is the only thing that's sold here. If
you pay for tenderloin, you get tender
loin, and not shin meat. When we
say we sell tender meat, it is tender
meat, and it's not tangled knots of
muscles, hard to chew, and harder to
digest. Meat is eaten to give health
and strength. If there's no health in
the meat, you're worse off than if
you had eaten none.

The Board of Public Instruction
held its regular monthly meeting last
Monday. Only routine business was
transacted. The treasurer's report
shews that there is money enough in
the treasury to pay teachers in full to
date. But after this month teachers
must not expect to fare so well, owing
TO the unfortunate circumstances that
have befallen our county. We can
not hope for repletion of the treas
ury before the middle of next sum-
mer. So teachers should husband
their present pay with great care.

SOLDIERS HOME

SOLDIERS HOME, Dec. 22.-At the
election of Commodore Hopkins Associ-
alton of Naval Veterans of the home the
following officers were chosen: Com
mander, James r. Kelley; lieutenant
commander, Timothy Sullivan; lieuten-
ant, Thomas Rodgers; ensign, John Sui
VIM. Decker; chaplain, s. A. McCurdy;
secretary, John Laverty.
Today takes place the auction at the
home, first, of eleven fat COWS and a
eight months bull calf, of woollen and
cotton rugs, of large collection of hang
ing and standing lamps, old iron. etc.,
and of the effects of deceased members,
clothing, watches, etc.
On the 10th the quarterly pensions
were paid to the old boys, and as con-
sequence there has been a high old time
at the home; but in consequence of the
policy of our present governor in en-
couraging the boys to spend their money
at the home canteen, there has been less
trouble and disaster than usually oc-
ours on these occasions. The only dis
aster that has been heard of as yet was
the death Of John Adams in Santa Mon
ica, which was at first attributed to vio-
lence, but which on inquiry and on the
verdict of the coroner's jury was caused
by an attack of apoplexy.
To add to the volume of money in the
hands of the old boys the extra duty pay
for extra duty men and civilian en-
ployes was paid them on the goth, rather
late but not less welcome.
The governor is adding to the attrac-
tion of the canteen beer garden, where
the old boys can sit and enjoy their beer.
A fence has been planted around the
grove of trees on the outside of the can
teen, and it is contemplated to adorn the
spot with fountain and rural seats. so
that the members who must spend their
stipends can do so at home and not leave
for the low doggeries in the neighbor-
hood

Terrible Volcanic Eruption

Mount Popocatapetl in Mexico, vol

has broken out again with ten-fold vio-

advices from the City of Mexico but pri-
