The Kendrick Gazette reports
that the idea of testing the valid
ity of the anti-gambling law has
been abandoned because enough
money could not be raised to
make the fight. The same paper
also announces that Indian Agent
S. 6. Fisher will resign next
month and devote himself to
mining. Mr.. Fisher is one Of the
most competent agents in the
country and was for many years
in charge Of the Fort Hall reser-

for long time assiduously labor

gives up a good work until it is
completed, there is no reason to
doubt his ultimate success in this
matter. The Tribune mentions
the receipt of letters from the

the intelligence that most of the

A calm that can be felt broods
over Lemhi if Mrs. Merritt's
sprightly paper can be considered
an index and we think it can.
By the way Mrs. Merritt is the
only newspaper man in the State

Two or three more or less pre-
tentious efforts have been made
to share her field by ambitious
male journalists, but each has sig

wondered at when her indomit-
able energy and marked ability
are considered. Originally Mrs.
Merritt was a staunch Republi-

was swept off her feet by it, but

A SONG OF FORGETTING.

The hours as playthings were-ah, mel
And laughter lived in every word
What time thai love was young and glee
In every pulsing heart throb stirred.
The wild plum blossomed in the glen.
The rabbit raced across the plain.
And frightened birdlings Hurried when
Our hounds and horses tramped the grain
Down in the grove beside the spring
We rested when the race was won.
And listened TO the wood bird sing
A lullaby when day was done.
But, ali, you wandered from my side
And paved the long lone lane OF years
With memory stones and loss too wild
For sobs to soothe with memory tears.
And now you come-cone back to me
To fill, as then, the old time place
Where is the magic Of your pleaP
What change has come upon your facet
Oh, friend, to lose and still love on.
To live on chaff instead Of grain
Is better than to feel love gone
Forgetting is the keenest pain.

The Magic of Rome.

The story Of Rome is a tale of muir
der and sudden death, varied, chang
ing, never repeated in the same way;
there is blood On every threshold; a
tragedy lies buried in every church and
chapel, and again we ask in vain
wherein lies the magic Of the city that
has fed on terror and grown old in
carnage. the charm that draws men to
her, the power that holds, the magic
that enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tam
hauser in her mountain of old. Yet
one deny it. and as centuries roll on
the poets. the men of letters, the must
clans. the artists of all ages, have come
to her from far countries and have
dwelt here while they might, some for
long years. some for the few months
they could spare. and all of them have
left something. a verse, a line, a sketch.
a song that breathes the threefold mys-
terry of love, eternity and Death

The First Step Is Keeping the MOutf,
Shut, Asleep or Awake.
proper breathing is so essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention. and the first requirement
is to keep the mouth shut" writes

voices by allowing the mouth to become
the regular air passage that the need Of
care cannot be too frequently empha-
sized. Besides the injury done by the
unwarmed air entering the lungs the
mucous membrane is hardened by the
saliva being dried up, and the muscles
of the tongue and throat grow stiff and
less responsive. It is comparatively easy
to control ones breathing when awake,
but when asleep the harm goes on. To
remedy this involves a slight discom-
fort, but one can endure it patiently

Switzerland differs from other coun.

most remarkable is the way in which

When the president Of the federal as.

CHARLES STEWART PARNELl

How the Great Irish Leader Came to
Enter Politics.
Charles Stewart Parnell was % years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr.. r. Barry
O'Brien in his biography of the great
Irish leader:
lone night during the general cleo
ton Of 1874 Parnell dined with his sis
ter. Mrs. Dickinson. in Dublin. After
dinner Captain Dickinson said: Well.

ment7 Why don't you stand for your

table. Parnell said quickly: 4 will.

".Oh, said Dickinson. we will see
about that tomorrow. The great thing
is you have decided to stand.
al will see about it at once said
Parnell. I have made up my mind. and
I won't wait. Whom ought | to see?'

Journal. said John. who was also pres
ent.
VERY well. said Parnell. rising
from the table, 4 shall go to him at
once. Do you come with me. John
''The two brothers then went away to-
gether. It was now II O'Clock. and they
found Gray at The Freeman's Office.
He was amazed when Parnell entered
and said. I have come to say. Mr..
Gray. that I mean to stand for Wick
low as a Home Ruler.
1t was only the year after that. on the
death of John Mitchell. Parnell was re-
turned for Meath. At first it is plain
that Parnell had few if any followers.
The ability of the representative from
Meath was questioned. Butt was then
the controlling power. It was only in
1880 that Parnell became the leader.

There came to me late one night q
stranger in widest despair resolved to
commit suicide that night if ] could
not help him, says Professor Munster
berg in The Atlantic. He had been a
physician. but had given up his prac-
tice because his brother, on the other
side of the ocean. hated him and had
him under his telepathic influence.
troubling him from over the sea with
voices which Knocked him and with i'm
pulses to foolish actions. He had not
slept nor had he eaten anything for
several days. and the only chance for
life he saw was that a new hypnotic in
Auence might overpower the mystical
hypnotic forces.
/ soon found the source of his trou-
BILE. In treating himself for a wound he
had misused cocaine in IN absurd way.
and the hallucinations of voices were
the chief symptom of his cocainism.
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe. and thus the telepathic sys-
tenn grew in him and permeated his
whole life. l hypnotized him. and sug-
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten days he gave
up cocaine entirely. after three weeks
the voices disappeared, and after that
the other symptoms faded away. 1t was
not. however. until the end that the
telepathic system was exploded.
Even when the voices had gone he
for awhile felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks.
when I had him quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should be unable, even in
full health. to resist the mystical inter
probation, so wildly had he felt the
distant influences.
