AFTER TIMBER THIEVES.
A Land Once Expedition to Picket the
Canadian Border.


New York World
On September / an expedition will set
out from Duluth on an errand of extreme
delicacy and Importance. and which may
be fraught with something of the interest
that attaches 10 the Behring sea mat
ter. Four special agents OF The
generalland Office, accompanied by an armed
force of sixteen men, will start on that
day TO investigate the alleged robbery of
valuable timber by Canadian lumbermen
from pubic lands in what is known as the
Rainy River Country" in Wisconsin. The
territory Is remste and undeveloped and
can only be reached by the use of canoes.
The charge is that for the past ten years
robping parties from Canada have come
down there every fall and carried off valu-
able timber. The forests of white and Nor
way pine there are reckoned among the
finest in the world. The depredations for
the last year alone are estimated ct 49,, Co.,
600 feet. The profits, of course, are enor-
nous. and the people of this country are
the sufferers in two ways. In the first
place the TIMBER is stolen from them, and
in the second place the sawed lumber is
brought back into the Dakotas and other
Northwestern states and brought into COM
mills, honestly obtained. Complaint on
this score has several times been
lodged with the interior depart
ment, but has until now gone
UNDECIDED. At last, however, the depart
ment is aroused, and what Is TO extend
into q practical inspection and picketing of
the whole Canadian border, with the view
of running down alien timber thieves. is to
be inaugurated.

SUB POST OFFICES.
Mr.. Brooks is Confident of Get
ting Four.
IT WOULD NOT BE EXPENSIVE.
Seaffie's Postmaster's Observations Of
Postal Service While In San Fran
cisco on Pleasure.

Postmaster A. n. Brookes returned yes
terday from three weeks soiourn at San
Francisco, and Immediately resumed the
active management of his Office. Mr..
Brookes returns feeling much improved
physically, and says he is glad to once
more be back home. He not only left 10
enjoy a short vacation--to get away from
the humdrum of routine business-but he
also combined business with pleasure. A
generous portion of the time spent in the
Bay city by the postmaster was at the pos
tai Offices. In company with the officials
he made a tour of all the departments. and
studied the system of service in detail,
looking for improvements by picking out
defects.
Consequent upon his erdeavor to have
delivery stations established in this city,
Mr.. Brookes made special and careful
survey of the San Francisco stations. He
said yesterday:
II think the chance to establish deliv-
cry stations here at presentg good. The pc
tition TO that effect now before the interior
department. am informed, is seriously
being considered. San Francisco has Pc
ttion in ahead of rs, asking for seven sta
tons and twenty extra carriers, and al
though 1t may cause q rub I don't think it
will effect the granting OF our petition. be-
cause we need the additional service.
Where and how many? Ii we come
out ahead. would like four stations-one
in South Seattle, one on Jackson street, an
other on Madison and still another in
North Seattle. The establishment of the
stations would mean great thing for Sc
attic as regards efficient and speedy serv-
ice, and take it all around, it would not be
more expensive than the old way"

Fruit a. q Diet.

The advantages of fruit on the table are
shown by chemistry and physiology to be
real. These substances are contained: A
large percentage of water. grape or fruit
sugar. free organic acids (malic in the ap-
pie, tariaric in the grape and citric in the
iemon). albuminoids or protein. pectose, a
substance which makes fruit iellies, and
cellulose, the material forming the cell
wells. Fruits also contain a small quantity
of mineral salts. The important dietetic
effect OF these minerals can scarcely be
oyer-rated. They undergo acidifcation in
the body, which lowers the temperature of
the blood. correcting the tendency TO fever.
ishness. and keep many of the organs OF
the body in g normal. healthy condition.
II is supposed that the organic acids tend
10 destroy disease germs that may nave
found Judgement in the body. All good
fruits, when perfectly developed and ma
tured. are easily digested.

The Truthful Member OF the Club Tells
Story of His Boyhood.
Chicago Tribune
When q man begins to recall remInis-
cences of his boyhood days his veracity is
never questioned by polite people. A
party OF club members were one evening
lately sitting on the piazza of their club
house engaged in that pleasant pastime of
living over their youthful adventures.
Several stories had been recounted and
swallowed, when the quiet member, noted
Tor his truthfulness. related the following
somewhat remarkable experience:

rooster, when We were yet small bows at
home. 1t was the largest fowl of the kind

up and eat off of barrel, and when he
erowed you could hear him two or three
miles away. One day it was decided to
kill the rooster. Jim and / were
deputed TO execute the victim. We

fence. Then got the ak and with the
first stroke severed the head from the body.
With one tremendous effort the bird
jumped about thirty feet in the air
and came down on the other side of an
eight-foot fence into our neighbours yard,
and ran plumb into our neighbours kitchen
with the blood from the severed neck
squirting in every direction. Our neigh
boris wife fell in a dead faint, and it re-

THE BABY's BLACK oATHs.
One of Brunswlck's 4-Year-Olc
Learned to Swear.
From the Bruns,oick tGa. } 4Yme


From the Bruns,cick tea times
There was a very amusing episode in
one of Brunswick's prominent families the
other day, and young America, not more
than years old, was the interesting sub
ject.
1t seems that the little fellow had been
allowed to play out on the streets a greater
part Of the day, and in this way had, un-
fortunately. fallen into the company of
some older boys, who were among Bruins
wicks champion swearers.
As was perfectly natural, the little fellow
was not very slow TO learn his lesson of pro-
family from the fluent and able teachers
who had taken him In charge, and a few
days after he had met them his mother
heard him fire volley of oaths at his nurse
that would have made the oldest aud black
est sinner envieus. The little lad stood
tnere and cussed until ne was black in the
face, while his mother stood speechless with
surprise and horror.
VI course, he was severely punished, but
the child seemed hOpelsssly fascinated with
thlS emphatic way of talking, and his
mother was perfectly powerless to correct it
oy any of the ordinary modes of punish
hient, 50 she finally res0rted to extreme
measures, and told him he must leave
home
" will not keep child in my house who
WIN swear" she said. ''You may take your
eiotnes with you, and 1 will give you

sNence, and then went sadly to work bund-
lhs up the few clothes he thought ne would
