Burned.
m of Rosentrator &
leTnmi, in I^yons, was burn-
•ed at 3:30 o'clock Sunday morn-
ing. When first discovered the
flames had made great headway
and all attempts at putting out
the fire were unavailing. The
•ntire stock of goods wat* des-
troyed together with the build-
ing. The books alone «ere ssv-
ad. The loss to the proprietors
of the Kaloon is about $2,1)0()
-with no hisuranse. The building
which was the property of John
Danchak was also without in-
surance and was worth about
•l,500. The origin of the fire is
unknown and there is uo cine as
to how it started.
Danchak and Knglernan will
erect a brick buildiug on the site
and resume business therein.
A barber and sh«><> shop, for
colored people, near this building
jrJis also burned.

GAVE PEOPLE HONEST DEAL
_______
election Judge Took Prooautlofts to
Prevent Customary Stuffing of
Ballot Box.
I mmmm
It would be unfair to tell ths
name of the author.oi this story; but
it is too good to plis up.
In Tennessee not many years ago
it was a sport and a science in some
sections to stuff the ballot boxes so
that, no matter how the people voted,,
the machine candidates won. In one
little town an enthusiast for honest
government was named a« one of the
board of three election judges. His
two companions were ready to slip-
info the ballot box enough votes to
elect their man; but they could not
get the honest judge to leave the
voting booth long enough for them
to turn the trick. Finally, after he
had refused to leave long enough for
lunch, all three went to a neighbor-
ing hotel for a lmsty meal.
The honest judge, who was also
very devout, put the ballot box on
the floor between hia feet and, shut-
ting his eyes, bowed his head for sev-
eral minutes while he asked the
blessing on the meal.
While he was doing this the other
two stuffed the box, and the machine
candidates had a staggering ma-
jority. And to this day the honest
judge advertises the fact that for
once he made the election judges
give the people of his town an honest
deal.
unknown labrador.
Labrador is an unknown region to
most people, but a glance at the map
will show that it is a vast peninsula,
with a total area of 500,000 square
miles, lying north of Belle Isle
strait and embraced in the north
temperate zone, the southern section
lying along the same parallels as the
great wheat growing areas of west-
ern Canada. Newfoundland owns
and administers the eastern section
of Labrador, fronting on the Atlan-
tic, and expeditions have explored it
for some years past, but, naturally
only superficially, because its im-
mensity of area is such as to preclude
a detailed investigation. The official
reports, however, show that the coun-
try is splendidly wooded, and that in
Hamilton inlet. Sandwich bay, and
other districts on the east coast
there is splendid timber nnd some of
the greatest water powers in the
world, while the region, being open
to navigation for seven months < f
the year, possesses the same advan-
tage?. for the pulp and paper indus-
try as the mi Hi in those parts of
northern Europe which supply Eu-
ropean centers today.

IN TWO VOLUMES.
There is an amusing anecdote
about King Louis of Bavaria in
Lady Dorothy Nevill's reminis-
cences: "Resolving to relieve the
needs of one of his poor but brave
aids-de-camp, he sent him a small
portfolio, bound like a book, in-
which were deposited 500 crowns.
Some time afterward he met the of-
ficer and said to him, 'Ah, well, how
did you like the new work which I
sent you?' 'Excessively, sire,' replied
the colonel. '1 read it with such in-
terest that I expect th«i second vol-
ume with impatience.' The king
smi'°d, and when the officer's birth-
day arrived, he presented him with
another portfolio, similar in every
respect to the first, but with thqpe
words engraved upon it: 'This book
is completo in two volumes.' "
