The Abiding

Pain and pleasure both decay,
Wealth and poverty depart;
Wisdom makes longer stay,
Therefore, be thou wise, my heart.
Land remains not. nor do they
Who the lands today control.
Kings and princes pass away,
Therefore, be thou fixed, my SOUL
If by hatred, love or pride
Thou art shaken, thou art wrong;
Only one thing will abide,
Only goodness can be strong.

PIumInq Our Feathers.

Idaho scenery surpasses that OF
Switzerland. Lofty mountains,
rugged ranges, snow-covcred peaks,
picturesque canyons, together with
blue skies, more blue than the Ital-
ian skies, make picture beautiful
to behold. The light, wholesome
atmosphere which accompanies this
picture is a delight to breathe and
a tonic to the physical being. The
fertile valleys produce the dollars
to pay the expenses of enjoying
these pleasures and benefits, and
the steady increase in values make
real estate, both improved and I'M
improved, attractive to the investor.
Thousands of people have been
restored to health by the health
giving properties of atmosphere and
sunshine of this region. These are
especially beneficial to all forms
of pulmonary troubles, bronchitis
and catarrh. In fact a change from
the lower levels to this higher alti'
tude is beneficial to almost all all
mcnts, except extreme cases o.
heart troubles.
The climate of Idaho is unsur
passed and Incompatible with tina
of any other state in the Union.

Anarchist Hartman.

Under the headline Anarchist |
Hartman, the Chicago Record |
Herald prints this editorial:
''Mr. Hartman appeared on the
witness stand as the typical an
archist of the swollen fortune. He
announced in effect that he always
had acted and always would act on
the rule
That they should take who have
the power,
And they should keep who can.
''This sums up his whole conccp-
ton of life. He admitted that he
might be restrained and coerccd by
law, but made it clear that he was
intolcrant of the law. In the words
of lowly Chicago anarchist who
spent some time where many an
archists of high finance ought to be,
he would stab the law and throttle
it if he had the chance. Such is
one impression lett by his testi-
mony. Another is that with all
his show of alcrtnss he was sing
ularly obtusc in a matter that is
Just now of supreme Importance to
himself and his associates. This
man who should be making every
effort to placate the public stupidity
irritatcd old wounds. Thousands
of people who read his testimony
have felt the desire to club him.

legislative scheme for cnrtailing the
power and diminishing the profits
of great corporations. An army OF
ranting demagogues spouting
through many campaigns could not
do as much to incite voters against
corporate wealth as he did in his
brief exhibition of arrogance, greed
and utter insensibility to the rights
of others.
LAS a result of this brilliant
performance we may expect re-
newcd difficulty in preventing
reckless, discriminating attack:
on capital. Naturally the people
do not pause to make nice distinc
tions or even fair distinctions
They know that Hartman and the
Rockefeller cotcric with which ant
for which he acts control the largcs
railroad system in the country
They know that they are reaching
out in every direction and adding
monopoly to monopoly with thei
enormous profits. They know tina
their methods are initiated b
others of their kind, and with thei
minds inflamed as they are thci
first thought is of rough retaliation
in which the innocent may suffe
with the guilty. 1t is to be hoped
as we have repeatedly indicated
that this fever may be checked /
spite of such irritating anarchists q
Hartman, but if the people need
warning so do the railroad mag
mates. They cannot afford

They must meet the people ha

Song of the Open
Richard Henry Stoddard.

Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR?
Has your greeting lost its cheer?
Is your daily stunt burden
Is your laughter half snecr?
There's a medicine to cure you,
There's way to lift your load,
With a horse and saddle and mile of open road
Is your eyeball growing biliouse
Is your temper getting short9
Is this life a blind deusion,
Or a grim, unlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty,
There's a help that cannot fail,
In a day behind the burros
On a dusty mountain trail.
Come out old man, we're going
To land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies are resting
On snowy mountain marge
When we camp in Gods country

LOST s45 ON RACES.
Season at Naugatuck Driving Club Not
Financially Successful.

NN~~~~@NS%N~As
Naugatuck, Aug AT a meeting
Of the Naugatuck Valley Driving asso-
citation last evening a report of the fl
nances was read. This showed that the
races given at the Driving park last
Tuesday were not a success financially
and that the association lost about $45.
This was not Encouraging, as it was
felt that the association is gradually
reviving interest in horse racing
through the valley and consequently it
was voted to give the next race meet
on the local track Saturday, August
"a,
President William F. Jones reported
on the possibility of having the metro
politan meet which is scheduled for
Orangeburg, N. ", the latter part of
this month, transferred to this city.
This arrangement has been virtually
promised by James Donovan of
Bridgeport, who is at the head of the
metropolitan racing circuit, and
would mean that many fast horses
would be seen here.
Glasses were arranged for the next
meet as follows: 2:17, for a purse Of
800; 2:27, for a purse of 500; 2:45,

element marked the closing day Of the
weeks racing at the Woonsocket half
mile track to-day. In the free for all
pace, six heats of which were raced on
Thursday, Ben Como, the favorite, and
Gloria came under the wire so near
each other in the seventh heat that
the crowd was in doubt as to the win
ner until the Judges gave the heat and
the race to Ben Como.
A crowd of 300 or more surged on
the track in front of the judges stand
and with shouts and cries of "robber"
mingled, demanded that the pools be
declared off The management asked
the Judges to declare the bets off, which
was done. E. E. Bosca of Brooklyn, N.
Y, owner and driver of Ben Como, ask
ed the judges by what right this action
was taken. He claimed that fraud
must be shown and that further the
judges should not be aware that pools
were being sold. He decided to let the
matter drop, but declared he had raced
honestly and believed he should have
received his winnings. Summaries:

CUP Forfeited TO Adele
SENECA CAN'T QUALIFY
Commodore Mcdonald of
Challenger Doesn't Want
to Accept 1t.

Rochester, N. Y. Aug. 9.-The Can
&da's cup has been forfeited to the
Acne, the challenger The Senaca,
the defender, is over measurement and
cannot qualify for the class The cup,
therefore, goes to the Royal Canadian
Yacht club of Toronto without a con-
test.
Races between the challenger and
defender, however, will be held off
Summerville, tomorrow and the orig
inal program will be carried out, eX-
cept that the race will be for a flag
and not for the Canada's cup.
Commodore Macdonald Of the Roy
al Canadian Yacht club said this aft
ernoon:
In case the cup is forfeited, it will
be returned to the donors for them to
do with it as they see fit. We do not
want the cup under forfeit conditions.
There will be races for flag but I'M
| less the Senaca's sail area is cut down
she will have to give the Adele time
allowance"
1t is claimed by the Canadians that
the Rochester Yacht club members
have known that the Senaca was over
measurement ever since the contract
was awarded.
The Canadians have made an Off
cial demand for the Canada's cup I'M

ment for the races.

Trading Element plsappolnted.

Prince and Whitley's market letter
last evening says
The trading element, we think was
disappointed that the market did not
show more rallying power, and at the
close were bearishly inclined.
Viewing the situation other than
from an anti-corportion legislative
standpoint both the better class of rail-
road and industrial securities look in
trinsically cheap, but until some idea
can be formed of how the national and
state authorities intend to go. or some
signs of more amicable relations are
apparent between the two parties in
terested, we don't look for any active
interest in the stock market on the
part of the capitalists and therefore
still believethat the market will contin-
ue largely professional with the best
chances for profit in saes on rallies.

Some of the dragomans speak several

though quite well enough to make
themselves understood. French is the

the native Arabic.

traversing the Nile is now almost UNI

stuck In the mud and have to be pulled
off so often that the romance and COM
fort flee, and the choice is given to an
up-to-date steamer with strong en-
gines and a competent crew of native
navigators.
No river in the world Is more diff
cult to navigate than the Niles, for it
has as many moods as there are hours
in the day, and the current of the
stream changes in such short time
that while one day the deepest part of
the river is in the very middle, the
next day finds it safer for the steamers
to keep close to the bank. For this rea.
son, especially late in the season, there
are no craft seen sailing on the Nile
after dark, for 1t is only by the color
OF the water and by occasional polling
that the shift of the stream can be
dfscerned.
Frequently along the banks are seen
groups of coffee drinkers, who roast
their coffee in small kettles, then grind
and boil it over the same fire. The
women with their water jars also form
