His Meal on the Train.
From the Baltimore Herald.

The story is told of a man who was riding on train and pretende to become i'll after eating sandwich. The man opened his grip and took out hot water bag. He got a sympa athletic porter to fill the bag with boiling water, and then he opened his luncheon basket, took out a piece of fried steak and warmed it up on the water bag. Then, after he had warmed the steak, he cut 1t all up with a pair of scissors and fed 1t to himself with pair of sugar tongs, because he would not take a chance with a fork going around a curve. After he had eaten the steak he unscrewed the stopper of the water bag and poured himself out a cup of hot coffee He had the grounds in the bag all the time.

men for a specific for Brlght's Disease

They commenced the serious inves-

They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by put
ting over three dozen cases on the
treatment and watching them. They
also got physicians to name chronic,
incurable cases, and administered il
with the physicians for judges. UI
to Aug. %, eighty-seven per cent OF
the test cases were either well or pro

The committee on arrangements
desires to impress upon the pub
lie the TACT that one ticket will

An Old Timer Gone.


Another OF the early pioneers
Of the west, one who belonged to
that rapidly thinning band Of
trail blazers who first dared the
perils Of the plains and set their
stakes on the western slope OF
the Rockies, has been gathered
to his last long sleep.
w. S. Lancaster passed away
at his home ON the prairie, Sun
day night, August 23rd. He was
stricken suddenly i'll with cholera
mOrbus and before his many
friends knew Vi his illness he was
mo more. The funeral was delay
ed until yesterday afternoon to
allow the absent members OF his
family to gather from distant
parts, when it took place from
the Methodist church, interment
being had in Pine Grove GENE :
terry. Rev. T. G.. Hodgson con :
Quoted the services, being assist
ed by Rev. G. T. Cook. There
were thirty-tive carriages in the
procession which followed the re-
mains to their last resting place.
w. s. Lancaster was born in
Liverpool, England, in 1882.
He came to America at the age
of Il years. He married his first
wife in Iow;. and crossed the
plains to California in 1852. He
pioneered all over the coast,
and was in Walla Walla in 1860
when his wife died. Returning to
the east, to Pennsylvania, i'll
1868 Mr.. Lancaster married his
second wife who survives him.
He then spent several years in
the Black Hills, coming to Koot-
enai county, Idaho, in 1883. He
engaged in the mercantile bust
ness at Kootenai, with Ex-Gov.
Miles 9. Moore, Of Washington
as his partner. He then moved
upon the prairie near Rathdrum
where he engaged in farming.
The following children survive
him: VIM. Lancaster, in TIL
Blackhills, (the only son not
present at the funeral); Mrs.
Sadie Mcdonald, Walla Walla; J
E. Lancaster, Curlew, Wash; p.
A. Lancaster, Chesaw, WASH;
Mrs. Josie White, Rathdrum;
Mrs. Chas. Kelsey, Camp McKin :
ney, b. c.; Henry Lancaster, Mrs
Lennie Satchwell and Chester
Lancaster OF Rathdrum. One
daughter, Grace, is dead. The
first three children were of his
first wife.
Mr.. Lancaster was we'll known
intIdaho, was a kind father and
loving husband, and was highly
respected by all who knew him.

dantlyy yielding aseowforseble in
cpme - &e psb dd Eeu an enrith-
iSg til world lssge.
ThSBs&le Us n Of god H.
thority that the newsfuling made
by the U. S. Indian commission,
which forbids any able-bodied In
dian to lease his land to a white
man has had very marked effect.
One grain agent in TekoaG states
that he will be ssshy.-this year the
product Of 400 acres which he has
bought for several seasons past.
and other grain buyers tell similar
stories, which bears out the con-
tention Of those who were respon-
sible Tor the ruling that there are
numerous Indians who are too in
dolent to work and who,. il they
cannot lease their land will let il
lie idle. se sA at
Not all Indians, however, are of
this class. The Blade enjoys a
personal acquaintance with many
who are thrifty and enterprising;
who engage in farming and con-
duct it with as much success as do
any Of their white brothers. This
class will lose nothing by the open
ing Of the land to homestead en-
tries. Their farms are already I'M
proved and their well built houses
and excellent stock will ever pro-
vide an income and a home 10
themselves and their children.
The instructions that have been
given to the government agents on
the reservations have been to ad-
wise the Indians to cultivate and
improve given tract and not to
spread out and try to "half work"
large tracts. Where this advise
has been followed and where the
Indians have applied themselves
with diligence comfortable homes
have been erected and steady in
come provided. Their children
have received good educations and
they have enjoyed all the pleasures
that come with modern civilization
This class can s'hold their own
with the white men. There is no
further need Of paternalism among
them. ..ss "a. .as ss,s
With the other class, the idle.
the indolent and the shiftless, the
government need not worry. Their
numbers are not large and they
would remain the same whether
the reservation was opened or not.
In fact, there are those who have
given close study to the problem
who declare that their semi. crimi-
nal propensities could be better
curbed by the local civil officers
thanis possible by the present
method, where they have a 'home'
and protection and where it is i'm
possible to instill into them that
feeling Of independent vigor which
can only come to some human be-
ings by necessity.
j. Il is to be hoped that, the COM
ing congress will not allow any
feelings Of false sentimentality to
interfere with what is their plain
duty both to the Indians and the
white homeseekefs Of the west.

Forests and Human Vitality.

One has but to look back through his
tory to see how closely related Is the
forest to human vitality. 1t was in the
forests of Taessaly that the early
Greeks received their energy that later
Powered into genius. 1t was the forest
jewellers Of Germany that conquered
decadent Rome and later gave to Spain
the vigor that swept back the Moor
and brought under her flag almost the
whole known world. But today what
is Greece, what is Italy, what is Spain?
They have been stripped of their for
ests, those nurseries of vigor, and their
decay has set in. Everywhere the law
holds good. It is in the forest that the
manhood is nourished which builds uo
great civilizations. But cities arise,
trees are swept away. and the irnvita-
BILE decline sets in Forests once dc
stroyed cannot return. and over all tie
sites of ancient civilization are blowing
the desert Sands.-Arthur Goodby In
New York Times.
