His Other Self.

ls there me that | don't know?-
A mystic, weird and sly young elf
Who loves an nntic trick to show
When IL concerns none but myself
Who turns aside each wcll-laid plan
And makes II subject to mischance?-
i think there isi-an inner mani
And when he plays the pipes l dance!
He has a gentle humor born
OF knowledge. heaven knows how. ac-
quired.
He laughs my little whims TO scorn.
f3ehold My vanities he's fired!
/ am puppet in his hands.
l sue for peace or. break a lance.
Aye, all my heart he understands,
And when he plays the pipes dance.
l fret my soul DER little things.
| make mistakes and feel alright
My hidden soul then pulls the strings
Behold, The wrong is turned to rightl
He demonstrates that two and two
Are Ave! l see 1t at a glancei
He plays me false l know he's true.
And when he plays the pipes l dance.
Tho thought Will worry me O. nights
He r;ays sad tricks with easy rhymes.
1t is his greatest Of delights.
And then 1t haps that wrong was right
The thought expressive. though BY
chance.
He proves his case In fashion trite.
And when he plays the pipes dance.
Enough to let me see the elf
And so 1t haps I've never seen
My freakish, antic other self.
So all alone he plays his part.
His stage the whole wide worlds ex'
panse
He rules my head. he owns my heart.
And when he plays the pipes dancei

Blood Eeuds in AfahanIstan.

In Afghanistan the people are good
haters. The blood feud exists in all
Afghan tribes. When murder oc-
ours the avenger does not limit his
reprisai to the murderer, but kills
any relative that comes handy. This.
in turn, calls for a counter attack.
and in time matters become so COM
plicated that whole families are wiped
out When the tribe is called upon
to meet common enemy the heads
of the families who have had a quar-
rel bury two stones side by side In
the presence of the mullah. as sym
bolical of the feud being put out of
sight during the public danger. When
affairs revert to their normal state
the stones are solemnly disinterred
and the two parties are free to go
on shooting at each other again.

For reohnIeaI Educatlon.

Another step in the direction of
technical education has been made in
the city of Dresden In the establish
ment of a school for locomotive
driver apprentices. The initiative was
taken by the Locomotive Drivers As.
sociation of Saxony. which succeeded
in interesting the members of the
Dresden city council in the scheme,
as well as the directors OF the tech.
nical school and the administration OF
the Royal State railroads. The school
is for apprentices between twenty five
and thirty years of age who are en-
ployed in the Dresden car shops.
Among the subjects taught are Ger.
man. arithmetic. graphics and the
mechanism of locomotives.

With all the luxurles and pleasures
of this life. its big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts. there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifiing as
some of them may be. the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
stant torture. There is nothing. there
fore. of this kind that we have a
right to trifie with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use Of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with
out bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene-
tration in st. Jacobs Oil that carries
1t right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of Rheumatism. Neuralgia, Lum-
bago, Sciatica. You want 1t also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds. and the house that al
ways has II keeps up sort of insur-
ance against pain.

Said by a Wise Man.

when thou wishest to delight thy.
self, think of the virtues of those
who live with thee; for instance. the
activity of one. and the modesty of
another. and the liberality of third.
and some other good quality of a
fourth. For nothing delights so much
as the examples of the virtues when
they are exhibited in the morals of
those who live with us and present
themselves in abundance as far as is
possible. Wherefore we must keep
them before us."-Marcus Aurelins.

while the Chinaman carried her card

This was repeated several times.
until the ladies' were quite satisfied
that Wing was perfect in his role.
That evening at $3.50 the bell rang.
Wing shuffled majestically to the door
while mother and daughter stood
breathless at the top OF the stairs TO
watch developments.
They heard a gentlemans voice ask
II the ladies' we're at home. They saw
Wing present his tray and receive a
card. and then they saw him draw a
card from his sleeve.

One of the noted medical authori-

and does not hesitate to use that in
firmity to impress on his patients
when giving them advice. He is es-

the badness microbe.
II am the strongest example of
that" he says. II might have had all
my hair to-day II a bald headed man
had not gone on from dinner party

home. That was long enough for me
to acquire the microbe of badness
in such numbers that by the end of
a year hadn't hair on the top OF
my head. Bald headed men are dan
gerous to that extent, and their hats
should be avoided. New York Sun.

DRAINAGE is THE THING.
Will Reclaim Alkali Land Government
Experiments Highly Successful.

7. II. Means, the government expert
who started last year to reclaim the
Peter Gervais place from alkali by drain
age, was here last week on his way to
California, having left the agricultural
department, but the work will be con-
tinued in this valley this year by l.. G.
Holmes of that branch of the govern
ment. Mr.. Means said that the exper-
iment3 ION the Cervais place were high
ly successful, and that next year the
land, which was practically worthless
when the drainage system was started,
will grow good crop OF alfalfa. Mr..
Means also oppressed the opinion that
the drainage and sewerage system pro-
posed for this city would carry off all
all the surplus water and relieve the
sub-irrigated condition of the soil. Ex-
periments in the way of retaining al
kali land will be continued by the gov
eminent in this valley until it is demon
strated just what proper drainage will
accomplish.

PUT HIM IN JAIL.
Capt. rlartineau Held on Charge of TAX
ing Whisky on Reservation.

Capt. NJ. Martineau, the Yukon pilot,
who lives down on the Yakima reserva-
ton, is in Jail on the charge of having
whisky on the reservation. Attorney
II. J. Snively has gone to Seattle to sue
out writ of habeus corpus for his re-
lease, alleging that his client had right
to drive along public highway with
whisky, even though it is on an Indian
reservation. Capt. Martineau, it seems,
had liquor in his, possession while driving
on the road from Zillah to his claim,
but it was for his private use and there
is no charge that he attempted to dis
pose of it to the Indians. Commissioner
Hewlett, however, was obliged to bind
him over in $500 bonds, which were not
furnished and the defendant went to Jail.
Mr.. Snively will make test case to en-
deavor to establish that person has a
right to travel public highway with
liquor in his possession, and is now in
Seattle to bring the matter up before
Judge Hanford in the federal court.
