Motoring Over the SimpIon.

The Swiss passes are gradually be- ing opened to motor trafnc. The latest to abandon prejudiced ways is the Simplon. but coupled with this con cession to progress the authorities of the Wallis Conton make certain stip- ulations, including the by no means agreeable one that when meeting pe- destrians, cattle or horse-drawn ve- hicles the man at the wheel must steer toward the outer edge of the road away from the protection of the inner curve toward the usually un- protected side bordering on the preci- pice
 Considering the dangerous nature of mountain motoring at its best, one may well be excused If this rule does not tend to alacrity in taking this way into Italy, more especially as non- observance of this regulation is pun ishable by the infliction of fines vary Ing from 50 to 800 francs on first con viction and double that amount afterward. The permit of i've francs (thrifty Swiss) can be obtained at the gendarmerie at Brig and Grondo, on either aide of the pass

PILLOWS FOR THE SICK.
Have Plenty of Little Ones to Tuck
 in Around an Invalid.

There Is no problem more difficult of solution than how to make a long Vtay in bed or convalescing period comfortable for the patient.
 Pillows, pillows, pillows, a score or more of them, is the solution, says the Circle. Not full-sized eavy-feather pillows, but small light wool. down, hair, or even balm cushions are the comforts which ease the patients tired muscles.
 They should be in sizes ranging from 10 to IS inches in length and from to 12 inches wide, or they can be made square. The larger ones are excellent If made of hair and tufted like a mattress.
 These little comfort cushions can be slipped under the neck, at the small of the back, under the knees or heels and placed where a tired arm can rest comfortably upon them; this for the patient in bed
 When the patient is sitting up the pillows can be tucked in all the hol LOWS, and are especially useful In pre- venting that awful ache where the bend of the knees rests against the chair.
 These small pillows also fit nicely in the hollows of the regular bed pill lows when the patient sits up in bed, and they are convenient for the nurse to rest her elbow or neck upon if she has to support the patient for any length of time. good round dozen of these cushions will not be too many and they will be found an invaluable aid to both nurse and patient.

EARLY DAYS OF THE RAIL.
Little Thing Like Danger Signal
 Didn't Stop Trains.

Jesse Lewisohn, the fnancier, told us at a shareholders meeting in New York railroad story:
 America has good many railroad accidents" he began, but we must remember that America is an i'm mense country. with an immense rail road traffic. Our roads, on the whole, are carefully and intelligently man aged. They are not managed in the least like road heard story of the other day.
 Tt was before the war, and a northerner was travelling on a little railway in New England Suddenly, in an outof-the-way spot, the train halted and the brakeman leaped out and ran up the track On the brake mans return the tourist said to him:
 This is queer place to stop. There's no station here Whats the trouble, any way?
 Oh, nothin' of any consequence. the brakeman answered. The signal wuz agin us; that wuz all. I've jest sot it right, an now we'll go on agin directly"

FELT HE HAD KICK COMING.
Shoppers Complaint About as Reason
 able as Many Others.

While we were going down in the Subway the other morning we met friend, says a writer in the New York Times. He was standing before an advertisement with a rapt expression on his face-no, gentle reader, that Is not Teddied spelling for rapper-and the only greeting he vouchsafed us was Read the last line of this ad- vertisement" It was an advertise ment for a certain make of rubber heels and the line which had, fgura- lively speaking, caught our friends eye read as follows:
 For sale at all good stores; 50 cents attached"
 "Well what about 2" we asked.
 Nothing, except that it's an abso- lute, downright, disreputable fake" was the response "I found that out the other day when I bought a pair of them on the strength of this ad. vertisement"
 What was the matter with them?" was our next query.
 "Oh, there was nothing the matter with the heels themselves" answered our friend. cheerfully. But the 50 cents wasn't attached"

It seems to us that Clark county has made mistake in deciding to hold the county primary election in July next year. Of course there will be a uniform primary day when state and county of- ficers are nominated. This is the day when all primaries ought to be held and it is to be regretted that there will be exceptions. The reason given in Clark county is that by holding the election in July the farmers will have time to finish their crops before going to the election or at least it will not be such a busy time with them. This is an im- portant matter to consider, but had it ever occurred to you that if no more time were taken than is actually neces- sary to vote, the loss to the farmer would be very little. The loss in this respect is greatly exaggerated, al- though the primary ought to be held at time most convenient to the farmer as well as every one else. We believe July would be better time to hold the primary all oyer the state. Too much time is taken up with politics and both the people and the candidates are taxed with unnecessary burdens in this particu- lar. But in as much as the general pri- mary election will be held in March. we believe every county as fer as possible should conform to this date.

Better weather for saving hay has rarely been seen in this country than we have had for some time. It certainly means something to make hay while the sun shines. We may not need the hay so bad while the sun is shining, but there will come cloudy day, a wet cold day when old "John" and "Pidv" will relish all the hay they can get.

MED ever having seen him. The baron
stood 10 his statement that sae fired

The crown counsel absolutely refuse
to believe that she was in any way i'm
plicated, and insist that Baron Linde-
nau was not in Baden-Baden on the
day of the murder Three witnesses.
on the other hand, affirm that they saw
him there that day. and almost al the
spot where the murder took place.
His word as a witness is considered
to carry little weight Although a
nobeman, he now earns a precarious
existence by means of a licensed mar

bankrupt some years ago as the result
Of house speculation. Although sixty
four years old, in his letter he pro-
