trotting, running, pacing races, saddle
and bucking horse contests; autOmO-
bile races and a relay running race
for residents of this county only, the
latter race to be run on both days.
Those who are working the matter
up state that a meeting will be called
soon to select committees tor arranging
for subscriptions, the leasing of the
grounds and on getting up program.
The fast races will have to be by
entries from abroad as Columbia cOun-
tvs fast horses have been disposed of.

only a question OF hanging good purses

BULLET WAS MADE OF WOOD.
Knocked Out Phillips Teeth, but Spared
His Life.

MINOT. N. D., Feb. 27-The fact
that the cartridge with which he was
shot contained only a wooden bullet, is
probably what saved the life of ]. H.
Phillips. who is here in the hospital
with a punctured lip and three teeth
knocked out. The shooting is alleged
to have been done by Phillips father
in-law.
All the persons concerned live at
Kenmare. Phillips wife is a mere girl
and it is said a quarrel arose between
the couple. The girls father attempted
to interfere in her behalf and the quar-
rel was then transferred to the man.
The father-in-law at length picked up
a revolver and began firing at his SON.

Mrs. Netelsky sued as Administrative
of the boys estate, through Louis
Steckler. Testimony showed that the
boy was killed while crossing the road
way at Allen and Hester streets. When
he was within two feet of the crossing
the pole of the wagon, laden with two
tons of coal, struck him. The boy fell
down and the truck passed over his
body, killing him.
In charging the jury Justice Ford
admonished them that if they found
verdict for the mother they could
award only such a sum as the value of
the boys services would be to her up
to the time of his majority. The jury
took fifteen minutes to consider it's ver-
dict, and then awarded Mrs Netelsky

"EVERY ONE FOR HIMSELF"

Every one for himself" would that
sound very we'll?
No, 1 cannot imagine it would;
If applied to our dealings vita family
and friends,
For twould rob us of much that is
good.
How we'd miss the sweet spirit that
reigns in our homes,
And causes it's members to care
With kindness and patience for those
who are weak.
And helps them their burdens to bear
Our enjoyment would often be
marred.
Were each to consider his comfort
alone,
Nor that of his fellows regard.
But a day is to come, when each for
himself
Shall stand, before God on His
throne:
SO true,
Must needs leave us standing alone.
My thoughts, while I'm writing, re-
vert to the day
When a Savior was paying for me
The debt, which l owed to a thrice holy
God.
So that 1, from all guilt might be
free.
Twas not Each for HIMSELF" on that
wonderful cross;
Twas One for the many, instead;
And fearlessly now, VINO in Christ puts
his trust.
Heavens halls so resplendent can
tread.
And approaching his Father, the great
King of kings,
Can gaze on a cOuntenance mild.
For the Judge who sent Jesus to die
for our sins,
Will welcome His once erring child
On, hasten, dear. friend, in Christs
sheltering blood,
Wash thy garments, while yet it is
time. t-.
That Whifpr than fallen rhpy
may be,
And fit for Gods presence sublime.

CALLS THEM GREEDY.

In commenting on the undertakers'
bill up for passage at Olympia, the
Spokesman-Review says:
THE legislature will render valuable
service to the public by defeating
house bill No. 1874, to establish a
state board of embalming." The pur-
| pose of this bill is to make still more
binding the undertakerS' combine. The
proposed state board of embalming
would have five members, three of
whom would be named by the Funeral
Directors association-th trust. I'm
der the terms Of the bill none of these
would be eligible for appointment I'M
less he had had at least five years
experience in this state.
IF this bill should become law.
no one could engage in the undertake
ing business until he had been grant
ed a license from this state board
in other words, from the Funeral Di-
rectors' association of Washington.
No license would be granted to anyone
who had not had lat least two years
practical experience in the care and
disposition of dead bOdies,' prOvi-
sion which would impose a hardship
in small and remote counties and the
smaller towns of the state. In many
places the undertaking business is
conducted in connection with the fur
niture business. 1t is often the case
that only one man in an entire county
is engaged in the business. If that
man could not make satisfactory terms
with the Funeral Directors assOcia-
ton, he could not get license and
there would be no means of burying
the dead of an entire county.
1T is well known that the profits in
the undertaking business are enOr-
nous. CasketS are sold at an advance
of several hundred per cent. The cost
of embalming body is trifle in COM
,parison with the undertakers' charges.
In the larger cities of the state many
few years. Perhaps to no other
| business will the public pay such ex-
cessive tribute without protest. When
death invades the family circle, the
breadwinners, however poor their cir
cumstances. do not feel like haggling
over the undertakers charges.
1T would seem that these peculiar
conditions and the immense profits
growing out of them ought to satisfy
the undertakers and that they would
he rest ira ad nv their own sense Of
propriety from laying before the leg
islature so greedy trust measure as
| house bill No. l54."

HOW TO STOP AN ALARM CLOCK

Curious about getting up in the
morning" said a man who has to rise
early. Il find that l can make my
brain serve as an alarm clock if 1 so
Will
L say to myself, or my other self, Or
my brain, or however you mind to put
it, that 1 want to wake up at o'clock.
and at that hour l wake up, reused by
my, mental alarm clock, which from
the time l set it the night before has
kept right on running, steady and true
while l slept, to wake me practically
if not exactly on the hour.
But l find that this silent alarm
clock is a very sensitive clock, a clock
that refuses to do it's part of the work
unless l do mine. l said that it will
wake if l so WILL that is to say if l
really mean it. But l find that if 1 do
not actually obey the summons when
it comes, if l turn over for another
five minute nap and sleep maybe half
an hour. and l do this a few mornings
I'm succession. why then my mental
alarm clock won't work; it appears to
resent working for anybody that won't
perform his part of the contract faith
fully.
/ I'm short, our mental alarm clock
appears to be a very delicate piece of
machinery which will not bear any trif-
ling with. Form the habit of respond
ing to it promptly and truly and it will
wake you at any hour for which you
| set it, but disregard it or treat it light
| ly and it will not call you at all, or
with quite proper resentment it will
now call so softly as not to be heard.
| But you have to mean it even with a
noisy alarm clock of brass and steel;
| for otherwise it is easily possible for
you to sleep right on through even
it's noisy Clamor. Suppose you set this
clock for 6 o'clock when you ought to
get up, though you could sleep till
| I, as you'd lazily like to do. and still
manage to get through.
IF. thus temporizing with duty. you
should let yourself sleep over a few
moments you would soon get so that
you wouldn't hear the alarm clock at
all; it might bang it's head off and still
you wouldn't hear it.
ION the other hand. if you are reso-

lutte in your intention to get up Won
two or Whereabouts before the clocI,
goes off. Here. you see, our mental
alarm clock comes in to reinforce the
clock of metallic wheels and springs.
You may have given no thought
whatever to setting it when you did
set the mental clock, on which alone
you were relying: but if you really
willed that you would get up the clock
of your brain would very likely set it
self, of it's own accord, for the same
hour. and it would also call you then.
Very kind and sympathetic and help
full is the human brain to those who
deal fairly with it and treat it right.
la truly wonderful thing is it in fact.
Sit On the Clock.
Here is a little pointer in alarm
clock practice-that is. in the treat
ment of the ordinary metallic slam
bang alarm clock-that may interest
you. Perhaps you know it already. but
there may be others who do mott
know l had to learn it myself from
somebody else. -
When your alarm clock goes off ir
the early morning it makes, in the
stiffness of that hour, frightful rack
ct: enough. it seems, to wake up every
body else in the house, if not all the
neighbors, and while you had to have
it sound like that in order TO wake
you up, yet now you sympathize with
the rest of the world and wish it wasn't
so loud; and still you can think If
nothing to do except to let it hammer
away until it has run down. Now.
here is the pointer about this:
If while the clock is ringing you
will grasp the alarm gong firmly with
your hand you will find that you dead
en- the sound of the hammering instant
ly, and very materially reduce it, But
at this time of year it is pretty CHILLY
work s. anding just out of bed in a cold
room, holding an alarm clock until it
has run down; and the really proper
thing to do is to jump up and seize
the clock and stuff it under your pill
low and press the pillow down on and
around it good and hard. This will
stif1e the sound of it's hammering even
more effectually.'

The company supporting the star on
