CnHleasant Remedy.

\ writer on lion hunting tells how
Hassau, quick witted Somali. found
his way out of very serious difficulty.
He had been down il the warerleSs
plains and was on the way home, driv-
ing some camels before him. 1t was a
very dry year, and, although this was
the rainy season. he had been unable TO
find any water 70 give his pony.
The result was that, having been rid
den hard for two or three days, with lit
tie or no water to drink, the pony sue
cumbed entirely and at last lay down
about 20 miles from the wells. No
amount of persuasion, or even beating,
would get the creature on its legs again.
Hassan was in despair. He knew that
there were no vessels at the wells IL
which he night carry water back to
the pony, and 1t seemed TO him as II
nothing could be done TO save it. At
last he thought OF 4 plan. lie drove the
canels at top speed to the wells, gave
them as much water as they cocId
drink and then hurried them G.. ;:2;iH.
He found the pony where Ee had left
it, growing rapidly weaker. EIc ia!mc-
diately killed the camris, cut them open
and took the water from their s;o,nachS.
The pony was eager enough! TO drink It,
and after the draft it revived suffi-
ciently to struggle on to the wells.
In o few days it had completely re-
covered. In telling the story Hassan
always added that he could get plenty
of camels, and whether that We're so or
not he would rather have cut the
throats of 100 than sacrifice his beloved

DELICIOUS RUSK.

Cow This Dry and Swcct,rcl Bread Is
Satisfactorily Made.
A dried rusk is q pastoral sort CT
bread, recalling the feaslS oi Phyllis and
Gordon under the green trees, with
plenty of berries and flowing bowls Of
milk. These dried breads date back TO
the earliest classic times, when for con-
venience large quantities of bread were
baked and prepared SO that 1t would
keep long time.
German rusk is usually Sligaly sweet,
but the time honored recipe here given
is made without sugar and is especially
delicious when served with q creamy
glass Of iced milk in summer. L may
be eaten fresh, as it is al excellent Iis-
cult

Maximum FREIGHT Rate Case.

Washington, April 5.-Mr. w. j.
Bryan was an attraction in the SUI
preme court of the United States and
drew large crowds to the court room
today. He moved the admission to the
supreme court bar of Mr.. P. c. Bell of
Illinois, deputy commissioner of pen
sions. whose services in the campaign
in Mr.. Bryan's behalf caused much
speculation as to whether or not the
president would remove him for per
nicious activity" Mr.. Bell is now re-
tired.
Mr.. Bryan is engaged as counsel for
the state of Nebraska in the maximum
freight rate cases which have been on
the docket for several days. They pre-
sent the question of the power of the
state to establish schedules of rates to
govern the railroads in their dealings
in the state.
At late hour in the afternoon Mr..
John T. Webster, attorney for the ap-
pellant, began the opening argument,
which was not completed when the
court rose at 4 o'clock. Mr.. Webster
will be followed tomorrow by Mr.. j. M.
Woolworth of Omaha and Mr.. James
C. Carter of New York for the rail
roads, leaving Attorney-General Smith
and Mr.. Bryan to close for the state on
Wednesday.

He'd recovered from a potion fixed up by
jealous Jap
He had been a reckless rover from the
moment of mis- birth.
And had travelled almost over every por-
ton of the earth.
He encountered every danger that you've
ever read about,
He had seen a Texas ranger and a reck-
less army scout.
But the moral, if there's any, in this
humble little tale,
Is that he died from stepping on an
ancient rusty nail.

The Oregon Short Line will probably
have its city ticket offices established
in the Macintosh block, corner of
Second South and West Temple streets.
some time during May, and arrange
ments to this end have about been
completed The news will come in the
nature of a surprise, after the an
nouncement made some time ago to
the effect that a union ticket office
would be operated at the old headquar-
ters in conjunction with the Union Pa
cific. That the Short Line did try to
secure the Smith drug store corner in
the Dooly block is certain, for the Rio
Grande Western passenger department
was made fully aware of these inten-
lions at the time it went after the
lease now held in the Dolly corner
The Western had the refusal of that
corner for several months previous, so
the move of the Short Line was
blocked in this direction. However, the
knowledge that removal Of the COM
petlng lines local offices was contem-
plated FASTENED the Western. 1t is I'M
derstood that the concern now occupy
ing the Macintosh corner have been
given notice to vacate either for con-
sideration or by the lapsing of its
lease. No confirmation OF the Short
Lines removal 10 the Macintosh block
could be obtained from the general
headquarters, but it is only natural
that this line should desire to be near
er the new quarters in the Oregon
Short Line building and adjacent to
the postoffice, in which direction rail-
way men foresee a business tendency
If the Union Pacific intends to fol-
low the Short Line with its general
city offices and local ticket Office, such
intimation has not been given to Cen
eral Agent Clay, who informed The
Herald that so far as he knew he
would remain in the present location,
although the subject of refitting his
quarters had been delayed until the ar
rival next week of the Union Pacific
officials.
