The Race for the Pole.
There've been races with yachts,
And with horses and wheels,
With steamships. balloons,
And with automobiles;
But over green pillows
That freeze as they roll
Now the nations are OF
In race for the Pole.
Bold Peary and Baldwin,
In uniforms blue,
The duke of Abruzzi,
And Bsrnier, too,
And dozen Of others
Are out. every soul,
For the secret that lies
At the heart Of the Pole.
But let Briton and German
And Russian and Jap
All enter the lists
In the great handicap;
For when they arrive
They will find at the goal
Old Glory afloat
On the top of the Pole.

Cure for Uneven Shoulders

Doctors and tailors have noticed that
the number Of patients and customers
who have even shoulders is increasing.
The right shoulder Is usually higher
than the left. This is true especially
Of men engaged in literary work. The
effect is due to the way men sit or
write at their desks. The right elbow
rests on the desk, throwing one shout
der higher than the other. Few ner-
sons when writing keep the should rs
erect. The reason that few women
clerks are so affected is because the
most of them use the typewriter, which
forces them to sit more erectly. When
you notice that you are affected the
best thing to do is to change YOUR wav

the swarthy monarch's hand. All at

gripped the Kings hand with a hearty

Worry Causes Dyspepsia.

Worry Is cause and source Of
much unhappiness. 1t seams the face
with line and burrows and has most
depressing effect upon that hypersen-
sitive organ, the stomach, which at
such times becomes a most unwilling
and laggard servant. Indeed, it is safe
to say that unless encouraged by a
cheerful temper and bright or, at least,
hopeful thoughts, the stomach will play
truant or sulk or do no good work. The
physiological explanation Of this is the
close alliance of the great sympathetic
nerves, which are worse than the tele-
graph for carrying bad news; the work
and anxiety which depress the brain
cause simultaneously a semi-paralysis

the Boise and Bruneau Shoshones were

reservation was set aside for the use
Of the tribes located on it. It origi-

years ago 100000 acres on the south

The winter prior to the building of
Fort Hall, Captain Bonneville and his
company Of trappers and hunters had
camped on the Portneuf plains, near
where Pocatello now stands, and hunt
ed over wide expanse Of territory.
The bold captain, however, was in
truth only bon vivant and voluptuary
in a coarse way and preferred to lord
it in the wilderness with a troop Of
white and red savages at his heels and
new squaw to wife every fortnight,
to submitting to the restraints Of civ
ilization.
Wyeth, however, came into the will
dcrness with serious purposes and
picked the site for his trading post
with care. The position for defense
was admirable, the stream preventing
approach. practically on two sides, and
the other sides being free from that
cover sc necessary to the Indian when
pitted with his bow and arrow against
the white man.
In Wyeth's party were five mission

he preached in the forest adjacent to
the fort. This was the first Christian
