Kent County Heavy Snow F—— Persons driving out of Grand Rap-

ids on any of the ma in Kent county roads a f t e r this week*s heavy snow-fall have enjoyed n big surprise— they have found the roads sa fe r and more f r e e of snow nnd ice than most of the ci ty streets.

This condition h a s been due to the enterprise and energy of the Kent county road commission forces which started on n systematic clean-ing of t h e main roads as soon as the storm hnd subsided. The i r success is n splendid augury fo r road ser-vice dur ing the coming winter months. The snowfal l was a s heavy a s any experienced in Kent county last w in te r and yet the trunk h ighways were cleared so that t ravel has been as safe and sane a s unhampered as in the sum-mer t ime.

Besides keeping traffic open the clearing of the roads is proving of advantage in avoiding the usual winter ruttiim of the roods. This is exempUfiea on a t r ip f r o m Grand R>iuds into adjoin ing counties where the road commissioners have not been so alert .

Traveling f rom Grand Rapids to Greenville by way of Rockford, f o r instance, an auto can make practic-ally as good time over the cleared roads to the Montcalm county l ine as tney can in the summer time and the going is all that could be ex-pected.

t 'pon entering Montcalm county uncleared roads a re struck. There the autos travel in snow ruts. These snow ruts have worn down to the gravel and broken into i t , the de-structive work being hastened by

not IntensilUnl in any one spot anil the rut t ing Is not so serious. Near Greenville on Fr iday the road forces were at work wi th scrapers with consequent benetit to travel cundi-Hons. Ordinari ly the Montcalm county road into Greenville is ex-cellent gravel.

Official figures given out by the Kent county road commission Sat-urday mornihg showed the cost of clearing the roads of snow. On Kalamasoo-av. the cost was *3 per " I r . u , , n Hie snow completely « * •.!* concrete roadway.

Until this instant Eiizalieth Little-ferd had been a s one froceen. hud bt-en M * figure curved in stone. Now she sprang to her feet and went between Merelend and his ancient enemy.

Now d-d-don't go and s-s-spoil it alL to' God's sake!**

The big mountnlneer'e eyes were wide with amazement, for Kliznbeth Llttleford's every word had home the ring of truth. lie was t«»o dazed to understand her allusion to l!ill Dale as his old eneihy's S4Hi. The rllle came hsck from across the pallnus. and Itn steel-shod butt found a place in the enow beside John Morclnnd's foot.

Slowly Jnliii K. Dale arose and drew close to him, nnd then from John K. Dale's soul came pouring the pent-up anguish of remorse that had seared It through the years. The tor-rent of words flowed on. while the mountaineer stoixl rigidly recardlng him with a strange ll sht in his plerc-lag eyes.

Ml can't osk you to forgive me." Dale finished hrokcnly. ' i don't »*i-pect forgiveness; my crime was Iimi greet, hut nin't you, tor the Mike of the hoy, let me keep on trying to atone for my sin?"

John Moreland looknl long and eearchin^ly into the face of the plead-ing man before him. The hitter •truggle that was jroing on within him was mirrored on his ruuged c«itin-tenance. Hut gmduaUy the hittentess faded; his huge frame trembled; he put a band siowly down on the other's shoulder.

T h e boy." he muttered—MDltl l>ale: Is he yore hoy ? Yore name was Car-Vie then—"

"My lM)y. yes—my hoy. mil Dak. Carlyle Is an old family name. My fsther was at the head of a big coal concern; he sent me down here in-cognito to get a line on the Moreland tela. Mtiylie tie thought the price wouJd he iduh if It were known that he wanted i t ; I don't know. I—| can't remember."

Ben Llttleford's daughter was watching closely, hoping against hope, praying to lonven with all h«*r Lr r t ; sod then slie saw Julut K. Dale put his right hand up to John Morcland's hand, take If 4iiid pr«>ss It—nnd she aaw John Moreland. his bearded mouth jerklni;, give the answering

Sguee/.e that meant something very akin to forgivennss.

She ran out at the gate, ran up to the giant hiiiman and (Kit her arms around his neck; she drew his great brown head down and kissed him i h i the cheek. And John Moreland let his rifle fall unnoticed tu K t i n W |

put his arms around her shoulders as though she wore his own duuuhter, hewed bis h.*ad nnd sohl>ed out a few words site did not undorstand.

After Ben Llttleford had haftlngty condacted (Smlly pray-ers—snd In thla he mentloacd even the Bal!s, Turners and Torreys—Bill Dale hade them ell good night and started for bis office ta sleep, rolled In s blanket on the floor. There wae a lade of beds at Ben Llttleford's that night.

A little later, John Moreland drew old Ben out to the cabin yard. The skies were dear , snd the moon wss shining brightly: everywhere there was beauty and peacefulness.

•'Ben," softly. "I've got to bother ye a minute, as late as it is. I wanted ye to find me a hammer and a chisel and a ?nntern."

"I've got em all three right thar In the house." replied Llttleford. "But what'n the name o* Tonnent and thunderation do ye want with a ham-mer and a chisel and a lantern, John, old friend T*

The answer came straightforwardly. It was the Moreland way.

"I'm a goin* up thar to whar pore David he's burled s t . snd cut off some them letters offen the stone. Ben. 1 caln't sleep ontel it's done. You can guess what J •art f ro a-goin' to cut off. caln't y e r

"Yes," said Llttleford. "Bahe told me about what happened up thar afore dark. And I'm |iow'fuI glad ye're a-goln' to do It, John, old triend."

He went with Moreland to the little enclosure on the highest point of David M«reland's mountain. He held the lighted lantern while Moreland worked. They were there for hours.

When the work was finished David Moreland's brother arose from his knees in the snow, put the hammer and the chisel into his pocket, and spread open ids cold, cramited fingers.

The answer came q* 'ckly: "Never." "Never!" "Never." repeated Klizalieth, very

quietly. "Never?" pursued Dale. "Never!" cried Elizabeth, exasper-

ated. "Ihstdness!" laughed Dale. "You're

dramatic, or vehement, or both. May 1 walk home with you. Babe?*'

"Yes. sir,* promptly. "If you want to."

They set out across the snow-cov-ered meadows, and neither spoke an-other word until they bud readied IUmi Llttleford's log hoiiNe. The girl looked at him queerly a s they en-tered. After he knew—

Old Dale still sat before the fire, and near him sat silent John More-Uind. Old Ihile motioned toward en inside d»M»r.

"Mease cio.se It. KHzabetb." he re-quested. and she olieyed. "Now *t down. I've ^rot something to tell the three of you. And 1 fancy it wl'l :u-terest all of you."

The two who had Just come In took chairs nt the fireside. After a mo-ment. John K. Dale began:

Kllzabcth learned of it early on th» following morning. When breakfast was over, she whispered to .l< hn K. Dale that there was something she had 10 show him. She wouldn't tell him anything in advance. So he went with her to see for himself.

When at last they stoou inside the weatherbeaten palings, Klizaiietb pointed and said:

The ehiseling awa,' of the lower fiv*; linos had not only obliterated the curse: It hud left an aiimwt iierfect cross. Then John Morolnnd's bare, cold ami tireless hands had gone to work and mode it. 'n every respect, a perfect cross.

She felt In Ibe snow with both hands, uqd found more whlttllngs —there were bushels of whlttllngs. It seemed to her, lying there umler the snow.

Then she wondered—wondered who it could have been.

It was quite dark mm. but the moon was not yet up. A grent, bright atar blazed above Devld MorelamTe tomb like a lieacon Are. She heard the muf-i!ed sounds of slow masculine foot-steps in the snow behind her. She did not turn her liead. In her soul she knew it could be but one man.

Bill Dale's head was down, and he moved ss though he neither knew nor cared whither he went Then he saw tlie dark heap on the rlver'e hank be-fore him. and be halted. He knew lit his soul that it could be but one won.-an.

Dale went on and sat down on a stone the size of a small barrel that lay at the river'a rim.

"Babe?" he said. It waa the mating call of his heart in the springtime of ids life.

"Who d-done ell o* this whIttllo,, Hill?" askeif Kiizabeth.

"I did." softly. "But I thought you were so busy

"But I'm not busy on Sundays, y' know," replied Dale.

"Tell me this," Kiizabeth asked pointedly: "What mnde you come to this one spot to do your whittlin'? Couldn't you whittle up there in n ^ daddy's cabin yard'.'"

He answered her unhesitatingly: "Beeause 1 like to he here. Tills pluee is a shrine to me. It wns heie that I first loved you, ISabe. Now you tell me lids: Why did you come te this particular spot to sit down .11 1 he snow? There's snow in your dad-dy's cabin yard!"

Said Kiizabeth. in a voice that sound-ed Kiuothvred: "Because I like to be here—this place is a shrine to me. tiMr—it was here that I first loved you. Hill Dale!"

"Then why." he demanded, "won't you marry me?"

"Bemuse it was me that shot—Ad-am Ilull,-

Bill Dale shot e rec t Truly, this was a day of surprises for him. He stooped and caught her up.

"A real woman!" he said happily, straightening with her in his arms. "A real, all gold pure gold woman! You loved me well enough to kill a man to save me, and wouldn't let me know i t !

Now hie eyes wandered over the spece where were the grandllla. with lie blossom like e passion-flower, the black Tahiti plum, with Ita bright pink tassel-blossom, and the fine mango trees, londed half with fruit and half with bud. In tlie distance, were the guinea cornfields of brownish •hue, the cotton fields, the long ranges of negro houses like thatched cottages, the pen guln hedges, with their besutlful red, blue, snd white convolvuluses: the lime, logwood, snd bread-fruit trees, the avocado-pear, the feathery ham boo, and the Jack-fruit t ree; and be-tween the mountains and Ids own sugar estates, negro settlements and pens.

What was there to do? He was a dean-cut rogue. If ever there was mm, but a rogue of parts, s s be proved; and I lent an eer.

It weald not be an expensive business, b a t cheap aa It wes, he had no menne ef rnlsing cash for the purpose; srhlto I could, no doubt, raise the needed money If I aet aliont it.

-Why should I tell Blatt the truth shout myself? l ie knew I t CUssen-dro was an accomplished liar, and n man of merit of his kind. This obi-man's story I have never believed; yet bow came Blatt to know where that treasure-ship was I do not know now, while I em very rich because of It all.

-Yes, out we went through the har-bor of Kingston, beyond the splendid defenses of Tort I loyal and tlie men-of-war there, past the I'alUadoes and Rock fort, nnd away to the piece of treiiMire-trove. We found It—that loet galleon: and we found the treasure-box of the ceptuln's .*01110. We found gohl. too; but the treasure-box wes the chief thing; nnd we made It ours a f t e r many a hard day.

"How I Induced one of the big men of Jamaica to lie hanker and skipper for us need not he told; hut he Is one of whom men have dark sayings— chielly. i take it, bwause he does hold, iiicumpreheiisihle things. That busi-ness paid him well, for when the rent of tbe ship was met, and the few men on it paid—slaves they were chielly— he |Mickeled ten thousand |M»utids, while Blatt and I each pouched forty thousand, and Michael two thousand. Aye, to be sun', Michael was In It! l ie is in all I do, and Is ns good a s men of ten tlwea his girth snd history. Mi-chael will be a rich roan one day. In two years his two thoasand have grown to four, and be misses no chance.

-I 'm bound to aay this—one of the strulghtest men I ever met, liar with-al. was Cassandro Bla t t Ue t«>ok his Jewels and vanished ap tbe seas In a llourlsh. He would not even have an-other try nt tlie gold in tbe bowels of the ship.

•I've got plenty to nil my paunch, and I'll go while I've enough. It's tlie men that don't go In time that get left In the end'—that'a what ht said.

"And he was r ight ; for other thet went af ter the gold and got some 01 It. and were emight by Knnch and South American pimtea and lost nil they bad gained. Still Mother group went nnd brought nway ten thousand pounds, and lost it in fighting with Mimnlsh buccaneers.

-Paul ' s Couraaeous Testimony Before a Xlag.

I. Paul Refere Psetue (23:1-12). As soon a s Festus. tbe new gov-

ernor. goes to Jerusalem, he is be-sieged with sccusers sguinst Paul, and they desire that be be brought to Jerusakro for trial. Intending to He In wait and kill him on the way. Pestus refused their request, but agreed to give them an opportunity to eccuse Paul if they would go down tn Caesareu. They go. but nre unable to prove anything ngainst him. Fes-tus. willing to please tlie Jews, pro-poses to send him to Jerusalem for trial. For this Paul Issues a rebuke to Festus by asserting Ihj t he very well knew that he was Innocent. See-ing that it was Impossible to get Jus-tice before Festus. Paul makes use of his right as a Itoiniin citizen, end appeals to Caesar. Paul well knew thnt to go to Jerusalem meant death, nnd slnee Festus was too much of a time-server to release him when he knew that he was lunocent, he makes use of the radical step of appealing to Rome as tbe last resort. Festus seems to hnve been taken by surprise. His failure to release an innocent man had placed him in an awkward position, for he could give no explan-ation as to why an Innocent man should go to Home for trial. For a : man to apiienr before Caesar would east reflection upon .Festus. He now ; eonsulted his councii as to what to do, hut slnee the lloman law •rave ' every man the rl^?it of npj»eal to t?,e emperor, there was nothing left for him to do hut to grant bis request.

II. Paul Before Agrlppa (25:K1-20:27).

1. The occasion rKI-27). This was the visit of Aprlppa nnd Bernice I to Festus. Upon their arrival they [ exprexsed a desire to hoar Paul. | wliereupon Festus told them of his i perplexity; so It was arranged that Paul lie brought before them for ex- I erolnatlon.

2. Tlie defense (2r»:l 27). (1) The Introduetion (vv. 1-3). In this he ex- ; pressed his delight that he now could ; speak and tell his case to one who |

was able to follow his line of argu- | roent. for Agrlppa was an expert In j questions concerning the Jews; hut | most of nil he was now happy In that : he could witness to him of the Savior

"Some wight," retorted Miss John-son, tossing tier bead. I

Miss Johnson eaiue every day to at-tend to the professor's needs. Ue was iiiiitruelor iu Latin a t the college; Miss Elizabeth Johnson was the du tighter of a fellow professor who bad died impoverished. Miss Johnson might have beeu thirty-live.

"If 1 ever get married,"'mused the professor, a s he wandered in tlie dl reetion of the towu, "I should want a wife with light brown hair, blue eyes, aud—why, bless lue.**

He binsheil us he hurried along the street, for it hud suddenly occurred t o liitu that he was describing Miss Johnson.

"Hut I didn't mean anything. I as-sure you," he explained absently to himself. s»

"rieuse don't mention It," said pleusiint femule voice in l, s eur, und the professor started In surprise, to see that he wus looking into the fuee of a eonieiy young woniun who eurrled a hahy.

"I assure you no hunn bus been done," she said. "So If you will kindly hold my little girl a minute, everything will eome out all right." And she thrust u blinking bundle Into his units.

"Now I wonder what it was that 1 did," suggested the professor to him-self, hut there was no answer forth-eoniing,

"Hush, hush, baby," Implored the professor, dandling the Infant. "Go to sleep like a good boy—I ujean girl. Motlier will come by and by."

Ap|tareiitly this pros|ieet did not aet ns a soothing Ineentive, for the lift by liegan to howl. \ small boy ..Jeered a t him.

"It Itelongs to a woman," stammered Professor Harry. "I don't know iK-r."

"He's stolen It," shrieked an Irate lady ns she hnike her umbrella ui>on the professor's hut.

"(•Imme the ehlld," said the police* iiism, taking the screaming nnd fright-ened luiby from the professor's arms.

"Certainly,** said the professor cor-dially, divesting himself of his btir-•len happily and turning to dodge out of ihe crowd.

"Hey, where nre you going?" cried the ixilieeman. "You're coming with me. It 's piing to lie a cell for you."

"Hut a woman gave it to m e " plead-ed I'rofessnr Harry dismally.

"Tell that to the Judge, Are yoa eomiug qnlet ly, or--'*

Miss Johnson apiienred at the pollee* man's side.

"It's nil rluht,** she said, smiling. "Just a mistake, I 'mnk. This Is Pro* fessor Harry of whom I have often told you,"

"Then what's lie doing with a strange baby, miss?" imiulred the po-lleemtin dubiously.

MWhy, you foolish tniinj It isn't a straime baby, It's your liaby," said Miss Johnson, smiling. "Hou't you kni»w your own ehlld?"

ded he had never seen, aad for a minute or two he paused, screened by the leafy verduw. A girl, tall, fair, had filled her pitcher at the spring. Ere she took it up to carry It to the house, two hundred yards distant, she stood looking into the fac« uf the ra-diant sunset.

Her eye brightened as young Daw-gnu stepped into view.

"I start on my mission in the morn-ing," lie said. **11 will seem a lonely jnunt, more of a wilderness than ever after the beautiful daya 1 have passed in this haven of rest."

"My uncle lias told me/* said Eloise, and paused there and a faint film seemed to dim those beautiful eyea nnd a quiver crossed her face. ••He fears you are taking a dangerous risk, and 1—"

Apiin she paused. Her glanca dropped as Hurt approaehed nearer, ile hnd taken her shapely hand.

•'And youV" lie intimated gently, and his tones carried a tremulous thrill.

•:i hope i have not brought you ironhle." slie said wistfully, " l wish iluit you would not undertake this per-il, ms uiission." Her liunds began to trenible. and she placed them plead-ingly upon Ids arm. The tears came into her eyes.

His arm crept about her as she lift.'.) her glance. Slie eould not help Imt ie;i'i the earnest lovellght in his hoin'sf t-yes.

• I'.in t i;o." she \viiis|H»red. "Oil. ftM* my sake- le t me go: I dare not—

In ania/.enient Hurt felt her tear lierseli" from his i-lasp. saw her dart towards the lini.se like a hunted, H i Jiieiied hint. Then lie gave a quick start. Weaving his way in and out of ilu- dense underbrush, he made out a skulking f'trm.

Hurt had been sent hy ihe engineer-ing lirm employing hlni to inspect the district in eoiijuin-tien wilh a new ItriyMiion and railromi projeet. He had arrived at the border town »»f Fifield. okla., one week jircvious. It was neeessary for him to make in-quiries there before he (jroseeuted Ids journey. Ile had been dlrerted to Mr. Treherne. the unele of Khdse. who was aeqiiainted through the entire section. Ile had found him lo In* a former iiineraiit preacher, but now liviii- some miles from town and en-gnged in a small eooperage business. He ami his niece h'd the truly simple lite. Hurt had become their wel-come gnesi; the days had drifted on pleasantly.

One evening, however, Hurt had a foretaste of the people he was des-tined i" meet if lie nintiii|led on his Journey. Another uncle of Klolse, named .Mm Hi vers, accompanied by one .IciT Wadhams. eame down from "the bnd In lids." Hivi-is was voluble in Ids demnnd thnt his niece stiould spend imrt "f her time at Ids home over ihe border. Hurt even surmised that it was JetT Wadhams who was urg-ing Iiim lo this. Tlie eyes of the des-perado ti Id that he sought Klolse as t life pnriner. Very clearly Mr. Tre-herne mid his brnther-iii-law thai Ids (h i.iand wnild iiot he granted.

At clc\cii o'duel. that night Hurt . ;.v :iimjscd from !iis steep, it was rrehcriic. wlio P'ld him lo get up and lres<. Then he led him cut through

•ho hoiiM* into the Mout Ing workshop i\cr the liver, where he did his rude

pi-iii^'' lasUs. Kloise was there. She stood at the

one window of the place with a ritle II her hiiml. luokinu every im-h an In-

iiepid diuighter i»i the frontier. In MIMIC iim.ix.emeir. Hurt ^lancc'd out. Mouniid "ii horses, armeil, some of ihcm hcjirlng tordn- . were twenty moil ,|elV Wadhams was their leader.

••What do >oil w:int hereV" demand-.•d Mr. Treherne, going to the window, .md .!• IT < nine forward.

"We want a man callinullilinself w- :i end an engineer," he re-

spoaded. "Wr hnve inforimitlon that he is a spy. n dismiiseil detective, and we are uoin^ to string him up. This isn't your bu»inessl Treherne. Deliv-er him uit."

"1 wniii time to consider," spoke Mr. t'reliernc. :iml his fio.-e was grim, and Kloisc kepi wateh and ward at the window.

"Mr. Dawson." said Treherne, "ihe;e s .lust one way lo escape, luit yoii uinsi do what I say and act quickly. I *hall barret you up. with a hammer and chisel, drop you Inio lla* river and you wilt llnat away while these men are wasting their time here."

"And leave Lloise lo be earried nway ly Hint ruftian outsideV" erled Hurt. '1 will die tighting, llrst 1"

Th** old man was silent. He studied the face of his guest keenly.

"Voil love herV" he asked. "More than my own life!" reMponded

IJurt fervently. "Then"-- slowly, solemnly—"inuka

her your wife. Those ruflians then dare nnt molest her.**

A barefooted brhh'—how strange! The hasty marriage ivnMiioiiy—hn«r thriiling! And (hen, at lin* luslsteney nf ih«M(> two who now had a ehilin up-on him, Hurt conseutH to IN* "hsr reled up."

Thlriy minutes later, half a mite down the xtream. Hurt Iniwson, safe-from fiursult, broke his way out of the barrel In wldeh he hnd taken a

Cleetric Refrigeration. A brine tank in place of Ice, trtilch

by means of an electrical Instrument keeps a mean temperature In the re-frigerator, Is growing tn popularity In suburban and country i»laces where ice Is difficult to ohtuin. Its advantages are that It does away with I lie iceman, it gives a dry teiuiiemture advanta-geous for the preservation of f«»od, and there is no slini«', dirt or drip as with the use of ice. It is arriingod to freeze a little ice for table use when that is desired. It is not an liiexi>eu-slve luxury, costing about $4(W to in-stall In any refrigerator.

Valuabla Ideas From Dreams. I often think thnt many of the most

valuable things we know are teurned by chance or by men the world sup-posed to be dreamers. It took lazy old Ike Newton, sprawled luxuriously under the apple tree, to discover the laws of motion as the apples dropped from the wind-shaken boimhs. And the story of the boy watching tho tea kettle with the white Riant inside but emphasizes the fact that keen ob-servation and dreaming may be two entirely different things.—The County Agent, In Farm Life.

Tht gurdtn tf a Name. "Few great men's sons ever amount

to much." said a man at the club the other evening. MI think the most striking reason for this I ever read." he continued, "was that given by the second duke of Wellington. Someone remarked to htm: i cannot under-stand hmv It IR thnt you. with your grent Interest in and knowledge of public afTtilrs, have taken so little part In them.* •Ah.* replied the duke, 'If you had sat so long under the shadow of a great tree, you would have been as colorless as f "

Reading and Thinklni, Those wlio have read of everything

are thought to understand everything, too; but It is not always so. Head-ing furnishes the mind only with ma-terials of knowledge; It Is thinking that makes what Is read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and It Is not tnough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections; unless we chew them over again they will not glte us strength and nourishment.—John Locke.

ADVANCES OF BQHT YEARS

M m nnd KfHeleMy uf War Maliilal

By IOWABO B. CLARK. Wnabington.—It w m «mly eight

yeara ago tbat tbe water from Gatun lake w m turned Into tbe Culebra cut, now known m tbe Galllard cut. Tbe canal then wna opened for commerce and for tbe puaaage of battleships. It was thought at that time, October, 1913, that the locks bad been made large enough to accommodate any wnr vessel which wus likely to be built for a century to come. Yet today, only eight yeara from the time of the opening of the waterway, there are ships of the American navy which have to "acrunch* In order to get tbrougb tbe Gutun, the Pedro Miguel and the MiriMlorea locks.

This fact bus some beurtng on the citnference for the limitation of arms* meiits and Far Euat problema, al* though on the surface It may not seem In any way to be related to the prob* lems to be solved. There may be n limitation set on ibe number of ships which titiy nation may keep In com* mission, nnd there may be ordered a reduction In the numlier of vessels at present coiumlssloned In the various navies, but It is known, of course, that every ftiantry will be allowed to keep ii nnvy uf suillclent size to protect Its various Interests.

Of course there will be navies in the future just as there are nuvies today, end It Is not believed tbat anything will be done at the conference to pre-vent improvements nnd enlargements of the ships of the present time when vessel repluceinents are necessary and are authorized under tbe rules govern* ing limitation agreements.

It bas been auggested from time to time, more because of the humor of fancy than for nay other reason, that tlie nut lens of the world go back to the daya of old wooden ships and smooth* bore guns in order to save money for the taxpayers. The argument wus that if no nations hud unything but wood* en ships und smooth bores they would be on tlie same war level as tliey are when euch itossesftes Its steel-duds and Ita 10-liich rifles.

What Future BattlM May Be. H

Of course any such suggestion ua this inslniitly was repudiated, but It is within tbe range of remote |iossl-Mlities that something may be sug* gested ut tbe coming conference to bring a pause to tlie further develop* tuent ot destructive engines of war* lure. Probably, of course, this will aot be done, and if science und Inven* lion go forwurd us they buve g«ine for* Aard in the lust 50 years, tbe day will time when man cannot gu to war on

aea or land without knowing Unit either bis army or bis fleet, or the urmy or tliu fleet of Ihe enemy Is to be annihilated. No one left to tell tlie tnle, may be the biatory of some greut buttle of tbe future.

Virtuslly tbo only unower tbat could be made waa, T b e affair happened in Louisiana and Louisiana In such matters is n sovereign atate.'*

Of ccurae Italy could not proceed ngalnat Louisiana and ao Undo Sum took Ibe matter over nnd, without smashing the Constitutioo, or lavnding atatea rigbta, or making final admla* alon tbat nothing could be doae, took some money out of u contingent fund which happened to be in existence and paid It over to the wldowa aud chiU dren of tbo Italian aubjecta who bud been killed In the Creacent City fra-caa. Thla aatlalied tho Italian g o v emment, but It did nothing to chungo the situation In the United StatM as between the government Md the states, conditions which remain Just wburn Uiey were.

There bas been a gradual develop-ment of the practice of throwing bombs and of sending Infernal ma* chines through tbe mull, or by express, to men marked for death. Prior to the year 1870 little or nothing was known of such deeds In the United Stules. In Europe bombs bud been thrown on occusiuu und sometimes tbi-y hit their mark.

added amount of business to many of tlie United Stales courts, but the tribunal which fulrly must stagger under the weight uf accumulullnf work lo Ibe United Statea court ot dalms which sits In tbe dty ot Wutle ington.

Comparatively little over la written about the court of claims, and yet under Its JurlsdlctiM come mnny of the most Interesting suits at luw which tlie courts of tlie country know. It la understood thut even today tbe court of claims has cases before It which have grown out of the Revolu-tionary wnr and of the early Indian wars In which the United States was engaged.

It was only recently that under a blnnket net of congress tbe lust French spoliation claims were settled. These grew Mt of losses to American mer* chnnta engaged In aM trade during tlie time of the troubles with France In the doaing daya of tbe Eighteenth century.

The grent war la naponalMe for Ihe accumulatlM of uwny cmm be-fore tbe United Statee court of clslma.

The flrst season about one hundred scree of range were grubbed, tlie pol* sonous plants being eradicated with larkspur picks and scattered In ex-posed pieces to dry In tbe sue.

The total cost of grubbing the one hundred acres the flrst yesr amounted to $450.30, an average of $<1.50 an ncre Tbe losses of cattle were 'reduced from 18 bead the year before to 5 head Ihe following season.

CONDENSED CLASSICS

ON THE HEIGHTS

OthefO.

AGKKMAN court. A king state-ly of bearing and of good re* IKirt. A queen sweet and

beautiful, but abhorring those who in the least digress from the straight and narrow path, and intent above all else la preserving her own immaculate purity.

The lady of the bedchamber, Coun* less Irma von Wildenort, daughter of a noble sire, wbo spent his life in im* proving his domains and serving his aeigbbors. but who lived alone and self-centered, leaving bis children to grow up with little of bis advice and not too much expression of his affec-tion. Dr. (imither. piiysician to 1 • queen, u man straightforward and truthful, wbose wife and daughters never appeared at court.

These, wilh Countess BrinkInstein, Ilie hlgh-|irie.stess of etbiuette and deconiro; Bruno, Countess Imia's brother, and others wbo np|iear less prominently, were the characters, tbe Intermingling of whose lives furnishes a story of the expiating of sin, full of warning to those who are on the brink of wrongdoing and rejiiefe with sug-gestion to the self-sunetifled.

The story opens with the blrlh of a prince In the royal household. A nurse from the iiigblands is found In Walpurga, wife of llansal, an humble peasant, whom the queen kissed uinhi ber arrival, and this being so contrary to the etiquette of the court, ia taken up by the scandal-mongers nnd record ed In the newspapers, offending the king nnd ownkenlng his thought thut (be queen Is weak and senMiiieiital.

Countess Irma, becsuse of her ofli-eial iiositlon, has access at all times lo ibe young prince's apartments and It is soon apparent that she is fa t a( la in ing royal favor. One day the king lays Ids hand upon hers and looks nt ber in such n manner that Walpurga tells her it Is Improper, but Is advised to attend to her own af-fairs, and tbe eounte*s writing to a friend, iMtusls that the king prefers ber above all others and that lw has given her a feather from an eagle that lie shot.

Later, when they are alone together, the king nske Ibe countess, if when (bey are by Ihetnselves, he may call ber his "true comrade" and makea re-marks implying that Ihe < neen und be are not In doeeat harmony.

The devotion of bis wife, however, la shundsnUy uttoeted by a mighty struggle through wbicb she passes. She wss a Prateaiftat and the bins n t'albdle aM oat of love to blm abe resolveo to give ap ber friigloa, but Imdeod nf piraatos bla majesty, this only makes blm angry becauM be takes It to bo another token of ber wenkneas. aad he geta Dr. Ounther to dissuade her from such a course, l ie sNo sends flowers every day to Coun* test Irma, wbo la flattered, but away down In ber henrt slie Is offended, nnd she writes her friend that she feels hersHf altogether o Iom in the world.

Soon afler Ibis the king gnes nn a hunt Ins trip and be aska tho queen to have Ita CMnleea write to blm about ibe baby prfaee. Tbo queea be-gins to ta eoapldnua of ber buebnnd end tbe sraadal concerntos t ta rela-(ions of tbe ktoff nml Irma Increasea.

Later at n ball ta tdls her that aba to bMuUful and that be loves ber, aad she consoles herself with t ta thought that "the prieat gave him to I ta qoeM but nature geve him la tab"

In t ta little village to tbe Hlgk-landa, every one at first petrenlsed Walpurga and Hansel, but receiving no favors at thdr hsnda. the people abow thut human Mture la the same there m at court, for they drculato all sorts of scandalous tales concern-ing them, but when tbe happy couple purchase an extensive "freehold" the good wlstaa of all their old friends go with them to their new nbode. At this Jundure, some o m ut court wrltM to Irtna's father. Informing him that abe la "the king's mistress** and at tho news he Is fatally atridmn, but before he passes away be presses bis band to bla daughter's brow and ahe inter-prets the a d as setting there the mark of Cain and wears a bandage over it forever after.

Irma ia m w to a terrible state ftf mind M d when the king wrltea to her: MI aloM c m kiss away the ahadowa that cloud your brow** It only ia* creases ker desperation and ahe re-solves upon suicide.

She writes thus to the queen: 1 explste my crime in death." And to tbe king: M\Ve are treading tbe wrong path. You belong not to yourself alonei but to your people. Death Is my ex-piation for sin. Life must be yours. God knowa we did not mean to do wrong.**

On the way to end ber life, the countess meets a pitiable woman who bad been ruined by her brother, Bra* no. This woman' drowns herself 5u the lake and Irma stumbles on, bruised and bewildered, and Is found by Wal-purga and llansal on their Journey to their newly purchased freehold. Con-cealing her Identity from ail but Wal-purga, she accompanies the party to their mountain home.

Report of the countess' death soon spreads abroad and search is made for her body, but no trace of it is found, yet a tablet Is erected by the lake bearing this inscription: "Here perished Irma, Countess of Wildenort, In the twenty-first year of her life. Traveler, pray for and honor her mera-ory."

Back at court, tbe king upon re-ceiving Irma's letter Is deeply repent-ant nnd saddened by the reflection that "there Is no greatness without morality." He goes to the queen's room lo ask her forgiveness, but she is full of bitterness und feigns to be asleep and Inter she vents ber spite and vituperation upon him.

The king thinks that Dr. Uuntber is responsible for this, and the physician la discharged and goes back to live in his old home in the Highlanda.

For three years Irma lives wltb Wal-purga. supitosedly dead, but really ex-platiug iter sins and so growing In sweetness und purity, (but all who en-ter her presence look upon her a.* an angel and are lifted and Inspired.

At length on a day when the king and queen and the court are at a near, by village. Irma fatally III. sends for In*, finntber. who hastens to her aide and placing bis hand upon her fore-bead pronounees this benediction: "In your father 's name I bless you and with this I kiss away your burdena. You are free."

Walpurga haatens to the queen who Is now stricken with self-rondemnntlon for ber hateful spirit and ber unjust pride in her own virtue. She realizes that Irma's penance Is one through whleh she herself ought lo pass and when she reaches the shepherd's hut there Is mutual forgiveness.

The king has been hunting In the vicinity. Since receiving Irma's let* ter. he bus lived a manly life, and In |»enitenee has sought to promote the welfare of all his people. Word Is conveyed to him of what la taking place, und he rides with ail baste, but arrives on the scene only to find that the countess haa passed away; but bla heart leapa with Joy when the queen turna to him with the cry: "For* give me, Kurt. Ton have expiated. You—ulone. She—nlone." Her majee-ty takea out an amuld. which ahe haa worn next to her heart. It ia the be-trothal ring the king had given her and be puts It again niton her flnger and dnsps her in hla arms.

The countess was laid at rest at eait ly down. Ihiwn In tlie valley the king ami queen were reeding her Journal. "They ga/.ed at the rosy dawn and lifted their eyea to (he mountains—to where Irma had been buried. On tbe llolghts. • 'opyrlitht. (919, by the PoM PuMlshtnft

The Joy of Temptation

By KKV. JOILN C. FAGS

TauAer ot Blbla Doctrine. Moody Biols luaUtuta. Cblcaao.

TEXT.—My brethren, couat K aU ley srnaa ya CM late divara tamptationa. kaooiaa thla tbat the trytac of year faith werkath patteaca. But let pafeaca Mve her pariscl week, that ye may M perfect aM satlie. waaUaft aotniog.— JM VIA.

There la a philosophy of Ufe which expresses Itself ia the words, "Qria

and bear It" Ita recent do*

v e J o p m e a t l a manifcat to t ta appointment e f "Smile 'em up** committeoa Thla attitude may hnve some value. It la surely better than c o m p I a int and morosenesa. But It fulls infinitely Khort of tbe plane

"i Chrisuuii living which comes into view in (Ids Scripture—"Count it all joy when ye full into manifold tempta-tions."

Tbe word "temptation" meuns trial or testing. It is a test of character, not an Incitement to wrongdoing. Sometimes these testings are unlooked for. so that we are said " to fall" Into them. They are "manifold." Thla refers to their variety rattier than their number. They are many aided, many colored; some severe, others mild, aome prolonged, othera brief. They give occaslot. for every sort of Joy. This Is the literal meaning of the words "all Joy." We are to count it every aort of Joy wbeu we "fall into" these "manifold temptations."

But how can we do this? Only by knowing that the (eat patiently en-dured will lead to a great triumph, the triumph of faith and of a strong en-during character which Is the result of faith.

Faith is the most precious aod pow-erful thing in the world. Its educa-tion is of untold importance. A re-turned missionary from Tibet recently said in 11 public address, "God Is look-ing everywhere for men and women who will trust Iiim." Trust is devel-oped through trial. Under divine di-rection, Moses led tbe Israelites to tlte Ued sea tbat tliey might learn in experience tb" power of (Jud to save, and that their trust in iiim might be strengthened. Jesus took His disciples into a storm tbat through the test they might learn to trust, bccause of the experimental knewied^o of His power to deliver.

Every trial i..; a trial of faith. We never fnii till we fail inside. Every outward yielding is the expression and result «tf a surrender within. Tbe iriai of faith is declared to be much more precious than gold tbat perish* eth.# (loid is the standard of value iu the wori'l of men and aiTairs, hut in the higher realm of spirit and char-acter. faith is the standard, the faith that endures. From this springs every noble ami Cbristlike quality.

Ail the New Testament writers push into promiijence this point of view. "We glory In trihulatlona." says Paul, because they pnxiuce in us patience, steadfastness and hop**. These are Christlike qualities, tho flower of rbristlan character, tlie possession of which constitutes the triumph which makes ail Ihe tests worth while. When we become Christians, a new life from above is Imparted lo us. Every Chrlst-Jlke and gracious quality Is enfolded in this new life, even as tbe oak tree is wrapped up in tbe acorn. Tlie un-folding and development of this life Is tbe one big outstanding problem confront ing us. Without the manifold temptations, tlie new lll'e would be dwarfed and stunted, liecause of their oi>eration and result, the life is I ter feet ed. so that where patience bus Iter perfect work the life stands "per-fect and entire, wanting nothing." .Somehow tbe Chriilian life develops best under advei.-ity. All aunsbine makes the desert. U fe needs clouds in order to have a glorious sunset.

Another factor entering into the triuiaph emanating from the manifold temptations is the capacity to enjoy wbicb tho*e buve wbo patiently en-dure the sufTeilngs of this present •ime. They will best be able to enjoy ibe glories that shall be revealed In u s So then, there is reason to "count It all Joy when ye fall Into manifold temptations, knowing that tbe trial of your faith worketh patience." This la not mere passive Mibmisslon. but rath-er endurance. It Is tbe fuith that doee nol shrink, the perseverance that doee not falter under burdens. When this sort of patience is permitted to havi' a perfect work, perfection of life and rhiiracter is reached, nnd this is tlie triumph tbat makes all enduranre worth while and enables us to count It every sort of Joy when we "fall Into manifold templndoiis." It Is iNtsslble to binder this triumph tudesn the hn-man will co-operates with the divine purpose. There is grace enough for this also, so that sufTerings may be liernc Joyously us well as submissively.
