called for the outlet of the sewer to
be made in Snake river pur after care
ful consideration the council decided
to change this to allow rne outlet to
be made in the Clearwater river.
The estimated cost of the change
is placed at s4,155, which is slightly in
excess of the cost Of laying the outlet
to Snake river which would necessarily
have to be brought across the island
and under the bridge.
In view of the fact that high water
would interfere with repairs on the
pipe should anything go wrong at that
time, on the Snake river outlet, the
council have definitely decided to bring
the outlet from the sewer system along
the Snake river grade to the Clear
water river.
Naylor & Norlin VIII be allowed to
make the bid on the new outlet work
and if not satisfactory the city council
will call for special bids on this work

that the disintegration of the reform

Rowdy COLLEGE students.

Students at the University Of Mel
bourne have always held the record
for rowdyism on the southern side OF
the equator, but they surpassed all
their previous performances at a late
conferment of degrees. They took
possession of the dais and reveied in
a cake-walk. They fixed an alarm
clock under the chancellOrs chair and
it went of in the middle Of the speech
of the governor Of the state. A young
woman and a young man came up to-
gether to receive the degree Of bache-
lor of science and were saluted with
such embarrassing cries as Produce

wedding march being whistled in
chorus as they retired. A young lady
barrister was presented for the degree
Of LII. B. and had to listen to such
compliments as What pretty bar

American Aristocracy.

The queerest one is pride Of birth.
Among our fierce democracy
A bridge across a hundred years.
Without a prop to save 1t from sneers.
Not even a couple of rotten peers
A thing for laughter, heers and jeers.
Is American aristocracy!
English and Irish, French and Spanish.
Germans, Italians, Dutch and Danish.
Crossing their veins until they vanish
In one conglomeration!
So subtle tangle Of blood, indeed
No Heraldry Harvey will ever succeed
In finding the circulation.
Depend upon 1t. my snobbish friend.
Your family thread you can't ascend.
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find II waxed. at the farther end

Or. worse than that, your boosted line
May end In a loop of stronger Irvine.

"We guarantee 1t to sprout hair on

Poor old JIM"

FOOT Olu Jill!
Man after man in the ranks of the
three cavalry companies at Fort Con-
chu used the words as he glanced to-
ward a trooper sitting alone on the
sunny side of the mcss-house, gazing
away over the undulating country to-
ward the Pecos Hills. Private James
Bligh-always called Jim except on
the muster-rolls-had served Uncle
Sam for forty long years. No other
man could show such a record. He
had enlisted at tho age of %, and
his service had continued without q
break.
Forty years, most of that time spent
in the frontier forts, had brought
stirring adventures and honorable
scars to the cavalry-man. He had little
to say of himself, but the written rec
0rds of his reg ment had done him full
justice.
But the day had come at last when
It was Poor old JIM" Private
Bligh had become an old man. He
had not noticed this comrades had
not seen the signs-his officers had
not whispered 1t to each other. 1t
was only when a new colonel came to
! the post and set about sprucing up the
regiment that the word went round
Jim was to be retired as too old for
active service. In such cases the
government provides monthly
stipend-about enough to pay for ones
bread and butter-but 1t was felt by
all the men that 1t was like turning
q faithful old horse out to become the
I victim Of wolves. There was an ex-
aiming board, with report from the
regimental surgeon, and 1t was settled
that Jim should be mustered out Of
service.
1T may be that have become an
old man." he said to Sergt. Dalton. as
the latter tried to cheer him up, "but

but they won't let me-"
The papers had gone to Washington
for final action, and while Private
Bligh waited for his discharge he was
excused from duty. 1t thus came

Pecos Hills one day by himself in
search of mineral specimens for the

Indians at moments notice-and he

rode straight away for ten miles, and
they passed the soldier without seeing
him, although he saw them as he
prospected among the rocks. He had
secured half dozen specimens when
he gave up the work and sat down

came into his eyes the CLEAN of battle

There was a hot gallop for a mile,
and then Private Jim found the officer
and the girl crouched behind a mass
Of rock and war party Of fifty Utes
preparing to rush them. Both horses
had been shot down and the officer
wounded in the first volley, and the
trooper had only come up when the
lieutenant was hit again and fell in
heap.

Jim as he bent toward the white faced
girl who huddied agains. the rocks.
THE lieutenant is dead, and it's one
chance in a thousand that we get out
of this. Give me your hand"
He lifted her up and swung her on
to the saddle in front of him, and the
bullets were cutting the air all about
them as they dashed away. In two
minutes they were out of range, but
another peril confronted them. A
dozen Utes had mounted and taken
short cut, and Private Jim looked.

the stage road running between high
banks.

The Indian ponies were massed, and
the Indians were firing at the horse

missed and he struck the lighter
horses to whirl them around or send
them rolling. 1t was a smash-crash

were through. A vollcy followed them

Private Jim reeled in the saddle and
groaned. A minute later he said:

BABY WEATHER.
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
DAYS.

Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother Of baby is
always anxious for the health OF her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The phys
ician said his digestion was very bad
and that If it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fleshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life. for he
was very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
1--WE grown-ups in our family all use
Grape-Nuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that we never
any of us have any coffee ills, but are
well and strong" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason Grapefruit food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults is
because the starch Of the grain is pre-
digested and does not tax the bowels,
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starchy food.
