There were the wheelmarks and deep ground-ruts yet in the road where the hearse had been driven up to the gate, but the yellow hickory leaves, fluttering down like golden rain at every gust of w.nd, were fast obliterating them. Grandaunt Miriam was dead and laid to rest in the sunny corner of the Tillage churchyard, and Adeline and Aurora were lert alone in the world.

And I don't see that there's anything left for us but to keep boarders." "But, who will board with us?" said Adeline, in her feeble, inefficient way. Aurora shrugged her shoulders im- patiently. - "You never had an? faculty, &:• Addie," said she, "and I s'pose itfs too late for you to begin to reform mow.

There was no more work for her She sat at the window, with the time-yellowed letter in her lap, star­ ing out at tbe Autumn leaves as they floated down through tbe misty air outside, thinking--thinking! Aurora glanced at her sometimes, but she did not speak. She herself, a hard-favored masculine woman,had never bad a lover: she could not help feeling a secret reverence for the sis­ ter who had attained this ccown of womanhood: At sunset Adeline rearranged her hair, bathed her face and tied on her Tittle crape bonnet, with the stiff, White frill in front - » "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to show him this letter and tell him all--how it happened." but as she trugged along tbe leaf- carpeted Autumn lanes Dr. Hunt's carriage whirled by. He was sitting in it and he was not alone. As Ade line stopped and looked after it, the Doctor checked bis horse. A pretty, red cheeked girl got out And then the Doctor dove on. Still Adeline stood there, looking at the dust that followed the wheels.

Coxey and his commonweal army arrive'd in the national capital Tuesday. The day--the proudest in the history of Gen. Coxey--was per­ fect in its appointments. Fair weather and a large and good-natured Crowd lined Pennsylvania avenue, from the GBR. x s- coxar. Treasury Department to the Capitol grounds. Around the Peace "monu­ ment at the base of the Capitol grounds the spectators formed a bank of hu­ manity. But not a flag fluttered in the breeze, nor was there a token of wel­ come held' out to the weary army of the commonweal, as it trudged along, except the banner at the local Coxey headquarters. The Commonweal army was astir early upon Bright wood heights with preparations for the great procession to the capital. There was an earb early >reaa. breakfast of eggs, coffee and b; Tents were struck and packed into wagons and the whole army was in line before 9 o'clock. All the men car­ ried staves, on which fluttered white flags with the motto: "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men, but Death to Interest on Bonds." There was much marching and coun­ termarching on the grounds, prancing of steeds and hauling of the commis­ sary wagons into line. The men had passed a cold night, mcst of them sleeping on the ground. Before the start Carl Browne formed the men into a hollow square and put them through a most remarkable drill. The staves were handled like guns, and when Browne shouted "gloria and peace" they cheered three times shrilly and waved their sticks ia tho air. These evolutions were performed by the main body of the army. tv After traversing: four miles the army, headed by a mounted band of those imbeciles in blue coati and pewter " •- ; • : -- her father's column for six miles be­ tween two walls of men and women. She was; Cheered repeatedly. Chief Marsha! Cavi Browne followed just be­ hind this white-robed angel of peace. Then came Commander Coxey, Mrs. Coxey and little Legal Tender, the Commonwealer s youngest child. The six communes of the Commonweal came behind the commander's vehicle. Now and then a cheer burst from the tremendous crowd as the procession passed. Arriving at the Capitol grounds the column turned south along the front and then east again on B street, skirt­ ing the Capitol grounds. All along B street the line of the grounds is marked and the symmetry maintained by a stone retaining wall some two feet high. Bordering the wall and fairly overhanging it is a wide, crosslike strip of bushes, thick as a hedge. Be­ yond this dense brush fringe are the open Capitol grounds, with their wide grass plots and walks. A rank of mounted police was drawn up acrosB New Jersey avenue and along the line of B street. They were there to keep the commonweal parade from entering the ground at that point. But Browne and Coxey were bound to enter., Browne got off his horse and went up> to Coxey s carriage and conferred with that gentleman. The line had come to a halt, it had fairly climbed the hill and the right of the column had New Jersey avenue, which cuts B street and runs north and south about the center of the Capitol grounds^ Coxey left his carriage, and both me4 scaled the low stone wall and disap­ peared in the foliage of the inclosuref Charge of the Mounted Police. As Coxey and Browne ducked into the brush the crowd outside howled its approval. In an instant those valu­ able aids to society, the mounted po­ lice--sixteen in number--came tearing down the B street sidewalk. Men, women and children were knocked right and left before the valorous charge of these sixteen mounted ruf­ fians, whose sole admitted aim was to intercept and apprehend two tres­ passers on the Capitol grounds. That was the crime, mind vou. And the malefactors numbered two. * And six­ teen crazy policemen, as criminally crazy and a* crazily criminal as any who ever in the vice of police making found themselves endowed with club and 6-shooter and horse and a mission THE BAND TiOOft to ride down innocent women and chil­ dren, came charging along a crowded sidewalk for 100 yards to make these arrests. On they came, full tilt, yelling, swearing, cursing, clubs whirling and flying, peo­ ple knocked right and left, women screaming with their children, men cursing. It took only a few seconds, yet by this time Coxey and Browne had worked through the bushes and were pushing along in among the cheering peop'e on the grounds. The the Capitol police, stepped to one him and Lieutenant Kelly, of i great jfticera of side of the city police, was at his other arm. The other officers formed solidly ^bout him, and he was almost carried from the steps of the Capitol. At the foot of the steps the crowd greeted Coxey and the o with a storm of shouts. Again the mounted officers charged. The crowd surged, and women and children fell in the stampede. As Commander Coxey left the white step3 he tossed his type­ written protest, which he had en­ deavored to iead, to the newspaper men who were following him. The p dice escorted Coxey to his car­ riage; where h© stood looking fiercely over the crowd for a moment, and then bowing right and left amid cheers from his followers he JLed the way and was followed to camp by the indus­ trials.

Following the grim-looking officers was the commonweal band of musicians. Then came Bandmaster Thayer, "Oklahoma Sam" and Private Secretary Kirk, who were mounted on the best of horses. Back of these th ree men was a young woman. She was the daughter of Commander Coxey. Mount­ ed upon a horse as white as the blos­ soms of the chestnut trees in the f neighboring yards, the maiden led sixteen tremendous idiots with horses and clubs and silver badges, too late for Coxey and scenting still further openings' for their valorship to win crimson glory and undying fame, squared their horses at the laurels and lilac-, and jumped them over the two- foot wail and "into the slim thicket through which Browne and Coxey had disappeared. There was a crashing, tearing moment as man and horse beat the astounded bushes, and then like ambushed tigers, these police creatures burst on tbe thick-crowded grounds. As these sixteen protectors of publio Interest burst through the bushes they yelled like' demons, and their cluhs eracked heads right and left. There was not a law-breaker in this crowd. It was a soane of peace--a gala sc£ne. There were children romping on the grass, women in white dresses; the inost deadly weapon was a para-sol. Yet fifty men, women and children Were clubbed and trampled on in that One indiscriminate moment of police jtrime. One big negro was clubbed tintil the blood streamed down his ichest. Marshal Browne was being fragged by the neck and shoulders f rom the grounds. His head was un­ covered, his shirt in rags and his face ialmost colorless in rage. During all this excitement a slender man wearing glasses and pale as death in a chalk mine was elbowing his way to the steps of the Capitol. He nervously fumbled a scroll of manuscript in the side pocket ft hi-) coat and daintily lifted his hat to the crowd as it cheer­ ed him. This slender man climbed ten of the marble steps, when he stopped, cleared his throat and placed his hat beneath his arm. The stranger was Jacob SechJy CVxey/ Captain Garden, afternoon has made them a great many friends. No one really believed that an attempt to speak would be ventured. Coxey is as hopieful as usual to-night. He says he expects to make another trial before long. In his protest, which he attempted to read from the Capitol steps, he said: The Constitution of the United States frnar- suteea to all oltlsens the right to peacefully assemble and petition for redress of griev­ ances, and, furthermore, declares that tbe right of free speeeh shall not be abridged. We stand here to^day to test theae guaranties of our Constitution. We chose this place of as­ semblage because It is tbe property of the people, and If It be true that the right of tbe people to peacefully assemble upon their own premises and with. their petitions has been abridged by the passage of laws In direct vio­ lation of tne Conatltution. we are hereto draw the eyes of the nation to this shameful fact. Gen. Coxey said to a reporter at the camp: "This is the beginning of the movement; tbat is ail. The people are with us--the common people. Look at the thousands who cheered our cause. We will remain right here. Other bands of unemployed will join sis. Con­ gress will see tne will of the p?ople and will pass oir bills." . Coxey Under Amif. Wednesday morning Gen. Coxey was arrested, charged with unlawfully en­ tering the United States Capitol grounds and there injuring certain plants and shrubs. The commonweal leader was held in $500 bail and lo'cked up in a cell along with his lieutenants, Carl Browne and Christopher Colum­ bus Jones. Judge Miller, who held Coxey for trial, refused to accept $50J cash bail for his appearance, and it was not until noon that Frank Hume, a wholesale liquor-dealer, secured the commonwealer's release by furnishing real estate security for his appearance when wanted. •, • FARMERS PREPARING FOB WAR.

Mont., correspondence:' In only two localities in the United States can the Rocky Mountains be seen from a steamboat, and both of these are in Montana; first on the Mis­ souri River at Fort Benton, east of the range, and then on the Flathead river and lake, west of it. Surprises await the tourist who descends into the moun­ tain-girted valley of the- Flathead, where he finds everything of a magni­ tude in keeping with the general feat­ ures of Western Montana, where Na­ ture has created rivers, lakes, forests, prairies, and valleys upon a large scale. The Flathead, instead of being a shal­ low rivulet dashing down the mountain sides, is a majestic stream larger than the Mississippi at St. Paul. Flathead Lake is the largest body of fresh water west of the great lakes, and is hut one of a number of pretty bodies of water scat­ tered over the valley. Situated upon the Pacific bide of the continent, the climate gives mild winters and fine summers, much in contrast with the seasons in the same parallel on the At­ lantic coast. There are no blizzards and cyclones. The liberal rainfall has nurtured forests of pine and other trees, not only on the mountain sides, but in the valley itself, the timber being interlaced with prairies which give the country a park-like appearance re­ sembling the oak openings of Michigan. Ohio, and New York. Unlike the soil where pine grows in other localities, here it is rich loam and makes the best kind of agricultural land when cleared. "Seeing is teheving" is an aiage as old as it is true, and tnere are those so incredulous that only with reluctance will they accept any but this kind of 1>roof. To all such a visit to this val-ey is a source of delight, and the com­ mon admission is that "the half has never been told." What a change, too, after the magnificent trip through the Rockies, over which the railway has conquered a path, solid and safe, to pass down among peaceful and attrac­ tive prairies with cultivated fields and gardens, and see busy towns with hun- areds of people engaged in the pur­ suits of peace and home-seeking, where only a short time ago a few Indians roamed in search of game and fish. A few years and thousands more whites will be here sharing the plenty indus­ try is certain to give all willing to woo the earth with its treasures of field, mine, forest and water. Flathead County, formed by the last Legislature, has an area of 7,100 square miles, a territory larger than the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. The Great Northern Rail­ way from its first station in the county on the east to its last on the west runs a distance of 198 miles. The Flathead River and tributaries, with logging waters aggregating 600 miles in length, oonverge at Kalispell, and the manu­ facture of lumber and shingles is be­ coming an important industry. The prinoipal forest trees are the cedar, nr, birch, pine, and tamarack, the lat­ ter often attaining a diameter of six feet, instead of being a mere telegraph pole as in the east. It makes fine fur­ niture, samples of which were seen in the Montana Building at the World's Fair. There is much that is attractive from a health-giving, tcenic and sporting standpoint in this region. Snow peaks are in view all the year round, and the winters are seldom cold enough to close the streams to navigation. Lake Mc­ Donald, near by, is becoming a noted resort. Among the visitors last sum­ mer were Bishop Whipple, of Minne­ sota, and Vice President Webb, of the New York Central Railroad. Lakes and streams abound with trout and the hunter has chances to look along his gun barrel at deer and grouse. Farm­ ers distant from town are said to build high fences around their gardens to keep the deer out. Skins to be seen at stores show that bear are still' to be found. The mountains in all directions con- . tain precious and base metals, and in the northern part of the county large beds of coal and petroleum springs ex­ ist. Railway surveyors have oeen over a route to this secticn and also on a line south to Anaconda and Butte, i New sources of wealth making are be­ ing constantly brought to light as set­ tlement progresses from the common centers along the railway, which gives connections between St. Paul, Minne­ apolis and Puget Sound. Much of £be country is still Government land, and valuable tracts of timber and fa ming land can be taken up under the home­ stead law. Two years ago the site of Kalispell was a vacant spot on the prairie; now it has over L',«o0 people, several banks, three newspapers, schools, churches, electric lights, waterworks, large flouring mill, saw mills, business houses and excellent hotels. * | The other towns along the Great Northern Railway in this ^ountry are Columbia Falls, Pleasant Valley, Jen­ nings, Troy and Libby Creek, the lat­ ter being a prominent paint in the Kootenai mining district.

One of the men with the Narragansett Com­ pany was so near.y blinded that be was at home three days at one t ige> He was not, however, as is said to h*Yf been the case with Caul field, unable to see anything at all. He Was able to grope about, but could see nothing distinctly. Both the men who have been affected at tbe electric lighting company's works are remarkably strong specimens of man­ hood and could not' be called hys­ terical by the widest stretch of the imagination. In Caulfield% case, With the single exception of drooping eyelids, which might have been caused from lack of sleep, his eyes seemed to be perfect. The feature of drooping eyelids tallies exactly w.th the local cases t ited. In fact, that seemed to be one very good reason why they couldn't see. In view of this it seems ouite possible that the difficulty in the;r cases, at least might be called physical r<ithex than hypnotic, which is a term ap­ plied to the Brooklyn case by Dr. Raub. A further argument which would be advanced by tbose inclined to be­ lieve the theory of hysterical blind­ ness a fanciful one is that the Hash, when a switch is thrown, is lar more intense than any that could come from the trolley. The switchboard at the Narragansett Company's sta­ tion is now so arranged that in case | of a flash there is a marble slab an 1 inch and a half thick between the man's eyes and the exact location of the most intense light. Yet Super­ intendent Thomas states that .not later than two wee*s aso he had- to turn bis back to the slab, so power. fully dazzling was the light If left long enough the marble slab would burn like paper. It is believed here that the cases mentioned as having occurred at the electric lighting company's are cases of phys cal inability solely. There has not been tbe slightest indication Vtv? of hysteria If so sudden and Intense a shock as must be resisted on tbe nervous system of these men pro­ duces hysteria, will the theory tbat a trolley fl&sh could hypnotize a per­ son into total blindness for three days find credence/ "".A " tkf# ' •> i: ̂ *{l % i Thanks to Nantucket* , , It was an old custom in many news­ paper offices, says the Worcester Gazette, for the printers to make use of "saving galleys," or little facks with compartments, which they used as a labor-saving device. When,after the paper had been printed, they "distributed" the type, putting the several letters back in their respect­ ive boxes, they would save some of the most frequently recurring words, such as "and," "the," "when," etc., putting them in a compartment of the rack.t ) be drawn out when needed in setting up the next day's paper. If it were in a seaport where some ship news was printed the words ••ship," "brig." "bark," eta, would be added, and also the names of cer­ tain ports, as "Boston," "Provid­ ence," "Nantucket." If the printer by mistake drew the wrong word from the galley, taking "ship" instead of "bark," or "Salem" instead of '•Portsmouth," the error would prob­ ably be discovered by the proof­ reader, hut in the hurry of going to press it sometimes escaped detection. An amusing instance of the mis­ takes incident to tbe system occurred In a certain office The printer was setting up an account of the experience of a vessel which was driven before the wind upon a lee shore. Death in its most dreadful form stared the crew and passengers in the face; but at the last criticafcaioment, when the ship was just on the point of being dashed upon the rocks, it glided be­ tween two dreadful ledges "into a little bay, where tbe anchor was thrown, and safely held the gallant craft, saved from destruction by the merciful interposition of divine Nantucket!" The readers of that pa- per were thunderstruck, but printers saw that the compositor had pulled ^!,'v "A tbe wrong word from his galley.
