The Boise Statesman is guilty of
a disgraceful act in republishing a
fake resolution from the Elmore
County Republican, purporting to
have been adopted at the Silver Re-

great army of free silver patrons in
this section are surprised that it

level of little lying sheet like the
Republican.

homeseekers.

Reading by Inva!ids.

A clever trained nurse in the Roose-
welt hospital of New York has devised
a plan for the amusement of invalids,
which allows them to read with COM
fort while lying helpless in bed. Any
person in full strength realizes what
tiresome thing it is to hold a book
while lying down. This clever nurse
cuts short stories from magazines and
newspapers and mounts them on strips
of stout cloth with mucilage. The
cloth is cut wide enough for two col
umns. The story can then be rolled or
unrolled at pleasure and will be much
lighter and easier to handle than a
book or paper. When not in use It
can Be tied with a ribbon or strapped
with a rubber band. The name of the
story is written on the outside, and a
drawer in desk or a table set apart for
holding this miniature library for the
invalid, to whom the book or the long
story is burden.-New York Journal.

Those who have estimated the advan-
tages to be gained from rural free de-
livery will be pleased to learn that the
work of extending this branch of the
postal service is being pushed as rap
idly as possible. The officials at Wash
ington are discovering that the meas
ures authorized by the last Congress
answer a real demand Of the people.
One hundred and fifty-seven petitions
from thirty-fye States have already
been received asking for free delivery
in as many communities. The depart
ment has inaugurated eighteen new dis
tributing stations in several Eastern
States and special agents are in the
field both in the East and in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and the Dako-
tas to lay out additional routes of SER
vice. That the time has come in which
to hasten these preparations is shown
by the statistics obtained by Assistant
Postmaster General Heath. The figures
Indicate that the United States, except
in certain spots where experiments are
now being made, is behind other ad-
vanced nations. In Illinois alone 2,34S,-
14S persons are absolutely without free
delivery. In New York the number Of
persons who are without this service
and must send for their mails is 2,229,
900; in Indiana, LII, 900; in Iowa,
$4,000; in Michigan, 1,461 900; in
Wisconsin, 1,336,O0O; in Missouri, l.
942, 900; in Ohio, 1897 900, and in Penn
Tn, oil no, hi
between 100000 and 100000 in
the entire country must send for their
mails. Considering the facilities for
free delivery in other civilized countries
these facts should stimulate the postal
authorities to further efforts. In every
other one of the greater countries be-
longing to the Universal Postal Union
mails are delivered at the peoples doors
throughout the land, although in some
instances a slight charge for additional
postage is made. This country and the
republics of South and Central Amer
lea are almost alone in falling to pro-
vide rural delivery. Up to the present
the Governments experiments seem to
show that the proposed Improvement
IN the pOSldI SERVICE IS IdpluIy DecOu-
ing a necessity, if the needs of the peo-
pie and their growing desire for close
communication with the outside world
are to be considered. The authorities
may go ahead in the assurance that
their work has passed the experimental
stage and that when completed it will
be a great factor in relieving the peo-
pie of the country districts of the iso-
lation which is so serious a drawback
to life on the farms and In small COM
munitieS.

knowledge. Of artillery ten years ago
and has not kept place with the adj
vance in the art of war cannot have
a clear idea of the modern gun and
projectile.
The deadiest shell known is the
shrapnel, which was used with such
frightful efficacy in Cuba, and which
was named from it's inventor, Colonel
Shrapnel of the British army, who de-
yised it in 1903. In brief, it is hol-
low proiectile filled with lead balls,
which are scattered by an explosion
caused either by time fuse or by q
percussion fuse, or by both, in a com
bination fuse The head and base Of
the shell are of cast iron. The fuse is
placpd in either end, and in the larger
shells it is inserted usually in the base.
A five-inch shrapnel contains $50 half
inch balls and altogether 344 separate
pieces. The shell itself. with all it
contains, furnishes over $50 imple
ments Of death. 1t is effective at a
range Of two miles, and it's area of eff
fectiveness is about thirty by forty
feet. The missiles have enough pene
trative power to use up any man or
men within that area. They travel in
q straight line and at the rate Of half
mile in a second.
In the civil war a soldier under fire
colild actually see the shells in the air,
and could often dodge them success
fully; but one could no more dodge the
shell of to-day than he could get out
of the way of a stroke of lightning.
On striking armor, the shell and the
armor become red hot, and a sheet Of
flame bursts forth. A shell bursting

His bravery in these fights won him his
commission as second lieutenant, and
afterward as first lieutenant when the

roes had to be filled. Tiffany came
home with the rough riders and was
landed at Montauk Point, but in view
Of his enfeebled health, due to the pri-

he was nursed by his mother, his sister

New York, but the best Of care was
not sufficient to bring back his health,

Almost the whole of the public debt
OF the nations of the world has been
incurred in war. Since 1902 Great
Britain has added 1904, 100000 to her
public debt in seventy-fiye years Of
war, and diminished the debt f276, O00,-
900 in one hundred and twenty years
of peace. Thus it takes more than five
years of peace to pay the loss occa-
stoned by one year of war. The net
debt of the United States in July, 1861,
was $S7,700,000; in August, 1865, it
was $2,756, 100000. 1t reached it's low
est point since the civil war in 1893,
when it was 100000. That is, in
twenty-eight years of peace this rich
country had paid a little more than
two-thirds Of the debt incurred in four
years of war. France staggers under
a public debt which causes an annual
interest charge of $3.50 for every per-
son in the country, and she owes this
debt chiefly to foreign and domestic
wars. 1t is nearly the same story every
where, and we are learning this year
that national glory is costly, even to
our own country.

The Kafser,s Meals.

A book recently published in Berlin
makes public some very curious details
regarding the private life of the Ger
man imperial family. We learn that the
Emperor contracts with his chief but
Ter for meals at so much per head. An
ordinary dinner costs rather less than
two dollars plate, exclusive of wine,
but on festive occasions the cost of a
dinner varies from SIS to $40. The EN-
peror usually has three meals daily, a
meat breakfast, a hot lunch, and a din
ner a& six courses. On the daily menu
are hook, Bordeaux and champagne,
while the castle cellars hold 1000 bot
ties Of fine wine, and 1000 casks of
other wines and liquors.

He Was an Eminent Jurist and Au-
thority on Constitutional Law.
Judge Thomas M. Cooley, who died
at his home in Ann Arbor, Mich, re-
Gently, was one of the most noted jul
rists and authorities on constitutional
law in this country. Judge Cooley's
mind had long been affected and he had
been failing physically as well as men
tally for some time past.
Judge Cooley was born in Attica,
Mich, "a years ago. He began the
study of law in 1912 and was admitted
to the bar in Adrian, Mich. He'quickly
rose to the front rank in his profession.
In 1859 he was made professor of law
in the University Of Michigan and in
1864 was elected justice of the State
Supreme Court to fill vacancy In
1869 he was reelected for the full term
Of eight years, serving about year as
chief justice. He retired from the
bench permanently in 1885.
Judge Cooley is best known as the
author of many legal publications of
great value. He also contributed nu-
merous articles to cyclopedias and
other periodicals. For three years he
was lecturer on governmental subjects
at Johns Hopkins University. He was
receiver of the Wabash Railroad In
1887, but resigned this position at the
request Of President Cleveland to ac-

games he exercises it, and there is no
appeal. He is the choice and the law.
He has no computations, and, so far

notion that there is any fault in the
king having his own.

renting a commodious house from
widow, who did not know the use to
which her dwelling would be put.

Death Duties in England.

Attempts to eyade the death duties

England. An old man transferred all
his property by deed of wife to his
young wife, not expecting that he
would survive. her. She made a will
leaving it to a former beau of hers, and
then was killed on the hunting field.
The husband was thus left dependent
