No, 3 waa set for hearing at the next
meeting.
! The board met about 2 o'clock,
though they had been called to meet
at 130. The bid of this paper on
the county printing evidently dis
turbed their plans a bit, but Chair
man Aanerud of the printing COM
mittee finally fshed into his pocket
and produced typewriter resolution
designating the Republican Times
as the official paper of the county as,
to all matters except the delinquent
tax list. Then he forgot what he was
to say and had to be prompted by
Chairman Smith, who reminded the
commissioner that he introduced the
resolution and moved its adoption.
Mr.. Aanerud said Eyes" and sank
back in his chair from sheer exhaus-
ton after this supreme mental exer-
ton, Every thing went as smoothly
as could be expected thereafter. The
resolution was seconded and carried
unanimously except for Mr.. Young
berg who didn't see the use Of the
county paying so per cent. when it
could get the same work for Is per
cent, or in other words paying $3.50
when there was need of paying
only $75.
Then, in as much as the law pro-
vides that the delinquent tax list
shall be let to the lowest bidder,
while all other printing is at the dis
cretion of the board. a resolution was
duly carried designating The TRIBUNE
as the paper in which to publish the
tax list. The board then adjourned
till morning to give the papers an
opportunity to file their bonds for
approval.
The petition to change the location
of the Morris and Fort Wadsworth
road was put over to next meeting.

Wine from Apples.

Science has lately made it possible to
obtain good wine for the table, which
has always been devoted to sparkling
cider, says an exchange. Experts have
been deceived in sherry, madeira and
sauterne, which came from apple juice
instead Of grapes. Juice from the ap-
PIE is fermented with years of differ
ent kinds brought from the grape
growing districts of Europe to this
country. For instance the flavor OF
sherry is not due to the grape, but to
the infnitesimal fungus germs that
cause its fermentation. The American
companies import these germs from
the district in Spain where they -four
ism, inoculate the apple Juice and OBJ
tain a fine wine. These yeasts are OBJ
tanned from the sediment in the vats
Of Europe. They are easily propaglted
and the only difficulty is to separate
the different kinds. AS the quality of
the wine depends on these fungi, wine
makers have usually left to chance the
kind Of wine tAey produce, depending
on the organ s.;s which float in the air
and attach taeIseivcs TO the grapes.
The yeasts are sold bottled ana are
much in demand.

ORIGIN OF HOW

Plains.
They were all sitting around a table
in the Gibson House cafe. Farny and
a few other congenial spirits. Some
one ordered a drink, and when it came
and every one was about to raise his
glass Farny said: "How?" 1t is an
expression that is heard in a cafe hun
dreds of times a day, and yet few peo-
pie know its origin. Seated in the
crowd at the table in the Gibson House
was an army officer, and someone said
where in the world did this express
sion how come from?" Then the
army officer laughed and said: Draw
close, my children, and | will tell you"
And he did. How is an expression
used by every man when he drinks, but
1t had its beginning in a joke. Years
ago, when the army was engaged in
driving the red man out farther and
farther toward the setting sun, the
officers had many experiences with the
Indians. Many pow-wows and meet
ings were held, and at those assembled
many Indians who could speak but q
few words of English. Army officers
are proverbially hospitable, and at
these pow-wows they always produced
a bottle and asked the chiefs to drink
III those days the officers said to the
chiefs: Il drink to your good health. :"
The chiefs, who knew but few words
of English, always replied How" The
thing started as a joke, but every army
officer fell into the habit of saying
How" and now it is recognized as the
proper thing to say when drinking,
particularly when doing so with the
sons of Mars.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

What Ella Wheeler Wilcox Says

From the St. James Gazette.
 When the Princess of Wales placed her wreath on the coffin of Mrs. Gladstone the day before the burial in Westminster Ab- bey, the Princess wrote on her card four lines of verse to accompany the wreath. In some quarters 1t was assumed that the Princess was the author of the lines. They were, however taken from poem written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, an American lady Answering a question from cor respondent, Miss Wilcox wrote: Natural ly, I object to having my own creation credited to anyone-even a Princess-by the press at large; but that the lines wrote nineteen years ago in a little rus tic house in the obscure town of Windsor Wis, should be copied by the Princess of Wales at Windsor castle and sent to Mrs. Gladstone's funeral is a compliment I highly appreciate-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

TWO DAYS IN
 BOER TRENCHES
The Experience of an English Soldier Who Fell Under the
 Awful Fire of the Boers.

Yes, it's all very well now, when I've got through the job and spent nearly three months in hospital, but it's was jolly unpleasant while it lasted I can tell you.
 It happened this way. We were potting away in the middle of the Paardeberg fight, right out in an extended order, every man more or less for himself, when pom-pom shell came plump, and burst right in front of me. The spllnters got up all over the place, and l collapsed.
 By-and-by 1 woke up and found l had got pretty well damaged. A wound in my foot, my ankle pierced, both legs with holes in them, and general sort of feeling that a thunderstorm had sat down on me. When were in action we've always got bandage with us, so l tore off a couple of strips and bound up my ankle and one of my legs. l couldn't reach the other one, because 1t was bent under me, and moving was out ot the question.
 By-and-by the battle seemed to remove itself over the kopjes, and l and half dozen other wounded chaps were left alone on the veldt. The Boers came along and lifted us into their trenches not many hum dred yards off. We were jolly glad to get under cover, I can tell you, although we were in the enemys hands. While We were lying out there on the yeldt, We could see the vultures, or aasvoges, as they call them out there, wheeling about overhead, and that gave us bit of start.
 By-and-by we got pretty comfortable in the Boer trenches, although 1t was rough and terribly, beastly dirty. It made us sick just to open our eyes and look around. The Boers weren't half bad to us. 1 got coffee and dark Boer bread, and d sort of bully beef out of tin, and now and then sip Of whiskey, or it may have been Boer brandy. Some of their fellows came to talk to us, and nearly all of them spoke Eng fish. There were not many foreigners, at least. so far as l saw but now and again l heard a bit of foreign lingo, that may have been Dutch or French, don't know which.
 But when our guns began to Lombard Cronje in his laager just behind the trenches in which we lay, it was just too awful for words. The shell flew over our heads by the hundreds, and being sick and weak, and my wounds aching awfully, just thought that the end of all things had come-and when it didn't come, l wished it would.
 The noise and the scare were something Terrible. The Boers ran about all over the shop like so many demented monkeys. Cronje tried to get up his re-inforcements from out Natal way, but French was too quick on his track, and hemned him in in no time.
 The worst part of the bombardment was when our guns were trained on to Cronje's ammunition wagons in his laager. They got the range at last, and pumped shell right atop The ammunition blew up with a great roar and killed a lot of the enemy.
 All this time 1 was lying on my back in the trench munchng bit of stale bread and grooming in pain. However it came to an end at last, and I and the half-dozen other wounded Britishers, one of them fel- lows in my regiment, were rescued by the Highland Brigade.

 A Walnut Hill,resident made up his mind a few days ago to begin taking Ice from the local ice trust. Having various brands of bottled goods in his refrigerator he thought 1t best to have the ice man leave the ice on the back porch. Accordingly he came down town one morning, and, dropping into a hardware store, purchased pair of ice tongs
 I'm going to carry my own ice into the house and put 1t into my refrigerator" he said in explanation of-his purchase
 Two or three days later he again entered the store, bringing the ice tongs with him. Walking up to the clerk who had sold him the tongs the man said:
