Possibly, he adds, the paucityof "Erholungsstatte" has .somethingto do with it There he is, of course,mistaken, but bis guess suggests thetnM reason, no doubt why the Ger-mans themselves have not heretoforeknown' the delights of camping. AGerman never takes a walk or excur-sion that does not end at an "Er-holungsstatte a tavern or beer gar-den. Supply .follows the demand,and Inns are so abundant even in

places, that tentingseems a superfluity, if not an absurd-ity. For students, who, most of all,might feel inclined to "rough it" un-der canvas, dozens of special innshave actually been built in the moun-tainous regions of Germany. It re-mains to be seen, says the New YorkPost what effect fashion will have!n acclimating this new American fad,which is said to appeal particularly to

The Inspiration of Human Love.A little story comes from Geneva,

Switzerland, that brings out thethought that human love and devotion,yes, and self-sacrific- e, know no raceboundaries. The heroine was BertheGallard, a orphan, who inthis country would be known as a."hired girL" She worked for kind peo-ple and cared for three children. Sheloved them like a mother. A fire brokeout in the house, and the parentsrushed into the street in search ofhelp, leaving the three little ones inan upper room. Berthe Gallard passedthrough the flames, wrapped two chil-dren in sheets and carried them safe-ly. The roof was falling in, but shewent back for the third child. Shefound it and as the stairs were goneshe appeared at a window, wreathedin flames, and tossed the baby intowilling hands. Then she leaped fromthe window herself and was rushed toa hospital. She was burned from headto foot She whispered: "Pleasebring the children," kissed them, thenturned to her employers, said: "Don'tcry. It is all right I did only myduty" and died. The inspiration forthe greatest courage is human love,says the Chicago Journal. It maybelove for children, .for men, or forwomen, but the fact remains thatthere is no finer emotion. It bringsthe greatest Joy. It turns self-sacri-fl-

into happiness, and the mere giv-ing up of life, with all its attractions,seems a little thing where the loveIs true.

Rules for Panama Hats.Mr. William C. Hesse, who is the

government authority on Panama'hats, gives the following rules for thecare of your best Panama, says Tech-nical World Magazine. Don't crushnp a Panama hat as though it werea cloth cap. It cannot stand suchtreatment; it will break. The storiesof the Indestructibility of Panama

'hats are untrue. Don't attempt toclean a Panama hat yourself exceptwith soap and water. It is folly toase lemon or acid on this sort ofhat, and It' Is the. height of folly tolet the irresponsible and Ignorantstreet fakir do your cleaning, for heinvariably uses the rankest acid. Don'tfall to brush your Panama at leastonce ,a day. Straw hats should bebrushed as often as derby hats. Itrash mine twice a day, and It. is asclean at the end of the summer as itwas at the beginning. Don't fail toremove e crease that may be anywhere la your hat . Such a crease isbound to cat the straw. Don't becareless of your Panama hat Treatit with consideration, and It will lastyoa all your life.

"Sure, sorr, 'tis a dhrain it is," saidthe Irishman; "from the placer upbeyant" he added, pointing to awashed-ou- t excoriation on the steepupper slope of the mountain. "MajorEvarts did be tellin' us we'd have thelawyers either us hot-f- ut again if wedidn't be lavin ut open the full.width." ..

It's' more throuble wellbe hi vin here? I'm thinking.''

While they lingered a shrill whistle;echoing among the cliffs of the uppergorge like an eldritch laugh announcedthe coming of a train from the direc-tion of Carbonate. Adams looked athis watch; : , - ," '-

"I'd like to know what that Is," hemused. ""It's two hours too soon forthe accommodation. By Jove!"

The exclamation directed, itself at. aone-c- ar train "which came thunderingdown the canyon to puil in on thesiding beyond the Rosemary. The carwas a passenger-coech,- . well lighted,and from his post on the embankmentAdams could see armed men filling thewindows. Michael Branagan sawthem, too, and the fighting Celt inhim rose to the occasion.

" Tis Donny'brook'Fair we've 'coneto this time, Misther Adams. Shall Icall up the b'ys wid their guns?"

"Not yet Let's wait and see what"happens."

What happened was a peacefulsortie. Two men, each with a kit ofsome kind borne in a sack, droppedfrom the car, crossed .the creek andstruggled up the hill through the un-bridg- ed

gap. Adams waited until theywere fairly on the right of way, thenhe called down to them.

"Halt there! you. two. This is cor-poration property."

"Not much it ain't! retorted one ofthe trespassers, gruffly. "It's thedrain-wa- y from our placer up yonder."

"What are you going to do up thereat this time of night?"

"None o' your blame business!" wasthe explosive counter-sh- ot

"Perhaps it isn't" said Adams, mild-ly. "Just the same, I'm thirsting toknow. Call it vulgar curiosity if youlike."

"All right you can know, and becussed to you. We're goln to workour claim. Got anything to sayagainst it?"

"Oh, no,"- - rejoined Adams; and whenthe twain had disappeared in the up-per darkness he went down the gradewith Branagan and took bis place onthe man-load-ed flats for the run tothe construction camp, thinking moreof the lately arrived car with its com-plement of armed men than of thetwo miners who had calmly announcedtheir intention of working a placerclaim on a high mountain, withoutwater, and in the dead of winter! . Bywhich it will be seen that Mr. MortonP. Adams, C E. Inst Tech. Boston,had something 'yet to learn In" thematter of practical field work.

By the time Ah Poo had served himhis solitary supper in the dinkey. hehad quite lorgotten the incident of themysterious placer miners. Worsethan that it had never occurred tohim to connect their movements withthe Rajah's plan of campaign. On theother hand, he was thinking altogeth-er of the carload c. armed men, andtrying to devise some means of findingput how they were to be employed infurthering the Rajah's designs.

The means suggested themselveskfter supper, and he went alone overjto Argentine to spend a half-ho-ur inthe bar of the dance hall listening tothe gossip of the place. When he hadearned what he wanted to know, he

jtorthfared to meet Winton at the in-coming train.

"We are .in for it now,' he said,when they had crossed the creek tothe dinkey and the Chlnatian wasbringing Winton's belated supper."The Rajah has imported a carloadcf armed mercenaries, and he Is goingto clean us an oat w; arresteverybody from the gang foreman up."

Winton's eyebrows lifted. "So? thatIa a pretty large contract Has hemen enough to do it?"

"Not so many men. But they aresworn-i- n deputies with the sheriff ofUte county in command- - a posse, infact So he has the law on his side."

"Which is more than he had whenhe set a thug on me this afternoon atCarbonate," said Winton, sourly; andhe told Adams about the misunder-standing In the lobby of the Bucklng- -

The technologian whistled under hisbreath! "By Jove! that's pretty rough.Do you suppose the Rajah dictatedany such Lucretia Borgia thing asthat?"

Winton took time to think about itand' admitted' a, doubt as he had notbefore. Believing Mr. SomervUle Bar-ren fit for 'treasons, stratagems, andspoils. In hls'oflcial capacity. of vicepresident of a fighting corporation, hewas none the less disposed to find ex-cuses for Miss Virginia Carteret'suncle.

"I did think so at first but I guessIt was only the misguided seal of someunderstrapper. Of course, word hasgone out all along the C. tt G. R. linethat we are to be delayed by everypossible expedient"

But now Adams had also taken timeto tank, ant he shoo ale

"For common humanity's sake Iwish I could agree,with you. Jack.But I can't Mr. Darrah dictated that

aunaV

move in his own proper person."1

"How do you know that?"Adams' answer took the form of a

leading question. "Ton had a mes-sage from me this afternoon?"

"I did.""What did you think of it?""I thought you might have left put

the first part of it; also that youmight have made the latter. half'tagood bit more explicit if you had putyour mind to it"

A alow smile' spread' itself over thetechnologian's impassive face, and helighted another cigarette.

"Every man has ais limitations," hesaid. "I did the. best I could underthe existing circumstances. But youwill understand: the Rajah knew verywell what he was about otherwisethere would have been no telegram."'

Winton sent the Chinaman out foranother cup of tea before' he said:"Did Miss Carteret come here alone?"

"Oh, no; Calvert came with her.""What brought them here?"Adams spread his hands."What makes any woman do pre-

cisely the most unexpected thing?You'll have to go back of me say toConfucius or beyond to find thatout"

Winton was silent for a momentbalancing his spoon, on the tip oi hisfinger. Finally he said: "1, hope youdid what you could to make it pleas-ant for her not that there was muchto be don'1 in such a God-forsak- enchaos as a construction camp."

"I did. And I didn't hear her com-plain of the chaos. She seemed as in-terested as a school gin particularlyin your sketches."

"That was low-dow- n in you, Morty.I wouldn't have shown you up thatway."

Adams chuckled reminiscently. "Hadto do it to make my

lie hold water. And she was im-mensely taken with the scrawls, es-pecially with one of them."

Winton flushed under the bronze.

Yawm v '

ITS JUST ABOUT"I suppose I don't need to ak which

one."Adams' grin was a measure of his

complacence. He was coming offeasier than he had anticipated.

"Well, hardly.""She took it away with her?""Took it, or tore it up, I forget

which.'Winton's look was that of a man

distressed."Tell me, Morty, was she very an-

gry?"The technologian took the last hint

of laughter out of his eyes before hesaid solemnly: "You'll never knowhow thankful I was that you were20 miles away."

Winton's cup was full, and he turnedthe talk abruptly to the industrial do-ings and accomplishments of the day.Adams made a verbal report which ledhim by successive . steps up to thetwilight hour when he had stood withBranagan on the brink of the placerdrain, but, strangely enough, there wasno stirring of memory to recall the in-cident of the upward climbing miners.

When Winton jose he vsaid some-thing about 'mounting a night guardon the engine, which was kept understeam at all hours; and shortly after-wards he left the dinkey ostensiblyto do it declining Adams' offer ofcompany. But once out-of-do- Leellmbed straight to the operator's tenton the snow-cover- ed slope. Carterhad turned In, but he sat up in hisbunk at the noise of the, intrusion,blinking sleepily at the flare of Win-ton's match.

"That you, Jfr. Winton? Want tosend something?" he asked.

"No; go to sleep. Ill write a wireand .leave it for yon to send in themorning."

He sat oown at the packing-cas- e in-strument table and wrote out a briefreport of the day's progress In tracklaying for the general manager's rec-ord. But when Carter's regular breath-ing told him he was alone he pushedthe pad aside, took down the sendingbook and searched until he had foundthe original coir of the messagewhich had reached him at the momentof cataclysms in the lobby, of theBuckingham.

"Urn," he said, and his heart grew

Another half-ho-ur had elapsed, anda waning moon --was clearing, the top-most .crags of Pacific Peak, when hecame out on the high embankment op-posite the Rosemary, having traversedthe entire length of the lateral loopand inspected the trestle at the gulchhead by the lights of a blazing fir-bran- ch.

The station with its two one-c- artrains, and the shacks of the littlemining camp beyond, lay shimmeringghost-lik- e In. the new-bo- rn light of themoon. The engine of the sheriff's carwas humming softly with a note likethe distant swarming of bees, andfrom the dance hall in Argentine thesnort of trombone and the tinklingclang of a cracked piano floated outupon the frosty night air.

Winton turned to go back. Thewindows of the Rosemary were aUdark, and there was nothing to stayfor. So he thought at all events; butii he had not been musing abstracted-ly upon things widely separated fromhis present surroundings, he mighthave remarked 'two tiny stars of lan-tern light high on the placer groundabove the embankment; or, faUingthe sight, he might have heard thedull, measured slumph of a churn-dri- llburrowing deep in the frozen earth ofthe slope.

As it was, a pair of brown eyesblinded him, and the tones of a voicesweeter than the songs of Oberon'ssea maid filled his ears. Wherciorehe neither saw nor heard; and takingthe short cut across the mouth of thelateral gulch back to camp, he boardedthe dinkey and went to. bed withoutdisturbing Adams.

The morning of the day to comebroke clear and still, with the starspaling one by one at the pointing fin-ger of the dawn, and the frost-rim- elying thick and white like a snowfallof erect and glittering needles on ironand steel and wood.

Obedient to orders, the bridgebuild- -

' Suddenly, like the opening gunof a battle, the dull rumble of amighty explosion trembled upon thestill air. followed instantly by a soundof a passing avalanche.

Winton was out and running up thetrack before the camp was fairlyaroused. What he saw when hegained the hither side of the lateralgulch was a sight to make a strongman weep. A huge landslide, startingfrom the frozen placer ground highup on the western promontory, hadswept every vestige of track and em-bani- ent

into the deep bed of thecreek at a point precisely opposite Mr.Somerville Darrah's private car.

Wondering what dreadful thing hadhappened, she hurried out upon theobservation platform and so came tolook upon the ruin wrought by thelandslide, while the dust-lik- e smoke ofthe dynamite still hung in the air.

"Rather unlucky for our friend3 theenemy." said a colorless voice behindher; and she had an uncomfortablefeeling that Jastrow had been lying inwait for her. seconded instantly by theconviction that:he had done the samething the previous morning.

There is a so-calle- d "farmers' ownticket" In New York state with CaptWilliam C. Clark, a statesman-farme-rof Constantia, as candidate for gov-ernor. Whether he will be as success-ful In raising votes as he is in raisinggrain, remains to be seen. Certain itis that he win find that the formercrop will have to be cultivated in adifferent manner from those he hasbeen accustomed to raise.

' Farmers' unions In the Indian terri-tory, or rather now the new state ofOklahoma, are said to have estab-lishe- d

warehouses and clearing houseswith a view to protecting their inter-ests against the speculators in farmproducts, especially cotton. In addi-tion to 'the warehouses for storing .the'cotton until satisfactory prices can beobtained, the farmers are buying cot-ton gins and propose to ga their owncotton. Why not. such unions? Whyshould not farmers so cooperate asto secure the very best possible prices'for their products?

A good method of handling andrearing a calf is to take it from thecow .after the third or fourth day andto teach it" to drink from a pail. Thiscan be easily domv by putting thefinger in its mouth and gradually low-ering the hand until it is beneath thewarm milk in the paiL Once or twicetrying and it will drink by itself. Thepure warm milk should be fed for aweek or so. when ii can be fed onskimmed milk, to which it win be wellto add a little meal or shipstuff, espe-cially if the calf does not run on pas-ture. After a month or two it shouldbe fed good timothy or clover hay.

Here is another story, told by theDetroit (Mich.) News, which showshow invaluable the telephone hascome to be on the farm: The team ofa farmer near Sherwood sank in amire on his farm and the horses wereslowly going under when he thoughtof bis telephone. Soon he had a gangof a 'dozen phone wire stretchers, withimplements, on a race for the farm.Their arrival was timely, the breath-ing aparatus o the animals being stillabove ground. By using the stretch-ing machinery the horses weredragged from the bog. The rural tele-phone' is itself a great thing for thefarmers, but this being provided witha troop of roustabouts for emergencies,all for the low price of the phone, isworth taking into the equation.

After careful chemical analysis forthe purpose of determining the value.of barnyard manure on, sous, ifror.Harry Snyer reports the fqHowing:If applied to a worn-ou- t sott at therate of eight tons per acre, the in-crease In corn the first year will be20 to 25 bushels per acre. This wouldbe worth $7. The next year the landwill produce six bushels more ofwheat worth, say, 4.50. If seeded toclover It would yield at least n tonmore of hay, worth $5. FoUowing theclover with wheat again, a gain ofeight bushels per acre, worth $6, willfollow. Then wiU come 12 to 15 bushels more of oats, worth $3. The increase in the five crops, due to thedressing of eight tons of farm manureand the production of clover, is aloneworth $25, making the value of themanure $3 per ton distributed overfive acres, equivalent to 60 cents perton as the annual crop-produci- value'of the manure.

A study of crop conditions in Europeindicates that the United States willfind a good market for her immensecrops of this year. The yield InFrance promises to be of the averagequantity, probably reaching 319.000,-00- 0

bushels, and of exceptionally goodquality. But on the other hand inRussia, the biggest of the old-world- 'swheat producers, with an average annual output of over 500,000,000 bush-els, the prospects are gloomy, the harvest being recorded as Inferior inquantity and quality. France and other countries which have a surplus aretherefore counting on good prices fortheir grain, which Is the natural ex-pectation In view of the Russianshortage. The latter Is likely to haveserious consequences economicallyand politically. A falling off in bread-stuf-fs

means additional hardships forthe poor and discontent among thepeople, and Russia would seem to havehad enough of both.

The cooperation of the farmers isalways desired by the government inits research work, especially in thedirection of dealing with pests, andProf. H. W. Henshaw, of the bureauof biological survey of the agriculturaldepartment makes the following re-quest to which we are certain ourfarmer readers, will cheerfully re-spond: "It is well known that manyspecies of rodents which Uve in colo-nies, such as prairie dogs, rabbits,spermophiies, field mice and rats, aresubject at irregular intervals to ml-crob- ic

diseases in the nature of epidemics, which .greatly reduce theirnumbers. The department of agricul-ture desires to be informed of thepresence of such epidemics, with aview to isolating and preserving themicrobes for use in destroying mam-mals Injurious to agriculture. Youwill greatly oblige, therefore, by in-forming the department of the pres-ence. In your neighborhood, of epi-demic diseases among wild mammals,now or at any future time. Such dis-eases are usually Indicated by thepresence of numerous sick or deadanimals."
