A Singular Forest.

The most singular forest growth in
the world is encountered in the FAX
land islands, a dismal region constantly
swept by q strong polar wind. What
appears to be weather worn and moss
covered powders are scattered about,
and when n Of these curious objects
Is seized in an attempt to overturn it
strong roots are found to hold it down,
these Powders being, in fact, native
trees which the wind has forced to as
sumo this shape. The wood appears to
be a twisted mass of fibers almost i'm
possible to cut up into fuel.

Are You Left Eyed or Right Eyedf
There are but few ambidexters either
in the matter of hands, feet or eyes. It
nay sound rather queer, but it is a fact
L"vertheless, that ninety-five out Of ev-
cry hundred human beings are right
hanCed, left legged and left eyed.
Felix Hement remarked that it is an
established fact that we all use one eye
more than we do the other. which es-
tablishes IS clear a case of left and
right eyedness" as though the same
terms We're used to denote a preference
In the use OF hands and feet.
If you to decide as to whether
your friends or relatives are right or
left eyed give them a small telescope or
spyg.Iss to look through or have them
take aim with a gun. We all take
great interest in ascertaining the color.
size, shape and visual powers o. our
children's eyes. but how many of US
stop to consider whether they are
right or left eyed?

A Widespread Vanity.

In these days there seem to be as
many writers as there are readers. The
spread Of authorship and its e~gregious
pride Is hit off in this dialogue from
the Fliegende Batter:
a guest at a hotel table reading the
bill of fare says, Your bill of fare is
great"
Il am glad to hear it, replies the
head waiter. Il am it's author"

Sioux Falls press :--The~Huronite
is quite right Tin relieving the last
legislature of a portion Of the respon-
sibility for expensive conditions. But
does not the HurOnite understand
that the extravaganza of the last leg
lstature was the result Of the capital
combination through which measures
were passed which could not have
succeeded on their merits?
Huronite: No. the Hurcnite does
not so understand. This statement
has been repeated with persistency
by the Press and Others and it's truth
fulness has not heretofore been chal-
lenged. AS n fairly conversant
with the doings of the last legisla,
ture, we enter a denial in general
that the capital removal combination
was responsible for any legislation
save the removal resolution.
There have been a number of papers
in the state, whose relations are more
Or less friendly to Pierre who have
sought to make it appear to the det-
riment Of Mitchell that the capital
~renOvalists were responsible for what
ever there was of extravaganza in the
appropriations in the last legislature.
The friends of this city have dis
claimed any connection with the ex-
p~enditures Of money. but it was pre-
sumed that this would be but the
natural course in self-defence. The
statement made by Brer. Longstaff.
OF the Huronite. ought to satisfy
Pierre and its friends that there is
no truth in the statement. Inas-
much as Pierre is flirting pretty
strongly for the support of Huron will
the papers Of that town insist that
John Longstatf is telling an untrutb?

Arnold when introduced said how
proud he felt at making the acquaint-

difference between you and me is that
you are a ~notability. while 1 am only a

Wildwood Fire Meeting.

The Wildwood Fire company held a
meeting Tuesday evening and it was
decided to hold a ball sometime in May
or June. A committee has waited on
Mr.. Butcher and he consented to give
the firemen the use of the Casino for
the event. The company proposes to
have fire practice next Monday night
and the firemen will be summoned by
the ringing of the bell. The people of
the community should not get excited
at the slow ringing of the bell, but bear
in mind that a fire alarm is given by
ringing the bell violently. The slow
ringing of the bell indicates that a fire
meeting is to be held or done to sum-
mon the members to fire practice.

Sunday-SchooI Officers Elected.

Directly after the Sunday-school ses-
sion at the Holly Beach Presbyterian
church last Sunday, Jan. Is, a meeting
of the officers and teachers was held to
elect officers for the coming year. b.
Yenney was chairman of the meeting
and Miss r.. Forcum secretary. John
H. Smith, who has been the superin-
tendent for about ten years, was re-elec-
ted. Mr.. Yenney was elected assistant
superintendent; Miss r. Forcum, sec
rotary; Mrs. Lundine, treasurer; Bur-
nett Dowler, Librarian; Raymond Vim
cent, assistant librarian; Miss Hester
Forcum, organist. The school is large
and the attendance quite regular, but
there is room for more. There are quite
a number of children on the island who
do not attend any of the Sunday
schools. This is certainly u sad neg
lect on the part of the parents. 1t is a
duty which they may neglect, but the
responsibility they cannot escape. Pa
rents are held responsible for the train
ing of their children and justly so. The
early teaching and influence hal sur
round the child's life has much to do
with forming the character, life and
destiny of the individual. 1t is the aim
and object with all who are connected
with the Presbyterian Sunday-school
at Holly Beach to make the school as
interesting and profitable as possible
the coming year. We do not alone de-
sire anincrease in number of scholars,

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which
it is unable to do for itself, even when
but slightly disordered or overloaded.
Kodol supplies the natural juices of di-
gestion and does the work of the stom-
ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while
the infiamed muscles of that organ are
allowed to rest and heal. Kodol digests
what you eat and enables the stomach
and digestive organs to transform all
food into rich, red blood. Cohen Bros,

are earnest, honest and unselfish. Ear
nest in seeking to know the truth, hon
est enough to prepare themselves for
the work, unselfish in the desire to ad-
vance the interest of the scholar and
the work for which the church stands.
This cannot be accomplished by the
careless and Indifferent Sunday-school
worker who allows his lesson leaf to lie
around all week and then shake the
dust off the leahet and go to meet his
class, without knowing as much as the
title of the lesson, and then wonders
why the scholars lose all interest in
lesson, teacher and school. Parents,

your children can share in the annual
Christmas festival and general good
will which fills, and rightly SO, the

woman and child. We have room in
the Bible class for the adult scholar as
well, who never grows too old for the
Sunday-school. An invitation is ex-

Bisbee daily review., 1903-02-19

The key to the Eureka market in the Dubacher building was in the hands of Constable Doyle last night. This means that something has hap pened that has been expected for sew eral weeks. C. H. Brown, proprietor of the place, has been pushed by his creditors. He was only given more time in the hope that he would be able to meet his bills.
 The action taken yesterday is the result of foreclosure proceedings taken at the request of George Zam' barelo. who alleges in his complaint that Brown owes him $2S5, which is now long overdue. His only redress is to take possession of the market. When Constable Doyle took an in ventory of the stock yesterday he found that Brown had disposed oi nearly all there was that could be moved. The last bill amounting tc about s32 was sold to Wright and Don ahue. They had this coming from Brown, who squared it by giving them fruits and like produce.
 Brown has several other creditors among them Cal Messner, who stated last night that the former merchant owes him a sum that is about s1S6

EUREKA MARKET CLOSED

He says that there is but little hope of getting this back. For some time he has been working in the market in the employ of Brown.
 For the past few days Brown has been making a number of collections. He has been in the habit of collect ing weekly to meet his bills, as he said. In the presence of a reporter he made the following statement only a few days ago:
 'I have to pay my bills on the first of every week. The houses with which l deal will not wait longer than one week for their money. In Los Angeles they all make this demand If I was carrying a stock of gro ! ceries to hold me up, could give those who deal with me more time to pay their bills, but I have to have the money"
 Brown appeared at the Review office | last night and asked that the news oi | the foreclosure be held one day. He was refused on the ground that the closing up of his business was news and properly the property of the read ! ing public He said, when asked foi an explanation:
 There is nothing to this, and every thing will be all right"
