A move is now on foot to organ

organization which the city of
Weiser needs very much and no time
should be lost in perfecting such an
one. Should fire break out most
anywhere in this city, with no pro-
lection as is the case now. there
would be great loss of property.
We cannot afford to take such
chances, so let us organize at once.
What is now very much needed is
a company well drilled in the art of
handling buckets, climbing ladders
and many other things necessary to
be done at fire.

almost certainly be made. But, Will
all the good will in the world, it is
exceedingly difficult to hurry con
tests. They seem to catch the
spirit of the laws delay Post
ponements have always been granted
again and again, just as they are il
the law courts, without any excuse
that seems tangible to laymen. There
is always tremendous mass OF
evidence presented in each case, and
the ten cases now on file are said tC
be even more voluminous than usual.
Some of them seem to be altogether
without merit. For instance. Mr..
Evans, of Louisville, who was de-
feated by Mr.. Turner, and who has
since been appointed to a federal
judgeship, is contesting, not because
he wants the place, but in order to
recoup himself for alleged expendi-
lures in preparing for the contest
before he was appointed judge.
Congress allows 50, 600 to each con
testant for his actual sworn expenses,
and this amount is the bait that
causes many contests.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has
formally announced in the senate
that the democrats will not unduly
delay the financial bill. eve recog-
nize, he said, ''that you have the
majority and can pass the bill with
out very much delay This, of
course, does not mean that the dem
ocratic senators will not oppose the
bill and will not speak against it.
But 1t does mean that it will not fill
buster and attempt to unduly prolong
the debate and force the senate to
take radical action to force the vote.
The truth is that it is well under
stood in the senate that filibustering
shall cease when majority really |
wishes to vote. tits only by the OBJ
servance of this understanding that
the senate has for 50 long avoided
the necessity of a rule for closing
debate peremptorily. Cases that
seem to negative this will probably
occur to everyone, but those who
know the facts are well aware that
when filibuster has apparently been
successful, it has been so because
there was really not q majority in
favor of the bill under discussion.
Publishers everywhere are natur-
ally much concerned over the adj
vance in the price of newspaper.
Contracts recently made by New

Canadian mills have offered. il is
said, to sell in small lots at g. cents

Academy Notes.

RnetOrlcalS Will De nelu III TIE nall
Friday afternoon. An interesting
program will be rendered.
A peculiar thing occurred at the
academy this week. An old, I'M
known horse came to the academy
and wendell his way to the ladies'
hall where, remaining on the outside
very near by, he assumed pleading
attitude, as much as to say, "will
you please take me in from the
cold?" The boys drove him away,
but he returned and persisted in
crouching close to the classic struc-
ture, and all around seemed to be
deeply impressed with the solemn
ity of the peculiar situation He
pushed his weary head far in beneath
the porch of the hall, and there in
that supplant attitude he passed
over the dark river to JOIN the great
throng that had gone before. He
was dead, and all those who were
present were indeed saddened by his
demise. The funeral services will
probably be announced later.
There is now an attendance of
about 20 students, an increase of
about 10 over that of last term. This
is creditable showing for the acad-
amy and proves that the institution
is popular
The work in the academy is being
prosecuted in very enthusiastic and
fruitful manner this term. There
seems to be increasing interest in
every department and the year
will show exceptionally good results
throughout the academy. Prof.
Foster is taking hold of the work in
a vigorous and commendable manner,
and we are confident lie will meet
with splendid success in his field of
labor.
Last Saturday afternoon an San
Home" was given by Y. W. G. A.
in Miriam Lee Hall. 1t was delight.
full occasion, part of the time being
spent in preparing new
table linen for use in the academy.
A Glee Club and also a Choral
Glass have been organized among the
academy students. Such a course is
highly commendable and will no
doubt be appreciated by all lovers of
music.
The first meeting of Academy
Literary Society was held last Friday
evening, at which the following
officers were elected: Presi-
tent, Roy Wolfe; vice president
Roy Burnley; secretary, Stella Wat
son; treasurer, Herbert Kelsey; SER
seants' at-arms, Robert Ringer and

meeting will be held Friday evening,

CHEAPER THAN A FUNERAL.
He Concluded to Pay the Doctors
Bill ~ an Economical
Move.

A well-known North Dakota magistrate
tells the following story, for the truth of
which he vouches: At small town in the
state there were two doctors, one of whom
had great reputation for the cures he eff.
fected, and the other was not believed to be
much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always forthcoming he made rule
that certain class Of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the
wife of one of whom was seriously i'll. He
told them to go to the ether doctor, but
they refused, saying they would prefer his
services. Every WELL" replied the medico,
III, that case my, fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdurate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they wou' d
say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf.
flying as it was amusing to the listening doc.
tor. It was:
II think you would better give it. Tho
funeral would cost you more"

GOOD LOOKS A HINDRANCE.
It Ii Said That Women of HOmely
Exterior Succeed Best in BuSi-
ness Pursuits,

As a class, women regard good looks
as their most valuable asset in life,
yet if they are to engage in business
they find that beauty is handicap
they cannot easily overcome. A few
years ago, says the Chicago Chronicle,
when woman began to enter business
life in considerable numbers, a hand
vantage. To-day the reverse is true.
Those still youthful can remember
distinctly when it was next to impos-
sible for homely girl to get situa-
ton. Good looks were insisted upon
in typewriters and stenographers, and
merchants were then under the i'm
preston that pretty clerks brought
trade. It took some time to explode
that idea. The pretty clerks certain
ly attracted crowds to their counters,
but they were crowds of dudes and
loafers, who would buy tive-cent pa
per of pins and then flirt away three
or four dollars worth of time while
the women, who constitute four-fifths
of the patrons Of all retail houses,
had strong aversion to being waited
upon by professional beauty. More
over, no dependence was to be placed
in the clerks themselves. The hand
soonest girls were pretty sure to be
vain and "touchy," and when one
proved really valuable she was moral
ly certain to get married at the very
time her services were most needed.
So practical men began to see that
pretty clerks did not pay, as cold
business proposition, and the same
discovery was presently made at the
Offices. Typewriting bellies made more
trouble than they were worth. They
demoralzed their fellow-employes and
created no end of jealousy and bitter
ness and friction. In many cases, per-
haps in most, the poor girl wasn't in
the least to blame. She couldn't help
being good to look at, and was prob
ably trying her best to attend to her
own affairs, but the idiotic men
wouldn't let her. However, results are
the only things that count in business
nowadays, and few years ago a big
reaction against beauty set in, and
now pretty faces are at a discount.

CHAPTER II.

Promotion was rapid in the cavall Y
in those days, so soon after the war.
Indians contributed largely to the gen.
eral move, but there were other causes,
too. Dean had served, little over & year
as second lieutenant in troop doing
duty along the lower Platte, when va
cancies occurring gave him speedy and
unlooked-for lift. He had met M.
Folsom only once. The veteran trader
had embarked much of his capital in
business at Gate City, beyond the Rock
les, but officers from Fort Emory, close
to the new frontier town, occasionally
told him he had won stanch friend in
that solid citizen.
"You ought to get transferred to
Emory" they said. Here's the band,
half dozen pretty girls, hops twice q
week, hunts and picnics all through
the spring and summer in the noun
tains, fishing ad libitum, and lots of
fun all the year around" But Deans
ears were oddly deaf. A classmate let
fall the observation that it was be-
cause of a New York girl who had jilt'
ed him that Dean had foresworn So
ciety and stuck to troop in the field;
but men who knew and served with the
young fellow found him an enthusiast
in his profession, passionately fond OF
cavalry life in the open, bold rider, a
keen shot and born hunter. Up with
the dawn day after day, in saddle long
hours, scouting the divides and ridges.
stalking antelope and black-tail deer
chasing buffalo, he lived life that
hardened every muscle, bronzed the
skin, cleared the eye and brain and gave
toeven monotonous existence "verve"
and zest the dawdlers in those old-time
garrisons never knew.

There is one pane of glass at Marl-
borough house which is most careful
ly guarded. The late duke of Clarence
once entered the sitting-room of one
of his sisters and scratched with a
diamond on the window his name,
"Eddy." Soon after the present en-
peror of Russia entered the room, and,
noticing the handiwork of his cousin,
scratched "Nicky" beneath it. An
other curious fact is that a special
bedstead, II feet long, is kept at Marl-
borough house for the use of King
Leopold whenever he comes to Lon
don.
Green is popularity supposed to be
the color which best protects the eye,
