time He was ut Humboldt House,
located be tween inlay and Love-

Indian witness. There were only
two people at Humboldt House, q
mar and woman, who were rus
ming the saloon there 99and the two
were good customers. First one
was behind the. bar and then the
other. The deputy marshal was
not in drinking humor and could
not sec the plesure foa the party.

was TO have anything to eat, he
would have to cook il himself. He
took charge of the kitchen and
then found that the saloon was
closed until after upper and he
was expected to cook for the saloon
crowd. The marshal got what he
wanted to eat and when the train
came along, he hoped on leaving

rom spruce pulp. They are treated
with aseptic qualities at the mill be-
'ore being packed in cartons and
shipped to the various stores and in
these cartons sold to the housekeeper,
so the only thing she has to do is to
break the seal and the Jelly Jars are

may easily be thrown away at the
end OF the winter season, says the

ables the jelly to slip out as easily as
