small or far from the railroad, is
entitled to an Institute, provided it
is located in a farming district and

can be held.
Farmers should talk this matter
up with their neighbors and if the
sentiment seems favorable for an
Institute for. their town they should
write US at once for application

Maud Muller jumped on the
time-worn bike, for an opening hit
on the dusty pike. An old drop
frame with a way down gear, and
a rattle the, dead could hear. The
Judge came pounding along behind,
out airing his judicial mind. He
noted the figure neat and trim, the
graceful motion of the hidden limb,
and said to himself in grave delight,
"What's the matter with Maud?
She's all right" He drew up beside
her and asked her flat why she rode
such an old ice cart as that. And
she said sales ladies could i'll support
such wheel as the district court.
He told her she could on a chainless
ride, with diamond frame, if she'd
be his bride. Or if she would burst
her solo life, they would tandem to-
gether as man and wife. Maud bit
at the bait like hungry trout, and
the old Judge smiled as he yanked
her out. They ride tandem now
of course, but Maud has to work
like a tread-mill horse. For the
Judge he learned to sit and shirk,
and lets his darling do all the work.
He weighs al but the poor girl
thinks its an even ton.

The New New Richmond

Yesterday marked the third ami
versary of the cyclone that swept
over New Richmond on the evening
of June 18th, 1899, destroying
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth of property, snufing out in an
instant scores of lives, injuring in a
terrible manner scores of others,
many of whom after untold suffering
died of their injuries, others recov-
cred but were MANNED for life.
To-day, even to many of the sur
vivors, it remains but terrible mem
ory. AS far as the city itself is con-
cerned, it can be said to have fully
recovered-and more than that: it
has made great strides along the
path of progress, and is to-day a
vastly better town than il was before
the storm-vastly better, possibly,
than it ever would have been at this
date without the cyclone. External
of the storm have been
almost entirely obliterated; those
scars that remain are fast disap-
pearing. That portion of the city
through which the storm swept in
its greatest fury has been rebuilt bet
ter than before. New Richmond
has regained its old time prosperity
and push and is rapidly forging
ahead. New Richmond Republican

Annie laurie's Grave.

Public notice has been directed In
England to the grave of Annie Laurie
and the fact that it has been sadly neg
lected and has remained all these years
without tombstone is attracting atten-
ton. The st. James Gazette remarks:
Many people are under the delusiOn that
Annie Laurie was merely Pigment of
the poets brain. but this was not so.
She was the daughter o Sir Robert
Laurie. and was born in Maxwelton
House. which stands on the 'Braes inn
mortaliZed to the song. MaXwelton
House is still full of memories of this
winsome girl. and in the long drawing
room there still hangs her portrait. Her
lover and the author of the original song
was young Douglas of Fingland but
whether he, as is common with lovers OF
poetic temperament, did not press his
suit sufficiently or whether she wished a
stabler husband, she gave her hand to a
prosaic country laird, her cousin, Mr..
Alexander Ferguson. They lived the rest
of their lives at Craigdarrock House, five
miles from Maxwelton. and when she
died Annie was buried in the beautiful
glen of the Cairn. Lady Scott SPOTS
woode, who died early in the present
year, was responsible for the modern YER
sion of the song"
