"My son." said the fond but wise
parent, "you are leaving me to go out
into the world. I have nothing to give
you but advice. Never tell lie. II
you wish to put one in circulation, get
it published. A lie cannot live, but it
takes one a blamed long time to fade
out Of print.
Always read your contract. A man
might consider he was getting sine
cure If he were offered position pick
ing blossoms of century plant; but,
you see, he wouldn't have remunera-
tive occupation II he were paid on
piecework.
BE not overcritical. Even the most
ordinary sort of genius can tell when
the other fellow is making fool Of
himself.
Remember that the young man, like
the anglers worm, is rather better for
being visibly alive.
BE careful in the choice of your sur.
roundings. Environment will do a
great deal for a man. For example,
flour and water In china jug is cream
sauce. In pail on the sidewalk 1t is
billsticker'a paste.
Don't forget that there's time for
everything and that everything should
be done In its proper time. Never
hunt for bargains in umbrellas on a
rainy day.
"You may make enemies. II you
know who they are, don't mention
them. Silence is golden. 1t saves the
! money that might otherwise be spent
in defending libel suit. If you don't
know who they are-well. abuse law

Chicago. June 20. = After making a
careful canvass of the Northwest ter
ritory and preparing conservative es-
Inmates upon the conditions found
throughout the grain belt, traffic Of
ficials of the st. Paul, the Northwest
ern, the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Burlington systems
are agreed that the wheat crop of this
region for 1901 will break all previous
records. According to the estimates Of
these officials it is claimed that the two
Dakotas and Minnesota alone will
harvest between 1s5,00O,OOO and 100000
900 this year. The greatest previous
yield of wheat in the thu ee states was
in 1898, when 175,O0O,Oo0 bushels were
harvested. The Record Herald, in an
explanation of this years enormous
crop, says:
The crop cannot be termed bump
err crop. as the enormous increase is
due largely to the fact that various
railroad companies have within the
last two years made extreme efforts
toward colonization of the Northwest
territory, and as result extensive
additions have been made to the total
of cultivated lands and grain acreage"

Vancouver, B. c., June SO-The Brit

been hauled down by an American and
has caused great deal of excitement
and i'll feeling at the American gateway
to the Klondike. The steamship ISL
ander, which arrived yesterday with
the news, brings the official statement
of the affair from a Canadian stand
point. 1t reads as follows:
"On Saturday morning at $3.50 M. E.
Busby, Canadian supervisor of customs,
acting on instructions from the Can
adam department of customs, hoisted
the official customs flag over his Office.
The flag was no sooner up than Mr..
Andrews, the United States collector at
skagway, called on Mr.. Busby and de-
manded by what right he
Raised the Flag
without the Stars and Stripes being
raised above. Mr.. Busby replied that it
was rot a national emblem, but the
customs flag placed as the usage all
over the world to indicate to the public
where the Office was situated. Mr.. An
dreWs appeared to be satisfied with the
explanation, but a man named Miller,
an attorney from Eugene, Or, and
brother Of Joaquin Miller, crossed the
street, where he had been talking to
Judge Selbrede. United States commits
sioner, and hauled down the flag. Mr..
Busby followed Miller and asked him
by what right he had hauled down the
flag and threatened him with arrest in
the presence of Mr.. Andrews and de-
ma aded his name Miller handed BuSbv
his card, whereupon Mr.. Busby
Reported the Matter
to Capt. jerks, in command of the
United States troops at Skagway.
Miller left town that afternoon. While
many agree that there was nothing I'M
usual in raising the flag. the majority
of citizens sympathize with Miller. On
Monday the flag was again raised, but
Mr.. Busby was Informed by Judge Sell
ubrede and Capt. jerks, deputy United
States marshal that they would not be
responsible for the violence of a mob
unless the flag was taken down again
pending instructions from Washington.
The flag was again taken down, but as
the flag was raised by order of the
Canadian government Canadians in
Skagway feel that Mr.. Busby should
be backed up by the federal authori.

that Grun6man may have done it him.

The disconnected worries of a mo-
rose person may very likely shorten
his days and the general justice of
natures arrangement provides that
his early departure should entail no
long regrets. On the other hand, the
man who can laugh keeps his health.
To the perfectly healthy laughter
comes often. Too commonly, though,
as childhood is left behind, the habit
fails, and a half smile is the best that
visits the thought-lined mouth of a
modern man or woman. People be-
come more and more burdened with
the accumulations of knowledge and
with the weighing responsibilities of
life, but they should still spare time to
laugh. ..=
