cunfire and Rainfall.

Investigations to determine whether intense and prolonged gunfire really influences rainfall. as is so often as- serted, have been proposed by the Paris Academy of Sciences. Ioniza- ton of the air Is produced in various ways by artillery discharges, and 1t is regarded as theoretically probable that this may lead to precipitation in air charged with moisture. It is believed, however. that the influence could apply only to small falls. The effect of even great battles must be merely local. and heavy and prolonged rain can only be- explained by the action of large atmos- pheric currents.

Alice loves sweets more than her mother thinks Is good for her. causing almost daily crying spells. But now Alice has the humps. The doctor had just given her some medicine and, be- fore leaving. patted her and said: "Now, Alice, you'll soon be all right: just be nice girl and take good care of your mumps." She frightened up at once and answered: "I'll be good. You just tell mamma must feed them lots and lots of candy"

Look at that! Three inches too short! Where the Sam Hill, did these come from?'
 "Why, you've drawn them up too high"
 'Too high? Let out to the last notch. When'd you have this suit pressed" examining the dress coat and vest he had thrown on the bed.
 Today"
 Well, it's somebody else's! That fool taller got 'em mixed. Now we're in devil of fix"
 "Oh, Warren, he couldn't! It must be your suit"
 "It is, eh? How about this-'H. Gordon" finding the name on the tailor's label inside the vest pocket.
 MT. Gordon!" excitedly. "Oh, that stupid delivery boy! Dorall have to take it in and get yours."
 With anxious directions, Helen fold ed the suit over Dora's arm and sent her across the hall to the Gordons' apartment to explain the tailor's er- TOT.
 But the girl returned with the dis cOncerting message that neither Mir. nor Mrs. Gordon was in and that she could not make their Norwegian maid understand.
 Dear, wear your dinner coat" pleaded Helen. s"The Leonards aren't very formal"
 "The dinner coats all right-but what about trousers? They happen to be in style this year."
 "Oh." despairingly, remembering Warren had but one pair of trousers for both his dress and dinner coat.
 ''Tll see if can locate 'em." girdling about him his long blanket robe.
 "No-no. dear, you can't go like that! Wait. I'm almost dressed. Only Mrs Gordon's so pecular-I hate to go when she's not there."
 If it had been any one but the Cor dons, worried Helen, as Dora hooked her gown. Ever since the unpleasant maid incident, last winter, their rela- tions had been most strained.
 'sThe tailor who presses the clothes siClt tIlo oult WltA uc, SO yOu lAuSt have MT. Curtis" explained Helen laboriously to the Gordons' maid.
 "This MT. Gordon's suit ?" smiled the girl. "Yes, I take it in."
 "But I want the other suit! You don't understand. The tailor got the suits mixed" she began again with distinct, painstaking slowness.
 "Oh, yes, ma'am-yes, ma'am, I un- derstandl get you the suit"
 Helen waited hopefully at the door, but 1t was a blue sack suit that the girl brought out. Once more she ex- lplained that 1t was black with satin faced collar, and the maid came smil- ingiy back with a morning coat.
 "Know what time 1t is?" called War 'ren, appearing in the hall.
 "Oh, I can't make her understand"

 "Oh, I say, Blanch, I'm sure Mrs. Curtis didn't mean"
 I've tried to apologize" quivered Helen, but Mrs. Gordon persists in misunderstanding. The maid couldn't find the suit-she suggested that come in and look for it. I suppose 1 shouldn't, but
 "Why, that was quite all right" MT. Gordon was following her down the hall. 'Im sorry you've been in- convenienced. Wait, allow me-" as he opened the door.
 'Oh, thank you in murnured con- fusion. But I-I shouldn't have gone in while you were out. I wouldn't if I'd stopped to think" Please don't let it distress you.

The modification of that scene was still too acute; just then she could not rehearse 1t.
 In the rush of getting off, there was no time for discussion. But in the taxi Warren's keen glance rested ap- praisingly on her flushed face.

 Huh, that was a trifie awkward" Then with chuckle, "Must've given her jolt. How'd she take it?'

 "She did, eh?" angrily. That's put ting 1t pretty strong"
 That wasn't halfl Then Mr. Cor don came in, but he was very cour- teous-he tried to smooth things over."
 "Yes, I guess Gordon's pretty de- cent sort-but that's the difference in a mans attitude. You and Mrs. Cor don have 1t in for each other-you two are always squabbling."
 "Squabbling?" indignantly. i've hardly spoken to her"
 A moments silence as, swirling a corner with reckless speed, they just missed colliding with heavy motor | truck.
 Guess that did look pretty bad" muttered Warren refiectively, you rummaging around in there. Don't much blame her for handing it to you"
 "Why, you suggested it." smarting under this injustice. You had to have your suit-you said we couldn't stand on ceremony"
 "Oh, well, it's over now" putting aside the unpleasant incident with masculine indifference. Forget it !"
 "If only they didn't live on the same fioor!" deaf to Warren's careless phi losophy. .'Im always meeting her in the hall. And now-oh, it'll be un- speakable meeting her now''
 "Yes. you're in Dutch with her, all right, but what's the diff? Don't want to be too chummy with close neighbors anyway" Then as the cab lurched up before a pretentious apartment house: Hope we get decent dinner here not lot of fancy samples. l feel like some real nourishment"

 "Oh, not while they're out p
 "Well, if we're going to that dinner we can't stand on ceremony"
 "Yes, ma am, you come look-that'll be all right" the maid assured them.
 Reluctantly Helen followed her through the long, dim hall. Though they had lived on the same floor with the Gordons for over two years, 1t was the first time she had been in their apartment.
 Past the dining room, with the table room with elaborate, but unpublished fixtures, and Helen found herself in an overfurnished bedroom cluttered with cretonne-covered boxes and hand made knicknacks that suggested church bazaar.
 Maybe you find it here" The girl threw open the closet door.
 It was a crowded, disordered closet. The shelves were jumbled with hat boxes and the floor filtered with shoes and shoe trees. From a cross rod hung MT. Gordon's suits. Helen went through them hurriedly. A frock coat, a cutaway, four sack suits, an over coat-Warren's dress suit was not there.
 Maybe in hurry she left it here," suggested the maid, leading the way into the smaller bedroom that in their apartment Helen used as a dressing room.
 Here Mrs. Gordon's clothes over flowed the hooks and crowded the door. On the cross-pole hung her bet ter frocks on ribbon-covered hangers, and among them gleamed the satiny black of Warrens dress suit. The sound of-a closing door, and the maid ran out with an anxious, "Oh, Mrs. Gordon-I tell her !'
 Helen stood paralyzed Murmured voices from the hall. The girl was trying to explain. But the next in- stant Mrs. Gordon, looming in the doorway, stared at her intruding vis- itor in speeches. amazement.

 The coat and vest Helen had taken from the hanger, and now while Mrs. Gordon looked on in contemptuous silence, with burning cheeks and bun- gling fingers she was trying to free the trousers from the obstinate patent holder.
 As Mrs. Gordon stood haughtily aside to let her pass, there was a heavy step in the hall, and Mir. Cor don blocked the doorway.
 In unaffected masculine amazement, he gazed at Helen, an incOngruous fig ure in her airy evening gown, awk- wardly holding mans dress suit.

Eagle River Goes Dry.

All saloon licenses expired
Saturday night and in observ-
ance Of the expression of the vo-
tiers Of Eagle River at the April
election, no renewals were made
this year. At 1900 o'clock that
night all closed their doors. Mart
Hirzel paid off his help, and
closed at noon, ana then went
fishing. Chas. Zimpelmann and
Dave Setback closed at six
O'Clock and at 1906 Eagle River
was dry for the first time in it's
history. Although too early to
make any prediction as to what
the people will prefer next year
thus far no evil effects are ap-
parent. One of the best argu-
ments for dry town was dem
Dnstrated the fourth when out of
several hundreds in town not an
Intoxicated man was seen all day,
a condition that we venture
to say never prevailed in town
before, and impossible of attain
ment in any town on any day
which brings men together IN
numbers, exposed to the temp
tations Of socialbility and drinks
xnusually frequent.
We have read Ten Nights in
a Baroom" and have seen it
presented on the stage, and have
spent a good many intervals in
a good many besides, and in
Justice to the saloon wish to say
that we never encountered one
at all like the one described
by 7. S. Arthur, and never saw
a man there that bore much re-
semblance to his characters.

It's atmosphere of good fellows,
and good fellowship, in a light
we fully understand, and after
all as London said after man
has taken the full course with
championship honors there isn't
much to say Tor it.
AS the question is one that
will now be before the village of
Eagle River annually for some
time to come, and with the high
est respect for those who hold a
different view, We hereby an
neunce that hereafter we shall
be for a dry Eagle River first,
last, and all the time. We don't
mean by this that the Review is
going to be a violent advocate
for the suppression of the liquor
traffic. Every voter in town
can and will decide for himself
which class Of social surround
ings appeals to him most which
by the way, is merely the priv
lege that also extends to us.
