The branch house of Morris and Co,

been located on williams avenue. fac

Planting Wild Rice
a number of sportsmen from Crys-
tai Falls recently banded together and
ordered 100 pounds of wild rice. The
seed arrived last week and was appor-
toned among the several lakes in the
vicinity. All of it has been planted

move believe that in a few years the
lakes and streams of the locality will
be attractive grounds for wild ducks.
Dividend for Depositors-
Receiver Tillinghast of the First Ma

nouncement yesterday that the comp
troller of the currency had declared
the first dividend in favor of the de-
positors in the institution, says the
Ironwood Times. The amount of this
dividend If fifteen per cent. and il will
be paid as soon as the cheques, which
have been sent to Washington, are

of the city and vicinity in general.

Dogs or ST. BERNARD PASS,
How They Are Trained Barry the Heroic
-Rescues OF Travellers.

The most famous Of the life saving dogs
OF the great st, Bernard hospice was Barry,
whose monument has the inscription:
BARRY the heroic- Saved the lives Of
forty persons and was killed by the forty

On one occasion. writes Father OAR
bellay in the Wide World Magazine, Barry
found a child 10 years old lying in the snow
under the influence Of the fatal slumber
which precedes death. The dog warmed
the child with its breath and then reused
II from sleep by licking II.
This much accomplished. Barry by lying
down on his side gave the child ar obvious
invitation to get upon his back and ride.
The child did 80 and was thus carried to

the distress committees of the local
