won..lx Grit.

AZ an example of womanly grit and
enterprise Miss Alma Halverson, for
q long time popular employe in the
Lesh house, stands out in bold relief.
Some months ago the young woman
entered her employment and with her
first available earnings went to Mi
not and filed homestead ON fine
quarter section of land few miles
from Bowbells. Returning, she lost
no time in again entering upon her
duties in the hotel and saved almost
every dollar of her earnings for six
straight months, when, few days
ago, she drew from Mr.. Lesh her
wages, amounting to little less than
500, which she at once invested in
lumber with which to erect a shack,
cooking utensils and other articles as
were necessary for her to begin actu-
al and legal residence ON the land.
where she is now comfortably located
and perfectly content with her lot.
This young woman is bound to win
out-and her example is certainly
worth emulation by all the young
maids in the land.

Important Decision.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the case of Gaar,
Scott & Co. VS.. j. A. Serum, sheriff Of
Trail county. The decision reverses
the judgment of the court below. The
one question raised in the case was
the right to assess and tax personal
property in the year in which it is
brought into the state, when it comes
into the, state after April OF that
year. The court holds that no per-
sonal property can be assessed for the
purpose of taxation which was not in
the state on April ! in the year when
1t was so assessed. This of course
does not apply to personal property
which happens to be out Of the state

FOOD IN FRUIT SKINS.
Nutritive Qualities In Them Believed
to he Brain Food.

There are more nutritive qualities
hidden in the skins of fruits, cereals
and vegetables than the average per-
son is aware Of In fact, the great
bulk of the brain building foods are in
the skins of the fruits and vegetables
we eat.
If. as Savarin says. "the destiny of
nations depends on their food" then
the destiny, whether Il healthy long
life or insanity or suicide of every unit
of the United States depends on how he
or she is fed.
If the breed so much depends upon
food. why should not every person ca
pable of normal thought seek to pro-
cure such food as best sustains his or
her normality? Brain starvation,
through the lack of suitable brain and
nerve nouriShment in our daily food.

stimulants to supply. as they do arti.

4 'r0tscil Negro.

Stories of brute toughncsS and Ho-
meric endurance are tcnderly preServ
ed in the folklore of the water front
how, for instance, Scipio Flanagan,
''the biggest niger in the business
supported the entire weight Of an inn
mense packing case, weighing upward
of 1880. on his PROSTATE body. The
negro held the hand truck to receive
the case, which in the hands of half
dozen men was being balanced at just
the right angle to slip into place. But
it hit the edge of the truck and knock
ed it away. and the negro unluckily
lost his footing and fell fiat with the
great box on top of him. He shrieked
in terror and groaned, it was said, like
a siren whistle but When Il gang of
fifteen men lifted the thing bodily and
pulled him out all he did WAS to screw
his fists into his eyes like Il big child,
stretch his long limbs grotesquely and
return to work. OF course he talked
about this feat for many a day.-Frank

Old DclusiOns.

1t is inexplicabe how the old delu-
sion that man cannot cut one quail
a day for thirty days holds it's own.
Any man can eat one quail day for
thirty days. At Lawrence some years
ago Will Upton ate two quails day
for more than thirty days. For the
first week or two he starved himself
with the idea that he must keep up an
appetite. After that he sometimes ate
three or four of the birds in a day.
Another old fraud on the public is
the belief that horse cannot pull
sack of sand at the end Of a two hun
dred foot rope. Any COW pony in Kan
sas will go off on a lope with such
sack.-Kansas City Journal.

best part of the wine; in the skins of
all fruits and vegetables, and if not in
the skins of the cereals, how comes it
that stimulating properties are extract
ed from them. as the inner kernel,
the starch, is devoid of anything other
than heat giyer?
1t has been proved by chemical anal
ysis and demonstrated by microscopic
experiments that the most valuable
brain sustaining properties are resi-
dent in all skins of cereals, fruits and
vegetables, and as an instance of the
great difference to the health resultant
from partaking or rejecting the skins
here is an incident that occurred in
India. as told by an Indian officer:
A regiment was stationed in a part
of the country where grapes were the
chief article of food. The officers, one
after another, became SO sick as to be
invalided as unfit for service, but it
being considered remarkable that the

found that while every trooper in eat

a CURE FOR THE "SNITCH."

The Kansas Bar association is tack
ling the problem Of the 'snitch' Else
where he is called the shyster and is
sometimes called the personal injury
lawyer" says an exchange. He is
pesuferous fellow anywhere and how
ever termed He chases up the i'll
jured person and secures the job of
suing for damages on a contingent
fee as large as the victim, usually his
victim, can be wheedled into giving;
generally half, often more. He pro-
vides the swift witness if credible
ones arc lacking and coaches them
in their testimony. The merits OF the
case have nothing to do with it; he
makes the merits He is strong on
coporations paints their heartess-
ness, their rapacity in lurid colors;
works on the preiudices of the jury,
which, if he can, he has fixed
Every community has him in great
er or fewer numbers. SO disreput-
able has he become, SO unscrpulous
are his methods, that reputable law
yerS hesitate to take personal injury
cases. And still there are merito-
rious cases whose prosecution is le
gitimate The consequence of the i'll
oder with which the snitch his envel-
oped this kind of litigation is that
even the cases with merit fall into
his hands to the loss of the injured.
The Kansas City bar goes no further
than to expel from the association all
such lawyers. AS they have no pro-
fessional ethics and care nothing for
bar associations the remedy is about
as efficacious as making faces at
them. A more efficient remedy would
be a law letting the jury, where dam
ages are awarded, fix the share of it
which the "snitch' shall have.

FAST OCEAN GREYHoUNDs
Company to Establish Line of Tur-
 bine Steamers.

New York. Jan IS.-To clip from twen- ty. four to thirty-siX hcurs from the rec ord time for crossing the Atlantic is the promise of the New York and European Steamship Company, a new trans-Atlan- tie steamship line. which offers assur- ances of a speedy fulf1llment ol It's pledge. says The Tribune.
 T his company, which has already ap- rlied for pier privileges in this city and formulated the larger part of its plans, expects by the substituting of the rur- b;ne engine for that now in use to se- cure a constant speed of thirty knots an hour in its new hoats.
 Such a speed will mean that passengers can be carried from !his country to Eu- rope in a little more than four days. The success that has attended the use of the turbine engine in Europe. especially the remarkable speed that has been secured thereby, has naturally raised the ques- tion as to it's adaptability for transAt- lantic steamers. In this connection a strong company has been organized and plans have been pretty well completed for this new line.
 To cut off day in the time of crossing the Atlantic will mean to bring enormous profits to the steamship company which succeeds in doing it. Fast mails not only of this country but those beginning to pass through from Australia and the far East, will naturally fall to the steam ship company that can handle them quickest. Delivered at Queenstown. those mails could, according to the planS of the New York and European company, be carried in three days and seven hours q reduction of two days from the pres ent time. Of the importance and value of turbine engines President R. H. Thurs ton recently spoke at length before the society of mechanical engineers.

Report of the Canal
 Commission. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS Lampre's Syndicate Can Give
 a Clear Title. Claimed That All Objections Hereto- fore Urged Have Been Met-rhe Report Sent to President
 Roosevelt
THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS

Washington, Jsn. 1s-The sup-IemsntaY report of the Isthmian Canal Commission en the proposition of the Panama Canal company to dispose of it's property to the United States for s4o,ooO.0oo was delivered to President Roosevelt this evening.
 The members of the committee decline to discuss the nature of tho report. ana like reticence is maintained at the White House, but it was stated on excellent au- thority that the report unanimously rec- ommends that the offer of the Panama Company be accepted. The report was completed about o'clock this evening. and, after being signed by the membera of the commission. was carried by Ad- miral Walker. chairm Tn of the commis- sion. to Secretary Hay. who transmitted 1t to the President. The latter will send the repoft to Congress the first of the week. probably Monday.
 The report goes fully into the stepa which must be taken in order to insure q perfect title to the United States. for, in addition to the present Panama Canal Company, the old organization and the Colombian Government must be reckoned with. The report finds, however. 1t is said. that the new company can give clear title.
 It is stated that the report says that when the commission made it's recent re- port favoring the Nicaraguan route. no offer to sell to this Government had been made by the Panama Company. The of- fer of s4o.oOo.ooO made in behalf of the company by M. I.apre. it is said. changes the situation completely. It is further stated that the report shows that little over 1000 shares of Panama railroad stock Is owned by individuals outside the Panama Canal Company. and that these can be purchased for a eompara- lively small sum. Other obstacles to the sale the report says. have been removed.
