Who Dseoysd the Harmless Hsus vsrH
Their Happy Home


Who DseOysd the Harmless Hsus vsvh
TheiE Harry Hsns
A mystery is said 20 be somethink
secret or unexplaiHed or, IN other words,
something beyond the ken Of mortals Do
fathom. For instance. on the night az
the 9Th inst. some invisible and uI.
known agent decoyed from their peNca-
fuI home six fine, bury. innocent hers
that made their home at Vim Wells
homestead and lodged In his stable do
night. Nobody seems to know whittier
they have strayed. The poor hens were
harmless creatures and did not Offend
anybody. All they said was, "gawk,
gawk, gawk,- as they waddled about
the barn yard iE sSaTch OF dainties, but
some evil disposed spirit or spirits, bent
on their destruction, decoyed them away
from their peaceful home where they
might have remained to live TO n good
old age, and die the peaceful death com.
mon among hendom. The matter will
remain as II is until some one who Is
skilled in henology viii explain what
now appears to be deep mystery. Via
Wells does not believe In mysteries Of
that kind. He believes that there is
some one Of an earthly character in
VOWED in the plot. There is blood in
WINS eyes. lie has planted a gatllng
gun or something Of that sort, near bis
house. The gun, at short range. covers
the stable door and he profanely deciates
that il the same or any other party. be
thsy evil spiritsO or evil mortals. attempts
to decOy the rest of the harmless hens
from their peaceful home, the evil ddeTs
will sup sorrow instead Of delicious
chicken broth.
The next thing to be discussed ia
where are the feathers? No one Nhe
is skilled in hen-die-craft is likely to
answer, and this matter also will re-
main a mystery until some one able to
explain will rise and throw light on the
subject.
John CkinaDan has similar gFlev-
ahces to those Of Wins. John has made
portfolios in bis enclosure and some
night, ere long. the good people Of this
town may be aroused from their peace
ful slumbers by the booming Of gat-
ling gun and "a brilliant display Of Chi
nees fire crackers. After that the poGF
innocent hens may go about their bnsi-
ness as usual singing their gladsoIne
songs and say, 4gawk. gawk. gAwk-
without molestatiOn. Not one chicken
iend will he left in the locality to split
away other poor hens from their home
to their own destruction. So saith
yours truly.

The PHILIPPINES

Editor PREss:

Editor Press:
People who come from the Philippine
islands seem to have mania for telling
in song and story what they saw in that
wonderful country.
The country is fertile and rich in ag-
ricuitural resources. and there is more
good land lying out doors than any
where else in the known world.
The great question that eonfronts the
American people is the way to govern
them. might be violating one OF the
articles of war If were to criticize the
the speech of Congressman Brown Of
Ohio. delivered last Saturday in the
house of congress. Talk like that en-
courages those people and only makes
it harder for the American people 70

excited, turbulent Tagalos. Seif-goy-
ernment or ''indepencia- is something

assembly OF Filipino congress. a dude

have every reason TO believe that there
are some good people among the Ia
galos. Pho del Pillar. one of the best
liked generals they had, turned out TO
be tricky two-faced scoundrel. Ma
bini is another treacherous fellow,
BeuncaTninO is the worst of bad lot.
The Garcia family, Col. Tecson and a
few more of the leaders near san Isidro
show some evidence of civilization by
the way they trea; prisoners, but as a
rule the average Filipino is two-faced
and treacherous. They are hard to
handle The American officer and the
American soldier, if let alone, will finally
teach those peobie tina way TO true
civilization. but it will take years TO do it.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand,
mothers never thought of using any,
thing else for indigo stion or biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra-

August Flower to clean out the system

A report comes from Rathdrum that
the fight for the post Office at that place
is getting very warm. Petitions have
been circulated by John w. Peters,
Robert McCrea, W. a. Hart and Mrs,
Minnie Rose. The state and county
republican committees have endorsed
Peters. A numerously signed remon-
STRANGE against his appointment WAS cir.
culated around town Tuesday afternoon
and many prominent republicans signed
it. The feelings of the different con-
tending factions has been wrought up
to high pitch. All kinds of rumors
are afloat as to charges of fraud aud de
eepiion being used by the Peters fac
ton. BY good management on the
part of friends Of the interested parties
one or two alterations were avoided
Tuesday evening.

cred TO be a false alarm, 1t is not

gagged driving piles and taking up the
