Something Saved, ANYWAY.

Senator Henry Heitfeld of Idaho
tells many good story of the DAYS
when he was a "cow puncher" on the
plains of Kansas. One day he met a
woman, who, in summing up her mis-
fortunes, said: Eyes, Mr.. Heitfeld. il
has been a black year with us. First
we lost our baby, and then Martha
died on us; then the old man himself
died, and then the cow died, too, poo,

Origin Of Common Vegetables.

The common cabbage is a native of
Europe, and grew originally among
the rocks by the seashore. To this
day it is found growing wild in such
localities in Denmark, on the south
coast of England, and on the north
coast of the Mediterranean. In all
probability it was cultivated very
anciently, and previously to that time
was gathered in the wild state. The
garden-cress, so popular as a salad,
was valued in early times for proper
ties of it's seeds. Apparently it was
native of Persia, whence it spread into
Europe, where doubtless it originated.

Assumed characteristics.

Assumed Characteristics.
In this game some well-known nov
elist is selected, Dickens, for instance,
and each player chooses one of his
characters to personate, telling no one
the choice.
Then one of the players relates the
life as though it were her own, and
portrays with voice and gesture the
character she has assumed. Of course
no names must be mentioned.
The person who first guesses what
character is personated has the privi-
lege of deciding who shall be the next
to tell her story.
The game of assumed characters"
will prove to be very entertaining if
each player does her part and makes
her narrative as amusing and interest
ing as possible.

WILL TUNNEL THE sIERRAs.
The Bonner Lake Tunnel is Almost
Assured

There are vague rumors, confirma-
ton of which cannot be secured from
the Southern Pacific engineering de-
partment in this city, but which have
been SO often repeated that there is
FEASIBILITY attached to them. The
rumors are to the effect that the rail-
road company has definitely determin-
ed to bore the Sierras and thus avoid
the heavy grades and snow sheds, as
well as decrease the distance over The
mountains a number of miles.
The projected tunnel will be nearly
five miles in length and viii start at
the upper end of Bonner Lake, emerg-
ing at what is known as Wolf or Bear
creek.

further disappointments, the band will

Training of the actor people is
under the direction of that veteran in
amateur theatricals, John p Meder,
and as he has never yet scored a fail
ure, it is net likely that he proposes
to begin at this late day. The proceeds
go FOR the support Of the band which
is endeavCring to exist without solicit
ing direct contributions from public
spirited citizens.
The curtain will rise on new and
handsome scene, with q real fountain
playing near the center Of the stage
and with numerous electric light ef-
fects. The old time and some what
tiresome circle Of hlack-face people
will be conspicuous by its absence.
Instead the scene will be that of q
jolly lawn party, and the only colored
gentlemen on the stage will be the
end men, who have private reasons OF
their own for wishing to appear dis
guised. A number Of ladies will be Oh
the stage and lend their sweet voices
to the chorus.

price Of admission.

ANTITRUST BILLS
DRAFTED BY KNOX
Two Administration Measures Intro
duced in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-TWo anti
trust bills prepared by ATTORNEY Cen
eral Knox were introduced in the
house today by Representative Jenko
ms, chairman of the Judiciary COM
mittee. These bills are said to renre-
sent the views of the administration
on the question, being along the lines
OF the suggestions contained in Mr..
knox letter to Senator Hoar and Mr.,
Littlefeld.
One of the bills amends the Sher-
man antitrust low to strengthen and
perfect 1T, the chief features being q
provision that it shall be unlawful for
any person to offer, grant, or give. or
solicit, accept, or receive any rebate
concession or service in respect to the
transportation of any property in in
terState or foreign commerce where
Dy such property is transported at a.
less rate than that named in the pub
nshed tariff Of the carrier a fine of
$4,000 being provided; and that the
3 circuit courts of the United States are
invested with jurisdiction to prevent
-and restrain such rebates
. The second bill provides for the an
pointment of a commission to carry out
the provisions of the Sherman act. as
1t is proposed to have it amended. The
commission is to have secretary and
neither the secretary nor the commits
sloners are to engage in any corporate
business while holding office. The bill
confers upon the commissioners pow
ers somewhat similar to though much
stronger than those possessed by the
interstate commerce commission.

South African constabulary.
Gems. Botha, Dewet and Delarey
strongly urged the necessity for a
moderate attitude and organization to
assist the present government. Gen.
Botha reported that S525,0O0 had been
collected in America and Europe for
the relief of destitute Beers.
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to the ad-
dress of the burghers, said the terms
already granted were decidedly gener-
Gus and there was no prospect of a
general amnesty. He declared the
government purposed abiding by the
terms of the Vereeniging agreement
with which the Boer leaders at the
time of surrender had complied. The
cases of the burghers now. in Europe
would be considered individually on
their merits, and these burghers should
prove their loyalty by accounting for
the gold taken to Europe. The annex
alton of the Vryheid and Utrecht dis
tr1cts to Natal was irrevocable and the
natives would be compelled to observe
their obligations. The SECRETARY de-
clared he would have been better
pleased had the address of the burgh-
ers, instead of consisting merely of de-
mands, contained some recognition of
what his majesty's government had al
ready done for them. ~

More Churches Than ministers,

So great is the pressure Tor puIpits
when desirable ones fall vacant that
most people imagine there are more
ministers than churches. The. facts are
directly the opposite. Hardly a relig-
ious body in America but has more
churches than ordained men, and this
in spite of the fact that the multiplica-
ton of the pastorate steadily in
creases. One church in New York has
eighteen ordained men and women in
its service, the highest number of any
one church in America. Baptists have
95,564 ministers, Catholics 12,779, Con-
gregauonalists 1855, Disciples of
Christ 10,957 ,Lutherans 11,785, Meth
odists 1920, Presbyterians 12,207,
Episcopal SOIL, the Reformed L ,9O6, the
Salvation army 2,510 and United
Brethren 2,348. The number of min
listers, all bodies, is 147,113, and it is
not rapidly increasing.
On the other hand. the number of
churches rapidly increases, and so does
the proportionate cost, There are 1884,
116 churches in the whole United
States, and the estimated cost to main
tain them, with betterments each year,
is $3.50, 000,0 900. Methedists have S.
7S7, the highest number. Baptists ST.
142, and Friends of the Temple, Sven
kedelphians and the Society for Ethical
Culture four each.
