Again and again we have read Of

our own citizens, whom we know and
respect, and whose evidence we can so
easily prove.

for the sum of $1,000 90.
In October, 1911, Miss Mckenzie
fell ever some fire hose which was
stretched across the sidewalk at Sixth
and Main streets, suffering dislocation
of the arm and a sprained wrist. In
the complaint she alleged negligence
on the part of the agents of the city
in leaving the hose in such position
as TO cause the fall. The hose was
being used to flush the sewers at the
intersection.
The case would have come UP In
the fall term of court but the commits

of the hands of the attorneys and gave
Miss Mckenzie one thousand dollars

Damage amounting to several thous-
and dollars was done yesterday after
noon and evening when the sewer be-

that end of the city flooded the first
floor and basement of the Duncan
Schen Furniture company
The entire first floor of the big
store was flooded and the stock badly
damaged on that aoor and in the base

thousand dollars would hardly cover
the loss occasioned by the stoppage
of the waste.
Chief Anderson and the members
of the fire department worked until
late last night trying to get rods

lation of waste was forcing water
and waste onto the floor of the furni
ture store and finally stopped it by
stopping all pipes into the store.

MAKING SOMETHING OF LIFE
Real Joy Comes From Creating,
Though the Object May Not Be
of Great Significance.

While every man who makes a liv-
Ing is not genius. yet the real JOY of
creating can belong to each of us in
just as real and true a way. If we
put into farming. or banking, or our
school work. the sense Of making
something, we get the great pleasure
out of It. When we fill any task with
ourselves, We make something A girl
says, 4 made the room tidy" which
simply means she put something of
herself into the disorderly room, and
so beautifed it. After she had made
II tidy. 1t reflected something of her
self; it looked some idea OF order such
as she had in her own mind. A boy
says, 81 made good recitation in
school yesterday" and he Is right, for.
although the lesson was already there.
It had to wait for him to come along
and make it a recitation.
So 1t is everywhere Making any
thing means, no matter how simple
the task. that we bring out something
that did not exist before; and that
that something is to some degree like
the maker OF It. We get out what we
put in. II anyone wants to be miser-
able, the surest way is Just to do
things without putting his whole heart
and self into them. Think more OF the
mere outside OF the tasks, and they
are not worth doing. But once put
yourself into them, and all is changed.

Girl Kills a Moose.

Edmonton, Alta, Dec l6.-Felra b.
Plymate. 19 years of age, who came to
Edmonton from central Iowa three
years ago, claims the distinction of be-
ing the first girl to kill a moose in the
province of Alberta She brought the
big animal down at "a yards with a
single shot from a $3.50 rife while in
the brush, 75 miles north of Edmonton.
The ball tore through the jugular vein,
thus depriving Miss Plymate of the
opportunity of using her sheath-knife.
She was accompanied by her father
and brother and two guides. The party
killed three moose and two deer, also
several hundred rabbits. The hunters
report seeing tracks of bears, lynx,
wolves an dcoyotes, but did not sight
anything but moose and deer The
party tramped about 80 miles during
the expedition, which occupied a
week
