The calendar year s closng wth every ndcaton that the remarkable volume of exports wll reman at the flood. A bulletn from the bureau of statstcs at Washngton s testmony to ths effect The bulletn deals wth the exports of domestc breadstuffs, meat and dary products, food anmals, cotton and mneral ols for November and for the 11 months of the present year ended wth November. The total of these exports for November was 1105,811,000 aganst $99,841,000 n 1905, and for the 11 months $788,257,000 compared wth $703,569,000 last year. The December returns are not lkely to show any relatve decrease, and the entre year s farly certan to show a large advance over last. Several features of the bulletn showng command specal nterest. Though there was somethng of a fallng off n ths class of exports for the month, our shpments abroad of meat and^dary products and of food cattle'^s^e»208,- 979,000 n 1906, or more than $20,000,- 000 n excess of these of the same 11 months of Legslaton by congress and the steps taken by the admnstraton n accordance therewth, amng at safeguardng the purty of the output, have ncreased foregn confdence. The fgures are of value as provng that whle we sell abroad less barley, oats and corn, we are dsposng n large quantty of what may be called the fnshed products from such raw materal. The Amercans are feedng more of the gran to lve stock and sellng more cattle and meat tc the old world! Ths s really an economc advantage, as fndng a market for the hgher valued product al tways s. The bulletn accentuates the predomnance of ths country as a source of food supply, whle the com^ plete returns are pretty certan to prove that t las been a bg year for exports of manufactures also. Poland'* Ptable Condton. The stuaton of Poland to-day Is ptable. Busness n Warsaw has fallen off 50 per cent, and more; the fashonable boulevards are partly deserted; the restaurants are but half flled, and the leadng hotel s runnng at a loss. The cty swarms wth troops, but martal law brngs only oppresson, not securty. Hardly a day passes but offcals are klled or wounded by the terrorsts, whle suspected persons are arrested, clubbed or shot to death by:the authortes. The terrorsts are strong enough to defy the government, whle the government s strong enough to crush a general revolt, and the result s anarchy. When t wll end no one can tell. But tsume day, says G. H. Blakeslee n the Outlook, peace wll surely come, for Poland s to have autonomy. The Poles demand t. The great majorty of the Russan Duma has promsed It, and Russan lberalsm must eventually wn. Romance of Motor Travel. The motor car has rescued the romance of travel, freeng t from the Irrtatng compulsons and contacts of the ralway, the bondage to fxed hours and the beaten track and approach to each town through the area of uglness,and desolaton created by the ralway tself. Wth the motor, says Edth Wharton, n Atlantc, we have reganed the wonder, the adventure and the novelty whch enlvened the way of our postng grandparents; above all, the delght of takng a town unawares, stealng on It by back ways and unchroncled paths, surprsng n t some ntmate aspect of past tme, some slhouette hdden for half a century or more by the ugly mask of ralway embankments and the glass and ron bulk of a huge staton. Then the vllages that one mssed and yearned for from the wndows of the tran the vllages have been gven back to us. Mexco wnds up ts year wth a remarkably satsfactory fnancal showng. She reports exports of $271,000,- 000, an ncrease of nearly $63,000,000 over the precedng year, and mports of $220,651,000, a gan of over $42,000, But what s stll better s the advance along all the lnes of domestc development. Mexco s lterally, lvng n peace and plenty, wth the most effcent of governments under the wse drectng hand of Presdent Daz. The day of upheavals' and factonal dsorders, resultng n general demoralzaton, seems to be past forever. Mexco has leaned the secret of wse self-government Wde Range of Subjects Covered n the Document of the State's Chef Executve. RAILROAD RATES TOO HIGH Suggeston That All Roads n Lower Pennsula Earnng $1,000 a Mle Charge but Two Cents a Mle Proposed Dsposton of Prmary School Fund. I*nsng. The second naugural message of Gov. Warner, read to the house end senate of the Forty-fourth legslature January 3, covers a wde range of subjects. It begns wth a reference to the exceptonal prosperty of the state's fnancal condton. The governor goes on record as favorng the callng of a consttutonal conventon n accordance wth the expressed wshes of the people. Showng the fnancal poston of the state, the followng fgures are gven: "The balance n the state treasury, at the close of the fscal year 1906, was 11,929, By reason of the payment of back taxes by ralroad companes, the treasury balance, at the close of the last fscal year, was $11,003, The state tax levy decreased from $3,869, n 1906 to $3,3S3,7S5.29 n The aggregate of all taxes, both state and local, leved In Mchgan n 1905, was $27,402,198.86, and n 1106 approxmately $2t,3Sl,O00. The amount receved from ralroad companes In 1905 was $1, , and n 190«$8,108, The latter sum ncludes the back taxes mentoned above. In 1905 the nsurance companes of other states.operatng n Mchgan pad nto the state treasury n taxes $32'.'.6O0.91. and n 1906 $422, Inhertance taxes collected n 1905 aggregated' $187.35'».38, and n 1906 $289, In 1905 corporatons pad the state franchse fees.amountng to $69,910.42, and In 1906, $92,111.1)7. Durng the frst 11 months of the year Just closed the state receved $132, nterest on deposts of surplus state funds n varous banks throughout the state. The balance n -the state treasury, at the close of busness, December 33, 1906, was $2,323, "The assessed valuaton of the taxable property of the state was $1,574,422,770 n 1906, the average rate of taxaton for that year for all purposes beng $17.40 per $1,000 of valuaton. It s estmated that the assessed valuaton for 1907 wll be $1,601,493,690, makng the average rate of taxaton about $16.40 per $1,000 of valuaton. Good Fnancal Condton. "Ths satsfactory condton of the fnances of the stare reflects qute fathfully the general condton of the fnancal and busness nsttutons of the state as well as of the ctzens of the state generally. There has not been a falure of a state or natonal bank n Mchgan durng the past four years. Ths fact reflects great credt on those offcals who are charged wth the duty of supervsng these nsttutons." The reports of the boards of control of the varous state Insttutons show, the governor ponts out, that the state has rece»;?d honest, economcal and ntllgent servce. He recommends a lberal sprt n dealng wth the needs of the Insttutons and a watchfulness n seeng that the funds approprated are expended wth care and economy. The necessty for ncreasng the accommodatons of the hosptals and asylums for the nsane and feeble mnded s shown, as well as the Importance of carryng on the care and educaton of the deaf and dumb, the blnd, and the dependent chldren of the state. The work done by the state department of health snce Us reorganzaton by the last legslature s hghly prased. A recommendaton that the health laws of the state be modfed and smplfed follows. On the subject of Insurance the governor calls attenton to the conference of February last, partcpated n by several state, and recommends that blls prepared by a commttee apponted by that conference be gven careful attenton. The message contnues: "The ndetermnate sentence law, although of comparatvely recent enactment n ths state and provdng for a radcal change In the manner of sentencelng persons convcted of crme and termnatng the perod of mprsonment, s workng satsfactorly. Dary and Food Department. "The work of the dary and food department las been greatly extended durng the past two years. Conformng to the suggestons made n my frst Inaugural message, the legslature made provson for7 the new lnes of worlf. Chef among the extended powers granted to the department, n addton to ncreased appropratons for ts laboratory, were the supervson of and the gvng Of polce power over the condton under whch food and drnk products are produced, the control of dary santary condtons from the farm where the mlk s produced to the tme of delvery to the consumer, n the form of ether mlk, cream, butter or cheese, the control of the santary condton of bakeres, confectoneres and ce cream plants, and the makng t possble to appont a suffcent number of nspectors to enforce the several provsons of the law. "Durng the past year, congress has passed what s known as the natonal pure food law and meat Inspecton law. The applcaton of the new regulatons of the natonal food law wll apply, BO far as the Unted States authortes are concerned, only to food products passng the borders of the state. In so far as It s practcable, wthout surrenderng any of the advantages of the Mchgan law over that of the natonal law, I recommend that the requrements of the Mchgan law be made to conform wth those of the natonal law. Need of Good Roads. "It Is an unpleasant, though Well establshed fact,' I thnk, that some states contguous to Mchgan can justly boast the possesson of roads far superor to those of ths state. Mchgan has been laggng In ths enterprse. The need of actve work n the drecton of mprovng our hghways s Imperatve. Good roads are of great value to all classes of our people, and an economcally and ntellgently conducted system of road buldng wll prove to be a payng nvestment. The detaled report of the state hghway commssoner s commended to your careful consderaton., "That there Is a very general demand for the enactment of a law placng prvate bangs under state supervson cannot be dened. Two years ago when a bll, makng such provson, was passed by the house of representatves and defeated n the senate by a very narrow margn, apparently the only ones who S2S. l 8Sr^»fe lsljks%s. these so-called prvate A>anls are mate so far ae thetr relatons to the euouc are concerned, only to the extent that they are permtted to handle the funds of ther depostors aa they see ft, wthout regulaton or supervson of any nature. They solct deposts of money by the publc, and these deposts should he safeguarded n every way. "Durng the past two years we have wtnessed: conspcuous examples of the necessty for state examnaton of prvate banks. There s, n the proposed legslaton, no nvason of legtmate prvate rghts. It s smply and* solely a measure of safety and protecton n the nterest of the publc n the frst nstance, and. n my opnon, n a large measure of the prvate banks themselves. It seems to me that there can be no queston thst state supervson and examnaton would gve these nsttutons an mproved standng In the. estmaton of the publc and thus Increase ther busness and usefulness. I recommend that a proper system of state regulaton and examnaton of prvate banks be provded by ths legslature." Drect Nomnatons. "The subject of drect nomnaton of canddates far publc offce demands your consderaton. Act. No. 181, of the Publc Acts of l>06, known as the prmary electon law, was passed and receved my approval. Experence.under t has demonstrated that n some partculars amendment s necessary, but that the law s satsfactory n the man s demonstrated by the fact that n the campagn just closed t was not an ssue. The slence of both press and publc speakers on ths subject was n strkng contrast wth the condtons of two years before. "Chef among the defects n the prmary electon Taw whch ts operaton has ponted out Is that both to the canddate and the publc t s too expensve. Whle the new law properly and qute successfully stopped the corrupt use of money, t has not operated as ts framers thought t would operate, to cut down the expense of a Campagn, for nomnaton, but has rata** aggravated that evl. The poor mau ought not thus to be placed at a dsadvantage n a contest wth a man of means. The provson of the law requrng* sgnatures to nomnaton blanks, ought ta be radcally amended, makng the mnmum and maxmum number of sgnatures requred very small and very near together.. "At the outset t was deem*«ev#mse to provde one prmary for the submsson of the queston of drect nomtna-. tons and the nomnaton of governor and leutenant governor, and one "tor the nomnaton of other canddates. Ths, too, operated to ncrease publc and prvate expense. There should be but one prmary day and upon that day all nomnatons, under the provsons of ths law, should be made, provson could be made for the submsson of the queston of drect nomnatons whenever pettoned jfor. at the Aprl electon, thus makng use of the electon machnery already In use and wth but slght addtonal,expense.'^ a proportonate the ooastltut tho wnorj Pe^tlm!

Use Per Intlre Revenue. "Thus would the entre revenue from specfc taxes be used for educatonal S urposee and the drect tax levy be reuced by over $1,000,000 annually, and, s a large majorty of school dstrcts, the total amount of money to be rased by drect taxaton would be reduced. In the thousand or more dstrcts, where, under the present system, the money s plng up and lyng Idle In ther treasurers' hands, the apportonment suggested would pay ther share of the drect tax they are now requred to rase for the support of the hgher educatonal Insttutons. "If ths recommendaton s adopted, the one-quarter mll ' tax now provded for the unversty, the one-tenth mll tax now leved for the support of the agrcultural college, and the drect tax leved under the exstng system for the mantenance of the other Insttutons specfcally mentoned, can be pad out of the prmary school nterest fund, and the drect tax levy reduced to that extent. "I concur n the recommendaton of the state tax commsson that the law governng the taxaton of express companes be amended so as to elmnate, from the computaton on whch the tax s based the oqean mleage nf these companes. The ncluson of ths mleage renders the result lttle less than farccal. "The satsfactory operaton of the ad valorem system of assessng ralroad property suggests the desrablty of extendng ths system so as to nclude the property of telegraph and telephone companes. The present method of taxng the latter corporatons 1B uncertan ana unsatsfactory. These objectons can be overcome and greater justce attaned by the applcaton of the ad vulorem syst.m to these corporatons. "The ad valorem system of assessng ralroad property for taxaton Is so frmly establshed as the polcy of the state that the general subject of taxaton of ralroads does not call for any extended treatment n ths message, v "One of the most mportant jcabes n whch the state has been drectly nterested,and whch has. been fnally concluded n favor of the state, except In one Instance, "We referred to as the ralroad tax case, n whch the supreme court of the Unted States upheld the consttutonalty..*?.oou»: present method S t. taxng, ralroad property.

"If convcts were to be employed buldng roads the same objecton could and would be made by those who would mantan, and correctly too, that the ncreased cost of the prsoners' mantenance and the preventon of escapes would employ many more free laborers than are now employed on the hghways. "Assumng, then, that prsoners must be employed and employed wthn enclosures, we are compelled to ohoose between the three systems by whch ths labor can be used; namely, the contract system by whch the state receves a certan stated prce per day for each convct; the pece prce plan, where the amount pad s based upon the number of artcles made, and the state account system, by whch the labor s used by the state and the product sold by the state In the open market. For Bnder Twne Plant. "Manufacturng bnder twne on state account has been a success so far as t has been establshed. Bnder twne s certanly a staple commodty that can be sold to our own people, and whle no one can pretend that ts sale by the state to Mchgan farmers would not nterfere wth the profts of some ndvduals, that objecton should not preval. If t dd, our prsoners would always be dle. We have no factory of the knd n our state and hundreds would receve a drect beneft to one who could possbly clam to be harmed. I recommend that provson he made for the establshment of a bnder twne plant at Jackson prson. "The consttuton and the laws of the state provde that all revenue from specfc taxes shall be credted to the prmary school nterest fund, now that the state debt has been extngushed, and used solely for the payment of teachers' salares. '"Untl the recent change n the method of taxng ralroad corporatons was made, greatly ncreasng the revenue from ths source, ths profuson of the consttuton worked few nequaltes. Now, however, the amount of specfc taxes annually collected s so great th*t It exceeds the needs of the object to whch t must necessarly be appled. "1 would not n the slghtest degree crpple our prmary schools or curtal the scope of ther operatons and usefulness. They are the peoples' colleges and should have our most fosterng care. I do not, however, beleve It to be for ther beat good to releve the people of nl share In the cost of ther mantenance. All persons are more nterested n the welfare of that whch costs them money or effort than n those objects to whose mantenance they make no contrbuton. "I, therefore, commend to your careful consderaton the advsablty of submttng to the electors of the *tat«, at the forthcomng general electon n Aprl, On the subject of freght car shortage- the governor asserts that ^the repeated recurrence of the trouble, year after year, warrants a thorough nvestgaton as to th«responsblty of the ralroad companes. He recommends tnat a commttee' be apponted to nvestgate the matter. Wth reference to ralroad passenger rates the governor says: "For the year 1905 there Were n Mchgan mles of road on whch the legal passenger fare was 4 cents per mle; 4,920,18 mles on whch the legal fare was 3 cents; 9R3.90 mles on whch the legal fare was 2½ cents; 1, mles on whch the legal fare was 2 cents. The 4-cent rate s confned, as provded n the law, to the upper pennsula. "There has been a steady ncrease In passenger earnngs of Mchgan ralroads durng the past ten years, the average Increase beng about 60 per cent, for that perod. The reports show that about 25 per cent, of the total recepts of these companes represents passenger earnngs. One mportant company whose track mleage has not been ncreased n ten years shows ncreased passenger earnngs n excess of 80 per cent. The exact fgures In ths case are that n 1894 the total passenger earnngs of the company were $588, whle n 1904 they Increased to $1,093, Another company reported passenger earnngs of $3, n 1894 and $4,818, n The ncrease n ths case was 40 per cent. Would Amend Law. "I am of the opnon that the law of ths state shpuld be amended so as to make the maxmum passenger fare that may be charged n the upper pennsula 3 cents per mle, and the maxmum rate n the lower pennsula, wth the possble excepton of that charged by a few ndependent companes whose passenger earnngs are less than $1,000 per mle, 2 cents per mle. The legslature can, I thnk, be depended upon to deal justly wth the smaller Independent roads to whch reference s made. Two years ago I called attenton to the fact that several ralroad companes whose passenger earnngs had passed the lmt fxed by the htw for a decrease n passenger rates had, after demand for such decrease had been made by proper state authorty, been enabled to contnue to collect the hgher rate for several years pendng the fnal dsposal of an appeal to the courts. In that message, whle recognzng the rght of the companes to such appeal, I suggested that much of the ltgaton could doubtless be averted f there was enacted a law provdng that whenever the courts dd not sustan the appeal of the company n such cases, sad companes be requred to pay nto the state treasury an amount equal to twce the excess of passenger fares collected durng the pendency of the cases n court. Xhe rase whch was the cause for the recommendaton of two years ago s stll undecded and the company In queston Is stll collectng the hgher rate. I, therefore, renew the recommendaton just mentoned. The presence of lobbysts, ether prvate ndvduals or heads of state nsttutons or departments, should not be tolerated, the message says. Governor Warner concludes by prasng the conduct of the state offcals, sayng that they have been fathful, energetc and capable n the dscharge of ther dutes. He renews hs promse to devote hs best efforts to the nterests of the cltzenshld of the state. Pugnacous Tuesday.

He consdered that Brlgham was unduly surprsed by the occurrence; almost dspleased n fact; Bhowlng a tendency to attrbute the day's" good fortune to phenomena wholly natural. AttlMgh the mracle had seemed to Alan a emal, smple thng, he now felt % lttle ashamed of hs performance.

By the frst of June they had wormed ther way over'500 mles of plan to the tradng post of Fort Larame. Here they were at last forced to cross the Platte and to take up ther march along the Oregon tral. They were now n the land of alkalne deserts, of sage brush and greabewood, of sad, bleak, deadly stretches; a land where the favor of Heaven mght have to be called upon f they were to Burvve. Yet t was a land not wthout nspraton, a land of mmense dstances, of long, dm perspectves, and of dreamy vsons n the far, vague haze. In such a land, thought Joel Rae, the sprt of the Lord must draw closer to the chldren of earth. \ -) >, CHAPTER X. The Promsed Land. So far on ther march the Lord had protected them from all but ordnary hardshps. True, some members of the company had suffered from a fever whch they attrbuted to the clouds of dust that enveloped the column of wagons wheel n moton, and to the great change of temperature from day to nght Agan, the most of them were for many weeks wthout bread, savng for the sck the lttle flour they had and subsstng upon the meat provded by the hunters. Before reachng Fort Larame, too, ther stock had become weakened for want of food; an extended drought, the vast herds of buffalo, and the Indan fres havng combned to destroy the pasturage. Ths weakness of the anmals made the march for many days not more than fve or sx mles a day. At the teat they had fed to the stock not only all ther gran but the most of ther crackers and other breadstuff's. But these were slght matters to a persecuted people gatherng out of Babylon. Late In June they reached the South Pass. For many hundred mles they had been clmbng the backbone of the contnent Now they had reached the summt, the dvdng rdge between streams that flowed to the Atlantc'and stream* that flowed to the Pacfc. From the level prares they had toled up nto the fearsome Rockes where bleak, grm crags lowered upon them from afar, tthd dstant summts glstenng wth snow warned them of fte perls ahead. k-^ «** " * /Throgfc all tna txmf of mareba*; tfe* place whew they should ptch the tent of {srael was not fxed ^pos» When*. Brtgnam ^xaa questoned arolnd the camp-fre at nght; ht only reply was that he would know the ste of ther new home when be saw t And t came to be told among the men that he had beheld n vson a tent settlng down from heaven and restng over a certan spot; and that a voce bad sad to hm, "Here s the place where my people Israel shall ptch ther tenta and spread wde the curtans of Zlont" It was enough. He would recognse the spot when they reached It From the trappers, scouts, and gudes encountered along the road they had receved much advce as to elgble locatons; and whle ths was varous as to stes recommended, the opnon had beep unanmous that the Salt Lake valley was mpossble. It was, they were told, sandy, barren, ranless, desttute of tmber and vegetaton, nfested wth hordes of hungry crckets, and roamed over by bands of most savage Indans. In short, no colony could endure there. They dared not, Indeed, go to a fertle land, for there the Gentles would be tempted to follow them wth the old bloody end. Only n a desert such as these men had descrbed the Salt Lake valley to bo could they hope for peace. From Fort Brdger, then, ther route bent to the southwest along the rocky spurs of the Untah mountans, whose snowclad topb gleamed a blush whte n the July sun. By the mddle of July the vanguard of the company began the descent of Echo canyon, a narrow slt cut straght down a thousand feet nto the red sandstone, the pass whch a handtful of them was to hold a few years later aganst a whole army of the hated Gentles. The hardest part of ther Journey was stll before them. Ther road had now to be made as they went, lyng wholly among the mountans. Lofty hlls, deep ravnes wth jagged sdes, forbddng canyons, all but mpassable streams, rock-bound and brush-choked, up and down, through or over all these obstacles they had now to force a passage, cuttng here, dggng there; now double-lookng the wheels of ther wagons to prevent ther crashng down some steep nclne; now puttng fve teams to one load to haul t up the rock-strewn sde of some waterway. From Echo canyon they went down the Weber, then toward East canyon, a dozen of the bearded host gong forward wth spades and axes as sappers. Sometmes they made a mle n fve hours; sometmes they were less lucky. But at length they were lghtng ther way up the choked East canyon, startng ferce gray wolves from ther lars n the rocks and hearng at every rod of ther hardfought way the Bwft and unnervng song of the coled rattlesnake. Eght fearful mles they tolled through ths gash n the mountan; then over another summt Bg :-V >wn ths au wheels a«bl«-jocked; on to the summt of another lofty MIL Lttle mountan; and abruptly down agan nto the rook gorge afterward* to become hstorc a» Immgraton canyon, Followng down ths gorge, never doubtng they should come at last to ther haven," they found ts mouth to be Impassable. Rocks, brush, and tmber choked the way. Crossng to the south sde, they went sheerly up the steep hll so steep that t was all but mpossble fot the stranng anmals to drag up the heavy wagons, and so narrow that a falsa step mght have dashed wagon and team half a thousand feet on to the rocks below. But at last they stood on the summt, and broke nto shouts of rapture as tbey looked. For the wlderness home of Israel had been found. Far and wde below then stretched ther promsed land a broad, open.valley hemmed n by hgh mountans that lay cold and far and stll n the blue base. Some of these had slept snce the world began under ther canopes of snow, and these flashed a sunlt glory nto the eager eyes of the plgrms. Others reared bare, scathed peaks above slopes that were shaggy wth tmber. And out n front lay the wondrous lake a sheld of deepest gltterng turquols held to the dull, gray breast of the valley. Agan and agan they cred out: "Hoeanna to God and the Lamb!" and "Down, Down on Your Knees and Pray." many of the bearded host shed tears, for the hardshps of the way had weakened them. Then Brlgham came, lyng pale and wasted n hs wagon, and when they saw hm gaze long, and heard hm fnally say: "Enough drve on!" they knew that on ths mornng of July 24, 1847, they had found the spot where n vson he had seen the tent of the Lord come down to earth. There on the summt they knelt to entreat the mercy of God upon the land. The next day, by ther leader's drecton, they consecrated the valley to the Lord, and planted sx acres of potatoes. CHAPTER XI. Another Mracle and a Temptaton n the Wlderness. The floor of the valley was an ard waste, flat and treeless, a far sweep of gray and gold, of sage-brush spangled wth sunflowers, patched here and there wth glstenng beds of salt and soda, or pools of the deadly alkal. Here crawled the lzard and the rattlesnake; and there was no musc to the desolaton save the petulant chrp of the crcket At the sdes an occasonal stream tumbled out of the mountans to be all but drunk away at once by the thrsty sands. Along the banks of these was the only green to be found, sparse frnges of wllow and wld rose. On the borders of the valley, where the steeps arose, were lttle patches of purple and dusty brown, oak-bush, squaw-berry, a few dwarfed cedars, and other scant growths. At long ntervals could he found a auuna «t ws«*raa*,,or a few acre? of wthered bunch-grass. But these served, Pftfe to*,oanphastoe the prevajlta* desert tones. The BQjtejaked earth was so bard that ltf broke th** pkjw 1 when-they tred t* - turn '*&? * Not untl' they had spread water upon t from the rver they had named Jordan 1 could the plows* to used Such was the new Canaan, the land held n reserve by the Lord for Hs chosen people snce the foundatons of the world were lad. Dreary though t was, they were elated. Had not a Hoses led them out of bondage up nto ths chamber of the mountans aganst the day of wrath that was to consume the Gentle world? And would he not smte the rocks for water?" Would he not also be a Joshua to st n judgment and dvde to Israel hs nhertance? They wated not nor demurred, but fell to work. Wthn a week they had explored the valley and ts canons, made a road to the tmber eght mles away, bult a saw-pt, sawed lumber for a skff, plowed, planted, and rrgated half* a hundred acrea of the parched sol, and begun the erecton of many dwellngs, some of logs, some of adobes. Ground had also been chosen and consecrated by Brlgham, whereon, n due tme, they would buld up ther temple to the God of Jacob. Meantme, they would contnue to gather out of Babylon. Durng the late summer and fall many wagons arrved from the Mssour, so that by the begnnng of wnter ther number was nearly 2,000. They lved rudely, a lucky few n the huts they had bult; more n tents and wagon-boxes. Nor dd they fal to thank Provdence for the mld wnter vouchsafed to them durng ths unprotected perod, permttng them not only to survve, but to contnue ther labors of loggng, home-buldng, the makng of rough furnture, and the reparng of wagons and tools. When the early sprng came they were agan quckly at the land wth ther seeds. Over 5,000 acres were sown to needful produce. When ths began to sprout wth every promse of a full harvest ther joy was bound less; for ther stock of breadstuffs and provsons had fallen low durng the wnter, and could not last later than harvest-tme, even wth rgd economy But early n June, n the full flush of ths sprngtde of promse, t ap peared that the Lord was mnded tc chasten them. For nto ther broad, green felds came the ravenous crckets In wde, black streams down the mountan sdes. Over the growng gran they spread as a pall, and the tender sprouts were*consumed to the ground. In ther track they left no stalk nor growng blade. Starvaton now faced the Sants. In ther panc they sought to fght the all-devourng pest. Whle some went wldly through the felds kllng the crckets, others ran trenches and tred to drown them. Stll others beat them back wth stcks and brooms, or burned them by fres set n the felds But aganst the oncomng horde these efforts were unavalng. Where hundreds were destroyed hundreds of thousands appeared. Despar sezed the Sants, the btter despar of a cheated, famshed people deluded even by ther God. In ther shorn felds they wept and " l " c V Lentl she was all a Gypsy brown, and knowng at last they could not stay cursed the rg er movemen t s 0 f a Gypsy grace n pest. Then nto the felds came Joel Rae rebukng the frenzed men and women. The lght of a hgh fath was upon hm as he called out to them: "Have I not preached to you all wn ter the way to salvaton n tmes lke ths? Does fath mean one thng n my mouth and another thng here' Why waste yourselves wth those foolsh trcks of fre and water? They only make you forget Jehovah you fools you poor, blnd fools to palte so He!*» rased hs voce, and the won derng group about hm grew large. "Down, down on your knees antf pray pray pray! I tell you the Lord shall not suffer you to persh!" =, Than, a» bet *s* er two obeyed M 8o your heart* have been, Ju**V eoed? Then my-tbrn prayer shattatve) you!" Down, he kneu^ln the mjuut-of the group, whle they Instnctvely drew back from hm on all ades. But as hs voce rose, a voce that had never faled to move them, they, too, began to kneel, at frst those near hm, then others back of them, untl a hundred knelt about hm. He bad not observed them, but wth eyes closed he prayed on, pourng out hs heart n pentent supplcaton. As hs words rang out, there had been quck, low, startled murmurs from the kneelng group about hm; and now loud shouts nterrupted hs prayer. He opened hs eyes, From off toward the lake great flocks of gulls had appeared, whtenng the sky. and now dullng all other sounds wth the beatng, of ther wngs and ther hgh, plantve cres. Quckly they settled upon the felds n swrlng drfts, so that the land all about lay whte as wth snow. A groan went up: They wll fnsh what the crcket* have left." He had rsen-to bs feet lookng latently. Then he gave an exultant shout "No! No! they are eatng only the crckets I the whte brds are devourng the black pests; the hosts of heaven and hell have met and the powers of lght have trumphed once more over darkness! Pray pray now wth all your hearts n thanksgvng for ths mercy!" And agan they knelt many wth streamng eyes, whle he led them n a prayer of grattude for ths wondrous mracle. All day long the whte brds fed upon the crckets, and when they left at nght the harvest had been saved. Thus had Heaven vouchsafed a second mracle to the Lute of the Holy Ghost It s small wonder then f hs vewb of the esteem n whch he was held by that power were now greatly enlarged. In August, thanks to the Heavensent gulls, they were able to celebrate wth a feast ther frst "Harvest Home." In the center of the bg stockade a bowery was bult, and under ts shade tables were spread and rchly laden wth the frst fruts ther labors had won from the desert whte bread and golden butter, green corn, watermelons, and many varetes of vegetabj$j3. Hosted on poles for exhbton'- we#e mmense sheaves of wheat, rye, barley, an* oats, coaxed from the ard level wth the water they had cunnngly spread upon t There were prayers and publc thanksgvng, songs and speeches and dancng. It was the flush of ther frst trumph over the desert. Untl nghtfall the festval lasted, and at ts close Elder Rae stood up to address them on the subject of ther past trals and present blessngs. The slence was nstant, and the faces were all turned eagerly upon hm, for t was begnnng to be suspected that he had more than even prestly power. When he was done many pressed forward to take hs hand, the young and the old, for they had both learned to reverence flm. Near the outer, edge of the throng was a red-lpped Juno, superbly rounded, who had gleaned n the felds ther freeness. She dd notj greet the young Elder as dd the othws, seemng, ndeed, to be unconscous of hs presence. Yet she lngered near as they scattered off nto the dusk, n lttle groups or one by one; and stll she stood there when all were gone, now venturng just a glance at hm from deep gray eyes set under black brows, turnng her splendd head a lttle to brng hm nto vew. He saw the fgure and came forward, peerngly. "Mara Cavan yes, yes, so t s!" He took her hand, somewhat tmdly, an observer would have sad. "Your father s not able to be out? I shall walk down wth you to see hm f you're ready now." (TO BE CONTINUED.) hm, ONLY A TEMPORARY CRAZE Plgrms From "the Other Sde" Lapse Into "Unted States" Agan. Recurrent perl, threatenng our Amercan speech, becomes mmnent about ths tme of year. For there now returns from "the other sde" the traveler, rather more lkely to be femnne, who, swollen wth the prde of her frst ocean voyage, havng stuffed her trunk to burstng wth dutable artcles, gets even wth a meddlesome -government by smugglng n a warranted Brtsh accent for herself and famly. Upon her avd tongue such useful lttle words as "were" and "been," "suffer a seachange nto somethng rch and strange," approxmatng respectvely the verb of garmentuse and the popular name of a common vegetable.

The Unknown ass a [Orgnal.] I was sttng one evenng n the parquet of a theater In New York when I notced a young lady n a box n the second ter lookng at me. When I fxed my eyes upon her she turned hers Away, but when a few mnutes luter I looked at her agan I saw that ebe was regardng me through a lorgnette. She lowered her glass and turned away wth a look whch ndcated ether repulson, dsappontment or pan. It mght have been any of these, but I could not tell whch. My curosty was at once aroused. I dd not remember to have ever seen tbe lady before and certanly had no knowledge of havng njured her. Be? fore the close of the last act I left the theater and stood on the sdewalk watng for her to come out. She dd so In company wth an elderly gentleman and lady. As soon as they entered ther carrage I went across the street where mne stood ready and enterng told tbe drver to follow. The party alghted at a house on Madson avenue, the number of whch I noted, then drove away thnkng of some plan to solve the mystery. Before reachng home I bad resolved to wrte a note to the lady and send t next day. Ths Is what I wrote: Mr. Royal Prltchard present* hla complments to the young lady he saw at the theater last evenng and who gave evdence that n some way her antagonsm had been excted aganst hm. As be does not remember ever havng Sees her before, he begs-an explanaton. If he has been mstaken n hs Inference, he apologses for addressng her. I sent the note by a messenger who on returnng sad that he bad been told If there was any reply It would be sent later. I wated three days and was about to gve up all hope of recevng any word when a note came whch read as follows: Snce Mr. Prtchard has entrely forgotten the lady he saw at the theater, he need not gve hmself any concern wth regard te her. It s needless to say that I read these few words wth astonshment It was plan to me that I had been mstaken for some one else. However, I dd not care to have the error uncorrected and wrote agan, statng that ters must be some msapprehenson as to my Identty and beggng permsson to call and clear up the matter. To ths I receved a reply that the name I had gven n my notes was the same as that of tbe person I was supposed to be; therefore there could not possbly be any mstake. The lady dd not care to renew the acquantance of one who had pad her the hghest complment man could pay to woman and then forgotten that he had ever met her. I began to feel that I must have passed through some Illness or met wth some accdent that had Impared my memory. I asked several persons who had seen me nearly every day for years f ths was the case and got laughed at for my pans. I confded my correspondence to my sster, but all the sympathy I got from her was, "That's just lke a man for all the world." I was about to wnte one more note Inqurng for the lady's name, but my sster, who knew the trcks and manners of the sex, told me the grl was teasng mo and would gve me no satsfacton; that If I wanted to clear up the nalter I bad better call and call! agan and agan tll I had seen and talked wth my tormentor. j Had the grl been unattractve I mght have dropped the matter. On the contrary, her Image that of a grl wth u face denotng character as well as beng pretty seemed to grow upon me, and I was lterally beng teased nto a condton borderng on the tender passon. Summonng all my courage, I called upon the grl and sent up my card. An answer came that the young lady was not at home. Ths mght mean tha she was not at home to me or that she was really out I called twce more on her, and each tme receved some message that put me off wthout twng a postve refusal. Fnally, on my thrd call, she came Into the room and stood regardng me wth what she Intended to be a haughty stare. Nevertheless I fanced I could see a sparkle In her eye. "I beg of yon," I sad, ''cease ths torment, whch has become unbearable. If, as you say, I have known and forgotten you It must be through some physcal defect on my part, for In health I am sure I could never forget havng once seen you." "Dd you not once lve n B.r she asked. "Yes; when a boy." "And go to the hgh school there r "Tea." "And dd you not carry books for Dolly Farlegh, a lttle grl eght years four junor?"

I fst sank on a sofa wth a delghted tackle, and I sat down besde her. When she saw me at the theater she tt once suspected who I was and was about to haaard a bow when she per eelved that I dd not recognle her. Sfee turned away, rememberng that she sad been starng at a man who mght, fter all, he a stranger to her. It was Ibe look that accompaned ths realzaton that I had nterpreted as somethng more serous. All doubt of my Identty sad only been removed at the recept»f the note gvng my damp. I I atoned for my mperfect memory gy a lfetme of devoton. BDWABD B. LINCOLN. F:od ^on't dgest?

The Mchgan Assocaton. of Judges closed a most profltawe sesson wth the electon of Judge Davs, of Iona, presdent; Judge WIest, of Lansng, vce presdent, and Judge Chester, of Hllsdale, secretary and treasurer. Myron H. Walker, of Grand Rapds, In 8 paper, sad judges should exercse more of ther powers outsde the court as conservators of the peace, sayng they could not dsclam responsblty for non-enforcement of law wthn ther crcuts. Justce Grant had spoken along the same lne, and the queston of what powers they had n that drecton aroused a dscusson, resultng n the appontment of a commttee to report next year. In the course of the talk on the subject, Judge Smth, of Pontac, expressed a wllngness to call a grand jury whenever he beleved the occason requred, but expressed, objecton to the acton of one of the supreme court judges In wrtng letters nto hs crcut, sayng that a grand jury should be cajjed. He ddn't say to whch justce he referred. Judge Nelson Sharpe, of West Branch, advocated the repeal of Act.309 of the last sesson, whch practcally took from judges the pewerto use dscreton n grantng changes of cvenue. Talk-of Ralroad Legslaton. Several representatves regard the street ralway supervson clause of the governor's message as pontng the wayto state control nstead of local franchses. The^ame representatves commented on the merts of the street ralway state law of Massachusetts. [The latter gves.; to a commsson of busness men-apponted by the governor the rght to wthdraw the prvlege to operate from the company at any tme. It provdes that after allowng the company a far rate of n^rest on ts actual nvestment, the excess must be used for Improvements to the servce, and any sum not so requred goes to the treasury of the muncpalty where the company operates. It lmts the bonded ndebtedness per mle of trackage, contans a muncpal purchase clause and controls the rate of fare under certan condtons. These are provsons whch a/ew representatves were heard dscussng wth favor. The governor's reccommendatlon s that street ralways be requred to make full reports to the* state authortes, and that the ralroad commssoner should have supervson of street ralways as he has of steam ralroads. He calls attenton to the fact that electrc ralways are extended nto many parts of the state. Ths clause of hs message s regarded by many legslators as of very great mportance. It s ponted out that the word "supervson", nvolves the enactment of general regulatons concernng the operaton of street ralways n every muncpalty. AM Dscuss Senatorshp. Corrdors of the Downey house have been jammed to the lmt of standng room wth representatves, senators and frends of the senatoral canddates It s well that the senatoral queston s to be dsposed of early, because t flls the mnds of the legslators. Nothng else s dscussed, nor 'Wll be dscussed, untl a successor of tjen. Russell A. Alger has been selected. Groups of three," four and fve are closely crowded by other groups and n low, earnest tones the all-absorbng ssue s beng thrashed out. All are Alumn Memoral at U. of M. Prelmnary sketches of the Alumn Memoral buldng, Unversty of Mchgan, are, gong forth to every land and clme. A crcle of nterest wll be completed, reachng round the.world. Mchgaa has graduates wherever the sun rses. To these men, everywhere, wll come at ths tme a broad suggeston for the alma mater. The Memoral buldng wll be of buff stone, wth broad grante steps and landngs. It wll be fashoned en the massve Greek styfe, but wth the lghtness and grace, as well as soldty, of Greek memorals. Somethng n the very outlnes wll suggest the strength and loyalty of men of Mchgan. _ The buldng wll be a lastng gft from the past to the present; Unkng forgotten generatons of students wth the yokng men now on the pampas So, nfluences long past wll contnue to foster a noble usefulness. But the Memoral buldng Is to be more than a mere nspraton. It wll HO a daly need n 'college lfe for students, faculty", alumn and frends. Perpetual care and mantenance Is guaranteed by the board of regents. At the recent banquet of the Alumn assocaton a specal commttee was apponted, consstng.of Henry jyrussel, charman, Wetmore Hunt and Harlow P. Dtavock, who wll make a systematc canxass of' the $ trot alumn. When t s consdered that ths s the frst movement on,t^a part of the alumn at large m f»akpg a substantal gft to.jw^;^«p»r«we and when the amount requred s so moderate In comparson* to^. gjjtts of alumn of o(ber unverstes and colleges, the abundant success of the enterprse cannot be doubted. A emal amount f rom each almnus wll speedly solve the problem Sensaton n Senatoral Conttst The Republcan legslatve caucus met Jan. 2, but, contrary to expectatons, made no sejsejljaw-fdrv Unted States senator. Adjournment- was taken for a week, and In the meantme sensatonal charges of corrupton In connecton wth the'caucts'nomnaton wll be thraehed out. Governor Warner, n a statement sent from hs sckbed at Farmngton, accuses Arthur Hll of Sagnaw, one of the four Republcan, canddates for senator, of questonable methods. Congressman Charles E.. Townsend of Jackson, Congressman Wllam Alden Lmlth of Grand RapMs, and Wllam C. M& Mllan of Detrot, son of former Unted States Senator James McMllan, are the three canddates n addton to Mr. Hll. Hll s sad to have made a combnaton wth State Ralroad Commssoner Atwood. Governor Warner's statement arragns Hll's methods and-says: "For some tme there have been rumors, some of whch at least deserve careful nvestgaton before they are dsmssed, that there have been mproper methods used n advancng hs canddacy. I have heard more of these rumors from Mr. Atwood than from any other person. I beleve the people of ths state would, f gven an opportunty unte wth me n my desre to rebuke such alleged methods." s sad to have receved the favorable attenton of Gov. Warner. The bll orgnally provded for two addtonal lookng" for "nformaton's Vo" thel J udges but at - "» suggeston of the Strength of ther respectve canddates. Many are outspoken concernng for Whom they slall vote. Many, too, are non-commttal.. These latter make the result of the contest utterly mpossble of predcton. The only apparent dfference here s that many legslators have come here pledged to ther electorate to support a certan canddate. They openly tell where they stand. But there are others who have not made such announcements and hence the uncertanty. All of the senatoral canddates were on hand early wth the excepton of W. C. McMllan, of Detrot, word beng receved that he s confned to hs bed wth an acute attack of la grppe. Bg Plans For M. A. C. Fete. Arrangements are progressng toward makng the sem-centennal celebraton of the foundng of the Mchgan Agrcultural college a very notable affar. Presdent Roosevelt" wll be present and at a meetng of the executve commttee t was de- 'Cded to hold the nmral meetng of Amercan agrcultural colleges here at that tme. Between 200 and 300 leadng educators of the country are expected to be present. For More Crcut Judges.' The frst bll that has been drafted affectng the nterests of Detrot s one ncreasng the nuumber of crcut Judges from sx to seven. The matter governor the number was reduced. It was known that when the bll s passed the governor wll appont Attorney George B. Yerkes to the place, watng untl after the sprng electon to do so, whch wll gve Mr. Yerkes a year and a half on the bench before the next general electon. Desres of State Grange. The executve commttee of the State Grange decded to nstruct the legslatve commttee of the order to make an effort to secure the enactment of a statewde prmary electon law compulsory on all poltcal partes, and the passage of a law provdng for a non-partsan consttutonal conventon of delegates to be elected and not apponted. Efforts to promote the drect legslaton program of the Grange wll also be made. Mears Becomes Deputy. #Becretary of State Prescott has apponted Clarence J. Mears, of Kalamazoo, deputy secretary of state to succeed Charles & Perce, who becomes clerk of the house durng the sessons of the legslature. Mears has been chef clerk of the department for the past two years. > AN IMPOfTAKT CASE PaUsM Cured a* Iftttw Credt to Or. Pnk Plls. Oyet-th* llllem* Krs. f.

Then I learnod that I was sufferng from locomotor ataxa. I had terrble tremblngs m my rght leg whch would get rgd and when ths happened n the street I aad to stand stll untl t passed away to keepjrom fallng. My rght arm felt as f a thousand needles were prckng It. The sheet touchng my knee 4n bed would nearly cause me to scream out wth pan and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand. "I had to use a cane and be helped about by my on. Then the pan began to settle n the calves of my legs and the muscles became numb and quvered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up tght and the terrble shootng pans In my legs would nearly drve me n* ssne.

Travelers through the Syran desert have seen horses weep from thrst, s mule has been seen to cry from, the pan of an njured foot and camels, t s sad, shed tears n Btreams, says a wrter n Harper's Weekly. A cow sold by ts mstress who had tended young Boko ape used to cry from vexaton f Lvngston ddn't nurse t n bs arms when t asked hm to. Wounded apes have ded cryng, and apes have wept over ther young slan by hunters. A chmpanzee traned to carry water Jugs broke one and fell a-cryng, whch proved sorrow, though t wouldn't mend the Jug. Rats, dscoverng ther young drowned, have been moved to tears. A graffe whch a huntsman's rfle had njured began to cry when approached. Sea lons often weep over the loss of ther young. Gordon Cummngs observed tears trcklng down the face of a dyng elephant. And even an orangoutang when deprved of ks mango was so vexed that t took to weepng. There s lttle doubt, therefore, that anmals do cry from gref or weep from pan or annoyance. Safe, Sure and Speedy. No external remedy ever yet devsed has so fully and unquestonably met these three prme condtons as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contan no deleterous drugs and are manufactured upon scentfc prncples of medcne. They are sure because nothng goes nto them except ngredents whch are exactly adapted to the purposes for whch a plaster s requred. They are speedy n ther acton because ther medcnal qualtes go rght to ther work of relevng pan and restorng the natural and healthy performance of the functons of muscles, nerves and skn. Allcock's Plasters are the orgnal and genune porous plasters and lke most mertorous artcles have been extensvely Imtated, therefore always make sure and get the genune. French Presdent's Double. M. Palleres was untl recently beleved to be the only presdent of the French republc who had no double, but hs counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles hm physcally s a respectable merchant of the Rue Sant Honore, who plays hs part wth decorum and dgnty. Ho wears exactly the same knd of blue butterfly neckte wth whte dots as the presdent, the same knd of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on hs promenades he s always accompaned by a frend who could easly be taken for the presdent's prvate secretary. Dgnfed and wth measured steps the envable double walks through the Faubourg Sant Honore and feels overjoyed at beng saluted on all sdes. We daly nfluence each other fo good or evl.

Comment That Stuat> The marqus of Lansdown, leader of unonst peers n the Brtsh parlament, speaks rarely but always wth effect He revels n grave sarcasm. On one ocaslon Lord Crewe, the lberal leader, made a speech on a subject whch he desred to leave a matter for open votng among hs followers. Lord Lansdowne congratulated hs frend on hs eloquent speech. "I have followed t," he sad, "wth earnest attenton not only on account of the mportance of the subject but also on account of the noble lord's judcal atttude. I admred hs earnestness and eloquence, but what mpressed me most was hs mpartalty." A pause. "Yea, untl the last mnute I dd not know on whch sde of the fence hs lordshp was comng down."

MANY 80URCE8 OF SALT, That from Natural Sprngs It Generally Moat Nearly Pure. The purty of salt depends upon the source from whch t s obtaned and the santary condtons- under whch t s prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most ndspensable of all the seasonng substances both as a relshng condment and a well-ngh unversal food preservatve, s exhaustless, yet even so there s salt and salt, says the Pctoral Revew. Formerly salt was obtaned by evaporatng 'ocean water, a process that left many mpurtes n the resduum, to say nothng of ts exposure to all knds of drt n ts shpment from seaports.

Upon ts arrval t s agan handled, then packed n coarse burlap bags, permttng dust to sft nto the salt. In ths condton t reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt sprngs has largely taken the lead n ths country not only for table salt but for meat packng. The annual producton from ths source n the Unted States reaches more than 40,- 00,000 bushels, the state of New York n the vcnty of Syracuse, furnshng a large proporton of ths mportant supply. -" \ NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Health.
