The new governor of a western state has two sons. One Is big and husky like h!s father, but the other Is more slight; and at time he rather vexes his father by his affectation of 'rah-'rah boy clothes and a general air of lassitude and dudlshness. The two sons and the father were Id the library one night and the name of a prizefight referee came Into the conversation. The 'rah-'rah boy had been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs, but hlg ears pricked up at the man's name and he drawled: "I rather like that chap. He's all right." "What do you know about him?" the other brother asked, rather con temptuously. "Oh, he gave tue a shade the best of It one night" "Gave you the best of It?" both father and brother shouted.

A member from a northern constlt uency, who was one day reproached by a disappointed supporter for never opening his mouth In the house, repu diated the accusation with Indignation. Not a day passed, he declared, but that he said something; and It was reported In the papers, too. In con firmation of his statement he pro duced the report of the last debate, and pointed triumphantly to the "Hear, hears," with which certain speeches were punctuated. "That's me," he said.

CHILDREN AFFECTED By Mother's Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched Into life with constitutions weukened by disease taken In with their moth ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care ful as to the food they use while nurs ing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother Is a case In point: "I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not do with out It But I found at last It was do ing me barm. Kor years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain In my heart, to which was added, two years later, a chronic sour stomach. "The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, It, too. suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk. I have aince ascer tained that it really dries up the milk "80, I quit coffee and tried tea and at last cocoa. Dut they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but It Increased the flow of my milk. "My husband then quit coffee and used Postum and quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which be had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dlsdness, blind spells, pain In my heart or eour stomach. "Now we all drink Postum from nfy husband to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best eoffee we ever drank." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Get the little book.

"There's a line of the South Caro lina militia crawling through the woods toward Raccoon creek They Insist that It's a practice skirmish and that they've come over here h'-cause the landscape Is naturally adapted to their purposes." "It's awfully nice of them to like my scenery. You'd better send your best man out to meet Col. Cillingwa ter of the North Carolina militia, and tell him to march all his troops Into the estate by the north gates, and to be in a hurry. Tell hini- tell blind Ciov. Iiangerfleld Is anxious to have the stalT present In full uniform at a grand ball at Ardsley tonight." Ardmore rode off alone toward Rac coon creek to catch a view of the enemy. How far would (irlswold go? Ardmore could go as far as Orls wohl; yet he was puzzled to know why tirlswold was in the field at all. These reflections carried him far to ward Raccoon (-reek, and when ho had reached that tortuous stream be dis mounted and tied his horse, the more freely to examine the frontier. liy Jumping from boulder to boulder he crossed the turbulent tide and gained the other side with a sense of enter ing the enemy's country. "Now," he muttered, "1 am in South arollna." He drew out his map and held It against a tree the better to study it, reassuring himself that his own prop- rty line embraced several sections of the forest on the south side of the state boundary. "If Grlssy shoots me, it will be on my own land," he said aloud. He cautiously followed the stream until, several hundred yards farther 1 on, and overhanging the creek, he came upon the log cabin In which lllg Paul had reported the presence of a ghost. Paul's story bad not Inter ested him particularly, but now that he was In the neighborhood he re solved to visit the cabin and learn If possible how ghosts amuse themselves by day. He had thrust a revolver Into his pocket before leaving the house and while he had no Idea that ghosts may be shot, he now made sure that the weapon was In good order. As he sat on a log slipping the cylinder through IiIb fingers he heard whis tling farther along the creek, followed quickly by the snapping of twigs un der a heavy tread, and a moment later a tall, slender man broke Into view. The stranger was dressed like a countryman, but be was unmistakably not of the Ardsley force of workmen, for these wore a rough sort of uni form. Ills hands were thrust careless ly Into the side pockets of a gray Jeans coat. They were thrust In deep, so that the coat sagged at the pockets. His trousers were turned up from a pair of rough shoes and he wore a gray flannel shirt, the collar of which was guiltless of a tie. lie was smooth shaven, and carried in his mouth a short pipe, which he paused to relight when about a dozen yards from Ard more. Then, as he held the lighted match uhove the pipe bowl for an in stant to make sure his tobacco was burning, Ardmore Jumped up and cov ered him with the pistol. "I beg your pardon," said the mas ter of Ardsley, "but you're my pris oner!" The stranger shook the flame out of thy match stick carefully and threw it away before turning toward his captor. "Young man," he said with perfect self possession, "don't fool with that gun, It might go off." His drawl was characteristic of the region; his tone was one of amused tolerance. Ardmore was short of stature, and his knickerbockers, leggings ami Norfolk jacket were not wholly consonant with the re volver, which, however, he leveled very steadily at the stranger's head. "You are an intruder on my proper ty, said the master of Ardsley, "and unless I m much mistaken you have been playing ghost in that cabin. I've beard about you. Your gang has been cutting off my timber about long enough, and this game of playing ghost to scan' my men won't do." "Stealing your timber?" And the stranger was clearly surprised He held his pipe in his hand with bis thumb over the bowl and seemed to take a more serious interest In bis captor. "And now," continued Ardmore, "I'm tired of having tills end of the country run by the Applewelghts, and their disreputable gang, so I'm going to lock you up." The stranger turned toward the cabin, one corner of which was plain ly visible, and shrugged his shoulders. "I have nothing to do with the Ap plewelghts, and 1 assure you I am not a timber thief." "Then you must be the one who has lifted a few steers out of luy herd. It makes no difference Just what branch of the business you are engaged In, for we're picking up all the gang and you've got to come along with me." The captive showed signs of anger tor the first time. His face flushed, Ml and he took a step toward Ardmore, who Immediately throw up the revol ver so tliat It pointed at the man's head. "Stop right there! We've got old man Applewelght, no you've lost your leader, and I tell you the Jin's up. We'll have you all in Jail before an other .1 hours has pawned." "I Judge from the tone of your re mark that you nre Ardmore, the own er if Ardsley. Am 1 light?" "You are quite riKht And yon nre a member of a disreputable gan of outlaws that has been brltiRiiiK Khnme upon the state of North Carolina. Now, I want you to march straight ahead of me. Step lively now!" And Ard more flourished the pistol menaelnKlv. "March!" The man hesitated, ft 1 1 11 ir no hln read defiantly, then moved slowly for- I w ard. "We will cross the creek light here," he ordered; "it's a pretty jump there from that boulder there, that was bully! Now right along there over the log see the trail! Good!" It was warm and the captive was perspiring freely. Ho moved along do'ilely, and finding that be mani fested no inclination to bolt, Ardmore dropped the revolver to his side, but with his finger on the trigger. They soon reached a field where some laborers were at work, and Ard more called them to him for Instruc tions. "Hoys, tills is one of the timber thieves; put him In that corn crib un til I comu back for him. The nights are warm; tbo sky Is perfectly clear; and you will kindly see thut he does not lack for food." Two of the men jumped forward and seized Ardmore's prisoner, who now broke forth In a torrent of wrath, struggled vigorously. "That's right, boys; that's light; easy there! Now in he goes." "You're My A series of corn-cribs fringed the ibid, and into one of these, from w hich half the corn had been removed, the prisoner was thrust Bprawilng upon the yellow ears, and when he rose and Hung himself round, the door of the corn-crib slammed In his face, lie bellowed with rage now, see ing that his Imprisonment was a seri ous matter, and that It seemed likely to be prolonged Indefinitely. "They always told uie you were a fool," he howled, "but I didn't know that anything as crazy s you are was loose In the world." "Thank you. The head of your gang Is much more polite. He's sitting 011 his case of Chateau liizet in my wine cellar, playing solitaire." "Applcwelght in jour wine cellar!" bawled the captive la astonishment. "Certainly. 1 was afraid to lock him in a room with bath for fear It might give him hydrophobia; but he's perfectly content in the wine cellar"! "What ,iiv you going to do with 1 him?" "I haven't decided yet Just what to do with him. but the scoundrel un doubledlj belongs in South Carolina, and 1 haw- every intention of making his own state punish him." The prisoner leaned heavily against his prison door and glared out upon his jailer with a new. tierce Interest. "I tell you I've nothing to do with the Applewelghts! I don't want to re veal my Identity to you, you young beggar; but 1 demand my legal rights." "My dear sir," retorted Ardmore, "you have no legal lights, for the writ of habeas corpus doesn't go here. You seem rather intelligent for a barn burner and tlmlu r thief. Come now, what Is your name?'' The prisoner gazed down upon the imperturbable figure of his captor through the slats of the corn crib. Ard more returned his gaze with his most bland and child like air. Many people had beeu driven to the point of mad ness by Ardmore's apparent dullness. The prisoner realized that he must launch a thunderbolt if he would din- f2',,'" -J.1" tf"i"'a munj) ) uma jpj. nmmii ltih wamiiii' , eiwwi,iiiiaTWwrai aih.ilillnr ...ir nil r 111 I - -.. , itt ,M ) .. -j-'-lt',, muif ttirti II nMf-prmnr-Mlon no comptet trnTiQiillllty an awettt as the fading afternoon. "Mr. Artlmoro, I dlallke to do It, but your amazing conduct make it nec Mnnry for dib to dlsclnne my Identity," and the man's manner showed real cmbarrassmpnt. "I knew It; I know It;" nodded Ard more, folding bis arms across Ms chest. "You'r either the king of Slam or tho prince of Petosky. As either, X salute you!" "No!" roared the captive, beating Impotently RKalnst th door of the cnice with his hands. "No! I'm the governor of South Carolina!" This statement failed, however, to produce tho sIlRhtest effort on Mr. Ardr orp, who only smiled slightly, a smll less Incredulous than disdainful. "Oh, pshaw; that's nothing." he re plied "I'm thp governor of North Caro lina!" and mounting his horse ho gravely lifted his hat to the prisoner and galloped away. While Mr. Ardmore was securing his prisoner In the corn crib It may be Interesting to return for a moment to the haunted log cabin on Karcoon creek, the Interior of which was roughly but comfortably furnished. Above were two small sleeping rooms, and beside the bed In each stood a suit-cHA and a hand-satchel. In each room hung, on convenient books, a loi.g, black frock-coat, a pair of trou sers of light cloth, and a broad brim 1,ll,( k f'" nnf- c,i,t' tr"'"'" and bat were exactly alike. In the room below sat a man In his shirt slceveH, his feet on a cheap deal table, blowing rings from a cigar. He presented a picture of the greatest ease and contentment, as he occasion ally stroked his short brown beard, or threw- up bis arms and clasped his hands about his head or caught lazily at the smoke rings. On the table lay an array of playing cards and poker chips. "It's too good to last forever," the lone occupant reflected aloud, stifling a yawn, and be reached out, with careless indifference, toward a bun dle of newspapers tied together with a piece of twine and drew one out and spread it across bis knees. He yawned again as though the thought of n world whose affairs were stamped In printer's Ink bored him Im mensely; and then the bold head lines that shouted at him across half a quarter of the sheet caused him to gasp, and his feet struck the bare lloor of the cabin resoundingly. He now bent over the paper with th greatest eagerness, muttering as he Prisoner!" read, and some of bis mutterings were, it I ust be confessed, not with out profane embellishment. TWO COWARDLY OOVKRNORS MISSINO. Scandal Affecting Two State Kxecu tlves Is the Appleweight Case Re sponsible? Rumors of Fatal Duel on State Line. He read breathlessly the startling story that followed the head lines then rose and glanced anxiously at his watch. "Am I drunk or mad? I must find Osborne nnd get out of this." He leaped to the open door, and gazed into the forest from a little platform that commanded all sides of the cabin. And there, to his utter amazement, he saw men In khaki emerging cautiously from the woods. They were unmistakably soldiers of some sort, 101 an oiucer was giving sharp commands, and the line opened out like a fan along the creek. The observer of this maneuver mopped Ills head with bis handkerchief as he watched the alert movements of the figures in khaki. He was so absorbed that he failed to bear stealthy steps at the rear of the platform, but be was now rudely aroused by two untloruicd youngsters with S C. N. (1. 01, their caps, who sprang upon him and bore him wiih a crash to the puncheon floor. "You're our prisoner!" shouted one of them, rising when he found that the prisoner yielded without resist ance. "What for?" blurted the captive, sitting up und rubbing bis elbow. "For being Itlll Appleweight, ulias Poteet. (let up, now, and come with us to headhunt ters, or my instructions are to break your head." "Who in the deil ure you?" paated the prisoner.

In house plan ning and house building Is increasing. fhe popular press reveals this ten !ency very clearly. Illustrations and descriptions of modern houses nnd discufsions of architectural subjects are overflowing from the technical press, finding a place In the newspa pers and popular magazines. This growing Interest among the people Is all to the good. Architecture has suffered too long from popular Ig norance and popular apathy. General ly speaking, people get the kind of architecture they like and the kind of building they are willing to accept. There Is enough architectural genius and enough skilled craftsmanship In our midst today to transform every town and village Into n thing of beau ty and to provide every family with a beautiful and healthy home. If the genius of the architect and the nklll of the workman are unem ployed, or are wasted on unworthy objects, It Is becaiiFe the demand for this beautiful architecture has not fvt become general and Insistant. No i 1 doubt, is Is also due to the fact that some who appreciate and desire good architecture have not the means to command It. But the want of money is secondary. The matter of primary Importance Is that people should have right Ideas as to what consti tutes good architecture and sound building, and should Insist whenever they caase buildings to be put up upon having only those which are both well designed and well built. Good Building, the First Essential. And here, no doubt. Is a point of danger. The popularlzlug of architect ure Is a good thing so long as the de mand Is for good architecture. A great unlnstructed public demanding "quaint" houses and "picturesque" bungalows would get what It wants, but the result is not likely to make for real progress In architecture, or for healthy conditions In the building trade. When the house-hunting mnn turns with disgust from the "desirable villa residences" to which the house agents have directed his attention, and tried to sell to him, and determines to build himself a house according to bis own and his wife's Ideas he takes a very right and proper course, but he 1b apt to go about It in a wrong way. He in- Floor Plan. tites an architect to design him a "picturesque" house, with nooks and bay windows and overhanging eaves. It Is to contain accommodations w hich might reasonably be supplied for $4,000, but It Is to cost not a ivenny more than $2,000. That Is to begin at the wrong end. If a man's chief ambition Is that all the landscape painters in the neigh borhood should come and erect their easels before his house, he does well to concern himself primarily with gables and nooks; but if he hold with Bacon that "houses are built to live In and not to look on," he will do well to give more attention to the sound ness of the walls and the roof and the relative positions of dining room nnd kitchen let the man with $2,000 to spend determine that he will have as much good sound building ns $2,000 will buy and therewith be content. If this means being cuntont with two sit ting rooms Instead of the desired three, 'or abandoning a projected In glenook, there Is a solid consolation in the knowledge that all the material used In the bouse Is thoroughly sound and has been put together in a work manlike manner. When the essential thing good building Is secured, a man may find It possible to indulge his fancies U f'wv JOtcmJC rxi FonM T Hall J BlKniwO CCOr aWreiftVaaV ttvo aiR o Lrviwo Room a J rrrS J A 1 . - -artt r la- ?V.r . -V - 'Hlhl.lnli'' V? f . v.-j-A many matters of detail; but he shouli be warned against too earnestly strit Ing after the Ideal of the picturesque. Having determined on the accommo dation he desires and can afford, he will be well advised to be guided In regard to the design by his architect. The little cottage illustrated here with Is an example of a building thoroughly constructed and arranged according to the very best Ideas for convenience; yet at the same time some little thought has been given to make the building at tractive In appearance without adding materially to Its cost. For JI.DOO this five-room cottage has been built, using the very best methods of construction and finishing the building on the Inside with oak, birch and yellow pine. A glance at the floor plan will show the desirable features of Its arrange ment The living room and dining room are of large size and open to gether by means of an arch opening. The kitchen Is well away from the rest of the house, being separated from the dining room by the pantry, v. arrangement which has been found to be very satisfactory. There are two good sized bedrooms very well placed. The bathroom Is convenient ly located. The sttlc space in this cottage Is valuable for storage purposes, and since it 's well ventilated servos to keep the first story cool during hot rummer weather. The exterior Is stded with clap-board, having band courses and corner boards used for ornamental effect. The cornl :e Is rath er wide and Is of open timbered con struction. Altogether this Is an ex ceptionally attractive and economical little residence for the small family. EUROPE TAKING TO BUDDHISM Religion of the East Is Making Rapid Strides In the Countries of the Occident. Buddhism has been making great strides In Europe for the past year. The membership of the Buddhist so ciety of Great Britain and Ireland Is now counted by hundreds and branch cb have lately been established In Liv erpool and Edinburgh. Prof. Rhys Da vids, the writer on Pall and Buddhist literature, Is its president, and among the vice-presidents Is the earl of Mex borough. A Scottish convert to Budd hism, who Is now a monk. In Burma, Is shortly to start a campaign In Great Britain, having been appointed first resident missionary. Great progress has also been made by the German Buddhist society, which has two important press organs, In Ielpzig and Breslau. Buddhist progagandists have been especially ac tive lu Hungary, where five editions of a Buddhistic catechism have been exhausted. For the first time In Europe an at tempt has been made there to get Buddhism officially recognized by the state, so that it could be taught In the b hools. The plan was not successful, how ever. In Switzerland and Italy the num ber of adherents of the ancient orient al faith iB also growing steadily.- At Lugano appears the Coenobium, one of the nioBt Important BuddhlBt publi cations in Europe. New Buddhistic colonies, It is announced, will shortly be formed near Lausanne and also In the Italian province of l.'mbria. Relics of Stone Age. Arthur I nosy, K. R. G. S., has re cently completed a series of explora tions In Yucatan which bring to light many new facts about the stupendous ruins which stretch through the coun try In a chain IW) miles long. The most amazing thing about these ruins, according to Mr. Diosy, Is that the people who possessed such high architectural skill and the knowl edge of rich and graceful decorative arts, belonged to the stone age and had no knowledge of metals. These wonders in stone were carved with film Implements and a civilization which has Ix-en compared to that of Egypt grew up without even the use of bronze and Iron. No Chance to Be Cheap.

It began by. my no ticing red blotches appearing on my face and scalp. Although they were rather disfiguring, I did not think any thing of them until they began to get scaly and dry and to Itch and burn until I could not stand the suffering. Then I began to use a different soap, thinking that my old kind might be hurting me, but that didn't seem to do any good. I went to two different doo tors out neither seemed to relieve me any. I lost many nights' sleep In con tinual scratching, sometimes scratch ing till I drew the blood on my face and head.
