his love for literature and his fine SEN

the influence of his natural tempera-

showed a degree of self-possession
which prevented it from giving him any
serious disturbance"
And when his career was at its
height, when he was enjoying the fruits
of success and the good fortune that
could well be appreciated after the
early struggle-he- left it all. The
worldly mind cannot conceive such
sacrifice; only to the few is it given
TO admire like act. Not a thought did
he give to what he was leaving behind,
nor to the good he could still accom-

at parting from his friends. Even dur

when thoughts of those he had left

one had called to see him, he turned
away. his eyes filing with tears, and
refused to be seen. In the new life he

Attractive Women.

1t is the woman who has the courage
Of herself who attracts, says a writer
on women Originals are generally
more desirable than copies, no matter
how acurate the copy may be. Let
every woman dare to be herself. de-
velop her own observation-disclosures blind
ly copy some other woman whom it
may be her husband happens to adj
mire. Let her think for herself, act for
herself and express her own honest
opinions. individuality, when combined
with that nameless something called
manner, is the most potent weapon in
the possession of the sex. A good wo-
mans laugh is better than medicine. A
well-toid story is as welcome as a sun
beam in a sick-room. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your ills
and sorrows. Don't continually cry
tears do well enough in novels but
they are not desirable in real life.-Ru-

CURE FOR THE BLUES.

A doctor who has made a speciality
of nervous diseases has found new
remedy for 1.-The blues AS no drugs
are administered, ne has felt safe in
| experimenting with at least half Il
hundred melancholy patients and now
declares himself thoroughly satisfied
with the good results of his treatment
His prescription reads something like
this: IF you keep the corners of your
mouth turnsd up you can't feel blue;
and the directions for taking are:
Smile keep on smiling: don't stop
smiling" 1t sounds ridiculous. doesn
it? Well. just try turning up the cor
ners of your mouth, regardless of your
mood. and see how ii makes you feel;
then draw the corners. of your mouth
down, and notice the effect, and you
will be willing to declare there's some
thing in it, The doctor treats his
nervous patients to medicine when
necessary, but when the case is one of
pure melancholy without bodily ILL., he
simply recommends the smile cure. He
has the patient remain in his office,
and smile-if it isn't the genuine ar
ticle. it must a tleast be an upward
curvature of the corners of the mouth
and the better feeling follow in
evitanly The treatment is followed
up regularly, and the patients all testi-
fly to the good effects. 1t takes con-
siderable persuasion to induce some
of them to apply the cure, and of
course. the greater number of patients
are women; for when man is blue
he is bound to be blue. i'll spite of
everything, but a woman is more easily
persuaded to try to find a cure. His
discovery grew out of an experience
in his own home. Hise wife was of
nervous and rather mordib tempera-
ment. and when in a respondent mood
he would ask her to Smile a little"
until the saying came to be house
hold joke But it brought about good
results. and then came the inspiration
to try the same cure upon others.

The lonesome crow sounds forth an

From nest and bough the birds away

Tie woods lament, deserted of their

Drop loosely down; the farmer binds
his sheaves.
Aad barn and bin are full, and full the

Aad ruddily flames out the sunsets fire.

her hands,
And wide surveys her reaped and lev
cled lands.

she is sure to do something decorative.
She is sure to dress up in some man
ner. She has a way M adding little
touches that are as necessary as the
final touches to a room, as necessary
as the scent to the rose.
But speaking from a more practical
standpoint and as a guide to the wo-
man who wants to be beautiful. the
Italian woman has perfect complexion
because she takes fruits and other cas-
lily digested foods.
She has fine spirits and clear, soft
eyes, because she knows how to rest,
and understands the knack of nCt. over
exerting herself.
She lays her regular features and fine
carriage to early training. And she
owes her beauty to the care which she
habitually takes of her face and of her
figure.-Brookly Eagle.

Nursery Notes.

Don't allow child to sleep with an
older person.
Don't comb a child's hair too much
Brush with a soft brush.
Don't coax a child to eat. Lack OF
appetite oftens indicates lack of neces-
sity.
Don't let children spend any more
time in the bedroom than is absolutely
necessary.
Don't think a child can have bright
ness Of eyes, clearness, softness and
smoothness of skin without good food
Don't use curling tongs. If baby's
locks absolutely must be curled-in
little sugar cuTls"-twist them at bed
time on soft cloths.
Don't give children chairs that are
soft and low in the middle, or their
necks will be certain to sink within
their, shoulders and their figures be-
come distorted.
Don't give a child a harsh rub after
a bath. Drying should be done care
fully with soft towel. There should
be a warm tub" in the morning and a
quick sponge bath at night.
Don't allow child to grow UP with
squirting eyes or crooked teeth. The
scientific treatment of physical defects
has reached high point of skill, and
many of natures unlSindnesses may be
overcome.
Having discovered what passions are
most predominant in your soul, adopt
such method of thinking. speaking
and acting as may counterfeit them.

CARS WERE
IN COLLISION

The Traction company can not
get the best of the Washington
Water Power company before the
city council, so they bump one of
the power company's cars off the
track. The accident occurred at
the corner of Howard street and
Sprague avenue this morning.
The collision occurred about II
o'clock. The Traction company's
car going east ran into the power
company's car going south and
broke two windows, smashed the
end Of the car UP and moved the
car off the track. The wheels of
the power company's car were rem
dered useless and the car was
taken to the repair shops.
The Traction company sustained
the loss of one fender and one end
of a car broken up.
How the accident occurred is not
known. The power company's car
claimed the right of way. No one
was seriously hurt.

MINERS GROWING CHILDREN

I his father before him, is a CON

works in the mines, was propped
up in a chair with his foot crushed.
There were also two little girls,
clean and sweet in their Bingham

will we strike when the agree

We'll, l hope not, but l think we
will"
ooh, John, don't speak about it,"
said his wife.
That sums up the sentiment in
every miners home on the strike
question.
A Good Miners Pay.
1T is very hard to tell just what
wages the miners get" Sammy's
father told me. Take my own
case. Last pay day ] drew $50 for
two weeks work. That sounds like
big wages. But l have two labor
ers to pay out of that, about $25.
Then | have to buy powder, say S.
for powder; 50 for sharpening tools,
about 81 for oil, then l pay 60 cents
month water rent, $40 a month
house rent, and the remainder goes
for food, clothes, fuel, my dues to
the union and the small amount
give to my church.
81 have a family of six to sup
port-not counting the two Oldest
moys, who pay board-and there
are doctor bills to meet once in a
while.
The boy of IA employed in the
breaker only gets 60 cents a day,
and even that comes in handy to
exc out the family expenses"
The reason this miner made $50
in two weeks with the assistance
of two laborers was due to the fact
that he is working on a gangway
where he gets paid $3.50 a yard
for extending the working in addi
ton to getting paid for the coal he
puts out. Few miners have such
choice Jobs.

FRANCIS MCCARTHY DlSCOV-
ERS SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL
METHOD, EXPLODING ALL
PREVIOUS THEORIES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-
Francis J. Mccarthy, a mere lad,
just past II, has invented a wire
less telephone system which is con-
sidered by authorities to be far SUI
perior to any yet put forward.
The young inventor has worked
out his idea unaided and alone.
Through poverty and reverses, he
has devoted every spare moment
and every penny he could earn to
the invention of an apparatus
which may bring him a worldwide
reputation.
Several weeks ago he gave a
public demonstration of what could
be accomplished by the use of his
system. The most gratifying re-
suits were obtained. His apparatus
at that time, owing to lack of
funds, was necessarily crude, but
since then he has been able to
perfect many details which have in
creased the value of his system.
In his system OF wireless tele-
phony, Mccarthy demonstrates
that it is possible to transmit the
different characteristics of the
voice.
Mccarthy offers as an illustra.
ton of what he has accomplished
the old-time string telephone, con.
structed of two ordinary tin cans
with a string attached to the bot.
tom Of the cans. He says:
I'VE will term the bottom of the
cans the diaphragms, or that which
the vibrations of the voice affect

Between the two cans we have a

ceiving can, being connected with
the string, naturally receives any
sound produced in the first can.
"The diaphragm in the tin can
represents the transmitting ma
chine of the wireless telephone,
capable of producing oscillation in
the ether, with all the Characters
tics of the human voice. The string
represents the ether or connecting
medium between the two stations.

All the apparatus outside of this is
entirely different from any ever

tons l employ an ordinary coherer
telephone receiver and receiving

Mccarthy has been giving daily
demonstrations of the practicable
ity of his invention at one of the
large department stores in this
city, and the success attending his
work draws about him all day long
crowds of curious spectators.

FRESNO, Cal, Oct. 21.--It is
considered a certainty by local rail-
road officials that the miscreant
who wrecked the Owl train by
partially opening a yard switch,
did so to satisfy a private grudge
against Engineer Walter M. Cole,
utterly regardless of the lives of
scores of passengers, who, but for
the reduced speed at which the
train was running, would have
been numbered among his victims,
as were Fireman H. Lon Butts and
young tramp named Knicker-
booker.
Cole, a trusted and fearless en-
ploye of the railroad, made bitter
enemies by his close adherence to
duty and his murder was planned
