He patiently waited by the roadside and kept his eye on us while we picked flowers in the field, and when we re- turned looked at the flowers as if he admired them. One day after we had gathered a large bunch of flowers and were returning to town Dan spied a large bunch of bright yellow mustard growing on the opposite side Of the road. He quickly crossed the road and stopped directly opposite the mustard and as we did not get out looked first at us and then at the mustard in utter astonishment. When we showed no signs of obtaining this beautiful bou- quet he reluctantly started home.

particular harm in roller skating ex-
rept In the fact that 1t is violent ex-
crcise and is usually prolonged. There
have been epidemics of spinal menin-
gifts before the fad of skating began.
The only trouble is that the people,
AMI especially the children, prolong
their skating and exhaust themselves
and thus reduce their power of resist
ing disease. There may be something

Green said 81 believe that, in a
way, the skating rink is preventive
of the disease. because it brings out
people that would not otherwise
take any exercise whatever. l be-
licve that it has a tendency to i'm
prove the health. Just as any active
exercise has.
There are at present sixteen cases
OF cerebro spinal meningitis in the
city. So far only three cases have
been reported III which there have
been more than one member of a
family afflicted. The cases are scat
tered over the whole city and no To-
cality is visited with the disease in Il
greoter degree than any other.

Some years ago after the regular
italian opera season had ended at the
Academy of Music. New York. that
building became a sort Of trying on
arena for would be prima donnas and
tenors. One day during the open and
shut interim between the seasons Max
Maretzek met the tenor Adams and
Mime. Pappenheim.
When the tenor said, Congratulate
US, Max; we have just leased the acad.
emy for classic operas-no candy rot
for u.s." the impresario replied:
II wish you great success. But tell
me your proposed repertory."
To this Adams responded, "'Antig-
one,' '0rfeo.' Iphigenia,' 'Sapho,' Al
ceste,' etc"
Maretzek suavely said: That is mag
nificent But do me favor as an old
and experienced friend. Give the
"Trovatore" once each week in order to
pay salaries"
This advice was not followed. and
very soon the academy was again for
rent.-New York Tribune.

Tho Eye Of the Needs.

fhen Christ says in his sermon
.hat 1t Is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye Of needle than 1t Is
for rich man to enter the kingdom
of heaven" he does not mean a sewing
needle, but hole through which q
camel had to pass through In getting
into fortress. 1t was the custom in
old times, and In parts of Arabia still
Is, for the people Of a village to build
a fortress against the robbers of the
desert, into which they carried an un-
derground passage in zigzag form
barely large enough for a camel lying
down on its side to work itself through
into the courtyard of the fort, and the
Saviour beautifully compares the strug-
giles Of the animal to what the rich man
must suffer in order to gain paradise.
The hole was called 'the eye of the
needle"
In the old stone cahirs, or walled
cities, in Ireland specimens of these
eyeholes may be seen. Most of them
have been partially destroyed, but
there Is one almost perfect at Grianan
Eileach. in Donegal, and so like the
eastern eyeholes that one would think
they were made by the same workmen.
The Irish annals relate that Eileach
was erected by a Tuach de Daanan

Lewiston, Idaho, pays its mayor

months without pay.
Other councilmen have practically
used up their allowance, so will be
on the complimentary list before the
end of this month. The following
funds are available to the remaining

Phillips, $40; King, IS; Howard, so;
Osmers, IS.
Mayor Heitfield is allowed a month

the following:

many physicians It might be consid-

Green. health commissioner of the
city of Tacoma. and DR.. George d.
Shaver, addressed a meeting of the
principals of city schools held at the
General school building yesterday
afternoon and in the course of re-
marks both made statements practi-
caliy TO this effect. The addresses
were made at the invitation of Su-
perintendent of Schools A. II. Yoder.
nr. Shaver spoke in brief as fol-
lows: "Cerebro-spinal meningitis. in
my opinion is an infectious disease,
as distinguished from a contagious
disease. As far az can be learned 1t
is an inflammation of the covering
OF the spinal cord and brain, and the
germ is contained inside the cells of
this covering. The infection Is not
narveyed directly, in fact the cases
are rare when two members of the
same family have been afflicted.
Much Of the infection is conveyed
through the breathing apparatus and
in cases of many of thnse not as vet
infected with the disease, the germs
