By Parker

Mr.. Morehouse hesitated. He bit his
lip and then flung out his arms wildly.
Very wellp' he shouted. you shall
hear of this! Your president shall hear
of this, 1t Is an outrage. l have Of

the pigs until you are ready to take

hair of those pigs heads is harmed /

He turned and stalked out, slamming
the door. Flannery carefully lifted the
soap box from the counter and placed 1t
in a corner. He was not worried. He
felt the peace that comes to faithful
servant who has done his duty and done
| it well.
Mr.. Morehouse went home raging. His
boy, who had been awaiting the guinea
pigs, knew better than to ask him for
them. He was a normal boy and, there
| fore, always had a guilty conscience
when his father was angry. So the boy
slipped quietly around the house. There
| is nothing so soothing to a guilty con-
science as to be out of the path of the
| avenger.
Mr.. Morehouse stormed into the
| house.
where's the ink?" he shouted at his
wife as soon as his foot was across the
| door sill.
Mrs. Morehouse jumped, guiltily. She
never used ink. She had not seen the
| ink, nor moved the ink, nor thought of
the ink, but her husbands tone convict
ed her of the guilt of having borne and
reared boy and she knew that when
ever her husband wanted anything in
a loud voice the boy had been at it.
'Ill find Sammy" she said. meekly.
When the ink was found Mr.. More

completed letter and smiled triumph
ant smile.
THAT will settle that crazy Irish
man!' he exclaimed. when they get
that letter he will hunt another job, all
rightv'
A week later Mr.. Morehouse received
long official envelope with the card
of the Interurban Express company in
the upper left corner. He tore il open
eagerly and drew out sheet of paper.
At the top it bore the number A6754.
The letter was short. 'Subiect-Rate

We are in receipt of your letter regard
ing rate on guinea pigs between Frank
lin and Westcote, addressed to the pres
ident of this company. All claims for
Overcharge should be addressed to the
claims department"
Mr. Morehouse wrote to the claims
department. He wrote six pages Of
choice sarcasm, vituperation and argu-
ment, and sent them to the claims de-
partment
A few weeks later he received a reply
from the claims department. Attached
to 1t was his last letter.

you refused to receive the consignment
or to pay the charges. You have there
fore no claim against this company, and

the consignment should be addressed TO

Mr.. Morehouse write to the tariff de-
partment. He stated his case clearly
and gave his arguments i'm full, quoting
a page or two from the encyclopedia to
prove that guinea pigs were not COM
mon pigs.

Mike Flannery, the Westcote agent of
the Interurban Express company,
leaned over the counter of the express
office and shook his fist. Mr.. More
house, angry and red, stood on the 9TH
er side of the counter, trembling with
rage. The argument had been long and
heated. and at last Mr.. Morehouse had
talked himself speechless. The cause OF
the trouble stood on the counter be-
tween the two men. It was a soap box
across the top of which We're nailed a
number of strips. forming a rough but
serviceable cage. In it two spotted
guinea pigs We're greedily eating lettuce

He turned and walked back and forth
rapidly, frowning ferociously. Sudden
ly he turned to Flannery, and forcing
his voice TO an artificial calmness spoke
slowly. but with intense sarcasm.

WASHINGTON, June 30. - President
Roosevelt tonight, on the adjournment of

trlotism have right to feel "a profound
satisfaction in the entire course of this

Ticks Cause spotted Fever.

brought down from Copper mountain a few
days ago suffering with spotted fever, Is
dead. The disease resulted from the bites
OF woodticks, which are unusually numer-

Gently made that when ones system be-
comes thoroughly illed with the poison
from woodticks there is little chance of
ones recovery. The ticks are deadly
poison. In parts OF Idaho and Montana,
and especially in the Bitter Root country
in the latter state. the bites OF woodticks
are fatal in many cases, the victim usually
being taken down with spotted fever.
