Washington, Oct. 5.—With a special
appropriation from congress, the Unit-
ed States Bureau of Education has
just begun the work of investigation
and promotion of home and school gar-
dens. The new division will be under
direction of a specialist in school gar-
dening and an assistant, both of whom
are to be experts in this form of edu-
. cational activity. Miss Ethel Gowans,
a graduate of the New York Stat Col-
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y., is
temporarily in charge of the work.
By means of personal visitation, cor- •
respondence, and publications, it is the
plan of the bureau to cooperate with
school boards throughout the United

immediate return to his regiment.”
“Do you mean to tell me that you
know what our plans of operation
are?”
“I know enough of them, at least, to
make me particularly anxious to get
away. Now stop that, lieutenant—not
another move! Doubtless you know
what this derringer contains. I will
assuredly use it if necessary, and it
feels to me like a hair trigger. Put
out your hands—no, hold them close
together—so.”
The utter uselessness of resistance
was very plain, and I greatly disliked
gagging him; yet at any moment the
orderly might ride past.
I led the horse slowly forward and
must have advanced a hundred feet or
more, scarcely making a rustling in the
short grass under foot, when a horse
neighed shrilly to our right Instantly
a dim figure rose up.
“Who am dar?” It was the voice of
the negro, startled, trembling, yet loud
with alarm. “Massa George, Massa

Experiment to Determine Which Made
By Postal Authorities.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 5.—Whether the
postoffice department shall change its
long established custom of using jute
twine for cotton cord is to be be de-
termined by a committee of postal ex-
perts as the result of an inquiry into
the subject. In announcing this today,
Postmaster General Burleson expressed
belief that owing to the prevailing-
high price of jute and the demand for
this year’s cotton crop curtailed be-
case of the European war, every ef-
fort should be made by the govern-
ment to use cotton products whenever
price conditions permit.
Enormous quantities of jute twine
are used annually throughout the pos-
tal service. Over 1,700,000 pounds of it
• were used, mostly in the railway mail
service, during the last fiscal year, for
which the department spent about
$200,000.

A local story in the Houston papers
tells of a girl being arrested for theft
of clothing from a disorderly house
in which she was an inmate, and of
her prosecution in the police court by
the woman in charge of the house.
Since Houston publicly announced the
abolishment of its segregated district
several months ago, the news comes
as a sort of mild surprise. Reports
from Philadelphia, Chicago, and other
cities where the districts have been
abolished do not show that the social
evil has been greatly abated. Havelock
Ellis, the English sociologist, says
with reference to the social evil: “You
may rest assured that it will be a
very different form of society from the
present in which it will be eradicated.”
The same, it might be noted in pass-
ing, applies with equal force to that
incongruous horror, War.
; "This sudden arrangement leaves me
In rather a bad predicament,” he con-
fessed at last, pausing suddenly. “You
i know, of course, what you are here for
: tonight, Mordaunt, althought I have
. not explained all the details; it is to
: marry my only daughter, Jean, to
Lieutenant Calvert Dunn. The pres-
ent condition of the country, and the
danger involved in leaving a young girl
here alone and unprotected, has hur-
ried our arrangements and prevented
any formality. But Dunn has been
detailed on Johnston’s staff, and the
Lord only knows where he may be
now, if all you say is true. According
to our plans he ought to have been
here an hour ago, but no doubt he is
riding with orders and utterly unable
to send us any word to account for
the delay. And what, under these cir-
cumstances, can I or my son do? Any
minute an orderly may come dashing
down the west road. That will mean
we must depart at once and leave Jean
Denslow’ here alone, absolutely alone,
with only an old negro and his wife
on the place. Here alone, defenseless,
in the track of a beaten army! By
heaven, I would risk my commission
rather than desert her to such a fate.”
Then the softer voice of the chaplain
asked:
“But what particular difference at
this time would her marriage to Dunn
make?”
“He intended to take her immediate-
ly, as his wife, across the mountains
to Fairview. It is not very far away,
yet so situated as to be out of the
track of both armies, in an isolated
valley among the hills. His father
and sister are there. They would have
ridden the distance tonight, and by
tomorrow morning she would be in
perfect safety.”
“But why not have your son ride
with her to this haven of refuge?
Lieutenant Dunn’s people would re-
ceive and protect your daughter, even
if the mariage had not already taken
place.” ’
The younger man, seemingly little
, more than a stripling, was on his feet
now also.
“I could do it, father,” he exclaimed
eagerly. “Jean rides as well as any
man, and I could be back in Miners-
ville in forty-eight hours. Shall I go?”
“If necessary, yes, George; but we
will wait here until the last possible
moment in the hope that Dunn may
appear. My heart is set on the con-
summation of this marriage, chaplain;
it has been the cherished plan of our
families ever since the birth of Calvert
and Jean, not only because it will
unite us all more closely, who have
been neighbors more than a hundred
years, but because our plantations
touch each other and will form one
magnificent property after the war.
Jean, I regret to say, has been the one
obstacle in rhe way heretofore—she is
somewhat headstrong and filled with
girlish notions—but she has at last
consented to do as we wish, and I am
actually afraid to permit her any op-
portunity for reconsideration.”
I was a soldier, and had become pos-
sessed of an important military secret,
which every sense of my duty to my
cause compelled me to bear to Rose-
crans if possible. The slightest delay
might prove disastrous; yet how was
I to accomplish the -work in time to be
of value? I was well within the Con-
ffederate lines, on foot and a fugitive,
my ragged uniform sure' to betray me
to any challenging sentinel. I compre-
hended something now of the lay of
the land, the situation of the two ar-
mies and the direction of the contem-
plated movement. If I only possessed
a horse and a Confederate uniform I
might discover a passage and arrive
in time with my message of warning
to prevent a grave disaster. Those
horses tied to the fence corner! George
was there, and probably the negro Joe
as well, and they were so close to the
house the slightest sound of a strug-
gle would be heard instantly. That
would mean four against one, the four
armed. The orderly! Ay, there was a
King Charles of Rumania has prom-
ed the German emperor that the armed
forces of Rumania would take sides
with Germany in the event of war.
Germany is now battling for its very
life, and King Charles, quite naturally,
desires to keep his promise to his rel-
ative. The Rumanian people, however,
have no such desire, according to re-
ports from Bucharest. Their sympa-
thies and interest : lies just the other
way. King Charles may draw con-
solation from the fact that his king-
ship is not the only one which is go-
ing to suffer in prestige as a result
of the European war. "*

INTERESTING PLACES
IN THEATER OF WAR
Peace discussions at Mexico City,
Aguas Calientes and Zacatecas are off-
set by armed warfare in other parts
of the Mexican republic. Secretary
Brytan’s optimistic attitude concerning
pace in Mexico was undoubtedly based
largely upon assurances given by the
Mexican “patriots” to American of-
ficials and agents in Mexicofl Texans,
who know the history of their state,
can appreciate the value of sUch as-
surances. Secretary Bryan, being more
or less unfamiliar with Texas history,
cannot. Carranza has offered his res-
ignation, conditionally, and the resig-
nation has been rejected by the Car-
ranza military chieftains. Villa con-
tinues his efforts to secure support
from among Carranza’s followers and
is openly bidding for the former fed-
eral army officers. Zapata, in the
considerable progress in school gar-
dens, but practically no information on
the subject is available. The first task
of the division will be to supply this
information.
Eventually it is hoped that every
school will have a teacher employed
twelve months in the year who knows
gardening both theoretically and prac-
tically. During the school year this
teacher will give instruction in nature
study, elementary science and garden-
ing in the morning and in the after-
noon direct the gardens at the homes
of the children. During the summer
vacation the teacher will devote all
the time to directing the garden work.
The close supervision that such a
teacher will be able to give will insure
greater success for the gardens and
will familiarize the children with the
problems of plant production and util-
ization. By a cooperative method all
surplus vegetables and fruits will
either be marketed or canned and pre-
served for sale.
In announcing the new work, Dr.
Claxton declares:
“School gardening will develop hab-
its of industry; en appreciation of the
value of money as measured in terms
of labor; and a realization that every
man and woman must make his or her
own living, and contribute to the wel-
fare of the community.
“Experiments already have shown
that with proper direction an average
child can produce in an eighth of an
acre of land from $50 to $100 worth of
vegetables. This would add more to
the support of the family than could
be purchased with the same child’s
WHAT WILL IT BE?
Corpus Christi Caller.
Some certain way must be found to
reduce the cotton acreage next year.
Public sentiment will never prevail
against personal cunning. An educa-
tional campaign sounds prettywell—
on paper. But the truth of the whole
argument is contained in that frayed
maxim about the old dog and new
tricks. Some farmers, studying the
situation, will corset-up their desires
and reduce; others will feel that Tom
Johnson’s diminished acreage and Tim-
othy Hall’s will only make an extra
ten acres the more profitable. All said
and done, human nature is no founda-
tion to build on. It is too much like
dynamite, having the habit of going
off without warning.
The National Geographic society has
prepared the following facts concern-
ing places that are figuring promi-
nently in the news of the military op-
erations in the European war.
Agram (Zagrab)—The capital of
Croatia-Slavonia, Hungary, on the Riv-
er Save, 187 miles by rail south of Vien-
na. It had a population of 79,000 in
1910. Tobacco, linen, carpets, leather
and war material are manufactured in
Agram, and a brisk tade is carried on
in grain, linens, potash, honey, silk and
porcelain. The city is divided into three
sections, two of them, the Kapitel-Stadt
and the Upper Town, having been bitter
rivals for centuries, until the aggres-
sions of the Turks forced them to for-
get their feud and combine. for mutual
protection. Earthquakes did consider-
able damage to the town in 18808 and
1901.
Temesvar—A Hungarian city on the
River Bega, 188 miles southeast of
Budapest by rail, and 68 miles from
the Servian border, consisting of an in-
ner town, formerly strongly fortified,
and four suburbs. In 1910 it had 72,-
555 inhabitants. The most important
home garden
has already
Despite the efforts of both sides to
the European controversy of death
and destruction to involve Italy in the
return to barbarism now being en-
acted, both the people of that nation
and their ruler have thus far declined
to add to the saturnalia of bloodshed
now being-staged in Belgium, France
and Galicia. The announcement that
Italy did not see in this contest a
war of defense and by the terms of the
triple alliance could not be forced to
join with its two co-signers of that
document, came as a surprise to both
belligerents and it was first feared
that it was some masterly piece of war
strategy on the part of the alliance to
be developed later in the game, but as
the days have gone by and Italy still
remains neutral, the belief is becoming
strengthened that Italy, of all the
greater nations of Europe, is showing
evidences of sanity and a regard for
her people so strangely wanting in the
countries now engaged in a life and
death struggle.
it is not so much that Italy was not
and is not prepared to contribute an
adequate amount of destruction to the
sum total, but Victor Emanuel and his
official family refused to see that this
was sufficient compensation for the
loss of thousands of lives and the peo-
ple,—those who give such matters
earnest thought,—endorsed the course
taken by their monarch. It calls for
a high order of statecraft to keep from
being swept away by such a floodtide
of military activity as marked the
month of August, but .the government
of Italy possessed just this brand of
statesmanship and is in position to ob-
tain from the wreckage of nations
more than she could ever hope to se-
cure by force of arms.
It is not so difficult for a country
situated as is the United States, re-
mote from the theater of war, to de-
clare and maintain neutrality, but
when one lives next door to the scene
of hostilities, the matter becomes one
of extreme delicacy, especially where
' certain articles of co-partnership have
-been signed and sealed; to steer among
these diplomatic rocks calls for a
strong hand and a clear brain. Both
of which Italy appears to possess.
Let us not endeavor to discount the
farsightedness of the Italian king and
his people by intimating that the war
chest of the nation was empty and its
resources limited. Notone of the coun-
tries now involved was financially
equipped for the drain imposed by this
war and Italy was in no worse condi-
tion financially than the best of them,
nor was it fear of the outcome that
acted the restraining hand, for Italy on
one side or the other would have
been suing for peace. Let the world
give praise to Italy for her self-re-
straint and splendid judgment when all
the balance of the nations appear to
have lost sight of everything but a de-
sire to kill and to destroy.
Italy has not in the past posed as a
world peace influence; her inclinations
have rather been toward the martial
method of settling national differ-
ences, but while Italy is still a mon-
archy, it is very near being a republic
in actual operation and the people, not
the king, will decide whether it is to
be peace or war. And as it will be the
people who will be called upon to
march to the firing line to become tar- <
center of commerce and industry of
South Hungary, the city trades in
grain, flour, spirits and horses, and
manufacturers tobacco, cloth, matches,
leather, beer and spirits. In 1514 the
peasant leader, Stephan Dozsa, was de-
feated by the Transylvanian, John
Zapolya, near here, captured and exe-
t cuted. The town was captured after a
. heroic struggle by thme Turks in 1553,
, and remained in their hands until 1716,
when it was liberated by Prince
Eugene of Savoy. It successfully re-
sisted the attacks of a Hungarian revo-
. lutionary army in 1849.
Wieliczka—A town of Galicia, Aus-
tria, eight and a a half miles south-
east of Cracow and ten miles from the
Russian Poland border, with a popula-
tion of about 10,000. It is famous for
its saltmines, which employ from 1500
to 2000 people. The mines descend for
a depth exceeding 1000 feet, are about
three miles in length and 1500 yards
wide. The different levels are connect-
ed by flights of steps and are pierced
by a labyrinth of passages, the aggre-
gate length of which is about 100 miles.
The mines contain two ponds which a
have boats upon them. Many of the
disused chambers, some of which are
from 100 to 120 feet in height, are em-
ployed as magazines, and some of them
are embellished with candelabra, etc.,
hewn in rock salt. There are also sev-
eral chapels with altars, statues and
other ornaments in rock salt.
Kosciuszko Hill—A mound of earth,
65 feet in height, two and a half miles
to the west of the center of old Cra-
cow. It was thrown up in 1820-23 by
the united efforts of the whole popu-
lation of Cracow in honor of the Polish
hero of that name. Since 1855, it has
been converted into a fort from the
many towers of which a fine view of
Cracow, the Vistula River , and the
many neighboring peaks of the Bes-
kid mountain range may be had.
Gorazda1—A village in Bosnia, Aus-
tria, on both banks of the Drina, not
far from the Montenegrin border. The
town has about 2500 inhabitants, most
of whom are interested in fruit culture.
A school teaching the science of or-
chard cultivation is located here. The
valley is dotted with numerous tobac-
co plantations.
Bielsk—A town of Russia, 90 miles
north of east of Warsaw, and 64 miles
from East Prussia, on the Belianka
river. In the 10th century it was
razed to the ground. Later it was
frequently attacked by the Tartars and
the Teutonic Knights. The wars of
Poland with Russia and Sweden caused
the town to decline in the 17th century,
and in 1664 it was burnt and sacked. '
The northern war and the plague of
1710 finally devastated the “Bielsk
Country.” Under the second partition
of Poland the town was acquired by
Prussia, but was allotted to Russia in
1807. On Castle Hill are the ruins of a
castle, destroyed by lightning in 1563,
in which the kings of Poland staid
when hunting the wild ox, supposed to
be the original stock of our domestic
cattle. Many wild boars are sold at
the eight fairs held there annually.
Augustov—A town of Russian Po-
land, ten miles from the border of East
Prussia and twenty miles south of Su-
walki, with a population of about 13,-
000. It is on the Netta river, which,
connected with the Niemen by a canal,
affords water communication with the
Baltic. The town was founded in 1547.
It is famous for its cattle and horse
its horses, mostly of the Lithuanian
fairs, its horses, mostly of the Lituan-
ian breed, possessing great endurance.
Belostok—A Russian town, 110 miles
by rail northwest of Warsaw and 42-
miles from the East Prussian frontier,
with a population of about 65,000. Orig-
inally part of the kingdom of Poland,
it was transferred to Prussia at the
partition of 1795. Napoleon ceded it
to Russia by the Treaty of Tilsit in
1807. The city has numerous large
cloth mills. It boasts of its mag-
nificent chateau, in Italian style, and
once known as the Versailles of Po-
land, which formerly belonged to John
II (Casimir).
Radom—One of the best built pro-
vincial towns of Russian Poland, 55
miles south of Warsaw, at a point half
way between that city and the Aus-
trian frontier. Its population is about
32,000, and it has iron and agricultural
machine works and tanneries. It oc-
cupied the site of what is now Old
Radom in 1216, New Radom being
founded in 1340 by Casimir the Great,
king of Poland. Here Jadwiga was
elected queen of Poland in 1382. Sev-
eral great fires, and especially the
Swedish war of 1701-7, were the ruin
of the old city. It was annexed to
Russia in 1815.

cations, begun in 1843, were not com-
pleted until 1905. They consist of an
inner wall brought into connection
with outlying fortifications and twelve
detached forts. The protected position
of the harbor makes Konigsberg one
of the important commercial cities of
Germany. The industries consist of
large printing works, locomotive
works, machine shops, toy, sugar, cel-
lulose, tobacco and cigar factories’, and
chemical works. Konigsberg was oc-
cupied by the French in 1807. In 1813
the plan for resisting Napoleon’s ad-
vance in Prussia was laid out there.
During recent years it has been con-
nected with the Russian railway sys-
tem through East Prussia.

rocky bank and descended into the
narrow valley of the creek. This ap-
peared to me a spot well fitted for an
ambuscade, and I came to a halt, lean-
ing against a stunted tree, listening
anxiously. Overhead not so much as
a single star was visible, and as I
glanced uneasily behind no gleam of
light shone forth from any window of
the great house. I was upon the very
edge of the battlefield, well within the
Confederate lines.
I must nave distinguished the ap-
proach of that orderly’s horse’s hoofs
> fully a mile away, first the faint ring
of steel on an exposed stone and then
a little later the dull thud of a steady
canter. I must act quickly, merciless-
ly, or there would certainly be firing,
the spread of alarm.
What followed was strain, confu-
sion, struggle. I had him by the jack-
et collar, dragging him to earth, and
we went down together, clinching des-
perately. His revolvers were in the
saddle holsters, and we fought it out
with bare hands. I recall blows
struck, the fierce wrestling, a smoth-
ered oath, a grappling at the throat,
the rolling over and over, our limbs
twisted together, and then my throt-
tling him until he lay prone and help-
less. There was a derringer in his in-
ner jacket pocket. Wrenching it
forth, I pressed the round muzzle
against his forehead.
Using little enough ceremony, I strip-
ped him of jacket and trousers, fling-
ing down in return beside his prostrate
body my own fragments of uniform.
As I hastily donned the garments thus
feloniously appropriated, my fingers
chanced to touch the braided insignia
of rank on the jacket collar.
“Who are you. an orderly?”
[ “No, a lieutenant of cavalry.”
A flash of light came to me; I had
waylaid the speeding bridegroom.
“Oh, indeed,” I said, the surprise of
discovery rendering me careless.
“Then I suppose you must be Calvert
Dunn?”
“I am.”
“Of Johnston’s staff, I believe, but
what regiment?”
“The Tenth Georgia. But who are
you? What do you mean by this at-
tack? How do you happen to know
my name?”
I took ample time to consider my an-
swer, buttoning the tight fitting jacket
to the throat; then said coldly:
“I hardly suppose it will do any harm
for you to know, as I propose tying
you up safely and leaving you here out
of sight and sound. Have your pickets
been withdrawn from the road leading
east?”
He remained silent until I pressed the
lips of the derringer against his cheek.
“Yes, blame you; I wouldn’t tell, but

even talk of using cotton bagging to
wrap the cotton bales instead of the
usual jute bagging. If successful,
many thousand bales of cotton would
be thus absorbed. American cotton
reaches European and New England
markets in notoriously bad order, and
efforts have been made on various oc-
casions to secure an improvement in
the American system of wrapping. No
permanent results have ever been se-
cured, despite the financial returns
to the producer in increased values.

Tomorrow there may come a change

and Italy may be called upon to con-
tribute her quota of life to continue
the tragedy, but even should this come
to pass, and it does not appear prob-
able that it will, Italy has, by her
conduct thus far, indicated that no na-
