Stewart, Carpenter, Wanted on ~ Charge of Obtaining Money by ( False pretences. W. H. Stewart, a boatbullder and carpenter, 1b badly wanted by the city police, who hold a warrant for his arrest for obtaining about $80.00 by false pretences from the Hudson Bay stores on Saturday Inight, by means of a forged check. Stewart went to Rossland on Sunday, but left for the south on Monday 'before (the police were notified of the offence. Efforts are being made to locate him. That Stewart was able to pass tbe check was , due to a combination of circumstances peculiarly favorable to the alleged bunco man. He is said to have gone into the Hudson Bay store and purchased a pair of boots. In payment he presented a check for 186.75 to the clerk, who happened to be a man who had roomed at the same hotel with him for some time and, consequently, knew him well and was also aware of the fact that Stewart had been employed by Mr. Henry. The check was, therefore, taken without a very close examination, and aB tbe banks were not open until Monday, and some time was occupied in investigations before the police were called in, Stewart was given a long start. With him on his trip to Rossland, Stewart took a camera, which he borrowed from an acquaintance at the hotel and also a grip, the property of the same man. The proprietor of the Queen's hotel 4s alsjb interested in the case as he states that Stewart "jumped" a ?60.00 board bill. Stewart is about 30 years of age; about^S feet, 8 IncheB In height; clean shaven, of a Bllm build; has very light hair; light eyes which are unusually deep sunken and a chin that is noticeably pointed. Through some ailment to bis feet he walks in a peculair manner. When last seen he wore a grey suit and a black hat, which may have been changed for a panama with a blue band. On his coat he wore a lodge badge. •* The grip taken was a square brown traveller's sample case, and on one end had a round red label with the name "Queen's Hotel, Halifax" on it, and a blue label on which was a picture showing a man on a scale. The camera was a No. 4 Eastman, screen focus,..with an automatic shutter and is worth about ?45. House Resumes Consideration of Reciprocity Pact CABLE RATES SOON TO BE REDUCED FAREWELL LUNCHEON LONDON, July 18.—At a farewell luncheon given yesterday to the representatives of the overseas dominions by the parliamentary committee of the British house of commons a message was received from the king conveying the hope that they had enjoyed their visit to the mother country. His majesty also, expressed his pleasure at having seen them ln Buckingham palace and added his wishes for a safe and pleasant Journey home. DENIES CHARGE OF RED TAPE Militia Department's Aotlon In Supplying Tents for Victims of Porcupine Bush Fires WINNIPEG, July 18—An indignant denial of allegations of "red tapelsm" In the Issue of relief tents by the militia department to the Porcupine sufferers was made today by Col. Fiset, deputy minister of militia, A report declared that tents were not shipped until four days later than they should have been and that applicants were asked to put up a bond of ¥17,000 as security that the department would get their tents back. The whole thing Is most unfair, stated Col. Flset We had word from the Toronto board of trade on Wednesday asking for 600 tents and a supply of bedding, etc. We have no authority ourselves to respond to It. However, It is one of the fixed regulations of the department that no such free issue Is to be made without an order In council and this regulation Is very well known. Applicants may not wish to put up a bond of $17,000 as security for tents, consequently what authority haB the militia department to act In the matter? The applicants then asked the premier for a free issue of tents at 11 o'clock on Friday. I was given cabinet authority to act at 12 o'clock. A telegram was sent to Toronto telling them to get tents and bedding ready for transportation and at 11 o'clock the same night they were told to get them ont. That does not look much like red tape; we acted promptly as soon as we were given authority to do so. Two More Dead TORONTO, July 18—The following dispatch has been received from the Porcupine relief committee: "We regret to advise that the bodies of Marshall Morrison, hockey player, Halleybury, and Fred Herbert, England •have been located by our search party. Another party has no bad news to report. Twenty townBhips and unsur- veyed districts west are being reported on steadily by the parties returning. The death list to date Is 44 and the bodies found may reach 75 and it may be that 80 more will not be found ln the lakes and woods for a number of days or perhaps longer." Division on Question of Recognition of Fenian Raid Veterans OTTAWA, Ont., July 18.—At 9 o'clock in the forenoon, after several other matters had been discussed, on Mr. Fielding's motion to go in to committee of ways and means to consider tbe reciprocity resolutions, tbe motion was adopted and Mr. Arthurs, Conservative member for Parry Sound, resumed talk In opposition to the pact. He spoke until 10.40, going over most of the arguments which baa been advanced against the agreement' before recess was taken In May. When he sat down no one rose to reply on the government side of the house and there were cries from the Liberal bench of "go on." J. D. Taylor, for New Westminister, rose ln his place and said that he has been travelling for six days and had arrived in Ottawa at 5 o'clock a.m„ and was very tired. Under the circumstances he would move the adjournment of the debate. Sir Wilfrid would not agree, he Bald he was sorry not to be able to do so, but the house had not transacted any business for some time and that members now ought to be ready to proceed. Mr. Taylor had no choice but to go on with his arguments, and he described the act as one which would he detrimental to the best interests of the Dominion. Sir Wilfrid's refusal to consent to an early adjournment and the..action of the opposition in not allowing the government to take up reciprocity at 3 o'clock indicated the determination of the government to press the opposition to fight the pact. The first opposition amendment was moved by Mr. Middlebro, and it called upon the government to'give recognition to the demands of tbe Fenian raid veterans for their services. The discussion lasted till 6 o'clock, when a division revealed the presence of a larger proportion of Conservative than Liberal votes, standing at Gl to 45, a government majority of 16. W. F. McLean Introduced a discussion on telegraph and cable rates and was informed by Mr. Lemieux that he believed the time was now at hand when cable rates would be materially reduced. Dr. Sproule, parliamentary veteran of the front row of the opposition, was the first member of the house to catch the eye of the speaker when the business of tbe session was resumed at 3 o'clock. He desired to voice a complaint aB ito the ventilation of the chamber and made an appeal to Hon. William Pugsley, minister of public works, to see that something was done to that end, R. L. Borden made an Inquiry in reference to the progress which has been made with the census returns. He asked when the work would be completed and when the result would be known. Mr. Fisher said that he would not like to say off-hand when lt would be possible to give Mr. Borden tbe Information asked for. Sir Wilfrid Laurier informed Dr. Sproule that a treaty covering the question of pelagic sealing had been signed at Washington and it would be laid before parliament at an early date. J. D. Taylor, New Westminster, waB told by Sir Allan Aylesworth that the report of the commissioner who inquired into the Chinese immigration frauds had been received by the government, but that ln the absence of Sir Richard Cartwright, minister of trade and commerce,.he would not say when it would be dealt with. In reply to Houghton Lennox Mr. Fisher stated that he was, desirous of delaying the final consideration of the copyright bill until he had learned the outcome of the debate on the bill before the Imperial house. He waB anxious to nave the Canadian bill conform to British legislation. Reciprocity Mr. Fielding then put the ways and means motion, which meant the resumption of the reciprocity debate. An opposition amendment was at once forthcoming. W. S. Middleboro, North Orey brought up the question of the claims of the veterans of 1866-70, repeating the resolution moved by F. D. Monk In 1906, that these claims be recognised. Mr. Middleboro after reviewing the action of tbe Mackenzie government and citing numerous delegations of veterans, quoted statements of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Frederick Borden in 1906 from which he said the veterans had a right to expect some substantial recognition. Sir Wilfrid Laurier regretted that Mr. WILL COIN SILVER DOLLARS AT OTTAWA ROSSLAND, July 18—A. B. MacKenzle, secretary of the associated Boards of Trade of eastern British Columbia, is In receipt of the following letter from the assistant de/puty minister of finance at Ottawa, with respect to the coinage of silver dollars. When the currency act, i910, waB under discussion;, the minister intimated In parliament that it was expected silver dollars would be coined for the purpose of supplying the demand for coin existing in your province. Short ly after the act was passed, and before the designs for tbe coins under the act were approved, the late king's ideath took Ipiace. The designs bearing, the effigy of the reigning king have not yet been formally approved. The effigy of the king which will appear on the coins, must bave the approval of his majesty .and this haB taken time to obtain. It is anticipated that in the near future the government will be in a position to strike coins under the new act at the Ottawa mint. AT S Deputy Minister Scott Through Nelson Middleboro had not waited for the minister of militia who had the matter udder consideration. The question, Sir Wilfrid said, was 40 or 45 years old. The Macdonald government bad dealt with it and the claims at that time bad not been entertained. Sir Wilfrid asked why different action should be expected of the present government. On being reminded of the grants to South African veterans, he pointed out that there had been a good deal of opposition to those grants on the ground that they had benefitted neither the country nor the veterans. He .said, that for his part he did not feel disposed to treat applications of veterans on a universal basis. There were degrees of merit He said that his* own regl- ment had not been In action but that he had been given a medal, which he had not deserved. Finally be. reminded the hoUBe that pensions had been given to those disabled in battle. Various opposition members kept up the debate, Dr. Sproule urging that the veterans ought to he given a definite statement and Samuel Barber of Hamilton characterized the premier's..statement as cold blooded- Ot'. -Reid, Gren- ville, B. A. Lancaster Houghton Lennox, S. Sharpe and others continued the debate. R. L. Borden contended that if there was any good reason for different treatment accorded the veterans they were entitled to know the reason of the difference. They have at least the right not to be humbugged. •At 5:50 a vote was taken and the division stood 61 to 45 against the opposition amendment, a government majority of 16.. Bush Fires At the evening sitting W. S. Smith, Conservative member for East Algoma, drew the attention of tne government to the disaster which has overtaken northern Ontario In the shape of forest fires. Private Individuals and municipalities as well as the Ontario government had contributed to the relief of the suffering public, but he said he had not yet seen in the public press that the federal government was considering a measure of relief and he could assure the ministers that anything, which they might decide to do in the way of granting assistance would meet with the approval of the Canadian people. He believed that the government would be fully justified in contributing liberally to the relief of the sufferers. Mr. Fielding said that the government regrets the conditions existing ln northern Ontario and the people have the warmest sympathy of the ministers and government and everything possible was being done by the government and also by a committee of Ottawa gentlemen, but they were unable to furnish the government with exact Information as to the amount of losses sustained. It had Ibeen represented to the government that for the present at least sufferers were being attended to. As Information so far received Is of a general and indefinite character the government proposed to await detailed and accurate information before deciding what, if any, relief should be given. In conclusion Mr. Fielding said that the government had sent tents and blankets to those rendered homeless by the fire and that this of itself constituted a considerable measure of relief. Telegraph Rates W. F. MceLan, then introduced a (Continued on Page Four.)

BIG ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES Moving Pictures Good Method of Advertising in Old Country, He Says That arrangements have been made whereby fruit will be forwarded daily to the various exhibitions ln tbe big prairie cities from this portion of Kootenay was the statement made at the Strathcona last night by W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture who was on his way to Cranbrook and tbe Windermere district where he will attend a number of Farmers' institute meetings. Mr. Scott stated that the provincial government, owing to the fact that British Columbia was prohibited from exhibiting at the more important of the English exhibitions until 1914, because this province had gained so many prizes for the past six years, was devoting moat of its attention this year to exhibits in the prairies and in the east At the various' fairs at which British Columbia exhibits are to be shown, Mr. Scott stated, the Nelson district would be well represented by showings of fruit of various kinds. Farmers' Institutes Concerning the Fanners' Institute movement, which is such a feature of the provincial government's efforts to Improve the status of agriculture in British Columbia, the deputy minister stated that already a large number of new branches of the institute had been added this year. He said that the series of lectures which had been already given and of which others were scheduled had proved a great success. "The attendance has been better than ever this year," he remarked "and indicates that the lecturers are dealing with subjects which interest the agricultural community and which are also of value In placing before tbe farmer free of cost the best principles of modern agriculture." This year over 200 lectures will be given before the various Farmers* institutes and It Is estimated that the number of persons attending will be over 12,000. "In the old country ln my opinion the best form of advertising this province can carry out at present Is the showing of moving pictures, explained by competent lecturers. Already something has been done In this respect and before long I hope that this department will be in a position to commence an extensive campaign in Great Britain on these lines." HOURS ARE SET FOR SPRINKLING Low Water tn Reservoir Makes Special Regulations Necessary—When Sprinklers May Be Used Finding that tho condition of tho water in the reservoir made it absolutely necessary that the consumption for sprinkling gardens, streetB and slnillnr purposes should be reduced at once, the mayor and the city engineer, in accordance with the powers conferred on them at Monday's meeting of the city council, Inst night decided to bring into effect today regulations setting aside certain hours for the ubb of water for such purposes.

OHIO EDITORS ARE ANXIOUS TO COME Possibility That Something May be Done If Boards of Trade Act in Concert "It will interest the public of the Kootenay to know that the Ohio editors who were invited, through the efforts of the publicity bureau, to extend their tour of the prairies into the mountains, are extremely anxious to make their trip on the lines we suggested," stated H. H. Currie, publicity secretary, last night. "I have just taken from the mail a letter from Carl A. Jettlnger, president of the Buckeye Press association," continued Mr. Currie, "and he and his fellow officials strongly favor an extension of the trip into our portion of the country. Mr. Jettlnger states, however, that they are in the bands of the Canadian Immigration department, with whom be suggests we use al] our influence. Although their itinerary as outlined by the department Involves the 200 editors being away from home for practically three weeks, the officials of the association are frankly willing to spend still more time if by that means eastern BritiBh Columbia is included in their Itinerary. "It was on July 6 that I took the matter up, and altogether sent three wires and one letter to the association. The lapse of time was undoubtedly caused through there being two associations, the communications being first referred to the organization known as the Associated Ohio Dailies. The Buckeye Press association is a consolidation of four state associations, with a membership of about 1,500 newspapers and periodicals. "At the Canadian end, the publicity bureau has been in communication for some time with J. Bruce Walker, commissioner ot Immigration at Winnipeg, who has charge of the tour. Mr. Walker wired on Saturday that the editors would only be in Canada for 12 days and that they could not visit the Kootenays. I wrote in return, suggesting that a representative party of about 20 be permitted to make a side trip to the Kootenay or over the province at large during the second week of their tour, and pointed out that while we did not object to tbe wheat occupying the center of the board—seeing that the immigration department had worked up the matter—it was very desirable that the resources and attractions of the mountains occupy at least some of the background in tbe picture of western Canada which the party as a whole would take away. There has not yet been time for an answer to this letter. "I am not aware that more than one board of trade has acted on the circular letter we sent out, suggesting united action towards securing a vlait from the editors or from a party of them. That board is the Inland board of trade which wired from Kamloons a strong endorsement of our invitation, and pressed the editors not to overlook that district in their tour. "If the boards that have not yet acted would wire endoreatlons to President Jettlnger, at Delphos, Ohio, and would also bring pressure to bear on Commissioner Walker at Winnipeg, and on the department of immigration at Ottawn, it should be possible, T believe to secure some recognition of the Kootenay, nnd perhaps of the whole province, In the arrangements."

Again, it is proven to be of great advantage that fires for clearing bo lighted at night Instead of during the day, the atmosphere being heavier during the hours of night, the forestatlon and .vegetation generally being dumper, sparks carrying with less facility, and it being considerably easier to locate communicated fire. Constant watchfulness is, of course, too a most Important factor of Bafety; and when the refuse desired to be consumed has been thus disposed of, the settler should look well to the embers, lest these, ■ letr smouldering, should he home away by the wind to prove the initiation of a disastrous fire.

JULY 1* %t)rmiXv Se\D0, Published at Nelson Every Morning Except 8unday, by The News Publishing Company, Limited W. Q. FOSTER Manager WEDNESDAY, JULY 19 DR. ARTHUR MAKES PROPOSITION. Dr. Arthur has taken up the suggestion of The Daily News that both he and Dr. Jones should resign their positions as members of the board of school trustees and shouhi both seek re-election, but there are strings to his acceptance of the proposal made. In the first place he desires that the acceptance of his resignation should be postponed until three days after the courts have decided the issue between the city council and the school board over the question of finances. In the next place he makes stipulations as to the manner in which the election shall be held. Instead of fighting the matter out by he and Dr. Jones running either for the balance of his own term which expires in January next or for the balance of Dr. Jones' term, which expires a year later, Dr. Arthur appears to suggest that he and Dr. Jones and a third candidate, to be selected by the other three trustees, should contest presumably the two seats, the effect of which might be that he and Dr. Jones would both be re-elected and matters would remain exactly as they are at the present time. In the first place It may be asked what object can there be in delaying this election, lf one is to be held, until after the decision of the courts In the dispute between the city council and the school board. This decision will not be given for months at least. The i> J lUnard's Liniment Co., United.

In the meantime the situation so far as the school board was concerned would remain as it Is at present. The only excuse there is for a school board election at the present time ts to give the public an opportunity to pronounce upon the differences between Dr. Arthur and Dr. Jones as members of the board and on the attitude of each toward the other, but particularly that of the former, as a paid servant ot the board, toward a member duly elected by the people of Nelson as one ot their representatives on the board. Further than this it may be aske:l why the other three members of the board should be given the right to select the third candidate. In the first place any such arrangement would be out of the question for any person would have the right to contest the seat. The suggestion, however, has the earmarks of an attempt to load the dice against Dr. Jones in case of her election, for it would mean that in spite of public pronouncement in her favor, she would find herself with four col- leagues all more or less opposed to her presence on the board and disinclined to work with her as a fellow member. Altogether Dr. Arthur's proposal is to say the least a most extraordinary one, so much so indeed that it is hard to imagine anyone entertaining any idea of its acceptance. O. P. R. ANNOUNCEMENT According to an announcement made by Mr. W. B. Lanlgan of the Canadian Pacific railway yesterday that company intends to proceed at once with the construction of a apur from Three Forks to Bear Lake. This, it 1b to be hoped, is but preliminary to the extension of this line.through to Kajjlo, which would be, by afl means the beat solution ot thetranepbrta'tlou problems of the eastern portion of tbe Sloian and ot Kaslo district But whether the decision of the Canadian Pacific railway' in tils mafeer" Includes such an extension or not it'ie sincerely to,.b«.hoped that,* situation, will not arise ln which, the Kaslo and Slocan railway will be left in the hands of the local syndicate which recently purchased lt to be operated at a kiss because ofcaay action of tbe Canadian .Paeltloi railway m invading any teftl- torjr .which improperly tributary to tie- Kaslo & Slocan railway. Any BUch situation would react, against .the interests of the country' as a whole, while the opening of a through ljne from Three Forks to Kaslo would be distinctly In the Interests ot all concerned. It is for this reason that The Daily News expresses the hope that some satisfactory arrangement may be arrived at in regard to this matter. COMMUNICATIONS FORESTS AND WATER. To the Editor of the Daily News. Sir,—In a press dispatch from Madison, Wis., contained In your issue of the 15th inst., it is stated that a Professor .Mead, attached to the University of Wisconsin, haB made Investigations which prove that "neither deforestation nor reforestation. has any practical effect on high or low water levels In streams or on the regularity of the flow." It would appear to be necessary to emphasize the fact that investigations made ln Wisconsin, where climate and. topography are very different to what we have in the Kootenays, can have bat little value for us. Professor Mead may or may not be an eminent scientist and his conclusions may or may not be right as regards Wisconsin, but lt is very certain that sb regards the Kootenays, the Rocky ntcuntaln states to the south, the mountainous portions of middle and southern Europe and many other parts of the world, the above conclusions are entirely wrong. Bradley, speaking of the matter, admits of no debatevEmin ent men on this continent hold not only a contrary opinion to Professor Mead but have given us facts proving that within the fast 30 or 40 years the flow of certain rivers and streams, has been adversely affected by deforestation. Further, the investigations of 'an obscure American professtfr.; eailnot disprove what history and-scientific records tell us of past and present timber and stream1 'flow conditions in NEEDED WHERE PilN EXISTS.'

I NO ALUM 1 ■ AGIC BAKING POWDER Mking mm J^jTtlSlM^S MADE IN CANADA 1 France, Spain, Switzerland (where climate and topography are so Blmilar to our own), and other European countries. In a damp climate, such as the Pacific coast, lumbering and even fire in the mountains may not seriously affect stream flow, because there a second growth quickly follows deforestation, but In the comparatively hot and dry climate of the . Kootenays natural re- seeding Is often delayed for many years, and on steep slopes with shallow Boil may remain entirely absent. The soil, no longer held in place by the rootB of living vegetation, is soon washed off by melting snows and heavy rains which leave behind an exposure of large rocks. Such changes have been noted by most old-timers In the Kootenays, and there the snow melts early In spring, reaching the valley In an unwelcome overflow; while the rainfall, instead of being stored up for a steady summer supply, rushes down rocky channels, reaching the main rivers within not many hours. It Is quite true that diversity of opinion exists as to whether rainfall Is greatly increased by reason of a country being well timbered, but authorities are absolutely unanimous In stating that to make that rainfall useful for farming and Industrial purposes rivers and streams must at their heads be well timbered. Nor are science and practice at variance here, for every, farmer,, lumberman and prospector In the Kootenays knows that the streams surrounded, by and emerging from the green timber are the only.ones that can be depended on for a steady flow. • Possibly ppefesspr.Mead $14VhoV.ln-i tend that the result of his investigations should- be held as applying to. conditions other- than.,those, in Wisconsin, but at any rate the press dispatch' did not make this at all clear, and it would be a serious .matter If the entirely wrong impression got abroad that fire and reckless lumbering could not and would not harmfully affect the" flow or6ttrrivew;«^tti«aiJw; *' *c"■'■" '"■' •*.; ;.*" ■£;£ i? vVA ,a,-6. i*an ,, pure tea Is ever -packed under that ...: . name.-. .•; vmi '■■■•■ $1, 70c, 60c, 50c, 40c per pound I have-the Nelaon selling rights for the unique park and boulerard>;, eub-dlrislotflsld out by Mr. I\ L.Bammond (formerly of Nelson) now attracting wide .attention as • »"«"" ■• ■"••—~—-~" • -«■.

They had assisted In arranging a basis of agreement with companies whereby urgent messages would still he paid for at tbe old rate of 26 cents, semi-urgent at 12 cents and press messages 6 cents. Before the parliamentary recess Mr. Samuel wrote him to the effect that all the European countries Interested with the exception of France had agreed to the arrangement and he expected an announcement shortly to the effect that the new rates would go into tone. Mr. Lemieux expressed the view that a Btate owned cable between the mother country and the colonies Is a necessity. It would materially assist in forming bonds of union and would oontrlbote towards making Great Britain the serve centre ot the empire.

Maroons Took Game From Cranbrook for Flrat Time In Two Years Yea- — terday—Wild Excitement In ■ a game interesting throughout and wildly exciting at the finish the Maroons nosed out the Cranbrook boys ln Grey, by the narrow margin of one run yesterday. Errors were few and the fielding snappy. The Cranbrook boys, after their victory Monday were confident, but the perseverance of the locals enabled them to get an even break out of the two games.

Bishop assisting, Morgan singled and Potter pop&ed a fly to Chapman.' For Nelson H. Bishop fanned, Moore singled but was caught at third, Sturgeon singled, L. Phillips repeated, scoring Sturgeon. Booth was out at first, giving Nelson first blood. Second Inning — Cranbrook — Sullivan fanned. Burr filed to A. Bishop and Mc- Wha failed to beat it to first. For Nelson A. Bishop fanned, Matheson was out at first. Houston and Chapman walked, but had to run and score when Harry Bishop and Moore came through with a brace of three-baggers. Moore had followed Bishop across the pan before Sturgeon was out at first. Third inning—Cranbrook—Peterson was out at first, Gelvin smote the empty air and Adamson failed to make good his bunt. L. Phillips for Nelson passed one to the centre fielder, Booth fanned, A. Bishop and Matheson got singles, but Houston fanned. Fourth Inning—Cranbrook — Lundberg was out at first, Morgan was safe and Potter and Sullivan were out on files. For Nelson Chapman filed to Gelvin, H. Bishop was out at first and Moore filed to Lundberg. Fifth inning—Cranbrook—Burr fanned, MoWoa got a single but was out with Peterson on a double, Moore Bishop and Houston.

Dewing haB written one of the finest studies of certain phases of what may be described as the modern American feminine temperament which has been publisher! since her "Other People'B Hose Carson, the central figure in the novel, is a dancer of worldwide fame and impeccable reputation and she tells the story herself. "It isn't an autobiography which I'm going to write. It will be that only by the way; autobiography Is the history of ones own life, and I find life more general than that—we've all taken our plunge into the maelstrom. I have, I think, a peculiarly sharp sense of life; I see it vivid, irridoscent, lacking in the usual saving haze of atmosphere." she says in the opening chapter of the book, which. Is both an introduction to the story and an apologia, which to some extent disarms criticism for such (shortcomings as might be imputed to the author. Even In her early girlhood Rose had the theatrical Instinct When she obtained her fathers' consent to study stage dancing with the definite purpose of ultimately going upon the stage and was in consequence obliged to leave the fashionable boarding school where she had been in attendance, she did not slip out from the ranks of her schoolmates quietly, attracting as little attention as possible,but boldly declared that she was leaving because she was going to be a dancer, and invited her envious friends to attend a private rehearsal that afternoon. All through her life this same characteristic Is exhibited. Heredltory Influences. Rose Carson could hardly have grown up to be of an ordinary type. Her parents—her mother who was divorced when Rose was 13 years of age—her father with the Jovian stature and ambrosial beard, who engineered great rail- roads and was called "Billy" by friends in restaurants—must have Influenced her more than she, who did not believe in heredity, believed. Of her mother she writes: "A sort of wlldness she had—a gleam and a glimmer—which was yet a wlldness of cities and a gleam of lights. With the persuasive oriental scent she used, the Jangling of trinkets at her belt, the flashing laugh that showed her teeth, she had the effect of touching all the senses at once. Her presence was confusing, and as much an emblem of hazard as the piratical Black Jack ana scarlet knotted kerchief." Her mother had In her blood some tinge that must have come down from some remote erring ancestress, which had awakened and was spreading lute some thin fire. In imagination, at least," declares Rose Carson, "we most of us have it; it is the sordidneBB of reality that saves ub. The thing I mean is the thing ln us opposed to certainty." She did not love her mother, and did not feel her loss when the New York Judge awarded her father a decree. "She A Fire-pot That Won't Crack THE greatest strain falls midway between the top and bottom of a one- piece fire-pot, because the live coals are located at the centre of the fire.
