L. E. Baker, the Northern Pacific
station agent is one of the most
active members of the club, and his at
tendance at the meeting was very
much desired. Mr.. Baker was also
interested in the proposition to be
considered by the club and was anx.
ious to attend the meeting-but there
was nearly car load of freight on
the platform that must be moved in
side, as the weather was threatening.

That Elgin had foresight and knew
her municipal duty, and hearkened to
the call is evinced by the magnificent
city park which has been laid out as
a part of the townsite. And more
than that, the park is not being al

Just twelve months ago the town
of Elgin in Mortol county, was Peter
Meintzer's farm Mr. Meintzer had
not even turned much of the SOD COW

He had it in mind to do something
with the land, but had not fully de-

One day representative OF the

Meintzar a fair price for his $50

 As. we passed through the townlet of Hukou on the Nadoo creek crowd was on the bank watching the maneuvers of two fishermen who were reaping harv- est of mussels and wrinkles. These fisher- men were dressed in flowing costume--a cowskin coat and stocking all in one piece, with their hair turned inside.
 The only apertures in the garment into which the wearers worked their way feet foremost were at the neck and the cuffs. which were securely tied before entering the water, into which the men waded up to their necks. As soon as their feet came in contact with any of the shellfish, which seemed to lie in beds, the fishermen loos- ened them as wei as they could from the muddy bottom of the creek and then brought up the take" in a grasp net.
 The men were emlnently successful dur ing the short time we stopped to watch them and piled up big catch on the fore shore
 Another sight which interested us was a novel way of fishing. Two small boats were moving parallel with one another about 90 feet apart The ends of line about 60 feet long to which small, un- baited hooks were attached about four inches apart to two sticks were held re- spective by a man in each boat. As the boats moved slowly along, first one man md then the other would give his stick jerk.

D., in describing some exciting incidents of the exploration of the course of the River Heath In Bolivia, carried out last year by party of which he was the head, were some distance ahead of the leading canoe, the oth having fallen behind owing to the diff culties of threading the labyrinth Of snags.
 "On rounding turn on the river we saw about mile, ahead a collection of newly made palm huts on the point of a large sand bank, and at the same moment heard an uproar of barking dogs shout ing men and screaming women and chil- dren, emphatic testimony to their appre- citation of their civilized neighbors. We immediately endeavored to reach the huts before they had disappeared.
 Opposite the sandbank was a red earth cliff, cut out by the river. and some 20 feet to 30 feet in height, extending the whole length of the sandbank. Against the cliff and on the sand were tied up fifteen large canoes and various rafts.f known as balas. With South American savages it is foolish to show any hest tation, so passing directly under the high bank we landed opposite the huts.

Berlin. March 25.-(Special )-Lunatics as Monarchs and Leaders of Nations" is the title of book by the famous medical specialist, Prof. P. J. Kovalski, the pub lication of which is arousing great interest in Germany. Being of the opinion that the authors researches on this subject ought to be communicated to the world, the conductors of the Medical Review" of Munich have placed the book on the market.
 A Russian version has already been pre- pared and translations into English and French and other languages are now pro- ceeding.
 One part of Professor Kovalslxi's new book deals with the madness of the Rus sian emperors, Peter III, and Paul T. A very interesting chapter is devoted to tho lunacy of King Louis II. of Bavaria
