was attacked by two men who
straight way grabbed him and
presented a loaded revolver in his

them he had nothing but pipe
anda jack knife, but not being
satisfied at that one he'd him
while the other went through his

it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not

is poor; there is little nutri-

men to take charge Of animals, partly
due, it is said, to their objection to Sun
day work. Employers of labor have
complained for many years of the diff
Guilty of keeping the younger and more
efficient men on the land, but never has
the complaint been so general as at the
present time. The calling out of the re-
serves and the MALTA toward the end of
1899 and in 1900 has accumulated the scare
ity in many districts. The wages of men
in charge Of animals are considered sep-
arately from those of ordinary agricultur-
al labOrers. Such men have greater re-
spoEsibilties and work longer hours than
ordinary farm hands. They also have
work. and are liable to be called
up at any time when their animals are
i'll. They are, therefore, paid somewhat
more highly than their fellows, and their
term of engagement is generally longer.

here. 1t is not expected that the rev.

collected will even approximate the
expenses, but the station is considered
none the less important on that &C
count. And that the Department In.
tends to provide the county with the

fact that the Office at Roche Harbor

The people of Friday HnrbOr and the
county generally owe much to Colonel

The returns of agricultural wages for
series of years show that during the last
half century they have been steadily ris-
ing. On the basis of a number of returns
from farmers and others whose families
have occupied farm for long period of
time, and who have also kept and pre-
served accurate account books, it appears
the weekly cash wages of ordinary agri-
cultural laborers were 48 per cent higher
in 1899 than in 1890. The information as
to the rates of wages paid during the last
five years is Of much more complete
and detailed character than for earlier
wears. From 1895 to 1900 there has been q
