Settle Boundary Question.

London, July 25.-The Times this
morning, commenting editorially upon
Saturdays debate in the Canadian par
lament on the Alaskan boundary matter.
says:
SIR Charles Tupper expressed himself
with unnecessary energy, but, looking to
the present position Of the Alaskan nego-
tiations we hope we may disregard his
oratorical fireworks. Sir Wilfred Laur-
ler's tone was studious, concilatory and
moderate and as no concessions will be
made in Alaska without Canada's knowl-
edge and consent, there is no room at
present for the pessimistic views of i'm
patient politicians in Washington and Of
taWa. Judging from the utterances of
Sir Wlf1ed we see no reason for gloom or
recrimlnation on either side. 1t will be
more dignified for the two nations to set
tie their differences without reference to
third parties, but it is altogether incred-
ible that the United States should be un-
willing to consent to arbitration when
other methods have proved Intellectual
Their attitude at The Hague and in the
Venezuelan affair makes it impossible
for them to refuse to arbitrate dispute
involving no question of national honor"
The Daily Chronicle severely reproves
Sir Charles Tupper for his bellgerent tone
and says: 1T is easy and obvious to say
that war over such an issue is not to be
thought Of, but the situation has, never
theless, its serious elements of danger.
We hope sincerely that the Canadians
will not make the negotiations worse by
being impracticable. America has some
justification in her demands anent Skag-
way and Dyea."
The Daily News admits that both Can
ada and the United States have good
cases and says: 1T is an intolerable sit
uation and one which the Americans, as
a friendly nation, should be prepared to
deal with in spirit of give and take. We
have a right to expect from them full re-
cognition of the imperous needs of
great maritime state which finds it's ac-
cess 20 it's own coast threatened by
foreign claim"

Gen. Miles considered him the ablest
Indian fighter in the army, and
when an officer was wanted capable
of running down Geronimo and his
desperate Apache band Gen. Law

For fifty two days and nights this
heroic soldier, scarcely sleeping pur-
sued the stealthy savage until peace
was restored throughout the Gads-
den purchase. His daring was pro-
verbal and in countless battles his
escape seemed miraculous. He
wore a white helmet and a yellow
raincoat and was most conspicu-

no purpose, but he has paid the cost
of his own intrepidity. And not he

TWO MEAN TOWNS.
The Stories That the Travelling Men
Told About Them.

The Stories That the Travelling Men
Told About Them.
They were talking about bad towns
1.-THE meanest place / ever was in,"
said the man who travels for Chicago
house, sis down In Massachusetts,. Say,
do you know what happened while
was stopping there once? A man had
fallen through hole In a sidewalk and
sustained injuries that resulted in the
loss of his right arm. He sued the city
for damages, and the case was tried
before jury, which, the papers said,
was composed of representative citi-
zens. Well, what do you suppose they
did to him? Brought in verdict in
favor Of the city, holding that inas-
much as he was left handed his injury
didn't amount to anything"
YES" the cigar man said, that's a
pretty mean town, admit, but know
of worse one. This place is in Penn
sylvania. An acquaintance of mine
down there was injured some time ago
In pretty much the same way the man
you mentioned got hurt. He fell on a
bad sidewalk and lost one Of his legs
He sued the city, and didn't get any
thing. I never heard just why, but
probably because the jurors didn't be-
lieve he needed more than one leg in
his business, seeing that he was a bar
Der and couldn't hone a razor or shave
man with his foot anyway. But
wait, l haven't come to the point at
which the real meanness developed.
Being poor man, he couldn't afford to
buy cork leg, so he had to get along
with a wooden peg, and one day while
he was crossing the principal street
this peg in some way got wedged be-
tween a couple Of paving stones right
In the middle of the street car track.
1t took them nearly an hour to get him
loose, and what do you suppose hap
pened then? Blamed IL they didn't go
and fine him $40 and costs for obstruct-
ing trafficr'-ChicagO Times Herald

CHRISTMAS DUTY.

The following anonymous note
was left on the editors table this
week, and as it seems TO proclaim
the doctrine of the Prince of Peace
we gladly give it space. Whoever
wrote it, certainly has a great heart
and believes in the universal broth
erhood of man. Will our readers
spend this Christmas as the day
should be spent?
'tBefore the next issue of the
HERALD Christmas will have come
and gone. With the mention of
Christmas come thoughts of Him
who brought peace and good will to
the hearts of men. The HERALD
wishes all merry Christmas and a
happy New Year, and trusts that all
may spend the yuletide in unalloyed
happiness.
'But while you sit around your
tables, laden with such gifts as St.
Nicholas is able to furnish, remem-
ber there are others to whom the
good Saint has not been so favora-
BILE. How pleasant it will be, while
you are indulging the cravings of
appetite in the Christmas feast, to
think that you have helped some one
less fortunate, and by your act of
benevolence, contributed to the
cheer and good feeling of less for
tunate brother.
"Many a poor family will spend a
sad and doleful Christmas. And if
through an act of kindness one can
alleviate their sorrows, the little sac
rlfce would be we'll repaid. Let us
hope that every reader will do what
he can 10 make Christmas bright
and enjoyable for all, for to many
this may be the last"

HELP THE SCHOOLS.

The HERALD publishes this week
an appeal from the school board to
the citizens of Neihart for help to
continue the schools to the end of
the fiscal year. This is an admiss-
ion of that body of a most deplora-
BILE state wherein the members are
powerless to relieve the situation.
Understanding the subject in this
light it behooves every taxpayer, ev-
cry parent, every producer, every
lover of our priceless liberty to think
seriously on this question, and at
tend the meeting to be held next
Friday evening as elsewhere an
nounced. The cost of running the
schools for month is as follows:
For Tuition. ......... $3.50 90
janitor. ................ 70 90
Iuei. ....... -. o. oo
This will amount for the four
months shortage to $123O. On the
first of February 1900 there will be
but 5000 in the district treasury,
and in order to continue the schools
until the end of the year there must
be raised $1,U30. There is no
doubt that some of the money will
be raised, and it is probable that all
of it can be reached.
However, let every lover of edu-
cational institutions, every lover of
enlightenment, whether taxpayer,
whether parent, or classed with the
great generality of citizens whose in
ter ests are for the public veal at
tend this meeting. And let him 60
with his heart open.
1t makes no difference who is on
the school board; it makes no differ
ence who is teaching, or who is jan
itor. The present situation is a
crisis, and as such it must be met.
Personal differences can have no
bearing on the destiny of so great a
question.

A BULKY RECEIPT,
The Bank DepOsitor Had Something
to Show For His Money

n
to Show For His Money.
A man with German accent and a
fierce red mustache walked into one of
the banks the other day and announc-
ed that he wanted to open an account.
He was directed to the proper official
and from well worn belt extracted
$500. This sum he handed through the
window
The bank official showed the big sig
nature book toward the depositor for
his signature. Just then the officials
attention was attracted In another di-
rection. When, a second later, he turn
ed around, the man with the red mus
tache was coolly walking toward the
door with the book, which contained
the signatures of all the depositors In
the bank, tucked under his arm
The assistant cashier yelled:
Hold on, there!'
But the Teuton pursued his even
course toward the street.
The official rushed from behind his
counter and caught the new depositor
just as he reached the door.
nat are you uOlng with that
book" demanded the bank official an
grily, laying hold of the precious vol
ume.
"Why, 1 thought that was the receipt
for my $500"' answered the German,
completely bewildered.
In the same bank a well dressed wo-
man called to deposit $500.
The assistant cashier pushed the sig
nature book toward her, after receiv-
ing the deposit.
Sign your name there" said the OFF,
cial, indicating the proper place.
The woman took up the pen and
made show of writing, but the steel
point never touched the paper. After
few more fancy flourishes in the air
the woman handed back the pen, say
ing:
Last summer | used to write my
name all right, but for some reason /
can't do it now"
The bank official directed her to
make an "X" In the book.-Chicago
