The County Board.

The Commissioners have been in session during
the week. The chief matter of interest was the
appearance before the County Board of Messrs.
Parker and Potter, of Winchester, as a committed
representing the Taxpayers Alliance, of which
Mr.. Robert Maxwell is president. Mr.. Parkef
also acted as attorney for several residents of the
Holland settlement and other citizens who
claimed to be wrongfully assessed. As is usual,
where an affidavit as to the alleged facts accom-
panied the, complaint, the matter was rectiied.
In certain cases, where the Board decided against
the committee. it was understood that appeals
would be made. Unlike the usual custom in
controversies of this kind, good feeling seemed
to grow as the hours passed, and at the close OF
the hearing, 80 far as the scribe could see no one
had on his war-paint, and there was no "blood
on the face Of the moon.'

day on his way to Bismarck, with eight

that Mr.. Wescott intends to make trip
to Wisconsin next spring for the purpose
of bringing out 4ot of young stock.
He says that, if orders for two or more
carloads can be secured, he can deliver
good, fair two-yearold hcifcrs (no scrubs)

is splendid opportunity for our farmers
to secure young breeding stock at fair
price. From conversations had on the
subject with number of the settlers here
abouts, we believe there would be no diff
tlculty in securing orders for at least two
carloads from the Williamsport neigh
borhood. Again, what rare chance
this trip of Mr.. Wescotts would be for
clubbing together and securing one or
two high grade or young thoroughbred

VIII you please state who is regarded as the
first English or American humoriSt. G.
There was one who though he was not a
professional humorist, though he was occu-
pied with the most weighty responsibilities
the nation ever imposed on any one man, yet
taught so much by humorous illustration that
we think he deserves to stand at the head Of
American huUorists This was Abraham
Lincoln Take for example his remark to
Lord Lyons, the British minister at Washing
ton, while Lincoln was president, when
Lord Lyons called at the White House to an
nounce the approaching marriage of the
Prince of Wales. Lord Lyons was a bachelor.
With all the dignity of an ambassador of
great power, he stood before President Lin
coin and announced an event which, IN court
circles, was regarded so momentous. Mr
Lincoln stood listening with gravity becoming
the head of a great nation, but with twinkle
in his eve, till the end. Then in lieu Of the
formal response that was expected he said:
Lord Lyons, 60 thou and do likewise" A
satire on the antiquated ceremonies of foreign
potentates- that have endured so
long that, as Macaulay would have expressed
1t, their origin is lost in the twilight Of fable,
could not have spoken so forcibly and in so
condensed form in any other way.

In what part OF the world was the Garden Of
Eden located' CHURCRAAS.
The location Of the Garden of Eden is dis
puted by biblical scholars. Some have en-
deavOred TO locate it by means of the fruits
and mineral productions named in the
description given in Genesis ii, s-l7 But the
main indication seems 20 be in the four rivers
named. 1t seems to be agreed by commenta-
tors that the Tigris and Euphrates are the
third and fourth rivers mentioned. But they
differ rs TO what rivers should be regarded as
the Pison and GihoR- Some think that the
Pison is the Ganges and the Gihon the sacred
river Of Egypt; Others that the Garden of
Eden was located on the high table land of
Armenia from which rise the Tigris and Eu-
pirates. Others think that Eden was in the
vicinity of the Mountains Of the Moon, IN
Africa, regarding the Nile as Pison and the
Niger as Gihon. The vicinity OF the city of
Babylon is still another place where the Gar
den is supposed TO have been located Each
of these theories has its advocates but there
is nothing conclusive.

In the large cities the hospitals for sick poor
have wards set apart for children alone.
Some of the little ones have never had q kind
word a clean bed or a taste of nice food in
their wretched lives until they got them in
the hospital. Therefore the hospital, cruel as
the treatment must sometimes be, is like a
glimpse of paradise to them. Mrs. NJ. l.
Rayne writes Of childs hospital that she
visited:
If you have never been in the children's
ward OF great hospital go there and learn
from these little ones how to suffer and be
strong"
All day long they lie there, weeks, nay
months, at a time, suffering from painful dis
ease or fractured limbs, yet they will greet
you with smile, though no wave Of color
will suffuse the deadly whiteness of cheek and
brow, and the tiny form quivers in the grasp
of cruel pain They lie there in the cool
clean ward on sweet, white cots, with no yes
terriays To remember and no to-morrows to
welcome. They live only day by day, and
their happiest hour is that in which He
giveth His beloved sleep"

world than this Here is the insignia of suf-
fering in the pulleys which straighten the
deformed limbs. This little boy with the

ported by these appliances Of medical skill.
But the doctors know that he is incurable.
There are toys near him, but he has no heart
