Truth commends the publication and advises people to buy and send them to their eastern friends. By the way, the governor has a letter to the world at large as a leader on the editorial page. It is a well written document. If the governor hadnt been thinking all the time he was writing it that the matter was going to he printed in a magazine it would have been better still, no doubt. But it is all right, nevertheless. Thats the kind of advertising this state needs. This sensational stuff which' filfs thij press from time to time does no good.

She is always doing something and the berjity of her work is that she never does anything wiinout doing it well. Halatest success was at the concert for the benefit of the Orphanage on St. Patricks eve, at the Theatre, where she directed all the juvenile talent which delighted the immense audience. But Noras work wasnt confined to that portion of the entertainment alone. Of course that was enough for any one person to attempt, but, realizing her capabilities for doing a whole lot of haru work, those who might have assisted her left her to take care of the seating of the dignitaries; the decorations, the arrangement of everything. She never faltered for a minute, but went right ahead and performed wonders.

The remunerations of the city auditor, $125 a month, and of the city recorder and city treasurer each $150 a month, is too small for the work and the respon- sibility incidental to the offices. The business of each, moreover, has increased nearly 40 per cent within the past few years, hut the remuneration is the same as formerly.
