The eminent statesman wrote a con-
fidential letter to a constituent.
He read it carefully through.
Then he added
''P. S.-Burn this"
Then he held the letter up and
looked at the postscript.

And he burned 1t himself Chicago

In the Natural Way.
During a session of the supreme
court of Maine at Augusta a tedious
and complicated real estate case had
pretty nearly worn out the patience
OF the counsel on both sides. One of
the lawyers engaged was Fred A. APP
pleton, whose fame as a wit was wide
spread.
Opposing him was lawyer of POM
pous mien and much avoirdupois, who
kept making blunder after blunder. un-
til even the judge became irritated.
After making a particularly aggravat-
ing error. he said:
Il beg your honor's pardon; that
was another misteke. l seem to be
inoculated with dullness to-day"
"Inoculated. brother?" said Mr.. Ap-
pleton. Il thought you had it IN the

Very Good Reason Why the Mare
Could Eor Trot a Mile in
Three Minutes.


Not far from Willow Grove lives
young farmer whose fine stock Of horses
are admired by all who see them. The
other day friend. an amateur. called
on him in search of something fast,
ates the Philadelphia Ledger.
There" said the stock farm owner.
pointing to an animal in the field,
there, sir. is mare that could trot her
mile in three minutes were 1t not for one
thing"
'Indeed?" said his friend.
Yes" continued Mr.. S., she was
four years old last spring, is IN good con-
dition, loks well, and is a first rate mare
and she could go a mile in three minutes
were it not for one thing"
What is it?" was the query.
That mare, insisted the owner, "is
in every way good mare. work her
three or four days week She trots
fair and square, and yet there is one
thing that prevents her from going
mile in three minutes"
What in the name of thunder is it,"
cried the friend. impatiently.
We'll, replied the other, quietly, the
distance is too great for the time"

down from Alton by Ben Hallum and
another man. The train reached

with him at the jail door he wore a

TO EaUALIzE EXPANSION.
French Inventor Discovers a New
Alloy Which Has This Effect
in Metals.

By the discovery Of a new alloy after
much experimenting French inventor
claims he will be able to effect saving
Of s150,O00 every year in the making of
watches alone. The great discrepancy
IN the expansion Of metals on heating.
says an authority. has often proved a
trying experience to metal workers. and
is further complicated blythe fact that in
making alloys the change with tempera-
ture is often found to be quite different
from mere average Of the constituent
metals. But in the new alloy, a compo-
sition Of nickel and iron, containing Ss
per cent of the former, the expansion
under heat is barely more than quartz,
which is almost immeasurably small.
Already 1t has found favor with the
French authorities for use in surveying
instruments. where variations In cli-
mate render accurate measurements
difficult A far more general application
will be found, however, in the case of
clocks and watches. Regulation of the
swing Of the pendulum under the varia-
tions Of summer and winter temperature
is usually made by arranging a strip of
some highly expansible metal to in
crease upwards from the bob on heating,
SO keeping the length constant. While
this proves satisfactory, the new alloy
promises to relieve the difficulty in
volved in the adjustment of such PEN
dulums.

PASSING OF RACE ISSUE.
Almost Universal Tolerance Has
Come About in the Last
Century.

In the twelfth chapter Of the Book Of
Judges It is told how the Gileadites
slew forty and two thousand Ephraim-
ties at the passage Of Jordan because
they pronounced ''shihboleths "sibbo-
leth.' That was a race issue, says the
San Francisco Argonaut. BY their faulty
speech the forty and two thousands
proved themselves to be OF another
race and they were slain. Read an
cient history and learn that in the dark
backward and abysm Of time the han1
OF every man Of one race was against the
hand Of every man Of all other races
Stranger meant enemy. alien meant
foe. Then the race issue was at its
STRONGEST. Centuries have passed. Al
most universal tolerance has come
about While races still preserve their
national identity. ingress and egress
are for the most part free and open. The
SONS of one race mate freely with the
daughters Of another. without loss Of
caste or taint Of dishonor, a French girl
may marry Neapolitan. a Swiss maid
en- a Prussian youth. a Norwegian Ole
son a German Gretchen, a Russian an
Austrian. a Spaniard a Portuguese. an
Englishman a Scott. The population OF
the United States is an amazing com.
posite Of these and other races.

Fourth Cavalry Expects Service in the

Walla Walla. Wash. May lit is
probable that the Fourth cavalry, sta
toned at Walla Walla, will be ordered
to the Philippines for service in the
near future. At this place there is
but one third of the regiment, the re-
mainder being at Monterey and San
Francisco. The Monterey division OF
the regiment will be detailed to the
Yosemite and SeQuonia national parks
for guard service until such time as
they may receive orders. No definite
orders for the removal Of the regi-
meut have been received. so no ar
rangements have b made for regi-
ment to succeed the Fourth The as
surance Is given. however. that a
white regiment will be stationed here
instead Of a colored one
The white soldiers. are far more ac-
ceptable to the citizens OF Walla Walla
as there Is less disorder. While the col
ored regiment was stationed here
many soldiers appeared In the courts
and several were left behind to serve
sentences in the penitentiary. Since
the Fourth cavalry has been here not
one of the members has appeared In
court and Col Steever says few are
before a courtmartial to serve SEN
fences in the guardhouse.

Ninety five Per Cent Gain in Popula-

Leon Brown has just completed the
census of this town and finds that Pa
louise has the greatest percentage of
growth of any town in Whitman coun-

has 1906. gain of S76. or 95 per cent.
This includes only the bona fide resi-
dents and does not take in over 200
transients who are working in the
logging camps and live here much of
the time. This phenomenal growth is
solid, natural and substantial, in keep
ing with the industrial development.
With the building of the Washington.

struction Of another mill here by the
Potlatch Lumber company, the INSTALL
ing of another large Touring mill. the

Pottery company and the increase of all
cher lines of industry Palouse WILL at
conservative estimate, pass the 1900
mark in the next three years.
