How Ono Got His Name.

"An example of curious Christian
name may be found. says a CORE
spondent, nearer your Offices than
most of the cases you have printed.
The facts are these. The father. of a
boy baby wished him to be christened
Thomas. The mother favored the
name of Robert. When they arrived
at the church the matter was still
undecided The father informed the
curate that the child's name was
Thomas.
"'Oh, MOI gasped the mother dis
tressfully.
THE curate regarding the woman as
the ruling spirit promptly baptized the
infant Onol

cook and Clean, But Not Built for
Somnambullsts.

The famous tree houses Of Papua
are rapidly disappearing before the
march of civilization and settlement
in the colony.
The tree house-a neat and well
built habitation, placed at an enor-
nous height among the branches OF
forest tree and reached only by q
swinging ladder-was primarily in
tended as refuge from enemies. Now,
however, that the government has
brought the wild tribes under control
the native prefers to live in a house
that demands less skill In construc-
ton
There are still many tree houses to
be seen, though few or none are be-
ing built In the northeastern district
of Papua (where much valuable sugar,
rubber and cocoanut land lies ready
for taking up) the government officials
on their regular tours of inspection
often sleep at night in the house OF
some hospitable native village con-
stable, who draws his ladder up at
shutdown to a doorstep so feet high in
the air.
These tree houses are exceedingly
cool, clean and picturesque, with the
roofs of native made thatch and walls
and floors of waited boughs.

Two r. r. Accidents from Storm

At Melvin sand pit near Crookston,
Monday night, a Northern Pacific freight
ran into work train killing two and in
juring one person. A heavy storm was
raging and the work train was standing
on the main line about to back in on the
side track. A brakeman had been sent
out to flag the freight which was due,
but the strong wind blew out his lantern
and made it impossible for him to light
it again. The freight came quickly and
though he tried by shouting to warn the
engineer he was not seen or heard and
the freight crashed into the work train.
In the caboose of the work train there
were eleven section men most of them in
the cupoEa. The foreman saw the freight
train coming and yelling to the others,
made a dive into the ditch which was
tiled with water; tie rest, except one
man followed without injury. The other
man a workman by the name of Hocken-
son was unable to get away in time and
vas killed instantly. The engineer of
the freight S. S. Wilson had his back
badly wrerched and suffered other in
imries. The fireman Led Haxgan was
not found sntil the following Gay when
the engine was lifted and the body was
discovered with the head badly bruised
showing that he had been killed instant.
ly. Engineer Wilson will recover. He
is we'll known on this branch Of the n
