DR.. Mays stated that he had ap-
preached most Of the physicians of the
city. many Of whom had signified their
willingness to give their services at
the dispensary gratis. As he had not
heard yet from several physicians he
could not report fully on the matter.
DR.. Mays expected that the subscrip-
ton list for the aid of the dispensary
would meet with ready response.
DR.. Mays would at the next meeting
furnish an estimate of the cost OF q
dispensary.
DR.. Cooper asked how much the dis.
pensary bill had, averaged
Secretary Charlock said that 1t had
been about $50 per month. This was
when drugs for kindergartens were
charged to the dispensary.
DIR. Cooper stated that this should be
cut out. In that case he thought that
$15 per month would be necessary.

MINERAL FOUND IN A
NEW DISTRICT IN IDAHO

Prospectors who have gone mp the

interesting discoveries at points along
the way. AS they could not get into

snow, they have put In the time

snow had gone, and some have found
promising property.
One mau said yesterday he had
heard from u prospector whom he
staked, to the effect that he had fine
ledge some miles below the Black
Warrior. The msu wrote he had
never seen such float rs he met with
in his prospecting, aud he thought he

1t seems altogether likely that
many discoveries will be made
in that section of the state.
For years il has received no atten-

in Black Warrior will attrat u host
of prospectors this year. These will
spread all over that section. aud they
will undoubtedly find many great
ledges that have heretofore escaped
attention. Boise Statesman.

The handles of his plow
His trousers hang I'm baggy folds,
And burrows mark his brow;
But with the hope that toiling brings

Where Natures putting on the things
That help To make her fair.
The plowmans shoulders droop his eyes
Have no exultant fire.
And oft he straightens up and signs,
Perhaps for something higher.

And then goes plodding on,
And now and then bumps into roots

The plowman does not fret because
Some stock has had slump:
But, gripping hard, he sets his jaws
And runs against stump
Or worries till the rein is free
From meath the gray mares tail
Or turns n little while to see
The chlpmunk on the rail-.
The smell Of burning wood floats by
Upon the tranquil air;
The crow sits with a watchful eye.
O'erlooking things out there.

To feed his fellow man.

Is that which comes to sit
Within his breast when sunset shows

A ROLL OF BUTTER.
Why It Was Exchanged and What Be-.
came of II.

came of IT,
The little town of Mercer boasts
a greengrocer with all the wisdom
Of Solomon, reports the Philadel-
phia Ledger. The other day coun-
try woman, famous the country over
for the quality of her butter, called
on this old Silas Treeves with the
odd request that he take a five
pound roll of her making, giving
her in place of cash an equal amount
of butter from his own stock.
Knowing, as he did, that her butter
was better than any he had ever
handled and knowing, too, that she
knew that it was, the old fellow be-
came somewhat suspicious and ques-
toned the woman's motive.
DWELL, you see," she said finally,
"when | come to do the churnin'
this week | found a mouse drowned
in the cream, and somehow our
folks feel kind O offish about eatin'
this here butter"
"And do you expect me to sell
that kind of butter to my custom
ers?"
"Now, look here, Silas Treeves,"
said the old woman, "my buffers
better'n any your customers ever
gets, and as for the mouse-well,
what they don't know won't hurt
them"
The old man took the butter and
weighed it, went to his cellar and
after a little while returned with a
roll of a somewhat different shape,
but very much the same general APP
pearance, and, this being satisfac-
tory to his customer, she took it and
went out.
About a week later the country
woman happened in again.
"How'd you like the BUTTER" ask
ed the old philosopher.
'First rate" replied the woman.
"Folks eat it,"
"Yep."
"Well, maybe you was right, after
all, about what people don't know
not hurtin' 'em. You ct the butter
with the mouse in it, after all. 1

FIERCE ALPINE EAGLES.

They Are Ferocious In Their Attacks
on Wayfarers.
The Maritime Alps of eastern
France have been noted as being the
haunt of the most ferocious and
powerful breed of eagles in exist
ence.
Children innumerable have been
carried off by them, and they even
attack adults on occasions, some
times with dire results.
"A postman named Gustave Silva,
who carried the mails on foot be-
tween the villages Of Sospello and
Puget Theniers, was set upon while
crossing the pass by three large
birds and frightfully injured.
He'managed to drive off his wing
ed assailants with the aid of his
alpenstock and eventually reached
his destination with his bag of let
tiers. But his case was from the
first regarded as hopeless by the
local doctors, and after lingering in
indescribable agony for six days he
succumbed to his wounds.
Meanwhile two young French
tourists, Messrs. Joseph Monand
and Antoine Ncyssel, went up into
the mountains to try to kill the
birds that had done the damage
and were savagely attacked in their
turn Both men were armed, but
the sudden onslaught of the huge
winged creatures completely UNI
nerved them, and after firing only
one shot they tried to escape by
running.
The birds, however, struck them
down ere they had gone many yards,
and they would have doubtless been
both torn to pieces where they lay
but for the opportune arrival OF a
party of shepherds.
These succeeded in rescuing Mr..
Neyssel alive, but terribly injured.
he having sustained no fewer than
ten severe wounds in the head and
back, besides innumerable minor
decorations and abrasions.
His companion, Mr.. Monand, was
killed outright early in the fray.
Mr.. Neyssel recovered after six
weeks in bed, but is disfgured for
life.-Stray Stories.
