WHEN NOT TO KICK.

When you get a bad shave or hair
cut. Neither lasts long.
When you find you're going to die
poor. They haven't begun making
pockets in shrouds yet.
When your health goes back on you.
Life isn't very long, anyway, and a
healthy man dies just as dead as a
sick one.
When you discover a mean streak in
your neighbor. He has to stay with
that mean streak day and night, and
you don't.
When you can't pay all your debts at
once. Your creditors would a great
deal rather get the money in driblets
than not at all.
When you have had a bad meal set
before you. You may get over it be-
fore the next meal even if you eat it,
and you don't have to eat it.
When your wife isn't in good humor.
She is partially balancing the books
against some Of your numerous dis.
agreeable spells that you never make
note of.-Chicago News

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.


The Danish Colonial lottery, which
is dong a big business now hasa
large patronage from both Sweden
and Norway as we'll as Germany.
There are not many who win any
large sums, but it happens once in a
while that some one makes a haul.
On the other hand there are lots of
poor laboring men who are thus
squandering their money, winning
small sums at times perhaps, just
enough to encourage them to play
again, hut in the long run they be-
come the losers and the Danish Coloni-
al lottery keeps on, meantime, to en-
rich its treasury. It has government
protection, however, SO complaints
against the lottery are of no avail.
Copenhagen's population is rapidly
increasing and will soon reach the
5OO:OO mark. Noticeable is the rapid
Increase in the Swedish population.

An InSeniOus RuSe

Herodotus tells of an ingenious ruse
employed to carry an important mes
sage through the lines Of the enemy.
Histiaeus, being anxious to give Aris-
tagoras orders to revolt, could think of
no means to send the message to his
ally, as all the roads were carefully
guarded. Finally he hit upon a scheme.
Calling his trustiest servant to him, he
ordered that the mans hair be shaven
OF. He then pricked the desired mes
sage on the scalp Of the slave and,
waiting until his hair had grown out,
dispatched him upon the errand. The
messenger passed safely through the
lines, and when he reached Aristagoras
his head was again shaved and the

A Queer old Legend of the City OF
.a--ss---. Mexico. ,r<,

Queer Old Legend of the City Of
>.--.'s7 Mexico. .rzs
As is generally known, senior, many
bad things are met with at night in
the streets Of the city, but this wailing
woman, La Llorona, is the very worst
of them all. She is worse by far than
the Vaca de Lumbre, that at midnight
comes forth from the potrero of San
Sebastian and goes galloping through
the streets like blazing whirlwind,
breathing forth from her nostrils smoke
and flames, because the fiery COW, Sc
nor, while a dangerous animal to look
at, really does nobody any harm, and
La Llorona is as harmful as she
can be.
Seeing her walking along quietly
at the times when she is not running
and shrieking for her lost children
she seems a respectable person, only
odd looking because Of her white skirt
and the white reboso with which her
head is covered, and anybody might
speak to her. But whoever does speak
to her in that very same moment dies!
No one who has stopped her to talk
with her ever has lived to tell what
happens at that terrible encounter, but
it is generally known that what does
happen is this: Slowly she turns to-
ward the one who has spoken, and
slowly she opens the folds of her white
reboso, and then is seen bare grin
ming skull set fast to a bare skeleton,
and from her feshless jaws comes one
single icy cold breath that freezes into
instant death whoever feels it. After
that, shrielzing again for her lost chill
dren, she rushes onward, the white
CLEAN Of her gashing the darkness, and
in the morning the one who spoke to
her is found lying dead there with a
look Of despairing horror frozen fast
in his dead eyes. .-
What is most wonderful is that she
is seen in the same hour by different
people in places widely apart, one see
ing her hurrying across the atrium of
the cathedral, another beside the ARGOS
de San Cosme and a third near the
Salto del Augua, over by the prison OF
Belen, and all in the very same mo.
ment Of time.
She is so generally known, senior, and
so greatly feared that nowadays few
people stop her to speak with her, and
that is fortunate. But her loud, keen
wailings and the sound Of her running
feet are heard often and especially on
nights Of storm. I myself have heard
them, senior, but I have never seen her
God forbid that ever shall!-Thomas

The First ScapeEoat.

The word "scapegoat'' originated in
an ancient Hebrew custom practiced
at the feast Of the Passover. Placing
a young goat upon the altar, the priests
would pray over it, asking that all the
Sins OF the people be visited upon the
goat. Then, after each member of the
tribe had transferred his guilt to the
victim by laying on his hands. the an
imal was turned loose in the forests to
be devoured by the wild beasts.

Perfumes.

Perfumes exercise a peculiar influ-
ence over ones nervous system. A
faint, subtle odor is nearly always en-
ervating, while pungent, rich per-
fume often has bracing effect. Civet
induces drowsiness, faint breath Of
musk invigorates and the perfume of
the aloe and the citron is positively
soothing and comforting. The delicate,
spicy odors Of pinks, carnations, apple
blossoms and sweetbrier are thought
to be beneficial.

SHOOTING ON
SALMON RIVER
Grover Davis Uses Revolver on VIII
liam He'll.
TROUBLE OYER CONTESTED LAND.
Claim Shooting Was Done in
Self Defense.

Grover Davis, son OF T. E.
Davis, the we'll known sheepman,
reached here yesterday after
noon and gave himself into
custody Of the sheriff, saying that
he had shot VIM. He'll, on Salmon
river, about 20 miles from this
place. The young man is only
about 90 years old and was SO ex.
cited that it was hard to get de-
tailed account Of the affair.
The trouble is Of long standing
and grew out of a land contest
which has not yet been decided.
Some time ago T. E. Davis pur-
chased claim Of Henry Hester
man and when it was surveyed a
portion Of the fence was found to
be on this contested land. Accord
ing to Grover Davis story he was
removing a portion Of this fence,
yesterday forenoon, when about 10
O'Clock He'll and another man
rode up and both drawing guns
ordered young Davis to return a
post he was carrying off. This'h
refused to do when He'll told him
if he did not he would kill him.
With this Davis drew q Luger
automatic revolver and began
shooting, firing six shots, He'll
was only about 80 feet away and
fell to the ground. His companion
aud man who was blowing near
by ran to the wounded man and
told Davis to 60 for a doctor, which
he did reaching here about 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon. This is Davis
story and about all that can bt
learned at present. The trouble
occurred on Rice creek six or sever
miles below White Bird on the
Salmon river.
As we go to press, this morning
a telephone message was received
from White Bird saying that Heb
was still alive though badly wound
ed. He is shot through the sto
mach and the wound is though
will prove fatal.

RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION
Men From the East to Work on the
GfanSeVille Line.
Big FORCE FOR CANYON SECTION
Work Also Commenced on
Riparia-Wallula Branch.

Construction work on the N. P.
road from Culdesac to Grangeville
seems to be progressing steadily
and while all would like to see
little more rush in the extension
there is nothing discouraging in the
situation. Sundays Tribute sums
up the work as follows:
Yesterday 48 Italians, shipped
out direct from st. Paul for work
on the Culdessc- Grangeville road,
reached Spaulding and were later
taken to Culdesac in special train
which was run out OF Lewiston by
Conductor Bates. The men will
be placed on heavy tunnel work in
the canyon. A second crew of Ital-
ians who had been engaged on
work for the Lewiston- -Sweetwater
company, departed Saturday for
Culdesac and they will also engage
in tunneling. It seems to be the
policy of the contractors to con-
centrate all the initial forces on
the canyon section of the road,
but as soon as the camps there are
filled, the work will be taken up
on the prairie section. As an in.
dication OF the heavy character Of
the work to be handled in the can.
yon, it is stated that the entire
prairie section OF the grade will
be ready for the rails by the date
the steels is laid to the summit out
of Culdesac.
1t was reported scme time ago
the contractors had decided to &c
east for laborers on account of the
inadequate supply in the west, and
it is understood that the shipment
OF men reaching Culdesac yester.
day is the first Of several that will
be on the ground within the next
two or three weeks.
| A message received last night by
the Tribune from Riparia stated
that the Northern Pacific survey
ors have commenced cross section
ing at that point for the road to bt
built from Riparia to Wallula and
which will connect With the Lewis
ton. Riparia joint line. The sur
veyors are building permanent
quarters and plan to be stationed
there for year, this fact indi
eating the time necessary to com
plete the road. The contractor
will reach Riparia tomorrow to es
tablish the first construction camps
