Ever since landing in London the
colonel had been telling a fish story. 1t
was the same old story over and over,
and he told it from five to twenty times
day, according to circumS tances. He
told it to men of all nationalities. 1t
made no difference whether his listener
could speak English or not. He told it
in hotel reading rooms-at the table
on the tratn-on the boat-on the veran-
da He told it amidst the ruins of
Rome and among the catacombs or
Paris, and his reputation preceded him.
Everybody thought him a liar, and
it was singular that the European pub
lie stood it so long. but it was only af-
ter he reached Interlaken and repeated
his story for the twentieth time in two
days that an Englishman who had
bumped up against him at several re-
sorts made up his mind that the thing
had gone far enough.
He took half dozen other tourists
into his confidence. and as result a
certain Frenchman who was stopping
at another resort was sent for. The
news went around that Monsieur
! d Arta gen, the famous duellist, was to
arrive He had killed seven different
men on the field of honor. He was a
man who hated liar, and never hesita-
ted to interrupt a man telling tall
story Care was taken that Colonel
! Perkins should be thoroughly informed,
| and as gently as possible he was advis-

duellist's stay. His answer was:
That story ought to interest him, but
/ if he don't want to hear it he needn't.
I'm not forcing it on anybody"
D'Artagen arrived on certain even
| ing. and had been previously coached
as to the part he was to play. Colonel
| Perkins was introduced to him as soon
as possible. and he spent about two
minutes sizing the duellist up. Then he
| observed:

fish you'll be disappointed. You can't
get a bite once a week If you want

4 TRUANT Ord
NANCE NEEDED
Council Will Probably Take
Up the Matter.
The necessity of q truant ordinance

The necessity of truant ordinance
to prevent pupils of the schools
from participating in the fascinat-
ing exercise of 'playing hockey
is becoming evident. ~
There are many children in this
city whose parents think they are
attending school, when as matter
of fact they are doing nothing of the
kind, but are spending, their time
away from the school room at some
point where they believe they are
safe from being observed. 4a.
In order to break up this practice,
the city council will probably, at
some meeting in the near future take
up this matter and pass an ordinance
restricting it, and providing an ade--
quate punishment for the offenders.
In many cities there is a truant
law, and some person appointed to
arrest the offenders, and such a Law
will probably be put in force in
Weiser.

For many years the people OF
this county have known that there
was an almost unlimited amount OF
power going to vase at what Is
generally known as the jug, few
miles east of Middlebourne. The
distance between the two portions
of the creek there Is only a few
feet, while the tall is suffi cient TO
furnish an aim ost unlimited am ount
of power. Several times, mills
have been erected at this point, but
the venture was always disastrous.
The lack of capital prevented the
construction of such buildings aud
the furnishing of such machinery
as would withstand the ireShet that
occasionally plays havoc along
the line of Middle Island, but which
would be absolutely powerless were
the buildings sufficiently substan
tial and properly designed
