of Longwood, a suburb of Chicago, have
established a cooperative restaurant.
A cook, two dining room girls, a dish
washer and a second cook are employed,
and two of the women members take
charge of the affairs for each day.
The scheme Is perfectly delightful"
says one of the women members. Here
tofore I used to have to work all the
time; now when it's meal time I simply
put or the children's wraps and in less
than five minutes we are sitting down to
a nice warm NEAL, with everything In

in summer, and, I tell you, frankly, it Is
just the best thing hat eve happened"
The male members are quite as enthus-
iastic as the women.

New York Tribune: The theory that
Mr.. Kruger is visiting Europe to seek a

now be laid aside. The Boer leaders
own words dismiss it. There is in his

accent of compromise or of Cancellation.

For. as our London correspondent re-

IT I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.

If I should die tonight
And you should come to my cold corpse
and say,
Weeping and heart-sick DER my lifeless
clay
If I should die tonight,
And you should come in deepest grief
and woe
And say, Here's that ten dollar that
owe,
I might arise in my large, white
cravat,
And say, whats that?"
If I hould die tonight
And you hou come to my cold
corpse and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief you
feel,
I say, if I should die tonight
And you shout come to me and there
and then,
just hint bout payin' me that ten,
I might arise the while, 81
But I'd drop dead again.

Justice Brown, of the supreme court OF
the United States, evidently has a fel-
low feeling for the wooers of My Lady
Nicotine. In passing upon a ease in
which the validity of the anti-cigarette
law was involved, he took occasion to
remark, recently, that tobacco had, in
many respects, proved a blessing to
mankind, cheered many solitary hours,
and been a solace in time of sorrow and
distress.

provide ecclesiastical penalties, but OF
a radical departure from existing laws.
The Episcopal church undoubtedly ex-
through it's immense social influence. The
refusal to countenance divorced persons
strongly deterrent effect.
The step proposed is interesting and
important from many points Of view. 1t
shows. first. that the evil of divorce has
reached such magnitude as to emand
special consideration. The new canons
will. Of course, be far from effectual as
regards society at large, but they will
erect barriers that, from one cause or
another. will prevent many from appeal
ing to the courts except when grave
cause exists.
Judging from the expressions that have
been called forth, the decision of the
committee of the Episcopal church is
likely to be followed, in spirit at least,
by other Protestant denominations.
The real solution of the trouble, of
course, lies deeper than all that. The
moral sense of the people must be arous-
ed. This does not imply that the ration
al view of the matter is to be aban-
doned, or that a man or woman having
just cause for separation should be de-
based by being forced to continue the re-

mental torture. 1t does imply, however
that a determined effort is to he made tt

from the best talent of the land.
Nothing is too good or too high
priced for Devils Lake Chautau-
qua. There is a very fine beach
at this place and many are build
ing summer cottages. Farmers
are buying lots and building these
Improvements so that each year
they and their families can find
rest and enjoyment. And here is
seen the public spirit and enter
prise Of Captain Herman. He is
the most liberal giver to the Chau-
tauqua Of any one. The captain
is an old Mississippi river captain,
having piled that river for years
before he came here, and it is re-
ported on good authority that he
is the wealthiest man in the state.
He still pilots his boats daily, and
while he was at the wheel we had
the pleasure of an interesting ac-
count of the early settlements of
this country. We gathered from
him why this body of water, which
is 81 miles long and IL miles wide
and of such beauty should have
such q name. The Indian name
for this lake is Minnie Waukan,"
meaning mysterious waters. The
Indians had good cause for the
name. aThe atmosphere in these
parts is such that beautiful
"Mirages" are often seen on it's
bosom. Great immense rocks
which appear to rise to it's center
and again crafts, piloted and lights
burning are seen to silently glide
over its waters. All kinds of fan
tastic pictures are seen at different
times when the atmosphere is in
the proper condition and this is
why Indians expressed themselves
by calling it the mysterious
waters" The white man came
along and called it bad waters and
from that to Devils Lake. Across
from the lake is the old celebrated
Fort Totten, named in honor of
Colonel Totten, who erected it
many years since, and defended it
against the Indians. Afterwards
} it became an army post, but in
1889 it was abandoned as mill
tary post and the barracks were
made into an industrial school for
the Indians of this reservation,
which number about 1900. They
are all Sioux, and part of the bands
under the control of Sitting Bull
, years ago. Their chief now is
: Little Fish, a respected old man.
The government agent is Major
/. 0. H. Getchell, who also has
charge of the Turtle Mountain re-
, servation. The industrial school
is an entirely separate affair from
the agency and is under the super
t intendency Of Mr.. w. F. Garfield,
who has been so successful that he
has held this important position
for over ten years. He is a man Of
intelligence and very courteous to

rs Mrs. Twist. An appropriation
has been made for a new power
house, and soon lighting and heat
ing plants will be added to the
water works, which is now in
operation. The school has about
800 students in the regular work,
q few more than half are boys.
There are all kinds of trades
taught as we'll as school work pro-
per. Everything seems to be very
neat and we'll managed. The
children seem intelligent, although
not doing as good work as Ameri-
can children of the same age.
Part of the agency has been al
lotted to the Indians in 16O acre
lots, and this land cannot be sold,
mortgaged or disposed of in any
manner by the Indian owners for
twenty-five years from the date of
their patents, but the agency is
very large and after the allotments
were made many thousand acres
were left over and above what
share the Indians had. These
extra lands the government has
concluded to throw open to settle
ment, and as soon as commission
ers can make satisfactory terms
with the Indians for them they
will be thrown open. Some of the
land is very good, others not SO
much so, but 30 close to Devils
Lake that it will be valuable, al
though the Indians have had the
pick of it. E. CHAvANNEs.

short distance from the old bar
racks is the branch of the school
that is taught by the Sisters.
There are sixteen Catholic sisters,
who are all under civil service
rules, the same as all others con-
n ected with the school, but the
government permits these sisters
to have all the children under their
control until they are II years old,
when they are transferred to the
barracks. The Catholics by their
tact, kindness and care for the
Indians and also by reason of their
giving them entertainments and
feasts at different times, have won
their respect, and consequently
most of them are Catholics. The

EurOpe's City of Crime,

The Italian city of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome, is known as
the City of Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done his time
has e1nigrated to Artena and today
practically every inhabitant is a crimi-
nal or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into it's own
hands, and it is reported not a day
passes without many murders being
committed in the streets. The Italian
authorities have now come to look up
on Artena as hopeless and remark that
it is far better that criminals should
kill criminals than that innocent per-
sons should be their victims. 1t is said
that on one occasion when % murders
had been committed in that city in one
day the fact was reported in one Of the
Italian papers in the following terms:
"Since our last issue GA hours before)
there have been % sudden deaths in
Artena." and no further notice of the
murders was taken or expected.

A Clever Blind Man.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
tells of blind man in southern city
who goes to the postoffice every day
carrying small, light riding whip,
which he holds slightly inclined to the
front. with the tip just touching the
pavement. His sense of touch has be-
come so delicate that the whip is al
most an artificial eye. When the point
encounters anything. he makes a few
swift passes over the surface and gen
orally determines the exact character
of the obstacle. 1t is done so quickly
and deftly as to attract no attention
and few passers have the least suspi-
cion Of the old mans infrmity. When
he reaches the postofice. he turns un-
hestatfngly mounts the middle stairs,
walks over to the lock boxes and with
out any feeling around thrusts key
into the right aperture.

WHEN DOGS ARE SICK.
The Way to Give Medicine to These
Highly Sensitive Patients.

Highly Sensitive Patients.
In all treatment of a sick dog re-
member you are dealing with highly
sensitive and nervous patient. Be very
gentle, avoid roughness or anything
likely to alarm him. In giving him any
liquid medicine do not open his mouth,
but, placing him between your knees,
with his face looking in the same direc-
ton as your own, gently raise his jaw
and, pulling his lips away from his
teeth on one side of his mouth, to form
q cup or funnel, very slowly pour from
bottle or spoon the quantity he is to
have into it.
Keep his head raised for minute or
two and If he does not swallow the
dose insert a spoon between his front
teeth. This will have the effect OF
drawing off his attention from the
medicine and he will usually swallow
at once. If the dose is pill, bolus or
anything solid, hold his head the same
way as before mentioned, but with the
left hand under lower jaw, press firmly
on each side with thumb and finger at
the junction of upper and lower jaws.
This will usually cause him to open
his mouth, when the dose should be
put into the mouth as far back as
possible over the tongue (or he will spit
it OUT and close the jaws somewhat
sharply, and in most cases the deed is
done. If any trouble arises with the
action of his front paws this may be
got over by wrapping him round with
a shawl OR coarse apron.
