THE reference In the memorandum
TO the latter Of Gov, Taft 70 the seore-
tary OF war dated Feb. 7, 1902, is TO a
letter transmitting for the purpose OF
an investigation by the military au-
thorlties, a report by the civil governor
Of the province OF Tayabas containing
in general terms and without speci-
cations or names, serious charges
against the military administration IN
that province and against the conduct
Of the army generally In its relations to
the civil government.
"This report was on the 18th OF Feb
ruary sent to Gen. Chaffee with the fol-
lowing direction;
"'There is 50 much contained In this
report rejecting not only upon officers
OF the army but the general conduct OF
affairs and the administration OF the

"Why is it," says the girl, ''that in
giving an account Of an accident they
always give the age of the person in
jured? l can see the sense of their
talking about blends and brunettes, a
mustache or full beard if it is a man
or red, green or blue gown if it is a
woman, for that is means of identifi-
cation for acquaintance and friends
who may be interested. They don't
even put the age in the death notices
now, but if you meet with an accident
out it comes in all the papers in town.
But they will never publish mine. 1

the street, and when there is particu-
larly bad crowd say to myself, "Now,

matter how badly hurt, you are to re-

FLOWING WITH ELEPHANTS
Barnum's Reply to the Farmer Who
Asked Whether 1t Would Pay,

1t may be said of 2. T. Barnum that
he was the major domo or lord of
laughter and fun, the protean dispenser
of amusement. How well he became
known through this function one curl
Gus incident certifies. Some years be-
fore he died an obscure person in some
remote part of Asia wrote a letter,
which he dropped in the poStOtfice near
him, directed to ''Mr. Barnum, Ameri-
ca" The letter reached its destination
without an hours delay. The great
Snowman unaffectedly enjoyed being
known from the very beginning of his
celebrity, and when he found his celeb
rity was tremendous factor in his sue
cess he did everything that he could
think of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to nourish
vain imaginings or because he felt eX-
allied. 1t was to promote business.
ArolSnd his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn, he was fond of put
ting something that suggested show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred COW
or an elephant was frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in blowing on the sloping hilN
where it could be plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural inno-
walton that he knew would get notice
of some sort in every newspaper in the
country. 1t was even said that he re-
ceived letters from farmers far and
wide asking how much hay one ele-
plant ate and if it was more profitable
to pillow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen. His replies were in
variably frank and were of this pur-
port: If you have large museum in
New York and great railway sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performance, it will pay,
and pay well, but if you have no such
institution then horses and oxen will
prove more economical-Joel Benton in
Century.

Rejected Fortunes.

Professor Bell had a strenuous time
over his invention of the telephone. He
took the first working model of his
instrument to John A. Logan and Of
fered him a half interest for $4,000,
saying that it would do away with the
telegraph and that there would be mil
lions in it. Logan replied: 81 dare say
your machine works perfectly, but who
would want to talk through such
thing as that, anyway? advise you to
save your money, young man." Bell
then offered tenth interest to an ex-
aminer in the patent Office for 500 in
cash. 1t was refused. That tenth in
terest was worth $1,50O,OO0 in fifteen
years.-Pearson's.

The question of a city park for
Kalispell and the best site for the
same is receiving a great deal of at
tention from the citizens of the COM
munity and it is probable that at the
next meeting of the city council some
steps will be taken to bring the mat
ter to the attention of the councilmen
Various sites have been suggested
but to all there is found objections
and unless concerted action is taken
and the majority of the people of the
city are in favor of some one place.
the proposition will go the way of all
other similar movements and will re-
suit in nothing being done.
One the sites spoken of and, by
the way, it is so far the most desir-
able from many points of view, is the
tract of land in the High cchool ad-
dition to Kalispell, owned by w. c..
Whips. There are 23 acres in the
tract, with Ashley creek running
through one corner, insuring plenty
of water at all times. AS the mains
from the city sewers do not enter the
creek until some distance below, the
water is pure and wholesome, and
can be used for many purposes.
There is plenty of shrubbery along
the banks of the creek and with lit
tie labor a handsome park can be
started which in a few years will
blossom into a recreation ground
that will be a credit to the city. tt e
site is superior in mayn ways to any
within the confines of the city, es-
pecially so in regards to size. A
block is not large enough for park,
although one of that size, even, is a
great deal better than none. Cost,
too, will cut figure when it comes
to buying a block anywhere in the
city and it is ver' probable that the
Ashley creek site can be secured at
far cheaper price, size considered,
than any desirable block in town.
The proposed site has many cup
porters who are working to bring the
matter before the council, and if any
action should be taken in the near
future this site will meet with favor

Medicinal Uses of Salt.

Salt is one of the greatest of natural
remedies and antiseptics. A weak So
lution-an even teaspoonful in a glass
of water. cold or hot-is excellent for
Indigestion. A solution of about the
same strength will often relieve cold
in the head if snuffed up through the
nose.
Severe pains in the bowels are often
relieved by the application of bag of
hot salt.
