The Drink That Was Called Robur.

About forty years ago there was ad-
yertised on London billboards drink
called Robur, said to be good for every
ailment and. incidentally. the long
sought after elixir of life. One was
invited to send for free samples. and
its marvellous properties were the sub
ject of everybody's conversation. Ro-
bur might have been sold to this day
had not some one, without the fear Of
a libel action before his eyes. divulged
it's secret formula-cold tea enlivened
by rum. From that moment 1t fell as
rapidly as 1t had risen, for people
could make their own ROhur If they
wanted it.-Chicago News.

CITY NEWS:-
The Council Meeting

The regular meeting OF the
Common Council was held at the
Commercial Club rooms Tues
day evening. Aside from the
regular routine business very
few matters OF Importance were
disposed of.
An ordinance was presented
by Alderman Henry Johnson
providing for the shoveling of
snow from the walks Of the city
by the owners of the abutting
property. The ordinance failed
Of passage to it's second reading
and it will come up again at the
next meeting. While good
many favor the ordinance, yet
there is some opposition which
may develop more strongly be-
fore the coming meeting. By
the terms Of the ordinance the
city will only shovel the snow
from the street crossings, and
unless the other walks are
cleaned by the owners of the
AUDITING property the same will
be done by the street crew and
charged to the property owners.
The matter Of condemning
buildings about the city that are
out of repair and menace to
other property was taken up at
this meeting and five buildings
were cited to be condemned.
The committee will make a more
thorough Investigation and it is
likely that condemnation pro-
ceedings will be started against
a larger number. The council
is acting wisely when they at
tempt to clean the city of old
and dllapidated buildings and in
this they have the backing of
the general public.

The Rocks and the seaguIIs.

A Dover correspondent reports a Gu
rious incident which was witnessed at
a farm at Films Vale. on the confines
Of the borough. A flock Of seagulls fly
ing inland had taken possession of a
newly sown field and were pecking
away, when still more numerous
flock Of rocks swooped down and at
tackled the gulls. The rocks, being
about two to each gull, tapped and
rushed the gulls until they withdrew
to a field some distance off. The vic
torious rocks then proceeded to enjoy
themselves in the field, having first set
what were apparently sentries along
the side Of the field. 1t was amusing
to watch these sentries hustling away
any gull which strayed too near. 1t
has been noted by naturalists that this
setting Of sentries is in accordance
with the habits Of rooks.-London By
stander.

The Noble Life.

True worth Is in being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good. not In the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For, whatever men say In blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth.
There's nothing SO kingly as kindness
And nothing SO royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure;
We cannot do wrong and feel right.
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avenges each slight
The air for the wing of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of men.

The courses range in price from
So. 90 to $1,000.
In the past the numerous
correspondence schools of the
country have reaped q rich
harvest in selling their courses
but many now prefer the
courses being offered by the
University and thousands of
students throughout the state
are taking up work in different
lines.

Lincoln on Road BuiIdinu.

The pretense that it would over
whelm the treasury to engage in the
building Of roads is no more true in
congress than in the state legislatures.
IF one will overwhelm the national
treasury. so the other will overwhelm
the state treasury. Go where we will.
the difficulty is the same.-A. Lincoln.
Monarchs In Mourning.
Periods of court mourning are apt to
be regarded with something akin to
alarm by people in the official social
world, for court mourning means to
them submission to published rules
and regula tons, from which there is
no appeal.
In most eastern capitals white gar
ments are the usual sign of mourning,
and purple. is frequently in Europe
given preference to black. Mourning,
of course. is strictly enforced in the
court of st. James; also in that at
Madrid and in the Austrian court. At
the latter, by the way, etiquette is ex-
aggerated to an extreme.
At the court of Berlin, where cere-
mGnV is regarded as the language of
power, tie blacklist of mourning Is
worn during tbs day, but not in the
evening. The empress objects to black
evening frocks and insists on her la
dies wearing white dresses trimmed
with black.
la Denmark also black is not allow
ed, but the wives of high officials and
of nobiemen are permitted to wear
high peaked headdress when In mourn

GOES TO BABYLON
 21S5 B. C., FOR LAW

The legal code of the great Babylon King Hammuraji, who died 21S5 B. C., is one of the authorities on which Judge Muench, of the circuit court of St. Louis, Mo-, bases a decision by which he dismissed the action of S. year-old Louis Bernero to set aside the will disposing of the $1,OOO,OOO es- tate left by Mrs. Theresa Bernero, who died July 15, 1911.
 The boy is the son of Emanuel Der nero, adopted son of Mrs. Theresa Der nero and her husband, Louis Der nero. The suit was brought by his mother Mrs. Lorraine T. Bernero, of St. Louis, as best friend.
 Judge Muench's decision is that the child of an adopted child has no rights as an heir after the adopted child is dead. The relation of the grandchild to the adopter is contradictorial, he holds.
 This is the first time, Judge Muench

 The Telegraph creek mail carriers are having considerable difficulty this month in getting the mail through. When but a short distance from Atlin the dogs got their feet wet and were consequently frozen, the temperature being forty degrees below zero at the time. After some delay fresh dogs were secured and the journey re- sumed. On account of the great depth of snow and mildness of weather it is impossible to cover more than an average of ten miles per day.
