Daring Reseus by Heroic NeWfouna.
land Fisherman.
Sir Edward Norris, prime minister
Of Newfoundland. tells in the Wide
World magazine IL remarkable story Of
heroism on tile part of u Newfound-
land fisherman The name of this man
was George Harvey. and he resided In
n low. rocky island. few miles east
of Cape Ray.
In those days the emigrant ships to
Canada were crowded with passen-
gers. In the autumn of 1882 thefbrig
Dispatch. bound to Quebec, with 1893
souls, in gale of wind, struck rock
about three miles from Hapvey's home.
He heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat, with
his boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog, and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck OF the DOOM
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers, in Imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
1ren urged their frail skiff. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction, and the task of
saving those OH board seemed well
nigh hopeless, but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligence, seemed to understand what
was required of him and at a signal
from his master sprang ont of tho
boat and swan toward the ship The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back, but he persevercd and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth. and ut last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skiff.
and with the most laborious efforts ev-
cry soul was saved.

Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and

had these remains been exposed to the

Fortunately for the scientists Of to.
day. when these animals persisted the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. 1t

held 1t tight from mir and water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until It
became solid rock.
Some Of these remains, even those
of the Oldest animals. have been dis
covered quite close to the surface. This
Is because the crust of the earth is
like paper wrapping, folding and
crumbling under the pressure OF the
gases and fire of the Interior. with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down, so that the
lower strata of rock .are on top.
And it is the particular stratum of

Webster Freeman-Tribune:
The supreme court of Iowa has
upheld the town of Scranton in
its right to exact license fee
from the transient merchants.
the lower court has released
Hensen and j. G. Black because
f1ensen, at least, lived in Scran-
ton, and because they had rent
ed a store building in which to
close out a stock of goods.
The supreme court holds that
the fact of the residence of the
person in charge cuts no figure.
eff the business was, or was in
tended to be, intermittent in
character and not permanent
then the seller was an itinerant
vendor and not a permanent
tradesman,' says the court.

the term transient merchant
has reference to the residence
of the individual. 1t more

and met US at different stages
as we drew near. Margaret
was awaiting US at the door
with a good welcome. The
house is quite close to the lake.
It is a two story house of 16
rooms. The down stairs rooms
are ample in size and there are
plenty of bed rooms for a large
company. Toward the western
end of the lake, the Wis-Mo
club house has a large building
and just across the lake from
us-about 3 miles away-we
see the Chicago club house.
The Wis-Mo club is composed
of people from Missouri.
Tnere are a few Indian houses
scattered about. MIR. Signor
from whom Mr.. Tabor rents
has a house near us.
We are more than pleased
with everything and feel sure
that we will have a restful and
enjoyable summer vacation.
We remember our good friends
in Missouri Valley and wish
they could all be here.
