The selection by J. Tj. Barton of J. T TTnruh for his deputy and W. J.

Every American citizen who has read anything on the subject of the Alasfcan boundary dispute believes that the United States should hola on foot of ground to which she is entitled.

INFORMATION AND OPINION. Ernest Bauer, an extensive poultry raiser of Coffey ville, Kan.,having read in an agricultural journal that Doraclc acid would preserve chicken meat al most indefinitely, assumed that the chemical should be mixed with the feed of the fowls and given to them to eat. He tried the experiment, with the result that 762 of his 800 chickens died within twenty-four hours. He sued the editor of the paper, but the court held that any man of ordinary intelligence should have known better than to try to preserve the flesh or living fowls by means of chemicals. Concerning the Dewey home inci dent a Kansas City newsboy is reported to have expressed his sentiments aa follows: "You Bae,itTs dia way wid us El evenin If anybody who is our fren' gits in trouble, we're wid him tru it all.

Indeed, at that time our shoes were not regarded as superior to thoso of German manu-i facture, but the many improvements which have been made in machinery, together with the careful study which our manufacturers have made of style and comfort, have placed our shoes in the front rank.

Upon such occasions ft kas been his custom to borrow ths first maid's apron con venient. This good, housewifely ten dency to use aa apron being known, there came to ths man from out of town the two big aprons, which were probably the beet appreciated of all his Christmas gifts and were exhibited with ths greatest pride.
