there is yet time to mold him into the
proper form for future keeping.
wouli admonish all brides, there
fore, to obey their own blind instincts
and to train up their husbands in the
way they should go. Mere man thinks
he knows something and he is inclined
to act upon this fatal assumption toe
often.
The bride, however, does not know
she diyines, and she should hold him
sternly fast to her intuition. selecting
for him the things that he needs-or
doesn't-feeding him on the things that
are good for him-or are not-takine
him to the places where he is anxious
to go-or isn't-and, in short doing for
him all the things that he likes--or
doesn't like--in the firm assurance that
her own sweet incompetence is by far
the best guide.

A Veteran.

A member OF the bar OF Baltimore
relates how a witness In a trial suit
in that city once got back" at the
lawyer who had been endeavoring to
rattle" the witness by a severe cross
examination
At certain point in the proceedings
the witness suddenly interrupted the
cross-examining lawyer by exclaiming
Look here! You needn't think you
kin rattle me by askin' all them ques
tions."
"No?" was the sarcastic rejoinder.
NO. Street" came in emphatic tone
from the refractory witness. 'Your
questions don't bother me at all. I've
raised three sons an two grandsons
an I've been in training a good many
years. "-Harper's Weekly.

Four Officials of state Life Drew
$4,000 Each in 1905.
The investigation of the State Life In
surance Company by the Auditor OF state
is said to have disclosed the fact that
the four principal officers of the company
had drawn triple salaries in l9o3--as
officers, as directors and as members or
the executive committee-the three aggre-
eating $4,000 yearly for each man. The
practice was discontinued at the begin
ming of the present year, when the reve'a-
tons in the New York insurance inyes-
tigation created a furore. The men who
are alleged TO have drawn the triplicate
salaries in 1905 were Andrew NJ. Swee-
ncy, president of the company; Samuel
Quinn, vice president and agency man
ager; charles +. Coffin, general counsel.
and W. s. Wynn, secretary and actuary-
Each received a salary Of $4,000 that
went with his Office. and in addition sal
aries of $500 and $500. one as director
of the company and the other as mem
Der of the executive committee. All of
these men are said TO have admitted that
they had received these three salaries dur
ing 1907.

Woman and the Church.


"Take woman's treatment by the
Christian church. says The woman's
Home Companion. To-day it is easy
to understand why many women have
half deserted church work for club
work, inasmuch as for centuries men
did all the preaching and women most
of the practicing, largely through mis-
sionary societies devoted to heather on
the other side of the earth.
.This religious record was most Sec
ular, to say the least. The council of
Macon, composed of fifty-nine bishops,
seriously considered whether woman
had a soul. but by a majority of one
decree6 that she had. Later one Chris
tian sect declared that woman would
have to be transformed into a man be-
fore she could be resurrected. Then
the saints called her all sorts of vitu-
perative names. st. Bernard said that
woman was the organ of the devil st.
Cyprian characterized her as the in
strument oe the devil ST John Da-
mascene denounced her as the daughter
of falsehood. and st. Gregory the Great
said, Woman has the poison of the asp,
the malice of the dragon st. Paul's
milder edict, 1t is a shame for wonr-
an to speak in the church. has until
lately prevented the fair sex from Sc
curing any representative within the
scored precincts. She was not permitted
to sing in the choirs or to speak in the
pulpit To-day the only church which
recognizes the absolute equality of men
and women is the Orthodox Friends.
though the recent establishment of the
house of churchwomen' by the Episco-
pal church is a step toward universal
religious equality"

When a woman marries she under
takes certain duties and should fill
then to the very best of her abilities
says the Philadelphia Press.
Marriage was never intended to be
one sided, though this fact seems often
times TO be overlooked; but it takes two

On her part she should try and spend
her husbands funds TO the very best ad
vantage. Never to get into debt.

Never to allow any waste in the

Always to be clothed becomingly and
according to her station.

What the Hair Tells.
Auburn hair means kindly, sympa
thetic nature.
Straight hair indicates more power
to govern than curly hair.
Curls denote feeble sense of right
and wrong. gayety, yivacity, self-eonti
dence.
Straight black hair, growing coarse
and thick. indicates more order and in
dustry than mental power.
Fine brown hair only accompanie.
eAceiient MINUS, xeneraliy tue owner

Hair and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustworthiness
They bespeak a wavering, unsteady ma
ture
Red hair is strongly Characteristic
no halfway business there. 1t usually
indicates quick temper, though there
are exceptions.
Beautiful golden hair Is rarely seer
on persons of gross nature. Its owner
loves fine arts and possesses exquisite
sensibilities.
AS rule, smooth, fine. softly waving
hair betokens gentleness, quietness
neatness. Unduly sleek. straight hal
gives warning of slyness, hypocrisy.

Mountain of Iron.

Forests surely could not grow on the
back Of the mountain of iron in the
state of Durango, Mexico. 1t is called
the most remarkable mountain In the
world and claims clear title to the
name by its 1900 feet of height, its
three-quarters Of mile Of thickness
at the base and its almost entirely sol
i'd iron substance. Naturally the iron
manufacturers have been dreaming Of
the fortunes it holds in its big peck
cts and of the way in which they could
dive and delve into them. They have
tried to lease the mountain to work it,
but until recently have been refused
by the Mexican government. The ore
obtained from the iron mountain is
said to yield about 81 per cent pure
iron.

Machine Printa Tickets.

The tesserOgraph has been invented
by Roberto Taeggi Piscelli Of Florence,
Italy, to do away with the present
practice whereby thousands of tickets
for all stations are printed in advance
and kept in stock and also to register
automatically the amounts cashed. The
machine prints each separate ticket in
one operation from strip of thick pa
per, the ticket issued bearing the name
of the issuing station, the destination,
date of issue, ticket number, class
kind, price, the cOmpany's monogram
ETC., and on the diverse any service in
dication or commercial advertisement
as may be most suitable to each com
pany. An exact duplicate is issued
simultaneously for checking purposes.
The machine can print 400 different
kinds of tickets. No tickets can be
issued until the inspector In charge on
opening the ticket Office in the Norn
ing has freed the machine and, as the
case may be, has brought back all the
totals to zero.

HAS MONSTER WHEAT CROP
George DrumheIIer Has Yield of $780,
900 Bushels Valued at Not Less
Than $4,000.

Approximately 100000 bushels OF
wheat, worth at the present price,
$4,000 is what George Drumheller,
Walla Walla county's biggest and most
successful farmer, will have to sell
when he finishes harvesting some 5000
acres of land he is farming this year.
Mr.. Drumheller who was in Walla
Walla yesterday estimated that his
yield this year would average 20
bushels to the acre. Before the con-
tinued drought in June and the hot
spell in July Mr.. Drumheller figured
on a 25-bushel crop.
1T might have been worse" Mr..
Drumheller philosophically said when
speaking of crop damages this year
Farmers are not making any big
amount of money this year but still
they will not lose any. Climatic con-
ditions were decidedly unfavorable dur
ing the growing period when &C
counts for the shrinkage in the yield.
Mr.. DrumhelIer is working several

at least three weeks to finish harvest

Young Man of Idaho City Found Un-
conscious in Middle of the
Road.

IDAHO CITY, Aug. 16.-Walter D.
Galbreaith, son of Walter S. Galbreaith
proprietor of the Luna House and one
of the best known men in the state, is
lying in a semi conscious condition and
it is thought there is but slight hope
OF his recovery. He is the victim Of a
mysterious accident
Young Galbreaith had been hauling
posts into town with a four horse team.
At 6 o'clock in the evening the team
came in with load without its driver.
Several men started back along the
road over which the load had come
and at a point zoe yards from the
west city limit found the apparently
dead body of Galbreaith in the center
of the road. Tracks in the road gave
the impression that the boy had been
dragged for so or 80 feet Blood was
found on the hub and spoke of one
wheel and it was at first believed that
tue wheel had run over him. The boy
had bad cut above the right eye and
serious bruises on the left temple and
nose.
