THE JUG OF

Jackass brandy has claimed its Sec

Burroughs, miner of Gold Circle
turned up his toes yesterday, a victim
to alcoholic poisoning. according to
the verdict Of the coroner's jury
which examined the evidence. The
death followed symptoms of delirium
tremens and no more hideous a pass

taught that death should be faced in
a calm. dispassionate manner. after
having made the final compact with
God.
So far as Burroughs is concerned,
there Is little to be said In sympathy
for him. That seems a rather heart
less statement to make after man
has been consigned to his last resting
place-but any man who will touch
the stuff that killed Burroughs is bet

fiend who ought to be lying alongside
of Burroughs. thrown into the grave
with his boots On, with q coyote to
howl his last requiem and the spittle

and that fellow is the murderer who
sold Burroughs the poison that swept
away his life amidst the horror of

PAY DEBT
WITH SURPLUS

1t is reported from London that the
British budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning April l will include f42,000.-
900 for interest on the British debt
to the United States. That sum rep
resents exactly one ya1r's interes,,

will be very acceptable abolition to
the receipts of our treasury. But 4
must not be forgotten that there are
arrears in interest extending from
the spring of 1919, amounting to twice
the amount it is now propcs q to ap-
propriate. 1t is to be hoped that some
of the surplus funds now said to be
reposing in the British treasury may
be devoted to that account.
