Freights to Garry Passengers.

The Southern Railway has given
orders that passengers may be allowed
to ride on all freight trains. Hereto
fore none of the freights would carry
passengers and the regulation was
strictly observed. Now they can ride
class fare. This is great convenience
to the drummers, who often wish to
go from one town to another between
passenger trains.

Der sold during the last run Mr.. Will
liams has spent considerable money
building good wagon road in 70 that
country and he now proposes to donate
the road to Boise county IL they will
receive it as a county road. We under
stand that the last board Of Commission
ers OF that county refused to grant a
petition TO have the road accepted as a
county road on the ground that the
greater part Of the trade to the saw
mills Of that section come from Ada
and Canyon Counties. We have not
been informed as to whether the present
board will take the same view Of the
matter or not. but il they are wide
awake business men they will certainly
feel that it is to the advantage of their
county to encourage outside trade that
brings in cash money in exchange for
lumber. After the road being built and
that part Of the county opened up
by private individual. the county com.
missioners should certainly be public
spirited enough to keep it in good re
pair

The Cigarette. Habit In Germany. /.

am pleased to think that as yet
there are no signs that smoking will
become a public vice with women,
however it may be in private in this
country. In Germany the habit has
become so pronounced that an applica-
ton for separate smoking compart-
ments for women has been made to tho
railway authorities. The reply was
rather curious, yet very much to the
point: women who smoke are men,
consequently, they may go and smoke
with the other men,"

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrocious maladies, dan.
gerous in themselves and productive Of other s.
1t is the disregard Of the earlier indications OF
i'll health which leads to the establishment OF
all sorts Of maladies on q chronic basis. More.
over, there are certain disorders incident to the
season, such as malaria and rheumatism,
against which it is always desirable to fortify
the system after exposure to the conditions
which produce them. Cold. damp and miasma
are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters. After you have incurred risk from
these influences, a wineglassful of iHostetter'a
Stomach Bitters directly afterward should be
swallowed. For malaria, dyspepsia, liver com
plant, kidney and bladder trouble, nervousness
and debility it is the most deServedly popular
OF remedies and ~preventiyes. A wineglass ful
before meals promotes appetite.

The Pansy.

A pretty fable Of the pansy IS cur
rent among children. The flower has
five petals and five sepals. In most
pansies, especially of the earlier and
less highly developed varieties, two Of
the petals are plain in color and three
are gay. The two plain petals have q
single sepal,t two of the gay petals have
. sepal each, and the third, which is the
largest of all, has two sepals. The
fable is that the pansy represents a
family, consisting of husband, wife,
and four daughters, two of the latter
being step-children of the wife. The
plain petals are the step-children, with
only one chair; the two small gay
petals are the daughters, with a chair
each, and the large gay petal is the
wife, with two chairs. To find the
father n must strip away the petals
until the stamens and pistils are bare.
They have a fanciful resemblance to
an old man with a flannel wrap about
his neck, his shoulders appraised, and
his feet in q bath tub. The story is
probably of French origin. because the
French call the pansy the stepEother.

Always Welcome.

So courteous are Manxmen, that in
the Isle of Man, no matter at what
hour of the day or night
a stranger arrives, he is said to be
'just in time" for something or an
other.
There is a story that early one
morning a dance vas in progress on
one of the piers, when a shipwrecked
sailor, who had been drifting about
on a spar and had fortunately
"landed' on the Orders below,
craw-ed up the steps. A committee
man came forward--smiled, bowed
and said:
PLEASED to see you, sir. Can
find you a partner?'-Boston Globe.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local .applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Street Fight.
While a senator in Washington the
late Justice Lamar was once knocked
down in the street by a carriage.
Everybody else was alarmed at the
accident, but he took it very coolly,
remarking: "This is only the second
time in my lie that I have been
knocked down.
"Years ago, when 1 was just enter
ing politics, 1 had a dispute with a
local celebrity whom we all knew
about my home as Uncle Jimmy He
was a very powerful fellow, and when
I saw his wrath boiling up l knew
that I had no chance for my life if he
once got after me. He was seated in
a chair, and at something l said he be-
came so enraged that I saw he was
about to make a spring in my direc-
ton. Like a flash I drew a pistol,
covered him with it and exclaimed:
Uncle Jimmy. if you attempt to rise
from that chair l will kill you!'
Uncle Jimmy concluded not to rise,
but he swore vengeance. Not long
afterwards l was in a cross roads store
talking to some of my constituents
when ! heard an exultant voice crv
out behind me, 'Lucius, I've got you
nowp The next instant I felt his fist
on the back of my head and went to
the floor in a heap.
"As soon as I could pick myself up
we clinched and went down again. He
was on top. Ny friends tried to sep
arate us, but as they pulled and tugged
at him he cried out in a whining voice,
I amt holding him; he's holding me-
''Ihe bystanders had wondered why
I kept so silent. They now discovered
that l had Uncle Jimmy's finger be-
tween my teeth, and I would not let
go till he was ready to cry quits"
