Kerry, is now in the SLOGAN district of
Kootenai. Mr.. Roche is deeply inter-

was member Of the conference that
recently dealt with that question in
England, his views should prove inter-
esting. In an interview Mr.. Roche said:
1--WE have the strongest assurances
from Mr. Chamberlain and Mr.. Balfour
that an international conference will
be called at Brussels in May. I think
the business transacted at Brussels will
result in the reopening Of the India
minis at least. Senator Wolcott, Of
whom so much has been heard on the
bimetallic question, is an exceedingly
clever man, and powerful champion
of the cause. Though considered free
lance by the public generally in the
voicing of his views while in England,
have the strongest reason for believ-
ing that he was an accredited repre-
sentative Of the United States govern
ment on that occasion. Next to the
United States, the strongest supporters
of bimetallism are the French, and I
think the recent action of the Bank of
England, which has given rise to much
discussion, was the outcome, of diplo-
matte representations made by the
French. I believe we have not done as
much for the cause in two or three
years as the Bank of England has done
at one StrOke.''

A Connecticut Mans Experience With q
Substitute Bathtub.
One OF the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coolest
sweat out on a mans brow and ever
after remain with him as constant
source of mirth occurred to Shelton
merchant. He thought he would take a
bath, and as his fat is minus one Of the
chief requisites for the job-a bathtub
he extemporized one out of small
washtub and enjoyed a cooling ablu-
tion.
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud-
denly the top hoop of the tub burst with
sharp report, and the man saw to his
horror that the whole contents of the
tub would soon be flooding the floor At
the same moment he thought of the
store beneath and the amount of dam
age the water would do as it ran down
through the ceiling He is man of
quick thought, and in moment he did
the only thing possible-threw himself
down beside the tub and, clasping his
arms around it, held the already fast
swelling slaves together. He was sue
cessful in keeping the water in-but
what a situatiopl He dared not yell, for
he was hardly in a condition to receive
callers. especially as he knew that all
in the block at the time were of the
gentler sex, and he realized at once that
the only thing left for him was to stay
in that position until the return of his
wife, who was out on shopping expe-
dition.
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained in his most uncom-
Portable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap
the climax, when he asked her to get a
rope or any old thing to tie about the
tub, she, after long fit of uncontrolla-
BILE laughter, asked him why he didn't
carry tub and contents out to the sink
room and pour out the water. With a
look that froze the smile on her face he
did as she said and without word dom
ned his clothing and wandered out into
