Tangled In An Endless Chain.

Il suppose We all get caught at times.' remarked a we'll known busi- ness man yesterday, but have had an experience that was particularly mor- tfyiug to one who has been in business for forty years.
 ''I received some time agoa letter from party living in little town in the West who wanted a small bill of goods.
 "Not finding his name in either Dun $ or Bradstreet's wrote the postmaster for the mans standing. 1 received a very tlattering letter in return, saying that the party inquired about was one of the towns solid citizens and good for any amount.
 This allayed any suspicion that 1 had and forwarded the goods ordered.
 '' sent three bills before I received an answer and then it was not satisfac- tory. allowed the matter to run for some time. and, at last, getting saucy reply to letter of mine asking for d settlement, lost my temper and wrote the postmaster letter, telling him to hand the matter over to the leading at torney in town for the collection, no matter what the cost would be-
 '!t wasn't long before I received an answer from the postmaster saying he had followed my instructions and hand ed the matter to an attorney who had succeeded in collecting the amount, but at considerable expense. in fact the attorney had bill against me fer $25 more than he had collected and that he (the postmaster had paid it and would look to me for the amount.
 ''Here was a situation. I hadn't in- structed the postmaster as my cashier. but, thinking that that was the Vest ern way of it and not caring to have the fool postmaster lose the amount sent him check, and thought the matter closed
 But the other day cian. .d to meet il party who formerly lived in the town. and l asked him if he knew the part who had beaten me out of bill of goods. He said he did. He was d general uttiliv man for the whole neighborhood Ran d general store, kept the postolfice, and. when he could get nothing else to do, took what business he could get as a lawyer He added that he appeared to be making money, but, it was mystery to every one how he managed it.

local legislature looking to the protcc- tion of the placer mines of the province for the benefit of British subjects. As one interested very largely in the rail- road. the business of which will be materially decreased if the influx of Hawkins has of course strong opinions as to the inadvisability of the proposed measures; but he has also other reasons for his propositions thereto, which may be briefly summed up by the statement that they are based on what he believes to be good policy and upon the advisa- bility of British Columbians attempting fo strengthen rather than to strain the good relations now existing between them and the citizens of the United States. Ar. Hawkins points out that a great deal of the prospecting done, not only in the Atlin country but in other placer mining districts, has been done by citizens of the United States and they have assisted materially in dcvel- oping that industry in British Colum- ba It seems to him then, to savor somewhat of injustice to prohibit the people of the States from reaping d benefit from the work they have done.
 "Mr. Hawkins strongly urges the re- consideration of the step, as being cal culatcd to result in wiser methods be ing adopted. and rests his case as much upon the belief that the exclusion of al- iens will materially retard the devel- opement of the resources of the pro vince as npon the belief that the gov ernment' : measure will result in strain ing the relations of the two peoples.
 ]" Another strong objection to the meas urc was Legistered by Mr. T. J. Wat son. of Seattle, one of the pioneers of the Atlin district and interested with Mir. Norman Rant in the townsite there. Mr. Watson's strong argument against the adoption of legislation to exclude American citizens is based up- on what appears to him the self inter- ests of British Columbians. He says that outttting orders amounting to many thousands of dollars placed with merchants of Vancouver and Victoria have already been cancelled, and the adoption of the bill will result in untold loss upon those who would otherwise do an enormous trade this year.
 "Wh hen told by a reporter that the general impression here seemed to be rather seemed to be rather in favor of the slow and satisfactory development of the Atlin country, Mr. Watson seem- ed surprised, holding the opinion that depended largely upon the encourage ment of large numbers of men to en- gage in it's exploration rather than in it's opportunities for a few.
 "Mr. Watson has been requested by many of the leading people of Seattle to visit Victoria and do what he could to prevail upon the government to with draw th9 measure. He says the feel ing in Seattle is very strong and al- most panic has been created by the proposition to debar the people of the United States from obtaining their share of the results of their assistance in their discovery of the mineral wealth of the country and of their work in it's developement.

How Dogs Are Trained.

Although 1t rs by ~ means an ur

that few people know how such animals
can be taught such difficult feat.
Ask friend how he thinks dog can
be initiated into the mysterie. Of somer-
sault throwing and you will receive some
very curious suggestions.
As there is more than one way of cook
ing a goose, 30 there is more than one
method OF teaching a dog TO throw
somersaults. But the most practical
and thorough manner is to fasten cord
around the body of the anImal-close to
the forelegs-and two people should
hold the ends of the cord on either side

At each stroke of the rope, the dog
springs backward, and that movement
Is the trainers golden opportunity. As
the dog springs backward, the rope pass

and although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault is ac-

dog soon s,ckens of this order OF things,
