From thu Press:

From the Press:
The saloon keepers held meeting
this week and agreed to close the ir
places at twelve SATURDAY. night and
remain closed until ooe Sunday af-
ternoOn.
Bernard Hoffman won the Press
guessing contest on the opening OF
navigation, his guess being April l6
and the closest to the date Of open
ing which was the 14th.
James Haroert at one time resi-
dent of Bayfield,. was elected mayor
of Kalispel, Montana, at the spring
election. Those who remember Mr..
Harbert are glad to haer of his sue
cess.
T. J. Stevenson was up from Min
neapolis the first of the week looking
after real estate in interests. Mr..
Stevenson will visit Bayfield, and
Cornucopia once week during the
summer. His faith in the future of

he left LaPoint for Bayfield, and
when about half way across the boat

Where Four States Meet.

It is odd to reflect that it is pos
sibe for one to be in four states at
the same time. Yet there is one
such spot in the United States.
CHANGING at a map of the United
States, one finds an intersection be-
tween two straight lines, where
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona meet. The place is not
often visited, as it is not easily
reached. The stone erected by gov
eminent surveyors is on the top OF
a spur in the Carriso mountains.
The nearest railway town is Man
cos, Colo, nearly a hundred miles
from the 'Ffour corners" The re-
gion about was once densely popu-
lated by cliff jewellers, but there are
now no human beings within miles.
Some years ago the Indians Destroy
ed the boundary shaft. 1t was not
replaced until 1904, probably be-
cause long time elapsed before the
authorities knew the old one had
been wrecked.

A COSTLY NAP.
SIumber That Led to the Death Of
King Charles |.

King Charles |.
In the middle Of HOlbOrn once stood
an inn, the George and Blue Boar, and
there took place an incident which en-
tirely changed the whole tale Of Eng
lands history.
AS twilight was falling in October,
1913. a very tired post boy mounted
ON a sweating horse pulled up outside
the old inn The lad knew nothing of
the importance of the letters which lay
in his post bag. His orders were to
convey them to a point on the Great
North road, where he would be met by
other messengers.
But Cromwell's spies had followed
him from the south coast, for eng
lands liberty depended upon his dis
patches miscarrying. The boy had
some supper and afterward fell asleep,
his head pillowed on his post bag.
While he slept Cromwell's men took
the bag and found in it letter from
King Charles 1. to the Scottish gener-
ais arranging for his rescue, an imme-
date advance on London and the ar
rest and execution of Cromwell and his
friends That same evening Cromwell
had the fatal letter and determined on
Charles death.-London Tit-Bits.

CIothinu In China

In winter throughout the cold lati-
tudes of China the Chinese of all
classes wear fur. wool or hair lined
garments. Even the cody labore.s
have their sheep or goat skins, and
people of the middle and official
classes have many sets of garments
lined with the richest furs. In China
houses are rarely heated to the winter
