation of eal estate has inceased $3,90,3 ove a yea ago, and of pesonal popety $5,993,95. The Ann Abo aiload Is assessed at $7,700,000, which is a eduction of $3,000; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $3,75,000. an Incease of $75,- 000; Chicago & Nothwesten, $,- 9,000, an incease of $00,000; Coppe Range, $,00,000, an incease of $7,000; Detoit & Mackinac. $,00,000, sn Incease of $35,000; Gand Rapids & Indiana emains the same, $,000,- 000; Lake Shoe & Michigan Southen, $,37,000, an incease of $7,- 000; Michigan Cental, $5,5,000. an incease of $,97,0; Pee Maquette, $3,05,000, an incease of $,35,000; Mipneapolis.

Thee will be a local option election in Kent county in Apil. Final and decisive settlement of this question was eached when the supevisos, by a vote of 3 to 9, adopted a esolution that an election be held accoding to the demand of the Bignes of the local option petitions. The sentiment of the boad was ascetained when a vote was taken on the question of adopting the minoity epot, It was evident that the dys pedominated, and the vote stood to 7 in favo of accepting the epot. This was the tue test, fo when the vote was taken on the subject of submission many switched thei votes and Jumped on the pohibition band wagon. Few Claims on the Fund. Tn the state teasuy thee is $9,-, known as state bounty fund, which was ceated by an act of the legislatue of 9, and oiginally contained $00,000. The appopiation was made fo the pupose of paying claims against the state, dating fom the beginning of the civil wa, but appaently thee ae only a few of these which have been pesented to the audito-geneal. as the fund has not been touched since May, 907, when $00 was paid out. Befoe the legislatue of 9 eeated the bounty fund accounts wee paid fom the geneal fund upon the appoval of the audito-geneal, but 'the lawmakes decided that It would be a bette plan to ceate a special fund, and they placed It sufficiently high so that It would neve be ovedawn. Many of the enties made in the ledge page used fo the pupose pio ito 9 contain many inteesting accounts. In 7 a bill was paid fo a team of oxen which was killed by a tain, tanspoting a company of voluntees to Detoit. It is pobable that unless moe iwoads ae made upon this fund duing the next few yeas, It will be eased fom the ledge and again placed In the geneal fund. Would Make Copoations Pay. A suggestion will be made at the next legislatue by the state aiload commission fo an amendment to the law giving the commission supevisoy powe ove the public sevice copoations, which will equie that class of copoations to aid in the maintenance of the depatment. It Is poposed that, when a copoation asks fo the authoity to issue stocks and bonds and an investigation of the poject Is necessay that the inteested copoation be equied to pay a eetain sum to cove the cost of the investigation.
