A Modern Cinnerf.
' A modern cannery is a marvel of me
chanical ingenuity. After the 3sh is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work, even in
some instances tilling the cans with a
motion for all the world like that of
two human hands, one holding the cat
the other crowding it full of raw fish.
I shall not attempt to enter Into a de
scription of the machinery. The can of
fish is started rolling on Its way, and
one has tlie impression that it contin
ues to roll through machine after ma
chine, hardly touched by human bands
Tt rolls into the cooker and out a sain,
even .?oils itself into a bright colored
label, and finally somehow rolls Into a
parkin',' box, ready to be loaded in the

Tom Tobin.
Tom Tobin, a famous Indian
ecout of Kit Carson's day, is dead
at Garland, Colo., at the age of
eighty-two. He was especially noted
for the killing of the Espinosas, the
fanatics who started out to kill at
many white people as possible. To
bin was perhaps the only man thev
ever met who lived to tell the sto
ry. He was saved by a pocketbook,
which stopped the bullet. lie de
termined to rid the frontier of the
bloodthirsty creatures and succeed
ed one day in trailing them into a
thicket and shooting them. The
heads of both savages were cut off
and taken into Fort Garland' for
exhibition by the old scout. Tobin

You can cross the three most da?
gerous streets In Manchester on an
average 3,000 time? in safety, but the
three thousand and first time you will
be run over. If you are not, somebody
else will be in your place, for the av
erage a year never fails by more than
a point or two either there or in Lon
don. But in London you can only pass
the crossing at Blackfriars bridge,
which is the most dangerous spot in
the city. 550 times. You may be the 1
lucky person who escapes by chance,
but somebody is certain to suffer to
keep the average up. counting the ac
cidents over a space of five years up
to date. Next comes the Mansion
House crossing, with a 700 to one
chance.? London Answers.

"Our New Minister."
It is always' difficult to judge
the life of a play, and many of
the most talked of successes rarely
survive a second season. When
"Our New Minister," Denman
Thompson and Geo. W. Ryer's
greatest of all character plays,
which comes again to the Auditor
ium, was first introduced four
years ago its most ardent admirer
could not have foretold its lasting
popularity. "Our New Minis
ter" is synonymous with the
word success, and its destinies are
carefully watched over by that
enterprising managerial firm, Mil
ler C Conyers. Always the best
of everything of its kind is their
watchword, which accounts" for
all the favorites of the now fa
mous all star cast being retained
year after year. These principles
have created and maintained the
liberal patronage that "Our New
Minister" enjoys.
Chamberlain's Cougli Remedy
Absolutely Harmless. |
The fault of giving children
medicine containing injurious
substances, is sometimes more dis
astrous than the disease from
which they are suffering. Every
mother should know that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is per
fectly safe for children to take.
It contains nothing harmful and
for coughs, colds and croup is un
surpassed. For sale by Hill Bros.
The "Book of the
Royal 3Jue" for 1905
The January number "Book of
the Royal Blue," starts the New
Year with a most interesting col
lection of sketches and poems by
several of the best known writers
in the United States.
The illustrated poem, "Goin'
Home," by Mr. Gillilan of Balti
more, gives a delightful impres
sion to the reader, which is kept
up to the end.
Mr. Taber of New York, con
tributes more "Ballads to Bad
Babies," and a most delightful
"Song of the Cat Bird," whieh is
published by his special permis
sion, and which is to form part of
an operetta under preparation.
Edmund Vance Cooke of Cleve
land, the popular liumorist-lec
turer, contributes a breezy little
sketch entitled "Adam."
Mr. Daly of Philadelphia, fur
nishes a story entitled "Draft
ed."
Mr. Robbins of Newark, N. J.,
has "A Page of Robbins."
Mr. Lewis of Norfolk, continues
"Stub Ends of Thought," which
now are universally known and
copied.
The interesting description of
the Relief department of the Bal
timore &) Ohio railroad in this
number should be read by every
railroad* man. It presents some
features of railroading that are
not generally known.
A new department has been es
tablished in the January number
which will increase the readers'
interest from time to time. The
newest and best things from the
pens of the American Press Hu
morists will appear each month
under the heading, "Humor and
the Humorists."
The "Book of the Royal Blue"
is a real magazine, and differs
only from others in that its ad
vertising pages are used exclu
sively by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company. The quality
of is reading matter in many
cases is better than the average.
The greatest care is exercised
in selecting articles for publica
tion. which accounts for its in
creasing popularity in the eight
years of its existence.
The subscription price is but 50
cents a year; single copies 5 cents.
