TEACHERS, EXCURSION.
The Visitors Enjoy Trip to Flathcad
Lake.

The Visitors Enjoy Trip to Flathcad
Lake.
Saturday morning some thirty teach
ers started for an outing on the lake.
At $40 the lines were cast off and then
the merry making commenced IN earnest.
The orchestra, consisting of Messrs. Bow
en-, Goodrich, Force and Stott, opened
the program with few popular instru-
mental selections, and then followed
dancing, which was kept up until dinner
time almost without interruption.
Miss Margaret Pauline and Miss
Queenie Mcintosh were the masters of
ceremonies, and to these ladies is due
the credit of a pleasant days fun.
The weather became more disagree
able as the boat proceeded down the
river, and when near the entrance to the
lake the wind was blowing a perfect
gale, which fact, in the mind of Captain
Hodge, rendered it unsafe to proceed
any further, and he ordered the boat to
be tied up to the bank.
There was considerable dsappoint-
ment among the excursionists at first
but this was soon dispellcd when the
white caps came rolling into the river
from off the lake convincing them that
1.-The bosom of waters was not calm and
peaceful"
Fishing was good and in short time
1O0 fish IF varied variety wnro l.ndn
upon the deck.
Dinner was then announced and every
body had an excellent appetite. Tn.
repast, which had been gotten up under
the supervision of Mesdames Thwaite.
and Geddes, was an appetizing one, ant
their efforts were appreciated by tn,
company.
After dinner an attempt was made t,

longer, on the average, than the man
who vigorously denies to his system one
drop of alcohol. The man who signs the
temperance pledge in youth, before his
knowledge of the world can possibly per
NIT him to understand what he is doing,
is thereby shortening his own life, for it
has been unquestionably proven that
there are times when alcohol is required
as much as any other medicine. There
is even good reason for believing that
Prof. Atwater is partially, if not COM
pletely, right in his theory, and that al
cohol in small quantities, temporarily
used, is beneficial.
We can easily imagine the answer the
temperance people will make to this
latest onslaught. Alcohol, they will
argue, is used by naturalists to preserve
the dead bodies of insects, snakes, &c.
Consequently, persons who have put in
half century absorbing alaohol must
have their system stepped with the pre-
servative which, having shown it's use
fulness with dead bodies, may naturally
be expected to preserve live ones. Hence
users of alcohol live longer.
Statistics showing just the contrary
results have repeatedly been furnished,
and if the London Telegraph's table
really proves anything that may be re-
lied upon absolutely, it is that figures
can be made to talk in almost any way
desired.

Clear Track For NOffsinger.

From the Teton Chronicle: The ap-
pearance of w. N. Noffsinger, of Kal-
ispell, in attendance at the repub-
lican central committee meeting last Fri
day and the manner in which he was re-
ceived in the arms of party leaders, leads
to the belief that he has been assured
the republican nomination for judge of
this, the Eleventh district. B. j. McIn-
tire having announced that he is not a
candidate for the nomination, the road
seems clear for Mr. Noffsinger.

SObricty and llltenlperaMce.

We fancy that there is considerable
food for reflection to be found by tenn
perance advocates in statistics recently
compiled by the London Daily Tele-
graph, showing the ages attained by
users and non users of alcoholic drinks.
These figures have been obtained after a
careful study of numerous cases which
actually existed. There is, of course,
the suspicion that exceptional cases were
studied, but if a reputable authority is
able to discover that certain persons
who early in life were gifted with fairly
good health, and who having totally alb
stained from the use of alcoholic drinks,
finally died natural deaths at ages aver
aging ten years less than those men who
habitually used alcohol during life, the
inquiry, why remain sobcr?' is a nat
ural one.
Here are the statistics of the Daily
Talouranh.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-08-28

Assuming that these figures are cor
rect do not vouch for them, but the
Daily Telegraph does this is by all odds
the most important contribution to the
literature on alcohol since Prof. Atwa-
ter's celebrated demonstration that alco-
hol is an excellent food. Perhaps the
professor will find in this table salts
factory proof that his theory is correct;
for it will be remembered that he argued
only for casual indulgence in proportion
to the needs of the body and not for in
discriminate drinking. According to this
table of statistics, the man who drinks
wisely but not too well will live longest.
The man who is careless drinker, be-
coming intoxicated only at intervals, will
live almost as long as the temperate
drinker. Decidedly Incorporate persons
they of the red noses and the slouchy
hats and the genial disposition for sup
| porting lamp posts even they will live

queer Devices for U.e in Warfare.

New while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- yising ways in which to speedily an- nihilate the enemy. One ingenious in diyidual, an Englishman, suggests mist or fog ball with which to enyelop an antagonist in impenetrable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and ac1ds' which, on escaping, create a very dense fog, wrapping everything uear it in a haze until blown away by the wiEd! He argues that this would be a most efficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

HOUSE BUILT ON A LIE.
The Only Persons Likely to Come Out
 Ahead Are the Lawyers.

Ahead Are the Lawyers.
 On leading thoroughfare of the East End stands fine storehouse, with gables and corners and towers, says the Pittsburg News. It looks well from a distance. but as you approach 1t you notice that it is unfinished. Its arcEisee,ural beauty is marred by patches Of rough stone and brick and mortar showing out in the most notice able places. These spots were to have been covered by fancy" work of some sort had it not been for a forcible illustration of the truth of the old saw, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" The man who ordered the house to be built was fairly well-to- do. He wasn't wealthy, but he was earning comfortable living. He got letter one day from Germany in- forming him that he had fallen heir to $500,000 by the death of hitherto unknown person, to whom he was next of kin. The fortune was both unex- pected and unsolicited. A correspond enee was opened with the lawyer who sent the news and the papers and let ters received from him seemed to prove the claim of the Pittsburg heir. They put such a good face on the natter at any rate, that he was able to bor- TOW money on them. His first thought was of a palatfal home. into which he intended to put $100,000 of the money
 He began the building of it before he got the $500, ,O00 in his possession. IL is elaborate in design outside and magnificent inside. A bathroom was built in it that is work of art. It IS of marble, art tile and silyer-plated fxings. It is said to have cost $5,OO0. The mural decorations, or at least those that are finished, represent an expenditure of twice as much money. Everything inside was on the same ele- gant and ornate scale. The money to keep the work going, pending the set tlement of the German. estate, was raised on mortgages and on what might be called expectation notes,
 for they would not become payable, or rather, collectible, until the expecta- tions of the maker were realized. One of the men who had q mortgage be- came suspicious of the German for tune. There was an inquiry made and it was found that it existed solely on the paper furnished by the lawyer in Germany, who had been retained in the case and was receiving money for expenses incurred in prosecuting the claim of the heir. The work on the house was tied up Neither the exter- for nor the interior was finished. It stands that way to-day and the cost of it so far has been 5000 A lawyer. or an alleged lawyer, started the game
 and the only persons likely to come out ahead in it are the other lawyers who are now getting into 1t. The house, it is said, will remain in it's present condition until it gets through I eae courts. .. -. ..y ' s.z f.g ,. ...:.
