Think II Over.

During the year just closing how
many dollars have the Chicago mail
order houses contributed towards the
building of bridges or the improve
ment OF public roads in Latah county,
During the past year how much
have they assisted towards the main
tenance' or construction of a school
or a school building in this county?
How much have they paid out for
teachers and equipment?
And now that Troy needs all the
help it can get for the purpose Of put
ting in a good water system how much
stock will Shears & Sawbuck, or the
other catalogue houses take?
During the year past how many dol
lars worth of farm products have you,
Mr.. Farmer, sold to the Chicago con-
Germs? What have Montgomery Ward
& Company paid for your beans, and
how many boxes Of apples, dozens OF
chickens, or pounds OF fat pork have
they purchased from you? And in
case times get a little hard and
you are compelled to ask for a little
credit how much will these outside
firms accommodate any Of you? How
many dollars worth of groceries will
they allow you to carry home to your
hungry children even though they had
positive knowledge that your family
would starve without your assistance?
And though the mail order house
has done nothing for you and will do
nothing for either yourself or your com
munity you are propably now spending
money with them and patronizing them
in preference to the home merchant to
whom you must go for every accommo-
dation in time of distress and for every
favor in time of prosperity. We grant
that you have legal right to do these
things Just as you have legal right
TO stand on your head or walk on all
fours but the question Of whether you
have a moral right to do so is another
thing and we hope you will look at the
question from that standpoint and ser
iously think it over"

A Sad Accident.

What is an unusually sad affair oc-
cured in Palouse last Thursday, when
Adolph Frisk, whose brother was buried
here but week before, died from the
result of an accident which happened
in Camp Q, near Princeton
Thursday morning. Regarding the
matter the Palorse Republic says:
"Adolph Frisk, an employee of the
Potlatch Lumber company at camp No.
D, a short distance from Princeton,
died in the Palouse general hospital
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
from the result Of blow on the head
by falling tree. The accident occur
red just after the men went to work in
the morning and the injured boy was
brought to the hospital on the 1880
train, never regaining consciousness
after he was injured.
The only external evidences of in
Jury were slight abrasion back of the
left ear and a bruise over the left eye.
The doctors thought the case no more
than a slight conclusion of the brain,
from which he would recover in few
hours. The weakening of the pulse
shortly before he died was the only in
dication that death was approaching" "
From other sources the News has
learned that the accident was result OF
the high wind blowing at that time,
the tree falling in way not anticipated
by the men. Word was sent to Troy,
but for some reason the family did not
get it, and had no intimation of the
sad affair until the body had arrived in
Troy.
Deceased would have peen 81 the
10Th Of next March, and had resided
near Troy with his parents for the past
IS years. He was young man o.
/ good habits, frugal and industrious,
and his death is great shock to the
people here where he has been known
since babyhood. Adolph Frisk wa;
born in Minnesota, coming to Troy
with his parents eighteen years ago.
n The loss of a second son within Z
week marks this as a sorrow almost be-
yond the limit of the family to bear

As Understood by a Lawyer VIII

Hon. A. G.. levitt, lawyer, politician
and man of sarcastic wit, was once
trying case in the supreme court in
elfast, Me-, his home city. The judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench, had tried many cases against
Jewett, who did not entertain a very
high opinion of his ability, relates the
Boston Herald.
In his closing argument Jewett, in
defiance of the rules of the court,
started in to read some law to the jury.
The court pounded on the bench and
said "Mr. Jewett, you must not read
law to the jury in your closing argu-
ment." Jewett kept on reading with
out so much as a glance at the court

of the question.
Knowing the wild country full well,
the leader of the Southern army was
not to be caught so easily, and had
prepared means of giving his enemies
the slip.
All that remained now was to give
Sherman as much trouble as possible
with regard to attacks upon his sup.
ply trains.
While the Confederates were with.

of course numerous small engage.

In many instances detachments of
rival cavalry would come into close
quarters.
Battle was seldom if ever refused,
for on both sides they were fierce
fighters, and their blood ran riotously
at sight of each other.
Colonel John and his command saw
much of this warfare.
Their business was to defend the
railroad at a certain point.
There were times when all seemed
quiet along the line, and trains ran
without any trouble, bringing immense
amounts of supplies to Sherman at At

their hands full endeavoring to ward
off blows.
There was much hard riding in those
days.
1t could not be otherwise, when men
were sent whirling down the valley at
a minutes notice, to meet a column OF
Confederates deliberately engaged in
tearing up the railroad.
Then would come a hot little en-,
gagement, and finally the flight Of the
foe, after having done all the damage
that was possible.
Following the battle the troopers be.

was repaired as best could be done

SANDWICH NOT HIS PROPERTY.

Tommy Had Good Reasons for Appar-
emily Peculiar Action. E.
An urchin who occasionally ventur-
ed behind the scenes of theater on
the lower East Side of New York dur
ing rehearsals, was one day observed
by one Of the actors sitting in a cor
ner, lovingly cycling huge sandwich
which he held in his grimy hands. He
regarded it for a few moments, and
then, cautiously lifting the top layer,
extracted a piece of pickle and ate It.;
then he closed it, down again very
carefully and accurately made all as
before. A few moments later he re-
peated the performance, taking out
another piece of pickle and a small
fragment of meat, and again carefully
restoring the sandwich to its original
form. After another short interval
he took out more pickle and more
meat, so that now there was very
little of the original middle layer left,
and again he closed IL up carefully.
what are you doing that for, Tom
my?" the actor asked. That's no way
to eat a sandwich. Why don't you
eat it all if you want it, and not pick
at it like that?"
Tommy lifted a scornful eye to the
actors uncomprehending face and
muttered laconically:

game at this point-again and again
had they buffeted the pillows, hurting
themselves against the barriers that
Corse had raised, but up to this time
their desperate assaults had been de.
feated, although each engagement so
depleted the strength and resources
of the Federals that it was out of rea'
son to suppose they could hold out
much longer.
Thus, when the enemy after endur-
ing such hardships and heavy losses,
began to see the fruition of their hopes
near by, it was hard indeed to learn
that the column from Atlanta had
pierced the mountains and was near
at hand.
This news caused another assault to
be made.
1t was more desperate than any Of
those that had preceded it.
The Confederates knew their all was
staked upon this last throw.
If they could carry the fort they
might meet Sherman's column and
defy it.
Those who defended the place did
not at first understand what it meant.
They fought like brave men. but
without much hope, since the passage
of time had begun to make them de-
spair.
But even while they fought with the
desperation of despair they saw dis
tant signals against the sky.
What did they mean?
Was help near, or did this signify
some new reinforcements for the en-.
envy, already outnumbering them
many to one?
And while they read who can paint
the sudden transition from despair to
delirious Joy!

And when the news was spread
among the comparatively few who
were left of that gallant band to whom
history has never done full justice,
their shouts of Joy carried despair to
the hearts of the foemen, who had so
long endeavored to carry the fort by
repeated assaults, for they knew the
day was lost.
Inspired with the promise Of imme-
date relief, the Federal defenders Of
Altoona Pass would not yield under
any conditions.
A grave danger now menaced the
Confederate host-that Of being
caught between two fires, the upper
and the neither milestone.
It required considerable military
skill to withdraw the Confederate host

CHAPTER xxIv.-continued.

The Confederate chieftain had not
dreamed that Sherman, after taking
Atlanta, would think of turning back
to go to the assistance of his general.
Indeed, the enemy had taken all
possible precautions to keep Corse
from sending a messenger to his com.
mander.
How this had been done the men OF
the signal corps could doubtless tell.
AT any rate Sherman knew his as
sistance was needed, and indeed, he
had figured on this beforehand, and
would have sent reinforcements back
even If news had not reached his ears.
Again they traversed the trail

The danger and difficulties that con,
