over their fuces; but they fled, and
will be taken care of. The law
doesn't provide for "not doing a
thing" to the farmer.
President Roosevelt's hunt' in
Montana a year ago, headed a lot
of Kaetern dudes thither. And
now President Roosevelt bun re
ceived a le.ter of expostulation from
Chief Hiko-Hiko of Hoedown, bead
village of Fat Dog, It says: ''Great
Father of Washington. Kum and

no fish, no good. All time heap

Px-Attomey General John W.
Griggs saw many thousand dollars'
woith of his bonds and valuable
papers destroyed in Paterson, N. J.,
recently, just as he h;id seen them
taken, still intact, from the ruins of
tLo big fire. Those papers were in
his private safe in hiB office, where
his splendid l.iw library was burned
The safe was taken from the ruins
ui:d the dour pried open. Suddenly
the papers burst into flames and
were reduced to ai-h-'B. It is sup
posed gas had generated inside the
safe. Among the papers were eight
unregistered bonds, ea:b of a face
value of $1000.
A number of farmers have been
swindled out of sums aggregating
several thousand dollars recently
by a couple of strangers, who repre
sented themselves to be hunters.
The strangers' plan was to identify
themselves as wealthy men from
Chicago or some other place, and
offer (5 for the privilege of bunting
on the farmer's premises. Consent
being given, tbey paid the $5 and
then wrote out a receipt for the
farmer to sign. The receipt turned
up later as a promissory note for
$500, and aa it was in the bands ol
a third party payment had to be
made. Port Orford Tribune. ...
They had been talking of nick
names, and a New York teacher,
whose school is on the EdBt Side,
said: "A boy of 7 oame into my
room. 'What is your name?' I
aBked him. 'Stub Williams.' After
long questioning, I discovered that
his name was Arthur. 'What is
your father's name?' I asked, 'Beefy
Williams,' was his response. There
his knowledge halted. He could
not tell me more, because he did
not know. 'Beefy' was the only
one he had ever heard. I told him
to get the name for me. The next
day he brought a note, scrawled on
the margin of a newspaper. 'My
mane is James W. Williams,' it
said, 'but what in h-1 is the matter
with Beefy?'"
According to Bradstreet's, a net
increase of over $9,300,000 in the
money in circulation was recorded
for the month of January. The
total on February 1 was $2,259,951,
709, which represents an increase
of over $69,000,000 as compared
with the corresponding date a year
ago. Increases are noted in every
kind of money except standard sil
ver dollars and Treasury notes of
1890, in the former of whioh there
was a decrease of little over $1,000,-
000 and in the latter one of over
$20,600,000. The circulation per
capita, on the basis of a population
calculated by the Treasury experts
at 78,650,000, is given as $28.77.
This represents an inorease of -39
oents as compared with the corre
sponding date of last year.

From the Kurnl Northwest,
The Sau Jose scale increased rap
idly in the vicinity of Vancouver,
Wash., last year and almost every
fruit grower finds it necessary to
pray his trees for this pert. It is
the impression of a good rniny i.f
the northwestern fruit growers tlmi
it is no longer necessary to sp ay
against the San Jose scale in Ca i
fornia, owing to the prevalcnc" ol'
parasites. It is doubtless I rue tht
the scale is now kept in check in h
great extent in tbat state ami v
some extent in Oregon by parosile.-,
but it appears to be necessary ev-n
yet to fight the S.tn Jose scale ex
tensively by spraying iu California.

Every Year.
London Kxprcss.
The immensity of London can
ooly be understood when we come
to di-al with the many eides of the
people's lives. Every year about
l'JO.OOO babies are burn in London,
Mine 6000 of whom are not wanted,
ana are not wt-icn'riwi. i nere are
always more boys than girls.
Mow than 400 out of every 1000
never live to be 2 years old; over
30,000 little cotlins being used
every year to bury their remains
More than 20,0j0 people die every
year in London workhouses and in
firmaries; but, in spite .of the fact
tbat about 82,000 Londoners go to
their last account, there are 50,000
more persons alive in London each
Nsw Year's day than there were on
the previous occasion. -
There are more than 40,000 wed
dings each twelvemonth, 30,000 of
which are celebrated in the churches
of the Establishment. Strange as
it may Bee in, seeing tbat we have
nad compulsory education now for
over 30 year?,.there are, every year
more than zuuJ persons, married in
London who can neuter read nor
write.
It is a common mistake to sup
pose that everybody who can comes
o London, and tbat its population
is increased almost entirely by this
process. As a matter of fact, close
upon 40,000 Londoners leave the
metropolis every year for the coun
try or for places abroad.
Clerk's Wise Suggestion.
"I save lately been muoh troubled with dys
pepsia, belching snd sour stomach," writes M.
.S. Mead, leading pharmacist of Altleboro, Mass.
I could eat hardly anything without sufforlng
several hours. My clerk, suggested 1 try Kodol
Dyapopaia Cure which 1 did with most happy
results. I nave had no more trouble and whon
odo cau go to eating mlnco pie, cheese, oandy
and nuts af tor such a time, their digestion must
be pretty good. I endorse -Kodol Dyspepsia
Curo heartily." You dou't have to diet, fiat
all the good food you want but don't overload
the stoumoh. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
your food. Chas. Strang.
Harold M. Oolo, assistant snperin
(endont at the E.tst Helena (Mout.)
smelter, is dead and Olivia Mayuo Cole,
his wife, is at her home mortally
wonnded as the result of shots fired by
her husband. The theory is that the
hnsbaud found some correspondence
belobgiuff to his wife, and that there
was a quarrel aud then the tragedy.

probably die; the mau may recover.
They were partners' iu the lodging

due to Mrs. Wiley's refusal to marry
