Chess md u Battleship.

Admiral Charles E. Clark, who took
the battleship Oregon around Cape
Horn and into action at Santiago,
owed his appointment as commander
of that boat to his skill as a chess
player. Captain Clark was at San
Francisco in command of the gunboat
Bennington. When ashore he spent
much time in the chess room of the
Mechanics library, where he met some
Of the best players in the city. When
the time came to appoint a man to
command the Oregon, friend Of
Clarks in the navy department at
Washington put his name forward.
"You should see that man play chess"
said he and went on to describe his in
tense application and determination,
adding, "And that's why l think he
can bring the battleship around safely
if any one can" Three hours later
Clark received orders to assume COM
mand Of the Oregon and take her at
once to Cuban waters.-Argonaut.

The Point of the Cape of Good Hope.
Cape point, which terminates the
mighty headland known as the Cape
of Good Hope, consists Of towering
promontors. of sandstone, which rises
from the sea to an altitude of $40 feet.
At the base Of this stands a big soil
tary column which is known as Vasco
da Gama's pillar. The lighthouse
which here Eliminates the meeting
place Of tie Atlantic and Indian oceans
is one Of the most important and most
useful of its kind. 1t is visible from a
distance of thirty-six miles. The cliff
scenery is wild and sublime, the rocks
are magnificent, and the far reaching
sea, with the fierce surf beating on the
iron bound coast, is impressive. In the
water directly beneath the cliff sharks
are abundant A traveller describing
the scene says that on the occasion Of
his visit so numerous were the evil
looking monsters that the sight as he
descended the cliff was most unpleas-
ant slip and fall into the sea at
this point would mean that the unfor-
tunate would be torn instantly limb
from limb by the ravening brutes.

The Nimble PARAGRAPH.

1t is a most extraordinary thing that
some Of our most successful novelists
cannot turn out newspaper para
graph to save their lives. In most
novels there Is some page or other on
a supposititious clipping from news
paper bearing upon the events under
narration, and in ninety cases out of a
hundred the matter that makes up the
clipping is most unreal. The truth
Of the matter is that all the training in
the world will not enable a man to
write In this manner unless he has
been through the mill and had all the
nonsense deleted by the remorseless
subeditor Our novelists do not have
their manuscript hacked and chopped
about by this skillful executioner, and
their pseudo newspaper clippings are
models Of what the real thing is not

The Turnpike Era.

Between the years 1870 and 1910 in
Vulnerable plans were made for the
creation Of turnpikes in the United
States. There had been one great sue
cess, the Lancashire turnpike in Penn
sylvania, and then came countless 9TH
er projects. In 1911 New York had 1877
chartered roads, with total length Of
1850 miles, and the sum required to
build them amounted to $7,500,OO0 An
era of canal digging and then of rail-
road building followed this period, but
the canal promoters and railroad men
had great difficulty in advancing their
schemes. They were considered insane
when they insisted that the mountains
and plains could be conquered by these
means of transportation.

The United Scandinavian Societies
of New York and Brooklyn gave a de-
lightful concert last evening at Tamany
Hall, in New York. A very pleasant
feature of the concert was the appear
ance of new scandinavian violinist,
Emil Conrad Erikson, who, after having
made for himself a reputation in Europe
has come to the United States. He gave
number of solos, which included some
of Ole Bulls favorite pieces, and which
were given in such way that they won
for Mr.. Erikson great applause and the
heartiest commentator from his
auditors. He certainly handled his
violin in way that showed he was it's
master, and that he was capable of educ
ing from the instrument all its musical
possibilities.-Brooklyn Eagle.

combination for growing boys and

is peculiar in this-that no plug COOK
can successfully handle it. 1t takes

draw out its delightful gastronomic
possibilities. There are a hundred
WAYS to prepare the most dainty and
nutritious dishes from it. What Is
nicer than golden brown johnnyoake,

pudding stuffed full of fat raisins.
ipiun bread, rye and injun corn
fritters, corn pancakes, hulled corn,
ssmp and all the rest? The corn kids
always have red rosy cheeks, while
the corn fed maid always has the
choice of a half dozen beaus. The
country needs evangelists to travel up
and down and preach the gospel or
corn. it's scientific culture. its benefi-
cent and multifold uses. The corn
fed steer andssthe corn fed pig repre-
sent the very highest types in their
lines. and the corn fed man will beat
the steer or the hog. Talk corn, eat
corn. Get corn COOK book for your
wife. Rob the pigs and calves and
work more skim milk and corn into
the children. Use scorn this year to
save money. On this diet you will
not need patent medicine dope or an

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-08-09

Don't you realize how much
richer our life's experiences be-
come when we pass them on and
give them away. so that others
may enjoy with us the blessings
that we have ? How much sweet
er becomes the possession OF
wealth, if we regard it as a
stewardship and a trust How
sensible seems kindness and
goodwill towards our neighbors
when we realize that in a few
years the wealth we have, if we
hold it fast to ourselves, will lie
like a dead weight upon our
hands ! Let US hold our bless
ings fast to ourselves, and their
power to give us enduring life
in the hearts of others dies with
us. Let US fling out freely all
the blessings we have and Meth
er life nor death can rob us of a
home in the hearts of others.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-08-09

There is one thing lacking in
those who have vision-willing-
ness to welcome others into
knowledge of the visions that
enrich the heart and the life.
We can almost make other PEG,
pies lives richer by letting them
know how rich our own have be-
come, and where we discover
sympathetic companionship and
friendship, we should fling wide
the doors of our hearts, SO that
those who go along Efe's high
way without vision may turn
aside and see what they miss and
how perfectly life can be made.
The idea of shutting away from
the rest of the world the jewels
that we ourselves have found
and set within the temple of
aspiration, is a misuse of power
when the door of that temple is
kept closed. There is in Holy
Writ something about throwing
pearls before swine, and there is
truth and guidance in the idea.
There are those who would not
appreciate at all the condolences
of our hearts, just as there are
surely beggars who do not APP
preciate honest, wholesome
bread; but there are others,
weary in the way, dust-begrimed,
worn, saddened at life's disap-
pointments, acquainted only with
the dark side of clouds, to whom
our hearts and their aspirations
can come as a CLEAN of sunshine,
clarifying every further step, |
and we who hold vision are not
free from responsibility towards
these who need it and would be
glad to have it.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-08-09

the state is the subject of con-
graduation on the part of all
who see Idaho's building and ex-

every one of her citizens cannot

ally noting the states prestige

acknowledge his greatness, anc
honor his sincerity. There il
no half way-all, except a few
who have not investigated his
views on political affairs with ar
h nest purpose to arrive at good
conclusions and rules of govern
ment for all mankind bow to his
approval. It is truth demons
trated. Conviction follows his
arguments. Nothing but over.
selfishness calls men back 10
battle against his theories. They
were and are convinced. Men
who oppose him are sorry in
their inmost hearts that their in
terests bind them to different
course. Millionaires and the
wisest captains of their hosts ad-
nit that he is an intellectual
giant.
When the grasping power of
avrice has organized its hosts to
debase him, he rises in his mai
este strength and the quail be-
fore him and fall. He is right
and they know it. He is kind
and asks only that all manhood
receive the blessings of mercy.
He is honest and his opponents
are afraid to deny it.
When they attempt to nay it
only calls q laugh of derision
from all thinking men and wo-
men who know him. Although
not now in the front in promo
ton, he Is the idol of the nation
and the admitted greatest Ameri-
can. He has just met the com
bined forces who sought to crush
him and they are lying on the
battletield--not him. He is at
Lincoln, Nebraska, content with
doing right.
And although there was hire.
ling attempt at st. Louis to
slight him and lionize tho bond
seller, Cleveland, after they
thought they had earned their
reward and obeyed their direc-
tions 10 shout given by few
leaders, the hurrah for the sales
man was feeble indeed; while the
applause Of and for Bryan goes
ringing on through every vale
and over every mountain top in
our great land. And its echos
will go on--not only in his life
time, but down all the ages to
come. And yet, after this forced
effort TO minimize and slight the
efforts of the hero. his magnam-
ity dictates and guides him to go
forth and do battle for what he
believes to best for his country.
He is the lion, and minds not the
bark of the poodle at his heels.
II amuses them and hurts him
not. Amidst his enemies he Is
master; aud, by his friends. it is
next TO worship. His enemies
dare not 60 on without his aid.
Without him and his friends, no
democratic nomination can be
made. Without them. no victory
of that party could be won. Let
his forces be withheld from the
contest as were the treacherous
Sonrmonl and Grouch's from
Napoleon; as were the salesman's
from Bryan and it would be an
overwhelming Waterloo. But
there is no danger. He is too
great o man. Too noble a pat
riot. Instead Of skullling behind
2 pretended democratic organiza-
ton for the purpose Of getting
votes for the republican party,
as the traitors TO democracy did,
nc will go forth to victory with
every power ct his command, be-
lieving that, as far Us it goes
there IS good in the platform for
his country; as well to the poor
as the rich and that Parker is
honest and will carry it out.
That's Bryan.
