WANT Them.
SLOT Machines Offered
Home in Sand Point.

When the news was received at
Standpoint, Idaho, that the anti-vice
people had taken up the trail
against their old enemy, the nickel
intheslot machines. Thomas Mar
tin. who is to manage the bar at
the Palace hotel at that place, hied
himself forth as a friend of the
innocent-looking gambling device to
offer a few of them permanent sit
uatiOns-and no disturbance-in
the booming and prosperous town
of Standpoint.
Mr.. Martin is a veteran of the
Spanish war and a prominent re-
publican politician of Standpoint.
We want the slot machines" says
Mr. Martin. They are the most
innocent of gambling devices, and
if the people must gamble, which
is generally admitted, the slot ma
chine is no worse than other prop
ositions which are allowed full
swing in Spokane"

DENY STORY
Company K Home From
Practice March.

Company X of the Seventeenth
infantry of Fort Wright returned
yesterday at 10 o'clock after a nine
days practive march southwest Of
Spokane.
Lieutenant Hobbs was in charge
and reports a successful trip. None
of the men were seriously i'll and
all seem to have enjoyed them
selves thoroughly.
The men deny the stories of dis
turbances in the neighborhood of
Sprague and state that while there
may have been some little ebulli-
tion of spirits in a decent way by
some of the members. that there
was no general disorder. In fact,
the trip was notable for it's quiet,
although, despite the rains during
the first part, it was one Of the
most enjoyable ever taken.
If the appearances of health
stand for anything, the trip was
profitable to all.

During the time the inspector

1T will not be known before De-
cember l just what site is in favor

king was Persimmon, who was the
first to win him the Derby and the
Ascot cup. The latter event puts
the seal on thoroughbred's fame.
Diamond Jubilee, brother to
Persimmon, perhaps won more re-
nown that his illustrious brother,
for he enrolled his royal owner in
that small and select band who
have possessed the triple crown"
which means that he won the Two
Thousand stake, the Derby and st.
Leger
Had he not been cursed by tenn
per which made him absolutely UNI
manageable at times, Diamond Jul
bilee would undoubtedly have won
more honors for his owner, for he
had greater opportunity. The'king's
jockey, Jack" Watts. could do
nothing with him, and it was finally
decided to put up the little stable
boy, H. Jones, who had been the
mad horses" constant companion
in the stables.
1t proved a master stroke, for
while Diamond Jubilee was a de-
mon when anyone else tried to han
ole him, he showed marked affec-
ton for the stable boy and was al
ways tractible when Jones was up.
For a long time after the death
of Queen Victoria, the king was not

illness, and especially within the

The speaker was Miss Luella Mi

come to Pilgrim church to lecture
and was talking to your reporter
about China.
Miss Minor was behind the walls
Of Picking throughout the entire
siege of two months, during the
Boxer uprising.
The Boxers were not incensed
against the missionaries 80 much as
they were against general foreign in
vasion," said Miss Minor. They
only hated the missionaries because
they were foreigners.
Il was an instructor in a college
at Tung-ChOn, city of 10000 IA
miles from Picking. The Boxers tore
up the railroad there two weeks be-
fore they attacked the missionaries.
They were making battle against
new customs. There was one troll

uprising, and that was torn up by
the Boxers. The college where |
taught was destroyed, together with

Permain G. Jones were awarded
the repairing contract at the school
board meeting last evening.
The work includes the finishing
of the woodwork, painting. etc. The
plumbing will probably exceed 5000,
so that will require sealed bids
before the contract may be let.
Estimates were read to the

issue the several warrants.
The sealed bids were opened for
the venetian blinds on the several

awarded to w. e. Mccormick.
Two applications for janitorship
were read and placed on file.
The subject of the proposed an

TRAINING THEIKINC'S HORSES.
ONE. THE. MOST. PRINcEuN ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE

LONDON, Nov. 25.-One of the
most princely establishments in the
British kingdom is the Egerton
house, at Newmarket, where the
kings horses-all thoroughbreds-
are trained for the races. 1t is
princely because the king is prob
ably the greatest lover of the thor
oughbreds in the realm, and also
because he can afford it.
Egerton house is the residence of
Richard Marsh, the kings trainer,
OF whose efforts his majesty
showed keen appreciation by per-
sonally bestowing upon him a med

ton. While Thoroughly up-todate
trainer. Marsh is one of the old
school, and he is as famous for the
social side of his character as he is
at the race courses.
The business of training his
majesty's racers is an arduous one,
especially when carried out with
the infinite care for detail that
Marsh insists upon. Up with the
lark, and out on the heath with a
large string every morning, he has
to decide just how much work each
one must receive each day, and
when the horses are ready for the
paddock, none in the kingdom are
in better shape for the contest. Not
the least part Of the training is the
weighing which takes place In a
finely appointed room of the Eyer
ton house. 1t is here that Marsh de-
termines just how much weight
each candidate shall carry, and no
one, even the king and Mr. Marsh
knows these figures.
Probably the most famous horse
that Marsh ever trained for the

STICK TO ONE THING.
A Man Who Wishes He Had Lived
Up TO That Rule.

"The orSy way for Il man on q salary
to make a success of life financially
and otherwise is to stick to one thing"
said Il government employee to a re-
porter. s'Twenty years ago | had plenty
of energy, Il little money and a huge
Il power in the money market and rs a
starter dabDled for six months or more
in stocks. That experience cost me 81
600. l soon became convinced that |
was cut out for a druggist and straight
way invested $1,000 in Il pharmacy.
Cut rates We're unknown in those days,
and in a short time | was doing well,
but one day l read of prominent law
case, and instantly | became imbued
With the idea that l would make 4
great lawyer. l neglected my drug
business to such an extent that in two
years | was 5000 to the bad. In the
meantime l read law diligently After
a time graduated as 4 full tledged dis
ciple of Blackstone and hung out my
as fast as | thought it should, opened
small hotel; result, 81 500 in the hole.
"Then tried MY hand at real estate,
my legal training helping me greatly,
but the same old story will have to be
recorded here-failure. By this time my
money was nearly all gone. What to do
next WAS the all absorbing question.
One day a friend convinced me that
big money could be made out Of chick
ems. | invested every cent l had left,
$1,000, in hens. At the end of six
months l sold out my hennery for $500.
Then | got Il government job, and here
I've been ever since. Shortly after my
arrival in this town l purchased a lit
tie land in the northwest section. That
investment has yielded me Il very
handsome return, and | am now thor
ou9hly satisfied that the only thing for
a man on a salary to do is to either put
Il little each month in some good say
ings bank or invest his surplus in land
or bricks and mortar. Remember one
thing - this Is an age of specialists
Stick to one thing. make Il success of
it, and maybe one of these days some
big company will offer You a princely
salary for your knowledge. \ rolling
