ESSAY on TIE COLI.

The COW, writes schoolboy, is an
animal with four legs on the under
side. Tie tail is longer than the legs,
but is not used to stand on. The COW
kills flies with her tail. A COW has big
ears that wiggles on hinges; SO does
her tail. The COW is bigger than the
calf, but not so big as the elephant.
She is made so small that she can go
into the barn when nobody is looking.
Some COWS are black and some hook.
A dog was hooked once. She tossed
the dog that worried the cat that kill.
ed the rat. Black COWS give white
milk; so do other COWS. Miikmen sell
milk to buy their wives dresses, which
they put water III and chalk. Cows
chew cuds, and each finds its own
| chew. That's all there is about cows.

There was one Hambleton, a good
bass singer in his time, who lived to
a great age, and iatterly played old
men in provincial theatres. One day,
when travelling GU top of stage
coach, it was overturned, and he
rolled down a steep bauk into ditch
below. His fellow travellers, who had

THE CITY LIQUOR LICENSE.

City Attorney wilkinson Explains a Pro.
posed Amendment to the CITY Charter.
Editor News:-Some dissatisfaction has
arisen because OF bill recently intro.
duced in the legislature by our represent.
alive for the purpose of amending the
charter of the city of Dawson 1t is al.
legged that the town will be empowered
to tax the dispensary at an excessive
rate and thus appropriate the so per cent
of the profit which now goes into the
county treasury. This view is incorrect.
The people are justly jealous of their
rights, but there is no infringement here.
and none is anticipated by the MAYOR
and aldermen of Dawson. The bill is
entitled San act to amend the charter
of the city of Dawson, so as to empower
the mayor and alderman to fix the rate
and amount of license for the sale of in
tOxicating liquors; said rate and amount
not to exceed IS, 700 and not to be less
than So, 000," etc., and to obviate anv
misunderstanding as to this very cues
ton in case it should arise the following
proviso was attached: "Proyided. that
said amendment shall not empower the
mayor and aldermen to tax or in any
manner interfere with or apply to the
present dispensary as established by acts
of 1897, page 562,"
There is no scheme in this amendment,
1t is supposed that the people of Daw.
son are satisfied with what thew get
from the Dispensary, and are willing
that the county continue to receive 80
per cent OF the profits of that institution.
as it now does.
The object of the amendment is sim
ply to prohibit the sale of whiskey with.
in the corporate limits of Dawson as
near as possible by means of high
license, in case the dispensary-law should
ever be repealed and the old regeme be
| re-established. The people of Dawson
have the right, unquestionably, to regu.
late the sale of whiskey within the city
| limits, and hence come forward now in
exercise of this right and fix their fun
damental law-the charter so that a
promiscuous sale of whiskey in Dawson
will be an impOssibilty under any sub
sequent legislation so long as the charter
remains as fixed by the amendment now
before the legislature. This cannot
affect the county or dispensary in any
manner, but is wholly of local applica-
| ton, looking to the future interest of
Dawson, and can be effective only in
case the dispensary is abolished.

Speaking of the neglect or rather the
incompetency that is apparent, in parts
Of the army, General Richards is Of
the opinion that other conditions could
not well be expected under the cir
cumstances Here is an army that
was made up of volunteers from all
over the country, and in the selection
of the officers for all branches Of the
service there would OF course be many
who would be placed in positions that
they would be unable to fill.
He is still of the opinion that he ex-
pressed long ago, about the future OF
the National Guard of the country.
that the United States should establish
a staff of officers who would be con-
stantly employed in preparations of
war. even In the times of peace. The
staff should besiarge enough, 80 that
when a war was declared an adjutant.
a line officer, quartermaster, and an
assistant surgeon could be assigned to
every volunteer regiment that was
raised, and thus balance the regiment,
and insure competency.
In the preparations for war in the
time of peace, he would have the Off
GERS in close touch with the transpor-
tatiOn companies of the country. He
would have the country from one end
to another, in fact the whole Amer
lea, so well looked over that the camps
everywhere would be laid out In case
they were needed. The officers could
have all the plans for reaching the
camps arranged. and every detail such
as the water supply, that of the trans
portation of the supplies. and in fact
everything all arranged so that should
an army be raised, the plans would be
ready before the call was made, nc
matter how soon it came.
With these plans and those regarding
the National Guard. General Richard.
thinks the country would be ever ready

to some place in the North, as the
letters he receives from that place, all
tend in the same direction. A tele-
gram received late in the week, said
that those under the surgeons care
are about $50. while Of course there are
others who are not well. and are con-
stantly breathing the germs Of malaria
and typhoid fever
A letter from Chaplain Cummings,
dated Friday. paints picture that is
hard to realize, when the men here in
the North are SO healthy. Mr.. Cum
mings spoke Of the officers who are
sick, and told Of each personally
Some are better, some are worse, while
others are about the same. The train
that will bring many to the North. will
probably save many from what seemed
certain death.

weep for the men who reported at sick
call, that morning. Haggard. trampish
looking men who were in the prime OF

are standing guard whose temperature
is 1902. Col. Morton thinks the regi-
ment is in as dangerous condition as
those at Santiago. only that the mer

ness so fast as there.
Many of the people of Maine think
there was some great lack of care
when the Maine officers were asking
that the regiment be moved into the
sun, that it was not done before. a:
there IS where all the germs 81 disease
originated. There in NH EhAae of tho

that arose from the ground that is evel

But of course wondering why the regi.
ment was not moved to the sunlight
before, will not drive sickness from tht
ranks, now that it is there. and tho
only thing that will do it is to move
it where there is change of air, pure
water to battle in, and to drink.
1T does not matter much where they
