The Monroe doctrine is being restated,
apropos of the discussion of the De Lesseps
canal scheme. The doctrine in question was

powers to declare that We should consider

the good feeling of the City Fathers.
The room has been papered, painted

long handsome table, and good sup
ply of arm chairs is provided. Con-
siderable business was disposed of that

Dear Sir Your post office card of

that / have no time nor money to
spend in interviewing your people
again on the subject, unless they want
to do something When / was there
in September last, il seemed almost
impossible for HE TO get any hearing at
all, consequently l could come to but
one conclusion that the people Of Sa-
lima did not desire water works"
The question of water works is not q
difficult problem 10 settle, il is simple.
We can, think, induce Eastern mon
ey 10 build your works on a fair basis.
one that will fair TO both the city and
the men who spend the money in
construction. As stated to you while
l was there, il your people
will investigtigate the matter, they
will find that il j. not a question of
whether they can afford 10 have them,
but can they afford To do without
them. If You desire you can talk TO
your representative men, then il they
want, l can make you a proposition

How to split a knotty cottonwood
chunk SO as to make it fit the Russia
iron stove, is as important a study of
domestic economy i'm this climate rs
making the detestable Oat meal break
fast answer both the demands of econ
omy and health. If one can spare time
he will reap financial benefit in watch
ing his neighbor open up the hidden
and intricate mysteries of the cotton
weod chunk He comes out of the
back door with an elastic step, whis-
tlting some common air, and on his
countenance is impressed in strong
lines high hopes and an overween-
ing confidence. He seiZes the ak
the trusty ax-the AK with blunted
edge, which tells of long disuse as well
as prolonged absence from the stone
which sharpens- He advances like a
conquering army upon his victim,
with AK poised lar above his head. He
strikes with mighty stroke-but not
with the precision ofthe educated wood
chopper, and the AK infiicts a cruel
wound upon the innocent, unofIending
earth-in dangerous proximity to his
innocent, unoffending toes. He
straightens back for another Herculean
effort, and this time drives the AK an
inch ortwo into the unyielding chunk.
He would withdraw the AK for anoth-
er stroke, but the AK will not with
draw, as he confidently expected.
He pulls upon the helve, brasing his
foot against the chunk, and struggles
with all the strength of an athlete.
Putting all the appliances he has at
his command In operation, after great
effort he succeeds in divorcing the Ak
from the chunk. He makes another
mighty stroke, but it has no percepti-
bic effect He now takes off his coat
ard renews the struggle with spirit.
Sill he is not master of the situation.
Off comes his vest, and in succession
his collar and neck tie, and then his
hat He still perseveres in the conflict.
His face is red, his eyes are swollen,
the perspiration streams down in riv-
ulets, his hair becomes dissrranged.
his breath is short and lsbored-he's
an object Of pity to his neighbors who
look out from the windows, und think
he is very foolish TO waste 80 much
time on 50 knotty n chunk. After
hope has almost died within him he
has succeeded in hewing of chip or
so-but still the chunk is too large for
the Russia iron stove. and he believes
that even in this fuel-es> climate there
is no profit in spending too much time
and labor and patience on a cotton
wood chunk.
