THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND
HARMLESS is CALLED THE
ELECTRIC SPARkER, A PRO-
DUCT OF THE JAPANESE.

A colored lad dancing up and down
and wildly waving his arms while
his eyes were fastened on the fire
works he saw displayed in a store
window on Main street, was the sight
which greeted number of pedes-
TRANS as they passed a well known
Dealers place Saturday. The lad
was evidently using his imagination
for all that it was worth for he was
getting as much excitement out of
mis- study of the window as if a match
had been touched to the fireworks
and they were exploding in greatest
disorder
The enthusiasm of the colored lad
was at least pleasing to the eye of
the merchant for it bespoke shekles
for him. According to Richmond
dealers there is TO be a heavy demand
for fireworks this year. The factories
anticipating this were very indepen-
dent about their sales this year, many
OF them requiring a deposit of money
before a shipment of fireworks would
be made.

Henpecked kina of Beasts.

should some of the strenuous ladies
of The United States happen to visit
the New York ZOO" said the animal
painter. they would be encouraged In
their contempt OF man. The lion is
often l>Ided as the creature of pre-
eminent courage. But in domestic life
he isn't a circumstance compared with
the lioness. When she smiles, he hum

W hen she frowns. he fingers trembling
in the corner And If perchance she
emits a growl. he crouches close to the
floor until her majesty may feel in bet

husbands may feel that their wives are
inclined TO domineer. But of meek.
henpecked males the lion is the most
striking example. New York Press.

4 Dog and an Eag.

A farmer in a western state possess
ed two dogs, a big one called Alice and
a small one that was named Billy. AL
ice, greedy creature. was fond of fresh
eggs. When she heard a hen cackle she
always ran to look for the nest. One
day she found one under the fruit shed.
But she could not get the egg because
she was too large to go under the shed.
She went away and soon returned with
Billy, bringing him just before the
hole
Billy was stupid and did not under
stand. Alice put her head in and then
her paws without being able TO reach
the egg. Billy seemed to understand
what was wanted. He went under the
she'd, brought out the egg and put it
before Alice, who ate it with great sat
isfaction, and then both dogs trotted
off together.-Chicago Tribune.

INDIAN PROVERBS.

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
Small things talk loud to the Indians
eye
The paleface's arm is longer than his
word
When Il fox walks lame, the old rab-
bit jumps.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There is nothing so eloquent as a
rattlesnake's tail
The Indian scalps his enemy. The
paleface skins his friends.
Two men will live together in quiet
and friendship, but two squaws never.
When man prays one day and
steals six, the Great Spirit thunders
and the evil one laughs.
There are three things it takes q
strong man to hold-a young warrior,
a wild horse and handsome squaw.-

A WoMAN'S QUICK EYE.
II Was the Means of Gaining Fortune
at Monte Carlo.

IL Was the Means of Gaining a Fortune
at Monte Carlo.
Nearly every one who has been to
Monte Carlo has heard of Mamma
viaud, little, bent old French wo-
man, widow, who played for years.
Mamma yiaud played roulette each
day from morning until night. Her
beady eyes, twitching nervously, saw
nothing but the ivory ball as it fell
into the cell. AS they watched her
staggering from the gaming tables
late at night people pitied her.
Her whole soul. her life, seemed alb
sorbed in the awful desire of winning.
The old woman at times lost heavily
for her; then she regained her losses.
For a long time she was enabled to
live and continue her feverish pursuit
of the game.
One night the old woman lost nearly
all her store. AS she passed from the
table, despair in her eyes, her attention
was attracted by another wheel She
stopped and bent over the table.
Again and again the wheel spun
around and stopped. The old woman's
eyes sparkled A flush suffused her
pallid cheeks.
As she left the room she clapped her
hands. and her laugh-a shrill, mock
ing chuckle-startled the gamesters as
ominous, uncanny.
Better watch the old woman," one
of the official lookouts told a detective.
He followed Mammal" Viaud to her
hotel He listened outside of her door.
There was no alarming sound. In a
short while she extinguished her lights
and evidently had retired.
The following evening she reappear-
ed in the gaming hall Her eyes still
sparkled; her cheeks were still flushed.
With her were several notorious game
sters. They approached table. "Mam-
ma Viaud began to play.
She won. The gamblers, who had
loaned her money, watched. She play
ed n second time and won and a third
time and won. The gamblers looked
on amazed and saw the old woman
raking in thousands of francs.
During the evening the old woman
sat by the table. playing persistently.
Her winnings doubled trebled, quad
rupled and piled up about her
The management became alarmed.
A consultation was held. Special de-
tectives We're sent to watch her. Scores
had gathered about the table looking
on breathlessly at her wonderful run
of luck. The detectives reported to
the management that Mamma Viaud
was playing a certain combination of
numbers that invariably won.
One Of the directors besought the old
woman to desist playing. The bank
would be broke. he declared. She
smiled and continued to play.
The director offered her $4,000 to
cease playing He doubled the figure
If she would tell him the secret of her
success He importuned her TO take
100000. $4,000. only cease waging
her successful battle for gold.
Finally he offered her $500. COO. Ac-
cepting this. Mamma viaud. gather
ing together her fortune. told him very
quietly that in passing the table the
night before her quick eye had detect
ed that tie ball OF this particular
wheel stopped at q certain place at
regular intervals. The managers ex-
2mined the wheel. found that it was
out of order and congratulated them

Arrested at Mamma.

Word was received Thursday at
the Sheriff's Office to send an officer
to Nampa to bring>a prisoner to the
Thorp boarding house. All the reg
ular officers being busy, e. B. Smith
was detailed for the trip. In order
to guard against emergencies the
deputy provided himself with hand
cuffs and other articles necessary for
a desperate trip. Arriving at Nampa
on number he was informed that 1t
had been decided to quash the pro-
ceedings already had and prefer an
other charge. The prisoners name
is Charles Orr and is 10 or 16 years
old. The charge he had been con-
victed on was assault, but ON account
of his age.,it was thought best to sub
stitute some other charge whereby
he could be sent to the reform school.
OF course the proceedings may APP
pear a little out of order, but then
this happened in Nampa and that is
different. If the expenses of the Of
ficer could be assessed on those who
are connected with the law depart
ment of the Junction City. it would
make no particular difference, but,
all these expenses come out of the
county treasury, and the end is not
yet, as an officer will have to make a
second trip when the case is finally
disposed of.

Boys Arrested.

Complaint was made Sunday by

that several boys had been using pro-
fame and indecent language while
standing on the sidewalk in front OF
his residence. The Chief Immediate

that there were FIVE of them: Elmer

Wilson and Snyder Millener. They
were ordered to appear before Judge
Shorb Monday morning. When the
case was called Mr.. Brown said he
did not want to see the boys fined,
but If the Judge would give them q
lecture on their behavior, that he
would not put in an appearance.
This program was carried out and
the boys were permitted to take their
departure. Two of the boys, Bur

the remaining three were from Cald-

a warning to the other boys who. are

NEW YORK CITY IS DOOMED.

Accurate Astronomer Says End Will
Come Some Time in August.
Middletown, Conn, June 1.-"Uncle
Horace" johnson of Middle Hadden,
known throughout New England as an
accurate weather prophet, announces
that all of Manhattan island and much
of the adjoining territory will be de-
stroyed by great earthquake some
tine in August.
He says one-half of New York city
will sink into East river and the other
half into North river and that the dis
turbance will entail the loss of thou
sands of lives. The damage to proper.
ty naturally will be incalculable.
Uncle Horace" as he is familiarly
known, is about eighty years old. He
has made a lifelong study of astrono.
my and the changes in the atmosphere.
He predicted the great blizzard of
1883 and many other catastrophes,
such as the recent earthquakes in San
Francisco and Jamaica.
He says the coming earthquake has
to do with the constant change in the
equilibrium of the earth. He says fur
Their that he has known of the coming
catastrophe for many years, but has
not announced it until he made abso.
lutely certain it will occur.
