The Crookston Times sounds a
warning to the city authorities Of
Crookston, whose negligence, i,
says, in not fixing up the parks
of the city so as to be pleasant
places for recreation, is driving
the young men to the poolrooms
and onto the street corners, and
the girls to the depots to "make"
the trains. With all due respect
to the Times, and while hoping
sincerely that Crookston's parks
may be beautified, we are in.
clined to doubt if something
more than that suggested is not
necessary to bring about the
desired reforms. Young mer

their pastimes by a mere park
where they may sit around on
the grass and on benches on
pleasant evenings.

Overturned Boats.

when a small boat capsizes," said
an old river man, "the occupants
should not try to climb aboard, but
should lightly cling to it until help
comes. Even a light canoe will in all
probability sustain their weight until
assistance arrives if they will only
cling as lightly to it's overturned sides
as possible, allowing the body to float
In the water, which it will do, and not
under any circumstances to attempt to
bear down upon the canoe or to crawl
upon the overturned bottom.
"This is where the fatal mistake oc-
ours in nearly all boating drowning ac-
cidents. A single man with good
sized plank in the water can in his
struggles and efforts to save himself
push the plank beneath the surface Of
the water and drown then and there,
whereas the same plank will support
the weight Of three men who are well
posted and cool enough merely to grasp
it's edges with as little downward pres
sure as possible. A single oar has
saved many a sailors life in this man
ner, which landsnnn would grasp.

Jack Tar, HumOrist.

There's never any telling what our
bluejackets will do when "out for a
lark" A number of them were in
Londonderry a week or two ago, and
couple of them, walking along Foyle
street, noticed woman standing on
the footpath with baby in her arms.
One of the "tars" in passing snatched
the baby out of her arms and made off
at full speed toward the Great North
ern railway. For a moment the as
t0nished mother stood in bewilder-
ment. She then raised an alarm and
ran screaming after the bluejacket.
He was joined by others, who seemed
to appreciate the joke immensely The
whole body rushed through street after
street, the mother still pursuing. In
Ferryquay street the "tars" halted,
dashed into shop, bought perambu-
lator, placed the child in it and retrac
ed their steps at a rattling pace until
they met the Infatuated mother. They
then pulled up, quoted her fears and
handed her over her child in the hand.
some new perambulator, which she
wheeled Off in pride and triumph, the

against the trusts. In this letter to
the president Mr.. Merrick says:
I'VE would be pleased to have you

Destroying Money.

Paper money is nothing but prom
ise to pay so much coin. If you de-
stroy a five dollar note, for instance,
you simply release the government OF
the bank which issued the note from
the payment of the SIS in gold which
the note called for. OF course, there
fore, you are not punishable in any
manner for destroying the note if it
Is your own. There is no penalty for
mutilating gold or silver coin if you
keep it in your own possession, but as
you have thereby destroyed consider
able part Of it's value you must not
try to pass it at par after the mutila-
ton.
