Last week we said the steamer SEQ
veil was the only boat that had land
ed at Colfax in three months, which
was an error. The Geo. L. Bass, the
fastest and best country steamboat
thatever turned a wheelin Red river, !"
to use the language of her Master,
Capt. T. NJ. Wells, has made regular
weekly trips between Boyce and
Campti, stopping at Colfax on every
trip We regret making such a grave
blunder, thereby causing Capt. Wells
to call us to taw, and asking if we
would call his boat "a painted raft
or floating cook house." Not a
bit OF it, Captain. The Bass is 30 reg
ular in her trips that We overlooked
her plying in the river at all.

RUSSIAN FAsTs AND HOLIDAYS.
So Many That They Stand in the Way
of Progress.

The great number of fasts and holt
days also stands severely In the way
of progress in Russia. In 1902, with
out reckoning ordinary Wednesdays
and Fridays, which are always fast
days, there were only li6 days which
did not fall under one head or the
other, and many fell under both. Be
sides the ordinary Lenten period,
which, however, In Russia is forty
eight days long instead OF forty, they
have three shorter periods of fasting,
one of nineteen days, in June; one OF
fourteen days In August; and anoth-
er of thirty three days, In November
and December. There are also three
single days of fasting, of which two
are also holidays.
Fasting is a serious matter in Rus
STA, for fish, milk and eggs are for
hidden as well as meats. The result
is that the markets for such products
are largely cut off for about one-third
of the year. and dairy farming be,
comes Improbable. as strict obsery-
anee of fasts Is Weightier matter
with the people than honesty or any
other feature of our system of morals.

She sat down at her desk and wrote
a little note to MIR. Lloyd Even when

ANOTHER BLOW AT COMFORT.
Physicians Denounce Habit of Sitting
With Crossed Leus

Here is another comfortable old
habit tabooed Physical culturists
will say that the practice of sitting
with the legs or even the feet crossed
Is bad one, and has more to do with
cold feet than most persons imagine.
1t has this result principally through
impeding the circulation of the blood
in the leg that is crossed over the
other. The femoral veins are cramped.
with the consequence that the blood
is damned back into the feet and
above the knee. inducing as well as
cold feet varieose condition of the
veins OF the calves. Another reason
why the habit should be discouraged
Is the fact that on general physiology
cal principles it is healthier to sit
squarely with both feet resting upon
the floor whereas with the legs
crossed the weight of the body Is
thrown almost wholly to one side or
the other.

in love with her before.
During the strenuous days of her
early girlhood there had been no time
for such things in her ambitious life.
She had grown to consider herself I'M
attractive, for she was very modest
woman in spite of her success.
Her school days had been at best
haphazard ones. Her teaching had
been a miserable failure. Therefore,
the fact that Mr.. Lloyd wished her to
be his wife seemed a great honor.
Joan laughed her soft. good.humored

Restlessly she walked back TO the
window and leaned her head against

PLEASES THE LUMBERMEN.
They Wear Broad Smiles Thinking oil
Good Done by the Rain.

The lumbermen in this vicinity wore
broad smiles, Thursday, when they saw
the dnwllOur of rain which had contin-
ued since before moonlight, Wednesday,
for they saw visions of full ponds and
lakes for the fall season and good
storage Of water for next spring. There
WAS good reason for the cheerful out
look they put on things for the streams
which have been very low for months
past were running brimming full with
the two inches of rain which fell be-
tween midnight, Wednesday, and
Thursday noon.
Early Thursday forenoon, the guage at
the HOllingsworth & Whitney, mill in
WnslOw recorded a fall of 193 inches
and as the rain after that time was
heavy the fall is probably little more
than two inches. Reports from Green
vile and the lake region indicate that
the rain was also heavy in that section.
The rain was badly needed, for the
streams were very low and the lumber
men We're fearful Of such another dry
fail as was experienced a year ago but
with few more storms like that of
Wednesday night there will be no dam
ger of a scarcity of water.
