Fortune is capable and useful man.
Such potential fore ought TO get to-

To this olive branch hint Mr.. For
tune replies in the teTse and vigorous
English characteristic of the man, and
those WHO study the words, both on
their face and between the lines will
have no difficulty in compIehending
Mr.. Fortunes meaning or in reaching
the conclusion that he is deadly in earn
est Mr.. Fortune says:
Get together? Not much! There
is no man or combination OF men who
can construct pla form upOa which
stand two minutes WithCu Ut a hand TO

too absolutely reconcilable points Of
view. We shall fight it out to the Bit
teT end, and as We have the justice
and humanity eide Of the contention
we are dead sure we shall win in the
end Twenty five years hence the edi

Official Paper Of Nez Perez County
A New ASpirant.

There appears to be launching
of senatorial booms i'm many parts
of the state. Among the number
is the one credited to Frank l. !.
Moore, of Latah county. 1t is
claimed for Mr.. Moore that he is
not supporter of Dubois, and
Furthermore that he has pledged
to his own support seven popu,
lists and democrats. In comment
ing upon the matter the Moscow
Mirror says:
"The Moscow Independent has discov-
cred that +. l.. Moore, senator-elect from
this county, is traitor to the democratic
party or somebody, and intimates that
had the editor of that sheet known what
he now knows, that Moore would not
have been elected. Just what informa-
ton the independent man has regarding
the trickery or acts of Mr.. Moore he does
not state. but leaves the public to Judge
that MIR. Moore is not going. to support
Mr.. Dubois for the U. S. senate. IF Mr..
Moore is democrat, which he processes
to be, he could hardly be expected to
vote for Dubois who has assumed the role
of hated 'iniperialist' and dictated to
the democratic party exactly what to do
with the senatorial matter"

Idaho white pine is attracting
considerable attention among the
lumbermen Of the east. Two great
syndicates have secured holdings
to the amount of 60, 900 acres and
expect to secure as much more
when the state selections are put
on the market. l, is noticeable
fact that private individuals are
getting on to every available acre
as soon as the plats Of new town
ships are opened for settlement.
Every indication points to the con.
clusion that a great industry will
spring up somewhere In the Clear
water basin when product of the
great timber belt is put upon the
market and that time is not far
distant. 1t is well known fact
that the timber resources of the
great lakes region in nearly ex-
hausted. Prominent lumbernen
estimate that what is left on that
productive field cannot last longer
than two years. Hence it Is that
the great numbering syndicates
are seeking new fields to operate
the great plants that will soon be
idle. The Clearwater timber re-.
gion Is the best undeveloped tim.
Der region in the United States.
It's resources are almost boundless
and the quality oil its product un-
excelled. The opening OF the
Clearwater pineries on a great
scale will be followed by other
results tar reaching in effect. With
large numbering plants on the Clear
water, transportation routes would
be In such pressing demand that
the railroad problem would be
solved In supplying the demands
OF the lumbermen. The whole
question is one of vital interest to
the rapid development Of the
country.

The Doctors Wife.

The doctors wife has, indeed, much
need Of patience. She sees but little
of her husband, and when she does
see him, late at night, early in tho
morning, or when they are driving to-
gether to dinner party, their chances
of sustained conversation are but few.
This is why the consultant's wife rare
ly or never employs her own husband
as a family doctor, but intrusts the
care of the family's health to a gen.
eral practitioner. 1t might be weeks
before the great man could find time
to examine Freddy's eyes or see
whether baby was suffering merely
from teetking, rash OF from measles.
1t is told Of a celebrated physician,
not long dead, that having one day
met in Harley street, not far from his
own door, a nurse and two children,
with whose charming appearance hs
was muck struck, he stopped and
chatted with them. 'May ask whose
children those are?" he said to the
nurse on parting. "Your own, sir"
the nurse replied. Temple Bar.

Queer Things About Sleep.

One of the most remarkable things
about sleep is the total inability to re-
sist its onset in cases of extreme ia
tigue. A writer in Harper's Magazine
recalls several remarkable instances
in which persons have continued to
walk onward while sleep has overcome
them, the automatic centres of the
brain evidently controlling and stim-
ulating the muscles when conscious
ness itself had been completely lost.
1t is recorded at the battle of the
Nile, amid the roar OF cannon and the
fall of wreckage, some Of the overfa-
tigued boys serving the guns with
powder fell asleep on the deck. DR..
Carpenter gives another instance OF
allied kind. In tue course of the Bur-
mese war, the captain of frigate &C
lively engaged in combat fell asleep
from sheer exhaustion, and slept
soundly for two hours within yard
of one of the biggest guns, which was
being actively worked during his
slumbers
It is q matter of common medical
knowledge that extreme exhaustion in
face of the severest pain will induce
sleep. Here the imperative demand
of the body-a demand implanted, as
we have seen, in the constitution OF
our frames-asserts its influence; and
even pain, the ordinary conqueror of
repose, has in its turn to succumb.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1900-05-08

them were often ignorant of the edi.
torial attitude of the paper regarding
local matters. The consequence was
that, when a man was given an assign
ment, it might turn out that he knew
nothing about what the paper had
printed regarding the matter before.
hand, or what the editorial policy of
the paper about this subject was. It
is very hard work to induce reporters
to get to the Office promptly. Unless
they are hauled up sharply every lit
tie while, many of them put the paper
to inconvenience by being late. I
have actually known OF cases where
young men in vigorous healt!, who
were anxious to secure regular posi-
tions on the city staff of an evening
paper, were so lazy that they would
not get around until nearly noon to
see if there was chance for them to
do any work. Ny opinion is that
most folks are lazy, and [ certainly
know thai laziness is the only reason
why many young men in the newspa-
per business whom I have known did
not succeed better"
One of the leading life insurance
company Presidents, whose opinion
was requested, held the view that:
"'While there are pathetic exceptions,
I think it can be regarded as a rule
that men who fail in life fail princi-
pally because Of Incidence. Genius
without industry, find, accomplishes
very little in this world; while in
dustry without genius accomplishes a
great deal. Some man-Emerson,
wasn't ito-has defined genius as the
infinite capacity for taking pains; and
it is this infinite capacity that, in the
long run, proves successful.
''It is true that there are some cor.
porations that are guilty of nepotlsn
and favoritism; that promote rather
the sons and the nephews and the
cousins than the men who have dem
onstrated their fitness fer advance
ment, but these corporations always
have to pay dearly for it. I think
that all business men now recognize
the principle that the most expensive
habit they can acquire is to disregard
merit"
A bank president who, in his earlier
years, was newspaper reporter, talked
in similar strain. "The great mis-
take that young men make" he said,
sis in keeping too close watch On the
time of day. They begin to put on
their overcoats ten OF fifteen minutes
before the pointer reaches the hour
when they are free to leave the office.
Tho majority, therefore, never worry
about anything except the particular
W ork they are required to do.
'tThey pay little attention to tie
men just ahead of them, and make no
attempt to familiarize themselves WITH
their work. The result is that when
vacancy occurs I have no one in my
Office who can fill it. There are many
opportunities for promising young
men during the year, but I usually
have to go outside to get the proper
persons for them. 1t is not because
the average clerk is not capable. 1t
is because he is lazy He is fearful
of giving more time to his employer
than the regulations require. Legally
this custom may be all right; but it is
the most fatal error the young men
can fall into"
