Sam Swan, who was arrested
some time ago at the instance of
Jesse Campbell for stealing two
horses, and released on bonds, was
given a preliminary hearing before
Justice Norell this week, the TAX
ing of the testimony occupying
two whole days. The justice did
not consider the evidence sufficient
to bind him over to the district
court and released him, but he was
Immediately re-arrested on a mis-
dcmeanor charge of running horses
off the range. He dema .ldcd an
immediate jury trial and six good

Bulletin 179, issued from the
United States department of agri-
culture deals with the construction
of small reservoirs in the arid re-
gion and describes number of
/ them, mostly used for storing storm
water on the plains. Some of these
are used exclusively for stock
water, while others are used for ir-
rigation. The bulletin is very sug-
gestive as to the possibilities of
storing the water flowing during
storms in coulees and small streams
ordinarily dry and using it in grow
ing vegetables and fruit for the
home and winter feed for stock.
Applications for this bulletin should
be made to the director of the office
of experiment station, Washington

A man named Stroum stepped in
TO Eckstein Bros. clothing store
last Saturday and bought a pair OF
overalls. Taking them home he
transferred his loose change end
other articles to the pockets of his
new purchase. After putting them
on he discovered that they were toe
small and accordingly took them
back and changed them for a larger
pair. Next day, being Sunday,
he donncd his usual garments anc
was painfully surprised to discover
that fifteen dollars which he wa:
! positive he possessed the day before
had nysteriousiy disappeared
: Then happy thought struck him
> and he Immediately hunted up one
of the Eckstein boys, made him e.
to the store, and there on the shell
: among numerous others of thu
same kind, lay his original pur
, chase with the money and othe
articles intact. 1t was just lucl
pure and simple that that identica
: pair had not been sold to someon
: else in the meantime.

The Stamp
Of Quality

In drugs just as in dry
goods or clothing, some
dealers run to cheap stuff
at low prices, some to me-
dunn prices while others
try to carry all grades. We
lean decidedly toward quail
ity goods. In drugs quail
ity is more important than
in other lines. When we
hand out a bottle of medi-
cine, prepared acco. ding
to some Doctors prcscrip-
ton, we want to know
that that medicine bears
the stamp of quality
Otherwise we won't be
satisfied. If you like quail
ity goods you will like our
store. Surprising how
low the prices are, too.

The idea of the invention Of armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients, who,
noticing the natural armor of various
kinds of animals, particularly the ar
madillo, initiated 1t.
In early times before metal was used
in armor making the warriors used
rough hides to several thicknesses, and
the first armor ever worn was made
from slices taken from the hoofs Of
horses and fastened together with pegs
Fish scales and the scales OF large
snakes were also gathered and fastened
together until they formed a thick
LAYER and were used as armor.
The armor Of the Middle Ages was a
continuation of the ancient kind, made
In the form OF scales Of iron or steel.
Certain kinds of mail used In early
times In England were copied from the
shells of crabs and Holsters

FISH THAT ARE CANNIBALs.
Can Swallow Other Fishes that Are
Many Times Their Bulk.

Can Swallow Other Fishes that Are
Many Times Their Bulk.
The waters adjacent to the coasts of
the United States contain some of the
most extraordinary fishes to be found
anywhere In the world.
There Is fish able and willing to
swallow whole other fishes which are
from six to twelve times It's superior
in bulk. This fish inhabits the deep sea,
living 1t is supposed, at a depth of l.
1900 fathoms.
In the latter half of the last century
In the national museum-of chiasmo-
don niger, or black swallower, the spe-
cies referred to, were found, In each in
stance with fish from six to twelve
times bulkier than itself in it's stomach.
This fish has an elongated body Of
nearly uniform thickness to within
short distance of the tall, into which
it tapers slightly Such is its appear
ance when hungry.
AS it swims around in the somber
deep 1t espies fish many times larger
than itself. Darling upon its prey, 1t
seizes it by the tail and slowly but sure
~ climbs over It with its jaws, first US
ing one and then the other.
Gradually the prey is taken In, the
stomach and integuments Of the swal-
lower stretching out, and at last the en-
tire fish is passed through the mouth
and into the stomach and the distended
belly appears as great bag, projecting
far out backward and forward, over
which is the swalloWer, looking very
small In comparison.
The walls of the stomach and belly
become so stretched they are transpar-
ent and the species of the fish within
can be discerned. But in swallowing
such large prey the captor sometimes
overdoes the matter and retribution fol-
lows swiftly in the shape of acute indi-
gestion, which causes its death.

Father carefully looked the horse

Joel led the horse up and down the

"Tom," said he, this horse Is worth
O great deal more than eighty dollars.
1t Is very doubtful if the scamp who

If he does, he will never come to claim

must seek the owner"
We sought the owner In vain. We

FUNNY TO FOREIGN VISITORS.
Features of American Life That
Seem odd to Tourists.

Features of American Life That
Seem odd to Tourists.
We may think the continental candle
a great joke, but foreigners coming
here are just as much humored by
American institutions, says the New
York Press. For instance: Frank Gill
more, the actor, saw many funny things
when he came here on his first visit
His first resting place was the United
States hotel in Boston. His room was
smotheringly hot. He sought relief by
opening the windows, but the tenpera-
ture remained unbearable He had
read of the awful temperature in Amer
lean hotels and got the notion that his
room was lined with steam pipes. A
critical search for the lever to shut off
the heat failed. Suddenly he espied a
doorstep and at 1t pulled and tugged
for some time In vain. The room was
growing hotter.
The radiator was In full view all the
time, but Frank had never made the In
innate acquaintance of such a monster.
Becoming disheartened, he decided to
call for help. Over the electric push
button was a notice: "One push Will
bring q bellboy." Here was another
puzzle. In Europe he knew boots" and
| porter" but no bellboy. However, he
pushed and took chances. Luther, as
| black as the ace of spades, responded.
Pointing to the unOffending doorstep
Gilmore said: 1T doesn't work"
Luther looked wooZey. Frank walked
over and tapping the step with his fin
ger, remarked: I've pulled it three
times and it doesn't work :" Luther,
the whites of his eyes as big as Sat
urns ring, tried to escape; but his
| senses came back and he shut off the
heat; and the actor gradually cooled
| off.
Gilmore cannot be as fresh as the
average "knowall" British tourist One
| day he wanted to write letter and
noticing fine, large room near the
| clerks desk provided with big tables,
chairs and writing utilities approached
| 1t. A legend stared him in the face
This room for guests only; all others
keep out" Gillmore's Interpretation of
"gnest" was that it was one who ac-
cepted another's hospitality without
payment, therefore he must be wis
itor," and the room was intended for
| him to bring a friend in, but being
alone he thought he could not enter.
He retired to his room and wrote his
letter there.
One night Gilmore was introduced to
our great American favorite-"corn on
the cob" or 'roas'n' yeahs" Foreign
ers know nothing of this delicacy. The
actor attempted to eat it with knife
and fork, by slielng it off as you would
banana: but failing to make an In
preston summoned the waiter and or
dered another corn, as that wasn't
cooked through.
