A secret is thing which yey COM

He. in turn, tells it to somebody that
he can trust, and that somebody re-

can trust And so it goes the rounds,
but it is still secret, although every

MANY, MANY DOCTORS.
Sixteenth Century Wager That
Might BE Won Today.

Might BE Won Today.
The story is told in Joubert's "Popu-
lar Errors Concerning Medicine" pub
lished at Bordeaux, France, in 1919,
that one Gonelle, a jester at the court
of the Duke of Ferrara, insisted once
upon time that the trade which had
the most followers was that of doctor.
To prove his assertion he left his home
one morning to go to the palace with
his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, "What is the
matter with you, Gonelle?" "a terrible
toothache." "Oh, is that all? I'll tell
you what will cure it." And every per-
son he met had some advice to give
him.
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber, the same question and an
swer were repeated. "Ah," said the
prince, Il know of something that will
take the pain right away" Gonelle
instantly threw up his kerchief, saying:
''And you, too, monseigneur, are a doc.

a CURE FOR WORRY
live One Day at a Time and Take
Short Views of Life.

SnOTS VI EitSs
Worry is one of the worst curses
Of modern life. | say of modern life,
not because people thousand years
ago did not worry, because as civil
lization advances men become more
highly strung, more sensitive and
less capable Of detachment. Thus
we often say in very expressive
phrase that thing "gets upon our
nerves" Something distressing hap
pens to US, and we cannot shake it
off. Some one treats us rudely,
harshly or unkindly, and the word or
deed rankles in our minds. We think
it over till it is magnifed into
grievous and intentional insult. We
take it to bed with US, and no sooner
is the light put out than we begin
to recall it and turn over IN our
minds all the circumstances that oc-
casioned it. We sleep feverishly,
haunted all the time with the sense
of something disagreeable. We wake,
and the accursed thing is still ran
king in our minds. This is one
| form of worry, which is very COM
mon among people of sensitive
minds.
Another form of worry is the tend
ency to brood over past errors. The
business man or the public man is
suddenly overwhelmed with the con-
viction that he has made an awful
mess Of things. The worst of all
calanities is the lack of energy to
grapple with calamity, and in most
cases it is worry that breaks. down d
mans energy.
A third and perhaps more com
mon form Of worry is the gloomy
anticipation of future calamities
There are some men who, however
happy they may be today, are per-
petually frightening themselves with
the possibilities of disastrous to-
morrow. They live in terror. WheI
actual sorrow comes upon Us most
Of us discover unexpected resources
! Of fortitude in ourselves. But moth
ing sickens the heart so much as i'm
agined sorrow. Of this form ol

CLOUDS
HIS TITLE

Memories of the free and easy
days in Spokane in the early '9Os
when men tried to steal horses and
go scot free are revived by the
suit brought this morning by
Grant Dyer to clear title to 152
acres of land on the Spokane river
just below Nine Mile bridge. The
situation also illustrates the truth
Of the proportion that the evil that
men do live after them.
In 1892 Tremain H. Fetterly filed
on homestead, now owned and
for the last IA years in open and
notorious possession of a direct
line of possessors, according to the
abstractor. In that year Fetterly
disappeared from public view as
a fugitive from justice. He had
served a term for horse stealing.
He was about due for another
when he took the hike and left
his wife, Martha, to fill out the
homestead conditions. This she
did, and in 1897 a government pat
ent was given her.
In 1898 Grant Dyer bought her
perfected homestead right. Some
years before Fetterly's son, Wal
ter, had figured in conviction for
larceny and the authorities at the
courthouse believe that he was the
remnant of the famous Nine Mile
horse thief gang.
When Mrs. Fetterly perfected
her homestead and the patent was
issued to her it was in the name Of
her husband. He has not been
heard from except a rumor that
he died in Montana under an as
sumed name in 1900. But this can
not be proven and now Mr.. Dyer
Is forced to bring suit to have all
claim that he or his heirs may
have before he can sell his prop
erty.

HOW FRANCHISES
ARE ASSESSED

That there are no franchises
assessed this year to concerns
active in Spokane is not wholly
true, for the assessors books show
certain public utility corporations
which are down for assessments
on franchises which are immense
ly valuable.
Regarding assessments Of street
railway concerns II is held that the
Spokane concerns are in differ
ent position than the establish
ments in other cities In Washing
ton. In Tacoma and Seattle one
concern dominates the situation In
each city, but In Spokane there Is
a competing company to the Wash
ington Water Power company in
the person OF the Spokane Trac-
ton company. For this reason.
says Assessor Stewart, 1t would be
obviously unfair to institute a COM
parison between Spokane and the
other two. AS the most valuable
of the permits Of the Washington
Water Power company, those In

during the past hot spell the aver
age was 100000 gallons per "a
hours. 1t is estimated that 4,000,-
600 gallons of the amount used dur
ing hot weather was for sprinkling
purposes.
w. R. Roy, superintendent of the
water department, is out of the
city today, but the laying off Of
the inspectors Is said not to be a
political move on account of the
deposing of Frank P. Weymouth,
the former superintendent.
Mayor Floyd L. Daggett says It
is a question of saving money and
was done for experiment.
The plan is to employ inspectors
only when there is a possibility OF
water thefts by people neglecting
to hold the nozzle in the hand or
use a meter.

INTO TROUBLE

Thomas Jones, a white bootblack,
recited a heap Of trouble before
Justice Hinkle this morning. Bow
den claimed that his white "fren"
touched him for $40 while the two
occupied a room at the New York
lodging house.
The alleged touch" followed a
night out, where the two INDUCED
in dissipation to the extent OF hir.
Ing a hack. The white bootblack
spent so cents and the colored boy
spent all of so cents during the
night. Justice Hinkle had only the
word of the colored man against
that of the white man, so he dis.

TO
GET BUSY

r. M. Tucker, representing the
Home Telephone company, appear
ed at the city council meeting last
night and on his promising that
the company would be good in
future and go ahead with the work
of construction" the council voted
down Councilman Laumer's reso-
luton favoring the appointing of a
committee to investigate the Home
company to find out If 1t had for
feited it's franchise right by quit
ting work,
Mr.. Tucker then went on to ex-
plain to the council that the COM
pany had 100000 worth Of materi-
al in transit to this city. He neg
lected to specify when it would ar
rive.
The company, Notwithstanding
the long time it has had since the
terms Of the franchise forced it to
work, has unloaded as much as
five or six cars Of poles on it's
grounds on College avenue and has
employed some IL men.
Mr.. Tucker also said that the
company wasn't building it's sys-
tenn on paper. He failed to fur
nish evidence that it is being
built anywhere else.
