OXE day a man with a downcast face blew into the village grocer's place.
"I've dealt with you many moons," he said; "I've bought your codfish and
prunes and bread, and I always paid when I said I would, and .you doubt
less know that my credit's good- Now I'm out of work and without a dime, and
I'd like to buy a few things on time." And the

VARIOUS MERCHANTS soon would have better luck. He told his tale
to the butcher, then, at the drygoods -store, to
the clothing men: they all renienlfoeretr that he
had paid, and they w.ere pleased when-they got his trade; and now that luck for
a time had changed, he found no one of these jnen estranged. They sold him
things in their stately stores, and wished him luck when he left their doors. And
then the man of the luckless star dropped in at last at the booze bazar. He told
his tale; he was all, all in, but wanted credit for beer and gin. His coat was
fanned by the barkeep's feet, and he bounced two yards when he hit the street.

CAPT. VILLIERS found a telegram
awaiting him at his club that
afternoon. It was from Col.
Lebrun, his friend from boyhood and
brother officer through several cam
paigns; and it read:
"Must see you. Come out to my
place tonight. On no account fail."
CapiVilliers folded up the telegram,
proceeded to the smoking room, and
there remained for some time reading
the latest, edition of the "Soir." His
attention , was confined to the columns
headed, 'The "Vincennes Mystery," and
he followed with close interest the re
port of the evidence "given at the in- j
quest that day. Laying down the. pa
per presently, he gazed reflectively
out of the window until disturbed by
the club waiter switching on the elec
tric lights. Then he stood up quite
suaaeniy, .clicking his heels together.

Farmers are buying Iherally in all lines. Prices in general continue to decline.
The drouth which h3 held the entire west for months has been broken and winter

Another moment and the captain was
back in hlsv chair. Shortly afterwards
he read that the coroner's inquest in
connection with the famous "Vincennes
Mystery" had terminated In a verdict
of "wilful murder agajnst some person
or persons unknown." He seemed to
be rendered more impassive than ever
by the news.
Col. Lebrun was a bachelor living
in a villa a little distance above Su-resnes.
It was pastes o'clock when Capt
Villiers arrived, Wi a voice hailed him
from the darkness'-Bs, he reached the
door.
"That you, Villiers?"
"Yes."
"I'm here. On the veranda gald the
voice.
The captain turned, seeing the red
glow of the cigar as Lebrun ro3e up
from his chair. He ascended the steps
and shook hands. .
"Well?", he said.
"Well, Villiers?"
and another's."
"Yes. True. I understand all that."
"I wish there were another way."
"It does not matter,' said the cap

LebrUn. "It will have to be tonight,"
he continued, getting "to his feet. "You
can, of course, assure me that after
wards the two affairs will not be connected?-

"I was authorized to say so," an
swered Lebrun. "Unofficially, of course,
but you can rely on my authority."
"Good. Well, I must now be off."
"Have you decided what to do?"
I 'I shall catch the western night ex
press, and attend to it in the car. It's
as good a place as any, J think."
"Have you a weapon?"
"I have carried one ever since I
left one of them with him but I kept
the other in case it might be needed
for other work."
They stood awkwardly for a mo
ment. "
"Well, it seems that's all," said Le
brun. "Goodby, Villiers." '
"Goodby, Lebrun. You're a good
sort; always were. I'm sorry you have
been dragged into this mess."
They wrung hands silently and
parted.

One 'Icsal merchant says he has sold 4000 worth of jewelry to one racetrack
man this winter; does the merchant stop to consider that the money came out
of the pockets of various El Pasoass and was gained dishonestly? Business of
this sort is not sound. Have we forgotten that an EI Paso chief of police publicly
declared only seven years ago that "Bunco men are a good thing for the town"?
Some of our people had begun to think we had outgrown those mistaken notions.
Lebrun raised his hand.
"The drinks are on - theT table here.
What'll you take?" -
"Without answering, Villiers walked
to the table and helped himself. There
was no word spoken for a long time.
Then Lebrun opened abruptly.
"IJhaye been in Vincennes today"
"Vincennes?" said Capt. Villiers. ..
"Vincennes," repeated Lebrun.
"Well?"
"Attending that inquest."
'Oh, 5-es." Capt. Villiers reached for
his glass. "I have been reading the
evidence," he added. "A curious case.

HE third annual convention of
the Southern Commercial con
gress which will mppt lr Ar
lanta tomorrow is to be. above all
things, a confidence of men intereste-i
in the physical re c very of the south.
This meeting comes just 50 years afte
the organization of the secession move
ment which precipitated '-the civil wa
aud -wrecked the cuthern states.
President Taft, former president
Koosevelt, governor Woodrow Wilson,
secretary of agriculture James Wilson,
these are some f the famous men
who vill speak before the convention
on rhr broad aspects of the movement
for "a greater nation through a great
er south." Scores of practical men,
representing every phase of industry
and commerce, "will speak during the
three days of the session, not only to
the general convention, but to the 15
separate and distinct sectional coun
cils. To Remote soutn's Handicap.
The Southern Commercial congress
was organized three years ago to work
for the south' physical recovery, and
to -advance the commercial interests
of the southern section of the United
States, in the hope of x neutralizing
those influences thaf still operate as a
handicap to southern commercial pro
gress. It is 50 years since the civil war
began, and we are fond of saying that
it was all over long ago, that nothing
of It remains but a memory. In the
northern and western states that mem
ory and the quarterly distribution of
pensions is Indeed about all that re
mains. But the south has more con
crete reminders than these. For,
strange as It may seem toN many peo
ple of other sections, the south is only
now beginning to see clearly ahead
of it the day of complete physical re
covery from the havoc wrought by the
four years' war.
Not only was the war itself devas
tating in its destruction of life and
property, In its interruption of produc
tion and commerce, In its inversion
of political conditions, but it also left
the south too weak and too poor to
meet at the time certain problems
which arose quite Independently of the
war.
Once King; Now Tyrant.
For Instance, the rapid Improvement
of agricultural implements made it im
possible for the south to compete with
the level prairie states of the middle
west in' the production of wheat, and
this circumstance forced the southern
ers to go on with their ruinous devo
tion to the one-crop principle. Before
the war slavery had made cotton king,
after the war the changed agricultural
conditions made cotton tyrant. Only
In the last two or three years has
of the country m this essential feature
of education.
In other movements for the general
advancement of all conditions affect
ing the material and physical condi
tion of the people the same forward
tendency is evident. In the Atlanta
convention the 15 sectional meetings
will consider matters relating to 15
separate Jnovements, the nature of
which is Indicated by the name of the
sections: Agriculture, commerce, com
mercial organizations, education, for
ests, good roads, health, immigration,
insurance, land reclamation, manufac
tures, public 'service corporations, 'real
estate advertising and water resources.
Not least amonpr these In importance
is the section dealing with health.
The south now Is pushing forward the
first systematic rural sanitary cam
paign eier undertaken in America.
The Immediate cause olf this work was
the prevalence of hookworm disease,
but the same methods undertaken to
stamp out that evil also will go far
toward ending the ravages of typhoid
fever and other diseases which are the
result of insanitary conditions. Elev
en southern states now are working
in this campaign, with more than 70
men in the field. The results accom
plished already are well worth while;
and indicate that the hookworm dis
ease will be stamped out in 10 years'
time, and that the efficiency of the
southern laboring man will thereby be
Increased 50 percent.
Seeka 31aterlal Growth.
This congress is the expression of
the determination of the southern
people fco take advantage of every
possible opportunity to advance the
material and moral condition of their
section; to remove the handicap placed
upon it by the war and Its results;
and to place the south on an equal
footing with the other parts of the
country in a commercial and Indus
trial sense.
The purpose of the convention Is
not so much to point out the oppor
tunities' of the south as it Is to show
the way-to take advantage of those
opportunities. It will be an eminent
ly practical conference of practical
men engaged in a practical work.

This .Strategic Point
THE present insurrection in Mexico has demonstrated the strategic importance
of El Paso as a military center. Troops were needed in this vicinity to
preserve the neutrality law and they had to be sent in from all directions.
Some came from San Antonio, some from California, some from Dakota, some from
Hew Mexico, some from Kansas, and some from Arizona. -
"With a large post at El Paso this would not have been necessary. El Paso
is the most logical border point for the location of a big army post. If has the
railroad facilities for moving troops in any direction and it is the most central
location along the border of Mexico. If the insurrection continues, there is going
to be need for many troops along the border for a considerable time. Troops may
be needed at intervals on the border and no point is more available than El Paso
at which to hold them.
Probably the department officials have already come to realize the importance
of the location of El Paso since the present troop movement and border trouMe
and it might be a good time to bring again to their attention the advisability
of enlarging Fort Bliss. Oncethe department is fully in accord with the vews
of the people of EI Paso on this subject, it will be much easier to condnce
congress of the advisability of appropriating money to enlarge the fort. Aftr all,
congress decides these matters, but it generally wants official approval and reentry
the officials at Washington have not been strongly enthusiastic over thf.further
enlargement of the post.

fool was ''the woman's husband, and

Farm Hands Iu Mills.
The mills and factories levied on
the mountains and the hill farms for
their labor. They found it there, and
as a consequence hundreds of thou
sands of people have been taken from
the farms and put In the mills. But
it must be remembered that there are
laims and farms. The word may bring
before your mind's eye a beautiful
pastoral picture of contentment and
Independence. But that is not the
kind of a farm the mills have drawn
upon In the south.' They have taken
paople from the one-roomed, window
less, dirt-floored .cabins and, in many
cases, have materially Improved their
condition by taking them Into the mill
villages. '
But still the south suffers from a
lack of men to do its work. The mills
have robtfed the land. The land can
not yield full measure because there
are not enough men to till It North
Carolina has earty a half million few
er acres in cultivation than it had
in 1861, but it prosperous manufac
turing centers produce annually four
times the wealth that the whole state
yielded 50 years ago. South Carolina
hass not nearly as nfany acres of farms
now as when the civil war began, but
the lettuce beds In the immediate vi
cinity of Crfarleston bring in more
money each year than did the entire
cotton crop of the state the year Lin
coln was elected.
It is not that the south is not pros
perous, for it is. It is that the south
is not as prosperous as It should be,
that It is not able for one reason or
another to make the most oflts op
portunities. That is why the able and
earnest men of the south are lr con
ference at Atlanta- to devise ways, and
means for the complete physicalV re
covery of the section.
Wilson Helps South.
In recent years no one man has done
more for the south than the secretary
of agriculture, James Wilson. He has.
made it especially his business to helpu
the south to realize the enormous pos
sibilities of its agricultural resources.
The Boys' Corn clubs, the extension of
agricultural education, the lectures of
the field agents all these things are
beginning to show their effect

very young men agreeable;
women who, perhaps, have watched the
waning of romance in the eyes of their
husbands, and who, after a decade of
years, when life has seemed verging
toward the commonplace, suddenly
realize that they possess the power to
attract some younger manrand to stir
his heart with a feeling stronger than
friendship.
Almost every woman possessed of
any mental or physical charms has
had; the opportunity for such an ex
perience. Too often this opportunity has been
seized, and the youth has been led
on to make a young fool o himself
which flatters the woman's vanity.
while she has been quite unconscious
that she herself was playing an old
role of air older fool.
Occasionally, a woman possesses the
good sense, and the pride and the
self-respect, to curb the impulses of
the too romantic youth before they
develop into passion, and to change
him from an adoring swain into a, de- i
lightful friend.
