The sad case of the burning to death of the wife of O'Brien at W a a so last Wednesday carries with it a shudder and the deepest feelings of re gret and sympathy for her bereaved family.

Lowes Dickinson, author of A Modern Symposium,' while never him seif passing judgement on the Ameri can people, quite frequently permits his characters to do so, and one of his types, A Modern. Symposium a journalist, makes a remark quite apt in these days of hot discussion over American football, says this speaker in the April McClure's: "They have converted games into battles, and battles in which every weapon is legi timate as long as it is victorious. An American football match exhibits in a type the American spirit, short, sharp, scientific, intense, no loitering by her road, no enjoyment of the process, no favor, no quarter, but a fight to the death, with victory at the end and everything as the means.' A bill recently introduced by Sena tor Nelson for the purpose of getting a tract of land for the use of a sani tarium forconsumptlves in the northern part of the state, was made necessary because there were forty acres of the piece bought by the commission last year that was homestead land and had to be acquired by government title.
