Two Kinds of Law.

There was case in the police court
yesterday where young man was
charged with the theft OF some boots
but the parties settled. the accused
paying the accuser so cents. You
had no right 10 take money 10 settle
case of theft. said the police magis-
trate.
AS a statement Of law. this may be
all right, but how does the principle
work as applied TO larger people than
the 50-cent disputants in yesterday s
court@ When a bank clerk steals
thousands OF dollars. does the law
say that the bank has no right TO take
money TO settle the case of theft?
Whatever the written law may be,
the practice is TO let big operators in
theft settle with the big institutions
they have wronged. The principle is
in practice accepted that the big in
stituticn shall be considered and en-
abled TO recover. il it can. what has
been stolen from it.
The way IL works out in this. as in
many other matters. is that there is
one law for the great and another for
the small.-Toronto Star

The originality of American girls
has often been known TO puzzle for
eigners to no small degree and the
following is but an Illustration Of
what they run up against:
A group of intelligent people were
gathered in the drawing room of a
fashionable hotel on the continent, all
chatting in 4 friendly manner when
an American girl suddenly held the
floor
Yes she said. speaking of COM
parsons. I guess have been every

nothing 10 me can compare with
Blanks hotel of Denver"
The foreigners laughed. for they
thought il must be some kind of
joke yet they did not know what
Blanks hotel was and had never heard
of it.
A few days later as the American
girl was taken i'll. one OF the women
went to call upon her. In smoothing
the pillows and arranging the eoverlid
the lady noticed a photograph fall TO
the floor.
Picking it up. she said: Il suppose
this has something to do with Blanks

Yes. said the girl wit sigh. hes

Thinks American Soldiers Live Too
High to Stand Long Campaign.
New York, May Gen. Baden-Pow-
ell, before sailing for England on the
completion of his tour OF this country,
speaking of the United States cavalry,
said:
Il rather expected to ind men OF
fine physique in your cavalry, and was
surprised to find the reverse. They
enjoy too many Injuries, and their
food and their system of exercise is
not enough. Their food is far too
highly seasoned. They should be de-
prived of coffee altogether and should
only have All occasional portion OF
tea. The British cavalrymen. when in
barracks. have salt water bath every
day. which keeps them in perfect
physical condition. Plain diet. vigor-
Gus exercise combined with the reg
ular drill. arc what have made the
British cavalrymen superior to all 9th
er cavalrymen in the world. Your
cavalry have not yet had a hard cam

think that if the chance ever comes

FIfTY-SIX KILLED
LIVES QUICKLY SNuFFED OUT IN
TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE
At FRANK.
VAST AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE
PICTURESQUE VALLEY is NOW
NOTHING BUT RUIN AND
DESoLATioN.
VAST AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ION
CAUSE OF DISASTER NOT KNOWN
GENERAL OPINION is THAT 1T
WAS NOT VOLCANIC AS AT
FIRST THOUGHT.

Frank. N. W. T.. May 2.-It is def
nitely known that fifty-six people lost
their lives here before daybreak on
Wednesday by the sliding of the rocky
top OF Turtle Mountain down upon the
sleeping village of Frank. Besides
killing 1ifty-six people. the slide de-
stroyed the plant of the Canadian
American Coal and Coke company did
a vast amount Of damage to the mine
and completely devastated about ten
square miles of the finest and most
picturesque portion OF Crows Nest
Pass.
1t is expected the majority of the
bodies of the dead will never be found.
Some cabins are buried under $50 feet
of rock. Although organized efforts
were made to search for bodies only
nineteen have been found so far. Most
of the corpses were mangled beyond
recognition.
The disaster happened at o'clock
in the morning, when the sleeping in
habitants of Frank were suddenly
awakened by
Tremendous Crash,
followed by shaking of the buildings.
1t was still dark. and for time the
greatest confusion prevailed, no one
knowing just what had happened. AS
soon as day dawned it was seen that
the whole side of Turtle mountain had
fallen away, and the valley for a dis
lance of two miles was entirely
choked up by rocks and debris piled to
an average height of sixty feet.
simultaneously with the piling of
the rocks on Turtle mountain, there
opened an immense assure of the
earth on the northern side OF Turtle
mountain. This tssure extended for
a distance of three-quarters of d mile,
and was many feet in width. This
yawning chasm still remains open ac-
cording to reports brought in by men
who have been on the other side of
Turtle mountain.
The direct monetary damage will
exceed S1,5O0,000. The actual loss to
the mining company probably will not
exceed 5000, 900. The Canadian Pa
cific lost heavily through the blocking
OF it's track. The scene OF this catas-
trophe was formerly one Of the most
picturesque valleys in Canada
Ruin and Desolation.
OF the many beautiful homes. fer
tile farms and flourishing ranches
there is now nothing but ruin and
desolation, and the valley now has all
the appearance of volcano. The
natural gas and coal deposits are now
valueless. AS there is no geological
expert resident in the town it is I'M
possible to determine the true cause
of the explosion. but judging from the
opinions of those who have inspected
around the outside of the mass OF
rocks, it seems that it was a landslide
or natural gas explosion. Huge
pieces of rock are still falling from
the strangely altered top of Turtle
mountain. making it extremely danger
GUS to approach the vicinity to make
| an investigation into the exact cause
OF the catastrophe.
