EXPENSIVE KISSES.
Two That Helped to Make Eight
eensh Cenfusy History.

In the year l704 the beautiful and
charming Duchess OF Gordon raised
that famous regiment of soldiers cali
ed the Gordon hishlsndersv by Civ.
Ing each recruit guinea in gold and a
kiss from her own lips. 1t is notorious
that the regiment was raised to a full
complement quicker than any other
regiment in the British service. But
the highlanders paid well for theiI
kiss. They were sent Immediately to
Fight the French, and in their first en-
gaSement 300 fell. killed and wounded.
In the year 1903 a stray kiss was the
means of bringing about a bloody and
expensive war. Prince Ferdinand of
Bavaria was journeying in neigbbor-
ing state. One day he visited s.the roy
al household" and while there his eye
caught sight of most beautiful maid

SHORT LINE EXTENSION.

J. R. Howell was doing business
in town Monday. He reports
that the surveyors who are run
ming the line for the proposed Mil
ner branch of the Oregon Short
Line are in the field. The line as
surveyed leaves the main line Just
east of Minidoka and crosses Snake
river at Howell's ferry. This is
one of the narrowest points on the
river, being only about 600 feet
from bank to bank, and depth of
not more than twenty feet at low
water From the ferry the line
continues down the river through
the lands to be watered by the
Minidoka canal and on toward
Miner.
If the branch line crosses at the
point at which the survey is made |
and is built down the river on the |
south side, the road will be within
eight miles OF Albion, for it is that
distance to the nearest point on
Snake river. But the probabilities
are that the line will swing out
frpm the river several miles, and
If this is done Albion will be
brought within less than an hours
drive OF the railroad.
1t seems very probable that the
branch road will cross the river as
high up as Howell's ferry at least,
for by so doing the line will cross
both the lands under the Minidoka
ranal and those under the Twin ,
Fails ditch.-Albion Times.

A BURNING CAR.

As engine No 755 pull freight
train into the yards from the east.
about eight o'clock Wednesday
morning, it attracted considerable
attention with its prolonged whist
ling. As the train came to stop
west of the cal sheds dense smoke
was seen escaping from one OF the
cars. The train was hurricdly cut
back of the burning car and run
down t. the water tank where the
train crew procured axe. and picks.
Hoes were quickly cut in the roof
of the car and 4 deluge of water
from the tank soon flooded the fire.
The car was No. 3S7 OF the
Pennsylvania Line and was loaded
with red mineral paint As tn
fire burned the keys burst open
and a bloody stream of red paint
and water spread out over the
track giving it the appearance of a
scene of terrible carnage The fire
was not cxtinguished until con
siderable damage had been done 10
the car and quite a quantity OF
paint had been lost upon the
ground. The smoke was st dis
covered by the crew as the train
pulled over The hill e,st OF town
and it is supposed the fire wa
by sparks from the engine.
1t was decidedly lucky that the
fire did not break out until the
train WAS 81 ne1r town, for had if
not been for the water tank the
,ar and its contents would have
)een total loss.

Thousands OF years ago a mineral
having the strange power of attracting
iron was found in the country ancient
ly called Magnesia. in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given us the
word magnet" This mineral. which
Is now called the lodestone mot load
stone). attracted the attention OF the
curious. and ii was discovered that n
piece OF iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power of attracting iron. In other
words. the piece of iron became a mag
net. 1t was afterwand found that such
an iron or artificial magnet could be
used like the lodestone itself TO convert
other pieces or iron into magnets by
rubbing Still more recently mode
OF making magnets by means of cleo
tricity was discovered-that is, by
wrapping a piece Of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing a current Of electricity TO pass
through the wire. The familiar small
Toy magnets are simply steel bars
which have been rubbed a few times |
against powerful magncts.-St Mich |
