Sho sat down on the grass ami looked nt het compnulons, and they s:it down and looked nt her, and Toto found that fot tho first time In his life he wast toe tired to chase a bntlerlly that Hew past his head; so he put nut hi tongue and punted and looked at Dor othy ns If to ask what they should dc next. "Supposo we eall Hip Field Mire,' fine suKKested. "They eoul l prohalilj tell tis the way to the Knierahl City "To be sure they could," cried the Scarecrow; "why di.hft we think ol thut before?" Dorothy blew the little whistle she had always carried about her neck since the Queen of the Mice had Riven It to her. In a few minutes they heard tho pattering of tiny feet, and many ot the small grny mice came runnip;; up hsui "Suppose We Call the Field Mice." to her. Among them was the Queen herself, who asked in her squeaky lit tVe voice: "What can I do for my friends?'' "Wo have lost our way," said Doro thy. "Can you tell us where the Km rrald City is?" "Certainly," answered the Queen; "hut It Is a great way n!T, for you have had It at your backs all this time." Then she noticed Dorothy's golden cap, und said: "Why don't yoi; use the charm of the rap, and call the Wluged Monkeys to you? They wll, carry you to the City of Oa In les. than an hour." "I didn't know there was a charm,' answered Dorothy, In surprise "What Is it?" "It Is written inside the golden cap," replied tho Queen of the Mice; "but If you are goln to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away I jFe 1 Wizard By L. Frank Baum Mnaan for they nr full of mischief and think It preat fun to plasuo us." "Won't they hurt me?" asked the Klrl. anxiously. "Oh, no; they must obey (he wenrei of tho cap. (Sootl by!" and she Beam pered out of bluht, with all the ink hurrying after her. Doroihy looked Insido tho golden cap and saw some words written upon Mie lining. These, sho thought, must be the charm, so sho read the tlirec liens carefully and put the cap upon her brad. 'Tp-po, p'PPC kiik-ke!" she said standing on her left foot. "What did you say?" asked the Scarecrow, who did not know what she was doing. "Mil In, hol lo, hel lo!" Dorothy went on. standing this time on het right foot. "Hello!" replied the Tin Woodman, calmly. "Zizzy, zuz zy, zik!" said Dorothy, who was now standing on both feet This ended the saying of tho charm, and they heard a great chattering and ilapplng of wings uh the hand ol Winged Monkeys Hew up to them. The King bowed low before Dorothy, ami asked: "What is your command?" "Wo wish to go to tho Kmerald City," said the child, "and we have lost our way." "We will carry you," replied the King, and no sooner had he spoken than two of tho monkeys caught Doro thy in their arms and Hew away with her. Others look the Scarecrow und the Woodman and tho Lion, and one tJW Quelala. little monkey seized Tolo and Hew aft' cr them, although tho dog tried hard to bile him. The Scarecrow and the Tin Wood man were rather frightened at first for they remembered how badly the Winged Monkeys had treated them be fore; but they snw that no harm was Intended, so they rode through the air quite cheerfully, and had a fine time looking nt the pretty gardens and woods far below them. Dorothy found herself riding easily between two of the biggest nionkoys, one of them tho King himself. They bad made a chair of their hands und were curcful not to hurt her. "Why do you have to obey the eharm of the golden cap?" she asked "That Is a long story," answered the King, with n laugh; "but ns we have a long Journey before us I will pass the time by telling you about It If you wish." "I shall be glad to henr It," she re plied. "Once," began the lender, "we were a free people, living happily In the great forest, Hying from tree to tree, eating nuts and fruit, and doing Just ns we pleased without calling anybody master. Perhaps some of us were rather too full of mischief at times, Hying down to pull the tails of the :inlmr.Is that had no wings, chasing birds, and throwing nuts nt tho people who walked in the forest. Hut we were careless and happy and full of fun, and enjoyed every minute of the lay. This was many years ago. long before Oz came out of the clouds to rule over this land. "There lived here then, awny at the north, a beautiful princess, who was tlso a powerful sorceress. All her magic was used to help the people, nul she was never known to hurt nny jne who was good. Iter name was Hayelette, and sho lived In a hand ?ome palace built from great blocks of ruby. Every one loved her. but her greatest sorrow was that she co;ild lind no one to love In return, slneo all the men were much too stupid and duly to mate with one so beautiful und wise. At last, however, she found a boy who was handsoio and manlv md wise beyond his years. Gayelette intle up ber mind that when he grew o he a man she wouid make him her .unhand, so she took hlin to her ruby palace and used all her magic powers o make him as strong and good and n-cly as nny woman could wish. Vhen be grew to manhood, Quelula, s he was called, was said to be the icft and wisest man In all the land, .Mine ins manly beauty was so crcnt tint Gayelette loved him dearly, and listened to make everything ready for lie wedding. "My grandfather was at that time bo king of the Winged Monkeys MUcti lived in the forest near Gnve ette's palace, and the old fellow loved i Joke better than a good dinner. Ouc lay, lust before the wedding, my randfaiher was flying out with bis land when ho saw Quelala walking jesido tho river. Ho was dressed In i rich costume of pink silk and purple velvet, nnd my grandfather thought ne would see what ho could do. At his void the band flew down nnd BClzod Quelala, carried him In their arms un it they were the middle of the river, ind then dropped him Into the water. 'Swim out, my fine fellow,' cried ny grandfather, 'and see If tho water das spotted your clothes.' Quelala was much too wise not to swim, and he was not In tho least spoiled by all his iood fortune. He laughed, when he ?nnie to the top of the water, and jwain In to shore. Hut when Gayelette ame running out to him she found his silks and velvet all ruined by the river. Tho princess was very nngry, und me kitfrw, of course, who did It. She had all' the Winged Monkeys brought before her, and she said at first that Iheir wings should be tied and they mould be treated ns they had treated Quelala, and dropped in the river. Hut my grandfather pleaded hard, for he Miew the monkeys would drown in the ;ver with their wings tied, nnd 'uolala said a kind word for them lso; so that Gayelette finally spared hem, on condition that the Winged Monkeys should ever after do three lines the bidding of the owner of the ?olden caii. The cap had been made for a wedding present to Quelala, and It Is said to have cost the princess half her kingdom. Of course my grand father and all the other monkeys nt Dnee agreed to the condition, and thut Is how It happens that we ure three times tho slaves of the owner of the golden cap, whomsoever ho may be." 'And whnt became of them?" asked Dorothy, who had been greatly Inter-1 csted In tho story. 'Quelala being the first owner of the golden cap," replied the monkey, "he was tho first to lay his wishes upon us. As his bride could not bear the sight of ns, he called us all to him In tho forest after he had married her and ordered us to always keep where sho could never again set eyes on u Winged Monkey, which we wi re glad to do, for we were all afraid of her. 'This was all we ever had to do un til the golden cap fell Into tho hands uf the Wicked Witch of the West, who made us enslave the Winkles, and ntt erward drive Oz himself out of tho Land of the West. Now the golden rap is yours, nnd three times you have the right to lay your wishes upon us." As the Monkey King finished bis story Dorothy looked down and saw the green, shining walls of the Km frald City before them. She wondered at the tapld flight of the monkeys, but was glad (he Journey was over. Tho strange creatures set the travelers down carefully before the gate of the city, ihe King bowed low to Dorothy, and then Hew swiftly away, followed by all his band. "That was a good ride," said the lit- tto girl. "Yes, nnd a quick wny out of our troubles," replied the Lion. "How lucky It wns yon brought uway that wonderful cap!" CHAPXV, The Disco OZcTe The four travelers walked up to the great gate of the Kmerald City and rang the bell. After ringing several times it was opened by the same Guardian of the Gate they had met be fore. "What! are you back again?" he asked, In surprise. "Do you not see us?" answered the Scarecrow. "Hut I thought you had gone to violt the Wicked Witch of the West." "We did visit her," said tho Scare crow, "And she let you go again?" asked the man, in wonder. "She could not help it, for she is melted," explained the Scarecrow. "Melted! Well, that is good news, indeed," said the mau. "Who melted her?" "It was Dorothy," said the Lion, gravely. "Good gracious!" exclaimed the man, and he bowed very low Indeed before her. (TO HE rOXTlNTUD.) Bishop Opposes Woman Suffrage. Ulshop James A. Mcl'aul of the Roman Catholic diocese of Trenton Is another prelate who does not think very highly of woman suffrage. In discussing this interesting topic re cently the bishop said: "Most women today are opposed to departing from their own domestic sphere nnd usurp ing the place etccupied by men, and men, ns a rule, have so much regard nnd affection for their mothers, sis ters nnd wives that they detest any thing tending to bring women Into tho rough struggle with men. Afler all has been said in favor of woman suf frage nnd against It .every true man and woman realizes that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." But We May Yet See it. A Frenchman named Hourdals, Rays 'he San Francisco Chronicle, has de vised a floating city which will permit persons who wish to cross the ocean without running the risk of sea sick ness to do so. It Is to be about three thousand feet In length, with un appro priate breadth, will hnve avenues planted with trees, gardens, squares, kiosks for music bands, a theater, ctr rular railways, shops, etc. He does not tell how be is going to propel it, but ho is sure that It will be safer Rnd more comfortable than other ships.

Thrive In Nation's Capital in Greater Number and More Dignity Than Anywhere Else in the World. Aside from legislation, adjudication ind administration, the big colony of government official!) and appurte nances thereto In Washington Is main ly engaged In publicity promotion. Washington the beautiful may truly be said to be the home of the pres3 agent, lie thrives there in greater number and more estimable dignity than on any other spot on the face of the earth. Press agents there have their trade reduced to a scientific basis. Their glorious example for emulation is none other than the United States of America, one of the firmest believers in printers' ink en paged in modern development. To be without a press agent in Washington is almost as bad as be ing without a two-gallon-top hat. A man can get along without a top hat by borrowing one from his neighbor in the next hall room, but press . agents are fixtures that cannot be bor-1 rowed. What press ngent could be re lied lo tout another man's game? None. The government goes in for tho press agent strong. It hires him in the highways and in the byways, and when he once gets on the pay roll he remains there for life. Congress raves nnd caves about the press agent, but he Is just ns hard to eradicate as the boll weevil or the tick In cattle. He Is not ns obnoxious a parasite, but every congressman, and by tho way they nil have nice young men, prefer ably those with newspape-r training, as secretaries, is against the govern ment press agent. This sentiment got ho strong not so long ago that one Mr. Joseph Hucklin llishop, Panama canal publicity pro moter got "Hied" by law. Mr. Bishop was hire d for $10,000 a year to keep the newspapers Informed on the prog ress on the Panama canal. Now, no newspaper would have believed those figures If they were not of public rec ord. The figures were too high. Mr. Hishop came in for a fine line of per sonal publicity in the senate, and when he was "fired" and made secre tary of the Panama canal commission, notice was served on all departments to cut out the press agents. Did they do it? Well, rather not. The appropriation for the mainte nance nnd operation of the govern ment printing office this year was $3, (I00.O00, with an additional $90,000 for officials who draw salaries, not wages. The government printing office turns out thousands of tons of literature. Some of it is of doubtful value, and as a whole it cannot be compared with the splendid literary products of the bureau of engraving and printing, where authors nre confined to $1, 2, $.'),$ 10, $."0, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills, with acres and acres of Vniied States, Philippine and Panama bonds and postage stamps as a side line. This great mass of literature pro duced by the government printing of fice Is circulated. Some congressmen get us high as P.0,000 copies of such publications as farm bulletins, dairy reports and garden dissertations. Ilourke Cochran, Herbert Parsons, Nick Longworth and a few other con gressional lights who live in cities get exactly the same quota. They are r.ot very useful to their constituencies, but they do come in handy In persuad ing a country congressman that he ought to he for a certain bill in com mittee, particularly If he needs nbout 10,000 copies of a treatise on the chinch bug. To produce this big crop of litera ture the government pay roll is weighted down with a few hundred rapid nnd ready writers. The writers for the most part are newspaper men who prefer nine o'clock rising to fol lowing the patrol wagons and meet ing trains in search of Items for the local papers. One of the most Indefatlgnble of this class of regenerated newspaper men Is MaJ. John M. Carson, chief of the bureau of manufactures. MnJ Cnr son's bureau gets out the consular bulletins. Information on every sub ject under tho sun is sent out by the ream all ready for use In tho pnper. To encourage those writers who arc WHITE HOUSE. sr" . ... I A ft: -A i 4 not as adept with the tpyewriter as with the scissors und paste pot, the major puts out a newspaper edition, printed on only one side with can be clipped und sent out without much of a struggle. MaJ. Carson's willing ad junct is K. J. Gibson, a Philadelphia newspaper man, who devotes much of his time advertising the possibilities for American trade in Patagonia and llindoostan. MaJ. Carson's efforts are paled into Insignificance by the energies of the willing young workers surrounding Gifford Pinchot, chief forester. Mr. Plnchot believes the nation Is con demned to the eternal bow-wows if the forestry and waters be not con served. Conserving them in great glee are nbout fifteen able writers un der the direction of Thomas It. Shipp, secretary of the conservation commis sion. Herbert A. Smith is the forest service editor nnd Findlay Hums is the chief of the bureau of publications. Roy Pullman Is the scout in the field, and everything from a cub reporter to the old fellow who remembers when horses were put to the town fire truck are on the job. The forestry service publicity I"? timely and up to the minute. If there is a forest fire L'ditor Shipp sees to it that a forest fire reporter is equip ped with a camera and notepaper and sufficient mileage to tell the nation what a crime it is to allow forests to be burned up. Statistics on our nat ural resources are found by the vol ume in Shlpp's head and the outside coat pockets of his willing band of press agents. The agricultural department is more given to newspaper writing than any of the branches of the government. The bureau of plant industry takes particular delight in making the lot of the Washington writer and country editor an unceasing frolic. Hinomic Investigations of tropical and subtropi cnl plants, taxonomlc investigations, alkali and drought resistant plnnt in vestlgatlons, pomologlcal dope and an Infinite variety of equally Interesting subjects are at tho finger tips of Set; retary Wilson's able young truth tell ers. George Pullman Hill Is the chief of the bureau of publications. Law rence Crandall's specialty Is good roads. Macadamized roads and oiled roads and all other roads save Rhodes scholarships are given the widest pub licity by Mr. Crandall. TYPHOON SPEED TOO FAST Wind of 135 Miles an Hour Causes Government to Hunt for a New Anemometer. No anemometer could stand a pres sure much greater than imposed on the Instruments of tho Philippine weather bureau In the typhoon which swept over the islands recently, when according to the cable Hdviees, the wind leached a velocity of 135 miles nn hour. The record storm in the United States was that which brought death and destruction to Galveston, Septem ber S, 1H00, nnd then after the nnemometer had marked 135 miles an hour, the Instrument was blown to pieces. So Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the weather bureau in Washington, has turned his attention to the construc tion of a machine em a new principle, designed to withstand nny storm. Prof. Marvin, who is in direct charge of the Instrumental division of the weather bureau. Is soon to be charged with the conduct of an Inter esting set of experiments at Mount Weather, on top of the Hlue Ridge, to ascertain the real error of the pres ent form of anemometer; Its points of wenkness and the best form of instru ment to replace It. The weather bureau already has the nucleus of a good physical laboratory at this sta tion and It is hoped thnt it will be pos sible to evolve an nnemometer thnt will withstand any gale, be accurate and yet self-recording. Washington's Oldest Woman. Washington has nn oldest woman. She Is Aunt Hetsy Smith, who went to tho capital nt tho close of the war ot the rebellion, She was 15 years old at the time of tho outbreak of the war In ISIS, and can remember many incidents of that period. Sho has three times changed hands ns wedding gift to mother, daughter, nnd granddaugh ter of her old mistress. She Is now 112 years old and though not able to walk Is otherwlso pretty spry and l. taken care of by her daughter, who Is really almost as old as she ought to be. LOST REGISTERED LETTERS F0U8DJSQI1EER PLACE Mltsed From a Mangled Mill Bag, They are Recovered From Car Trucks. It does not always follow that the disappearance of registered mall packages Indicate a robbery of the mail. This was demonstrated on The Overland Limited train No. 2 Friday, November 5th, when a pack age of five registered letters from Schuyler disappeared between that point and Omaha. The recovery of the lost package was as strange as Its disappearance. The Schuyler pouch Is picked up from a crane by means of a pouch catcher as the train passes. This pouch catcher ia attached to the mail tar and hooks onto the pouch sus pended from the crane as the train passes. In this particular Instance the pouch catcher did not make a good catch nnd the pouch fell under the wheels of the train and was cut In two. The mail was scattered along the track for a considerable distance, but tho five registered letters, which were In a packet, could not be found when the other mall was picked up. The Impression at once prevailed that the registered package had been found and kept by some one and it was re ported as lost. Postofflce Inspector L. A. Thomp son was started out to investigate. His first visit was to Council Hluffs to make Inquiries of the postal clerks on the car, and scarcely had he reached there when he received word that the registered package had been found by the car cleaner resting snug ly on the trucks under the dining ear, where It had been blown or thrown when tho mail pouch was flung under the wheels at Schuyler. That the package was not injured In the slightest, nor Jarred from Its position on the trucks, is simply an other tribute to the Union Pacific's unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track. Schools for Tuberculous Chlldrsn. Special schools for tuberculous chil dren have now been established in Providence, Hoston, New York, Roches ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn., Chi cago nnd Pittsburg. New York has three schools and Washington, D. C, two. The board of education of New York city is proposing to establish three more, and similar Institutions nre being planned In Detroit, Huffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark, N. J. In cities like Provldenco, noston and New York, w here outdoor schools have been conducted for two years, the re sults obtained from tho treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show tho great ad vantage of this class of institutions. This, coupled with tho experience of open air schools In Germany and Eng land, proves that children can be cured of tuberculosis and keep up with their school work, without any danger to fellow pupils. The Cost of Politics. In his reminiscences of Grover Cleveland George F. Parker tells a story concerning prodigal expendi tures In politics. A rich man who bad been nibbling at the Democratic nomination for governor of New York asked William C. Whitney's advice. This is the advice: "Of course, you ought to run! Make your preliminary canvass, and when you have put in $200,000 you will have become so much Interested in it that yon will feel like going ahead and spending seme money. Refrigerated Staterooms. Refrigerated staterooms are found on three new ships engaged in tho fruit service between New Orleans and Colon. Each room is fitted with a cooling "radiator" operated In con nection with the refrigerating system that has been installed for preserving fruit In transit. Lest One Should Fall. It Is well to moor your bark with two anchors. Publlus Syrus. SECRET WORKERS The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates. Coffee Is such a secret worker that It is not suspected as the cause of sick ness or disease, but there is a very sure way to find out the truth. A lady In Memphis gives an Inter esting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that ho had been using it for some tlmo and was an Invalid. The physician In charge shrewdly suspected that coffee wa3 the "Worm at the root of the tree," and ordered It discontinued with Instructions to use Tostum regularly in its place. The wife says: "We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have glad ly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise his Judgment wns. "Tho use of Postura Instead of cof fee was begun about a year ago, and t has made my husband a strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds In that time and his stomach and heart troubles bave all disappeared. "The first time I prepared It I did not boll It long enough and he said there was something wrong with it. Suro enough it did taste very flat, but the next morning I followed directions carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes, and he remarked 'this Is better than any of tho old coffee.' "We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the bene fit we bave received from leaving oft coffee." Look for the little book, "The Road to ellvllle," In pkgs.
