 When Byron Theodore went back to lis work that morning he worked with a will. He whistled and sang like the healthy, hearty toy that he was. It was only to his mediate family that he was Byron Theodore Lonsberry.

 After breakfast and when the milk had been strianed and bottled, Barndoor said gleefully:

 Libby looked at him in wonder but did as she was told. When she had dressed and come to the door, Barndoor was waiting with the clean dairy wag- on. He helped her in.

What the States Could Do to Canada.

TORONTO, Ont, July 5.-The News
published in bold type a sensational
article entitled Troops Along Cana
da's Frontier" in which a Canadian
acquiring information says:
People are arguing it would be an
act of aggression for Canada to buy
rifles and train militia of moderate
strength. Apologists must mean that
for Canada to make provisions for
her own defense if attacked is to be
aggressive towards her powerful
neighbOr. The states have no such
scruples. The government newspa-
pers try to make their readers fancy
that Dundonald advises building forts
along the frontiers. Americans have
on their frontiers something much
more formidable than forts. They
are quartering trained professional
soldiers, among the choicest in the
world, all along the boundary line.
They are increasing the number of
their troops. Small but efficient bodies
of regular troops at the present mo-
| ment are within striking distance of
both Montreal and Toronto. At Fort
Niagara are infantry, veterans not long
home from the Philippines. 1t is doubt
full whether our militia have cartridges
enough to defend Hamilton, and Tor
| onto from this force. There are also
| troops at Buffalo.
| NO one questions the right Of the
| Americans to place their troops
where they please in their own cOun-
try. 1t is fact, however, if a quarrel
rose suddenly and if the American
government were to act suddenly-as
| in the case of Panama-it could at a
moments notice launch an exceedingly
| formidable force at Montreal and
Toronto and possibly at Winnipeg and
| Ottawa. While our militia, surprised,
half-armed and destitute of ammuni-
| ton, was trying to muster to stop the
rush of these straight shooting veter-
ans, the national guards would be

TO SETTLE OLD DISPUTE
FORMER CONTROVERSY is TO BE
REVIVED WITH THE STATE
OF OREGON.
Exact Boundary Line Between Wash
inqton and Sister State Called
Into Question Again.

OLYMPIA, Wash, July 5.-The eX-
act location of the boundary line be-
tween Washington and Oregon, which
is so doubtful that it has long been a
cause of clashes of authority between
fish commissioners of the two states,
has cast doubt on the title to much of
the tide land islands in the river, and
has again cropped up, and this time in
the state land office. B. F. Houston,
an attorney from Tacoma, has applied
TO the state land commissioners to
purchase a large tract of detached
tide lands lying in the Columbia river,
near Astoria and known as Desdemona
sands.
The land has been claimed by Ore
gon, and that state has decided it to the
Columbia River Packing association,
the big fisheries combine of Oregon.
The land is said to be very valuable
on account of the fishing privileges
it carries. If sold under the Houston
application, however, the actual value
would not be considered. as the law
provides that detached tide lands shall
be sold to the first applicant at a fiat
rate of SIS per acre.
Ii is believed Houston has applied
for the land, fully expecting litigation
will result, but as IS per acre repre-
sents so small a fractional part of
their value, the lands are we'll worth
fighting for.
The fisheries combine has already
filed a protest against the attempted
sale by Washington authorities of the
land in question, and as the packing
company is not slow to eXpend
money in protecting what it believes
to be its rights, there is reasonable
expectation that the vexed boundary
question may be settled in the federal
courts.
The boundary is now defined by
channels which are constantly drift

Writes Letter to Her Husband Tell
ing of Her Wrong Doing in
Seattle.

| SEATTLE, Wash, July 5.-Livine
in fear for a week at what the conse-
lquences might be when her husband
should open the letter in which she
confessed her infatuation for an herb
doctor, Mrs. John Rees became insane
on the day that the letter was opened
and yesterday was committed to the
asylum.
A week ago last Monday morning
the woman was healthy and strong,
possessing an intelligent, clear
mind; yesterday she was a haggard
creature, with a wild, foolish look in
her eyes, unmindful of all going on
about her and in a semi-cOmatOse
state most of the time. Early last
week she told one of her women
Ineighbors that M. F. Young, an herb
doctor, with an office in the Pacific
block, when he attended her in an i'll

together in the little school in the
German village where they had both
been born.
To right the wrong done she wrote
a coherent, sensible letter in German
telling her husband of the relations
existing between her and the DOCTOR
swearing that the wrong was done
while she was hypnotized by the man
who advertises himself as an herb
doctor, but whom reputable physi-
clans declare has no license to prac-
tice medicine.
This letter she gave to the woman
friend, asking her to give it to the
husband last Saturday. During the
week the husband noticed that his
wife who is 81 years old, was becom-
ing melancholy and that she had some
thing on her mind that was worrying
her. Friday she took i'll and was
sent to the hospital, where DR.. Max
son was called to attend her. Satur-
day afternoon while her husband, as
he swOre yesterday before Judge
Bell, was forcing Young to confess
his wrong doing while he held him by
the throat, the woman was stealthily

With a tremulous voice, his face
covered with tears, wringing his
hands, the husband told how he opened
the letter with foreboding on Monday

wrongs. He went at once to Young's
office, where he swore that the herb
doctor confessed that everything in
the letter was true. Then the hus-
band sprang at his throat and the doc
