MADE A RBcoRD.-At South Gov
entry, Ct. is relic Of the old stage
coach days. in an ancient omnibus
which carries passengers from the
railway station to the village, jour
ney Of about two miles. The owner
and driver Of the bus Is one LAGOON
Robertson, familiarly known as
Lake" a slow-moving Yankee Of
quaint and original personality, who
generally "gets there" but takes his
own time any way about It, and pays
very little attention TO the various
suggestions his patrons give him.
Last summer a certain well-to-do
lady from the west was visiting in
the vicinity, and had occasion to ride
in the bus. The veteran driver did
not move fast enough to suit her
haste, and she took him to task. 1t
was day when things had not gone
smoothly with Lake" and he was
a "leetle techy," as they say up that
way. So he told her that If she would
attend to her own affairs he would
try to attend to his.
The lady felt much disturbed by
the rebuke, and told OF it when she
reached her destination.
A few days later, after the western
visitor had departed. the friend who
had entertained her said to the stage
driver: "Mr. Robertson, was sur
prised to hear how rude you were to
Mrs: the other day. She is a
lady who has travelled all over the
world, and she told me that In all
her travels she had never met any
one as rude as you!"
Lake" whipped up his horses,
took few extra whiffs of his pipe,
and then grunted out: well, it's a
good thing to have a record for some
thing!"

alarmed by the cries Of natives inhab.

out with rifles and lamps. They found
the clothes of Il native, torn and
soaked in blood. but nothing more.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
Il decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink way and seemed like he would
die.
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although l
had never used the food, we got some
INC for a few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, | raised her IN Grape-Nuts and
she Is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph | send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy Is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum

GOLF YARN BY LONCWORTH
And a Kansas Story in Return by an
Enthusiast at the

Nicholas LOngworth, of Ohio, is a
golf enthusiast who plays a good game,

San Francisco vii Rebuild.

There is an important difference be

that Of San Francisco at the present

case of San Francisco it is understood
that most of the companies a pay

to any subterfuge, though some OF
them will be hard pressed. San Fran,

even more rapidly and substantially
than Chicago was. incidentally there
will be enough to do and good pay for
every man who can work that with

No garden is complete without

Roses are more easily cared for
when grown in rows or beds than as
single specimens scattered here and
there over the place. and make a much
finer showing when in bloom. Roses
are beautiful for a comparatively short
time and do not make IN attractive
showing except during the blooming
season. For this reason a side loca-

"BOIL ALL DRINKING WATER"
Nearly Every Case of Typhoid Fever
Contracted Elsewhere

Boil all drinking water" is the
continued advice of the physicians.
and since the present hot weather be-
gan the need for the precaution has
been emphasized. DIR. w. G.. Cole,
city physician, is an earnest advocate
of the use of boiled water, and urges
all to use no other during the warm
weather at least.
While there are quite number of
cases of typhoid now in the city
nearly every case was contracted else
where. Four railroad men who were
at work repairing the track below the
city, have the disease, and three were
sent to Portland, while the fourth is
being treated at st. Anthony's hospi-
tai by DR.. Cole. Another case which
is serious at present is that of Daphne
Parkes, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Parkes. DR.. Smith being the at
tending physician. The disease was
contracted while the little girl was at
lone several weeks ago.

ment of per cent of the face value
OF policies, a fund estimated at ST.

names of fire insurance companies

at this time, and also a list of those
that do not act squarely and honestly
in the settlement of the losses for
which they are liable.
The other proposition is that here

ance policy for the use of all fire in
surance companies that do business in
/ California shall be provided by act
of the legislature of California, and
/ that such form shall be the only one
to be used in the transaction of fire

PREMIUMS AT SPOKANE.
Interstate Fair Will Be Greatly En-
larged This Year

Five thousand one hundred and
fifty dollars in premiums in the fruit
and vegetable departments are offered
this year by the Spokane Interstate
Fair, as against $3.50 offered in the
same departments last year. This
years fair opens September "a, and
will last two weeks instead of one as
heretofore, and in every way will be
more than twice as strong.
Contests between the counties will
be chief among the attractions for the
Spokane Chamber has donated s2500
for premiums to be given 10 the coun-
ties or districts making the best ex-
hibits of fruits and grains so prepar-
ed that they can be kept in a perma-
nent exhibit.
The first prize will be $1,000 cash;
the second, $500; the third. 5000; the
fourth. 5000, and the balance be d.
vided between the other counties and
districts exhibiting, and for the ex-
penses of this contest.
Besides these, the fair management
will give premiums amounting to
$500 in the fruit department Never
before have there been such liberal
prizes offered for this contest, not
even in the old days of the fruit fairs
when special attention was given to
the fruit exhibits, and when there was
great rivalry between counties and
districts.
These splendid premiums will make
the fruit department stronger than
ever before and probably will fill the
main exposition building to its fullest
capacity
