SEVENTEEN BIRTHDAY

Just 10 years ago New Zealand first became a
part OF the British empire, observes the West
minister Gazette. Rumors Of an intended French
occupation and trouble between the natives and
the British settlers who had crossed over from
Australia were the chief reasons for the annexR-
tion of the islands. which was carried out by
Captain Hobson. II. N. on behalf of the gov
ernor of New South Wales. Captain Hobson
landed in the north island January 20. 1910. and
February @ the famous treaty of Waltangi,
signed by all the principal Maori chiefs. made

fiber is. literally speaking, sucked
away from the sand to be blown into
dusting and grading machines. IL IS
then ready TO be packed in bags for
shipment.
The most extensive scale on which
asbestos is produced is at the quarrles
of the Anal ga mated asbestos company
in the province Of Quebec. Seventy
per cent of all the asbestos supply in
the world comes from these five quar-
ries and in the opinion of experts the
WELD is practically iueEhaUstible-
Twenty-fve years ago the demand
for asbestos was very limited. the re-
suit being that the production was
small and prices low. But as the uses
for this only known fireprO0f fiber mul-
tipIied and the demand grew. produc-
ton and prices both increased rspilll-
In 1892 the great Canadian asbestos
belt. from which comes nine-tenths of
the worlds supply, produced only $1,000
tons In 1901 the production had risen
TO $4,000 tons, while last year it Eas
10 600 tons In the early DAYS the best
grade of asbestos brought $50 Ton.
Today it brings $500. r
Asbestos is now recognized as
necessity of modern life, and is used
throughout the world for fiTepToodn2
and insulating against neat and cleo

HOW TO CURE ECZEMA, PM
PIES AND -DANDRUFF.

We desire to say that when we
took the agency for zEMO. we were
convinced that II was a valuable
remedy for Eczema, pimples. and
dandruff. Yet. we must frankly ad-
init that Zemo has far exceeded our
expectations as treatment for skin
diseases. We are pleased to state
that we shall continue the agency as
ZEMO has given splendid results
wherever recommended. Our Gus
toners like ZEMO too. because 1t is
clean vegetable liquid for external
use.
ZEMO effects its cures by drawing
20 the surface of the skin and de-
stroying the germ life that causes the
disease, leaving the skin clear and
healthy. II does not soil the clothing
or linen and can be used freely on
infants.
With every purchase, we give a
booklet on skin diseases explaining
in simple words how any person can
oe cured at home OF any form OF
skin or scalp diseases by this clean.

VILLAGE STREET
Is WHAT TOM WILLIAMS MAKES
OF FOURTH.

Since City Judge ID. A. Cross has
rendered a decision that Tom Will
liams. the colored Democratic poll
tician. is entitled to sell barbecue
sandwiches under the present license
ordinance, City Attorney Arthur Y.
Martin will ask the general council
to remedy the so-called nuisance. i"
Wednesday afternoon the case OF VIII
liams, charged with violating the city
ordinance by selling on the streets,
was tried and Williams was dismiss
ed. For years he has been conduct
ing a portable stand along legal row
(South Fourth street) and 1t is said
he has a pull with the lawyers on
that block Mr.. Martin said today
he could not appeal the case until
September, and as the only recourse
he would appeal to the city council.
He laid the matter before Mayor
Smith today.
Williams is still selling his wares
and says he will fight the case to the
highest court. Mr.. Martin says It is
general nuisance and reminds him
of some village to see such a thing
operated on the streets, littering the
way with discarded scraps of meat
and bread.

Sometimes we read with startled
interest the achievement of some
half savage outlaw in a semi-civilized
community and wonder that such
things can be; but for pure amaze
ment America can still furnish the
best material, whether 1t be in the
way of useful invention or criminal
operations. Chicago responds with
man placed in jail for blackmail, who
continues his operations extensively
while incarceratedL Yesterday two
famous train robbers, imprisoned for
life in Leavenworth prison, held up
a switch engine in the prison yard
with wooden revolvers, forced the en-
gine through the locked gate, and
made their escape, though pursued
by guards and whole company of
soldiers. Don't let US be hypocrites;
who can withhold his sympathy from
the fugitives, and wish them the sue
cess their enterprise deserves?

The boys were led close to the

II is hard for a generation that

his point OF view, that recited the

to realize that Mark Twain, who al
ways had lived. as far as we are con-
|cerned, could not in the very nature

as long as there is youth in the world

oorporated himself that his children
might perpetuate him so far as the
income from his copyrights are con-
cemed; but the legacy he left the
rest of us transcends anything the
Mark Twain company limited, could
conserve.
The same grotesque inconsistent
cies appeal to the humorist and to
the cynic: but the humorist sees how
superficial they are, and with his
gentle satire he rubs them away, re-
vealing the sweetness and truth of
life underneath; while the cynic
takes the Inconsistencies seriously
and fails to see beneath them. Mark
Twain instructed while he amused.

There never was sting in anything
he wrote.
Twain's last days were tinged with
the sorrows that await all humanity;
he saw those he loved best taken
away from him. II mellowed him,
but he never lost his quizzical way
Of looking at things. His last work
was his autobiography, which he
published in serial form while he liv-
I'd. II consisted OF a collection from
his rich store OF anecdotes. He al
ways wrote sitting up in bed in the
morning, smoking. He never allow
I'd custom or conventionafity to in
any way restrain his individuality.
and his eccentricities were we'll
known and loved as attributes OF a
Ioyeable personality He was a COM
panionable man and had warm per-
sonal friends. to whom he clung the
more closely as time stripped him
Of his family mates.
He came home sick from the Ber-
mudas, broken and bed-riddem; but
his last message was that being de-
prived OF the companionship OF his
friends was his chief discomfort. We
cannot repeat with Shakespeare,
Alas. poor Yorick," Mark Twain
has gone to join her, who had shared
most OF his life. and the companion
ship of his young western days. We
are bereft OF his refreshing presence;
but he left us Huck Finn and Tom
Sawyer.
