a SATISFYING STORY.
1t Worked Both Ways In Behalf q
the Congressman.

Some years ago there came to Wash.
1ngton d representative in congress
from iowa who was an ardent cham.
pion Of the cause of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see the congressman. During the
course Of his stay he had occasion to
use his pocketknife, which the repre-
sentative much admired. This knife
had in it hook, designed" so the
friend said, ito remove stones that
might become fastened in horses
hoOf on rocky road" Finally, seeing
the intense admiration of the congress-
man for the knife, the friend gave it to
him. When the statesman had reached
home and had shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
John" said she "any man who has
served three terms in the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms in congress must be a pretty
good man if he doesn't know a cham
payne opener from a hoof cleaner"
Somehow the story got out and was
copied by nearly every newspaper in
Iowa. One day the congressman met
the newspaper man whom he under
stood to be the author Of the first sQuib
IN the matter.
"1ou did me a great service" smil-
ingly said the representative to the
correspondent. "All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my ig
norance, and all the 'antis' are insist.
ing that I'm a devil of good fellow
for imposing so successfully on my
wife. 1t works in my behalf which
ever way you take it." - Saturday

Georgia Anxious to Have Scene Of
Mimic Battles.
SENATORS and CONGRESSMAN BUSY
Army Maneuvers If Held This Yea.
Will Be of Greater Magnitude
Than Ever.

ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 9.-The people
of Georgia are very anxious that their
state be chosen as the battle-ground for
the mimic battles of the army maneuv-
ers to be held this year. The last
army maneuvers on a large scale were
held in Virginia in 1904. They surpassed
in magnitude any army maneuvers
ever held in this country, and there
were about thirty thousand troops en-
gagged in the various operations. 1t is
believed that the maneuvers this year,
if they are held at all, will be on
larger scale even than those held in
Virginia. For that reason the people
of Georgia are working with great en-
! ergy, to nave their state selected as
the battle ground.
1t is still doubtful whether congress
will make an appropriation for holding
such maneuvers, but to be prepared
| for any emergency, the Georgia COZ
gressmen have been urged and petit
| ton to use their utmost efforts to have
| the maneuvers neld in this state, and
should Georgia be selected for that
| purpose. it would mean a great deal to
the state 1t would attract a large
number of people to the state, who are
anxious to get a glimpse Of the war
like operations. The war department
always invites the governors of the
adjacent states to these maneuvers and
requests them to send troops to parti-
cipate in them, the only condition being
that the states assume all expense at
tacned to the movement and mainten-
ance Of their troops The pressure
brought to bear upon the war depart
ment by congressman and senators
usually decides the state where the
maneuvers will be held and as the
western states nave had several N
former year years, it is believed that
Georgia stands a good show to be Sc
lected if any maneuvers are held.
These maneuvers are always held ii
the fall, after the crops have been har-
vested, in order to cause as little loss
as possible to the farmers. The gov
eminent invariably pays for actual
damage done.

He Made Sure.

A story is told of the Sudan rail
way which shows patient literalness.
To an official there came the telegram
from an outlying station: Station
master has died. Shall l bury him ?''
The reply was sent: Eyes; bury sta
ton master, but please make sure he
is really dead before you do So" In
due time back came the message:
"Have buried station master. Made
sure he was dead by hitting him twice
on the head with fish plate" There
was perfect assurance that there had
been no premature burial.

No TRAIL Of
ROBBERS

Harry Draper and his blood
hounds accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Jim Hone, left in an auto
mbile this morning for Cheney,
Wash, on advices received from
Marshal Abe Browne of Cheney,
who said that he had chased two
men to the railroad depot at an
early hour and prevented them
from boarding the train. They
gave him the slip and fled toward
the brush, exchanging shots as
they ran.
During their flight they dropped
grip.
Browne suspected them of being
implicated in the robbing of the
postoffice there Wednesday night.
This afternoon the officers ac-
companied by Postmaster Spangle
searched the brush for trail of the
criminals.

WOULD GIVE FIVE MILLION
TO BE CURED Of LEPR0Sy

Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 2.-Like
King Midas Of old, J. M. Bringas,
age 40, Mexican mining magnate,
dare not touch his dearest ones.
Gold is heaped on every side of
him-his gold-but contact with
him is a curse. Senior Bringas is
a leper.
Senior Bringas for rs years has
been deserted by all but his family.
Yet his two beautiful daughters
know not his fatherly caress and
his wife is denied his kiss. The
humblest peon on the vast estate
fondles his loved ones, but to this
millionaire it Is forbidden. He is
unclean with leprosy.
The Mexican knows that the
disease Is incurable. He has spent
million dollars in vain, but in
desperation, he offers 100000 to
anybody who will cure him.
After seeking relief everywhere
in Mexico, he is now in Europe, ap-
pealing to the great specialists Of
the old world.
They would not sell him a ticket
at Guaymas, so he bought train.
He purchased private car, fitted
it elegantly and then hired his own
locomotive and engineer.
But another obstacle was en-.
countered. To get to Veracruz or
any other port to take a steamer,
he would have to pass through the
United States. The bars are up
against lepers everywhere, poor
and rich alike.
Finally, however, the United
States marine hospital service con-
sented to let him enter this coun-
try at Nogales, Ariz., terminus of
the Sonora railroad, and travel
through Arizona and New Mexico
to Ell Paso, and reenter Mexico, if
the Mexican government would
agree in advance to take him back.
This was arranged, and then the
marine hospital service saw to it
that the millionaire went through
in strict quarantine. The passage
was like that of a funeral train
silent and gloomy. The wife and
daughters were aboard with Brin-
gas, but kept themselves secluded.
At the port of Veracruz Bringas
engaged cabin passage, new car
pets, new rugs, new furniture and
everything new to be installed in

DEATH BEATS
DOCTOR

p. H. Dobson, an old man, went
into the Owl drug store about 3
O'Clock this morning and requested
the services of a doctor. The
clerk called up Coroner Witter
who directed that the man be look
ed after until he arrived. A few
minutes later the clerk noticed that
the old man was dead. On being
searched by the coroner a shipping
receipt for box shipped by him
from Standpoint, Idaho, to Spokane
was found, together with some
prescriptions for cramps.
