WRECK AT COW GREEK.

Sunday mornings southbound over
land, due here at 1905, did not reach
Grants Pass till l2:15. The delay
was due to wrecked freight train in
Cow Creek Canyon.
Two cars of piling, being portion
of an extra freight train west bound,
left the track while passing Reubens
in Cow creek, shortly after midnight
Sunday morning. The track was bad
ly torn up and general confusion oc-
casioned.
After the cars had been put back ON
the track and started on their way,
they again left the rails near Tunnel
g. The last wreck occasioned the de-
lay to the overland passenger. Aside
from the temporary suspension of
traffic no serious loss was sustained
by the wreck.

An InsinuatiOn,

1t was a warm Sunday morning in
church. Fans We're fiuttering, hymn
ais Hopping, handkerchiefs hopping
streaming faces, and the minister
thought his audience little lax in at
tention. Finally he led up to rebuke
for it's lack of consideration for sacred
and important things Said he:
people are prone to attend to the
unimportant things of life"
And he gave a few examples to il
lustrate his idea. Presently he made
his pertinent application.
"Now," said he, you are attentive
to your own comfort this morning, to
the sinful neglect of the holy word
Take no thought for the heat" he
said dramatically, ''for you may be
dead row.'-Detroit Free Press.

KaliSpell Nov. II, 1902.
Editor Bee-Some time ago l did
some carpenter work in the county
Jail, and in the course of the work
it was necessary to take everything
out of the cells, giving me good OPP
portunity to see what was there.
One thing was especially notable
by its absence, viz: reading matter.
Now there is always collection OF
books, papers, periodicals, pamphlets,
magazines, etc, in every house, Do
not wait for the Carnegie library to
be completed, but gamer up a collec.
ton of reading matter and send to
the county jail The inmates of that
institution get just as lonely as any
other class of people, and their minds
require feeding as well as their boz
les. Do not think there will be toe
much reading matter sent, and il
there is, the surplus would be very
acceptable to the city hospital.

The Oldest British Game.

In one form or another football, the
oldest British game, has existed for
centuries. Some see it in the game
"harpaston," played by the Greeks, the
name of which, they say, by deriya-
ton, suggests that the ball might be
seized and carried into goal. No trace
Of the game, as now understood, is
found outside of Britain, but in Eng
land it has flourished for centuries.
Shrove Tuesday, in olden times, was
the great annual football day, when
the fun was fast and furious, shops
and houses being closed for fear of
damage and both sexes and all ages
taking part.
Fitzstephen in his History of Lon
don, No." makes the earliest mention
of the game in England. He tells us
of young men of the city annually go
ing into the fields after dinner to play
at the well known game of ball on
Shrove Tuesday. Traditions of Chester
and Derby bear this out, where it was
long the custom to do the same, Ches-
ters first ball being the head of a
Dane.-Pearson's Weekly.

What He Wanted to Know.

1t may not be generally known, but
a certain prominent resident belongs
to a family in which he is one of TWEEN
ty-four brothers and sisters, sixteen Of
whom are now living. There were two
mothers in the family, the first having
eleven children and the second thir-
teen. The man in question belongs to
the second group. One of his sisters
grew to maturity, married, had seven
children and died before he was born.
He was an uncle before birth and a
great-uncle at five years of age. 1t is
said that when the latter event came
to pass and the youngster was inform
ed that he was now really and truly a
great-uncle he who had been an uncle
for five long years cooked his features
into an expression of sadness and re-
piled, THAT may be all right, but when
am going to be gran'pa Y-Ann Ar

PIKE AND MuskELLuNeE.
bow You May Easily Tell Them

how You May Easily Tell Them
Apart by Their Markings.
In the muskellunge the upper half of
cheek and gill cover is scaled, the
lower half being naked. The pike has
gill cover scaled like the 'Iunge's,
but the entire cheek is scaled. The
eastern and grass pickerel have cheek
and gill covers scaled all over. Hence
if only the upper half of the fishs
cheek is scaled, it is a 'lunge; if the
entire cheek and half the gill cover
show scales, the specimen is a great
northern pike.
Young muskellunge are distinctly
spotted with blackish on a greenish or
grayish ground. The mature fish shows
less distinct markings, although they
usually are discernible in the region of
the tail. l have, however, seen big, old
fish upon which the eye could detect
no spot, the general color being gray
ish green, with a few dim reflections.
Again l have seen fine fish of monde
script tint, as like that of an old, dry
rubber boot as anything can think of.
The young and old of the great
northern pike have the sides marked
with oval whitish or yellowish spots
several shades lighter than the ground
color; hence a fish with spots darker
than the ground color is 'lunge; with
lighter spots, a northern pike.-Edwyn
Sandys in Outing.

A Hustler,


Montana certainly has reputation
for people who hustle, as will be
seen from a little squib from The
Northwestern Magazint:
THE man from Montana had been
telling story of a landslide, how
he and his cabin had been carried
two miles and escaped all injury,
when one of his listeners said:
You don't mean to say that you
were rushed along with rocks and
dirt and trees for two miles and es.
capped Scot free?'
II said so. stranger" was the reply
But it doesn't seem possible"
Were you ever in Montana?"
mo"
Got any relatives out there?"
mo"
Going out there some time your
self?"
Perhaps So"
"Then you'll find that an yothel
man in Montana would have had tho
cabin hustled along twice as fast anC
carried at least 10 miles farther"

If a Scottish scientist is to be be-
heyed, the people of those countries
in which chess is most frequently
played are invariably more civilized
than those who inhabit countries in
which little attention is paid to this
great game.
The best chess players in the world,
he points out, We're to be found in
Spain during the period of its splendor
and in Italy during the renaissance,
whereas today there are few persons
in those countries who care for the
game.
