it was a sort of programme Of the dishes

This is how Tom Reed became a LAWYER:
He gave up school teaching, and thinking
that q young man would have a better
chance out west he went to California.
Judge Wallace, afterward chief justice Of
California, examined Reed for admission to
the bar. It was in 1868, during the civil
war, when the legal tender act was much
discussed in California, that Wallace,
whose Office adjoined the one where Reed
was studying, happened in one day and
said: "Mr. Reed, I understand that you
want to be admitted to the bar. Have you

Breezy Discussion in the Canadian
Parliament on the Subject.
OTTAWA, Feb. S.-The Dominion par
lament spent the entire afternoon in a
breezy discussion ON the ques-
ton of political union with the
United States. incidentally the policy
of the Democrats towards Canada, as
evidenced by the statements of w. M.
Springer, chairman of the ways and
means COMMITTEE of congress, was
expounded by John Charlton, leading
Liberal member of parliament, whose
frequent visits to Washington have
caused him to be branded as disloyal by
leading Canadian newspapers. Mr..
Charlton, amidst opposition cheers, de-
clared the policy of the government
toward the Liberal party to be one of
calumny and detraction. If any feeling
for annexation existed here it was all
due to the policy of government
which imposed heavy burdens on the
people. Mr.. Mclean, Tory member
of parliament, followed in abusive
terms. He characterized Attorney
General Langley, of Nova Scotia, as a
member ofssthe annexationist crew in
Guiding Goodwin Smith and Editor

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Miss G. F. Sickles
has returned from her journey in the
Indian Territory, where she went as
the representative Of the council Of adj
ministration of the worlds fair, to visit
the peaceable tribes and awaken among
them an interest in the worlds fair.
She says allathe Indians are anxious to
come to the fair and make an exhibit
which will show their desire for prog
ress. Speaking Of the Pine Ridge
trouble Miss Sickles said:
Let me tell you that despite the Geographic
reports to the contrary the event of few days
ago is only the prelude to an outbreak which
will have far reaching results. The warriors
of the Ridge are stealthily and systematically
organizing under such men as Red Cloud, who,
while keeping their persons far from the act
ual scene of action, are stirring up the feeling
of their followers with view to bringing
about bloodshed. AS matter of fact the dis
affection which resulted in the rebellion CT Two
years ago has never been checked. 1t is sim
ply suppressed for the time and is sure to burst
forth again with added force, Tho chest songs
are again being sung as means Of organiza.
ton, and in every camp is apparent the hostile
spirit which showed itself two years ago.

Judge Allen was originally Demo-
