There is at Ozark, Mo, a remark
able relic of the tornado that devas-
tated Marshfield in 1880. The day
after the disaster E. S. Wilson, a
blacksmith of Ozark found a black
quart bottle, which had been bent so
that the neck of the bottle touched
the edge of the bottom, and yet the
glass was not cracked. Prof. Tice,
who visited the scene of the tornado,
attributed the bending Of the bottle
to electricity. 1t was found in the
wreck of one of the Marshfield drug
stores.

THE Mormons, defeated at Salt
Lake City and seeing the inevitable,
are preparing to colonize on the bord-
er and have already planted flour
ishing colony at Lees Greek in the
territory of Alberta. They have al
ready made a convert of one of the
members of the British Columbia leg
islature who has cast in his solid
wealth among them and now appears
in the public prints as the defender of
their religious faith including polyga-
my. More have arrived this year
than in any year since the colony was
planted, in 1886, and the Dominion au-
thorities are met with the Utah prob
lem at their very doors. The discov-
cry was made accidental by a gov
eminent surveyor and the authorities
at Ottawa are greatly exercised over
the matter.

bad craftsmanship and demands the

THE fools are not all dead, not even
in old Hingland. Some Englishman
with brain room to let writes his local
paper enquiring how many stops he
shall make and what he shall eat and
drink in making a hundred mile jour-

lish it. If he rides on an ass he had
better consult his brother traveller
about it.

MEXICO is getting it down about
right. A man walking along the
railway track of the Mexican Ma.
tional was run over and killed. A
local paper called very loudly for
judgment against the railway but
the Chihuahua judge, before whom the
case came, very sensibly remarked,
"there is no instance on record of a
train leaving the track and chasing a
man across the prairies." When
Mexico is older in her railway ex-
periences she will learn to deal
justly.

A Guardian Company Needed for a

A Guardian Company Needed for a
Cup.
The election of Robert b. Green as
major of the Belknap battalion pre-
cludes him from hereafter command
ing company drills in competitive
prize drills, although it does not pre-
vent him commanding in prize bat
TALON competitions.
The boys say there is just as good
material, however, |: in the battalion
for captains, as all that is needed is
thorough knowledge of tactics and
GOODNESS in command. The battalion
may, in drills enter all three COM
panies to contest for the prize, and
also enter the battalion contests.
1t is intended to have competitive
drills of the three companies on holt
days, as the coming fair, February o.,
Fourth of July, ETC., to ascertain which
company will be named as guardian
of the championship cup. The win
ming company will have the pick of
the battalion for this purpose, and it
will then be pretty hard for any other
company to wrest it from them.

He acknowledged both with cheery shout and wave of the hand, then cracked his whip and drove on.

He stoops to receive her goodbye kiss and her parting words of advice With the teardrops of rnotherly pride and affection trickling down her cheeks, she places her arms about his neck. 'I charge you, my boy" she says, ito be man be honest, he true, and, above all, never do anything that you would be ashamed to have your mother know" Long will those words remain in his memory long will the picture of his invalid mother he last saw her be always before him. and her pale. sweet face, with It's look of yearning tenderness her love, her ,cedkness in one sense, be his strength to help him to mAnfully fight the battle of life.
