Hats Off to This Man.

In every newspaper we pick up
we're sure to find a lot of gush
about the man behind the counter
and the man behind the gun; the
man behind the buzz and the man
behind the son; the man behind the
times and tie man behind his rents;
the man behind the plowshare and
the man behind the fence; the man
behind the whistle and the man be-
hind the cars; the man behind the
kodak and the man behind the bars
the man behind the whiskers and
the man behind his fists; and every
thing behind has entered on the
list. But they've skipped another
fellow of whom nothing has been
said-the fellow who is even, or a
little way ahead; who always pays
for what he gets. whose bills are al
ways siened-he's a blamed sight
more important than the man who
is behind. All we editors and mer-
chants, and the whole commercial
clan are indebted for existence to
this honest fellow man. He keeps
lis all in business and his town is
never dead; and so we take our hats
off to the man who is ahead.--Ex-

Method in His Dreaming.

Apply the proper test, and super

among Canadian Indians, when they
dreamed of receiving a favor from
another, to apply to him for its full

conditions of the dream were COM
piled with.
A chief one morning came to Sir
William johnson, the Governor and
told him that he had dreamed that
His Excellence had made him a
present of the suit of regimentals
which he wore.
The Governor Immediately agreed
to make the present asked for, but
as the chief was about to leave told
him that he also had a dream to
the effect that the chief had given
him a certain large tract of land
of his.
The chief was silent a moment.
We'll. you shall have it." he than

Rucker Wins in Argument.

Higbee, Mo-. Oct. ID. Congress
man w. w. Rucker made "a rousing
speech here last night Ito a big
crowd. He attacked the Payne AL
drich tariff law. and showed the Re-
publicans had grossly repudiated
their platform by passing it.
Congressman Scott of Kansas,
who recently had the rollers put I'M
der him by the insurgents, followed
Mr.. Rucker. The latter made the
assertion that farm machinery and
almost everything else manufactur-
ed in this country, was shipped to
foreign countries and sold from 10
to 60 per cent cheaper than at home
and dared Mr.. Scott to deny it.
The latter, in his speech ignored
the challenge and failed to touch
the subject at all.
Mr.. Rucker was heartily congrat-
ulated by many Republicans. many
of whom, will vote the Democratic
ticket at the coming election.

NEW TREATY WITH CANADA
Waterway Convention Provides

TO SETTLE ALL DISPUTES
Rights of Citizens of Both Coan'

Waters Established.

effect the treaty between the United states
and Great Britain regarding the waterway
ON the Canadian boundary. The treaty was
approved by the Senate March OF laSt
year, but 4 provIso regarding the use Va

Marie made necessary further negolldtIohS
of Il delicate Diplomatic nature by SER
tary Knox. which have been carried TO 4
SUCCESSFUL issue.
In addition to establishing the righIs OF
the citizens of either country to the use u

for the establishment OF joint commission
consisting of six members. three from tne
United States and three from the poIiilh-
ion which is clothed with authority to in
vestigate and report on any question aris-
ing between the two countries aiors lher
common frontier and to hear and determine
any question whatever between the TWO
countries by the consent OF both. The effect
of this provision is, therefore, 10 establish
new tribunal Of arbitration between the
United States and Canada by which ques-
tons concerning only themselves may De
settled without outside Intervention Should
the commission be equally divided, the
treaty requires that the case shall be re-
ferred for decision TO an umpire. chosen IN
accordance with the provisions of the
Hague Convention of October Is, 1907. Many
questions are now pending between the t"o
counties. and. although the commission
findings are not binding on either country,
they will inevitably exercise Il strong tnfiu-
encc on the ultimate settlement Of such
questions,
Tho treaty also fixes a limit on the
amount Of water which may be diverted
from the Niagara River above the falls on
either side of the boundary for power pdr-
poses, following the recommendation OF the
existing International waterways Commits
sion for the preservation Of the scenic
beauty of the falls.
BY the terms of the convention both coun-
tries will enjoy the common right of navi-
eating all waters on the boundary line. Ma
tionals on either side OF the boundary en-
ioy. the same remedies in the courts of each
country as they would have in the courts or
their own countries were they residents OF
different state or province. 1t agrees on
al EQUITABLE division OF the waters OF Ene
St Mary and Milk rivers, partly In the
United States and partly in Canada 1t Is
contemplated that the future use OF the
