Great Tribute to the Dog:

Senator Vest of Missouri, once
addressing q jury paid this eloquent
tribute to the. dog. He said:
"Gentlemen Of the Jury: The
best friend o man has III the world
may turn against Hmm and become
his enemy. His son eS daughter
that he has reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to as those
whom we trust with OUR happiness,
and o1sr good name, may become
traitors to their faith. The money
that man has lie may lose. It flies
away from him, perhaps when he
eeds it most. A MANS reputation.
may be sacrificed in q moment Of
ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do us honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles it's
cloud upon our heads. The one alb
solutely unselfish friend shat naan
can have in this selfish world. the
one shat never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungratefnl or
treacherous, in his dog. a man .
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty, in health and in sick
ness. Lie will sleep OH the cold
ground, where the wintry WINDS
blow and the snow drives Gercely,
If only he be near hrs masters side
When all other friends deserts, he
remains. And when the last scene
Of all comes, and death takes the
maateo in It's embrace, and his body
Is LAID away in the cold ground, no
matter If AL otfrey friends pursue
their way, there by the graveside
will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, hrs eyes sad
but open In aleys watchfulness.
Faithful and true even in DEATH

Disgrace to Both

The EXAMINER understands tfat
the Short Lime has plans arranged
for a new depot at this point. In
fact tRere are two plans under con-
sideration, one for new depot and
one proposing TO add ittie OH to
the present structure. If we are
rightly informed, the new depot, If
built eontensplates structure sFm-
ilar to- the one at Pegram. Either
of these places are wholly made
quate for tine needs of city llke
Montpelier. The erection of either
would be q disgrace afF&c to the
railway company and th7s cfty.
Montpelier has, for the volume of
business done at this point, had
poorer Accommodations in the way Of
depot facilities than any other town
along the railroad. The depot at
this place handles practically all
the freight for Bear Lake and Stay
valley towns, and the amount re-
ceived and shipped from here is
enornous. Surely With all this
Montpelier is deserving something
better than a re modelled ramsha ckle
shack or tiny cramped building
like Pegram has It seems to the
EXAMINER that nothing less than a
large depot building, similar to
the one IN Kemnerer, should be
Thought oS. Recently the Short
Line erected a $la, geo depot at
Nsmpa and yet Nampa is not q
division point like Montpelier, and
we doubt if much or any more
freight is handled there than IN this
civ.
We hope, in the first place, that
the company has no thought of Civ.
ing us such all inadequate depot,
and secondly, it il has decided to do
so, that it win change Its mind and
either give US fine large building
or let the matter stand as it is. We
would rather get along with what
we have than to see the company
put 10 or remodel something that
would not be credit to all.

A CULINARY GENIUS.
Cooked Dinner In His Home While

The ordinary man is nowhere more
out Of place than in the kitchen. All
rules have their exceptions, however
and correspondent sends story Of
a man who might have led armies per
haps, but was certainly equal to Gull
nary emergencies.
In the absence of his wife and family
It became necessary, as he thought, for
him to cook his own dinner, and In
view Of the fact that he was a man Of
business his presence was also needed
down town at his office.
Now, the same body cannot be In two
places at once, and this well known
consideration would have settled the
question for an average man. He
would have either spent his forenoon
ia the kitchen or gone to his office and
lunched out. This, however, was a
man to whom physical laws do not
courtesy even as custom to great kings.
The case stood thus:
lie was to have a boiled dinner and
would have II done to turn, piping
hot and ready to serve mt bis home

The potatoes and cabbage, needing less

Then he dropped string through

through loop suspended from the
ceiling and thence down to the sink.
In the sink hole he firmly stuck can
die, to which, two inches below the
top, he tied the string.
Last of all he lighted the candle and
went to his business. In two hours, or
about half an hour before he was to
return, when II was time for the yege-
tables on the cover to go to their APP

FLATFlSHES' EYES.
Migration which Takes Place Aft
err the Creatures' birth.


tlatfishes keep their white and blind
side on the buddy or sandy bottom
and pretend that the upper and spec
Killed. side is part OF that bottom. This
they do to avoid observation, for in
spite Of their awkward shape they are
swallowed ut sight by pcrtinacious enc
mics, to the manifest discomfort of
both. A greedy cormorant curling up
and attempting TO swallow a plalee,
which tries to be as dsUbliging as pos
siblc, affords an object lesson not soon
forgotten on the way not to behave nj
mealtimes. But the bird usually sue
Cccds in its object, and the flatlish, in
spite OF persistent efforts TO retain its
natural fatness at last disappears
down the round, elastic throat of the
cormorant. With Il view to avoid TN
pleasantnesses of this kind, soles are
wont to hide themselves in the sand,
keeping only their eyes above the sur
face to act as sentInels.
In reality the dark surface of sole,
plaice or turbot Is It's side and not its
back. 1t is true That both eyes are yls
iblc, which IL not the case when Il
mackcrel or conger Is laid on its side.
but this is simply owing to the fact
that one eye of II flatflsh has since the
creatures birth passed across what we
may call the bridge of its nose to keep
company with the other eye
The wandering eye begins Its migra
ton at n very early Nge-so early, in
deed, that 1t is little difficult to detect
1t on It's journey. a plalce fifth of an
Inch In length and days old carries
one eye on each side of its nose. When
three-hfths of an inch long and about
= months old, the left eye has crossed
over to the right side. Lemon soles
when one Inch long or months old
have the left eye on the edge OF the
head. but when double that size and &
months old both eyes are found on the
right side A sole assumes its lopsidcd
aspect by the time 1t has been hatched
. months. When turbot Is hnlf an
inch in length, the right eye just be-
gins to peep over the center arch of the
bridge. ut three quarters OF nm inch II
Is half way across, and ut an inch the
passage is complete and the two eyes
look out from the left side of the head,

A UNIQUE HANDLE.
Why the Owner Is Proud Of ths
Crook

Why the Owner Is Proud Of thu
Crook
A guest at one of the principal
hotels yesterday exhibited n curious
and beautiful umbrella handle to II
party of admiring friends. 1t was n
crook of silver maple wood bearing
the natural bark, and its ornament
consisted of three heavy gold hands
or rings, enclrcling the shaft ut equal
distances. What made it remarkable
was the self-eyldent fact that the
bands had been put on when the
branch from which the handle was
made was part of living tree, and
much smaller In diameter. The wool
had grown through and around the
combining metal. and bulged ont ut
either side, producing an odd end
striking effect.
1T took me four years to get the
material ready for this unmbella
handle" said the proud owner. Il
live in the suburbs of St Louis, and
have several fine maple trees on the
premises In 1893 the idea occurred
to me, and l had jeweler make me
these three rings, which l slipped over
a small branch and tied at the proper
distance with cords. I had to select
a very diminutive branch, because
otherwise the twigs would have pre-
vented the rings from going on. and |
picked out one pretty high up SO it
would be out of the way of pilferers
Then l waited patiently for nature to
cllnch the bands by process of growth
| said nothing about the experiment.
and the family wondered why in the
world l climbed that tree so often.
am a travelling man, and whenever
returned from the road I would lose
no time in taking look at my pros
pective umbrella handle. 1t was slow
work, however. and the fall of 1897
had rolled around before I finally cut
the branch. Then l turned 1t oven TO
an expert, who kept 1t ten months
longer. seasoning and polishing it and
bending the upper end of the crook,
which was done by a process of
steaming The result is what you see
l am convinced 1t is the only thing of
Its kind in the world. and l take good
care to keep 1t away from umbrella
