Cadets Want Uniforms

The parents of Blackfoot will have a
nice little problem to think about during
the week of the fair, and especially the
evening of the military ball. Blackfoot
has company of soldiers in company F
which they feel considerable pride In as
evidenced by the fact that they have
aided the boys in putting up the new
armory. Next week comes the house
warming, and then will be good time
to consider whether to encourage the Or
ganization known as the School Cadets
IN carrying on their work. They have
several members who are also members
of company F, and it is their aim to take
the military drill and training while at
school, and as part of the much needed
physical development.
The boys are anxious to carry on this
work while they have chance, and they
have to furnish their own uniforms.
This is where they want the parents to
aid them, and since they require clothes
to wear to school anyhow, they prefer to
buy uniforms while they are buying.
We understand the school board is ar
ranging to furnish proper bond to the
government to secure the rifles, and
while you are at the ball next Wednes,
day evening will be good time to think
this over and see what you will say to
the boy about it when you speak on the
subject of uniforms.

An Interesting Sermon

Rev. DR.. Haley preached to good
congregation at the Methodist church
and said in part.
As the panorama of History passes
before us, it all seems like dream.
Much of our past life is like dream as
we review it. The great throbbing
world about us seems but dream and
when we try to look into the future and
imagine what SO years will bring, it is
but dream. But these day dreams
have purpose. What is it? They are
Beacon lights, either beckoning us on or
warning us off. Had Stevenson and
Fulton and Bell and Marconi not fol
lowed up their dreams and put them in
practice, the world today might not
have the steam engine, the ocean grey
hound, the telephone or the wireless
telegraphy.
But the majority of us are not putting
in practice the suggestions Of our day
dreams, but are trying continually to
convince ourselves that the dream is al
ready the real thing or that the real
thing Is only dream. Now and then
we are aroused by the hard knocks of
life and realize we have been dreaming.
History is God uttering himself through
events and when God speaks we ought
to listen. Some are trying to convince
themselves that there is no hereafter, no
heaven, no hell, but no one ever posi-
lively proved there is none. Suppose
then, there should be heaven and a
hell. Our dreaming to the contrary will
never change the fact, in the least. Then
why not be on the safe side.
Some dream they are as good as other
people. Perhaps they are. But are
they as good as they possibly can be?
The best is none too good, IN this world.

In the Manufactures building at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is biscuit
of marvellous toughness, tougher than
the biscuits described in the funny
papers, and thousand times as large
and heavy. This biscuit is of rubber,
and it weighs 70 pounds. 1t is worth
about 800.
The big biscuit is of Para rubber, the
most valuable kind, and was made by
natives in the jungles of South America,
three thousand miles from the mouth of
the Amazon river. Para rubber, named
for Para, town near the mouth of the
Amazon, originally was gathered near
that place, but the ravages of the rub.
Der gatherers destroyed the industry,
and now rubber trees grow only in the
far inland valleys. Under scientific
methods now in vogue the limit of rub
ber taken from each tree is about three
pounds.
The rubber as it comes from the tree
is about as thick as molasses. The
natives coagulate it in smoke, using a
stick in the center. The big biscuit
now at the Western Worlds Fair was
made in that way. Rubber from South
Africa is not so valuable. King Leopold
Of Belgium now controls the output. In
the old days the natives used to coagu-
late the rubber about rock, and sell it
by weight, rock and all, but this practice
has been stopped. The only rubber
produced in Uncle Sans domain comes
from the southern islands of the Phil
ippine group.

Indian Remedy for Coughs.

A decoction of cherry bark and
spruce bark, boiled and strained, is
an old Indian remedy for coughs,
which has been largely sold under va
rious names for years by venders OF
patent medicines. The white trapper
nowadays dissolves spruce gum in al
cohol, adds a certain proportion OF
the spirits to the bark mixture and
sweetens the whole with maple sugar.
Perhaps the most experienced chemist
could not prepare better cough
syrup than this makes.

Holman Hunts First Portrait.

One day when Holman Hunt, in his
Office boy days, was alore in the Of
fee, a gentleman called and asked for
the principal on business. On the
principals return poor Hunt could not
remember the callers name, but he
said: Il can't remember the gentle

was like" And he promptly drew
picture of the visitor which was so
striking a likeness that the principal
forgot his annoyance in his astonish-
