Last year we told you in this pa
per something about the Chiffon
Paints, how they are made from the
best materials that can be bought,
how they are mixed by machinery,
and how we turn out paint super

did not paint your house last year.
Perhaps some one in your place has
used the Chiffon Paints. IF you
want to paint this year, go and ask
the man who used the Chiffon Paint
how he liked it, ask him all about
it how much paint ittook, ifa gallon
covered as much surface as he expect
ed, if it was easy to put on, etc.
You can see for yourself how it
looks. Ifyou don't like the colors
he used, send to us for color card.

MiSCtiIEvOUS ROBERT,
Young Hawkes. Also Had q Fair Share Of
COnceit.

Young Hawkes. Also Had Fair Share of
COnceit.
Robert S. Hawkes.. always known
as "the Vicar OF MOrwenstowe, and
a poet Of no mean ability, was
brought up by his grandfather, a
very learned and religious man. In
the church where this old gentlemen
preached the evening service always
closed with hymn, Lord, dismiss
us with thy blessing" which was
composed by Doctor Hawkes. himself.
His grandson. who did not know the
authorship Of the hymn, came to the
Doctor one day with a paper in his
hand, saying:
Grandfather, l don't altogether
like That hymn, Lord, dismiss us
with thy blessing l think it mig ht
be improved in metre and language,
and that it would be better ii it were
somewhat longer"
"Oh, indeed" said Doctor Hawkes.,
reddening. And pray, Robert, what
improvements commend themselves
to your precious wisdom?"
This is my improved version, 4"
said Robert, and he read aloud a
very creditable hymn, after which
he repeated the old version, saying
innocently, "This one is crude and
fiat; don't you think so, grand
father?"
Crude and fiat, sir! Young puppy,
1t is mine! l wrote that hymn!"
"Oh, l beg your pardon, grand
father. | didn't know that. It's a
very nice hymn, indeed, but" as he
went out of the door-"mine Is
BETTER"
Some people think he was right in
his Judgment, though not, perhaps,
in expressing it.
Such a mischievous fellow was
Robert that the parish clerk once
exclaimed:
Il doan't care whether l ring the
bells on the kings birthday, but If l
never touch the ropes again, I'll give
peal when Robert goes to school
and leaves Stratton folks in peace!"
Il don't know how it is" said his
brother one day, but when l 20 out
nutting with Robert, he gets all the
nuts; when 90 rabbiting, he gets
all the rabbits, and when we go out
fishing together, he catches all the
fish,"
"COme with me fishing to- morrow, y
said Robert, "and see If you don't
have luck"
Next day he slyly fastened a
red herring to his brothers hook.
"There," he exclaimed, when it was
drawn out Of the water. "you are
twice as lucky as 1 am! My fish are
all raw, and yours is ready-cleaned,
smoked and salted"-Youth's Com

COntagiOuSness Of IIeprOsy,

In a paper giving the result of his
careful and prolonged Investigations
of this subject, DR.. Duncan Buckley
declares that it is not proven that
any number of individuals have ever
acquired the disease from direct con-
tact with Others affected, or that it
has ever been traced, in any propor-
tion of cases worth mentioning, di-
rectly from one person to another.
There is strong reason to suspect, he
says, that it may first be introduced
into the system by the way of food,
fish being the most likely of all SUBJ
stances to furnish and convey the
poison; heredity probably accounts
for share Of the cases. but the dis
ease is not necessarily transmitted by
inheritance; incubation with leprous
matter may be the means of convey
ing the disease when all the condi-
tiOns are favorable.

A Cure for Stammcring.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood up to manhood gives a
very simple remedy for his misfor-
tune. He says: $50 into room
where you will be quiet and alone,
get some book that will interest but
not excite you, and sit down and read
two hours aloud to yourself, keeping
your teeth together. Do this every
two or three days-or once a week il
very observation-disclosures taking care to
read slowly and distinctly, moving
the lips but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to
speak as slowly and distinctly as pos
sible, and make up your mind that
you will not Stammer.
'The first result was to make my
jaws ache-that is, while l was read
ing-and the next to make me feel
as If something had loosened my
talking apparatus, for I could speak
with less difficulty Immediately. The
change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. repeat
ed this remedy every five or six days
for a month, and then at longer in
tervals until cured"

Gently celebrated his 9Sth birthday

of a clerk his father was ruined when
young Baynes was l6 years old. Ten
years later the young man sailed for

for five years. After practicing in

Dean Swift, was one day overtaken
by storm in the country. Seeking
shelter beneath tree, he found there

girls was weeping bitterly, and the
Dean, upon making sympathetic its
qulries as to the cause thereof, learned
that she was on her way to church to
marry a young man who was WITH
her.
"Never mind, Ill marry you." said,
the Dean, and taking out his prayef:'

ceremony. To make the ceremony
complete, he tore leaf from his

wrote and signed certificate, and

The Drug Clerks Eun.

Drug clerks often derive amuse-
ment from the prescriptions that are
left with them. A prescription which
called for certain tablets, and which
was written by Chicago physician,
was put up in downtown phar-
macy the other day. The directions
were as follows: zone tablet every
two hours for five days, skip four
days and commence again." The
pharmacist smiled when he wrote
the label, and professional etiquette
alone prevented him from asking the
customer, who weighed about $50
pounds, if he thought he would sur
vlve after so much skipping. An
other prescription caused the patient
himself to laugh when he read the
doctors directions, which were

Idaho.

1dahO's claims to statehood entitle
her to instant admission to the Union.
She has population of 100, 900 people
and her cities and towns are thriving
and progressive. In the Snake River
Valley there is 5000, 900 acres of prolific
land. 1t needs but irrigation and the
tickle of the hoe to blossom into har-
vest. Even by private enterprise irri.
eating works are spreading with amaz-
ing rapidity, and if the Government
takes up the matter, in less than a
dozen years in this valley will be locat-
ed the happy homes of half million
people.
Some lucky chance gave to Idaho its
name. In the Indian dialect Idaho
signifies "Gem of the Mountains" and
surely it is an appropriate name. 1t is
the Switzerland of America, land of
enchanted lakes, of beautiful rivers,
glaciers, forests, of sweet smiling val
leys, of weird, wild and varied mountain
scenery, with its thousand domes of
everlasting snow. And yet its glorious
contour falls into naught when COM
pared to the treasures that lie within.
Hidden beneath these mountains are
mines of lead, copper, silver and gold
more precious than those which gave
to California the name of the Golden
State. As yet these mines have been
merely scratched, and the present year
will witness the most extraordinary re-
suits from the development of the
Idaho mines. Idaho is destined to be-
come the home of bold and hardy race.
1t is already the home of bright and
enterprising people, who are in every
sense worthy of American citizenship,
and they should have it.-Tacoria
