Benson Times: The Morris TRIB-

office was completely Quilted, but the
tribune comes to us on time just the
same, which shows commendable
degree of pluck on the part Of the
managers.
Many people are in the habit of
sending packages of merchandise
through the mails to the old country
as Christmas presents. These pack
ages, however, never reach their des-
tinaticn. They go to the dead letter
office and are subsequently returned
to the senders.

sauirms. This is just as we expected.
Our criticism, of last week, upon him
was. simply in the line Of our duty as
public journal, and, as yet, we see
no reason for modifying our COM
Iuents in any way. His windy exhi-
hilton, however, simply illustrate,
what every journalist knows to be q
fact-that the smaller and more insig.
nificant the official criticized, the
greater the Would-be kick:
Eric Nordquist, the man charged
with incendiarism, who disappeared
before the time act for his prellmip'
airy examination, leaving his bonds,
man In the-lurch, has been captured
in Chicago. and is now In charge Of
