PACK TRAIN RESTAURANT
FORCED TO CLOSE
Owine to the fact that there is
practically no travel to or from
the interior during the next three
monttis the proprietors of the
Pack Train Restaurant have de
cided to close the establishment un- :
til the 1st of March. There is not j
enough businses to justify running j
the restpurant on the scale neces-1
eary to keep it up to standard, and
meet expenses at present. They ;
have reached this decision not with,
th® intention of closing permanent- ]
ly but simply to avoid incurring j
heavy losses duriug the dull period!
above mentioned. They full intend
to re-open just as soon as condi
tions ate favorable.
To our patrons:
It fa with much regret that wo
are forced to close the Pack Train
restaurant, beginning Friday night,
for two or 'hree months. There
being no travel to or from the in
terior *o speak of, and very little
local business in our line, we can
not begin to meet our expenses
durinsr the quie< period of the win
ter. We regret very much the in
convenience our action may cause
our regular customers, yet wq have
no alternative under the present
•conditions. We thank you for the
liberal patronage accorded us dur
ing the past, and hope to Bervo you
again i" the near future.

Possible Origin of Khaki,
There tire many versions of the
origin of khaki, but one (hut is new to
me comes from a veteran of the Mini
sters who followed Nicholson through
thu breach ut Delhi.
During the siete there, he tells me,
it was noticed that the white drill uni
forms of the regiment, then known as
the old ''Dirty Shirts." the first Euro
pean Bengal fusiliers of the old com
pany's service, proved excellent marks
in the moonlight for the Sepoy muti
neers who held the city.
The men were told, therefore, to
darken them by any means they could
And. Their method was to boil the uni
forms in tlio "dixies" or regimental
kettles in which tea was made, to
gether with bark stripped from the
trees in the neighborhood, which made
a fairly satisfactory brown dye.
Time does not seem to have brought
any Improvement on the "Dirty
Shirts'" Idea, though it may have im
proved on their methods.—Westminster

"Why is it that all the old lawyers
