young ladies' in the smart set who en-
tertained extensively last winter was
cruel enough to solve the mystery. The
other day a number of her friends
were gathered at her house. takine
afternoon tea, and were discussing Inc
past season and their plans for the
summer. During the conversation
the name Of the popular" young man
was mentioned, and one of the young
ladies' said: Il wonder why Jimmie
was always invited to everything last
winter? He never entertained but he
seemed to go everywhere" The
hostess smiled, and said Maybe l
can explain. Just wait a minute. p
Then going ever to her card tray she
rummaged around among the paste
boards and finally found a card which
she brought cut and read. 1t was as
follows:

ment on Monday night. For some
reason my card has not reached me.

am writing to inform you that my
address is -, Massachusetts avenue,
to which address all my invitations
should be sent"
The girls laughed heartily, and one
or two of them confessed that they, too
had received a similar card, and as
they all liked Jimmie, the invitations
were sent.
Jimmie has moved to his country

are writing to Jimmie Butt-in," as
they call him, asking him why their

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which


It's a matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can be
got into shape to best receive the benefits
of the summer season. Especially is this
true Of the children. They have become
run down by winter of unnatural man
ner of living because of ill-considered
food and much time spent indoors.
vegetables and all else invigorating, but
the children are in no condition to re-
ceive natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family physl-
clan. Many other parents take advan-
tage Of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: Give
the children Castoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy Of old, for they took
it themselves as children. 1t was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charles III. F'letch-
er then, as it does to-day. The sigma
ture is it's guarantee, which is accepted
in thousands of homes where there are
children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families DR.. William /. Mccain OF
Omaha, Neb., is the father of one OF
these much-read-about families. Here IS
what he says:
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my own
family experience I have, in my years
of practice, found Castoria a popular and
efficient remedy in almost every home.
Charles H. Fletcher has received hun
dreds Of letters from prominent physi-
clans who have the same esteem for Cas-
toria that DR.. Mccain has. Not only
do these physicians say they use Castorla
in their own families, but they prescribe
it for their clients. First of all it is
vegetable preparation which assimilates
the food and regulates the stomach and
bowels After eating comes sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that, too. 1t al
lays feverishness and prevents loss OF
sleep, and this absolutely without the use
of opium, morphine or other baneful mar
cotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to dis
cuss proprietary medicines. Halls jour
nal Of Health, however, says: Our duty
is to expose danger and record the
means for advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through
greed or ignorance ought to end. 70 our
knowledge Castoria is remedy which
produces composure and health by regu-
lating the system, not by Supplying it,
and our readers are entitled to the in
formation"

German Colonization Schemes.

1t is not to be believed that Ger
many will try to maintain her colonies
on the west coast of Africa in view OF
the bloody, and hitherto successful,
revolt of the natives against German
rule No one VINO has seen the
methods of German colonization in
Africa on either coast can approve the
maintenance of those colonies In the
first place, there is little or nothing
except land hunger to justly the
German government in going to the
great expense in life and money that
these settlements entail. There has
been no material progress toward
securing markets for German goods,
and no development of the adjacent
country. AS far as the natives are
concerned, the fact chat, in spite OF
the enormous superiority of the Ger,
man forces, the Herreros and other
tribes have felt driven to open hos
tilities is conclusive evidence mat the
African mind has not been impressed
with the advantages of civilization as

Medical Science Discovers Cure for

This Malady by Breathing Hyomei.
Among the important additions
made to medical science in recent
years, none is more notable than the
positive announcement of a cure for
hay fever. Exhaustive experiments
with Hyomei prove that this treat
ment will prevent the attacks of hay
fever If used for two or three weeks
before the annual appearance of the
disease, and 1t may be relied upon, If
used faithfully after the sneezing and
other annoying symptoms have ap-
peared, to relieve at once and afford
a permanent cure.
Stomach dosing cannot cure hay
fever. A change Of climate Is the
only treatment that gives any relief,
and Hyomei, which medicates the
air you breathe, acts upon this prin-
ciple, giving in your own home ell

Hereafter the offices of the agency
and school at the Umatila reserva-
ton will all be at the latter place
and in one building. This change has
been made since the suspension of
Clerk Robinson by Major McKoin
some time ago, and is said to be a
it was made upon the suggestion of
Inspector Valentine could not be
learned from that gentleman, who
was here last evening.
For some time past the school and
agency have been combined to the
extent that the duties of agent and
school superintendent have been per-
formed by one man. Thus Major Nc
Koin has been at the head of the en-
tire agency, and has also filled the
post of principal of the school, How
ever, his offices have been at the
school, while the agency office, with
all of the books, maps and other rec
ords, have been at the old quarters,
quite a distance this side of the
school. AS a result of such system
it is said to have been practically i'm
possible for Major McKoin to attend
to both offices, and it is said that he
has desired the change ever since he
has been stationed here. AS the
school buildings are of brick and
new, while the old offices have been
in use for years, 1t is thought that
the headquarters will be maintained
at the former place during the future.
The investigation by Private Secre-
tary Valentine is still being continued,
that official having now been there
for about three weeks. However, it
is believed that his inquiry into the
official squabble is completed, and
that he is devoting the time now to
ascertaining what course should be
pursued towards the Indians in the fu-
ture. To this end there will be a
public meeting at the school on Sun
day afternoon at 2:3O, for the purpose
of discussing the acreage to be leas-
ed to any one man, and also the
length of time for which such leases
should be given.

SAGE HENS SCARCER.
Idaho Dearth Caused by Unfavorable
Spring.

Idaho Dearth Caused by UnfavOrable
Spring.
THE unusually heavy rainfall dur
ing the past spring was a boon for the
farming, fruit and agricultural inter
ests, generally, in this section, but it
was a hard one for the sage hens, and
the sportsmen who have gone out af-
ter the bird within the past few days
are beginning to discover the fact"
was the remark of Deputy Game War
den B. T. Livingston to the Boise
Statesman.
1t appears that the cold wet wealth
er that prevailed for several weeks in
the spring had a disastrous effect with
the natural increase in the sage
chicken tribe. Ordinarily these are
among the most abundant of the game
birds in this part of the country, be-
cause under ordinary circumstances
the weather during the spring months
is such as to facilitate their multipli-
cation.
This year thousands upon thous-
ands of the eggs laid by the hens
failed to hatch, and the wet and cold
weather is held responsible for the
short output of chicks that should
now be ready for the harvest. Mr..
Livingston says that in the course of
a days travel through the natural
habitat Of the sage hen one can find
scores of nests, with the eggs in them,
but Unmatched, the chicks having
been chilled and killed during the
period of incubation.
The deputy says that the reports of
sportsmen confirm the truth of his
observations of the shortage in the
hen supply this season. In other years
he has known of as many as 1900
hens having been killed in a single
day by the hunters. This year the
most that he has recorded for a day
was in the neighborhood of 900.
