When the visitor says he believes it
is time for him to go, 1t is consistent to
show his faith by his works.
Always ask what the circulation is
now.
If you want to please the editor, nev
er compliment what he has written,
but praise what he has clipped from
an exchange.
If you don't find a chair handy, sit
on the editorial desk.
Don't hesitate to speak to the edito,
when he Is writing; you may catch q
brilliant thought, hot from the wires,
so to speak.
Never subscribe until pressed to do
so. and then remark casually to send
tho bill around sometime.
Don't fail to look over what proof

a dozen chances during the day for
him to get Il bad mark for being late.
AT the inspection of quarters the
cadet gets dement's if he is found in
his room coatless, if the floor is dirty,
if his overcoat hangs on the second

keep a horse. He bought IL light

Ottawa, Ont, June 22.-Advices
from the northwest frontier state
that the United States Indians Uhe
Gros Ventres), who had crossed over
to take hand in the rebellion OF
Poundmaker and Big Bear, have been
driven across the line by Stewards

about the border and may yet give
trouble after the troops are with
drawn. II is believed large number
of Canadian Assiniboine Indians have
gone south with the Gros Ventres.
1t is the intention of the government
TO station 500 mounted police along
the frontier In future to prevent cat
tic raiders, who have been 80 success
