Revs. Henderson and Swinnerton
exchanged pulpits Sunday morning,
the exchange being surprise to the
members of both congregations. Rev.
Henderson made the suggestion which
was readily acquiesced in by Mr..
Swinnerton. The custom Of exchang-
ing pulpits is good one and ought
to be observed more than it is
throughout the country.

!Ae supreme COurt ldSL week ahrmed
the Judgment of the district court of
Mile Laos county in an action for
breach of contract brought by Miss
Bessie Norton, a niece of T. H.. Nor
ton OF Southshore, against the board
OF directors of school district No. II,
Mile Laos county. Miss Norton had
taught the school in that district for
some time and she made a contract
with the district to teach the school
for eight months beginning on the
fifteenth day of September,
1902, but after the contract had
been made the board cancelled the
contract. Miss Norton refused
several offers to teach in other dis
tricts and held herself in readiness to
teach the school she was engaged to
teach. She sued the district for the
amount Of her contract and the case
was heard by Jud ge Baxter at the
September term of court in Princeton
in 1903: at which time he gave plant
if judgment for 29.37. The school
board appealed the case to the SUI
preme court, and with an adverse de-
clslon the district now has a pretty
good sum to pay Miss Norton.

Honors About Even.

In the meantime the Russian and
japanese outposts are in constant
touch on the line of the Choug Chorg
Ing, but as rule they do not come to
serious conflict, although a few sharp
encounters have tafen place, in which
honors were about even. The country
in northern Korea is of such nature
that the Cossacks are badly handicap
ped and are hardly so effective as
well trained infantry forces would be.
The weather is improving though com
munication is still extremely difficult.
The japanese are constantly improv-
ing the roads, and even though they
penetrate far into Manchuria, they will
not suffer so mucu as General Inuoy's
men on the marcn to seize Pingyang
last month.
The naval conditions are extremely
puzzlng. 1t is impossible to learn
whether the entire Russian fleet was
in Port Arthur at the time of the
last Japanese attack. When the Hal
nun passed the entrance of the harbor
