H. F. Heuss has, by his acts dur

explanation of how he could take
building contracts for much less than

way and had just completed a govern
ment school house and drawn the
amount of his contract, $2525. This
amount was paid to him at the gov
eminent building at 8 p. m. Wednes-
day
A few minutes after he drew his
money Allen & Robinson, his heaviest
creditors, telephoned to the cashier in
the Finance Office to know if the money
had been paid over, and when inform
ed that it had, still hunt began. But
Heuss never came back and number
of people who had trusted him are dis
consulate. Heuss was a member of Co.
H, N. G. H., and was elected q lieuten-
ant over Charlie Murray at the last
election. He was an active man about
town and made a number of friends.
ALLEN & Robinson furnished the ma

Heuss is from Seattle and it is pos
sible he left for that port on one of
the steamers on Thursday. His friends,
other than creditors, think he is rest

written roll he published the text of
the agreement whereby Maya re-

her Cousin Tikal, and l noticed that
this agreement was received by the

few expressions of disapproval.
Lastly, from another roll he read

sort. and also to myself, their friend,
for the maintenance of their rank and
dignity and of my comfort.
Having finished his task he asked the
senior and Maya whether they had
heard all that he had read by command
of the council, and, if so, whether they
approved thereof.
They bowed their heads in assent,
whereupon the herald turned, and, ad-
dressing Tikal by all his titles, called
upon him in virtue of his priestly Of

state to make these two one in the face

Ostrich Beats a Bicycle.

The Cape Times says that peculiar
experience befell local cyclist, DON

along the main road from Cape Town
to Somerset West Strand, when an os-
trich, attracted apparently by what
was in it's eyes a novel vehicle, COM
menced to waltz around the bicycle.
After few preliminary antics the bird
took it into its head to pace Mr.. Men
zies, and so long as it abstained from
using its wings the cyclist and the
ostrich ran a dead heat However,
after covering about half mile in this
way the ostrich utilized its stumpy
wings as sails and spurted away at
record-breaking pace, leaving the cy-
clist far behind. After that the bird
troubled Mr.. Menzies no more.

THE PRECISE MAN.
Advice as to the Manner of Putting on
Postage Stamp.

Advice as to the Manner of Putting on
Postage Stamp.
when you put postage stamp on
an envelope" said a precise man to his
son. you should put it on square and
true. in the upper right-hand corner,
and as near as possible to the margain
of the envelope. You put it on at the
right-hand corner for the convenience
of the stampers in the post Office, so
that it may be uniform in location with
the stamps on other envelopes and so
more conveniently and expeditiously
stamped; you should study the comfort
of others as well as yourself. You
should put it as near as possible to the
corner, SO that the canceling stamp
will be less likely to deface and so per-
haps to obscure the address on the en-
velope.
you should put it on square and true
because that is the methodical and
proper way to do. Many persons are
disturbed by the appearance of a
stamp put on in careless and slipshod
manner. And 1 can easily imagine that
such practice might work positive in
jury to you. You might have occasion
to write to a man on a matter of business
that was of Importance to you. You
might compose and write this letter
with faithful care and set forth what
you had to say with commendable
clearness and precision, and yet upset
it all by slapping on a stamp carelessfy;
the recipient might judge you by the
one slight act done naturally rather
than by the studied work done with a
purpose.
''My son, don't do it; put the stamp on
where it belongs, so that the little touch
of color will grace the envelope and not
deface it.

He Compromised.

One of Calgary's recent contingent to
the coast evidently knew but little
about the Chinook, judging by the story
that is being told on him. Wishing to
get some CLAIMS to take back with him,
he asked an old squaw, who had cob
webs in her eyes and basket on her
head, what she wanted for basketful.
and the blushing brunette replied: sit
cum dollar, hayas klosh." To this the
gay Calgaryite said: Humping vim
miny! Six dollars and all my clothes?
No, by gingersnap! I'll give you $3.50,
my watch and overcoat-" 1t is unneces-
sary to state that the offer was accepted,
as all the dusky maiden asked for the
CLAIMS was four bits.

Aperson arrayed in full Highland cos
tune caused terrible commotion in a
railway carriage in the Perrache sta
ton, near Lyons, recently.
Two ladies who were in the carriage
shrieked as they saw the awful specta-
Gle presented by the entry into their
compartment of a man without trous-
ers.
The Highlander, who was on his way
to Nice, nevertheless took his seat
with Caledonian GOODNESS, whereupon
the ladies screamed the louder. 1t was
in vain that the apparitiOn in the garh
of the old Gaul apologized and ex-
planned the situation in bad French,
and equally futile were the efforts OF
the station master, who assured the
ladies that the gentleman in the dirk

was perfectly harmless.
You don't run the shadow of a
risk, mesdames," insisted the station
master in his blandest tones; 1.-The gen
tleman comes from the country where

Despite everything, however. which
was said in order to calm their appre-
tensions, the over-timid lady travellers
had to be placed in carriage at a safe
distance from where the Caledonian,
stern and wild, was seated.

Warm Friend of Kruger.

Warm Friend OF Kruger.
Judge Steyn, who has recently been
elected president of the Orange Free
State, was chief justice of that country
before his elevation to the Office of the
presidency. The position had been
filled by the late F. w. Reitz. Judge
Steyn's election is considered a Boer
victory, as his candidacy was indorsed
and promoted by President Kruger, of
the Transvaal. DR.. Jameson and his
raid into the South African republic
had the sympathy of the uitlanders, or
non-citizens of the Orange Free State.
Steyn stood for the conservative or Boer
interests, and his election shows the
tide is flowing against British domina-
ton in this part of Africa. He is an
able jurist. good statesman and
strong man. The country over which
he will rule is an independent Dutch re-
public in South Africa. On the south
of it is Cape Colony, on the west Griqua
land, the Transvaal on the north and
Natal on the east. Its area is 1926

facts of which, says Parsons, are as
follows: Squire X is one of the
best known characters in that part of
the country. A few days ago he missed
two of his best sporting dogs, and his
general supposition was that they had
was surprised to see one of his pets
walk into the house, followed a min
ute later by the other, both wearing
the appearance of utter restitution.
Investigation revealed the following
facts: While out shooting a neighbor
came across IL broken bank on his es-
state, and two of his dogs showed un-
easiness at hole in the ground. Moth
ing he could do would induce the dogs
to leave the spot, and he finally Sc
cured a spade and began digging for
the cause of the trouble. Eight feet
of earth was dug away before the truth
was out. Then he discovered the two
dogs, evidently buried from their own
exertions in endeavoring to chase a
rabbit.
They had been there for 13 days and
were nearly famished. On their re-
turn to the squire's house they were
followed by the animals who had res
cued them, and prompt treatment
saved the lives of both.

Battle Won After Death.

The battle won by king after his
death was the victory achieved by peo-
pie of the Cid, in Spain. Three days
after the death of the Cid his capital
was attacked by the Moors in great
force. His people washed and dressed
the body, clad it in a suit of the finest
mill, tied it on horse and, surround
ing it by a brilliant cavalcade of officers
and attendants, went forth to battle.
The Moors were panic-stricken and fed
in dismay.
