SIXTY.NINTH VOLUME.

With this issue The Tribune enters
upon it's sixty-ninth volume. Through
out it's long career its files will prove
that it has been a persistent friend Of
Mineral Point and all her citizens indi-
vidually. The ownership has been con-
fined TO two families Bliss and Ben

they have conducted the business is for
the public 10 say, and whether the town
is better or worse for the Tribune's ex-
istence is a matter for the same jury
to decide. The present publisher,
speaking for self and others living and
and dead, can say that no semblance
Of wealth has been accumulated, but
something really better realized true
friendship. good will, confidence. With
the aim 20 maintain and merit con-
tinuance of these blessings, we wish

In a detailed rcpof, the statewide
vice commission named by Governor
Goldborough and appointed in January,
1913, gives some sensational facts and
features ~ the alleged traffic in babies
in Baltimore. The investigators report
that they found institutions in that
city at which the mother Of an illegiti-
mate baby may send her child and for
ever free herself from any legal re-
sponsibility for il. IL is said that from
eighty 20 ninety per cent Of the babies
so consigned die and are buried in heaps
in the ground. One such burial plot
was discovered which approximatcd
fifty-fve square feet, and that plot has
been tho burial place OF five thousand
babies in less than twenty years. The
mortality is attributed 70 the carly

There are many kinds Of rabbits
besides the Welsh kind and Belgian
hares.
The rabbit is what some people
haven't any more sense than.
RABBITS are great mathematician
They multiply with much rapidity and
are good TO eat in addition. Almost
any fried rabbit is big enough to di.
vide.
When we were boys, we used to lie
on our alimentary canals near the
root OF a tubular tree where a dog
had caused a closely-pursued bunny
to seQuester himself. and twist at
that entrenched wat till we had so
much Of his foliage on the green briar
we were using, that. he was glad to
come out and join the majority OF his
fleece.
This was rank cruelty from a hui
