THE VICTIMS Oh' THE LARCH- MOST DISASTER SWEPT ASHORE FROZEN SOLID. Black Island, R. L, Feb. 13.-Thc recovering nl the bodies ol tlio victims ol the steamer Lurclimont, which sunk in collision with the ttireu masted schooner Harry Knowlton, hit* Monday ninUt, in Block island sound, proceeded slowly and with difficulty along Mie icy shores of the Island, during the night and curly part ol to-day, owing to the darkness. l'|i to 8 o'clock this morning, however, 51 bodies hud been gathered in by the coast patrols and vessels sent lo the scene. This list ol survivors still stood at 19. Identifications have been made ol five more up to daylight, bringing the number ol identified dead up to eleven. Purser Oscar Young, ol Providence, still maintained to-tlay that there were 135 or -151) passengers on hoard tne steamer when she left Providence lot New York, and most ol the sur- vlvurs who were able to express an opinion were inclined to support hit figures, rattier than those of Captain (1. VV. McVey, of the Larchmont, who estimated the number ot passengers al Irom 50 to 75. From some of the surviving officers, it was learned that the Larchmont carried a crew of 40 men, of whom only ten are accounted lor. This means that out of a total ot from 150 to 200 persons on hoard the Larchmont, nine passengers and ten sailors have survived. Their condition is pitiable, but the two physicians who had been in almost constant attendance upon the sullnrcrs expressed confidence early to-day that none of the rescued was likely to succumb. One ot the ship's officem stated that tbe Larchmont carried eight lileboats and four rafts. At 8 o'clock it was believed that five ol these boats hail been accounted lor and one raft. The survivors number only two women, Mrs. Harris Fchl- n-.aii, and Miss Sadie Gallup, of lion- ton. During the night tho coastguards from the two lite-saving stations, aided by many citizens, patrolled the beaches on the watch lor bodies. It was difficult to locale the corpses in the dark. In nearly every instance they were tumbled .in by the breakers, encased in a coffin of ice several inches thick. In this way they were placed on the shore, awaiting identification. A lile-l'aft, with seven bodies, was picked up yesterdav bv tlie schooner Clara E., ol this port, after a cruise along the coast. A piece ot the altev- deeki of the steamer was picked up. Mr. and Mrs. Fcldliam and a dead man were all that remained ol sixteen who had sought refuge on the trail support. Little hope was felt that the occupants of the missing lifeboats and rafts had survived the fearful cold, which find moderated, but Blight!? during the night. The grim' pictures of horror painted hy tbe survivors were relieved by touches of heroism and self-sacrifice on the part of thp crew and some of the passengers. Nearly all the surviving passengers interviewed agree that the crew and officers behaved well. With the first shock- and the inrush of water and escape ot steam from the broken main stenmpipe. Captain Me Vet v rraliwd the scope ol the accident. The crew were called to quarters, each man sprung to his station, as the call to desert the ship was given. Panic-stricken passengers, aroused from sound sleep, rushed wildly on ilcck and mobbed the boats and raftsmen, women fighting each other fearfully, forgetful of all except tlie primal instnnct to save one's self. The crew fought of! the crowd Tcsolutcly, though hard pressed, and provided lor the women and children first, Some of Ihe male passengers recovered from their first fright anil assisted in the work. Many never reached the deck. They were RufFnca-tcd li.Tow in their quartets by the steam, nr drowned like rats in a trap beneath the deck. Within ten minutes the boats were away from the ship's side, just as she settled low in the water, with waves dashing over her nnd flooding every available foothold. Cold and high seas completed the work ol destruction, and the little hand of persons who got away trom the Larchmont wns In groups. In tbe helpless drift in the hitter cold it became the old story ol the "survival of the fittost." Nineteen are known to have survived, eleven arc among the dead, fheir bodies having been identified, and 95 are missing. OI the identified, dead, seven are members ot the crew and four passengers. Ol the surviving ten are members ol the crew and nine passengers. Twelve of the missing are members ol the crew ami eighty-three are passengers, Purser Young can tell only a disjointed story. He was below in his room with his assistant. William Carroll, going over the freight bills, when the shock came, lie hurried to the deck, only tn he caught tn the indescribable contusion. Seeing that he could do but llltlc, he ran below again to find nearly all the rooms and Ihe saloon filled with steam from the boilers. Passengers rushed out ol their state rooms hnlt dressed, or witb only their night clothes on. Tbe water was rising rnpidly and soon the beds on Ihe saloon deck wore afloat. Young again rushed up on deck. The rising water caught manv of the passengers, who were unable to force their way up the already crowded stairs. Some who could swln survived till the water reached the ceiling. Others perlshl-d with the first Inrush of water. Newspaper men rarely have encountered such difficulty In getting a eonneeted story of the horror. The minds of the survivors were affected hv the privations and terrible scenes. Their strength was not equal to the wnrk nt gathering ideas to express Hie eitent ol the tragedy. Their own peril obliterated itll uiespcctivc ol tne seta*, THE LUMBER COMMITTEE WITNESSES SUMMONED TO GIVE EVIDENCE AT OTTAWA. Ottawa, Feb. 19 —lion.

New York, Feb. lO.-Wheu the Thaw trial is. ended how will the Thaw fortune fare'.' What will the expense be'.' Mure than that of any murder trial that has ever taken place lu New York. Never hei ore iu the court annals ol this city has such an expensive array of legal talent been gathered together in a criminal case. It is expensive nut only on account of ability, but because uf the disposition ot Lhc Thaw family io throw open the doors uf their money vaults aud "go the limit" for the defence of the man ou trial. The Thaw for tune, according to Pittsburg estimates, is about $40,- uuu.uiw. All the tremendous strength of Ibis lur tune has been thrown into the battle to save Harry K. Thaw from the death chair. Taken iu its entirety the Thaw trial will cost more than $300,000. This may be divided approximately as follows: Lawyers, $200,000; out-of-town detectives, $50,000; preparation of case ami incidentals, $!>u,000. Of course tills amount is only a fraction of the annual income of the Thaw family. There has been considerable speculation us lo the cost of the trial to the County ot New York, and many wild guesses have been made. In order to settle the matter for good and all, ligures have been obtained in the district attorney's office that show Hie total cost of the trial for the country will be somewhere between $10,000 aud $15,000, exceedingly low figure when all circumstances are considered. Tbe tecs ot medical experts will make more than tiie total amount. The two trials of Roland Molineux put the county to uu expense of upward of $70,utHJ and it cost $5u,0u0 to convict Albert T. Patrick. In both trials of Molineux and Patrick many medical experts were employed, and experts are luxuries. In the Thaw three medical experts are lined up with the prosecution, they are Drs. Flint, MacDonald and Matson. These experts receive a compensation dependent on their appearance in court. They are paid $100 a day tor every day they attend the sessions. New York, Feb. 14.—Another tragic chapter iu the history of the Thaw- Whito case was written to-day, when grim death brought the famous trial to a halt in its fourth week. The wife of juror No. 11, Mrs. Joseph Bolton, passed away this afternoon soon after her husband had reached her bedside. He had been summoned trom the court room, where the trial had been in progress tor less than 15 minutes. The formal announcement of Mrs. Bolton's death was made in court shortly after 2 p.m., the hour set for the afternoon session, and Justice Fitzgerald immediately ordered an adjournment of the ease until Monday. The court also ordered, with the consent of counsel that the other eleven jurors he given their liberty und no longer he held together. He admonished them to be guided by their honor and their oath aud not to lead the newspapers or discuss the Thaw case with anybody. Dr. Button D. Evans, superintendent ol ihe New Jersey state hospital (or the insane, was recalled us un alienist to continue his direct examination. The witness was asked to detail the conversation he lud had ou various occasions with Thaw in tbe Tombs. He hud already declared these conversations to be an essential feature in his conclusion that Thaw was of unsound mind at thi time of the doctor's first three visits to him, the last being on September 22. Mr. Jerome had withdrawn his objections to the statement by Thaw going "Into the evidence and Dr. Evans was about to detail the events of his fust visit on August I, whim the summons for juror Bolton came.

Of all the girls who work for their living in Chicago the waitresses arc conceded to have the best chance of winning a husband. This exemplifies the old rule that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and a study of marriage statistics will reveal that (hose who stand aud serve don't have lung lo wait—for a husband. Miss George Teeters, president of the Waitresses' union, says that 1,500 girls arc employed in the restaurants of Chicago, ami of this number she says about .'.00 are married every year. When a pretty Utile waitress once gets her eye mi a man she thinks she could look upon as au asset she begins her campaign against his heartt by working up a standing with the chef. Her first move is to inform that functionary that a particular friend of hers is waiting for bis meal anil that she would consider it a great personal favor if a little extra care were bestowed on Hie dishes he had ordered. This done, she sees that the table chilli on his table is clean and neat and that, lie is given a fresh, clean nnpkln, All his dishes are scrutinized carefully and his silver is placed before him iu a spotless condition. She then brings into play her battery of bacon nml eggs, fried to a turn. A dish of apple sauce, placed before linn with her own dainty little hand, has a disastrous effect, creamed just to his laste, drives him to thu trenches of satisfaction ami contentment. Bv the time she brings him a nice piece of pie, which she has saved especially for him, and which does not look as though it had been slept on bv the took, like the average restaurant pie, he is ready lo listen to her terms of surrender. No man, in the opinion of those who have studied the question, can long resist such treatment, and if the waitress happens to he pretty, he cannot resist it at all, Tbe stenographers, with their higher salaries and their opportunities for intomacy with those who employ/ them, generally are supposed to have the best chance for marriages, but this is not so. Strange as it may seem, the girls who heat out their living on typewriters are less Inclined to marriage than any other class of girls, and they explain this iu a way that ought to knock the conceit out of certain eligible young men who spend their lime wondering what! girl will he lucky enough to marry them. "The stenographer," says Miss Al, B. Cleveland, secretary ol the Business Woman's exchange", "has an opportunity to see men as thev are during the week days. The week day man and the Sunday night man are two different propositions, as all stenographers find out, and it is the opinion of many of them that life with llie average week day man would be unbearable. On Sunday night the average man is not a bad sort of a creature. He usually bus a box of flowers'under bis arm or a couple of theater tickets in bis pocket. His voice is soft and low and never, to hear tiim tell it, did he ever love anybody hut Susan herself. Susan listens to this sort of talk and1 th-1!! concludes that she is the luckiest of mortals. At midnight or, thereafter, when the Sunday night man takis bis leave, Susan hangs on to his co.it lapel as he stands iu the hall and dreads to think of tbe whole week that must pass before the next Sunday night. "On Monday, and the five days following, the Sunday night man has undergone a change. He is then tbe business man. Then is his time lo lie and cheat and compromise with liis conscience. Then he is revealed in his true colors, and his stenographer, above nil others, is given a elmnce to see the creature as he really is. Few men can go through a week of business strife without falling from the high ideal on which stenographers, in their mind's eye, set all men oriejlnally, and that is Ui« reason such girls less frequently are married than their sisters in "other walks of life. It isn't a lack of opportunities. It's a refusal to accept them." Miss Cleveland is in a position to know the sentiments of stenographers. The Business Woman's exchange is a clearing house for girls who make their living by that method, and it is her belief that tliese girls look upon marriage as a last resort rather than a chance to better their condition in life. The girls who work as trained nurses have good chances to win husbands. When a man is injured or ill and goes to a hospital for treatment bis attention is centered tor the time being on Hie young woman who takes care of him. The home instinct is strong in all men, and when they find themselves bandaged ami poulticed and cared tor it makes them think of home and mother. From this it isn't a long graduation lo that often imagined home of their own, and it is remarkable bow jjiiick- ly this thought leads to the identification of the young woman who is altending their immediate wants with that dreamed of home. Her touch is so soft and her voice is so soothing. The skill with which she hinds the wounds and drive,-: away the cares, of the sick room is consummate, What qlcer than to have her with him always?

BY MEANS OF X-RAY EQUIPMENT—DETAILED STATEMENT OF INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. The proposal to delect smuggled articles, whether on the person of Uiu smuggler, or in packages, by means of the Roentgen ray, was made several years ago. It is now learned that this plan has bad a successful trial by the French government. 'Hie system employed is that of Adolpbe Lc Roux. The plan is to have every passeugvit ou board a vessel trom u foreign port pass in flout of the x-ray apparatus and subject himself to a thorough examination, lu this way smuggled articles concealed auywk'tc aboub the person can be instantly detected. As it is not necessary to remove any of the clothing, the passengers are caused absolutely no aiiuoyauce, and .us all are treat til alike they suffer no indignity by bring obliged to stand iu front of that searching, penetrating, little x-ray machine. The process is quick and the expense is more than counterbalanced by the cutting down of tbe number ot customhouse officials. One man can examine all lhc ships that come lo port in a day, and there is no paticnce-lryiug delay. In the trial mention iu; persons were examined iu 15 minutes, and oil them were found jewels aud merchandise hidden for the occasion. Watches were discovered sewed in the lining of one Plan's coat. In the hem of a woman's skirt were found the rings put there to test the system. A liny jeweled locket was revealed bidden in a young man's mouth, underneath his lungue, while under the coils of a woman's hair the x-ray showed quite plainly several watch chains -and a bracelet, Another "smuggler" carried several card- cases spread oul flat against his feet. Right through his shoes and stockings the x-ray penetrated, and the clasps on the cardcase:> stood out good and clear to the eye of the examiner. Tbe buttons ' un several pairs of gloves betrayed their presence next to the skin, somewhere in lhc region of the heart, of a French official who tried to fool the litjje machine by wrapping each glove up first in linen and then in tisuue paper. The x-ray saw through his deception immediately. Ho was accused of "carrying concealed buttons which wen? perhaps attached to some dutiable articles." He confessed like a man and the x-ray received another good mark as a detective. Headed by Mr. Le Roux (the outsiders gathered together for the examination being dismissed) the officials tramped over to tbe post ollice with their x- liiy machine, and there proceeded to pry into envelops and packages without removing Haps or strings. All sorts of foreign articles were found hidden in innocent places, With every country using the x-ray at the custom bouse and post office, smuggling would soon cease, for there seems to be no way to fool this little agent, Every means of baffling it were tried at Mr. Le Roux's test. Articles were wrapped in many thicknesses of paper and woolen fabrics, and they were hidden in all sorts of queer places, but once the x-ray got busy they might jut*t as well have shouted out their whereabouts, for not a single hidden article escaped detection.—Literary Digest. EN ROUTE. Secretary Root was once making the journey from New York to Washington when he came across an old friend in the train. They went into the dining car together and, after the ovsters, the friend suggested some wine, saying: 'ion know this meal is 'on' me" "Oh, no, it isn't," replied the secretary, smiling. "Wc are dining 'in Root' (en route)."-Ex. AUNT EMMA'S PHILOSOPHY Aunt Emma was an old-fashioned darky, of the ante-bellum school. But she Was unique in many ways, hav- ng a high conception of honor ol a kind and being withal extremely witty on all occasions. She was thoroughly outspoken, and took advantage of her age to "butt in" on any conversation, no matter by whom it was carried on. On one occasion, I remember to have been rep-Biing »ne of Schiller's beautiful little poems in German, and later was repeating the Lord's piaver in the same language .when i was interrupted by Aunt Emma demanding what I was saying. "I was only repeating the Lord's Prayer in German, Aunt Emma." "Well! Maybe de Lord knows what you's a-talkin' hout I don't, J doubts it though, hut lemine tell you one ting right now; don t you come round here ask- en me for something in no sich cr way as dat."—Ex. —« "VERY LOW." On one nmicnsion, I overheard the hidy pf the bouse giving some good Christian advice and consolation to another servant who hud been "very low for several weeks, and telling Her not to be discouraged, as such misfortunes will come to all ol us, ami that she herself would help her, iind that she ought to look to tho great ami infinite God who would help and "Ain't no use a-talking 'bout that, Miss Mary, it's all bosh. Ain't I done sperienccd loo much? Didn't my ole man lie down in his bed yonder for live solid years sick on his back, and I had to work my Iool self to death tryin' to keep me an* him both a-going. It just got so bad till I snid if de Lord didn't -soma ami take him soon, He might just as well come git both of us. Then all your friends ud come in and tell you hit wasn't goin' lo last much longer, and toiput your trust in de Lord. No sirree, they kept on lellin' me that sort o' stuff till it got right rancid, and I snid, 'Oh, dc debit, IV done got tired of dat.'

There are too many homes in which is heard only fault finding Instead ol loving commendations; bickerings ami ..trite instead of sweet, happy companionship. Remember like produces like in the life as elsewhere. May this he borne in mini! by all, and a constant effort made for purer, brighter homes. The gleeful liie of happy children is the beat homo music and the graceful figures of childhood are ihe best Statuary. Wc are all kings and] queens in the cradle. A home without n child! It is like a lantern without a candle; a garden and nu flowers; a vine and no j^apes; u brook and no water gurgling and gushing in its channel. Whoever takes a little child into his love, may have a very roomy heart, hut thai child will till it out. The children Urea us trom growing old uud cold; ihcy cling to uur garments with their little Bauds and impede our progrusb-. to peUifcation; they win us back wilh their pleading eyes, from cruel care; they never eu** cumber us al all. A poor old couple with no one to love them, is a most pitiful picture; but a hovel, wilh a small face to till a broken pane here and there, is robbed ot its desolate- ness. APPRECIATION. Appreciation is one ot the Christ- liku* emotions of the human heart. To look at motives and nol ut results is the right thing lo do. How often the best laid plans lead to failure. A word of appreciation has led many a discouraged heart lo pick up the broken threads and weave them into a new web after they had lain among tattered ideals for months or years. Kind words bring memories thai echo through the years long alter the lips that uttered them have crumbled 10 dust. Children carry the memory ul words of appreciation with them through childhood and ofteu recall them in old age when enveloped 111 the shadows of life. They ale like the perfume ot the violet that lifts its head above the spring snows and whispers to them of ihe sunshine. Money cannot buy, intellect cannot create so rare a gem as true kindness. It is a heart product and needs the Urndercst culture. It is killed by Indifference and enfeebled by neglect. Wtiile ltobert (J. lfigersol made for himself a legion of enemies hy his attack-; upon Christianity, all must admire his e-lmpieniT. Nu man in America could mure beautifully frame a sentence, and his eloquent remarks at the grave oi his brother lead one to doubt if the great liilidel was half so bad as his own words, at times, pictured him to be. A man who uttered so many beautiful things had but little loom in his heart tor atheism with its cold, revolting, heathenism teachings. In a symposium on woman. Col. Hubert U, Ingeisol was nailed 10 contribute bis views. He replied as follows: •li takes .1 hundred men to make an encampment, hut one woman can make a home. 1 not only admire women as the most beautiful object ever create-.!, but 1 reverence her as the redeemed glory ot humanity, tho sanctuary ol all virtues, the pledge ot all perfect qualities of heart and head. It is because women are so much better Hum men thai their [anils arc considered greater. The one thing in this world that is constant, the only peak that rises above the clouds, tbe one window In which the light burns forever, the one Star that darkness cannot quench, is woman's love. It rises to the greatest heights, it sinks to the lowest depths, it forgives the most; cruel injuries A woman's love is the perfume ot the earth. This is the real love that subdues the earth; the love that has wrought all miracles of art; that, gives us music all the way from the cradle song to the grand closing symphony that bears the soul away on wings ol tire. A love that is greater than power, sweeter that) lite and stronger than death." I.IKK IS WHAT WE MAKE IT. Ella Wheeler Wilcox has faithtulW expressed n common truth in a little poem entitled "Companionship," commencing: "Laugh and the world laughs with yo> Weep and you weep alone. Kor the sad old carih must borrow its mirth, Hut has trouble enough of its own. "Sing and tbe hills will answer; Sigh and it is lost in the air; The echoes hound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care." One of the first ami hardest lessons which the novice has to learn upon entering the great busy world of toil and tumult is that tbe rushing, struggling, striving public has no interest in the grief ot uny individual. It is too fully occupied with its own advancement to spend a thought or a care on what does not concern or eBret its welfare. When we come to investigate we will find that trouble is universal ami is more equally meted out than we suppose. It comes to us all In one form or another, sometimes in disguise, but It is the same ugly spectre when the mask is thrown aside. Every heart has Its own burden which wealth cannot lighten, nor honor alleviate. It may be tn the hidden depths, unseen hy human eyes, but it is there nevertheless, and will be until the spirit throws off this "mortal evil" and leaves it behind with its enrthlv tenement. The only difference is that one has the moral courage to mi0 or overcome1 or else submit . bravely to the inevitable, while the other makes into which the tide of i-ircumstuncus bas placed ll, but Wastes the Btreugth, which, if properly exerted would put 11 on ns feet, iu vain regrets and useless repining. Whatever yom trials and disappointments, keep them to yourself; they only worry your friends and vex those who have no claim upon your cunlideuces Keep a bright fact'^ a cheerful word and a hopeful heart. Carry in your healing the dignity of self-esteem und let the air of prosperity fit you like a garment. Extend io the tvuild a cordial hand, and remember that lite is for the most part what we make it. ^>>»**-WM-M*3 3*3**5 3***^ Seven Years Ago § in Cranbrook *** jt S 1 g ITEMS COLLED FKOM THE g £ HfcKALD OF THAT HATE $ %*-*tfr*fr*frfrttfrfr^a-5-»*i*»*c«^ Mr. aud Mrs. Archibald Leltch and son Archie, are among those quarantined on the steamer .Movie at lhc wharf al Nelson.

Character is no more than an inwrought ideal with more ot less perfection. Over-topping the hills ot conscious self-abasement lie the summer-land ol llie. The most ignoble character in all the world is the mere money-getting American. Nothing has quite so delicate poise as character. Whisperings may often dislodge it.

Wwwwwwwww^ § OBSERVATIONS | X BY THE OLD MAN. Z The price of gasoline bas gone up, aud now tbe Herald anil all other cousuoiers of gasoline iu tbe world will proceed to pay for tbat gilt of Vf.i.OWi.tHiu made by J. 1>. Hockefel- lcr. Tbe Lethbridge Herald trays that tlie Thaw case is very much iu evidence ia Southern Alberta. Tbe saow has passed away. Good roads are necessary for tbe development of tbe couuiry. The Craubrook district needs good roads. Correspondence for the Herald must be signed by the writer's name, not for publicatiou but for the information of tbe editor. The Craubrook Herald laments tbat this is tbe hardest winter llritisb Columbia has experienced iu forty years. Being ou the Liberal side uf the bouse our contemporary can speak feelingly, says the Calgary, Herald. As our friend Young is on the Conservative side of the house, we might inquire bow about the winter iu Alberta, where it takes a search wanaut to find a Conservative in tbe legislature. The city council of Itaymond, Alberta, opens its sessions witb prayer, A city council might do worse things than tbat. Watch the Herald's circulation grow. And now tbe Conservative press of B. C.j are booming Kicbard McBride tor leader of the tory party in Uie Dominion bouse. This is carrying a joke too far. The Herald, in dealing with political questions, has always cudeavured to be fair and broad-minded. After tlie dose of tbe recent provincial campaign and the endorsement of the McBride government by a handsome majority, the Herald freely statwi that Mr, MeBride would receive its support iu any movement that was calculated to benefit tlie province aud the people, since the Herald has always maintained tbat the welfare of the people a.s a whole was of far mote importance than the success of any political party or tbe political ambition of any individual. Tbe editorial dealing with this question has brought forth some comment from other newspapers, that express their opinion on the stand taken by the Herald. The Nelson Canadian, strongly Conservative, and an en- Ih un las tic supporter of Mr. McBride during the campaign, says in its issue or the Uth: Ihe Cranbrook Herald made a hard fight both tor its candidate, Dr. King, and tbe Liberal party, It won for Its candidate but lost" lor its party, both of which results were not unexpected even by the Herald. Now that It is over the Herald takes a position which, if its example be followed by tbe press throughout the province, wilt go a long way to hasten the day when British Columbia will stand first iu the splendid galaxy ol federated sections. The Lethbridge (Alberta) Herald, an independent paper, has the following: The Cranbrook Herald is to be commended on the attitude it takes towards the McBride government iu British Columbia. The Herald supported the Liberal party in the recent campaign with vigor and ability, but as soon as lite battle was over, the "Old Man" admits defeat lit* a man and talks such good sense as the following: The Herald desires to say at this time that in all matters that aie for the advancement of the province as a whole, Mr. MeBridu will receive its support. The Herald stands for British Columbia and for the Cranbrook district. It believes that the progress of the province ami the district is of far more importance than the political ad- vaneemeut of any parly or any individual. Mr. McBride will not liud the Herald a carping critic, but ou the coutrary he will rind the Herald standing up for all that is good for the province, all that promises prosperity, all that will aid the individual and the peu|ile as a whole. Tbat is the llerald's position in politics. It has no complaints to make, no sores to heal. Old Man Simpson, iu the Craubrook Herald, says he favors a Mr. Thompson as the Conservative candidate iu the next provincial election. Dues this mean that lie considers he will be au easy mark?—Lethbridge Herald. Not by any means. Mi. Thompson has been a valiant worlder fur the Conservative cause, he devoted his time to the success of the Conservative candidate iu the last two campaigns, ul a great personal sacri- lice, hv has carried the burden ul organization of the party iu this district upon bis shoulders, and is a politician by training aud instinct Why then should he not have a chance at the honors and the llesli pots? In making tbe suggestion We only bad iu mind a fair deal for Mr. Thompson. Frank Oliver did the right thing when be issued that humane order permitting homesteaders to leave their homesteads until May 1st, uml granting the western settlers the privilege of cutting timber ou guv eminent lands for fuel. Oliver is a western man, a practical man and a man of bard sense. That is why. even in a government of red tape, he will win witb bis blunt manners and good judgment. Where is Joe Martin? A laundry in Lethbridge has proven a failure. No wonder. Hang a shirt or auy other article of lingerie on the line for live minutes when the wind is blowing iu that town, aud it will become as white as the driven snow und as free from dirt as the saactiiied soul of an archangel. No man iu Lethbridge -thinks of chasing; his hat when it blows off. He simply turns around and waits until another good one comes along. Thai wind, ladened with the warmth ot southern suns, has blown prosperity to Lethbridge, and made it the attractive winter resort of Sunny Alberta, It has blown away bad reputations and wrestled hard with good ones. It has blown the town full of energy and hope, filling the people with a realization of the great future of the place. It is blowing new railroads and new industries into the town. It is blowing the dust and cobwebs out of some of the stores, and blowing in modern equipments and modern ideas. It is a great wind, and the people will not mourn the failure of the laundry so long as that wind keeps on blowing. We were thanked last week tor a kind word said. We are so accustomed to befcg cussed that the change threatened us with heart disease. .lames Fraser came down from the Windermere country last week to arrange for the sale of his Easter strawberries. tie says that he shovelled the snow off the plants and found them blossoming in fine shape. Eraser's strawberries, like our bananas, show what a great country this is. "There is so much had in the best of us, And so much good in the worst of us, That it hardly behooves anv of us, To talk about the rest of us," Kverybody who knows fl'om Taylor, of Revelstoke, will be pleased to learn of his elevation to the position of provincial secretary. "Tom," as he is familiarly called, is popular with both sides of the house, he has lost what money he hud fighting in politics, and this recognition will meet the approval of his many friends all over the province. A narrow, contracted mind, can never understand a liberal, broad- minded declaration. That is why a hide-hound, partisan organ is alwavs non-plussed when it sees evidence of fairness on the part of any other newspaper. The Herald is still Independent— that is. free to follow any policy it deems best for Cranbrook nnd the country. Say, Mr. Advertiser, if you wish to fully appreciate tbe fact that you are getting tbe worth of your money hy advertising in the Herald, drop in the office and look over the subscription list. And, by the way, just stop a moment and figure out ff there is any other weekly paper in the province making such an offer to you. And yet you have the right to know. You pay the money for the advertising and you should know whether 11W people or 10uu have the opportunity to read that ad. that you pay for. That is a straight business proposition. If you paid tor a ton of potatoes you would wantf io know if the full tou was delivered. If you paid for one dozen socks you would want to know if you reived the full dozen- And so on iu every business deal that you make. In every case where you pay for goods you waut them delivered. The Herald delivers the goods. There is still time to take advantr tge of the combination offer of the Dully Free Press uf Winnipeg aud tho Cranbrook Herald, fur 13.25'for one year. Old Mau" Simpson, of the Cranbrook Herald, says personal abuse is mighty poor politics—aud be is not ur wrong.—Calgary Herald. We're having the right kind of weal her now lo ripen tbe banana crop. Boost and the world boosts with you. Knock and you knock alone. Press despatches state that Miss Shaw, of Oltavvu, was poisoned by eatiug "angel cake." Does not "angel" sound rather nice.' Dogs as a means of transportation in tlie far uorth are iu demand, says a press despatch. Craubrook could meet the demand, aud still have a few left for a rainy day. Fifty thousand dollars worth 01 American coins were made in England iu 1712. There have been several dollars worlh more made since that date. Iu Cranbrook this week great interest was taken iu the Thaw case. Even Odd Sol got in his work and gave us a genuine thaw. Be a booster, not a boomer. The Herald is busy, but it is never too busy to attend to more business. Hams Horn is not a paper devoted to the raising of sheep. We have seen a lot of men in this country, who couldn't teJl a newspaper from one of Eaton's catalogues sit around and tell you how a paper should be run. Cranbrook will continue to go ahead the coming summer as usual. Stock is going up in Alberta. This is uot due to the cow jumping over the moon, but to the fact that the recent cold weather, killed thousands of head. When you see a good thing, boost it. Cranbrook is one of these good things. The Manitoba election will'be one of the hottest on record. The Herald hopes to see wise and beneficial legislation at the coming session of the provincial legislature. Mayor Fiulay has gone to Spokane on private business. It will make the heart of anv Cranbrook advertiser glad to look i over the subscription list of the Herald. You have that right, as you pay your money for advertising. There are mighty few weekly papers in Canada, however, that will grant the advertiser that privilege. Why'.' The reason is a simple one. The Calgary Cattle company are selling soles. We knew they bave been selling brains, livers, kidneys, feet, hearts, heads, stomachs, etc. but'did not know that they were trading in soles until this week. There is a movement- on foot in tlie province to increase the salaries of school teachers. The move is all right. Raise the salaries and elevate the standard. The banana crop is going to be O. K. after all. Sunny Kootenay sounds well and is the truth. On the square, where Is there a better or more prosperous town of its size than Cranhrook? "Newspaper men are not born but made," has often been said, but in British Columbia there is an exception to this rule. R. J. Clark, for several years principal of the high school in Nelson, felt that be would prefer journalism to school teaching, and secured a berth on the Daily News. At once his articles attracted attention. They were not pedantic, on the contrary, they were clear concise and interesting. And ns Mr. Clark continued in his work lie grew as a journalist. Later he accepted the posit lop of city editor Of the Nelson Tribune, where he mode a decided hit. But it was as editor id the Evening Tribune, during the recent campaign that Mr. Clark made a name for himself in British Columbia journalism, and to-day, although a young man, and with only a few years experience in the work he ranks with the leading writers of the Dominion. The Herald will watch the future career of Mr. Clark with interest, and the people of Nelson have reason to feel proud of tlie fact that his journalistic career was started in that town. Quality of work will win in any business. That is why the job department r»f the Herald is always crowded. But it takes men with the "know how" to produce modern work. The Herald artists keep up I with the times. There Is not new idea in typography thai they arq not familiar with, simply because they receive regularly each month literature and samples ot work produced by the best printing bouses in HILL & COMPANY still continue to have their store crowded daily with purchasers anxious to take advantage of the unparallelled reductions in prices that are offering.

The business men of Cranbrook have made u great reputation for working log-ether and lhat reputation should be maintained. The oily council 'd Pernio nre cutting down expenses. That is business, and the brand of business that the taxpayer can appreciate.

HILL'S CANADIAN BOAD. The Wall Street Journal says: Aside from any new lines now contemplated, Hie' Hill lines have about 3,000 4jiiU-s under construction, projected now, or completed since the last liscal year. Of this the most important item is the new transcontinental road building iii Canada. The line is now practically lone from Vancouver through tlie Hocky mountains. It will be pushed ncros's the prairies of Alberta, As- sinibola and .Manitoba to Winnipeg, which will be the eastern terminus. The new line will be about 500 miles long and should he .'unshed within the next two years. This new transcontinental road will be owned by the Great Northern.

An Irishman, not one of the type represented by Burke or Eiumelt, but of the type with which we arc more familiar, was once about the only witness in an Important murder rase, and his testimony was expected by the attorneys to.largely influence the. finding of the jury. So the lawyers were very intent on listening when, in response to tbe demand of the judge, Pat began to tell what lie knew. This was his testimony, spoken very rapidly: "The first lick lie hit him he missed him; the second liek lie knocked him down, he hail nothing in his two hands but his two fists and they were in his pocket in the inanetime."—Ex.

One Sunday morning he preached a sermon ot great power in the swell negro Baptist church. After announcing his text, and before beginning his exegesis, the minister said: "It is but right, my friends, that I should say, with regard to the words I have chosen as the basis for my discourse, that I have interpreted them for myself, independent of tbe views of Bible scholars. I am free to say that commentators do not agree with me." Without waiting to hear more, one of the members of Big Bethel quietly slipped out of tbe door, and made his, way to his cabin in the suburbs of tho city. He returned, and awaited at the church door until the congregation bad dispersed. "Boss," said he, approaching the learned divine, "dat were 'er great sarmon you preached, but I hear you say dat de common taters don't agree wfd yo', so, boss, I's brung you some fine yams of my own raisin', sar," and he placed at the feet of the preacher a sack of the aforesaid yams.—Ex.
