Sale to begin at one o'clock sharp.
On October 31 last we advertised a Dispersion Sale of Shorthorns
at Tscumseh. The money stringency and temporsy lack confidneace at
that time made it look impossible to bold this sale and we withdrew
twenty-five head, the top of our herd, from the offering.

THE DAMSEL IN
DISTRESS
By Horaoe ZoHars)
I had 'been reading stories in th
weeklies abont blase club men going
forth in the streets and the parks of
Crest cities looking for strange adven
tures. In all these stories, even in
the most commonplace parts of the
city, adventure and romance invaria
bly jumped oat and greeted these mod
ern knights errant
After reading several of these tales
of adventure I became convinced that
the unexpected awaited on every cor
ner and in every ten-cent lunchroom
of the city. All that was needful was
to keep one's eyes open.
All of these fiction heroes were rich,
blase clubmen, possessing good looks,
"immaculate clothes," and time to
barn if they wished to dispose of it
in that way. My position in life is
different, in fact my position is that of
clerk at the shirt counter of a depart
ment store. But I am called a "swell
dresser by the girls of my acquaint
ance, although I have not acquired the
distinction of being "immaculately
garbed." On Sunday night I am as
letsarely as the idlest of the idle rich,
and I have invested in a cane, or
rather, a walking stick. I would affect
even a monocle if I were not afraid
that I might run across some of my
friends.
One Sanday night, therefore, I
sailed out In search of adventare. In
the most approved knight errant style
I wandered aimlessly until about ten
'clock before a chance presented it
self for daring deeds or gallant res
cues. I was beginning to think that
perhaps I had on the wrong colored tie
er maybe I did not look sufficiently
bored, when I spied a lonely maiden.
.we was nxue ana sne naa an appeal
ing and pathetic look as she darted
hasty glances up and down the street
Catching sight of me, she hurried
toward me with a relieved expression.
"Oh. please, won't yon walk with
me a little wayr she said. "I am
frightened. I forgot my purse and had
to walk home and that big colored
atan across the street has been fol
lowing me. I think he's a robber. I'm
terribly frightened. I stopped under
the light here, for I was afraid to go
oa into thedark streets."
Now in setting out In search of ad-
ttare I did not have a definite idea.
of the ways and means of making a
gallant rescue of a distressed damseL
I had a vague idea that I would say:
"Back, yon cur. Take that and that"
"that" being a right swing to the
point of the Jaw. Whereupon the low-
scoundrel would "slink away dls-

comfited and muttering curses."
I looked across the street at the big
negro, and, lo, there was the villain of
the piece all right He looked the
part, but he did not look as If he
would "back" or "take that and that"
without generously returning the pres
ent I thought perhaps discretion was
the better part of valor, and that duty
bade me remain, by the side of the
maiden in order to allay her' fears.
I told her that I would wait with her
on the corner until the car came, and
then would see that she got home
safely. .. t
Finally when a lazy car bore in
sight the girl told me that it was not
the right one, but I would have taken
a hay wagon to get away from there,
for during the wait the 'burly negro
had stood watching us, probably plot
ting how best he could overcome me.
Explaining to the girl that I had noth
ing to defend myself with except my
light walking stick, I suggested that
we take this car until we had left the
negro behind, when we could get off
and wait for the proper one. This we
did. although by so doing I had to pay
an extra fare.
When the girl was free from the fear
of the negro I noticed how attractive
and interesting she became. In fact I
was looking forward to a future ac
quaintance based oa the service I had
that night rendered and was thinking
that my search for adventure was a
great success; but when we reached
her home there was a greater fall than
that of H empty Dumpty.
"Won't you come in?" she said. "I
want to have my husband thank you
and pay you back the carfare." Botth
of which he did, thanking me in
sonorous tones and handing me a
nickel with great grace and impres
siveness. And that was the end of the
adventure.
But I have figured out since then
that in unnecessary car rides to and
from his house and in changing cars I
had spent 25 cents; and he gave me a
nickel.
A Real Luther -Coin.
The collection of coins of a St
Petersburg scholar, says the Berliner
Tageblatt, was recently overhauled
and a unique Luther coin was discov
ered. It came originally from Nov
gorod, where it was found in an old
house which was being reconstructed
On one side is the head of Luther,
which is also shown when the coin ia
reversed, but with a fool's cap upon
his head. On the reverse side there is
a likeness of the pope, which also ap
pears when the coin is reversed, but
the head is ornamented on the -reverse
side with devil horns. The Latin in
scription explains that Luther be
comes a fool and the pope a devil
by reversing the piece. It is believed
that there is no similar coin in exist
ence.

THEY WERE
Ik BLIND
Take one last look at baby's bene-
rtifal eyes, Chester," said young Mrs.
Herrick, aa they waited oa the star
Hon platform for the train. MIt'a
cruel to think that yoa will not see
her again for a whole week, but we
mast remember all the friends down
to Bixby who have never aeea her
even oaceV
"That's a fact" Herrick agreed,
generously v "Ton write me every word
they say about her, Bessie especially
Uncle Doctor. I bet he'll be aston
ished to see sack a tne, angelic baby."
"I know he will. The truth is, one
reason I'm so eager to take the baby
down there la that she's never had
any real appreciation outside of oars.
It's no wonder, ia a big, selfish city
like Chicago, where every one ia ab
sorbed' ia his own affairs. Why, even
the grocer's boy acts as if he were
doing me a favor when I tell him he
may look at her asleep In her basket!
I'm jest going to revel in seeing fa
ther and mother and all the Bixby
friends go wild over the little darling.
There's the train."
The next morning, arrived at the
home of her girlhood. Mrs. Herrick
waited la a flutter- of anticipation,
while her own mother cuddled the
wonderful baby.
"Ton haven't once said how pretty
she is, mother." she complained at
last
The grandmother smiled. "Ton
see, my babies all had dark hair and
a great deal of it right from the start,"
was her apologetic reply. "She's a
nice, healthy little girl, though, dear.
Don't you mind!"
"Hello, there!" broke la a boyish
voice as Mrs. Herrlck's young brother
bounced in at the door. "How do,
sis? Where's that kid? Gee, but
isn't he funny! This is your Uncle
Dan, sir."
"What are you thinking of. Dan?
Your little niece is a girl."
"Oh, it's a girl, I know," sheepishly.
"I wasn't thinking for a minute.
Wasn't Chester awful disappointed
'cause it wasn't a boy?"
"Of course not! We both wanted
a little blue-eyed, golden-haired daugh
ter." "Call this golden hair?" Inquired
the baby's grandfather, whimsically,
as he bent and stroked the scanty
down. "In my day we'd have called
that a towhead."
Tow!" echoed the ruffled little
mother. "You ought to see the baby's
hair gleam and glint In the sunlight!
This house is so shaded with trees
that you can't half see her. Here,
I'll take her. mother. She's tired and
sleepy little blessing! Do I go to
my own old room?"
Prom her own old room Mrs. Her
rick issued that afternoon proudly
bearing a freshly dressed baby. On
the stairs ahe stopped to pull down
one of the petticoats, so that its fine
lace and 'infinitesimal feather stitch
ing should peep from below the dainty
dress.
"Nan Fielding was always so crazy
about pretty clothing that she'll ap
preciate the work oa that petticoat"
she was thinking, as she hurried down
to the parlor, where one of the friends
of her recent girlhood was waiting to
see her.
"Well, well, Bess!" was Nan's greet
lag.
"Awfully glad to see yoa, if yoa
k like a ghoat of yourself. So I
do look
this is the wonderful infant? Let
me get a look at the little tike. Well,
I declare! My goodness! Did you
ever!"
With that Nan definitely dropped
the subject of the baby and began to
tell about the coarse of study in the
literary dab.
If Nan's call was a disappointment
the visit of the married friend was a
tragedy.
"What a mite!" she exclaimed. "I
suppose she looks so little to me
because my Harold was always so
big. And I don't think she's as strong
as she ought to be, Bess. At her age,
Harold would straighten himself right
up. But then. Harold had cut two
teeth when he was as old as she is;
he's a sort of a prodigy. I can hardly
wait for you to see him."
The event of the day was still to
come. Dear old Uncle Doctor, the
man who had officiated at the advent
of little Mrs. Herrick herself and who
had made a tremendous pet of her
ever since, was coming to view her
baby. She was especially eager to
hear what he woald say.
When he walked la the first thing
he did was to pick up the child and
carry her to the window, where he
studied her at arm's length for tally
a minute. Then he turned to the
little mother, who stood, awaiting his
comment her heart la her eyes.
"Her face," he said, amiably, "seems
to' be perfectly symmetrical, except
that one eye Is slightly strabismic."
That evening. In her room alone,
Mrs. Herrick sat down at a desk to
fulfill her husband's request, bat a
lamp swelled in her throat as the va
rioas comments oa the baby crowded
Into her mind. At last she laid down
her pen abruptly and tiptoed over to
the bed. There lay the baby, wide
awake. Regardless of rales, her moth
er snatched her ap aad dropped into
a rocker.
"Let them be blind if they want
to," she whispered to the soft little
neck. "Your mother knows that
you're the beaatlfalest loveliest baby
ia the world yoa nlcey-picey. goody
poody, sweety-tweety!"
After that ahe felt mack better.

Her passengers were happy. They
watched the passing steamers. The
city was soon left behind.
The waves began to show their
strength. The number of boats en

greater distance separated them. The
call to supper was responded to by
the merry passengers.
The operator of the "wireless"
stood near the rail. He was yet off

The rhythmic throbbing of the en

him more valuable to bia company.
His meditation was interrupted.
"Are yoa the wireless operator?"
queried a passenger. "Yes," waa the
reply.
"I wonder if yoa know a friend of

one of the vessels plying along' the

"It's a Uttle tame." was the reply.
"I wish it would storm. I have never
been in a storm at sea."
"One experience would be enough."
replied the operator.
The two young men entered the
operator's room. The dynumo was
started. The Ieyden jars were soon
charged. The operator touched the
key. A flash followed like the report
of a pistol. The loud snapping aad
cracking of the discharges, accom

flooded the room with the odor of
osone. One outgoing message fol

The passenger placed it -snugly to h:r

but that there was another impres

duced by drawing a diamond over a
plate of glass.
"Lightning," muttered the operator,
as he took the headpiece. 'There Is
a terrific storm somewhere. I will
try to communicate with your friead
Jack. I have not heard from him for
several days. He is somewhere down
the coast I will get la tone with

For some' time the two sat breath

the visitor to adjust it He did so;
and as he listened all that could be

of a diamond cutting glass.
The passenger went on deck. The

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
One of the Meet Powerful Attractiono
'owe on wwfffBBMsws
Very few women realise what as
effect a sweet voice has on a man.
A woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch
ingly attired and attractive in every
way, aad yet directly she opens hei
mouth and speaks the spell is broken,
the charm Is gone. And this need
never be.
Very few voices are so naturally
bad that they will not succumb to
training, and the voice can be trained
to be just aa sweet aad gentle as one
pleases to make it
A woman should speak in a low
voice. She should not nllow her
voice to raise Itself to a high pitch.
A shrill-voiced woman is terrible.
She should not shout her orders to
the servants down the stairs, nor csll
to any one who may be ia another
part of the house. This shouting aad
raising of the voice spoils the tone
and quality of the voice and tends to
mske ifcr harsh. A pretty voice is n
powerful attraction in a woman and
she who would odd to her charms a
wondrous fascination should cultivate
a voice "ever soft gentle and low."
