According to Dr. Bull, the typhoid

According to Dr. Bull, the typhoid situation was unchanged today. Sus- p1clous cases of sickness which have been occupying the attention of the physician for the past few days. Dr. Bull stated, do not appear to be posi- tive and the theory that the patients are suffering from illness of a char acter other than typhoid is becoming strengthened
 The fact that no new positive cases Of typhoid have developed" in several days gives considerable encourage- ment to the doctors and the towns people in general. and supports the belief that the epidemic probably reached it's crest last week
 Victims, who are in hospitals re- ceiving treatment for the disease, re- main seriously i'll. Today it was re- ported that their condition showed no material changes.

Water Seems O. K.

While the state bactereologist, who is working under the direction of the state board of health, nas not as yet completed his examination of samples of the reservoir water a partial re- port of his investigation, submitted by Chairman Black to Health Officer J. N. Bull. tends to discourage the be- lief held by some that the typhoid epidemic may have had it's source in Crystal Lake.
 The report. though incomplete as yet indicates that the water supplied to the townspeople from the reservoir contains no impurities that would cause disease. Samples of the water were taken when the outbreak of typhoid was first discovered, although the health authorities at no time gave much credence to the suspicion that the germs came from the reservoir evidence from the first having pointed to other sources of contamination they decided to have an analysis made to make certain as to the purity of the water.

 Christmas Spirit Here.
 That the Christmas spirit has al- ready been felt by the children about the town may become generally known by taking a look into the mail at the KensingtOn post office where there are any number of letters addressed to Santa Claus.

One little fellow wishes the merry old saint a "Very Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy, Happy New Year,, after which he se- lects the few things that he consid- CTS appropriate for the Old Fellow from the North Pole to deliver.

VASTNESS OF GREENLAND.
This Ice Crowned Island Is as Big as
 Mexico or Alaska.

Greenland is the largest Island in the world. Its total length from Cape Farewell, its southern extremity in GO degrees north latitude. to Cape Morris K. Jesup, its northern extremity In S3Ia degrees north latitude, Is in round numbers 1,5O0 miles. almost exactly the same as the length of the United States on the nincty-Seventh meridian, from the mouth of the Rio Grande to where our northern boundary crosses the Red River of the North. The great est width of Greenland Is about the same as the distance from New York to St. Louis.
 In regard to its area the figures of various authorities vary widely. It may be sufficient to say that it can be grouped in size with the United States east of the Mississippi, Alaska, Mexi- co, Colombia, Persia. Portuguese West Africa and Turkey in Asia.
 Its interior Is covered with a great sheet of ice rising to elevations of probably 10000 feet ill places and sev- eral thousand feet in thickness. The available ice free land is strip of varying width along the coast, inter- sected by numerous deep fiOrds.
 When one turns the pages of Ameri- can arctic exploration Greenland is found more or less intimately associat- ed during over sixty years with all American expeditions, except the Jeannette expedition.
 Americans have lifted nearly all of its northwestern and northern coasts out of the arctic night and fog and have twice crossed its northern part. American names stud its coasts, and the name of an American marks its northern extremity, the most northern known land in the world.-Rear Ad. miral Peary in New York Times.

FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS.
Gsms For Which We Are Indebted to
 Rev. Edward Young.

Among the older English poets sen. tentious quotations from whom have passed into the very warp and wool of our daily speech. the first place, of course. belongs to Shakespeare. The second belongs to Pope and the third not to Milton or Dryden, but to the Rev. Edward Young. whose Night Thoughts" lay on the reading tables of the pious ancestors of those of US who had them. Young has been called Pope in woOlen stockings" Perhaps he would be more accurately described as Pope in cassoCk and bands.
 To him Is due the possession by al most every one of the knowledge that "Procrastlnation is the thief of time" that "we take no note of time but from Its loss" that we should be wise to- day-'tis madness to defer" that "at thirty man suspects himself fool, knows it at forty and reforms his plan," that none the less "a fool at forty Is a fool indeed" that "all men think all things mortal but them selves" that blessings brighten as they take their flight" that man wants but little, nor that little long" (echoed by Goldsmith), that "by night an atheist half believes d God" that "Death loves a shining mark" that "pygmles are pygmies still, though perched on Alps" that "all may do what has by man been done," that "the man that blushes is not quite a brute," that "too low they build who build beneath the stars" that "an un- devout astronomer is mad" that none think the great unhappy but the great" and that "fondness for fame is avarice of air"
 "Iusatiate archer. would not one sui flce7" is a familiar query which he arst propounded. The very first line of the first Night in which he achieved his funeral thoughts, Tired natures sweet restorer, balmy sleep" has of- ten been repeated as Shakespeare's- no doubt by confusion with Macbeth's eulogy of the sleep he had murdered.- Philadelphia Ledger.

THE DEAD EMPEROR

Ending Q long reign marked by many struggles, and at the moment when his country. beset by enem- ies. vas fighting for its existence, the aged Emperor Francis Joseph Of Austrta-Hungary folded his weary arms and passed away. To- day young Charles Francis, grand nephew of the dead sovereign, oc- cluies his place at the head of the dua, monarchy.
 If there is any dependence to be place upon astrOlogy, them Francis Joseph must have been born under aa uul.cky star. His sixty-eight years Of royal rule were marked by the murder. suicide, death by acci- dent, and by mysterious disapp auce, of those he held most dear. ills only son was the victim Uf a mysterious tragedy; his wife was brought to an end by the assas- sins knife. Then came the asSas- stuat:on of his heir, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and his arch ducLeS2, in Bosnia, June 2S, 1914, fae primal cause of the present great European war.
 Francis Joseph brought on the final clash of arms, following; his proclamation dated July 2S, 1914, when he wrote that the "intrgues of a malevolent opponent compel ne. in defense Of the honor of my monarchy, to grasp the sword, af- tor long years Of peace And when the old man finally came to die nearly five million lives had been sacrificed to his sword grasp ing. and the end Is not yet.
 II there is life beyond the grave, as We must believe, then to this deceased monarch death is only a reunion with those he loved Af- t~r eighty-six long years of life, and sixty eight of kinshtp, he had out lived his family, his old friends and his generation and his thoughts must long have been with those who had passed, rather than with the strangers of another genera ticn surrounding him.
 The romp and power and dignity of earth availed this man nothing. All Of these beyond the ordinary were his; yet sorrow and tribula- ti7n and human misery beyond mea sure accompanied them. Rather had he been a peasant, a plowman, au humble labOrer in the fields, than this Izingly man of sorrows who nas just passed. = Seattle PI.
