colony of Iceland. where the good old
bishop exerted himself to the utmost in

The Queen paid many compliments to
her host and having learned that he was
a family man. graciously inquired how
many children he had.
II happens that the Danish word for
"children" is almost identical in sound
with the Icelandic word for sheep" and
tho worthy bishop promptly answered
two hundred

Queen. "How can you possibly maintain
such a number"
Easily enough, please your Majesty,

ARE EXPLAINED
Francis |. DUPONT Gives TeS-

Hearing

NEW YORK. Feb. 1s--Trancis I. du-
Pont, of the T.. ]. DUPONT de Nemours
Powder Company Of Delaware, defend
ant in the Governments suit to dis
solve the company as violator Of the
Sherman act, was the principal wit
ness at yesterdays proceedings.
Mr.. duPont's examination had TO do
principally with the patents held by
the defendant, these, he explained, un-
folding the development of the powder
making business. One object for which
the duPonts strove, the witness said,
was to diminish the danger in the
manufacture Of guncotton, nitro
glycerin, smokeless powder and other
explosive preparations. He was glod
TO say, he continued, that dangers to
life and limb had been reduced to a
minimum as a consequence Of the cor
poration's experiments.
He declared that the United States
Government was manufacturing it's
smOkeless powder under a process de-
vised by the defendant company. This.
he said, had been given TO the Gov
ernment.

COLUMBIA FALLS
HAS A "H0LLER''

During the past few weeks there
has been numerous complaints
coming from the different towns
along the Great Northern that are
served by the fast mail train, on
account of the battered condition
in which the mail is received,
caused by being thrown off while
the train is going full speed.
About two weeks ago, at New
port, a pouch of Christmas mail
was ground under the wheels of the
train from which it was thrown.
Last week Eureka had the same
thing happen, when a lot of Christ
mas presents were smashed all to
pieces, and the same kick is coming
from Columbia Falls, who have
been receiving their mail in such a
condition that it is sometimes i'm
possible to make out who the
papers and packages belong to. =

HOW COLD WAS IT?

The cold wave that was predicted
coming this way did not fail to put
in appearance on schedule time and
made it rather uncomfortable all
over. The great change from
Thursday night when it was thaw-
ing, to Friday night, when it went
away below zero, made us feel it
more than if we had had a steady
cold. There is a great deal of di-
versity in opinion as to how cold it
really was. From the way most OF
us felt it was judged that it was
about 40 below, but the different
thermometers about town showed
from 5 to 10 below. 1t matters not
how cold it was, we know it
made an awful hole in the wood
pile and we don't know as we can
forgive the weather man for that.

How to Make Dainty Sandwiches.
If a housekeeper has grown tired OF
the conventional sandwich, she should
try those made Of salmon. They are
most palatable. The salmon Is faxed
and moistened with mayonnaise and
then put as filling between two ex'
ira thin slices Of brown bread with the
crust cut off. Sweet sandwiches are
also in fashion for luncheons and after
theater parties. The newest ones
served by a clever housewife, have 9
filing Of candied cherries chopped fine
and moistened with orange juice.
