Fake, but No Joke

Some one in the spirit Of fun one
day last week fixed up a fake dispatch
on a regulation blank, and stuck it up
in the postoiiice. 1t stated that Rus
sia had declared war against the
United States, and it was not long be.
fore its contents were generally known.
Excitement soon ran rampant, and a
volunteer company was soon organized
to go to the front. Old Veterans who
had fought in the civil war had their
old time spirit aroused, aud were
ready and willing 10 forget their old
age and be boys again. But their ar
dor and high hopes were soon dashed
to pieces when operator Burke ap-
pearad on the scene and said it was a
fake, but no joke --Lakeyiew Exam.

DAVENPORT CARTOONlST
Will Talk and Draw Pictures In
Grants Pass April 5th.

Mr.. Homer Davenport, whose fame
is world wide, is announced for Il
lecture in this city on April 8. In
comparatively few years he has come
to be recognized as tho most original
and forceful cartoonist in American
journalism, and so great is the popu-
larity of his work that his original
drawing are eagerly sought for by all
sorts and conditions of people. At
the height of tho adverse criticism on
the candidacy of Admiral Dewey for
president, Davenport drew picture
of the gallant old admiral standing
on tho bridge OF the Olympia, and
with tho smoke Of the battle of
Manila Bay flying thick about him.
Beneath 1t were the words; Lest
We Forget" /" The effect of tho car
toon was instantaneous. 1t brought
Dewey letters from hundreds of ad-
mirers all over the country, and SO
great was tho attention 1t attracted,
that its author was requested to send
1t to Washington to be placed on ex-
hibition. The request was complied
with and the picture drew such a
crowd, that the police finally ordered
IL taken from tho window in which
1t was displayed John Il. Mclean,
brother in law Of Admiral Dewey, af-
terwArd offered for it price that sur
prised Davenport into agreeing to part
with it although 1t had been. his in.
teption TO keep it in his collection.
Other cartoons have brought him no
less renown, and even the public men
whom he has most often impaled Oh
the point Of his keen pen have sought
for his pictures to keep as mementoes
Of the campaigns they have gone
through.
Davenport will bo at the Grants
Pass opera house on Tuesday, April 8.
under the auspices Of the Womans
Club. He will talk on tho "yalue Of
a Cartoon" aud illustrate his talk by
drawing cartoons ON the stage before
the audience. The pictures will be
distributed to those in the audience.

Mary's Little Lamb.

Mary had docile Lamb,
His hair was white as tow,
And everywhere that Mary went.
The Lamb was sure to go.
They went out for spin one day.
But he couldn't keep up quite,
For Mary rode Racycle,
And soon was out Of sight.
The Lamb soon saw he was left out,
But still ho fingered near,
And on the grass he stretched
himself,
Till Mary should appear.
A group Of young folks wandered
by,
And though twas against all
rule,
They giggled quito ridiculously.
And called the Lamb fool.
"Why don't you catch your girl?"
they cried,
Then laughed in highest glee,
% III you had had Racycle,
You wouldn't be here, you see. "
"How can I win your lost es-
temp
The Lamb with Mary plead.
Just buy me a nice new Racycle,
This rented Is. she said.
What makes the Lamb love
Mary so?"
The eager young folks cried,
Because she wants the best
you know,
A passer by replied.
Moral-You can be sure OF having
10 best and also of pleasing the
only girl in tho world" by buying

HE WANTED TO GO QUICK
7. E Nelson Blows Himself to
Fragments With Dynamite.

News reached here Monday that I.
E. Nelson's "a Swede living on his little
ranch near two miles south of Kerby,
committed suicide byblowing himself
up with dynamite last Wednesday.
The fact of the suicide was not known
until the remains were discovered
Sunday afternoon by search party.
Nelson's brother, who had been living
with him for the past year or more,
and is about 50 years Of age and
quite feeble, notified friends that Mel.
SON had not been home since Wednes-
day, and search was instituted. Frag-
inents of human flesh were discovered
in the brush quite a distance from the
house and at point which showed
the effect of an explosion. Search in
the house revealed tablet ON which
was written the following note;
Cannot do work enough to make a
living. Ny heart refuses to act.
Cannot bear the idea of becoming a
burden to anybody. When ! go l
want to go quick and want to go off
as fine as the vapor emanating from a
crematory. Will fnd-my grave at the
foot of "a fir tree ON the northeast cor,
ner of my 40-acre lot. Wish you all
well and that you may live all long,
prosperous and happy life. Yours in
a happy mood. t. E.tNELSoN. I"
"P. S.-You may notice a jar. That
jaT docs take place at the moment of
my funeral. "
p. S.-Later-For fear that said jar
may exceed my expectation in force,
l have concluded to go farther to the
west than aforesaid place as far as to
a sugar pine tree top where shingles
and clap boards has been made. Fare
ye.well. "
That the note was not discovered
sooner is probably due to the fact that
the brother could not read English. -
Nelson went to Kerby Wednesday
morning At one of the stores he
asked for a stick of giant powder.
The clerk explained that they sold
in enpound boxes only. This was
more than Nelson wanted, but he
finally bought and paid for the ten
pounds. 1t was evident that the Sec
ond postscript was written alter his
return with the dynamite. -.
The explosion was heard at Kerby,
two miles distant, but nothing was
thought of it at the time, as blasts are
fired in the mines frequently. 1t is
supposed from the location OF the frag-
meuts of flesh that he lighted the fuse
and deliberately sat on the charge.
The body vas literally blown to pieces
aud small bits Of flesh and clothing
were strewn on the ground and on the
bushes for a considerable distance.
The top of the head was the only
piece Of the body that was not in
small bits.
Nelson was "A years of age and came
to Kerby in the ear, ~ COS and engaged
in mining for many years. A number
OF years ago he took upa piece of land
on Which to spend the remainder of
his days. He was we'll liked by all
who knew him.

ribbon, thin-walled tube, or cable than
when II is in the form of a solid rod.
8. II the path along the rod to
ground is roundabout, then the more
direct through the protected CD struc-
ture is apt to be chosen by the cleo
TRIAL discharge notwithstanding the
pour electrical conductivity of this di-
rect path, and in spite of any or
binary degree of insulation of the rod.
4. The arrangement shown in the
accompanying sketch affords very di-
rect communication to earth from the
regions PIP PIP, which regions there
fore are to be considered as we'll pro-
tected.
On the other hand the ground COM
munication from the region id is un-
necessarily roundabout and this region
dd is therefore unnecessarily exposed
to danger. Given a good ground con-
nection, then directness of path to
ground from the region which is to be
protected is so important that the mat
ter of insulating the rod from the
building either by air spaces or by
glass is of no importance whatever in
comparison. If the path is direct
there is no need of insulation and if
the path is roundabout effective insu-
lation is not practically feasible.-W.

Soil for Growing Apples.

A good fertile soil, porous, loamy,
with plenty of humus, potash and
lime, so as to give fair to good crops
of grain or grass, is the most to be
desired, while the nearest approach to
these requirements would be my next
choice-a soil that dries out quickly, so
that it can be plowed soon after rain,
one that workseasily SO as to get the
best results with the least labor; a soil
that will give good crop Of corn while
we are growing the trees, a soil that will
not bake too easily, is the one that is
always desirable. Now comes a rocky
or gravelly soil, whichis nearly always
good, the only drawback being that it
takes more work to get results. These
soils are found in abundance in all our
mountain districts, and nearly always
they are good fruit soils.-L. A. Good

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or 4
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevita BILE catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
