to do all in its power to have all
property in the state assessed at its
full value this year and it warns all
assessors that they will be prosecut-
cd if they do not faithfully comply
with the law. They are sending
out a pamphlet Of instructions to as
SCISSORS and warn them against the
consequences of differentiation OF
property or the failure to assess all
assessable property that they can
find subject to taxation. The con-
sequences of a dereliction of duty on
their part will be certain prosecution

Perhaps the army cantccn does
not contemplate an immediate mil
lenium among soldiers but condi-
tons relative to temperate habits
among them are are certainly better
with than without it. Congress
showed a want of backbone" in
yielding to sentiment in abolishing
the canteen. The unsatisfactory
conditions at the posts arising from
its abolition has created strong
sentiment for the establishment Of
the cantcen. The demand of all
practical people is for its re-cstablish-
ment. The American Medical AS
ISOLATION, composed Of physicians
from all parts of the country, at its
sessions in St, Paul last week, adopt
ed report endorsing the move
ment for its establishment The
following is the resolution:
Resolved, That this body de-
plorcs the action Of congress in
abohshing the army post ex-
change or canteen, and in the
interests Of discipline, morality
and sanitation recommends its
re-establishment at the earliest
possible date.

The Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale
told how curious error crept into the
translation of the Lords Prayer into
the Delaware Indian tongue. The Eng
llsh translator had as an assistant an
Indian who knew English. "What Is
'hallow' in Delaware?' asked the trans
lator. The Indian thought he said hal
loo" and gave him the equivalent.
Therefore the Delaware version Of the
Lords Prayer reads TO this day "Our
Father who art in heaven. hallooed be
thy name"
