Rang out amid the snow;

Keep singing as you 20

The thought her song suggested then
Nor soon shall forget
Amid the coolest OF lies cheers.
Yes, cen amid its woe,
One rule will sweeten nll-'ts this:
Keen singing as you so.
Twill sweeten not alone your heart,
But some Others lit
From depths which seem too great for them
Though they know not the gilt
Ali would you fill blessed place
And good on men hestow,
Then cheer the euldest walks OF lie

They either never lived, were misuu-

lions Of some woman and were blam-

made to clear up the character OF the
bold and bad or the foolish and dis
obedient women mentioned in the
Bible. Their names go from one age

THERE is in New York class of
rich old fellows Who by long expert
ence, have acquired the art OF success :
full speculation. During a great part
of the year they are inactive, but two
or three times in nearly every twelve
month there ar9 brief periods of
marked decline in the values Of stock.
Then these old fellows may be seen
limping down to their brokers' Offices.
They buy giit-edged stocks for cash
and then wait till the market has re-
covered and their newly-acquired
securities have advanced to where
they we're before the decline. Then
these sly old dogs quickly sell out In
vest their profits in choice real estate
that is increasing in value and retire
TO their splendid homes to await a,
other heavy decline.

As REGARDS the writing machine, its
use is in the first place less harmful,
less tiresome to the body ana mind,
and more fruitful of results than the
use OF the pen or pencil The writer
does not have to bend over table,
contracting his chest and diminishing
the capacity of his lungs. making him
round-shouidered, getting writer's
cramp and being choked by his collar.
There is a frcer flow of blood to the
brain, and consequently freer flow OF
ideas from the brain. In the next
place, the machine is time-saver.
The man that can write thirty words
minute with his hand for an hour or
two is rarity, but one does not have
TO be very expert with the writing
machine to double or triple his output.

Is an interesting feature of life in
Russian cities. The walters are attired
In white from head to foot. with
large black purse at the waist, and all
are men. Tea is drunk alone or with
lemon, and the sugar eaten from the
hand. Eleven or fifteen cups are not
too many for an old tea drinker.

LONDON, Aug. l6.-Salisbury's last
dispatch to Blaine relative to the Behring
sea dispute bears date Aug. 2. After
quoting from historical documents, the
dispatch concludes: These show that
England refused to admit any part of the
Russion claim, asserted in the ukase of
1921, to the marine jurisdiction and ex-
elusive right of fishing throughout the
whole extent of that claim from Behring
Straits to the 5lst parallel. Also that the
contention of 1925 was regarded by both
sides as a remuneration on the part of
Russia of the claim in its entirety, and
that though Behring Straits is known
and specifically provided for in BehrIng
sea, it was not known by that name, but
was regarded as part of the Pacific ocean.
Her majesty government always claimed
the freedom of navigation for fishing in
Behring sea outside of the marine league
from the coast. 1t Is impossible to admit
that che right to fish and catch seals in
the high seas can be held to be abandoned
by a nation from the mere fact that for a
certain number of years it has not suited the
subjects of that nation TO exercise such
rights. 1t must be remembered that the
existence of British Columbia as a colony
and the development of the colony's ship
ping interest is comparatively recent. If
the United States government continues
to differ with Great Britain as to the
legality of recent captures, her majesty's
government is ready to refer the question,
with the issues dependent thereon, to i'm
partial arbitration.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-Todsy's Tribune
say there is a movement on foot which,
if carried out on the lines proposed. will
eclipse all former plans and give to New
York an institution without a rival in the
country. The establishment of a national
university in this city with an endowment
at the outset of $40, OOO, 900, is proposed.
John d. Rockefeller, president of the
Standard Oil Trust company, and Rev. s.
S. Macarthur, ID. D., pastor Of the Cal
vary Baptist church in this city, the two
men most interested in the project, are
both out of town, hut from a friend of one
of them it was learned yesterday that
MacArthur's dream OF a great Baptist
university in this city seems about to be
realized. The university which DIR. Mac
Arthur desires the Baptist denomination
to have in this city is one into which no
one shall be m~atriculated who has not
already been graduated from some re-
putable college. He considers 1t I'M
fortunate religiously and periodically,
that so many young Americans have been
obliged to 90 to Germany. Austria, France
and other foreign countries TO complete
their education.

PARIS, Aug l6 The Mckinley bill
still excites commercial circles in this city
and the provinces. The recent consular
conference held in this city received com
plants from nearly thirty chambers of
commerce. pointing put the difficulty of
complying with the provisions of the bill
without almost destroying trade. The
conference passed resolutions regretting
that delegates from the chambers of com
merce did not attend the session. 1t
could have been shown that the bill did
not Cypress honest importers; hat Its
only aim was to protect the revenues of
the United States and the fines and pen
alties imposed by the bill we're chiefly re-
enactments of old laws. The conference
decided to forward the communications
received from the chambers of commerce
to Washington for the most favorable
consideration that the terms of the law
would permit. The French press has
magni6ed the resolutions into a promise
to waive some of the strongest require
ments of the law. The papers appear to
believe that the American consular body
has the will aud right to nullify the act of
congress.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Double Tragedy.
A Jealous Husband Kills His
Wife and Himself.
New York Central Strikers
Confident of Success.

NORTH PLATTE, Aug. l6.-Last even
ing Fred Newman shot aud killed his wife
and then suicided with the same weapon
The residents of the north side were
startled about 6 O'Clock By a little child at
Newman's house screaming that her
mother needed help, followed by two
shots.
The marshal was hastily called and
found the doors locked. After looking
through the window and seeing two bodies
OF the bed he broke open the door and
entered, where a horrible sight met his
eyes.
Lying on the bed. with her head hang
ing partly off. was Mrs. Newman. with a
bullet hole Just back of her ear and blood
running in pools across the floor. On
the same bed lay her husband with a re-
volver in bis hand. he was shot in about
the same place. He had apparently shot
himself while sitting on the bed and had
fallen back on the pillow.
Newman was a young man about % or
% years Of age. Mrs. Newman was
about IS years old and came here from
Texas with a daughter 7 years old some
time last summer. She was married to
Newman in November last. The couple
were out at the cemetery in the afternoon
and Newman made some remark as to
how he would like to lie in one Of the
graves, indicating a grave that the sexton
was digging. Jealousy is supposed to be
the cause Of Newman's act, as he sus-
pected his wife of associating with other
men. II is thought that his mind had
been unbalanced. as he attempted to
poison himself a year ago. Newman was
employed at night in the round house.

Garfield Beach on Great Salt Lake,
Utah.

The famous health and pleasure resort,
Garfield Beach, on Great Salt Lake,
Utah. lS miles from Salt Lake City, and
reached only via the Union Pacific, 1.-THE
Overland Route, is now open for the
season. This is the only real sand beach
on Great Salt Lake, and is one of the
finest bathing and pleasure resorts in the
West Great Salt Lake Is not a sullen,
istless sheet of water, beating idly on the
shore, but on the contrary is as beautiful
a sheet of water as can be found anywhere.
Ii is 81 per cent salt, while the ocean is
only 3 per cent. and the water is so bouy-
ant that a person is sustained on its
surface indefinitely without the least effort
on his part. Experience has proven its
great bygenic effects. Owing to the
stimulating effect of the brine on the skin,
or the saline air on the lungs the appetite
IS stimulated. and after a bath. the bathers
are ready for a hearty meal, and feel
greatly invigorated. Fine bath houses,
accommodating 400 people. have been
erected at Garfield Beach, in connection
with which there is a irst-class restaurant
and a large dancing pavilion built out over
the lake, all of these are run by the Union
Pacific, who guarantee a first-class resort in
every respect. The Union Pacific has
made low rates of fare for those rde-
