More than usual this year Christmas

peared in Saturdays Standard created
considerable amusement in this city.
1t was reprinted from an eastern pa
per and was descriptive of a peculiar
affection OF the eyes which railway
conductors are apt to have. The arti-
Gle quoted the opinion of eastern medi-
cal men to the effect that II was the
result OF blood poisoning. An old rail-
road man in speaking OF the article to
a reporter said: Il have known many
a conductor to be troubled with his
eyesight. and have seen many a one
leave his lob on account of IT. but out
here in the west nobody is ever char
liable enough to attribute IL to blood
poisoning. 1t has always been called
conductors color-blindness," and has

Undoubtedly Petrified.

Missoula. Dec. 21.-In the Standard
OF last Monday there appeared an ac-
count of the petrifaction of the body
OF a woman buried in Kentucky. A
well known gentleman of Missoula to-
day referred to the story and. i'm dis
cussing IL said: This incident recalls
a similar occurrance with which 1
happened to be familiar. All old resi-
dents of this valley will remember
Rev. Mr. Price. who settled in the Bit
ter Root valley on the present site of
Grantsdale. where he built a grist
mill. About u years ago. l think IL
was. his wife died and was buried near
Grantsdale. A little more than two
years ago the body was exhumed. The
box with its contents was so heavy
that IL required eight men TO lift II.
Mr.. Price would not permit the box to
be opened. but IL was always believed
that the body was petrified- 1t must
have weighed 7t0 pounds.

I'm tired" remarked the spectacular
scoffer, "of reading these stories about
the wayward son or the disowned daugh-
ter who invariably come back on Thanks
giving day or Christmas to be received
into the bosom of the family"
"Why," replied his wife, how hard
hearted you are! Surely you must be
touched by their repentance?"
Not as much as I'd like to be. I'd be
more impressed IL they'd select some day
for coming back home when they aren't
dead sure the family is going to have
roast turkey for dinner."-Washington

rHB HOME MARKET.

Much good advice ls given 10 the
matter Of urging farmers TO patronize
home industry, especially by those
soliciting their trade. IL is poor rule
that cannot be reversed, and the farmers
might with equal impunity urge the
townspeople 10 stand by them on the
same proposition. The subject is en-
titled TO more serious consideration all
around. In fact we eli ought TO pay
more heed to making every home in
dustry profitable.
IT. you are a dry goods merchant, or
clothier, don't send away from home
for your groceries or supplies because
you can get them at Wholesale prices.
Ifyou are a grocer, don't send away
for your dry goods, clothes, or shoes 10
order to save a small discount.
II you are professional man, min.
lister or school teacher, remember
that your income comes from your
home town, and that you should buy
all your necessaries as we'll as luxuries
from the men who make up the COM
munity from which you get your cup
port.
II you expect the town to treat you
well, give your home people all the
patronage you can. In other words
apply the scrptural Injunction OF
doing as you would be done by. Sa-
lem Is one OF the very best towns In
the west aud the best way to keep II
such ls TO help it's people and business
men. Protect your town as you would |
your home or your family and 1t will
always be good town and your own
prosperity will advance with 1t.

Beating the Tariff.

New YORK, Oct. f9.-Loaded up to
her deck with cans OF green-turtle
soup, pompano and guava jelly, the
little two. masted, 100 ton American
schooner Oracle Il. anchored In the
upper bay last night, after cruise of
six months In West India waters. A
curious feature Of the very curious
cargo is that 1t was all manufactured
on board of the schooner, and therefore
is not supposed to be subject to duty
Therein lies the secret Of the original
expedition. II was planned by Ben.
jamin Woods and his associates. They
expect TO undersell the importers.
When the Oracle T. left New York,
April 10 last, she was fitted up as
floating cannery. A chef was taken
along to overlook operations, aud the
rest of the party consisted OF six expert
Gamers and the regular crew.
Besides the turtle soup, guava jelly
and pompano, the captain expected t)
secure and preserve several kinds Of
fish and game. After leaving port
little was heard Of the vessel until she
returned to New York with her valu.

A PROGRESSIVE MAN.

The Eugene Broadaxe considers
Prof. Chapman Of the state University
too progressive along certain lines OF
thought. 1t is trying to make a case Of
outrageously offensive progressIveness
against this president Of the Univer-
sity. Perhaps the same case could be
made against our dear friend. the
Kentucky colonel who wlelds the
Broadaxe. 1t is we'll known that he
is connolsseur IN an article called
Kentucky bourbon. He has 30 fine a
seen for the article that he can close
his eyes, wander carelessly down the
street and locate an establishment that
keeps the genuine article every time.
Now, this IL talent, just a. much as
the professors fine scent for English
literature or 6hakespearean comedies.
The editor runs In another line, that ls
all. Amis is progressive man and in
some communities he would be regard
cd as a prodigy. He Is progressive not
alone In popullsm but he goes quite
beyond the tenets Of that party In this
particular. The pops as party have
little use for bourbon. They would
wipe II of the face OF the earth. Not
so with our friend Amls. He beats
down party trammels and takes snort
OF his favorlte Kentucky beverage
when he wants 1t.
The editor censures Chapman because
he said to some gentlemen that the
saloon was not entirely bad; that II
was bright, warm and cheerful; that 1t
offered comfort aud entertainment to
the laborlng man. The only difference
between Chapman and Amis on this
point Is that while Mr.. Chapman Is
student Of social questions, who is
bound to get at the truth Of the matter,
whether II is pleasant or not, Amis ls
not averse 10 glass OF his favorlte
Kentucky source Of inspiration because
It is pleasing. What the professor admits
is true Ia theory, the editor puts lnto
practice. "Elevating measures are dis
cussed" by the editors In saloons some
tImes-Of course not gallon measures,
but smaller ones. II seems TO ns men
In all walks Of life can be too pro-
gFeaslve. But who fus is to say to
the other Just on what line he may
forge ahead?
