Carlyle's Estimate.

An artist who frequented Carlyles
house painted picture of him in
his dressing gown, smoking a pipe
by the fireside, and Mrs. Carlyle in
an armchair sitting opposite him.
The picture was hung at one of the
Royal academy's exhibitions, and,
though not striking work of art,
was purchased by Lord Ashburton,
Carlyle's friend, for $500. The de-
lighted artist hurried off to the Car
lyles, expecting congratulations on
the sale and some manifestation of
pleasure Oh their part at having such
value set on picture of them
selves and their domestic interior.
He delivered his glad tidings, but
all the response he received from
Carlyle was, "Well, in my opinion,
$500 was just e495 too much San

The reports of the liquor agents

business the past wear and in several
quiet little villages the amount of
liquor handled seems quite dispro-
portlonate to their size. The sales
at St. Johnsbury netted profit Of
something like one thousand dollars,
but it is explained that several near
by towns have abolished the agency
system and thirsty pilgrims there
fore seek Caledonia's great oasis for
relief. The Wallingford agency
sold the past year liquor to the

Thai Canada Has Lodged a Complaint With inc Mother Country.

London, June 19.-Offfcials of the colonial office were shown a dispatch from Washington saying that Can ada had served notice on Great Brit ain that she must choose between the United States and her North American dominion in the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute. They de- clared that the story is wrong both in substance and fact, ard that it can be further reaf1rmed that a modus vivendi was reached early last week as cabled to the Associated Press at the time
 The arrangement, which is a verbal one, deals with the question on broad lines. One or two minor details are still under discussion and when they are settled a final ee-rangament will be entered into. It may be further said that the boundary agreed upon follows the summits of the White and Chilkoot passes.
