City Clerk Pinchbeck officiated for iho lirst time at the council meeting on Monday night. The othera seated around the boafd were, Mayor McNeish, Aid. Smith, Henderson nnd Teeter, Correspondence read: From Ti. I). Curtis, stating that he hud found the* hooks of ex*Clerk Bentley in proper shape. Piled. From Government Agent Chipman, Kaslo, stating that the sum of Sj.8.20 bad been collected in buck taxes in Slocan sine- his last report. Filed. From L.

A petition was then presented from 20 odd citizens, asking to have the sidewalks on Main stn.-et and De'aney ave cleaned off and the snowplow run around Fletcherayeand Slocan street. Aid. Teeter remarked that those oe- cupving places on Main street were usually willing to clear off their portions of the walk.**, and those owning vacant lots facing on the walks ought to do th.- same. His worship agreed in this. To shovel tli" snow off the various walks would cost considerable money, and it would not be long now till the sun took it off. He walked the streets »s much as anyone and he found them in good shit]:)*.'. La.-t year's experience with cleaning off tlie sidewalks waa a bad one uj) he did no', want a repetition of that sort of work d;y.v\\ Aid.

The mayor said that totlean off thi walks on two streets would cost much money, nnd ho didn't think they h;.d authority to make vooaut lot ownen pay. It* was an expensive job aad would cost as much as the ere.'';, saw no necessity for I! rides it would be gettin other two weeks. Aid. Henderson thought thi streri were pretty well opened up. To chop th* sidewalks off would cost fully 1200. The mayor suggested lavin;; the matter over till u- ... week. Aid. Teeter hoped thai liefore another winter came around that | sion would bo mad. ensuring the walks being cleared off. Aid. Smith elated that in eastern towns it waa customary t'» run a plow over the walks every morning after a storm, but bere he did not ihink they could afford it. Aid. Teeter moved that the petition be laid over. Second -d by Aid.Smith and carried. Bylaw No. 21. for raising a temporary loan of $2000, waa taken up aed given its third reading.

On Friday G.O.Buchannn,of Kaslo, the commissioner appointed by the Dominion government to administer the lead boUnty, visited the camp for the purpose of getting in order the cl iims of local shippers. As the Slocan City division is practically a dry ore territory, the claims are fuw and small. The properties entitled to the bounty are tne Nansen, Hampton, l .- I, Rustler, Black I'rince and Enterprise. The lirst four have claims so small that they are not worth considering. That' of the Black Prince amounts to a little over £11 on the two ears shipped in December... with an additional amount for the January output. The Enterprise- has a tidy little sum coming since July 1 last. All claims must lx. made monthly and are payable on the basis of 60 per cent of the bounty, which is 7*5 cents per hundred pounds. Up to the end of January there had been 596,000 of bounty money earned by the British Columbia mine-. There are ss properties on the list, but about 40 of these have insignificant claims. The remainder will average over $1500 each, so that the money will be widely distributed. The largest claimant is the Highland, of Ainsworth, which will get -SlS.OtM) for its share.

NuUoii Ipterraetllatei Defeated in n Kmi mui Clean Game. Tuesday evening the fastest and cleanest game of hockey yet seen in Slocan took place at the skating link, 'oetwwm Nelson and Slocan teams. Th- former were Intermediates, while the latter were a combination of seniors and juniors. Both teams were very evenly lnatched.though the heme boys were a little heavier, which enabled theni to win out, by a score of 0 goals to 7. The Nelson boys were quite confident of victory, but they met with a surprise. Thev had lots of c.iin to bet, but fortunately for them s -Ives found no takers. Th" smallness of the rink interfered with the visitors' combination and placed them at a disadvantage, while the ice at the last became somewhat soft and heavy. Almost every person in town turned out to see the match, and the noise they kicked up was terrific, ft was a godd-natured crowd and they cheered the visitors almost as liberally as t! e home team. From the face-off the paccwas terrific, there being scarcely any rnugh play or olT-side work, so the referee had an easy time. At the half, Slocan was ahead 4 to 2. but N'elson quickly took the lead when play recommenced. Five minutes from time Sloean wakened up aud scored three goals, which gave them the victory. The onlv mishap during the evening happened to Wallace, of Nelson, who butted iuto a post instead of into his opponent and he got laid out for a while. For the visitors Baker, Shirpaud Greyerblehl seemed to be It. and for the home team Pinchbeck, Hicks, Milne and tlonnley shoncwith the others pretty close up. Tains in goal slopped some wicked fihots,while McMillan and Lindow worked double liift:-; when they got wai'tinnl up. It was an excitlug game till the way through,'giving the rooters splendid . j ilort'unity to ;jet in their fine work. The teams were: N ".' SON.

CANFIELO Copyr1«bt. WS. by T. C. McCIaro Elm Dale was tbe scene of Joyful preparation, for Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Hammood ivere soon to celebrate tbelr golden wedding. From far and near their children and grandchildren were coming to tbe old country borne under tbe great elms. All of tbe neighbors were interested in the coming event, and a number of tbeui were pledged "to help out on chairs and china." Patience Saybin, familiarly known as "Patty." and ber brother lived only a mile from Elm Dale, but tbey had not been asked to contribute, and Patty felt slighted. "I've offered to lend tbem everything on tbe place, even you, Jobn," sbe said to ber brother, "but Mrs. Hammond says tbey have all tbe arrangements made. I did want a finger In the pie." John laughed. "Never mind, little girl." he said consolingly. "Mr. Hammond says tliey may ask us to 'sleep' one or two if the old bouse won't bold them all." The day before the celebration Mrs. Hammond drove over in the morning to see Patty. "I thought we could stow 'em all away." she said, with a smile, "but I was thinking Mary had four children 'stead of Ave. 1 don't see how I came to forget little David when I counted noses. I've tieeu wondering, dear, if you'd let blm sleep here—either bim or one of tbe others''" "Oh, yes!"' Patty cried delightedly. "I should love to. Mrs. Hammond." The old lady smiled. "I brought his picture along." she said, "so you could see what a dear little fellow he was." Patty teent eagerly over the photograph. A pleasant little face smiled at ber from the cardboard—the round, dimpled face of a flve-yearoli "He's a perfect cherub V she cried. "I'm expecting most of my children this evening, and If bis folks come I'll .send him over before bedtime." The dear old lady forgot to tell Patty tbat tbe picture of David was taken twenty-three years before. All that day Patty was very busy preparing "little David's room." An old high chair and trundle bed were brought down from tbe attic and dusted. Lizzie, tbe good natured girl In tbe kitchen, made .some little round cakes, and Patty frosted them and put n pink "D" on the top of two or three. When evening came everything was In readiness for tbe expected guest Tbe tin waiter and tiny knife, fork und plate were on the dining room table, and tbe little rocker held out Its welcoming arms In the sitting room. An old rocking horse tbat bad been John's long ago waited patiently for its gallant rider, and a little woolly dog stood on three legs with an air of •expectation. The day bad been a long one to Patty. At 7 o'clock she was rearranging tbe furniture in little Davids room when ths doorbell rang. She went to the head of tbe stairs and called to Lizzie. "Hurry, Lizzie!" she cried. "They've brought little David over. Take blm into the sitting room and amuse bim. I'll be down iu a few minutes." She flitted buck to ber work and did not bear Lizzie's exclamation of astonishment when she opened the door and saw a big, broad shouldered man standing there. Probably he bad overheard Patty's Instructions to the girl, for his eyes were full of laughter, though he said soberly enough: "Good evening. I uin David Terrell. Miss Saybin wus expecting me, I believe?" "Y-y-yes, sir," Lizzie stammered, "but she wasn't expectln* quite"— She paused ln embarrassment "Quite as much of me?" be asked laughingly. Lizzie giggled and led tbe way to the sitting room. The little cbalr held out Its welcoming arms In vain to tbls guest. David Terrell's eyes rested at once upon tbe rocking horse and woolly dog, and his expression momentarily grew more cheerful. "Were these—ahem—these preparations mude iu my lionor?" be asked Lizzie. Kut before the girl could answer a sweet voice came from the upper landing, "Are you amusing him, Lizzie?" Lizzie giggled hysterically. "Tell her you nre," the young man whispered. "Yes'tn," she called In muffled tones from behind her apron. "Show him the picture books," the voice went on. "und If the little fellow Is tired tuke hiin up In your Inp." Lizzie stepped into the lower ball and turned her laughing face up to her mistress. "Please, ma'am, I can't," she said. "I'd hate to try." "I'm ushamed of you!" the Indignant reply came. "I'll come right down and take hlm myself." Lizzie-fled to the kitchen, and there wns the quick click of heels on the stairs. Then David Terrell saw a pretty picture framed In the wide doorway. Miss Patty stood tbere. with surprise nnd disappointment plainly written on ber expressive face. j "Where-wbere la"— sbe began in a bewildered woy. David enme forward. "I don't know where he Is," be said. "If I did I'd get blm for you, Miss Saybin." i "You?" she asked. "Yes. I'm little David's successor. Will you forgive mo for growing older and larger, Miss Saybin?" Kor a moment the sensitive moutb quivered. Sbe had anticipated so much, j Tben sbe held out her band and said, with a smile, "I suppose feu can't Itslp It, but yon don't look much like yoar picture." "Oh, that's it! Grandmother showed you that small boy photo, did she?'* Patty nodded and smiled again. After all. this David bad pleasant eyes, quite Uke tbe little fellow's. "I am glad tbat you came," she said hospitably. "My brother and I are often lenely, and Jobn will be delighted to entertain some one of bis own age. I hear bim coming now." And sbe rose snd went to tbe door to meet bim. "John," David beard her say, "Mr. Terrell ls bere." "Mr. Terrell T tbe answer cam*. "And wbo is he, Patty?' "Hush! He'll hear us. It te little Di- vid Dou't laugh so loud, John!" Sbe slapped ber band into bis and led bim to tbe sitting room, and ln a few minutes tbe three young people were on tbe short road to friendship. Late in tbe evening tbey adjourned to tbe dining room for a little luncb. Patty had forgotten tbe high cbalr and its accompaniments, and It was with a feeling of dismay that sbe saw tbelr visitor's eyes traveling In that direction. "Are these things for my use?' he asked laughingly. "What things?' Patty said Innocently* "This high chair, tin tray and so on." "Ob," sbe said, wltb a guilty glance at John, "those belong to my brother." John stared at ber ln amazement His face grew crimson with suppressed mirth wben Mr. Terrell said, "How old ls yonr little brother?' "Twenty-seven." Pstty answered demurely, and Jobn exploded wltb laughter. "No good pretending. Patty." be cried. "Better show htm all of my old possessions, including tbe trundle bed, but we'll not ask him to occupy it." Tbe morning of the golden wedding dawned clear and bright It was a day filled with happiness for all wbo gathered at tbe old borne. At 10 that night David Terrell gave John and Tatty full account of "the gathering of the clans," as be called lt In conclusion he said, "I shall bave to ask you to keep me another nlgbt, but after tbat tbere will be room for me at Elm Dale." "I tbougbt you said you must go tomorrow," Jobn exclaimed. "Yes; tbafs so. but since then"—and he glanced quickly at Patty—"I've made otber arrangements. My brother and I are partners, and Jim ls willing tbat I should have my summer vacation now." "Ob," Patty cried, "I'm so glad! Aren't you, Jobn?" "Yes," he said heartily, but tbis sudden change of plans made bim suspicious. David made good use of tbose four weeks. His grandmother laughingly accused him of spending half of bis vacation with tbe Saybins. The last day came, and David walked over for a farewell visit He found Patty alone on the vine shaded porch. Jobn was away on business, sbe explained. "Never mind," David said cheerfully. "It ls you I wish to see." Her clear eyes were raised to bis inquiringly. "Will you keep your word," be said gently, "and take me?" "My word!" sbe murmured wonder- Ingly. "Yes. Before I saw yon I heard yon tell Lizzie tbat you were coming downstairs and you wonld take me yourself." There was a mischievous light in bis eyes now. Patty's face flushed. "Yon know I didn't mean"— sbe began. Hs Interrupted ber anxiously. "Bnt you will take me, dear, on trial for tbe sake of little David?" Sbe smiled into the honest eyes, ao like those of tbe child ln the picture. "Yes," she said, "for the sake of little David's successor." Sara- Pilfer*- aa- f .bl>..t.

The otber day. when he visited Sarah in Paris at her biff house in the Boulevard Pereire. Thompson found that she had forgotten him. He discovered this fact when he picked up a beautifully illustrated book by the tragedienne, which to his surprise was "Noel." Mr. Thompson was staring at it as one stares at the ghost of an old sweetheart, when Mrae. Sarah came swift-footed, rustling in an orango colored morning gown. •-Oh!" she exclaimed, notic- ing tlie book in his hand. "Have you 1 read it? A little thing, but real—une tranche de la vie.

Ah, those days, those davs!" —San Francisco Argonaut. ta—* TSmX •■ KM-satta "• Judge BischofJ. of tho Supreme Court of New York, has formally decided, what scarcelv called for a judicial decision, that love is not a legal essential to marriage. Even to obtain a husband or a wife under false pretences, that is to say by pretending love is not a fraud of such a nature as to invalidate the contract.' The astonishing thing is that the issue ahould have beeo seriously raised in a court of law; hut the text of the judgment suggests a possible explanation in the fact that the lady in the case is an actress, and it ia by no means rare tor the law to be used for advertising actresses. The learned judge adds: "If the facts alleged in this case could suffice for an annulment, marriai*.) for love would be the only lawful marriage—a condition favored by the poets, but not as yet adoDted in our system of jurisprudence" It is to be feared that so many marriages have t>een promoted by false assertions of affection that it would be practically impossible for the. courts to recognize this kind of fraud as ground for divorce.

From this four dividends of 2h por cent each were paid, Earned profits so large must necessarily mean that an immense sum of money has been distributed in wage*, and for supplies at the several collieries, making good times and aiding general prosperity, Bul perhaps of more vital in terest to the well being of the province is the statement made at the annual meeting of the Le Koi mine, in I.on don, last week, that the property had made $100,000 profit for the year ending June ,'t(), HK'.'l. ami that for January of this year a further sum of $.">(>,- tXX) was earned. The Le Roi has been regarded as the premier mine iu British Columbia by tin- Investing public in Great Britain, and its changing fortunes have been reflected upon the other mines owned and operated by British capital. When the Whittaker Wright bauble broke, Le Boi's went all to pieces, as did many other provincial stocks, but careful management hns restored the mine to the dividend stage and confidence has been renewed, to the lasting benefit of the Kossland camp and tjip whole proi ince.
