only of 81 authors sketched and quoted

votional literature. The price of each
volume Is 80 cents for cloth, 60 cents

CALDWELL, Kas., Feb. 9.-Pawnee
Bill and Oklahoma Harry Hill were in
the city last night. Jill was one Of the
chief agitators of the Oklahoma inv aston,
but on the passage of the Springer bill in
the lower house took the part OF stopping
the invasion. He satisfied Pawnee Bill
that no invasion should be made until the
senate took action on the bill. When
asked how they expected 10 get by the
soldiers into the territory in case OF an
Invasion he answered: eff the invasion
had started we would haveh had no trouble
in crossing the border, as we had pro-
vided for all emergencies. My intention
was to enjoin President Cleveland's
orders and hold the soldiers still until VIC
filled the territory full of people, and by
the time the injunction could have been
dissolved the opening Of the territory
could have been = thing of the past, as
the military has TO jurisdiction outside
Of civil action in tiae of peace. AS it is,
we are more satisfied to await the action
Of the senate"

shrewdest Of New York bootblacks aim
TO become the owners of several complete
bootblacking outfits. They cannot, OF
course, use all Of these themselves, but
they lease them to ether boys, charging
usurous rates therefor. If he rents his
brushes to one boy and his box and foot
rest to another he exscts from each one
quarter of his daily earnings. II he rents
the whole concern to one boy, that boy
must give him half Of his gains every

between here and Boston is reported as
saying that the cold cycles change every

opinion has been more than verified
within the past thirty years. That is to
say, in 1858 ice was not fit for cutting till
the latter part of February, and the sea
soR lasted into March; then came the
year 1868, five years intervening; then
1870, seven years intervening; then 1874,
