Shooting at Roosevelt.

Information has reached Weiser
from Roosevelt that Jack Weersing
was shot and seriously wounded by
George Crooks on Sunday evening,
January 8. The bullet took effect
in the thigh and according to the
advices received, Weersing's condi-
ton is regarded as critical. Both
men are well known in Roosevelt
where they have been for some
time. Weersing was married in
Boise last October to Miss Wini-
fred Ward and bis wife resides
there.
No details are at hand respecting
the affair beyond the fact that
Crooks and Weersing quarreled
over some business matters and
Weersing was shot. Whether ii
was q duel or plain case of get
ting the drop first is not known.
Crooks has q good reputation in
Roosevelt and is generally regarded
as . quiet and peacable citizen.
He owns several promising claims
in the district and has been en-.
gagged id developing them. Those
who know him we'll declare he wal
not inclined to quarrel.
Weersing is also a miner. He
is a giant physically and is said tc
be somewhat beligerent. In sever.

Why the House F.n Down.

An English traveller on his way from
Morocco tells Of curious experience
he had while making trip by camel
inland from Mogador.
1--WE had built a hut Of waffle branch
es to shelter us from the wind. In the
middle Of the night l dreamed that
was shooting rabbits in the bracken Of
Essex and suddenly awoke to find my
self covered with vegetable matter.
Every one has experienced the curious
feeling Of hopeless bewilderment which
comes over a man when he wakes in
the dark among strange surroundings.

orally eaten us out Of house and home,

waited branches of our hut to such an
extent that the sides and roof collapsed

Dai.ties Of the Russian Peasant.

DaiAties Of the Russian Peasant.
The Russian peasant, even II the
bread he eats is black. has a bon boucho
to add to his meal much sought by
epicures in the western world - the
wild mushrooms, which grow thou
sands upon thousands on the steppes
Of Russia. At any time full and ga
worry meal Is provided with the add
ton Of sausage and onions; even a
mushroom often contents them for a
meal with their coarse rye bread. The
poorest laborer has also a luxurious
drink always available from the ever
present samovar, and the tea they
drink would be the envy Of any Amer
lean connoisseur of that beverage, for
the best Of China's tea Is found in
Russia, Pnd all classes enjoy Its quail
ity and fragrance. Never Is water al
lowed to stand on the tea over a few
moments, SO none Of the poisonous
tannin is extracted, and a mildly slim
ulating, straw colored drink is the re-
suit. 1t would be well II the Russian
peasant would content himself with
this, for his only great vice Is drunk
enness.-Social Service.

the Calendar Calculation

SSeS~s.@ S@eSss.e.~-s
Caesars reformed calendar made the
year about eleven minutes too long
that Is, the solar year began eleven
minutes earlier each twelvemonth than
the calendar year. In 1882 Pope Greg
DRY XIII. found that the solar year
had gained ten days on the calendar
year. He corrected this and to keep
the two years more nearly together or
dered that thereafter only centurial
years Invisible by 400 should be leap
years. This calculation IL this: By add
ing eleven minutes regularly to the
year. at the end Of century the legal
calendar has had one more day than
the solar calendar. By giving up the
additional day Of leap year in three
centurial years the legal calendar has
at the end Of three centuries nearly
one day less than the solar calendar.
This difference is corrected by having
an extra day in the fourth centurial
year. The arrangement is 90 nearly
exact that the two years differ by only
one day In 1898 years.

as they do, they are capable Of seeing
backward as well as forward.

Something happened one day in
James Russell Lowelrs Office which
suggested the following: There was a
time when the fastest sailing ships In
the world were built In the shipyards
Of New England. About that time an
American clipper and an English yacht
were entering the harbOr Of Genoa to-
gether, and there was q race between
the clipper and the yacht, and the clip.
per won in the race. When the two
vessels were in port the owner Of the
English yacht, person Of polished
manners, came on board the American
and very handsomely congratulated the
captain Of the clipper upon his achieve
ment, which he said was all the more
remarkable in view Of the fact that It
was the first time that his yacht had
ever been beaten. The liberal minded
old Yankee captain replied: "Well.
now, that's curious. It's the first time
the Polly Ann ever beat anything"

It is generally understood that a
large percentage Of the Chinese are
addicted to the use of opium. This Ia
a misconception. The belief that the
Chinese Of rank and culture use the
drug il due to the prominence given
to the cultivation Of the plant and the
manufacture Of opium in the Celestial
empire. Al a matter Of fact, a native
who uses opium is looked upon by his
superiors as we discuss and classify

The idea that pill will produce an

also erroneous. One must be accus-
