Keen Your Temper,

If you want to live to be one hundred
keep your temper. Never mind where
you keep it, only don't let it see the
light O. day, and the chances are lon
gevity for you. Mrs. Charlotte Bell,
who has just celebrated her 1o3rd birth
day, boasts she has never been angry in
her life, and, owing to this equability,
her days are long in the land, though,
unhappily for her. she is to end them in
the almshouse. Some of us do not con-
slider age worth the price. For there is
a good deal of the Greek in our compo-
sitions. in spite Of the mixture of races,
and we Americans would rather die
young than never have a tantrum, or q
''crise des nerfs," as they say in French.
Righteous anger is a good thing. 1t
generally purifies the atmosphere. even
If it does take an hour or so off the al
lotted span.-Boston Herald

Terrible Experience or a Young Man
I'm the Snowy Mountains.
ATLANTA. Idaho. Eel. d


ATLANTA, Idaho, Feb. 25.
While out hunting yesterday
Charles Gaetz Of this place was
caught in a snowslide and carried
down the steep mountain for fully
half mile, but fortunately he es-
capped with his life, after lying in
the cold snow for about eleven hours
with a sprained and bruised hip.
The circumstances are as follows:
About 10 o'clock Saturday morning
Charley shouldered his gun for a
hunt, and after travelling high up in
the mountains was about to return
home. when suddenly the snow
broke loose with him and carried
him down 10 the canyon below,
which is so steep and rocky that ii
would seem impossible for a man TO
take such a ride and come out alive.
Ii was not until it was growing dark
that the poor boys mother and sis
ter began TO fear something had
happened. Then a searching party,
by the aid of lanterns. took his trail
and followed it. About midnight
after lying out in the cold eleven
hours without even fire, the pool
fellow was found by his faithful
brother, Ed, and Theo. Walters
Ed Gaetz at once returned to towr
and notified the people, and it was
not long before nearly every man in
Atlanta was by the side Of the un
fortunate boy. He was placed on {
hand-sled and brought home, I
distance of three miles. Several 0
our good. big-hearted ladies also re
manned up all night in order TO rem
der any assistance i'm their powe
and TO serve a hot lunch for tn
weary rescuers--among them Mis-
Ada and Matte Wootan, Miss Bessi
Holland and Mrs. r. III. Turner
Mrs: Gaetz and family wish to than
the many helping hands that Q
kindly offered assistance. II wi
be remembered that Charley
father was killed by snowslid
! four years ago. Charley says he
badly disfigured but still in I'll

We have more snow here than
