SAVED. BY THE CONDITIONS

Last summer there was tried at Chi
cago a breach of promise suit that
awakened much interest In legal cir
cles by reason of the ingenious means
taken by counsel for the defendant to
secure a verdict for his client. Coun-
sci for the plaintiff had begun to read
what was alleged to be the proposal
of marriage on the part of the defend
ant. This so-called proposal appeared
on telegraph blank. Turning to the
jury counsel began with my darling
Marie" At this juncture counsel for
the defendant interrupted his col
league at the bar.
MAY 1t please the court, this docu-
ment, being partly printed and partly
written, cannot, by the rules of evil
dence be offered in part by plaintiff.
Everything on the blank must be
read"

RESTING Period One of Profit.

The man who fails to appreciate the
value of recreation is making a great
mistake. Attention to business and
devotion to duty are essential to sue
cess in this strenuous age, but that
fact is in itself the most eloquent plea
for season of rest; a breathing spell
so that the high tension methods of
to-day will not wear us out before our
time. II the everyday pace was more
moderate there would be less urgent
need of rest. 1t is the pace we are
keeping time to in business In this
age that makes vacation imperative.
Exhaustion results in not only tempo
rary but permanent loss of vital
force. The rest period is often the
profit period in busy mans life. No
machine can run necessarily without
repairs and the vacation time is tine
repair time In the great scheme of
human economy.-Four Track News.

FRESHMAN OF THE PAST

At an election before the union,
Dick Martin was opposed by Giles
Eyre of Eyecourt, territorial mag
nate and thorough sportsman, re-
rowned alike for his reckless extray-
agances and daredevil bravery, says
Blackwood's Magazine. He was, how
ever, totally illiterate, a circumstance
less regarded then than at the pres
emit time. The hastings in those days
used to be erected in Eyre square, In
Galway, sufficiently close to each 9TH
er to enable the rival candidates for
popular favor to exchange banter and
ether sallies of wit. Advancing to the
front of his booth with folded paper
in his hand, Dick Martin exclaimed:
Il declare solemnly, before all here
assembled, that am willing this mo-
rent to retire from this contest and
to allow Col. Eyre to be returned un-
opposed il he will only sign this dec
laration which hold In my hand"
This, however, 1t was not possible
for Giles Eyre to do-not from any
dissent to the views set forth In the
document in question, but because, as
Dick Martin was well aware, he was

totally unable to write his own name.
Lord Clanricarde was at that time
colonel of the Galway militia, and
Giles Eyre filled the post of lieutenant
colonel. He had, however, not much
more acquaintance with drill than he
had with reading and writing. A gen.
eral officer having on one occasion
come down from Dublin on a tour OF
inspection, Giles Eyre had to put the
regiment through its facings before
him. In five minutes he had reduced
the regiment to absolute chaos, no
man knowing which was his front nor
in which direction he was expected
to advance.
Devil take you. sir!" roared the In
specting officer, black with fury. Who
made you lieutenant colonel?"
mo one made me lieutenant colo
nel." Giles Eyre returned, haughtily.
Il should not allow myself to be made
a lieutenant colonel by anyone. was
born so.'
Nor was this an idle boast, for chill
dren were frequently appointed to
high military posts while still in their
cradles.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar TO- the above greet US In the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness OF the American people has strong
tendency to lead. up to vaIvular and other
affections OF the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent Ingredients Of
which DIR. Plerce's Golden Medical Dis
covery 10 made are recommended by some
Of the leading writer's on Matcrt0 Medtc0
for the cure OF just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, Is said by tho

Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system In general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM

ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient

other affections Of the heart are con-

WHY HE HAD REMEMBERED

1t Is generally the unusual thing
which is the easiest to remember
but it seldom happens that exactly
the same elements in any situation are
most unusual or most striking to any
two onlockeTs. A man who has trav-
eled many times up and down the
Mississippi stood on the levee at Cape
Girardeau, Mo-, one noontime, wait.
ing for the arrival of downbound

ger stepped up and accosted him.
Pardon me, suh," he said. "You

remember me-"
Doubtless If you will recall the
circumstances l shall do So" said the
other.

EXPENSE OF PASTE DIAMONDS.
Material from Which Imitation Gems

Material from Which Imitation Gems
Are Made 10 Not Cheap.
Paste" from which imitation
precious stones are made, is widely
known, but few are acquainted with
the ingredients, though 1t is generally
understood that the paste gains its
brilliancy from the lead it contains.
Formulas vary for the paste, but
all contain rock crystal, red lead, car
Donate of potash, borax and white ar
senic.
1t is required that these articles
shall be of higher grade of purity,
as there Is a considerable waste, so
that the gems made from "strass," as
the composition Is technically known,
are by no means inexpensive.
A paste diamond cannot scratch
glass and is thus easily detected, but
colored stones are made of crystal
alone that are considerably harder
than glass.
In the making of these a crystal
stone is followed out and filed with
some colored liquid, the orifice being
closed with plug of crystal, which is
ground down so that there is no trace
OF the junction.-New York Herald.

Joke That Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had JUS returned
from vacation spent at tiny village
on the Maine coast IN recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit OF a cousin, quiet per-
son, who vas visiting her city relative
for tie first time in many years.
There was just one store in the
place" said Miss Adelbert, land they
kept everything that is, everything
they had to keep.
"One day went to buy some soap,
and just on venture l asked the
clerk If they had Browning. He stared
at me second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
Presently he came back and said,
No, miss, we amt got none. We got
backing, an we got BLUM, an we
got whiting, but we amt got bit o.
browning in the store"
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the
cousin asked, gravely, But cousin
Bert, why didn't you say varnish in
the first place. youths Companion.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.


to the Public.
The story Of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand In Ameri-
ca became known to the people Is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor of
the hand was with some friends In
photographers one day and while
talking, held up a piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph 1t. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept In
the family until one day, after read
ing letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr.. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive SO
many inquiries of this kind, that 1t Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let. the advertis-
ytising department have that picture
tof your hand to print and name 1t "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him In preparation of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
OF extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts,
SO the picture appeared On the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the. world.
The advertising dept. of the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name Of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later In one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver-
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration Of
the. interest the public takes in the
personal and family life Of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements In
newspapers and periodicals.

Famous Political Proqnosticator.

AS a political prognosticator Major
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk Of the
house, is reckoned without a peer in
his end of the capitol building in
Washington. He called the nomina-
tion of Mckinley in 1896 and Parker
in 1904. He picked Reed for speaker
in the fifty-fourth congress and Reeds
successors in the chair-Henderso
and Cannon. He has also been sue
cessful in calling the turn in state
nominations In Pennsylvania, and as
the major halls from the keystone
state he comes mighty near knowing
all the ms and outs of Pennsylvania
politics. The other day Major Nc
Dowell was asked IL he could name
the man to lead the Democrats in
1908. With good-natured smile he
answered: "Why not ask me who
wrote the Beautiful Snow'?"

WAS FARMERS LUcKy DAY

Chris Hahn, of this county, whose
postoffice address Is Leseuer, had
great stroke of luck last week result
ing from a serious accident.
He was driving home, and, to short
en- the journey, turned from the high
way and took short cut across Pea
nut Lake. Just before he reached the
opposite shore, however, the ice broke
and the team and sled were precipi-
tated into the water, which, fortunate
ly, was only about five feet deep where
the sled went down and still shallower
where the team was.
The horses were quiet and did not
plunge about, but were unable to climb
out over the ice with the sled attached
to them. Hahn promptly dove down
into the water back of the horses,
pulled out the pin that held the double
tree to the tongue, dove into the sleigh
box and got an ak, with which he cut
out some of the ice in front of the
horses. The team then was able to
climb out and we're driven to Hahn to
neighbours barn and well blanketed.
After Hahn had changed his clothes
and had taken few drinks of hot
homemade wine at his neighbours, he
borrowed team, and, going back to
the lake, cut path through the ice to
the shore, fastened long chain to the
end of the sled tongue and hauled the.
sled out on land.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1906-03-16

When he did so a great and happy
surprise was vouchsafed him, for the
high, double sleigh box, weighted down
as it fortunately had been with cou-
pie of bundles of fence wire, had not
fioated or the runners but had re-
NAMED submerged beneath the water,
and, while in that position, had been
filled almost completely full OF hne
pickerel, pike and black bass that had
swarmed In from the deeper portions
of the lake to get breath of fresh
air at the opening made when the
team broke through.
The weight of the load Of fish ex-
ceeded ton, and Hahn made a fine
profit out of the accident the next day,
which was Friday, for he brought the
load into town and sold it all In a
short time at cents a pound, netting
profit to himself of over 800, after
paying Paul F. Block and Herman
Weckworth for their services as auc-
tioneer and clerk, respectively.
Although the fish were caught In
such manner that it would have been
unlawful to take them In that way II
it had been done Intentionally, the
fact that the catch was made by acct
dent took the case entirely out OF the
jurisdiction of the game warden, who
promptly decided that he had nothing
to do with 1t, and he was one of the
heaviest buyers at the sale.-Leseuer
