tents were covered with insurance,
causing no loss to Mr.. Butcher. Two
alarms were sent in and the fire de-
partment responded as soon as pos
sible considering that only six fire
men reported for duty and they were
compelled owing to the frozen condi-
ton Of the streets, to get a livery
horse to assist them with the hose
cart. Hose was lain and water
thrown and the tiremen say they
could have saved the house if they
thad had enough men to assist them
with the carts. Wellington should
have better fire service; there are
only sixteen flremen on the list and
part Of them are not in town half the
time, part CT them do not hear the
bell, and the result is, that only q
few report for fires when they occur
at night. If the fire that night had
been a Business block, the result
would have been the same-it would
have been consumed. We should
have at least thirty men on the list.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
House Committee Recommends an Ap.
priation of $4,000
Tor Determination OF the LineUnder tho
webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1919
Complaints Arise Over the Seizure OF
American Craft the Lake.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE bound
airy dispute between the state OF Min
nesota and the Dominion of Canada for
the determination of which the house
committee on foreign affairs recon-
mended an appropriation of $4,000,
arises under a construction of the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty of ls42. II is
contended that If the instructions
of the treaty be literally carried
out, the boundary as marked by the
various maps has not yet been estab-
lished correctly. A strict interpreta-
ton of the treaty would cut Hunters
island in two. No definite deter
mination has ever been arrived
Mt showing exactly the fixed
line between Canada and the Unit
ed States either in that portion
northwest of Lake Superior or the line
through Lake Erie. Many complaints
have been made of the seizure of Amer
lean fishing craft and interference with
American rights and property in con-
sequence of the uncertainty and con-
fiicting views to the true boundary.
Hence the action recommended.

sented TO the senate their views on the
bill to prevent the determination of
the far seals by ordering their dcstruc-
ton by officers of the government.
Mr.. sherman bases his opposition on
the ground that the proposed destruc-
ton of the seals by the United States
is cruel act. not to he justified even
though the same result may be brought
about by pelagic sealing. The meas
ure proposed is dictated. he SAYS.
by apparent spite, because some
other power will destroy them in an
other way. 1T is better" Mr. Sher-
man says, "to take the chances that
Great Britain will give to the subject
kinder and more generous treatment
and join with the United States in
making new regulations to preserve
seal life" Senator Morgans views
have heretofore been published.

Frc~eh Gr.phoioeist Says That Ie In.
dicstes the Writers Chsr.etsr.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter 1t" alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality of
life, and the horizontal bar the infiu-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
part of the vertical line-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup of the writer. and
that the inferior part of this line CORE
spends to the practical and material
part of the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
is with Il line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky. as it were. The
poet often crosses his rs quite above
the vertical line; in other words, in the
sky.
The pessimist crosses his It's with a
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences at the ideal portion
of the letter. descends little by little I'M
til it is lost among the sad realities of
earthly existence.
The practical man. il appears, always
steers a middle course, and crosses his
t's neither in the ideal nor in the ma
terial. but exactly midway between the
two.
