It is hardly an eXaggeration to say
that the Koreans are the LATEST peO-
pie on earth. All day long they lie
about the streets smoking their gigan-
tic pipes. A native pipe is a six-foot
length of bamboo with a metal bowl,
and is carried tucked into the neck

work of very nearly every kind is done
by the women, who occupy perhaps
the most degraded position held by
the sex of any nation. The unfortu-

WHO Is YOUR BOSS?

VINO is your boss? Does he go on two
legs.
Or is he the demon that turks in the
dregs
Of a roisterer's glass? Does he bide
from you far
Or rise in the smoke of fragrant
cigar?
Who is your boss? in your desk does
he lurk
To drive you all day Is it Worry or
Work.
Don't cavil, you rascal; you worship
some Joss.
Be it man, thing or habit Come. who
is your boss?
Who is your boss? Come. be honest :.
don't hedge.
Does it bear stamped eagle and wear
a milled edge?
Whose tag are you wearing? Whose
song do you sing?
For whom do you dance when they
pull on the string?
Whose brand are you bearing? What
cult have you bagged?
BY whom or by what has your collar
been tagged?
You may be the boss of some one that
l sing,
But this is the question: Who's pull
ing your string?
My boss? All, Ill tell you: slip Of
Who fetters my heart with the gyve
Straying down on her brow like a
thief gone amiss
On his way TO her red lips to steal him
kiss.
She scolds ME and holds me and
molds me at will,
Nor ever will my futtering heart be
When she brushes my cheek with the
whisp of her curl.
But who'd not be bossed by a slip OF
a girl?

Servia's Drummed Doos.

A curious feature connected with
the Servian army is the manner in
which most of the regiments carry
the big drum. 1t is not, as in most
countries, slung in front OF the man
who plays it, but is placed upon a
small two wheeled cart drawn by a
single dog, which has been so train
ed that it keeps its place even through
the longest and most tedious Of
marches, The drummer takes UP a
position behind the cart and per
forms on the instrument as the animal

Il have watched single robin at

known single bird to destroy two
quarts of my largest fruit.
They never stop to eat up a single

commenced to turn red on one side

My loss this season a very low
estimate was fully $500 on strawber
ries alone, and caused by the robins.
This is not the only fruit the robins
ldestroy. Their destruction OF early
cherries and red raspberries was
complete this season
As soon as the first cherries show

From ten 10 twenty birds could be
seen from daylight until dark all the

The great iron mountain at Dur
ango, Mex, may pass into the hands
of the United States Steel corporat-
ion. 1t is stated that representatives
of that concern have been making
careful investigation of the mammoth
deposit of iron ore, and that they will
recommend its purchase. The mount
ain is solid mass Of iron ore, more
than 400 feet high. about two miles
long and one mile wide. 1t is
thought that the Steel corporation
will secure the property and in due
time carry out the plans Of the late
Coils P. Huntington for the mann
moth steel plant at the base of the
mountain.

to the various precincts throughout
the county. Heretofore the city and

Duluth to receive the supplies but
since the change in the law, the aud

changes the manner Of making re-

in by registered letter instead of being
carried toDuluth by one Of the judges.
Among the supplies sent out by the
auditor are instructions to voters in
nine languages.

also mean that the corporation would
have to maintain force of employees
within the reserve to control the dams
and the water within the reservoirs,
and in measure have Jurisdiction
over the government of at least por-
ton of the reserve. In my judgment,
the government would experience
considerable trouble in its proper
government of the reserve were it to
permit this or any other corporation
a foothold within the same.
Sat present tie reservoir can be
reached by natural water course
from Winton, Mimi, by canal or
pleasure crafts, while, if the right-of.
way were granted and the water di-
verified. it could only be reached by
way of the Embarras canal, which,
in my opinion, is impracticable. For
this reason, if no other were given,
the application should be denied"

Of the beauty of the proposed park.
saying that in time it will rival the
Yellowstone. He says that to allow
the change attendant upon the con-
structlon of the canals and reservoirs
would drive all the big game, or most
Of it, into Canadian territory. Con-
tinuing the report says:
Further, this company has done
no actual work looking to the COM
pletion of its power scheme. except to
make its preliminary survey, which,
in fact, is mere imitation of the
former survey made by the Highland
Canal \ Power company, and begin
some condemnation proceedings. They
have as yet, not turned one foot Of
earth or caused one days labor on
any part of their proposed dams.
They appear to be still trying to get
hold on some territory within the
reserve and elsewhere so as to shut
out some rival company should one
appear, and to use this as leverage
in its state condemnation proceedings.
Il believe the department should
go slow in granting this concern
rights within the reserve. as there
would be no end to the trouble if an
attempt would be made later to term
mate those rights"
