Counties have been armed by Gen. Blunt
-Four hunters were killed by the Indians at
Sallna. Between sixty and seventy dead bod
les OF white men were seen between Miles

standing between Big Sandy and Little Blue.
The Inhabitants between Forts Kearney and
Denver have all fed.
Four trains were captured by the Indians
on the Little Blue, and all the stock, 45O head
OF cattle and large number of mules driven

OF them armed with long range guns. Capt.
Thompson, with seyenty-iive men OF the 10Th
Kansas cavalry and one howtzer, are moving
in pursuit of the Indians. Dispatches from,
him, dated the 4th, say the Indians moved

What a Governor Costs.

Our governor general is very expen-
sive officer. We have to pay him sal
airy of $3l, III year. However, 1t APP
pears from the public accounts that our
governor cannot live on his salary, and
that we have to provide all sorts of adj
ditional comforts. For his secretary and
clerks ST, 500; for contingent disburse-
ments in the secretary's office S4,733.
Last year some $50, 900 was spent for a
winter residence inside the city, but it
seems his excellency's house constantly
wants alterations and repairs, and un-
fortunately for the country, is not yet
made comfortable to bis satisfaction.
He cannot afford on bis salary to pay
even for his water or his gas or the re-
moving Of snow from the front of his
door All this we must pay for We
give the corporation of Quebec 1920
year for the water his excellency
drinks at bis residence Another special
charge is for the water drunk by his
horse sS5. We pay for his pew in the
Cathedral. His house must be splendid
ly Illuminated, for which we are charg-
ed no less than $3.50 for the gas he CON
sumes in one year But even his horse
must enjoy the light of gas, and We must
pay 1927 for the luxury in his ex-
cellency's stables. Cleaning snow at
Spencerwood costs 1921. There are
large sums for repairs and alterations
and furniture to the St. Louis street resi-
dence. When his excellency goes to
Spencerwood we must pay the expenses
of his moving; and when he travels it is
at our expense and not his. 1t will be
wise and provident on our part to con-
slider well all the amount of this princely
expenditure before we make up our
minds to accept from McCee young
king who will draw for himself and his
court annual sums at least tenfold larger

Peter, Paul and John.

each of the three has his dis
tinct place in the first formation Of
the early church. Peter is the foun-
der, Paul the propagation, John the
fnisher, Peter the Apostle of the
rising dawn, Paul of the noon in its
heat and in its clearness, John of
the sunset-frst in the stormy sun
set of the Apocalypse, then in the
calm brightness of the Gospel, and
Epistles of his old age Each is the
centre round which the floating ele-
ments of thought and action-the
scattered writings Of the sacred ca
non-the wild distortions Of them in
the heretical sects-clustered and
crystalized. The whole world Of
Jewish Christians leaned upon St.
Peter, as the whole world Of Cen
tile converts leaned upon St. Paul,
and the whole body of mixed be-
levers turned, after the fall of Jeru-
salem, to the sole surviving Apostle
at Ephesus. Each was connected
with the sole authentic records of the
life of Christ; whatever may be the
explanation in detail of the origin of
the twin gospels of St. Matthew and
St. Mark, there can be little doubt
that it was St. Peters disciples who
firstreceived the representation which
is preserved to us in the Prophet and
Lawgiver according to st. Matthew,
the human friend according to St.
Mark; whatever may be the account
Of the compilation Of the Gospel
and Acts Of St. Luke, we need not
hesitate to recognize in them St.
Paul's view; first, of the Suffering
Victim, then of the Invisible Guide
Of the Universal Church; whatever
may have been the immediate object
of the Gospel of St. John, we at
once acknowledge that we there have
the complete image of the Word
made flesh, which the early church
naturally believed could have pro
ceeded from none but the beloved
disciple. Each has borne his part in
the unfolding of the Divine econo-
my. Peter, the Apostle Of coura-
geous and confident hope, Paul of
faith, John of love Peter, Of power
and action; Paul, of thought and
wisdom; John, of feeling and good
ness Peter clings to the recollec-
tons Of the older world that is pass
ed or passing away; Paul plunges
into the conflicts of the present; John,
whether as Prophet, Evangelist, or
Teacher, fixes his gaze on the invisi-
bic and the future; Peter gave to
Christianity its first outward histor-
ical form; Paul its inward and spiritual
freedom; John, that Divine end and
object in which form and spirit har-
monte. "-Stanzcy's Sermons.

Little Bessie's Dying Charge.

LITTLE Bessie was dying. Miss Alice,
her teacher, and her weeping, uncon-
verted father and mother stood beside
her bed.
Gam | going to die, Miss ALICE" she
asked.

blessed Saviour very soon, my dear, IRE
Piled her teacher. "Are you willing to
go ?"

"you shall have it in your hands"
Bessie's father, sitting close beside
her, burst into tears, for it almost broke
his heart to think that she was going to
leave him.
ashanti | see you again, my little
girl?'' he sobbed out at length. Little
Bessie looked troubled.
ashanti l ever see you again, dear ?"
ne repeated.
"Ifyou will love the dear Saviour, faith
er, you will go to heaven, she whispered,
putting her weak little hand in his.
Wont you love him? | shall want you
and mother to be there"
II don't know what to dol don't
know how to find the way" cried the
poor man.
Then little Bessie's face frightened,
and she beckoned Miss Alice near.

have it; and when | get to heaven will
tell Jesus that l left my little Bible to
show my dear father and mother how

These words were the last little Bessie
spoke.
Her father and mother wept over her
coffin, and held her little Bible in their
clasped hands. They never forgot her
dying charge, and that precious book
was read and studied by them both I'M
til they gave their hearts to Christ and
learned the way to heaven.

Flax--Its Culture and Preparation

AS there will be hereafter market at
high prices for both straw and seed, the
culture of fax will be profitable. There
fore, for the information of those who
have not heretofore given their attention
to this crop, few facts may be stated in
relation to its cultivation and subsequent
treatment, which may be depended upon
as being the result of the experience of
the most successful fax growers.
j. Any well prepared good soil which
is not wet nor weedy will grow Flax we'll.
z. New timber clearings, new prairie
and old turf lands will yield clean
heavy crop.
3. The quality of straw and seed is
improved by seeding up to two bushels
OF seed per acre. With this heavy seed
ing twenty bushels ofseed and three tons
OF straw have been produced per acre in
Wisconsin.
a. Care should be taken in sowing to
distribute the seed very evenly over the
ground. Some are accustomed to SOW
half the seed over the field one way and
then the other half at right angles to the
first sowing.
5. The seed should be covered by a
light tooth or brush harrow, and then.
for best results, rolled.
8. A good crop has been obtained in
Fond du Lac county from seed put in
during the first of May therefore SOW as
soon after the first of May as the ground
is in good order.
Z. Slight frosts do not kill the Young
plants and after the plant has formed
over four leaves no frost will ruin the
crop.
s. Flax should be cut with the scythe
or moving machine or pulled as the seed
is barely brown and hard though the
stalk be green
8. If the harvest weather is wet turn
over the straw between showers.
10. The usual plan of threshing is by
treading out with horses or by threshing
with fail. But where the quantity
will warrant it the New York & De
Pere Flax Company will furnish ma
chinery for the purpose.
IL. The time for rotting is from the
lst of September to the lst of December
and from the lst of January to the lst
of May. The fall is usually the best
season. Dew rotting requires an expo
sure of from two weeks to two months !;
occasional showers will very much short
the time
II. When properly rotted the lint
separates freely from the shives, on be.
ing broken and rubbed smartly between
the hands.
Is. As soon as rotted, perfectly dry
it should be taken up and hauled to the
purchaser or housed or stacked secure
from moisture.
IA. The cost of rotting will not exceed
one dollar and half per ton.
Is. Flax is harvested after all Other
harvesting is over. Then labor being
more abundant and cheaper, consider
able saving of expense is effected.
