10 THE TIMES: MARCH 3, 1913 So Personal W fV p AIKEN (Continued A half hour Inter, Mnct-ran saw lis thief leave his tent. He was In fresh Hnens. "I wouldn't swnp plnces with Mm this minute! She'll be as mad ns a wet hen !" Mrs. Hnrdln, from her bed by hor Screen window, saw him coming. She Slipped Into a seminesllKoe of alter ate rows of lnce nnd swiss construct ed for such possible emergencies. Sli dld'not make the mistake of smooth ing her hair; her Instinct told her that the fluffy disorder bore out the use of the negligee. She was sew Ing In her rntnnda when Rlckard's knock sounded on the screen door. respite his protests she started wa ter boiling in her chafing dish. He had not time for tea, he declared, but she Insisted on making this call of a social nature. She opened a box of sugar wafers, her zeal, that of a child with a toy kitchen; she was playing doll's house. Rlckard made several openings for bis errand, but her wits sped like a gopher from his labored digging.. 8he met his mood with womanly dig nity; she tutored her coquetries, with held her archness. He found he would have to discard diplomacy, blurt out his message; use bludgeons for this scampering agility. "My mission Is a little awkward, Mrs. Hardin. I hope you will take it all right, that you will not be of- j fended." "Offended V Her face showed alarm. "It's about Ling. He's a qtieor fel low; they all are, you knn-.v." He , was blundering like a schoolboy t:n- . der the growing shadow In tlortj'.s blue eyes. "They resent authority that Is, from women. Ho Is a tyrant, ling Is." j "Yes?" Ah, she would not help him. Let him flounder! "He wants to bo let alone; h , doesn't appreciate your kind he'p, Airs. Hnrdln." "Oh!", ner ryes were hot with! tears angry tears. She could not speak or would net. She sat in her j spoiled doll's hii.;p, all her pleasure in her toy dir.lu'S, her pretty lit.ery, : ruined. He could not care i he could huniilleto her bo. It was the most Vivid moment of lur llff. Not even when Rlckard had left her, with his k!5sos stiil warm on her lips, had she felt so outraged. He was treating her ' as though shn were a servant dis charging her because she wus the wife of Hardin. Her eyes grew Mack with anger; she hated them both; be- tweea them, their jealousy, their ri 'valry, what had they made of her life? She remembered the woman she had seen In his rnmada ; she had heard that the Mexican was in camp, em ployed by Rtcknrd. IJrr thoughts were like swarming hornets. "He's nn ungrateful beast, Mrs. Hardin. I told Mm I would not let you waste your kindness one in.-tant longer " Oh, she understood ! A bitter pleas ure to see hira so confused. Rlckard, before whose superior appraisement she had so often wilted ! She would not help him out, never! She rose when he paused. He thanked her for meeting hira half way, nnd her smile was Inscrutable. "So I'm discharged?" ' "You can't be discharged if you've never been employed, can you? -Thank you once again, and for your tea. It was delicious. I wish Ling would give us tea like that." Boorish, all of It, and blundering! Why wouldn't he go? When he had hurt her so ! had hurt her so ! Her hand met Ms, but not her eyes. If he did not go quickly something would happen ; he would see her cry ing. The angels that guard blunderers got Rlckard out of the tent without a suspicion of threatening tears. She threw off her negligee and the pale blue slip; the tears must wait for that. Then she Cong herself on her bed and shook It with the grif of wounded vanity. That evening the chief had a visi tor. The wife of Maldonado, some of the fear pressed out of her eyes, brought In his laundered khaki: socks, darned and matched; all missing buttons replaced. "I haven't worn a matched sock he told her, "for months. That's great. enora. , He wanted to get to bed, but sho lin gered. She wanted to talk to hfn about her troubles; he had cautioned her against talking about them In camp, so she overflowed to him whenever she found a chance about Maldonado, the children, Ltipe. It was getting wearying, but he could not shove the poor thing oat. Senora Maldonado gave a sharp In take of breath, an aborted scream. Rlckard, too, saw a man's figure out Side the screen door. The Mexican woman pressed a frightened hand to ber heart. Of- course It was the venge ful Maldonado he would kill ber Tf I am Intruding," It was the yolc of. Hardin. - "Come right In," welcomed Rlckard. Get along, senora." The Maldonado lipped oot Into the night, her hand stfll against ber heart. Hardin,, a zvU o vom wider Ma I I arm, entered with a rough sneer on ; his face. A dramatic scene, that, he had interrupted ! And Rlckard, who did not like to have women in camp. White women ! ' Rlckard, Btill sleepy, asked him to sit down. "I wanted to speak to you about those concrete aprons. They tell me you've given an order not to have them." Rlckard resigned himself to a long argument. It was three o'clock when Hardin let him turn In. When he was getting ready for bed be remembered the melodramatic scene Hardin had entered upon. He stared comprehendlngly at the screen door seeing with understanding Har din's coarse sneer the Maldonado, breathing fast, her hnnd over her heart. "Of course he'll think good lord, these ptvple will make me Into an old woman ! I don't care what the whole caboodle of them think!" Five minutes after blowing out his candle he was deeply sleeping. CHAPTER XXV. Smudge. From her tent, where she was writ ing a letter that lagged somehow, In nes Hardin had seen Rlckard go to her sister's tent. She did not need to analyze the sickness of sight that watched the dancing step acknowl edge its Intention. It meant wrr-tch-edness. for Tom. At a time when he most needed gentleness and sympathy rasped as he was by his humiliations and disappointments how could any woman be so cruel? As for Rickard. he was beneath contempt if it were tnu Gerty "8 story, told in shrugs and dashes. She had jilted him for Tom; and tMs his revenue? She had not known that she had such feeling as the thought roused In her. It proved what the blood tie Is, this tigerish passion sweeping through her, as her eyes watched that closed tent it was for love for Tom, pity for Tom. Sex honor why, Gerty 'did not know the meaning of the words ! How long would it be before Tom would see what every one else was seeing? What would he do when ha knew? Haling Rickard already, bitter as he was Sho was not so biased as he. She could seo why Marshall had had to re organize. Estrada had shown her; and MncLean. Her sense of justice had done tiie rest. Rickard had proved his efficiency ; the levee, the camp, the military discipline all showed the gen eral. Whether he were anything of an engineer, time would tell that. It v.-as a long call he was making! Sup pose Tom were to come back? She must watch for him make some ei cusf; to pull hira In if he should come hnrk before that other went Hate ful, furh eavesdropping ! A prisoner to that man's gallivanting! For an Instant rhe did not recognize the figure outshltj Gertys tent. Her fears saw Tom. She reached the screen door in tln.e to see Rickard lift; Ills hat to a disappearing flurry of ruf-1 fles.

"I must remember to speak of her to Gerty," tjie determined. - "She prob ably does r.ot know that there is A washerwoman In camp." It was a week later before she re membered to speak of the Mexican woman "who could wash." The 'two women were on their wny to their tents from the mess breakfast. Senora Maldonado wus leaving MacLean'a tent with a large bundle of used, clothes under her arm.

Twenty-flve people engaged in agricultural exten sion work, in the state met at the Hartford County Farm Bureau Office at 30S Church street and discuss, d plans for a statewide educational campaign to teach the public the value of milk as a food and to en courage its use. As the result of the campaign now going on in Hartford, the Fairfield County Farm Uureau is making plans to launch a similar campaign in Bridgeport soon and the New Haven County Farm Bu reau has already organized and will start the campaign in all probabil ity next week. Those interested i.i the plan in JMew Haven have al ready raised $2,000 to support the movement. ' Professor Richard B. Dodge from j the extension service of the Con necticut Agricultural College called the meeting to order at S o'clock, j After saying a few words in regard to the purpose of the meeting he called on E. A. Brown, county agri cultural agent for the Hartford Countv Farm Bureau to outline the campaign as it was being conduct ed here. Mr. Brown said that the educa tional work was divided into two parts. "Food Value and Vses of Milk" and "Cost of Production and Distribution." He then went on to show the Farm Cureau was using every possible means to reach the public. A corps of speakers has been arranged to appear before varioi city organizations at their meetings. An essay contest has been sent to the schools offering ?Ci5 in prizes. He pointed out posters, slides in ihe theatres. demonstrations and exhibits would all hlp to bring be fore the public the value of milk as a food. After Mr. Brown htnd outlined the educational plan a discussion fol lowed in which the following took part: J. W. Alsop. Dr. F. H. Jenk ins, of the State Experiment Station Professor G. C. White of the Con necticut Agricultural College, Louise IX Holbrook of the United States Deparlment of Agriculture, I. A. Hfvan and H. D. Deetz of New Haven County Farm Bureau.

THE BIRTH OF MIN'NESOTA The first separate government for ? .Minnesota was esiaDiisneo iy ae-L ui the United States Congress passed f.:venty years ago today, when it was made a territory with St. Paul as capital. The Minnesota country was formally taken over by France in Jn 1760 it was annexed t3 the British dominions, and six years later Jonathan Carver, an Englishman, ex plored a considerable part of it. Af ter the American revolution parts of Minnesota were successively includ ed in the territories of Indiana, Up per Louisiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis-; consin and Iowa. The territorial gov- eminent formed in 1849 had as its western oounaary tne r.tissouri anu White Earth rivers, thus including- a la r pre part of tho present stales of North and South. .Dakota. Minneapo lis had its beginning; as the flour city in 1S22, when the first mill in Min nesota was ert-d !1 on the site of the present city. A log chapel erected by Father Gal tier in 1S41, and dedicated to St. Paul, was the beginning of the capital city. Seven years later Har riet F. Bishop, the first school teacher in St. Paul, wrote in her diary: "J. R. Olewett came to Mr. Irwin e's house and said, 'My! how this town is growing! I counted the smoke of eighteen chimneys this morning1." Dul"th ?as 'oun?ed n J856' bu oc cupies the site of a trading post es- tabHshed by Sieur du Luth In 1678 the first settlement in Minnesota. TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY As a result of abuses of the patron age system, the United States Con gress passed a. law forty-eight years ago today, under which the President appointed a civil service commission. The competitive examinations were violently opposed by politicians, and, two years later, despite the ureings of President Grant, Congress refus ed to appropriate money to carry them on. Despite early setbacks, the United States Civil Service has extend ed until there nre now about 400,000 positions filled in this manner, about fifty-eight per cent of which are sub ject to competitive examinations. Mothers! An Appeal For Your Children Look back at your childhood days. Remember the physic that mother Insisted on caste oil, salts or cathartics. How you hated them. How you fought them. How you dreaded their after-effects. That was all .wrong, but then nobody knew, better. With our children it's different.' 1 The day of harsh physics is over. iWe don't force the bowels now ; we coax therrt, 0 jWe have no dreaded after-effects. rAnd the dose is a candy tablet. 'Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simpljf Hon't know what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender bowels are harmed by them. The modern way is to give a gentle laxative morf frequently. To keep the bowels always active. The best method is Cascarets. Cascarets are candy tablets. Children love their pleasant taste. They- cost only 10 cents a box, with full direction for children's dosage at all ages: Babfcss tool 1 Give Cascarets, then don't wrry they never disappoint. ! ING PERSONAL ! ABO UT PERSONAG! Mrs. W.

CHURCH RELAXES FASTING RULES An noun cement was made yesterday in all Roman Catholic churches that special religious exercises would be held on Wednesday and Fridays of each week during the seven weeks of Lent.

The distribution of the ashes will take place immediately after mass, and the same- ceremony will be re peated at the evening- services, 7:30. A circular from the Rt. Rev. John J. Nllan. Bishop of the Diocese of T-Tartford, was reid at all masses yesterday. informing the congrega tions that all fast " days during the Penitential season this year are to be dispensed with, excepting Fridays, which are classed as days of absti nence. This relaxation of fasting is due to the weakened condition of the nation as a result of the influenza epidemics. STRtTLESS BIPLAXES TO CARRY MAIL TO ODTGOIXO SHITS Xew uses for the airplane are beinr found almost daily, the latest being the carrying of papers and consignee's mall to ships after they have left port. Much time has been lost and cargo has been delayed while waiting for consignee's papers and shippers have long been awaiting: a remedy. The Kerry Steamship Company has solved the problem by the use of the air plane. This shipping company is to operate a fleet of planes, among them the Christmas "Bullet," which is a etrutless and wireless bipla.ne and is said to make a speed of 170 miles an hour with a 6-cylinder Liberty motor. The planes will be able to deliver mail from 24 to 36 hours after the ship leaves port. Mail will be carried in waterproof sacks and will be dropped on the deck of the boajt by aviators who have learned the grentle art of bomblngr. The Christmas "Bullet" is a biplane designed by Dr. W. W. Christmas. For some years, attempts have been made by experimenters to perfect an airplane with flexible wings, or in other words, closely following the flexibility of the wings of a bird. The biplane designed by Dr. Christmas has met with much success and his theories of flexing wings has been demonstrated to be practicable. The British and French governments have manifested considerable interest In this machine due probably to the re ports of its great speed. The biplane is entirely- free of struts, cables caid wires in the bracing of the wings and there is an absence of wiring in the internal structure of the wings. Puffs of wind or sudden changes of direction do not effect the progress of the machine, -tor the shock is partially aborted by the re siliency of the wings. - Announcement waa also made to day to the effect that at none of the Blue Ribbons AnsorUa , came 'will there be a preliminary eoateat. 'NEW 0E10GRAGY' AT THE SEMINARY Hartford, ilar. 3. "The Xew De mocracy" was the subject treated by Principal IS. Grir'feth-Jones in ih2 n f t h of ihe series of Carew lectures delivered at liaru'ord Theological seminary We tines iay afternoon at -1 o'clock. He dealt first with the k'U erai term ".Democracy, and then very clearly showed Knlanu'w posi tion as a present day democracy. As to democracy 'n general. he said that it is a government, a .-oci-i! order, that is being titken for granted as good, that it will be maintained by common consent, that it is op posed to lawlessness and is a foe to anarchy. lie enlarged npon Din coin's definition, saying, first, it is formed by the people as a whu:e. making common laws which all obey. Second, it is by the people. All are citizens. It was in 102 that Kn gland fi rst started franchise, then in cnlv a. limited way. but from then on she has been increasing the rights of Suffrage. j Mr. Griff eth-Jous pr'-'cd out that the government is for ine people. To this There are two sides. One is the conception that the government exi.-i? for a collection of individuals, giving personal rights and liberty to the in dividuals. This was the ideal of the Victorian era. The other conception is that the government exists for so ciety, for the general good of the people, but the rights of the individ uals are restricted. Which is the better of the two i. still a question. In the Victorian era it was a free man in a free slate, freedom and equality, but at. present the trend is toward the other em phasis, that of society. The modern assumption is that de mocracy is the ideal foriu of govern ment. Have we a right to assume that? And if so, why? At first sight when it is considered that the ave rage citizen knows nothing about lawmaking, and that public opinion is often a collection blind to the trutTT. it Koks unsound. In an aristocracy, those rule who are educated for the sole purpose of lawmaking. But the power of democracy is in good lead ership. He made four divisions of leaders P"irst, the crowd compeller, one who can impose his own will and domi nate the minds of his subjects, giving as examples, Xapoleou and Crom well. Second, is the crowd exponent, who reads the common mind, as Gladstone and Dloyd-George. He. said that Pi.oosevelt had a splendid com lunation of both these qualities. Third, the crowd representative, who expresses the clear purpose of his people, as Washington and Lincoln. Fourth, the crowd delegate, who, after the crowd has shaped its own policy, is sent to carry just what had been framed by hir people. Mr. GrifTeth -Jones pictured Britain today as representing the collective type of democracy. With the reform of 1832 came an advance in wealth, education, literature, and the press, and has contiwued until women have recently received franchise. The first result waa the rise of the middle class, and then soon came the cap- i italists. which meant business for ; business ends. The employer identl- fled his laborer with the machine which he controlled. This, of course. I led to labor unions, and in turn the j capitalists began to unite. The logi ; cal outcome of this was great trusts, i Of course the working man came to consider his employer as his ene my, shown by the fact that every possible kind of trade and Industry has its labor union, even those doing government work. Now there is a difference in aim cf the capitalist. The Victorian age aimed at giving a sufficient wage for a decent life, and this was the maximum aim. But modern democracy has revolted against this and all clas distinction ia tending to be wiped out. WALTERS TV. WI S DIVORCE. Harry B.

CANAL PLANNED TO LINTt CASPIAX AM) BLACK SEAS Washington, March 3 One of the greatest international development projects since the building of the Panama Canal, according to official advices from London yesterday, is a plan under consideration of London ard Xew York capitalists to link the Caspian and Black seas by a canal by uniting the Don and Volga rivers not far from their mouths. The. route has been surveyed and an estimate of tha capital required has been made. The distance between the rivers at the point surveyed is approximately 63 miles, and it has been determined j that the canal must have thir;een locks. The cost is estimated at :. p proximately $21,320,000 and it will require a ltitle more than three years to complete the work. The needs of the world for the coal and oil of the regions of Southern Russia are the main reasoi.s ad vanced for the need of this canal. IE tliJll SIMM Uil Bet Lydia E.
