Quite a number of people from
Tabor and vicinity attended the
funeral of the late John Bouza
held in Tyndall on Tuesday last.
Rev. Father Bouska and a con-
tingent of our school being among
their number.
VIM. Glynn, democratic candi-
date for the important Office of
county commissioner, has spent
almost his entire life in Bon
Homme county. No more COM
petent or popular resident could
have been chosen. Mr.. Glynns'
familiarity with the people and
enthusiasm in doing all that he
undertakes in the best possible
manner, combine to make him an
exceptionally strong candidate.
He is just the man the people
want and we confdentially expect
him to be elected.
That word 'Bolter" as applied
to politics in Bon Homme county
is the last that straight republic
can editors should foist and the
records ct the past make it APP
pear ridiculous to be continually
harping on boiling. The undis-
guised fact is that all the boiling
that has been or will be done by
the honorable voters of our
county is to uphold the integrity
of the ballot, to declare for a
majority rule, to decry what is
unclean and impure. In short,
to support the constitution of
the United States and stand firm
ly behind the impregnible fort
ress of decency and truth.

The French Old Age Society.

The Bouir dc Neige society Of
France is an association with 600
branches in France and the colonies
and a membership Of 100000. 1t
is an institution for providing old
ace pensions. The state grants ~
per cent interest on the society's de-
posts and allows it a subsidy of
14,000 francs al year. The society
guarantees a maximum pension OF
800 francs (&,2) to every member
on his reaching the age of fifty. y
workman who begins to pay his
small minimum contribution every
month from his twenty-IlrSt year =
assured of a substantial pension at
an age which under healthy condi-
tions of existence would be a little
removed beyond the prime of life.
The scheme in full working order
implies contributions of three kind-
contributions by the workman,
by his employer and by the state.

BarnstapIe Fair.

An annual fair at Barnstaple, Eng
hnd, has been held for hundreds OF
years. 1t was originally held in July,
but the time was altered to September
by a charter granted by Queen Mary.
Barnstaple fair is inaugurated with
ceremony in the town hall, where
special meeting of the town council is
held and spiced ale and toast prepared
in the council chamber by the beadles
and mace bearers) are dispensed to all
who crowd the building. Appropriate
toasts are proposed and speeches made
by the local member of parliament and
others, after which the mayor proceeds
in procession to three points Of the
town, at each of which Is read his proc
lamation opening the fair and enjoin-
ing all concerned to keep the peace dur
ing its continuance. Not until this
ceremony has been performed can the
business and fun Of the fair proceed
On the Inauguration Of the fair huge
stuffed white glove, adorned with flow
ers, is thrust on a pole from one Of the
upper windows of the town hall and
remains in evidence during the contin-
uance of the festival as the symbol OF
open handed welcome.

welfare of the people. Every seagoin2
vessel that can be controlled by the 10

AN ODD EXPERIENCE.

An instance where a pumper
walked mile and a half through
the snow on a recent cold night to
look after lead lines on lease, be.
Ing sound asleep at the time, Is re.
lated as follows by the Bolivar, N
Y. Breeze: "John Mix, of Bolivar,
pumper on the Haely, Gavin &
Gllligyn lease at Kossuth, mile
and half from Bolivar, had queer
experience one cold night recently.
He woke up at one O'Clock in the
morning to find himself digging In
the snow on the lease to find lead
line stop, having gotten up out Of
bed, dressed and ran nearly all the
way to the lease In his sleep. Some
of the tracks In the snow up The
hill were farther apart than he
could step when awake, and when
he awoke the sweat was pouring
down his face. The explanation Is
that his son had pumped In his
place the day before and all the
evening he. worried for fear the
lead line had not been properly
drained and might freez= up, as the
weather had suddenly turned cold.
After he went to bed he still wor-
ried and at last he was moved by
some strange power to get up In
his sleep and 60 to the lease to see
If everything was. all right. AS he
slept alone, he disturbed no one In
leaving the house. He says that
when he awoke he had queer
feeling that could not be shaken off
for some minutes"

A January Thaw

There Is not always a "thaw" In
January, nor do all springlike days
In winter come In January. AS
the old.fashioned almapacs would
put 1t, scattering the words down
the page January: About this
time--expect- several warm days.
Even If "about this time" were the
last of February, the country peo-
pie wonld regard 1t as "our Janu-
ary thaw." The FIRST of these warm
DAYS Is often cloudy ard so misty
and cloudy that the ground seems
to steam. The snow that may have
fallen two or three weeks ago IS
nearly all melted, Then how slushy
1t isl-how "disagreeable getting
about" the older folks would say.
But the.farmer In new rubber boots
going to and fro from house to barn
there Is q fascination In wading
through the soft mixture.
Indeed, 1t Is evident that all
Young folks know how to make the
best Of many things that older per
sons call disagreeable. Some one
has said thatIeverything Is fish,
that comes to the net of the natur-
alist," meaning that the naturalist
takes an interest In all that he OBJ
serves In nature. And everything
seems to be fun that comes within
the experience of the young folks,
because they see only the bright
side of life.
Not only the boys, but the geese.
enjoy such wading. At the edge OF
a pool they search for the grass
that the protecting blanket of snow
may have kept fresh and green-a
bit of spring In midwinter.
On such a warm day as this the
brook looks like battlefield where
have struggled the forces of heat
ard cold. Blocks of Ice lie broken
and crushed beside the plunging,
foaming water. In this ravine
we fnd spring strangely In
termingled with winter. Rushing
down the brook are miniature Ice
bergs, and bordering Its banks are
PIANO .amas of artic Ice fields. Yet
on tie hillside grass peeps green
above the snow, In small branch
of the brook Is the watercress
which Thoreau observed on a mid
winter day. las green as ever wav-
Ing In the stream as In summer.
If we follow this little branch to
Its source we shall fud spring by
which Is the stitchwork with lis
frost bitten but wide.open buds.
Here Is summer indeed, strangely
mixed with winter. as~rzx1.s
A similar mingling of autumn
bloom with midwinter surround
ings Is afforded by the witch-hazel
with It's feathery yellow flowers, as
10 late autumn, but they now seem
weird and uncanny as they cling to
leafless twigs. Autumn as well as
spring seems to say, "You can't
wholly overcome me, old winter "

The railroads had refusod 20 pay n
