The passenger train Monday fore.
noon was over an hour late. After
the train pulled out of Milaca the
engine became disabled, by the &c.
centric breaking, and the air equip
ment could not be operated. The
train got down to Brickton and an
effort was made to make some re.
pairs, but little could be accomplished
and the engineer had to proceed the
best ne could with his train. It was
almost one O'Clock when the train
pulled out of Princeton and had tc
creep along down to Elk River where
another engine was secured.

Last Saturday William Lawler OF
the town of Greenbush while, in Jes-
mer's department store became in
fatuated with a pair OF pantaloons
which he greatly admired and he pro-
ceeded to lay his hands on them and
depart. In the meantime the clerks of
the store were watching William and
while they admired his Judgment of
the goods they took exceptions to his
walking out with the same and forget
ting to leave the price. AS a result
the Greenbush lad was arrested and
taken before Justice Norton who fined
him SIS and costs. William did not
have the money in his pocket but he
promised to report at the JUSTICES
Office the first of the week with the fine
and an the costs and he did so. He
wanted a pair of trousers but he did
not get them, though: they cost him a
sawbuck. !. s9.sl H.

him. So intended to do with Mr..
Diggs' brother. OF course you
recollect him, don't you? And OF
course when anyone after all his
trouble, I was going to say vicls-
STUDIES, but [ don't know how to
spell IT'D when anyone. l say,
reaches that point of fame where
he has slaughtered untold game
i'm the mountain fastness of Penn
syIvania, he should be left alone.
But it seems tough, nevertheless,
to abandon him to the tender mer-
cies of his three companions. AS
an illustration, Mr.. Dlggs' brother
alone with his spoils aud Mr..
Diggs' brother with his spoils plus
three Jonahs are entirely different
propositions.
I thought I'd let Mr.. Digs
brother take the train and go IN
triumph to the city with his game,
while the other three would get
arrested for trespassing, but as a
faithful chronicler | must tell the
absolute truth regarding the out
come of that adventure. Besides,
If put the other three characters
an trouble I'd have to get them
out, otherwise the happy ending
of all stories would be missing In
this. The possibilities of further
mental strain presented by the pros
poet of putting three abject Jonahs
unto trouble and getting them out
again are too great for on embryo
author. So we will resume the mar
rative just where we left off, and
that was where Mr.. Diggs' brother,
afteran eventful day sport, showed
his wagon load of game to his three
companions.
To say that we were astonished
would be putting it mildly, SO We
won't put it mildly, but say we
were sore. Bill Diggs threw his
solitary rabbit into the brush. The
father-in. law looked contemptu-
ously at his squirrel, and | held
my gun at present arms" to the
victorious Mr.. Digs brother. The
fire was made and for supper we
had stewed pheasant. Beat all
the chicken l ever ate, home
or abroad! Bill Diggs found a
spring bubbling up through the
snow-bound rocks at short dis
lance, and with our fried potatoes
and canned peaches-well, | know
now why the Indians have such
good appetites. The father-in-law
made the coffee this time and it
wasn't nearly as bad as the stuff |
had concocted the day previous.
After supper we made the fire
bigger and brighter and if there
ever was content it was there as
we sat around that camp fire. Mr..
Diggs' brother was especially hap
py. He told us just how and
when and where he Slot this bird
and that squirrel. We asked about
the deer. He said he was going
through the woods when he heard
the slightest sound. His practiced
ear knew that no other animal but
a deer ever made sounds like that.

deer's direction he came upon it..
He was within thirty feet of it.
Without the slightest trace of
buck fever ne brought his trusty
weapon to bear upon the animal.
Selecting vital spot known only
to genuine sportsmen, he fred the
fatal shot. The deer fell in its
tracks. Mr.. Diggs' brother grew

work.

A Proposition.

Since the outbreak of hostilities
in the Far East, America has oc-
cupied the humiliating position of
acting the part of a traitor to one
who, as tradition says, assisted
her during the Civil War. Some
newspapers and our learned scribe,
G.. S., seem determined to put this
country under obligations to Rus
STA for the assumed assistance
Russia is supposed to have given
to the United States. AS matter
of fact the idea of such assistance
is absurd and is inconsistent with
history.
In the first place, we ask if Rus
STA could send feet over to this
country Thereby actually declar-
ing war against Great Britain and
France) because she, Russia, sus-
pected England Of sympathizing
with the South? Because one
nation is suspected of sympathiz-
ing with another that is at war,
is not legitimate cause for dec
laration of war on the part of a
third nation. If such is the case,
England had q right to declare
war against this country during
the South African war, for if we
are honest we must admit that
this country did sympathize with
the Beers. Again, Russia was in
no position to render military or
naval aid to America or any other
government during the Civil War.
It must be remembered that but a
few short years before, she was
thoroughly whipped in the Crimea.
Again, for Russia to send a feet
over here, she must have had 9
very good excuse, or else she must
have had secret treaty with
America. History proves that she
had neither the one nor the other
Did England actually try to
break the blockade of Southern
ports? If we are fair and give the
"devil his due" we must admit
that she did not. Had she done
SO, it would have been Russia's
cue to get into the game and come
to the assistance of the Federal
government. That would have
been an excellent excuse and one
recognized by international law;
but. until England actually made.
a movement to break the blockade
Russia could not assist this coun-
try.
There is case somewhat SINH
lar at the present day. France and
Russia are known to be friends,
and Russia would like to have the.
assistance Of her friend and ally,
but France cannot assist Russia
without bringing England to the aid
of Japan. AT the time of the Civil
War, France and Russia were not
friends, and for Russia to take the
initiative without just cause would
have been equal to challenge to
both England and France.
At no stage Of the war was the
blockade of Southern ports in dan
ger of being broken by either
France or England. At the very
beginning of the war England, tho
she hesitated a little, was brought
to reason and recognized the
Southerners as rebels. It is true
that there were some addle- Drained
Englishmen who tried to force
their country into war, but it is
also true that their efforts we're
failures. During the entire war
the British government was neu-
trail and by the very force of her
power she forced neutrality upon
other nations. What caused the

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

AS was apo 'nted, the Teachers
association met last Saturday at II sc
o clock a. m. There being only a
few teachers present no attempt was
made to render the regular program.
The subject, Teachers Sphere, -
was taken up and discussed some what
at length, and Col. Walker, who made
some very interesting and instructive
remarks upon the subject. They en-
phasized the fact that teacher has a
great deal broader sphere than that of
hearing lessons. -
Next came the question, "When to
Use the Rod, or Is the Old Corporal
Punishment Plan Best. After some
remarks by Miss Harper, Messrs. Bre-
land, Hit, Myers, and Roberts, the
house adjourned to meet again at 2
O'Clock.
In the afternoon it was decided to
have printed the program of the next
meeting, and that each member would
be furnished with copy of same at
least ten days prior to the meeting of
