1t amuses US to see some of our
good brother percil-pushers squirm
in an attempt to offend nobody. The
editor who can please everyone is
not fit for this earth, but is entitled
to wings. Our human nature is so
constituted that some like scandal
others don't; some like fakes expos
ed. others don't; some like to see
others ripped up the back, others
don't; some like to have the truth
told about them, others don't; some
like to take a paper seven or eight
years and never miss an issue nor
pay a cent and get roaring mad and
stop their paper when they get a
statement of their account, others
don t. IT is some consolation TIC
know that the Lord himself failed to
please everybody while on earth. -

After the Pine is Gone.

Mr.. w. E. McCord, of West Su-
perior, was in the city last week
says the Chippewa Independent.
Mr. McCord was on his way home
from the east where he had been to
close deal for tract of pine on
the south shore of Lake Superior.
The pine was not bought for present
logging but will be held for an ad-
vance.
In discussing the outlook for lum-
boring, Mr. McCord held that the
coming year would be profitable
one, and thought there was.sufficient
time to get in all the logs that could
be handled by the mills at a profit.
The nights have been cold and the
iced road is becoming so satisfactory
to the logger that snow cuts but
little figure.
How different it was twenty years
ago on the Chippewa. We thought
we could do nothing without snow,
and a soft spell, such as we are hav-
ing now would just scare the life
out of the logger. Why. he would
not sleep nights and actually feel
that he was a ruined man, and yet
don't you know that the loggers all
did we'll and made money?
Mr., McCord said that the lumber
business is being transferred to
Minnesota, and that the next ten
years would see that state the great
saw mill center of the west There
are some very fine plants in that
state already, and new ones are
being erected every year He
thought that fifteen years would see
the bulk of the timber cut in that
section And then what, asked the
Independent? Well we will have
to move to the Pacific coast, where
there is timber enough to last for a
hundred years. Mr.. McCord thought
that the Wey erhaeuser companies
in that section would begin manu-
featuring the coming year. Citizen.

They Escape Punishment

A couple of youths were caught
stealing chickens a few days ago,
and the coop of Gilbert Olson was
touched for as high as sixteen of the
fowls, which the youths sold and
otherwise disposed Of Through the
leniency shown by the officials, end
a settlement made by the par
ents the youths were permitted to
escape a trip to the Reform School.
and in this they were lucky Boys
in their teens who will do such
things should be made to realize that
the continuation of such a career
means grief and trouble, and unless
they have profited by their expert
ence they will find breakers ahead.
1t will hardly do for other youths to
follow the disastrous example, as
the brand of thief, even upon a boy,
will follow him for years, and the
shame of his doings can only be eff
faced by years of good conduct.
And the thief is always bound to be
caught, and Invariably it means
trouble and disgrace.

LIQUID LIGHT.
Science i'm Portable
Bottles.

The newest discovery in chemistry
is bottled light.
1t is substance made of tiny phos
phorescent creatures. Millions of
them can live in pint of water.
A bottle of these creatures makes
glowing light that throws out no heat
and will last for months, says the
New York World
Raphael Dubois, the French scien-
fist, is the discoverer Of this living
light.
This living phosphorescence is really
the result of chemical and physiolOg-
ical processes. and to it is owing the
light of the glow-worm and freely and
the luminosity of the southern seas.
NJ. Dubois, by making cultures" Of
certain phosphorescent microbes, or
photo bacteria, has succeeded in pro-
ducing highly luminous liquid which
diffuses light similar in appearance
and intensity to bright moonlight.
A bottle filled with this liquid and
placed in large room enables the
occupant to make out the time by
Watcn, read prlnt ana recognize races
at several yards distance. Think of
making light as medical prescription
is made up.
The bouillon, or culture liquid, is
composed of water, sea salt, glycerin
or mannite and certain phosphated
ingredients. Another liquid, which is
cheaper, is made from oil-cake, but
this must be sterilized to prevent the
development of putrefactive microbes
which would destroy the photo-bac
terra.
Either of these cultures, properly
prepared, retains its luminosity for
long time. Samples kept six months
in dark cellar were still luminous.
When the light fails, shaking the liquid
often renews it.

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety OF acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages OF Ia grippe II 10
not very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death Of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
Ia grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged BY the per-
nicious effects Of this disease. The major.
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them Of all the bad effects which Ia
grippe has brought upon them, what an un.
told amount Of suffering could be averted!
Thousands have already heard how quick.
~ this remedy will cure in these cases and
have been saved; but tens of thousands have
