A Mother Gone.

1t is always sad to think of moth
er taken from her home and her fam
lily, and it is peculiarly sad and dis
tressing when fond mother is taken
from an infant and little ones. The

our town, is saddened today by the
death of his wife and the mother Of
his infant Of few days and his little
one of two years. She died Of puer
peral fever January lst The bereav
ed ones have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community of friends
and acqualntances. The remains Of
the deceased were will be shipped t.
the old home in Iowa for final inter
ment where they will rest until al
graves give up their dead.

ted from the family residence Satur

Ennre Rock No More.

There is always something very pa
thetic in the sight of an aged couple
who have struggled and built up a
prosperous home forced to convey that
home to the hands of others, strang-
ers it may be. There is always sad
ness accompanying the breaking up of
old and pleasant associations and the
leaving of old homes. There is al.
ways sorrow to creep over us when
we recall the abandoned scenes and
places of auld lang syne.
"How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood
When fond recollection present:
them to view"
Such feeling, in part, must creeI
over the old time Eagle Rockers nov
that the name of the town which the,
have struggled so hard to build i
taken away from them. But it is ev
er thus through life; one plants an'
another eats the fruit of that which !
planted. In the future Eagle Roc
will be known as town of the pas
and Idaho Falls the town OF the fl
ture. May it ever prosper.

Moscow turned herself loose when
u. s. Senator elect Mcconnell reach
ed home. Cannons were fired, bells
rung, brass horns footed, torch light
professions filed along the streets and
the whole city cried-Let JOY be un-
restrained. The great rejoicing clos
ed with magnificent banquet at the
Hotel McGregor, where wine. wit and
eloquence flowed in profusion. Long
live Senator Mcconnell.
Here are some curious facts from
almanac lore which is not generally
known: The days Of the month and
week are always the same in March
and November, in April and July and
in September and December; that is,if
March comes in on Monday Novem-
Der will do likewise, the same rule ap-
plying 10 the other months named.
In leap-year January is with April
and July in other years is with Octo-
ber. February in leap-years is with
August, in other years with October.
The same is true Of May-day and
Christmas.
We have time and again been ask
ed why the jury system of twelve was
adopted, and for the information Of
our readers we now give the reasons.
The system was adopted in the days
of jewish prosperity and for the fol
lowing reasons:
The jury of IL was adopted because
the prophets we're II; the apostles
were ~; there were II Jewish judges
l2 pillars of the temple, IL patriarchsr
IL tribes of Israel, ~ signs of the
zodiac, IL gates of Jerusalem. When
juries were first established the judge
took the jurors around with him in Z
cart until they agreed. If they didn''
agree they we're ined and imprisoned

Feeling for a Dog.
New York Word.

There was young man, followed by a
bird dog, walking around the Delaware
and Lackawanna depot at Hoboken the
other day, and as the dogs tail appeared
to have been lately cut off pretty close to
his ears, stranger made bold to inquire;
Excuse me, but isn't that a bird dogs"
HE is, SIR"
Il thought so, though he looks very
queer. Meet with an accident?"
mo, sir. cut his tail Off myself"
Got injured. did it?" persisted the man.
Not at all, sir. did it out of feeling
for the dog. I've had him five years. Up
to three months ago I was worth $4,000,
but then got scooped out of every shil-
ling. The dog had an elegant brush and
carried it as proud as king, but when 1
was reduced to poverty he felt the change
and realized that a proud tail was incon-
slstent with the social standing of poor
mans dog therefore cut it off and made
his looks agree with nay aid elathas, sud
he's happy again"

The Best Things
In Cookery

Are always made with the ROYAL BAK-
ING POWDER. 1t imparts that peculiar
llghtness, sweetness and flavor noticed
IN the finest rolls, biscuit, cake, etc.,
and which the most expert pastry cooks
declare is unobtainable by the use of
any other raising agent.
The ROYAL BAKING POWDER, besides
rendering the food more palatable and
wholesome, is, because of its higher
leavening power, the most economical.
The ROYAL makes more and better
food than any other baking powder
because it is the purest.

THE TURNPIKE ROAD.
BY ANNIE LOUISE BRAKENRIDGE

80 strange 1t seems, SO strange and sweet.
That hero LIES busy tide once flowed;
That bravely trod our grandsire's feet,
With light heart, or with heavy load,
Through this forsaken turnpike road.
AS waEl4LIlg Ia somo I,oIy navo
We tread the grass grown rnts today;
AS II they marked some ancient grave,
We search upon the milestnnes gray
Their numbers almost worn away.
Beyond the wood and winding stream
Beat the worlds pulses, strong and clear,
With roar and rush of steel and steam;
But, changeless through the changing year.
A sacred silence reigneth here.
Yet violets and the windfower sweet
In fairy hosts here greet the spring,
And following Summers hasting feet,
Blue Gentian-shy and winsome thing
Comes forth to hear the last bird sing.
And Fancy weaves a mystic spell
Around this nook In Natures bowers;
Perchance the smiles and tears that fell,
The conquests and defeats as well
That made life in those bygone hours,
Have here found root and bloom in flowers.
And could it be, on every tomb
las TO our toilwon goal we speed),
That some sweet flower should live and bloom,
Harvest OF brave or holy deed
All, who could ask a richer meed2
God rest their souls in byways fair,
Who heavenly seed on earth have sowed.
While We who still LIES burdens bear
Patently lift our loads of care,
Renewing for our last abode
Such bloom as fills the turnpike road.
