The Department of Agriculture to Instruct Farmers in the Uses of Denaturized Alcohol. NorroLK, VA.—The value of free alcohol to the public can be better ap- preciated when the many uses of this product are known to the farmers of the country. Uncle Sam being desirous of giving the public the full benefit of the opportunities in store, purposes having an exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition showing the development and uses of denaturized alcohol, which is made from the products of the farm and garden. This exhibit will be in charge of competent government of- ficials of the Experiment Stations of the Department of Agriculture. In connection with this Government exhibit will be exhibits of various kinds of internal combustion engines using denaturized alcohol for fuel. Farmers will learn at the Jamestown Exposition how to save labor in a thousand dif- ferent ways. They will be shown how they can utilize machinery for sawing wood, chopping stock feed, pumping water and many other things. And the farmer’s wife can employ machinery for doing her churning, washing, oper- ating her sewing machine and in many other ways to save labor. Special ma- chinery is already being made for utilizing this new and cheap fuel, and go economical will be this fuel aleohol that every farmer can make his own supply from the waste products of his farm. Uncle Sam will also show the public how to use denaturized alcohol as a fuel for heating and cooking purposes at home, and for lighting the houses and country roads. He will teach the farmers how they may eave time and expense by making their fuel and lights at so small a cost that their liy- ing expenses will be reduced to a min- imum, and their conveniences so great. ly increased that they will find real luxury in living on a farm. The Jamestown Exposition, where “Uncle Sam’s” new show will be given free to everybody, will open its gates to the public on the historic shores of Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Vir- ginia, April 26th, 1907, and close Nov. 30th, 1907. It will be an international exposition, given in honor of the three hundredth anniversary of the first per- manent English settlement in America. A SWEET BREATH.

It is remarkable how rapidly the new city is rising upon the ruins of the old. Last week one vast expanse of ghastly and tangled ruins met the eye on all sides in the burned district. But be- hold the transformation one short week has effected. The dismal ex- panse is already spotted with low for trade, all bright, new and smiling. They are even now imparting to the desolate scenes a cheerful air, At the rate at which they are going up the burnt area will be pretty well buried inits own graveyard within 60 or 90 days, and we shall see no more of it. We shall bid it farewell forever withe out regret. Chicago bas already been held up as an example of how quickly a lively and enterprising American eity can arise from its ashes. Let us see if we cannot beat Chicago.—San Franeis- co Call. wooden and corrugated iron tenements | THROUGH TO FROSTBURG. A New Route from Sand Pateh Tun- nel to Pinto, Md. The B. & O. Railroad Co. is reported to be surveying at Frostburg for a cut- off from Sand Patch to avoid the tun- nel there, through Frostburg to Pinto cut-off. This route is said to be a straight one, and a low grade. It would put Frostburg on the Pittsburg division of the B. & O., taking by that route such traffic as now passes by way of Cumberland. The people of Frostburg are much interested in the move, which is a general topic of conversation. For years the B. & O. has been looking into plans whereby the Sand Patch tunnel and the Sand Patch grade could be avoided. The grade has been the scene of many costly runaways in which scores of lives have been lost. The proposed route cuts right through the city of Frostburg and ex- tends down through the Porter lands, down into Cash Valley and through Squirrel Hollow, and crosses the Na- tional road half way between the Al- leghany Grove camp meeting grounds and the Six Mile House farm, and run- ning through it to the Winchester bridge, and then on to Pinto tunnel The grade through the Six Mile House farm is 600 feet wide from Squirrel Hollow to Winchester bridge. This wide strip is said to be for a station, the best place between Cash Valley and Pinto, the Eckhart railroad to con- nect there, says the Connellsville Cour- ier. reel Marriage Licenses. Henry H.

Sells Coal Land Near Deer Park, Md., for $49,500. N. C. McCullock, a brakeman on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, has been informed of the sale of 450 acres of land owned by him near Deer Park, Md., on which there is a coal de- posit. The consideration of sale was $40.500. The sale wns made to United States Senator Elkins. Mr. McCullock bought the land 30 yenrs ago, when working on the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, and the late United States Senator Gorman was in- terested with him. The deal just ef- fected had been held up by Senator Gorman, and was consummated after his death.—Oakland Journal. —— A PACKINGTOWN POEM. Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Independent. The American public is patient, The American public is slow, The American public will stand as much As any public I know. We submit to be killed by our railroads, We submit to be fooled by our press, We can stand as much Government scandal As any folks going, I guess. We can bear bad air in the subway, We can bear quick death in the street, But we are a little particular About the food we eat. It is not so much that it kills us— We are used to being killed ; But we like to know what fills us When we pay for being filled. When we pay the Beef Trust prices— As we must, or go without— It is not that we grudge the money, But we grudge the horrid doubt. Is it ham or trichinosis? Can a label command belief? Is it pork we have purchased, or poison? Is it tuberculosis or beef? There is really a choice of diseases To anyone, little or big; And no man really pleases To die of a long-dead pig. We take our risks as we're able, On elevator and train, But to sit at peace at the table And be seized with sudden pain When we are at home and happy, Is really against the grain. And besides—admitting the poison— Admitting we all must die— Accepting the second-hand sickness From a cholera-smitten sty ; Patiently bearing the murder, Amiable, meek, inert— We do rise up and remonstrate Againt the Packingtown dirt! Let there be death in the dinner, Subtie and unforseen, But O, Mr. Packer, in packing our death, ‘Won’t you please to pack it clean? It was all owing to the fact that Chloe (real name Matilda Washing- ton) had yielded to the Afro-Ameri- can yearning for a gold-capped tooth, that Bert Clarges became Billy Matthews’ ‘‘servant girl.” Chloe, having struck a bargain with her dentist, found it dear when the brass alloy poisoned her mouth, and she had to be taken to the hospi- tal, leaving the Matthews-Clarges household servantless at a crisis. The day following Billy was to entertain Mabel Worden and her mother at dinner, and it was upon the effect of this dinner that Billy and Mabel depended to remove the slight prejudice Mrs. Worden felt against men who painted instead of earning what to her was an honest living. “Now, I'll have to call it off,” sald Billy, miserably, as the ambulance swung around the corner with the jaunty interne hanging from the rear. “You can’t exactly call me a Jap,” laughed Bert, as he stretched his six feet on the sofa, ‘but Miss Worden does not know me, and with the tan from the yachting eruise last week still on my face, I might pass for a mulatto. We can tell it for a joke afterward.” And Billy blessed him. Clarges was as good a cook as he was an architect, and the dinner he prepared was a triumph. Billy, tak- ing advantage of a lull in the courses, slipped out into the tiny kitchen to congratulate him upon it. “That's all right, old man,” Bert answered, ‘but do you happen to know that the guest they brought with them is an old schoolmate of mine? I should hate to have her think that I had fallen to this.” Bflly gave a grin that was more gratitude than sympathy. “I'm fixed,” he announced impor- tantly. ‘Mrs. Worden whispered to me after the salad that she thought artists were Bohemians, but after such a demonstration of my love of home life she was perfectly willing to trust her daughter to my care.” Billy, all unknowing had given rein to fancy and told wild tales of unfortunate club men he had known who had turned their culinary skill to good use. Now he saw the mistake he had made. He smoked his after-dinner cigar in the parlor, with Mabel sitting hap- pily on one side and Mrs. Worden ou the other, engrossed with their talk of the future. They did not notice that Marion had slipped away. She went straight back to the din- ing room. Bert was just clearing up the table; there would be a light supper, perhaps, if they could be in- duced to stay late enough for chafing dishes, and he wanted to leave things in good shape. “lI knew you the moment I saw you,” sald Marion simply, as she held out her hand. She gave a little cry. “Don’t !” gu:sh. “Don’t tell me that I brought yo to this through my selfishness and pride.” “Your pride?” he said quickly, “what had your pride to do with 1t?" ‘““Couldn’t you guess,” she walled. “Don’t you know how they talk in a small town: They said I was trying to marry you for your money. That was why I told you ‘No’ twice.” “I ¢an tell you now,” she said proudly. “Father was not ruined. Most of the money the lawyers got back for us. Now that I am rich and yvou—you—"' “And you marrying me for my helped her out. “That's it,” she said eagerly. “Now that you have been brought to this, I can say fearlessly that I love you and ask you to marry me.” “I may as well tell you,” he said seriously, ‘“‘that it was another wo- man who brought me to this.” She drew herself up, tall straight. “Come, I will show you her pic- ture.” With a compelling arm on her shoulders he led her into the stuffy kitchen and up to a cheap tintype in its primrose colored mat. ‘There she i8,”’ he said simply. Marion gave a horrified cry. “It’s a darkey,” she gasped. ‘It's our cook,” he explained sol- emnly. ‘“They took her to the hos- pital yesterday. Forgive me, dear, I only meant to tease.” Mrs Worden gasped when they found her with the cook’s arm about her and her fluffy head upon his breast, but she did not withdraw her consent to Billy's engagement be- cause he had sought to deceive her. Chloe’s teeth have been gold- plated now with the 14-karat metal, and only the dentist's flat refusal has prevented them from being en- graved, ‘In grateful appreciation.” Bert declares that there should be some such inscription. can’t be accused of money?” he and Word from Br'er Williams. **Some folks sez de devil is a gen- tleman,” sald Brother Williams. “I ain’t so sho’ ’bout dat; but one thing I knows fer sartin, en dat is he sho’ is hot stuff’’—Atlanta Constitution.

He knew that those giggles could proceed from noneother than Miss Barlow and Miss Barlow’s friend from New Orleans, Miss Kunsmet. He had never seen Miss Kunsmet, but Migs Barlow had called him up on the phone and told him that she had arrived. Well, the girls would probably be in directly. It was not worth while sitting down. Dingwall walked about the room and assured himself by means of the mantel mirror that his tie was straight and the parting of his hair unruffied. Still nobody came and still the giggling In the next room con- tinued. Dingwall stepped on tiptoe into the hall and listened. The girls were talking and quite unrestrainedly—of him, no doubt. Such was the way of girls. But why did they linger? Per- haps the friend was making a few finishing touches to her toflet {in his honor. Another burst of laughter came from the back room. Dingwall’s cu- riosity was excited. He tiptoed to the door. “He doesn’t like to be kept walt- ing,”” he heard Miss Barlow say. “I don’t,” thought Dingwall. ‘But how did she know it? I've always tried to look pleasant.” “But I don’t believe in humoring him too much,” the young woman continued. “I wish you could see him this very instant.” “I guess she can make out to wait a few minutes,” thought Dingwall. “I know you'll just love him.” “I'm sure I will,” said the friend's voice. ‘“What color are his eyes?” “A dark, liquid soulful brown,” replied Miss Barlow. ‘‘He looks at me sometimes with a sort of sad, dumb, worship in them—as if he wanted to tell me something and fit was breaking his heart because he couldn't.” “And I never thought she so much as guessed at my feelings,” thought Dingwall. “By Jove, these girls are pretty foxy!” “Mine has black eyes,” said the friend. ‘“He has that same look in them, though.” There was a slight noise in the hall and Dingwall dodged back with a wildly beating heart and a flushed face. He smiled at himself in the mirror a moment later and winked tri- umphantly. “This is mighty interesting,” he said. “I don’t believe that was any one coming. I think I'll go back.” “He’s well bred,” Miss Barlow was saying. A perfect little gentleman.” Dinzwall’s chest went out. “I wanted to hug him the very first time I saw him. It was a case of love at first sight.” A heavenly radiance overspread Dingwall’s countenance. “But he's the most conceited little beast that ever—"’ An unmistakable approaching footstep this time. Dingwall darted back into the reception room, where he stood in a whirl of conflicting emotions. It was altogether beyond him. To confess her love in one breath and in the next to make an absolutely un- just accusation and in the most con- temptuous terms! Here was a nice dose of bitter in the honey he had been swallowing with such avidity. One thing seemed certain—he could never meet that girl again. Hence- forth she was nothing to him. He was starting for the door when Mrs. Barlow entered. She seemed surprised to see the young man alone. “Why, where are the girls?” she asked. ‘lI imagine they are in the next room,” answered Dingwall. “I—I hear them talking.” “Then Greta can’t have told them that you were here. Girls,” she cried, raising her voice, “Mr. Dingwall is here, Flora!” Miss Barlow and her friend came in. Dingwall went through the cere- mony of introduction to the friend with frigid politeness. His greeting of Miss Barlow was similarly cold. There should be no dumb adoration in his eyes now, at least, he deter- mined. Naturally the change in his manner embarrassed the young wo- man. It was rather awkward all around for some minutes. Miss Kunsmet dispelled the gloom at last. “Flora has been telling me about her dear little dog, Cripps,” she said, addressing Mrs. Barlow. ‘‘She says he does everything but talk. I tell her I don’t believe he’s as sweet and affectionate as my little spaniel, Mazarin. We've been having quite a doggy discussion.” Then a light dawned on Dingwall and he began to make himself agree- able. Crime in Boston. Judge—You say the prisoner held you up on the Common.
