DOCTOR THOUGHT
IT WAS POISON

A leaking gas hose to mantel
lamp in the Chemical block has caus-
ed more trouble to a certain Division
street merchant who resides there
in the past few days than. suburb
ante has with his cook. For three
nights violent headaches and sickness
could not be accounted for by the
family. Gas men were called in to
examine the pipes and they pronounc-
ed them all right. No odor was no.
ticed until the family were awaken
ed one morning about o'clock. At
this time it was found necessary to
call physician. He pronounced the
disease as eminating from poison.
The family knew they had not taken
poison and told the doctor so. The
trouble grew worse. Yesterday an
employee of Dorr- Mitchell was sum-
moned and found leak in the gas
hose larger than pinhead. The fam
lily were convinced they had had a
narrow escape from asphyxiation.

5[[k ADMISSION
To IDAHO DAD

The shekels are rolling into the
Idaho state treasury and out of the
pockets of Spokane attorneys. Several
of them in the past day or two have
applied to the Idaho supreme court for
admission to the bar.
with dignifed haste" as a local
legal light expressed it, eve are get
ting in line with the Idaho statutes
on admissions to the bar in that state"
This haste has been occasioned by
reports brought from Rathdrum by
attorneys who have been before Judge
Morgan there during the past two
days. that the judge has announced in
open court that he will follow the
suggestion of the bar association Of
Kootenai county, Idaho, and refuse to
permit attorneys from other states to
practice before him unless they have
been regularly admitted in Idaho.
1t requires $25 and residence in Idaho
to gain admission to the bar in that
state. IL remains to be seen whether
the authorities at Boise will continue
to waive the citizenship qualification
as in the past. II not, the matter will
probably reach the supreme court of
that state. ., -.

A BOTTLE Of TROUBLE

Horace had been too shocked and
humanity. coupled with disgust for
the Jinnee's high-handed methods,
compelled him to interfere. 'Mr
Fakrash," he said. this has gone far
enough. Unless you stop tormenting
this unfortunate gentleman, I've done
with you"
Never" said Fakrash. 'He hath
dared to abuse my palace. which is
far too sumptuous a dwelling for
such a son Of burned dog as he.
Therefore 1 will make his abode to

But I don't find fault" yelped poor
Mr. Wackerbath. "You-you entirely

to the Jinnee, "or 1 swear I'll never

to imply the contrary. Gen
tlemen, good afternoon"
He bowed himself past the Jinnee
in a state of Difference and apprehen-
sion, and was heard stumbling down
the staircase. Horace hardly dared
to meet Beevor's eyes, which were
fixed upon the green-turbaned jim
| nee, as he stood apart in dreamy alb
straction, smiling placidly to HIM
self.
II say" Beevor said to Horace al
last, in an undertone. you never told

pered Ventimore "He does things
for me occasionally; that's ALL"
He soon managed to smooth your
client down." remarked Beevor.

persuasive manner. Would you like
