The Monday edition of the city daily
newspaper is far more entertaining than
one Of H. Rider Haggard's novels.
Sunday is dull day for real news so
the weeks accumulation of fakes and
fairy tales is dumped into the Monday
issue. Hence it is advisable to take a
pinch of salt with the perusal of your
Monday morning daily.

The general public cares very little
how many grain gamblers "go broke" in
the Chicago market but it is deeply in
terested in the fact that the furry of
the past few days is due to what is
known on Change as ''farmers' mar
ket, and that the result of the wildness
on Monday meant 20 cents bushel to
the man who raised the grain.

Lesgourgnes. knight of the Legion Of
Honor. His dog, q spaniel, answering
to the name Of Black, accompanied the
funeral procession to tho cemetery Of

ment Black has walked the distance Of
nine miles which separates Perignat
from Izernore, climbed over the wall Of
the cemetery. and gone to lie down on
the grave Of his master every day 1t the

Of the village children NOR the efforts OF

prevented the accomplishment Of his
seff imposed task. For the last sixteen

4 Question for English Lawyer..

A correspondent raises the question
whethera retired judge can practice at
the bar, and goes on to say: THE point
is an interesting one, and If report
speaks truly it is not unlikely TO be
raised by the action of Mr.. Justice
Hawkins, who, on his retirement next
month, it is said. will resume his old
role of advocate. There is no precedent
for an English judge appearing again
at the bar after retirement, but it is not
an uncommon thing for an Indian or
colonial judge to resume practice when
he has left the bench. These officials,
however, are in an entirely different
position to their English brethren, aud
their example counts for very little.
The absence Of an English precedent
is much more to the purpose, and it
would probably be considered conclusive
by the bar committee if not by the
judges before whom the question might
be raised, Anyway. it would be decid-
eddy unfair for judge who had received
Il handsome pension to enter into compe-
tition with his struggling professional
brethren who had yet a career to make,
to say nothing of the awkwardness OF
the situation which would be created. -

for treasure which traditions say is to

from that city. Before the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock there were

history OF the explorations made as early
as 1910, wrote Of the seven cities Of
Cibola. describing them as Of fabulous
wealth and magnificent beauty. The
ruins at Gran Guiyera are believed to be
the ruins Of one Of those cities.
Coronado told Of abundant gold and
treasures IN all Of these cities, and many
expeditions have explored about Quivera
The ruins indicate that i large city stood

his potatoes around and did other mis-
