Employment agent Dick Hawks
has hired for the various lumber
men of this locality 1918 woodsmen
since the fifteenth of October last
year. 1t has cost the men nothing
to secure their jobs, Mr. Hawks
salary being paid by the loggers.
Hawks says he met a number of
these men on the third day of April;
he don t know how they voted but
he heard later that Mr.. McBeath
was elected. Every business man
is looking anxiously for all the
hardy lumbermen to come to town.
They are the boys who make things
lively.
Mr.. Hawks announces that he
now has the receipts for April dues
to the Northern accident AssOcia-
ton, and must report by the 10Th.
Members viii! please see that their
dues are paid before the above date.

Ed, Johnson is one man who
would undoubtedly be pleased to see
the appointment of chief of police
hung UP all summer. He still holds
the star and has no immediate
successor in sight. But he will
likely go with the rest of the
officers. This game of politics is a
hot affair for the policeman, as they
just get SO they think they have
the only desirable job on earth, when
along comes change of administra-
ton and they "go in the air." and
have to hunt jobs on the docks.
Still their fate does not differ ma
terially from that of other politicians
who, when their greatness seems a.
ripenening, fall, to make room for
some one else who had played in
better luck than they in the political
game.
Manager McClintock has been
having good deal of work done on
the base ball grounds this week.
He has acted as overseer, while Jack
Tollan has handled the horses and
"Billy" Felix run the machines
that have been utilized to level the
grounds and put them in the best
shape of any ball grounds in north
ern Wisconsin, Manager McClin-
took and his Companions in sport"
promise hot base ball season.
1t is estimated that 100000
tickets were printed for the last
election. This was equivalent to
nearly 800 tickets for every vote
polled on election day. If laid side
by side these little ballots would
have covered over 3 acres of ground;
if piled one on top of the other they
would have reached 100 feet high,
or made pile about 30 feet higher
than the elevator Such a waste
of good paper and valuable printers
ink was ridiculous, of course, but
every candidate had to have lust as
many as the other fellow, with the
result that the poor voter was ex-
cuseable if he did not know how to
pick his men.

How Rulers Are Addressed.

The simple little madam" is. as
tween Victoria and her court to marx
her dignity as the ruler Of a world
wide empire. Had Britain a king he
would be no more than sire" the old
French form of sir" sacred to roy
atty. The term of your majesty" is
only for servants and ceremonial oc-
casions. Not every one is aware, how
ever, that there are few other courts
where this simplicity prevails. The
Emperor Of Germany is majestat'-
there is no pronoun in the title-to all
and sundry, even to his family. except
when in absolute privacy. The EN-
peror of Austria is ''eurer majestat' at
all times and under all circumstances:
the King Of Greece is ''votre majestic"
French being the court language, and
the King of Sweden is "eiS majestat."
Their royal consorts are addressed with
the same formality. Only at the courts
of Belgium and Italy may the sover-
eign be greeted as sire" or madam. ~
though the etiquette of the Russian
court permits it when the French Ian
guage is being used. Nicholas H.. is
to his courtiers and officials ear"
To the lips of a Russian peasant face
to face with his sovereign the time
honored little father" little mother"
would spring, as would ''eXcellenza"
to those of an Italian. 1t should be
noted in passing that not even their
most privileged courtiers may speak
TO monarchs unless they are spoken to-.
This piece of etiquette does not work
out quite so stitIly as MIGHT be expect
ed; once embarked on conversation
remarks and opinions may be offered

At "a Ceylon Hospital.

Every nurse WAo touches at the port
of Colombo wants to inspect the model
little Lady Havelock Hospital, which
was suggested and opened by the wife
of {. former Governor of Ceylon of
that name, says the New York Tri-
bune. The hospital is stated entirely
by women, and was built for the ben
eft of the native women whose reli-
gious customs and traditions forbid
the ministrations of medical men.
The resident surgeon at the Lady
Hayelocll is a qualified Dutch burgher
the first, and so far the only, wom-
an who has studied and taken her de-
gree in Ceylon. The hospital stands
in the centre of beautiful grounds, full
of shady tropical trees and vivid flow
ers, and contains ten wards built on
the pavilion plan. Three rupees day
81 50-and ten rupees entrance fee
cover the cost OF nursing, medicines,
medical attendance and board. The
uniform is brown holland, braided in
white.
The native women are pleasant and
tractable patients. Nightgowns are
garments unknown to natives of Cey-
lon, and it is curious to see patients in
bed with lengths of linen rolled around
them, these doing duty as robes de
mutt.
