No Job for a Boy.

An Irishman on day went into a
barbar shop to get shaved. After be-
ing seated and the lather about half
applied the barber was called to an
room where he was detain-
ed for some time. The barber had in
the same shop pet monkey which
was continually initiating its master.
As soon as the latter left the room
the monkey grabbed the brush and
proceeded to finish lathering the
Irishman's face. After doing this he
took n razor from its case and strop-
ped it and turned to the Irishman to
shave him.

The Russian Thistle.

According to the Nernal Express,
the Russian thistle has taken possess
sion of Ashley valley, but some say
the condemned thistle is not such an
evil as represented. a former ''Sun-
flower State resident says that at
his former home in Western Kansas,
which by the way is IA great stock
raising country, the Russian thistle
has full sway and it often happens
that when feed is scarce tkere during
the winter months cattle and sheep
have been known to exist solely on
this despised thistle.
The gentlemen further adds that
the thistle i'll its green state is sure
cattle fattener. AS regards their be-
ing injurious to the crops, he says:
The roots Of the Russian thistle are
small and they mature slowly; while
with irrigation the crops would have
gained such Il Roadway as to be in no
way endangered by the little thistle
bushes. As its name implies, it is II
native of Russia, and was brought to
this country by Il trio of Russian en-
igrants who had the seeds concealed
in the ''turn up at the hem of their
pants.

Cattle Prospects Good.

Stock papers are predicting that
the recent heavy loss of cattle in the
Northwest this winter, together with
the fact many have either gone out
of the business or decreased their
herds owing to the poor market of
the past few years, will stimulate the
cattle market of another season to IL
higher point than it has reached for
many year, is the Craig Couriers
opinion. A good year for cattle such
as was had in the late sos wouldn't
go amiss for the Routt county stock
men just now. (Nor Rio Blanco's,

For II new member, the Hon. b. T..
Napier, who represents our neigh
boring county of Garfield in the
Legislature, is making an cnviable
record. Mr.. Napier has introduced
IL number of good bills, and as he
seems to be IL very popular member,
will be able, we believe, to get some
of them enacted into laws. His bill
providing for the submission of all
franchises to vote of the people,
should be placed on the statute
books, but it is our opinion that the
politicians who control the present
will not allow such a
mcritorious measure to become a
law 1.-THE interests and unscrup-
ulous politicians will never allow tie
people to control the franchises-if
possible to prevent. Nevertheless,
THE HERALD hopes Barney Napier
meets with the success he deserves
in his Legislative efforts.

IN IT TEN YEARS. An Unconscious Slave to Coffee.

'I had not the slightest idea that coffee was the cause of my contin- ued sickness for the last ten years, until I quit it's use and took ID Post um Food Coffee. I never had a nat ural nSvement of the bowels during q number of years. because of chronic constipation. and I was continually taking medicine.
 "Very frequently. just after break fast a dizziness would come on, which would force me to lie down and re- main absolutely quiet until relief came. I was also the victim of severe headaches. and miserable all the time. Finally it occurred to me that coffee was the real cause of my trouble.
 'I therefore procured a package of Postum Food Coffee and began its use in place of coffee. At first I did not like it. but I soon discovered that mad not made it properly. When it is boiled long enough it has deli cious Java coffee taste. a beautiful deep rich brown color. and altogether 1t makes charming beverage.
 "I soon grew very fond of it; in fact I liked t better than l did the old cof- fee. My health improved and this gradually increased. The bowels re- sumed their natural functions and the old dizzy feeling disappeared entirely; also the heada ches.
 This happy change in health fixed my mind permanently and forever; never, under any circumstances, to ga back to drug that had held me a slave for ten long years. A curious thing about all this is that people do not realize the cause of their troubles. They go on year after year. just as ! had, in drugging themselves with something that holds them in a cordi- ton of sickness and they don't seem to understand what it is that causes the trouble. If such people would leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee, the. trial would tell it's own tale"

BLUE JACKETS BARRED
 FROM DANCING PAVILION
No Objection to the Men But Ser ious Objection to the Uniform of the Navy.

Washington. May 2s.-Discrimina- tiOn against the blue jacket uniform of the navy at the dancing pavilion at Pine Beach, an amusement park resort adjacent to the Jamestown exposition has led Secretary Metcalfe to vigorous action. Complaint was made to the navy department by Lieutenant J. V. Babcock commanding the steamer Truxton on May 16. The substance of report and position taken by the secretary in the matter given in a letter to Governor Swanson of Nir- ginia. says: "The commanding off cer of the TruXton states that the dancing pavilion at Pine Beach re- fuses admittance to men in blue jacket uniforms. at the same time granting unqualified admittance to soldiers in uniform. :. F. Lane, a gunner's mate was on the 18th refused admission to the dancing pavilion, the manager stating that under no circumstances would men be admitted. that the men were not objected to but the uniform was, that if they wished to dance oth- CT clothes would be furnished.
 A request was made to see the other clothes and the petty officer was shown a dressing room where a stock of white clothes was kept very much similar to' the regulation mess attend ants uniform. on being informed that the matter would be reported to the proper authorities the manager stated that that action would do no good. and would be a waste of time. This park is advertised as being un- der the management of the Columbia Amusement company incorporated. with F. Crawl. president.
 As the navy is doing everything it is possible to make the exposition a successs your attention Is invited to this instance of apparent discrimina- tion against the service uniform and it is believed that some action should be taken thereon by withholding the license or otherwise. If such practices be permitted the result will be this department feels assured highly pre- judicial to the navy service by caus- ing the uniform of the navy to be look ed upon with disfavor.'
 A copy of this letter was sent to President Tucker of the Jamestown exposition. Both Governor Swanson anu uNhtl At-iAfl. swan son said he would at once do every thing personally under the law to have the discrimination stopped. Mir. Tuck CT explained that the park is entirely outside the grounds of the exposition and that the exposition company had no authority or control over the man agement. MT. Tucker expressed hearty sympathy with the secretary's position.

MAYORM'CLtLlANWfT0ES
 PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
He Found the Measure Destructive of the Principal of Home Rule.

New York May 2S.-MayOr McClcl- Ian today recorded his official disap- proval of the public utilities bill which was sent back to the legislature where it is expected to be repassed without the mayors signature.
 In the memorandum accompanying thc measure the mayor explains that while he is in accord with the general principles embodied in the bill it is as a whole destructive of the principle of home rule that but one course is open 10 him.
 This was the basis of the objection but the mayor adds that in effect such legislation would result inevitably in the appointment of partisan commis- sioners who in times of party stress would use their power to coerce the tTansportatiop companies into furnish ing funds with which to corrupt the electorate
 The mayor said in part: For the first time in the history of the state there are to be created two adminis- trative bodies vested with power ex- clusively exercised bv the legislature of regulating the rates and fares of steam railroads, steam elevated rail- roads. gas. electric light and power companies. The combined capitaliza- ton of these companies is nearly three billions and a half. the gross earnings from their operation last year approx imatcly being $533. .OG0. .0O0: the number Of employees upward of 31OO00 and the number of security holders not less than 1OO.0O0.'
 The commissioners are to he appoint ed by the governor and as they may be removed by him or his successors they will become the direct represent atives' agents of each succeeding gov ernOr.
