regulated according to the weather

to be changed less frequently than
when more are housed, and the damp

by the chimney or fiue, causing a sue

Intakes, which are fitted with iron

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES.

The happy Christmas time recalls
The days Of long ago
When sleighbels jnged merrily
And all was white with snow
We rode to school on big bobsleds
When we didn't wade the drifts.
We did not spend billion then
On fancy Christmas gifts
BIZ got boots with copper toes,
Bright red scarf and mittens.
Jake and got bearskin caps
That looked like old Tabs kittens.
All the girls got pulse warmers
And home knit hoods and such.
To fll their wooden stockings
Didn't cost old St Nick very much.
our tafy was done up in plaits
For bDubons we boiled sap.
We all sat round the open fire
And made the popcorn snap.
Father got some homespun pants
And mother calico.
TIE Christmas Of ye olden tyne
would now be called too slow
For now the girls want Kohinoors.
The boys buzz cars TO wreck,
While mamUas want Paris store
And million dollar check
Poor married men Just ask good Krlss
Their Christmastide to bless
With quiet lodge where they may hide
In some vast wilderness

II Of DEAD PRIEST
WORKMAN DIGS UP BONES OF
PRIEST WHILE DIGGING DITCH
NEAR WHITE BLUFFS.
Remains Are Supposed to Be Those OF
French Missionary Drowned in
the Columbia in 1889.

PASCO. Wash, June 7.-(Spocial)-
While excavating an irrigating often
near White Bluffs a short time ago
laborer disenterred what are supposed
to be the remains of a Catholic priest.
Although nothing but the skeleton was
found, the robe which covered the
body was in a fair state of preserva-
ton and showed plainly the class to
which the man undoubtedly belonged.
The spot at which the gruesome find
was made is only a few miles below
Priest Rapids and for this reason it
is thought by many that the man was
probably drowned in the Columbia
river and his body afterwards found
and buried by the Indians of that local
ity.
Speaking of the matter the other
day. Monseigner Hylobus, an old timer
in this section and who is one OF
the best authorities on traditional his
tory in the Columbia river section,
stated he was positive that the man
must have belonged TO one Of the
bands of French missionaries who as
far back as 1899 made trips down the
Columbia river from the Canadian
bord ar to carry on their work among
the Indians an traders of the great
northwest.
Just how long the body has been
inferred could not be estimated but
people of this section have no remem-
brance of the finding of such a body
in period covering a great number
of years.
Under the direction of Father Fred
eric.1 of this city an investigation will
be commenced within short time and
if it is found the remains are those
of a priest, they will be taken from the
