His Consolation.

A lawyer who has won some distinc-
ton through his success in compromis-
ing suits for damages by accident says
his most interesting client was a Swed-
ish farmer from Delaware county
whose wife had been killed in Phila-
delphia by train crossing the streets
at grade.
The widower was simply inconsola-
BILE and, having been told that he
could get $4,000 if he insisted on
pushing the case, refused for months
to talk compromise. The lawyer, Of
course, did all possible to keep the
hearing back in the hope of discour-
aging the Swede, and at last he was
rewarded by an offer to settleat rea-
sonable figure.
The Swede called, the lawyer said
$500, and the bereaved one quickly ac-
copied AS he folded the check and
pocketed it he observed:
"Vell, l deed not do so padlee! Pfe

Explaining His Presence.

A young lady who had been pouring
tea at a function in suburban town,
having toward the end of the affair
become somewhat fatigued, sat down
in a quiet corner of the room, where
she witnessed the following incident:
A young man came in and made his
way to the hostess, greeting her and
apologizing for his lateness.

Blank" said the hostess. $50 good of
you to come, and all the way from
New York too. But where is your

regrets. You see, we are so busy just
now that it was impossible for both of

The Persevering Eel.

Young cells in passing up a river
show the most extraordinary perse-

The large flood gates-sometimes fif-

Files That XIII Spiders.

Flies are the natural prey of spiders,
yet, strange to say, there are in Brazil
some flies which prey on spiders. These
daring little insects do not differ much
from ordinary flies.
They are hymenoptera, and Pepsis
ornata is a typical insect of this kind.
They usually come upon the spiders
when the latter are unprepared and
sting them to death.
A spider after being stung once has
generally sufficient strength to hide In
a tuft of grass, but his shelter proves
only of temporary service, for the pitt
less fly soon returns and completes its
work by singing the helpless victim
twice in the lower part of the thorax.

tons, particularly beneath the broad |
lava-fioored plains bordering Snake
river, favor the hope of obtaining
flowing water by drilling wells. and
where test wells should be put down
IN order to determine the correct
ness of differences based on geologi-
cal and other. conditions. Of the U.s.
600 square miles of the region about
1920 square miles were examined,
the main route lying eastward from
near Boise across Gilmore, Lincoln
and Blaine counties, and into Bin
CHAM county as far as Blackfoot.
The Snake river plains present a
typical illustration of an insular or
continental climate, such as is char
acteristic of such regions of mild re-
lief, remote from the tempering in
fiuences of the ocean, and deprived of
their requisite share of moisture by
the presence of lofty mountains in
the path of the prevailing winds. The
rocky and the lava-covered portions
of the plains excepted, the soil is
fine, yelowish-white, silt-like material,
largely dust deposit, similar to the
celebrated loess of China and to the
deposit bearing the same name in the
Mississippi valley, and of exceptional
| fertility if properly irrigated.
For many miles the Snake river re-
l;ceives no perennial tributaries from
the mountains to the north, but many
springs, aggregating many thousand
cubic feet per second, pour out
throughout the year their waters
from the northern wall of the Snake
river canyon. The temperature of
this spring water seems to show that
it is supplied by the subterranean
flow of lost rivers" which come
j down from the mountains.
The amount of water power avail
able along Snake river is practically
unlimited, but is as yet unutilized
Agriculture is dependent on irriga-
ton, and the most important commu
mites have grown up along irrigation
canals. The most valuable crop is
hay principally alfalfa.

Professor Russell takes up the sub

the conclusion that the present sur

and that it is practicable to use fol

BURIED UNDER SNOW.
the Great Storm That Overwhelmed
New England In 1717.

the Great Storm That Overxh elmeS
New England In I717.
In the spring of 1717 an amount of
snow fell in New England that has not
been equaled during the three centu-
ries of its history. The great storm
began In February and buried the
earth to the depth of ten to twenty
feet. Cattle were buried in it and
were found frozen stiff under the
drifts, and hundreds of sheep persisted.
Wild animals grew so desperate from
the cravings of hunger that they be-
came nightly visitors to the farmers
sheep pens Bears and wolves fol-
lowed the deer even into the settlers
clearings and pounced upon them there,
killing them at such a rate that deer
reeves were afterward chosen in every
town to protect those valuable animals.
Many one story house was entirely
covered with snow, and even the Chin
neys in some instances could not be
seen. Tunnels led from house to house,
and snowshoes were in frequent requi-
sition.
Stepping out of the chamber win
dow some people ventured to explore
the fields of snow. One young man In
Newbury, Mass, was paying his adj
dresses to lady who lived three miles
away and had not seen her for week
after the storm. This state of things
could no longer be endured, and, mount
| ing his snowshoes, he went over the
hills to enter her house as he had left
his own-by way of chamber win
dow. AS he was the first person the
family had seen since the storm, his
visit was highly appreciated.

to go over the accounts of Adjutant

finished them he arose and said that
the minutes of the last meeting had
been so changed that he was unable,
as chairman of the committee, to pro-
coed under the resolution.
Adjutant General Liller arose and
exclaimed, do you mean to say that

Colonel Harrison replied: Il mean

seat and made dash for the deposed

MIX as a Food.

Milk as a food is a perfect one for
the very young infant only. In adult
life it is often of service and may save
life, but it does not afford all the mate
rails required for nutrition. Moreover,
it yields what is not required-a large
percentage of lime. The latest re-
searches show that this is not so great
ly on account of the quantity of lime
contained In the milk as because the
salts are in form peculiarly adapted
for retention in the system.

who was created before this world
was made and who will sit down on

ment and plead on behalf of his peo-
pie, to listen to my requests. When
return home, 1 have nothing to live on.

Missoula plant one~of the most com
plete in the northwest
The Butte plant is practically new
having been installed at that place
about two years ago. The powe
house will be of brick, al d near |
