The little boy twisted 1t again:
Don't you wish we had the gum"
NO" said terribly.
He was shocked to pleased silence
for moment
This was evidently good, but it did
not go far enough. Billy must know
what I would not tell. He went on
heroically: That's always the way"
he quoted gunner's aphorism- No
gun, game plenty. Game plenty, no
gum"
He had pushed me to the wall at
last. I took him so savagely by his
thin, beautiful shoulders that terror
flew to his eyes. 1 made him face me
/ think in that moment he feared his
first physical chastisement. Perhaps
he had gone too far with me? Per
haps he had been imprudent?
Papa" he said, "Im sorry!"
.'Boy,, said, 1--WE shall never again
kill anything God made. Do you under
stand?"
For moment he could not believe.
Then he smiled, laughed, and, with
his laughter, plentiful tears streamed
down his dear face. For a long time
we stood there, Billy struggling chok-
ingly with his laughter and his tears
for some of the WORDS which must
have poured from his heart. /, awk

For Billy was mine again, and was
his and we both knew that it would
always be SO now.
Papa, dear, le-let us gi-go up

He dragged me by the arm up to the
top of the bit-hillock where had flung
the dead bird that day And more

the little hand on my arm-oh, you

arms close about my neck and con-

Then, when the doctor was gone: ooh,

He said ndthing more. but led me by
the hand into the garden. At last we

Hoople. That night load of flax had
been stolen from Carl Schultz of Flora
township.
MIR. Dunlop learned that the man had
gone to work in the woods in Minnesota
and last week he went to Cloquet and
arrested him. He returned without re-
QUESTION papers. Yhe preliminary ex.
animation was held at St. Thomas on
Monday. Sevaral witnesses swore to the
positive identification and several others
were quite certain of the man. He told
a story about some fellow, named
Shorty" to account for the return OF
the team to Hoople. He was held in
default of 81 900 bail and brought to the
county Jail here. His name is Lonzo

City Election.

AT the ensuing City election Of which
the notice is published in this issue, to be
held on April End, there is not likely to
be much excitement. There are but
three officials to elect ut this election and
they are to fill the places Of the outgoing
aldermen, Messrs King Of Ward One,
Shumaker of Ward Two and Short Of
Ward Three. The Office of city alder
man is not in any way remunarative as
there is no salary attachment. During
the last year there has been an extraor-
dinarv amount of work placed upon the
Council and the regular and special
meetings have been very numerous.
There have been twenty three called
and regular meetings of the Council
during the past twelve months, besides a
number Of meetings OF Which no minutes
were kept, for the purpose of consulta-
ton as to impending business. The roll
call shows that no Alderman has missed
being present more than three meetings
out Of the total number and these are
mostly accounted for by absence from
the city and illness. A large part of this
extra work came from the rebuilding of
the burned district and the building Of
the new city hall. This is a record
which we believe om, citizens appreciate
and the work done stands in plain view
as testimonial to their exertions and
enterprise in behalt Of the city. We do
not know whether the retiring saldermen

Burglars Escape at Edinburg.

Our town was once more visited by
some crooks that are evidently experts
in their profession, last Friday right.
The store Of Skiold & Goodman was
broken into and several hundred dollars
worth of silks and other valuables carried
away.
This store was robbed two different
times last fall, and the loss is lite heavy,
perhaps about 81 900 worth of goods
stolen from the store in less than six
months. yet no clue as to who is or are
doing the robbery has been obtained.
No doubt the crooks will soon be
caught and as this practice is becoming
quite general in our town, our citizens
should be on the alert.-Edinb urg
