HAD TO WALK IN
WITH WET CLOTHES

The Great Falls Tribune gives
the following exciting account OF
an accident that number of pas
sengers had last week while they
were crossing Flathead lake, in an
effort to break thru the ice and get
in to Poison.
Not until the return Of President
Harris of the Kalispell National
bank were the particulars of the
wreck of the steamer Queen, Oh
Monday of this week, known IL
Kalispell. The proper ice tugs
were not yet in operation to keel
the lake open for the passenger
boats, and on that date the passen-
gers on the flyer were obliged t.
transfer at the "Narrows' and
take the Queen for the balance OF
their journey. The boat was
known to be small and inadequate,
and against the captains wishes a
number of passengers transferred
There was four miles to travel be-
fore reaching Poison, and before
the Queen was we'll out of sight o
the Flyer she began to show signs
of distress. The captain headed
for the nearest shore, and wher
within about sixty feet from lane
the boat stuck in four feet of water
In the absence of any kind o
manageable craft aboard, with tn
fires all out in the boilers, it wa
up to the passengers to wade ashor
and then travel to Poison in thci
wet clothes.

.,o Fine for Cornerinx Grain.

A corner, as a matter of fact, Is al
WAYS a hold-up. It aims to catch the
trade at a strategical disadvantage and
make it pay a ransom. The principle
that the cornerer must not be too
xreedy-or too enthusiastic in preserv-
inx the precious wheat by cracking up
the price-has often been recognized.
The law itself recognizes the rather
~larcenous nature Of corners For a
good many years the criminal code OF
Illinois has contained a highly humor.
Gus provision that whoever orner the
market for grain, or attempts to do so,
shall be fined not less than $40 nor
more than $1,000, or confined In the
county Jail not exceeding one year, or
both"
Nobody, however, attempted to have
Mr. Hutchinson or Messrs. Armour
and Kershaw fined SO for cornering
Perhaps the severity Of the
punishment daunted them. That hu.
r clause still remains In the II.
Iinois code, although. probably, few
people are aware Of it.-Success Maya,

their unpleasantness for meal hours !;

discuss things that have gone awry,

Haven't you gone to the table %ravenous

few blame 1t on its real cause, which
is the interruption of digestion by men

Many children refuse to eat at table
because their hunger Is driven away
by reproof. A mother once complained
to her doctor that her small son had
no appetite; no matter how tempting
the food, he could not eat it, though
he seemed hungry between meals. The
physician asked to be invited to lunch,
which the child ate with the family.
At the close of the meal he said /:
ut is not your boys digestion that is
at fault. but his mother. Let that boys

with cheerfulness, and not only will
your home life be happier. but you will

The annual report of the commits
missioner general of immigration con-
tains a number of very gratifying fea-
lures and several very practical sug-
gestions. 1t is pleasing to note the
commissioners declaration that there
was a decided improvement in the in
tellectual and moral character of the
immigrants admitted to this country
during the past year. He does not say
that on the whole a better class ap-
piled for admission, though something
to this effect may be inferred. But he
lays special stress on the fact that
the lessened number permitted a more
rigorous investigation of general con-
ditions and individual cases by the ina
migration authorities and the resulting
exclusion of a larger number Of un-
desirable persons. This statement
points out the chief source of danger
under our present rather lax immigra-
ton laws. The necessity for provid.
ing at all times, and especially during
periods of heavy immigration, ample
inspection facilities is patent, in view
of the facts set forth. At times when
the immigration is heaviest the largest
percentage Of applicants who should
be excluded may naturally be looked
for, hoping to slip through" and US
ually aided by the not too scrupulous
shipping agencies. But whatever the
reason, it is encouraging to know that
fewer immigrants of a dangerous or
otherwise undesirable character are
being admitted. Taken In connection
with the adoption of the commissioner
Eeneral's recommendation for the ap
pointment of naturalization investiga-
tors. the situation is distinctly more
favorable than it was a few years ago.
There has been Z steady advance IN
the methods Of preventing naturalist
ton frauds and the more rigorous in
vestigation of those who apply for citi-
zenship will at least mitigate some Of
the evils Of laxity in the laws regu-
lating admission to the country.
