WEST POINT, Neb.. Nov. 25.-(Special)
The Sunday question, which has been
vexing the minds of our citizens for the
last two months, has been finally settled by
the passage of an ordinance by the city
council allowing business houses and stores
to transact business on Sunday between
the hours of in the morning and In the
afternoon. In the same ordinance the
saloons are absolutely forbidden to do bust
ness on Sunday and the closing hour for
week days is set at IL o'clock. Much feel

forcement of the Sunday law as applied to
the stores, the farming community con-
sdering It a hardship upon them to be de-
prived of warmth and shelter for them
selves and their families when attending
church in the city on Sunday. The result
has been the passage of the above men
toned compromise ordinance.

A Word to the Bows,

Here is a hint for our boy readers.
They are all interested Just now in the
Japs. They all know what splendid
soldiers the Japs make and what won
drous endurance they have shown on
the march and in battle. The Japan
ese minister in London says that the
sale of tobacco is prohibited in his
country in the case of any person un-
der the age of twenty years. the pen
atty being fine of So. and that parent
who allows minor to smoke is also
subject to fine.
Tobacco was put here for a good
purpose. Seemingly there are many
men who use it to their comfort and
without injury: but the boy who
smokes cigarettes. or who uses to-
bacco in any form. while he is grow
ing. will be the worse for it, and If he
uses it to excess he will seriously I'M
pair his health. If he does not weaken
his constitution.
The boy who wishes to be a strong
and healthy man will do well to learn
lesson from the Japs.-Alabama

A Cat of the Shows.

In the high land of Tibet and in the
cold and snowy steppes between the
country north of Himalaya and south
of Siberia, there is beautiful cat
with silvery fur and glorious bushy
tail that is marked with many coal
black rings. Exquisite shadings of
chocolate and yellow are drawn in
fine lines over her here and there,
making her probably the pre:tiest of
the small cat animals.
In general appearance and size she
is like our pussies. but she is savage

mems tht, have been brought into Eu-

for no hunter has been able to take
any alive.

that the pretty creatures will be-
come residents of the big geological
gardens before long. and they may
turn out not to be so hard to tame

Life of Arctic Health n

Prof. Mylius Eriksen in lecture in
Berlin has described some of the
queer things done and seen by the re-
cent Danish exploring party in the
north of Greenland. of which party he
was member. They reached Cape
York in April. 1908. Great cold was
experienced, from which the explor-
ers suffered severely. They rubbed
their skins with vaseline and never
thought of washing, because water
was scarce and because the accumu-
lated crust of dirt formed a good pro-
lection against the cold. On the jour
ney to Melville bay the expedition had
discovered numerous remains of
houses and stone towers and other in
dications that these regions must have
been permanently inhabited in former
times. AS no natives were found at
Cape York, the expedition went on
farther north and encountered party
of heather natives on the Sander isl
ands. Their stone huts were smeared
all over with blood and pieces of
flesh. and entrails were lying scat
tered about the floors. In the huts
snow was being melted in tin cans by
means of blubber lamps in order to
provide drinking water.

Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton says that the
evening before Oliphant's Mex was
taken-in the Boer war-a pretty
young Dutch lady came to him cry

calf from some soldiers who were

spoke fair English, with a trace, how

she had learned English. Then she
told him that ever since the Jameson

Ever Faithful.

In 1898 Henry Collinson was
drowned whilst bathing at Scarbor-
ough. His clothes were watched by
his Irish terrier, which scarcely al
lowed them to be removed. On the
day of his funeral the dog followed the
hearse to the cemetery and stood by
the grave throughout the service. Dur
ing the next five years the faithful
creature visited the kirkyard regular
ly, until. on the morning of Oct. IS.
1903. it was found on its masters
grave, dying. The depth of its grief
and love for its old friend and owner
was as beautiful as it was sincere. If
we may trust the poets, such devotion
is not unknown on the part of the dog,
but it must do humankind good to
read. mark, learn and inwardly digest
the lesson taught by this noble terrier
at Scarborough. 1t throws a fresh
light upon the thoughts of the collie
and Newfoundland of Burns poem,

Manslaughter is by no means un-

Again. if a young married man or his
wife dies the surviving party has the

he or she not be in position to guar

dren are never beaten or punished. no
matter how badly they behave. The
Eskimos explain this custom by say
ing that the children have no power of
understanding and therefore have no
idea of wrong and punishment.

favor conferred on them in having in
their community fine old lady who
has rounded cut the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial Of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated

CHOPPING A MAN DOWN

There is nothing that so cheers the
heart of the lumberman as to play
practical joke on one whom he calls
'greenhorn." or, in other words, any
one unused to the ways of lumber
camp. One of the hardest and most
dangerous, although it is the most ad-
mired, writes Charles G. d. Roberts
in Around the Campfire is that
known as 'chopping him down.
This means, in word. that the
stranger in camp is invited to climb
enjoy a remarkable view. No sooner
has he reached the top, than two or
three vigorous axmen attack the tree
at its base. Long before he can reach
the ground. the tree begins to topple.
AS general rule the heavy branches
so break the fall of the tree that tt =
victim finds himself uninjured. There
are cases, however. where men have
been crippled for life
Mr.. Roberts gives an experience of
his own which did not come out ex-
actly as the lumberman expected

Hothouse Plants.

The following abstract from the
Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic in regard to
one of the worst evils of modern child
life is very timely:
Refinement in matters of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
finement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint OF the
physician and of the anthropologist.
it is a question whether the physical
side of mankind is improving or de-
generating.
The method of br mging up chill
dren, especially in the families Of the
well.to-do, is too often a serious men
ace to the child's health and develop
ment Too much indoor life, too
much supervision. too little freedom
of motion AMI will is undoubtedly the
cause of the many weaklings seen in
the families of the wealthy. Such chill
dren have the characteristics of hot
house plants.
The remedy is, of course. to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself. have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only temporary helps for child
weakness.
Nature is its own best doctor. and
in the end can take care of "hothouse
children if fond parents will only
give her the chance.
