Aching Joints

In the fingers, toes, arms, and other
parts of the body, are joints that are
infamed and swollen by rheumatism
that acid condition of the blood which
affects the muscles also.
Sufferers dread to move, especially
after sitting or lying long, and their
condition is commonly worse in wet
weather.
ut has been a long time since we have
been without Hoods Sarsaparilla. Ny
father thinks he could not do without 1t.
He has been troubled with rheumatism
since he was a boy, and Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the only medicine he can take that
will enable him to take his place in the
field" Miss ADA DoTY, Sidney, Iowa.

attention of the county superin.
tendent almost to the exclusion of
any other official work for the time
being.
The bonds Of Victoria district
have been purchased by the Board
OF University and School Lands.
The result will be the erection of a
new school house forthwith.
Sullivan district will endeavor
to bond for the two-fold purpose
OF erecting another schoolhouse
and funding outstanding indebted
ness.
DeGroat and Noonan districts
are taking steps to issue bonds for
the purpose of taking up out
standing bonds now due and pay
able.
Royal school district is agitated
over the question Of bonding and
building-the sentiment being
divided between the propositions
to built one central schoolhouse or
two separate buildings. This will
be"settled at a special meeting of
the voters on Feb. 18th.
Bids are asked for the erection
of a new schoolhouse for School
No. 2, Morris, generally known as
the Baker school," Plans are
being prepared with, special at
tention to proper light, heat and
ventilation and the building will be
up-to.date in every feature.
On Feb. nth, the residents of
Creel school district will vote on
the question of bonding for an
amount sufficient to erect three
new schoolhouses to take the place
of the poor structures so long in
use in that township (Ontario.)
The question of bonding for
building purposes is being seriously
considered in Oakland, Triumph,
and other districts and it is likely
that many of the schools of the
county will be provided with bet
ter quarters within the next few
months.

Carried Her Up Nineteen High Stories.

petite and dark, and told her 30.

"But," said Miss Myrtle smiling,
"It's foolish to believe a man. They
are such deceitful creatures. If you
love me why don't you prove it?"
Darling" cried the rapturous and
unsuspscting lover, II will. There is
nothing in the worldI wouldn't do for

"Then," said Miss Vance, "carry

glad to do it"
IF do will you marry me 2 he
asked with admirable caution.
"Yes, darling" she answered 'weetly.
That is why a small but sturdy
young man threw off his coat and hat

began the hardest love task on record.
An interested crowd of spectators
followed him.
According to the terms ofthe contract
Hayes could not set the girl down
more than four times in the aggregate.

fourteenth and the sixteenth stories,
and then commenced the final climb.
His face was wan and drawn, and
his breath came in gasps, but he kept
on. His progress grew slower until,
on the final flight, his knees bent under
him and he seemed almost ready to
fall. Summoning all his strength into
one final effort he.caught the girl closer
to him and half ran, half stumbled up
the few steps that separated him from
his goal. His strength lasted just
long enough for him to drop Miss
Myrtle on the top floor; then he sank
down on the stone pavement and his
friends had half an hours work tc
revive him.

for her lover to come to.

scattered senses into action.
"Of course you did, Billy" said Myr-

Hayes staggered to his feet, but had
to be assisted to the elevator.

He Didn't Jump.

81 spoke from the same platform
last autumn with a funny fellow who
told the best story | heard in the cam
paign," Representative Foster of YER
mont was telling group in one of the
coy corners Of the House cloakrooms.
1T was used to illustrate the preva-
lence of good times for working men.
"a man had landed in San Fran
cisco after extensive travels, mighty
close to being busted. He had de-
cided to work rather than starve, and
applied to freight Office Of one of
the trans-continental lines for 3 place
as brakeman. The road hal a job
waiting for bin, and he asked:
CHOW much do you pay month";
1--WE don't pay by the month";
"'How much a week.
"'Don't pay by the week. WepaY
brakemen 8 cents mile.
"Our busted friend went to work
on the first freight east from Frisco
AS the locomotive pulled up into the
mountains it moved slower, and the
new brakeman, counting the miles
began to be greatly dissatisfied with
his job. But before reaching the sum-
NIT the train broke in two. At the
rate of so miles an hour the rear end
went backing down the mountain side
Don't jump shouted the 'con-
ductor to the new brakeman. Stick
to it, and don't jump
Jump shouted back the brake
mrn. Well 1 guess I won't jump.
What kind of a fool do you take me

Tiber to Give up Its Treasures.

If public expectation is realized the
museums of Rome and possibly elee-
where will shortly be enriched by the
addition to the stores of curios of sun
dry articles of value which for ages
have lain hidden beneath the muddy
bed of old Father Tiber. The au-
thoritiss of the Eternal City have
granted permission to Prof. Giro Ms
pilaudi to make thorough search of
the Tiber for the loot that the river
has in immemorial times wrenched
from the citizens of the Roman capt.
tai. These should be, if the tales that
have come down to US from the re-
mote past are reliable, of almost price
less value, although it may very well
happen the centuries that have gone
by since the Romans cast their great
est treasures into the river as offerings
to the gods have inflicted great dam
age upon them. In any event, the
effort Prof. Nispilaudi proposes to
make is distinctly worth while, and
promises greater rewards than those
of the fortune-seekers who dredge sus-
pected waters in search of pirate treas
ure. When one remembers the stories
of tribute to the yellow waters Of this
river of antiquity, how persistently,
in the days when Jupiter and the
other gods of Roman mythology ruled
supreme, the people held to the idea
that they could be appeaaed only by
the dumping oftons ofbeautiful things
into the river, just as some of our less
enlightened citizens of New York cast
less desirable articles into the Hud-
son; how early Christians cast innu'
merable aud costly symbols of the
idolatry Of their predecessors into
these same depths, and how again the
Tiberian current swept into its NAV
the arms and armor of the thousands
of warriors who fought the strenuous
battles of ancient times upon her bank;
we cannot but feel that herein lies
a graft Of wondrous richness for those
who are seeking to redeem them from
their long oblivion.

Horse Has Tail 10 Feet Long.


On board the Atlantic Transport
liner Minneapolis, which sailed Satur'
day from New York, was the last OF
the Oregon wonder horses, Linus II,
bound for London. Linus II is
shipped in the name Of Frank @. Bos-
took to the Bostock syndicates, of Lon
don, Glasgow and Paris, for the Lon
don Hippodrome. Mr.. Bo'tock few
days ago paid large sum, said to be
$4,000, to Rutherford Bros. & Coe,
of Washington, N. Y, for the animal,
and sends him across the water in
sured in several companies for a total
of $4,000, in charge of his trainer,
Silas Beebe.
Linus II, s years old, is rich
chestnut, with an amber name and
tail. His name on each side is little
more than Is feet long, while his tail
measures 19 feet. 1t takes two hours
to properly groom him. His name
and tail are each tied up in many sep
arate folds, the name being many
times the thickness of that of an ordi-
nary horse. 1t is expected that he
will create a sensation on the other
side of the water.
The first of this breed of horses was
Oregon Beauty, freak foaled in Ore
gon. His only progeny was Linus,
whose only living descendant is Linus
II, out of the Morgan mare, Morgan
Jennie. A peculiar fact in regard to
these three generations is that in each
the length of name and tail increased.
Oregon Beauty was worked on a farm
until Is years old before being put on
exhibition, and in 1887 at Coney Is
land he was killed by lightning. Ii
nus, sire of Linus II, died in 1894 at
Calais, Maine.

Not Far Wrong.

The story is well known of Eliot's
translation into the Indian language
Of the passage from the Bible, "Ihe
mother Of Sisera looked out through
the lattice" Not knowing the In
dian word for Lattice" he tried to
get the Indians to help him out, and
described wicker framework. The
Indians thought they recognized his
meaning, and gave him the word. At
terward Eliot found that he had made
the mother of Sisera cry through the
eel-pot. A similar difficulty in coax
ing definition from the untutored
was met by school teacher.
She was trying to make the children
define the word bovine"
To live through fifty years of mar
ried life is rare event, but to be able
to say at the end of that time that dur
ing all the intervening half century
no harsh word was ever spoken by
h sband or wife, and that their we'd
ded life has been one long courtship
Of true love and mutual affection, is
indeed a striking example Ofconataney
and devotion in contrast with many
unhappy marriages of today rasbly
contracted and speedily annulled.
This has been the experience of Mr..
and Mrs. Joachim Fetzer, of Winches-
ter. Last week they celebrated the
anniversary of their golden wedding.

10 Stop Price Cutting

1.-The much talked of book trust, or
association, will not increase the price

bookseller to a reporter. THE combi-
nation or trust, was organized for the
protection of the dealers, instead Of
for the purpose of making additional
profit, as some have said. The prin-
cipal object of this association is to
prevent the department stores from
cutting the price of books in order that
they may attract people into their

partment stores would mark the popu-
lar books way below cost. For in
stance a book would be advertised for
ninety-five or ninety-eight cents, prob
ably within five cents Of the selling

this. Most books are marked net
and the dealer who sells below the
price will be scarce on books in the

citation but were cut off in their sup

soon as Deacon was released from pris-
on he went to Paris to bring suit for
divorce and custody of his children,
who, till then, had remained with the
mother. He also brought a similar suit
in New York. Mrs. Deacon tried to
head him off by counter suit, but
failed He secured a divorce and the
custody of all the children, but a settle
ment was shortly afterward effected by
which the two oldest girls were left
with Mrs Deacon. In 1896 Deacon re-
turned to this country with Dorothy
and Edith.
Mrs. Deacon stayed in Paris and for
some time there was much talk of
marriage between her and Count Louis
de Turenne-a union that seemed very
desirable to that nobleman because
Mrs. Deacon was credited with having
a personal income of more than $4,000
a year. Deacon developed symptoms
of mental disease shortly after his re-
turn and had finally to be confined in
an asylum in Somerville, Mass. Pre-
vious to that Mrs. Deacon and the other
two daughters had also returned here.
It was said at the time that they had
come at the request of Deacon. Soon
the world was told of a complete recon-
ciliation between husband and wife
Mrs. Deacon went to live with her
brother, Charles Baldwin, at San Fran
cisco. Deacon died in the asylum July
6, 1901. By his will his estate. valued
at $12O, 900, was equally divided between
his daughters.

York and Paris papers the following Sc
quence of events occurred:
The young prince. who was a nephew
of the famous Austrian diplomat.
Prince Alloys Lichtenstein, met Mrs.
Deacon-or Mrs. Baldwin, as she was
cumbed at the first sight of this beau
tiul woman. 1t was the old story of
beautiful matron's capacity for arous-
ing the infatuation of a susceptible
young man. The second time he met
Mrs. Deacon, the young prince told her
something Of this sort:
"Hush," she said. "You haven't even
met my daughter yet
The next day the prince met the
daughter. In a few days the impress

more overcome with the charms of
Miss Gladys Deacon than he had ever
been by those of her mother. His at

The result Of this fad is that the dealer
very often has a lot of unstable lit
erature on hand.
"The best books do not always have
the largest sale. There are hundreds
of books, with no literary merit what
