What II Thinks About People and
Their Doings.
The ideasespassing through the poor
mind OF that baby seal, pitifully pass
ing away at the scene of his birth in
Central Park, if put into .articulate
speech, might run something this
way:
i am glad to 60. If I had been on
hand when this world was made
think / could have offered some sug-
gestions.
I'd have made a big Arctic Ocean
for seals, instead OF a seven-by-nine
tank.
I'd have put icebergs in it for them
to play on in place of dressed stone
banks.
Idhave filled it with live fish for seals
to catch instead of having them fed
dead ones.
I'd have made real polar bears to
eat up bad, selfish seals, and I'd tell
stories about them and brighten big,
nasty seals that steal my fish.
I'd have set aurora borealises fam
ing in the sky in place OF bulbs OF cleo
trio light hanging from a pole.
I'd make the women who wear poor
murdered SEALS skins freeze to death,
and have foxes come and eat them.
Superintendent Conklin may be a
good man, but I'd like to know who
made him any better than me. Crea-
lures will be free and equal in my
world. =
I'd make him catch fish for me with
q hook and line if l had my way, sit
AtiAg ON a rock.
Why wasn't l born a whale? I'd
have all down-trcdden seals born
whales.
Now I've got consumption. Is that
my fault? If it isn't then what sort
of a world is this for seals?
Man is only a split seal, anyhow,
and looks ridiculous. If / could grow
up and get him in the water I could
lick him.
Girls come and look at me and say:
poor little thing" Some girls are
most as nice as seals, but they must
swim awful.

Some of the widest and most 70

Notes From Eek elsOn

EoKELsoN, N. D., Jan. 19.-This last
cold snap has run in all the threshine
crews till spring, it is thought. We are
having the coolest weather since 1875
and 1S80-so people say here-but in
this vicinity it has not caused any dam.
age or trouble.
There has been q band OF antelope,
about fifty in number, around here TO,
two weeks past, and the people here
abouts have had a treat in the way Of
meat.
We have a new section foreman, MI.
Botsford, from Tower city. He is dis
charging his duties faithfully. Our
old foreman has gone to Ireland.
Everything is progressing smoothly
in our postofice, and our postmaster
says there has got to be q change in
politics before he gets knocked ont.
Money is plenty with all except those
whoshave not threshed. We have done
more business here than ever before.
Edward Thompson, owner and en-.
gineer of the threshing machine which
blew up on Nov. 8, is fast improving,
and will soon be in as good condition az
ever. His brother Alfred, who lost bis
arm by being hit with a piece of the
flying boiler. is also getting along
nicely. This crew is considered one Of
ablest and best of the threshing crews
in Barnes county, but it seems that bad
luck has followed the family for some
time.
Our new county commissioner, Harry
Gieen, is attending to business and we
look for q reform in our county dads. As
all of the board is new but one and all
have an eye to business, besides being
able farmers, it is expected that the
county affair g will be conducted
in a manner satisfactory to all CON-
cerned.

A Disguised King

King Yuhua-he has thirteen other
names besides this-is the monarch of
Siam, and, being a comparatively
young man. is tinctured with the
modern spirit OF reform. As may be
imagined, the Siamese labor under
all manner OF expressions, justice be-
ing corrupted and taxes very heavy.
The king is said to perambulate the
streets of Bangkok disguised in plain
clothes for the purpose of learning the
true condition OF the people, and al
though he hasn't probably learned
very much, his Haroun Al Raschid
habits have done foreigners a great
deal OF good.
It used to be that an Englishman or
American was very liable to get into
trouble while wandering through the
Bangkok streets, especially at night,
but now, since the natives have learn
ed that King Yuhua is abroad, they
are extremely careful whom they mo-
lest. Two naval officers in plain clothes,
returning to their ship, found their way
blocked by a group OF evil-looking ma
tives. For 3 moment affairs looked
serious, until II of the officers
turned up his coat.collar: as if to con-
ceal his countenance, and advanced
boldly, whispering meanwhile to his
companion to do likewise. The ruse
was successful. Muttering the name
of the king, the Siamese skunk away,
each one trying to hide his face from
the supposed ruler OF their lives.
The MIIkman in the English Courts.
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of Eng
land, and Mr.. Justice Wright have
lust given a decision of almost equal
interest to the sellers and the consum-
ers OF milk. A certain milkman was
arrested for selling milk which did not
contain its legal proportion OF cream.
He said that it was no fault of hin1
The milk complained of happened
Oe taken from-the bottom ~ofta ca
and was, OF course, inferior to thJ
which had been taken from the tot
because the natural tendency of creal&
was to rise. TO ask him to interfcr6
with the natural action OF milk was
preposterous. The Magistrate took
this view OF the case and discharged
the prisoner. An appeal was taken.
and Justice Coleridge holds that the
Magistrate was wrong. it did not
matter, he said, whether the defend
~ had doctored his milk or not.
The important point was that he had
taken money for something which was
not what it pretended to be, or what
the law required should be. If the
milk deteriorated from natural or
other causes, he had no right to sell it
90 the perfect article. This lesson in
common honesty a;.u common sense
will be impressed ur,n the memory of
the offender by a linz, to say nothing
of LEGAL costs.

We are told that Hezekiah the king,
was dying of q boil. It must have
been one of the worst kind of carbun-
cles, a boil without any central core
and sometimes deathful. A fig was
put upon it as a poultice. Hezekiah
did not want to die then. His son
who was to take the kingdom had not
yet been born and Hezekiah's death
would have been the death of the ma
ton. So ne prays for recovery, and
il told he will get we'll. But he wants
some miraculous sign to make him
sure Of it. He has the choice of hav-
ingthe shadow on the sun-dial o Ahaz

it would not be so wonderful to have
the sun 60 down, for it always goes
sawn sooner or later. He asks that

the shadow on the dial the shadow be-
gins to retreat. Instead of going on

on toward 8 o'clock in the morning
