 POtatOes-Christie

James Campbell Christie, F. G. S., of Cathcart, Glasgow, N. B., retired SchoolmaSter and science teacher, who left property Of the value of $15,OOO, made the foi- lowing provisions with regard to the disposal of his body:
 'I specially and particularly desire that my body shall be ere mated at the Crematoriun. Mary hill. I paid the fee in advance on February 2, 19O7-
 q wish the utmost simplicity to be observed; no hearse is to be used, only a plain carriage, or any simpler or less expensive way of conveying my body to Maryhill.
 'eI do not wish any one to waste time attending my funeral.
 ssIt will do no good to any one, the absence of the usual formal itfes will give poor Mir. and Mrs. Grundy something to talk about.
 a'I desire that the ashes of my body shall not be preserved.
 taThey may be disposed of by the Crematoriun, or used by any of my trustees or others to ferth- ize their potatoes"

What Seniority Is
 and What It Means

..Seniority' in railroad employment is dependent upon length of service. In the case of railroad shopmen, there are three main points of importance in seniority rules:
 |. Choice of jobs within,the territory. The senior workmen, that is, those who have been in the employ of the rail- tory affected (termina1 or shops). road the longest time, are given first choice of the better positions.
 2, As to tenure of position when reductions in the working forces are made, junior men are laid off first, and the senior men last.
 B. Preference in re-enp1oynent. After men have been laid off, they are taken back in the order of seniority. and no new labor is employed until former employees, who so wish, have beer returned to their positions.

OFFICERS FIND DIRT IN
 HOME BREW BOOZE

St. Louis. Mo, July 31.-Variety is the spice of life, the adage says: but boctleggers here apply variety as being the spice of liquor. Prohibition agents examining hum dreds of specimens of homemade in toxicants have found everything from deadly filth to animal life among the ingredients.
 In all containers of homemade "hooch" and wines dirt and impurities were found in varying amounts. In some instances as high as Is per cent of the contents was filth. One quan- tity Of moonshine was alive with reaches, and in another supply four dead rats were found.

STRANGE CASE OF A
DISAPPEARING CAR

Plains, Kan.-Sheriff C. C. Keller
and G. d. Nelson were called to the
country Monday night by telephone
message from farmer living south
east of Plains. The farmer said his
car had been stolen and that it and
the thieves were at that time not far
from his house, shot from his gun
or trouble with the car having re-
suited in the car being stopped in the
road. He wanted help in regaining
the car and perhaps in capturing the
thieves. On the way to the farm
Keller and Nelson passed the deserted
car, which was found to be truck.
At the farm, the farmer and young
man with him were still on guard,
and when questioned stoutly main
tanned that their car had been stolen.
A flashlight directed into the garage,
however, revealed the car inside. The
drivers of the abandoned car were
at length lured from their hiding
places they had sought as a refuge
from the farmers firearms, and told
their story. They were returning
from Beaver, Okla, after having TAX
en- a load of hogs to Meade for the
hog sale, Near the farmers home
had had trouble with the lights on
the truck and had stopped to rem
edy the difficulty when they were
driven to cover by the enemy. This
explanation having been given and
the lights fixed, the truck-drivers
continued more or less merrily on
their way to Beaver to get another
load of hogs.-Bucklin Banner.

ALLIED TROOPS
 FIRE ON CROWDS
ANOTHER RUPTURE LOOMS AS POWERS REFUSE TO QUIT
 TURKISH CAPITAL.
RENAL ASSUMES POWER
MARCHING STUDENTS FORM SULTAN'S PALACE AND
 SEEK REPUBLIC.

COnStantinOple.-T Sultans minis try has resigned and Rafet Pasha, | representative of the Ang0ra Nation ! alist government, has assumed power. | that from noon Nov. the administra- ton of the great national assembly of Turkey is established at Constanti- | nople. There seemed danger for a time that the radical forces would gain the upper hand. The Sultan was denounced, together with the mOnar- chy, and AIustapha Kemal Pasha was ! acclaimed as "our President" It be- came necessary to throw guards of troops around the Sultan's palace, within which Mohammed VI, now caliph only, is spending fearful hours.
 The, Turks have torn up the AIu- dania convention and gendarmes are moving into areas known as neutral.
 Turkish Nationalist gendarmes are advancing into the British Chanak area. The Kemalists have established an administration at Berjas. Hamid Bey, representative of the AngOra government, in note to the entente powers, demands withdrawal of the allied troops from COnstanti- nople.
 AS yet Mohammed VI has given no evidence of conforming to the deter af f0 rid Turkey of the high office of Sul- tan, but the quickly developing pOpu- lar movement may soon compel him, with the loss of his chiefs, to accept the inevitable.
 Students marched against the pal ace and riotOus mobs engaged in such manifestations that it became neceS- sary for the allied police to fire on them, several of the Turks being killed or wounded.
 The government authorities issued orders that all disturbances should be vigorously put down. The allied high commissioners accepted the new re- gime and there was nothing left for tue Sulldu lulillStiy Dut lCSiSAoliOh.
 Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier, real izing that his power had disappeared, dispatched messages to the repreSen- tatives of the sublime porte in the va rious capitals to transfer their ar chives to the representatives of the AngOra government.
 All the Turkish newspapers in their editorials comment favOrably on the decision of the AngOra government to abolish the sultanate.
 The Vart says that the memorable date of Nov ?. makes the situation clear and opens up new horizons for both the Turkish nation and the Mos lem world It adds that sovereignty hereafter will belong to the nation and twill not be utilized for corrupt ab- sOlutist clique, but for the well-being and prosperity of the present pOpula- tiOn"
