The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-12-24

A recent issue of the Seattle Times
contains the following: Many residents
within that portion OF Skagit county
living between ranges 90 3 east, are
discussing the adVisnbility of anneXin9
themselves To san Juan county. The
territory affected il that portion of the
county cut OF by the waters Of Puget
Sound, and embraces the islands of
Fidalgo, upon which Au&cortes is To-
Gated, Gucmes and Cypress This
change, ii is claimed, wOuId be a great
advantage to the seeding townships,
rs geographically their interests are
allied with those of San Juan more
closely than with Skagit; besides, San
Juan county is anxious to embrace this
district within its horders.'
What "A desirable arrangement that
would bp-fOr AnacOrtes. Having re-
pratedIy Jailed in their efforts to secure
the county seat Of Skagit county our
beloved brethren of Fidalgo, under the
leadership OF the charming Anna Cor
ties, are seductively seeking to gather us
into their fold. But Anna is laboring
under delusion in assuming that we
are "anXiOus to Embrace her in the
manner proposed. We never turn
down any good embracing PROPOSE
ton, bur this one doesn't tempt us a
little bit. We are quite willing to let
Anna be sister to Us, talk with us
over the cable-telephone in the sweet
bye and bye and be neighborly with us
in general way, but no closer alliance
can be considered for moment. No,
40, Anna, we don't want to triile with
your affections or needlessly hurt your
feelings, so we think best to tell YOU
gently, but firmly that the proposition
don't go.
Possibly your legal adviser has not
called your attention to section 10 of
TIE act providing for Changing county
lines,n the first section Of which act
may have encouraged you to submit
your proposal. IT, you care to pursue
the subject further you will notice that
section 10 says:
Nothing in this chapter shall be
construed to authorize the anneXing of
territory of one county to a neighbor-
ing county where the territory pro-
posed to be annexed, or any part there
OF, is at a greater distance than ten
miles from the court house i'm the coun-
ty seat of the county to which said ter
ritory is proposed to be annexed, as
said court house is now located. nor to
authorize the annexation of any terri
tory at greater distance than three
miles from high-water mark of tide
water but such annexation shall be
strictly confined within said limits.n
Guess you will have to convert that
big hotel building in your suburbs,
Anna, 10 some other use than as q
court house for San Juan county. The
one we have here, while not exactly an
edifice to which We can "point with
pride" serves the needs of our people
better than a million dollar structure
would in Anacortss.

Brave Queen Amelie.

The queen of Portugal is one OF the
bravest women who ever shared a
throne. Queen Amelie, like other Ia
dies of the house of Orleans, is very
athletic, and has won two medals for
saving life. One was given to her by
the kaiser for her gallant rescue OF a
boatman from drowning as Cas-Caes,
and the other was bestowed on her
some years before by the humane So
ciety for plunging into the Tagus and
saving her own child. The statement
that Queen Amelie is an M. D., which
has SO often gone the rounds Of the
papers is unfounded, but she has a
knowledge Of medicine very unusual
for a woman and Is besides a first
rate nurse. When the heroic DR..
Pestana, who gave his life for the VIC
tins Of plague some years ago, was dy'
Ing she was with him to the last. The
noble man, gazing at the queen, said;
~ have only five minutes to live; the
tetanic spasms have returned. Adieu,
madam. thank your majesty for hay.
Ing honored my deathbed with your
presence.

WELLINGTON Especially Emera
E. Wilson, county attorney Of this
county, has disappeared. He was last
seen in Kansas City, from which
place he wrote a letter to his wife
informing her that he intended to
drown himself; that it was a choice
between suicide and insanity. Some
of his friends believe that his purpose
was to quit the country rather than
kill himself. He has for some time
been promoting a cattle feeding con-
Germ called the Sherman Cattle Com
pany, with a ranch in Beaver county,
O. T, which is said to be In a pre-
carious condition financially, and 1t
is believed that his disappearance has
some connection with the company's
affairs.

God Didn't Mind Him.

Henry, aged 4, fat dimpled and die
tatorial, had for two years been al
enthusiastic prayer and devout beliey
err in the efficacy Of prayer. 1t had
been his conviction that all he needed
to do was to demand of God whatever
he wanted and wait.
Before going abroad Aunt Mary
begged Henry to invoke protection for
her from on high against turbulent
waters and subsequent seasickness,
and he prayed, night after night, that
the Almighty would steady the vessel.
Henry was astonished, mortified and
aggravated, a fortnight after his
aunt's departure, to learn that as the
result of unusual roughness Of sea his
mothers sister had been i'll from
Sandy Hook to Liverpool. He con-
trolled his temper with portentous
fortitude until bedtime, when for his
customary prayer he substituted the
following.
God, why didn't you mind me! I
told you not to let that boat rock, and
I hear it rocked some!"

BOYS or HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Some Of the Customs Of the Students
al Westminster,


A recent book by Capt. Markham OF
the British army tells Of experiences
in Westminster school, London, half a
century ago. He describes the hand
ings" Of those days. The back of the
hand was extended, while the master,
standing behind, smote 1t with a rod,
which "curled over a little and left a
cut; and the culprit, facing the
school, observed the etiquette of the
occasion by wearing an expression OF
"scornful amusement" Capt. Mark
ham also describes tanning" which
was administered with the butt-end
Of rod upon the backs of the boys
legs" He recalls the code Of honor,
which was merciless to the boy who
broke his word or allowed another to
suffer for his offense, but permitted
ANY amount of humbugging OF a
master" When disinclined for school
you said. II don't feel very well, Sir"
and before the master inspected your
tongue you gave "the upper surface a
hard pressure with your upper teeth,
and out came a tongue white enough
to satisfy any doctor"

"sUMMER FOOD"
Has Other Advantages.

Many people have tried the 1000
Grape.Nuts simply with the idea OF
avoiding the trouble Of cooking food
In the hot months.
All Of these have found something
besides the ready cooked food idea, for
Grape-Nuts is scientific food that
tones up and restores a sick stomach
as well as repairs the waste tissue IN
brain and nerve center.
"For two years | had been sufferer
from catarrh Of the stomach due to
improper food and to relieve this con-
dition had tried nearly every pre-
pared food on the market without any
success until six months ago my wife
purchased box of Grape.Nuts, think
Ing 1t would be desirable cereal tor
the summer months
1--WE soon made discovery, we were
enchanted with the delightful flavor OF
the food and to my surprise began to
ret well. My breakfast now consists
Of a little fruit, four teaspoonfuls OF
Grape-Nuts, a cup Of Postum, which
prefer to coffee, graham bread or toast
and two boiled eggs. | never suher
the least distress after eating this and
my stomach is perfect and general
health fine. Grape-Nuts Is a wonder

Top Of the Santa Fe Fast Mall.
KANSAS CITY-(Special.) Harry
Roberts, 16 years old, Of this city, rode
from Topeka to Argentine, a distance
of sixty-one miles, on top Of the Santa
Fe fast mail train.
As the train passed through the
Argentine yard, s. H. Todd, special
officer, who was standing on the via
duct over the tracks, saw something
on top Of the mail car. In the moon
light he thought 1t moved, but the
rapid motion of the train prevented
him seeing what the object was, the
officer blew his whistle and the yard
men signaled the train to step. Todd
climbed onto the car and found Rob-
erts clinging to the roof The boy
was arrested and locked up in the
Argentine jail.
When brought before Judge H. H.
Liscenbee in police court Roberts said
he had been working in Oklahoma;
that he had reached Topeka, and hav-
ing no money, decided to "bum" his
way to his home In this city. He
went to the Santa Fe yards and
climbed on top of the mail car While
the train was standing.
II did not know it was the fast
train" he said, cor would not have

I'd be,thrown Oft as the train sWayed
