right place by a vigilant outside in
vitation committee. Never were
badges more carefully scrutinized on

notices were posted, word left here

Except to secure Harvey with his

The county treasurer has just re-
ceived 6 ,944.65 from the state de-
partment as Pennington county's al
lotment of the $405, 052.5O available
for school purposes. So far as this
county is concerned, this is about
$1,000 in excess Of any such var
rant heretofore received. This year
the largest income fund is available
in the states history and is due to
the increased number of persons of
school age and the further fact that
the superintendent is 40 cents heavier
per pupil than last year. This is at
the rate OF. $2.65 per pupil, and M
dicates a good school population for
Pennington county. The population.
for the state shows an increase OF.
.6,62S. The money will be very
handy.

Landseer Fresco on Hut

A correspondent of the Scotsman
points out that there is very fine
fresco by Landseer at the hut head
of Glen Feshie. The legend is that
many years ago the then duchess of
Bedford was tenant of Glen Feshie. and
her custom was to house her guests in
huts, instead of in the shooting lodge
One of these guests was Landseer. who
on q wet day executed a fresco on the
wall above the fireplace in his hut
These huts have long been in ruins
Some years ago steps were taken to
preserve the picture and the fresco is
now inclosed in a pretty little hall Of
vanished wood, known as the Landseer
hut.
The writer visited ii in July of last
year and considered himself amply re-
warded for his long walk up the glen
by the sight of this beautiful fresco
which represents couple OF stays in
the foreground, with hind and fawns
behind IT is somewhat damaged at
one Of the corners, but is otherwise
in good preservation.

Removal by Poison

In the middle ages so little was
known of toxicology that all sudden or
mysterious deaths were attributed to
poison; but in the light of modern
knowledge many of these. says the
British Medical Journal. are now easily
explained by such diseases as appendi-
citis or gastric ulcer
Even the Borgias can be absolved
from many of the poisonings laid to
their charge. Nevertheless, from very
early times in italy poison was a ia
vorite means of removing an enemy.
In England, France and Germany
cruder methods of vengeance prevailed.
and 1t was not until the sixteenth CEN
fury that the Medici introduced poison
ing into France
The fashion spread with terrible
rapidly. and poison was employed in
every rank of society to get rid of In
convenient persons. The art intro
duced into France by Catherine de
Medici and her followers took root so
deeply as to blossom later into the
black magic OF Louis XIY's reign.

the forest of Guines, few miles from
Calais, and We're received with great
enthusiasm, being conducted into the
town in a coach and six, escorted bu

a purse of 1850, and was awarded q
life pension of f40 per annum, the fla q
