Hellol IL has been long time since
we shook hands and said how do ye
do but we hope we are not strangers
OF course you know that your neigh
bors out here had the smallpox and
couldn't be friends.
At last we are free from smallpox
And how glad we are. OF course we
we are under loose quarantine,
but that is more pleasant than when
we we're guarded.
Some people disregard the laws of
our Territory aud perhaps they regret
il by now. They decided they would
go where and whenever they pleased
but we suppose they were little

Mr.. Mari returned from Kansas last
week to his fine farm. He chartered

his furniture and o:her useful articles
for farming. lie says Mrs. Marr will
come soon We are glad TO have him
with us again and will give Mrs. Marr
hearty welcome.
Mr.. Hester is quite sick at present.

We are glad to report that Mr.. Nit

We wish 10 correct some reports
that We haYe heard. IL was reported
that SO many Of our people had III,
smallpox that there wasn't enough o
well oues To care for the sick. Now
this Is certainly u mistake for there

A Fetching Echo.

'Tact often goes great way in a
case" said lawyer. Il know man
who defended an old fellow charged
with stealing an armful Of wood.
1.-THE Judge was very deaf and had a
habit of talking to himself. Sometimes
unconsciously he talked to himself in a
pretty loud tone.
Nov, In this case when the prosecu-
tor took the stand and identified his
stolen wood with great positiyeness the
Judge asked himself in a louder key
than he was aware of:
How can he identify this wood
when one sticks as much like another
stick as one egg like anotherT
''The tactful lawyer for the defense
rose Immediately.
"'Your honor,' he exclaimed passion
ately, how can this witness identify
his wood so positively when one stick
is as much like another stick as one
egg Is like nnotherP
1.-THE Judge turned to the jury, with
great start.
Gentlemen he said, you will ac-
quit the prisoner. That very thought
dashed through my head not moment
before the words were spoken by the
learned counsel for the defense. Yes,
you wifi acquit the prisoner. gentle
men. consider this direct interposi-
tion of Providence = Minneapolis

High Life In Toms,x.

Tomsk, Siberia, is not such dread
full place. A traveller writes of 1t:
"After leaving the governor we paid
visit to the shops of Tomsk in order
to complete our outfit. We were able
to buy apples newly arrived from the
Caucasus, tea from China-only 400
miles away and brought by sledge or
drosky by the overland trade routes
first opened by Peter the Great-and
many kinds of goods from Germany,
such as kodaks, Photographic material
and all kinds of up to date articles.
"We also paid visit to barber,
who could compare favorably with one
of the first class BARRIERS in the west
end of London, and was quite dear,
charging us shilling for shave and
hair cut l was in every way very
favorably impressed by the town.
With a population of about 10000, 1t
is as rich in churches and public build
ings as any English or American town
with five times the number of inhab-
itants.
"Moreover, the Tomsk university is
an imposing building and contains two
faculties-those of medicine and law.
This capital, in fact, takes the third
place in educational Importance in the
empire"

French Care of ohi1dren.

will not go into such vexed ques-
tion as the French theory with regard
to the limitation of the population.
Suffice 1t here to say that 1t is ground
ed, whether right or wrong, on great
and solemn sense of the responsibility.
of parenthood.
No true, honest, honorable French
man or Frenchwoman thinks 1t justi-
fable to bring children into the world
without having a fair certainty of
these children having their chance Of
happy and prosperous life.
For Frenchman to leave daugh-
ter, brought up in comfort and even
luxury, without means and the slave
Of destiny. would be crime which he
would regard as almost the worst Of
sins
have heard an Irishwoman who had
lived nearly all her life in France say
In good humored exaggeration that a
Frenchman could be tempted to al
most any crime to leave his daughter a

This primer for the use of members
of the National Association of Retail
Druggists is paragraph from IN. A.
Il. ID. Notes." a leafiet issued by the
association. The cipher code, 1t was
shown, works in this fashion: Each
letter represents the figure under which
1t is placed. For instance, the charge
for certain prescription is S1.35. The
druggist writes ''Pam" under the first
line Of the prescription. This sign,
like tramp's mark on gatepost, is
to inform the next druggist visited
with the prescription that the assocla-
