two water lilies In our high mountain
lakes white and yellow respectively.
The seeds OF water lilies are said TO have
two coats with layer OF air between,
enabling them To float long distances

PLANTS THAT ROLL.
In some cases the whole plant Is
adapted to rolling along the ground,
scattering It's seeds as IL goes. We
have the tumb!ing saltbush, the COM

also, and most unfortunately, the Rus

No Suckers, No Fakers.

The number of fakirs that have
been working Caldwell in the
advertising line lately is really
amusing, and the fact that they
never fail to get anywhere from
ten to thirty dollars worth of
advertising every time they hit
town still more amusing. They
come in with a little 1OX14 dodger
with ABOUT three inches of pro-
gram" in the middle and then
proceed to sell twenty dollars worth
of advertising space around it and
put the money in their pockets
and leave. They have about five
hundred of these programs"
printed which are never looked at
twice by anybody, and yet the
next one that comes along gets the
ads Justine same. Now just stop
and consider what you are getting
for your money Don't you know
that the same amount of money
would pay for the same size space
in the News-Chronicle for from
two to four weeks, and. that you
would get circulation of four
teen hundred copies, read by five
thousand or more people, and that
it would go into their homes, and
not be thrown aside on the street?
And the money you paid for this
advertising would be kept at home,
paid out to home employees aud
spent again with home merchants,
Merchants are always bowling
about keeping money at home and
letting the mail order houses alone,
and yet by patronlZing THESE very
fakirs they are doing the very
thing they are protesting about the
trade doing. We can cite seven or
eight of these fakirs who have been
here during six months, and have
carried away between $50 and
$500 for advertising that was
actually not worth so cents all
told. We should not gruInble
about sewing machine, buggy and
grocery statesmen taking in" the
people every few. months, when
the local merchant is playing about
the biggest sucker in the whole
lot.-Calwell News Chronicle.

Stop For Refreshments.

George Gould was addressing "a
delegation of railroad brakemen.
In the course of an exceedingly
interesting speech said:
On the English railways the
coaches are cut up into a number
of small rooms or compartments.
The passengers are isolated in these
compartments. Sometimes indeed,
they are locked in. Their only
means of communication with the
brakemen is an electric bell, which
must never be rung save in an
emergency OF crisis. This bell
always stops the train and creates
immense confusion and alarm.
1T is a poor system. 1t is an
oldfashioned system that often
causes trouble.
An old lady, very near-sighted,
got into a carriage one day i'll
which boy sat. She and the boy
had the compartment to them
selves. The train started, the old
lady looked about her, and spying
the bell, she said to the boy:
" Young chap, I amt used to
railroads What's that there bell
for?"
THE boy smiled maliciously.
That's to ring when you want
something to eat, he said. The
road provides lunch.
The old lady nodded. A half
hour or so went by. Then she
leaned forward and rang the bell.
Instantly the brakes ground
down upon the wheels. The
locomotive whistled. The train
stopped so suddenly that many
people were thrown forward to the
foot. There were shrleks windows
were lowered and heads protruded.
Guards ran from carriage to
carriage.
Who rang that bell?' he
shouted as he ran along.
1 did, young man, said the
old lady.
Well what do you want?' he
asked.
She thought a little while.
Then she said calmly:
Il think you might bring me
some chicken sandwiches and a
bottle of root beer. P"

Would it not he IL good idea for
the Democrats of this county TO
follow the independents sugges-
ton last week to abandon personal
politics for once in the race for
county Offices this fall, and the
candidates on both sides stand or
fall by the issues of their respec-
tive parties. Such canvass would
establish a clean cleavage between
the parties, and settle beyond dis
pute whether booze and Doodle has
not heYetofcre been more potent in
determining how the offices shall
be distributed thnn momentous
public questions upon which our
public officers are presumed to he
chosen. Let the people of Wash
ington county for this once take
the campaign out of the hands of
the candidates; let them separate
it from the whiskey bottle and the
many little gratis that have done
so much to bring local politics in
to disrcpute, and go to the polls
with their political duty firmly
glnc,l to their convictions of party
principle, and they will leave be-
hind no cause for carping criticism
of their conduct.

Senator Stone says Bryan is the
paramount issue in Missouri this
year, and we feel pretty certain
that the Senator would be glad to
have his view of the issue accepted
by the people. Stone of course,
is only making an effort to veil the
Democratic record in this state, in
which he himself figures conspicu-
onsly, with the name of Bryan.
BY loud and interminable whOop-
ing IF this Darl,e it is hoped by the
Senator and the rest of the ''old
guard" that Democratic connivancc
in Missouri with the trusts and
corporations will be forgotten long
enough to permit the old ring to
get another grip on the state. This
scheme is not likely to carry, how
ever, since the people of the state
have Of late acquired tho habit Of
demanding Il decent and honest
government. Bryan's connection
with such men us Stone, whom he
makes no attempt to rcpudiatc,
puts the former in the snme clase
with the latter, and for that rea-
son Ms we'll as for others Missouri
is not going to enthnse for Bryan
this wear.
