Boils Bother the Dog

Boils are very common on the dog; when they do appear. poultice of some kind should, if practicable be kept con- stantly applied, in order to bring the boil quickly to a head. It should then be opened with a lancet, the matter well squeezed out, the part well washed with tepid water and then dressed twice daily in fact, treat the dog as human.

The first fragment to touch the ground
was eagerly sought, for he who ate It

was much pleasure in the baking Of
the cake. It was placed OH gridiron
before the open fire. and lamentations

been attended by quaint customs and

A New Years
Alleg0ry

A CROSS the snow ound earth the
n New Year s'cpped buoyantly.
n A splendid youth he was. with
radiant eyes. full red lips and
the star of hope set above his brOws.
Life called to him. called with .
thousand eager voices. and he smiled
a. he listened. remembering that for
whole year the world and the men
thereon were his.
Far away under the frozen sky .
blaze Of light shone like . jewel. and
he quickened his steps as he turned
toward the city.
And, though tho lights shone boldly
when he entered 1t, most Of the streets
were empty. Only a few men were
about, and as the wind swirled at cor
ners they ran for shelter.
In one Of the streets the New Year
met a woman. A dark veil 6uttered
around her, 50 that he could not dis
tinguish her form. but her face was
very sweet as she bent and clasped a
child to her heart. Tho New Year gave
her greeting.
"You are Charity. know" he said.
Charity laid her hand in his and
smiled. And. for all his youth, her
smile set him dreaming Of green woods
and golden sunshine. Of vague. sweet
things that were still unknown to him.
Indeed, so deeply did he dream that
as he walked he collided with another
woman.
Another woman!
A glittering gas moth this, with
pert, powdered face. carmined lips and
hard. bright eyes.
"All hail!' she cried mockingly. Il
shall be your constant companion, for
I am Sin. and where men are there you
will always find me-"
The New Year shrank back, and his
face darkened. But Sin pressed close

pered the newcomer as he bent over
the forlorn couple.
Silently the New Year walked alone
with the night and the stars and the
scurrying snow. And as he hurried on
the darkness faded into the eerie pallor
Of dawn. He stretched out his arms
and welcomed his first day.
CHARITY. Sin. Mercy. Love and

A shadow fell across him; there was

Early in May bids will be opened for the carrying of mails by aeroplanes eight routes, in Alaska and in Mas sachusetts between New Bedford and Nantucket In Massachusetts the aeropanes would carry mail from the mainland outlying islands across wide stretches mountain range and districts where merely trails.
 There may be htches in the plan For the New England and of the Alaskan xmum load of 5000 pounds is called for and it is not at all certain that American manufacturers will attempt to meet this requirement. If they do not the postal authorities will be helpless Congress twice ask ed appropriate $5OO00 for experimental work in establishing aerial postal lies. but has never com piled. The Postoffice Department was compelled to use the authority vested in it to make general vate concerns
 If carrying mails by aeroplanes be successful enterprise will probably estab- lished in many sections of the country the great deserts the of flying machines as mail carriers would expedite transport of postal matter to an astonishing degree
 If aeropanes capable of bearing heavy weights should be perfected. then would be hard to predict where the utility of such of transportation would end.

PUBLIC LANDS
 UNDER SURVEY
Further Facts Regarding Reported Applications for Withdrawal of Large AreOs in Western Part of the State

A surveying party under Alexander T. Harris, of the surveyor generals s office, has just returned from an ex- lion acres of land lying along Bill Williams Fork, in the western part of the state. This survey has noth- ing to do with a tract of l7 900 acres of land which it was stated the day before had been withdrawn at the request of the state land department which was contemplating the con- struction of a dam on the Hassa . yampa river for its irrigation.
 It was said. however, at the land department yesterday that that was an error, so far as it concerns the purposes of the department. The request for the withdrawal of that land was made by Mrs Eleanor | Whitman, whose father was the head of the irrigation company which un- l dertook the construction of the Wal nut Grove dam a quarter of q century l ago. When the dam was near com ! pletion il went out in a flood and many lives were lost along the Has sayampa for a hundred miles. That that disaster did not eclipse the Johnstown flood was because of the sparse settlement along the banks oi the river. Except for the population in the vicinity of it, it had the mak- ing of one of the worst floods in tho history of the western continent.
 Ii is said that Mrs. Whitman de. sires to vindicate the judgment of hei father and complete the work h' began
 In this connection a rather funny thing has been brought out, thu chariness of the government to giv' dam on the Hassayampa. The de partment was not quite sure that thu impounding of the waters Of tn Hassayampa would not disastrousl, affect the flow of the Colorado at tn international line and thus precip tate this government into disput with the Mexican government. Tn department, or the clerk of the de partment who raised that question is not aware that the Hassayamp is only a tributary of another tribu

The Execution of the Irish Leaders

All will regret that better way could not have been found to put down the Irish than the execution of it's leaders who men of talent usefulness and had distinguished themselves in vari- lines. But do that there is a better way deadly blow had been aimed at Great Britain. Whether not the blow was merted: taking the step they did is not .o be considered The eminent fact is that Great Britain is in a struggle for existence and the blow aimed at it would have been peculiarly effective if it had landed If the revolt had gained heaoway: if it should have been strengthened by considerable force of German soldiers it might well have been Great Britain would have been called upon to defend it. self at home and would have been compelled to abandon it's part in other theaters of the great war
 For months things had been setting against Br- tish arms in different fields. The worst blow of all had just fallen in Mesopotana in the surrender of General Townshend. Turks and tribesmen were threatening Egypt The British holding by pre- carious tenure their thirty mile line the western front against which any time a crushing blow might be aimed. In these circumstances the Irish rising stab in the back and Great Britain was called upon to take the energetic measures to suppress it and keep it suppressed
 There have been many Irish rsings but the only approaching this in seriousness was the French descent upon Kilala Bay at the time of the rising of the United Irishmen.
 The invitations of foreign enemies of Britain to assist in securing the independence of Ireland was far different matter from those hopeless re volts which were put down with unnecessary cruel ties that have stained the English and have
