@. G. Bestor. Wa-keeney. Kansas.
DEAR SIR: The fire which occurred
in an adjoining building Friday night,
last damaged but very small proper
tion of our stock by water and
smoke. We have insisted from the
first that such stock must be taken by
the Insurance Companies as under no
conditions would we distribute same
to our trade, that we could better by
far dump the entire lot into Lake
Michigan without remuneration than
supply our friends and customers with
damaged Tea or Coffee.
We have to-day settled with the in
surance adjusters on this basis, and we
now positively state to you that we do
not own an ounce of damaged Tea or
Coffee, and as our outfit and machin-
cry were not destroyed in the slightest.
we are in as perfect a condition as
ever before to fill your orders,
Knowing that you will join with us in
congratulations that we have escaped
serious loss and disturbance to our bus
mess, we remain
Very sincerely yours,

welfare of the city at heart and,
if elected, will endeavor to render as
good service in the future as in the
past-which cannot be questioned.
When the present officers took their
seats, the city had bonded indebt-
edness of S1,5O0 accrued during the
city's boom days. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the depreciation of property and
very hard times we have been having
for several years, these present officers
have managed to save for the city
500 which is now in the city treas
urer's hands to be paid upon these
bonds shortly, after which the debt
upon the city will only be $500. Be-
sides having paid nearly half the
city's debt these officers have pur-
chased a half block east of and ad-
joining the cemetery, which is being
laid in lots with very convenient
walks and drive ways; it will also be
very nicely fenced and decorated with
shade trees.

The Vermont legislature has passed
bill permitting sportsmen to legally
kill deer in that state. And as re-
suit we see that one young man has
availed himself of this privilege by
shooting his sweet heart. But the
law, when interpreted to him was
found to mean ''deer'' of the animal
kingdom, and not as he supposed
''dear."
AS the days begin to get warmer,

A white man was fishing on "A nearby
reef, and hearing the shouts came TO the
rescue. He tore the earth and matted roots
away, and quickly saw that the owner of
the burrow, IL palm crab had resented the
intrusion of II hand and had crushed the
bones with its grip. A sheath knife
plunged through the pendulous tail caused
the crab to loosen its hold The curious
man did not recover the use of his hand.
The palm crab, which is known as the
robber crab also, is one of the most power
ful OF the crab family, and is credited with
all sorts of feats of strength and some feats
of agility. Its tail is short, somewhat like

matuans, Society islanders and Tongauans.
The robber crabs are great fighters.
When one of their kind enters the burrow
of another, the intrusion results in nip
and grip contest, in which legs are crushed
and other damage done. The great
strength of the nppers is due to their con
slant use in shearing open the cocoanut
shells to get the pulp on which the crabs
feed. When crab is confined in a tin
