hIarshaIT's Loose wheel.

Once when Chief Justice John Mar
shall was driving in Virginia he found
that the tire on one of his wheels
was loose and kept slipping off. He
didn't know a great deal about com
mon affairs, for he had not lived
much with the common affairs of life,
but he did know that water would
tighten a tire on a wheel. So he
came to little branch and drove into
it and got one little section of the
wheel wet, then drove out and backed
his horse, and the same part of the
wheel went into the water again, and
he pulled back and kept see-sawing
backward and forward, all the time
getting the same part of the wheel
wet, says the Argonaut.
While the judge was bothering him
self about how to get the wheel wet
a negro came along, and, seeing the
situa ton, told him to back into the
water again. He did so and the negro
took hold of the spokes of the wheel,
and, turning it around, directly had it
wet all around. Judge Marshall said:
"Well, 1 never thought of that"
The darl1ey replied: well, some
men just nat1y have more sense than
others, anyhow"

IN this house, once as hired enter

gested that the things to eat were

revelation there were indignant
looks, but the teachers inviolable

to the rescue, and the holder of the
telltale wafer lifted it up and pro

Chinook Wind. Prevent Floods.

Investigations of the weather bu-
reau indicate that the warm westerly
chinook winds. blowing over the east
ern faces of the Rocky mountains,
have a beneficent effect in the preven-
tion of disastrous flood-producing
thaws. 1t is true THAT the chinook sud-
denly meits the snow on the higher
parts of the mountains, but the warm
wind fails to reach tie bottom of the
gulches, and so the snow-water is
frozen again during it's descent, and
becomes caked in ice deep down the
rayines.

Several years ago DIR. e. C. EngeI
went to Hewins, opened drug store
and commenced the practice of medi-
cine. He prospered exceedingly and
got together a lot OF property. Last
week a suit was commenced against
him in the district court. The plain
tiff is woman who sets up that the
doctors right name is Peyatt, not
Enger. Her home is in Illinois, and
she declares herself the divorced wife
of the doctor. She was awarded ali
mony to the amount OF $500 a year,
which has not been paid for several
years, and the suit is to collect this
money. In the meantime, the doctor
had left the country with a woman
whom he had introduced as his wife,
and it is found that the property had
been turned into cash.

Is q aIiIler., Tru.t,

Complaint has been made that the
millers of Kansas are forming q trust
of the old-fashioned kind; trust
where different concerns engaged in
the same class of business form a
pool on prices instead Of merging into
one big corporation. It is claimed
the object of the millers' trust is to
control the price to be paid for grain
and the price to be demanded for
flour and other finished products.
The grain dealers already have trust
to beat down the price of grain with
the farmers. The millers will not only
try to beat down the price with the
farmers, but also with the grain
trust, from whom the millers buy
much grain.
