bled like a leaf. but went right up
the steps of the throne and handed him
the bag, and said: Help yourself,
Bub."
Well, sir, the queerest thing hap
pened. had bought two pieces Of candy
filled with cayenne pepper. for April
fool, and the king handed the bag to
the master of ceremonies, a big Span
lard, all covered over with gold lace,
and If you will believe me, the king
got one piece of the cayenne pepper
candy, and the spangled prime minis
ter got the other, and the king chewed
his piece first, and he opened his mouth
like dog that has picked up q hot boiled
egg, and he blew out his breath to cool
his tongue and said: 'Whoosh," and
strangled and sputtered, and then the
prime minister he got his, and he
yelled murder in Spanish, and the king
called for water, and put his hands on
his stomach and had a cramp, and the
other man he tied himself up in double
bow knot, and called for q priest, and
the king said he would have to go to the
chapel, and the fellows who were guard
ing the king took him away, breathing
hard, and red in the face, and dad said
to me: You have poisoned the whole
bunch of crowned heads, and We had
better get out" and so we went out OF
the palace while the kings retainers
were filing him with ice water. Well,
they got the cayenne pepper out OF him.
because we saw him at the bull-fght in
the afternoon, but for awhile he had
the hottest box there ever was outside
of freight train, and If he lives to
be as old as Mr.. Methuselah, he will
always remember his interview with
little Hennery.
The bull-fight amt much. Bulls come
in the ring mad as wet hens, cause they
stick daggers in them, and they bel
low around, and the Spaniards dodge
and shake red rags at them, and after
a bull has ripped mess of bowels out
of few horses, then man with sabre
stabs the bull between the shoulders,
and he drops dead, and the crowd cheers
the assassin of the bull, and they bring
in another bull.
Well, sir, dad came mighty near his
finish at the bull-fght. When the
second bull came in, and ripped the
stomach out of blind horse, and the
bull was just charging man who was
to stab it, dad couldn't stand it any
longer, and he climbed right over into
the ring, and he said: Look ahere, you
heather, l protest, in the name Of the
American Humane Society, against this
cruelty to animals, and unless this busi-
ness stops right here, ! will have this
place pulled, and"
Well, sir, you would Of thought that
bull would have had sense enough to
see that dad was his friend, but he
probably couldn't understand what dad
was driving at, for he made rush for
dad, and dad started to run for the
fence, and the bull caught dad just like
dad was sitting in rocking chair, and
tossed him over the fence, and dads
pants stayed on the bulls horns, and
dad landed in amongst q lot Of male
and female grandees, and everybody
yelled: Bravo, Americana" and the
police wrapped q blanket around dads
legs and were going to take him to the
emergency hospital, but claimed dad,
and took him to the hotel. Yours,
HENNERY.

Rntton-Sewing Trick.

e, II you've never tried sewing buttons
on over a pin-try It! You'll never sew
them on any other way, especially for
shirtwaists and underclothes and chill
dren's clothes. Lay the pin across the
top of the button and take your stitches
over 1t, pushing it around when you
come to taking the cross stitches. When
the pin is pulled out, your button will
pass through the buttonhole without
puckering the material directly under
1.-THE extra length Of the stitches
gives it room. And If you want to make
1t very strong, wind your cotton sew
eral times around the threads between
button and cloth.

MS into the throne room at the palate.
anG the little king, who looked like q
student In the high school, with dys-
pepsia from over study and cake be-
tween meals, saw dad, he thought he
was the most distinguished American
he had ever seen, and he Invited dad
up beside him on the throne, and dad

hundreds of millions OF cold dollars,

Lafayette Wright, an old man of
about sixty years, who came here some
sixty years ago from Kansas and who
has been employed at the ]. A. Pettet
saw mill near Avon, met with serious
accident Wednesday. He was running
the planer and stick of timber going
through did not move as fast as he
thought it should, he went back OF the
planer and putting his foot against a
roller, gave pull. His foot slipped
into the knives resulting in the loss oI
every toe. The old gentleman wa:
taken to the hospital at Moscow
Wednesday night and his wound
dressed, but it will be some time be-
fore he can use the foot. Mr.. Wrigh
has worked in saw mills for forty year.
and this is his first accident.

There are lots Of things in this
old world that are lpretty warm, many
that are hot, few that are red hot and
just few that fairly sizzle and sputter
and are hotter by few degrees than
the hottest thing you ever read about.
Yet there is one thing hotter by ten
thousand degrees than all the rest com
bined and beside which the hottest
are mere ice bergs. We mean liquid
extract Of Cayenne pepper. And the
discovery that it is hot was due entire
ly to the efforts of our local druggist
c. V. Johnson and c. O. Rumble, the
gentleman who looks after the mail
at the Troy post office. 1t happened
about this way: Each of the rural
carriers out Of Troy carry with them a
few large envelopes used in carrying
stamps and other supplies for lhe ac-
commodation of the patrons of the
office. 1t was these envelopes that
offered the opportunity and resulted in
the discovery that liquid extract OF cay
enne pepper is as hot as we have indi-
Gated and R. F. D. carriers Martin and
Wilkins made the discovery. Messrs.
Rumble and Johnson placed just
little of the liquid on the envelopes
and then waited developments. Young
Wilkins was the first to rub his tongue
the full length of ten inch envelope
and then spent several minutes trying
to put out the blaze. Wilkins ther
kept still just to catch Mr.. Martin and
Martin was caught. When this gen
leman got an order for stamps he has
tened to fill the order and seal it uI
and this caused him to make the
second discovery that liquid extract o
Cayenne is hot.

Telephones for Troy.

E. E. Crandall, manager of the In
ter-State Telephone Company, of Mos
COW, accompanied by c. D. German,
spent Tuesday in Troy with view to
enlarging the company's business here.
After consulting with number of our
business men Mr.. Crandall is thorough
ly convinced that this town is entitled
to an up-to-date service, and will pro-
ceed at once to install such system
here. An Office will be equipped with
modern switchboard, and Troy citi-
zens given service of which there
will be little cause for complaint. Mr..
Crandall says he has now over thirty
phones spoken for, and is satisfied fifty
will be put in, as many will eventually
install phones in their residences.
There has been some trouble hereto
fore, owing to the fact that the Inter
State, being connected with so many
residences through the rural districts,
were unable to give satisfactory service
But with an exchange at Troy, thi:
will be regulated, as party lines will be
taken off the long lines connecting the
towns. From what Mr.. Crandall say:
of the company's plans the patrons ol
the Interstate lines will be given {
service first class in every way ant
within year will be as extensive as the
Pacific States lines. He says big
company has been organized at Seattle
and the new lines are already being
put in.

Big Vegetables.

You can't beat the Potlatch when it
comes to raising fine vegetables. Not
only is the quality excellent but the
soil produces prize-winners as far as
size goes. And as to variety no other
section of the great northwest can be-
gin to equal the agricultural district
tributary to Troy. Especially is this
true Of American Ridge, lying just
south of this point. AS to what can be
done by proper cultivation and atten-
ton no better illustration is had than
that presented by Abe Compton, who
has 40 acres now under high degree
of cultivation about four miles south
Troy. Mr.. Compton confines his at
tention to market gardening and fruit
raising for the market, and the results
speak volumes for the fertility of our
soil. During the week Mr.. Compton
brought in his usual load to Troy, md
this is about what he supplied his Gus
toners with that day: Fine, large,
smooth, ripe tomatoes, the best kind
of big, long roasting ears; potatoes, all
big and of excellent quality; water
melons, superior to the best that have
been shipped in from outside points;
cabbage, the heads of good size
for this time of the season and all
sound and good. And besides other
staples his wagon contained onions
that would do credit to any section on
earth. And it is in onions that Mr.
Compton really does take the cake. "
From his big patch raised from spring
sown seeds of the Red Weatherfelc
variety, Mr.. Compton pulled four which
he presented to the News Office
This sample weighed just four pounds
and is yet far from matured. If any
country can beat this we would lik'
very much to know where it is located
and just have them produce the truck

Car Wrecked.

A box car, loaded with meats from
Chicago to the Lewiston Mercantile
Company jumped the track between
here and Howell and rolled down the
hill hundred yards or more. The
car was at the rear of the train next to
the caboose. At the time of the acci-
dent the brakeman and conductor were
on the car but jumped in time to es-
cape slide down the embankment
with the meat. The car was smashed
to splinters and is a total wreck, but
the damage to the meats amounted tc
only about S25. A crew Of men were
put to work and the meat carried up to
the track and reloaded.

Timber and Orchard Go Up in Smoke

Fire destroyed about forty acres of
fine standing timber last Saturday even
ing on Emory Belongs place two
miles northeast Of town. The fire was
started in clearing on S. Pages place
and heavy wind springing up carried
the flames into the timber on Bello-
my's place, with the above result.
Neighbors gathered in with the first
alarm and made an effort to confine
the fire, but the fierce wind carried the
flames through the timber despite their
efforts. Mr.. Belongs field of shocked
grain and his orchard were directly in
the path OF the flames, and consider.
able number of the men were fighting
at this point. The orchard was com
pletely destroyed, and the fire jumping
into the into the oat field, burned
over about four acres before the men
could stopit. The oats was very heavy
and would easily have made two and
one-half tons per acre. At one time
during the evening two men coming
around opposite corners Of the barn
discovered fire in stump close to the
barn. Had this not been discovered
at this moment, the loss would have
been materially increased, as the barn
house, and other outbuildings are close
together and it would have been almos
impossible to have saved them. Nc
estimate has been placed on the
amount Of the loss sustained by Mr.
Bellomy, who knew nothing OF the fr'
until Sunday about noon, when, as h'
was returning home from the harves
field he was met by a ueighbor whit
apprised him of his loss.

Agents who claim they are represent
ing reliable houses in Portland and
Seattle are working clever scheme to
defraud the rancners. Theft game is
to call on him and introduce them
selves as representing a certain COM
pany and solicit orders for tea, coffee,
spice, etc. After the agent obtains a
goodly supply Of orders he returns to
the city to have them filled. AS a
matter of fact he is sent out by an un-
scrupulus house to sell their goods
under special brand.
These goods are of such inferior and
adulterated stuff as to be ~uufit for hu-
man consumption. The orders for
coffee are filled at a wholesale cost OF
IS cents a pound-the farmer paying
IS cents per pound, profit of %
on every pound. or $3.50 every 25.
pound order. Orders for spices and
extracts are filled in the same proper
tions. 1t is an easy graft to work, for
some farmers have old-fashioned notions
that they are being over charged by
the local merchant OF their town, and
think they have an opportunity to gel
back" AS matter of the fact, it i:
pernicious form Of highway robbery
For not only is the farmer robbed, bu'
the local merchant is defrauded Of the
trade that legitimately belongs to him

the community and town is taken away

A Dissatisfied Farmer.

While the most OF the farmers Of the
great Potlatch ridges are out Of debt,
have good buildings, fine stock, beauti-
full farms and are happy and contented
with their lot, occasionally one is found
who isn't satisfied. A few days ago
the News editor met Jack Driscoll,
who owns one of the prettiest farms on
Driscoll Ridge, and as this worthy gen
tleman had just finished threshing
what had been reported most excel
lent and promising crop, we enquired
of Mr.. Driscoll the result of his yield.
And we were surprised to find oui
friend looking as blue as indigo and in
anything but a pleasant frame Of mind.
He explained the cause for his blues
about as follows: ''You see I had
about the finest looking crop of fall
wheat in my whole section. 1t KEEP
growing until the grain was higher
than a mans head and so thick thai
the squirrels couldn't get into it. Pve
lived here a good while and I've neve
seen as good a prospect as 1 had thii
year. But would you believe it, tina
grain threshed out only fifty bushels t
the acre" And with that Mr.. Dris
coll walked away feeling that he haC
had his share OF hard luck during th'
year Just past.

Reports Good Yield.

Orlando Hupp was in town recently
from his lower Bear Ridge farm.
While in Troy Mr.. Hupp dropped in
at the News Office for a few moments.
He says he had about six acres of Lit
tie Club that made SIS bushels per acre.
This is the best yield yet reported
from that section. Mr.. Hupp follows
diversified farming and is firm and
practical advocate of cleaner crops.
1t is well known fact that soil abso-
1utely clean of wild oats and weeds can
be made to produce the most satisfac-
tory yields, for weeds and other foul
stuff tax the soil more than do the
tame products. When Mr.. Hupp set
tied in this vicinity the land was fairly
clean. He says it was because Of the
fact that the early settlers were pretty
hard run that the land first became
foul. The people were compelled to
purchase any kind of seed available,
and there being no tanning mills OF
other means of cleaning the seed,
in some cases almost clear wild oats
were sown. OF late years, he says,
the farmers have waged war on the
wild oats until, at the present time, the
soil is getting back its former produc-
tiveness. Like great many farmers
who are best acquainted with soil con-
ditions, Mr.. Hupp does not believe in
summer-fallowing. He says that re-
peated experiments have proven tc
him that the soil is in no way benefit
ted by this means. He says that the
sowing and turning under of clover Oh
some similar fertilizer will accomplish
much better results.
Mr.. Hupp says the most of his frui
was blown off by the recent winC
storm, but says next year the orchards
will make up for the shortage. MIR
Hupp likes the News, and, though hi
resides nearer Kendrick, comes up t.
Troy frequently, and cannot complain
of the treatment he receives at th'
hands of the Troy merchants.

Identified as Bouton.

Denver, Jan. 30-Through the iden-
tification in Denver yesterday of pic
ture of Milton Franklin Andrews of
Hartford. Connecticut, as being that of
the man who was at the Albany hotel
in Denver last spring with Bessie Bou-
ton of Syracuse. New York most i'm,
portant point has been established in
the Mount Cutler murder mystery. If
the body found near Colorado Springs
last December was that of Bessie Bou-
ton. then Franklin. or Andrews. or G.
Bouton. as he registered in Denver
probably will be held for her mur-
der. Chief of Police Reynolds OF
Colorado Springs is now in the East,
working on the case. and 1t is said that
as soon as he establishes the identity
of the Mount Cutler victim as the Bou.
ton woman he will arrest Andrews.
