The general spring fever seems to
have taken possession of many of the
fireMe1 and they have been taking
20 other fields in numbers this past
week. Students are applying for an
opportunity to demonstrate that they
can sI,oy Ell coal and keep things hot
about an engine and will be encour-
|agoe. Several firemen have come in
from ether points this week, and there
seems to be no danger of famine
in this particular line at present.
The Italians on the coal chute de-
cided that S1.60 per day was not suf-
ficicnt to permit them to eat three
tlmts and buy farm with the re-
serve, SO, after some very emphatic
chats with their foreman, Joe Nora,
they walked out on him the forepart
OF the week. Joe was up against it
for a Gay or two, finally securing help
which has agreed to stick by him and
keep the bunkers filled with coal as
the engines arrive for fresh supply.
The cinder pit has been miniature

HAPPY WEEK.
At FAIR STORE

This week has been a busy one at
the Fair department store, where a
sale ba2 been in progress different
from anything ever undertaken in the
annals Of the commercial life of
Havre. The sale is known as
Happy Week sale and the advar-
tising matter gotten out by the Herald
is profusely illustrated by laughing
faces.
With each purchase of goods this
week The purchaser is presented with
a card on which appears one of the
various letters used in forming the
words-"The Fair When 4 III =

In talking to d Herald representative
the middle of the week, Mr. Blttrey
expressed himself as much pleased
at the unusual interest being mani
tested and the large number of buy
ers to throng the store daily. We
have been UP against a combination
OF circumstances never before eEpar-
fenced in all my commercial life. said
Mr. Buttrey. Our stocks We're very

We had not, up TO the first CT this
week, received anything by freight
since early in December. OF course,
we shipped in some goods by express,
but this is not satisfactory method,
aside from being rather expensive.

Intelligent Pharmacy.

One of the ablest physicians in New
York was in financial straits in his
young days, and looked long and hard
for a job. Finally he was engaged
in a small shop in Cherry street, in the
midst of sailors boarding houses and
sich." One night a woman asked for
an ounce of some deadly poison.
What are you going to do with it?'
said the young pharmacist. She re-
plied quickly: Il am going to drink
it; l am weary of living! I shall COM
nit suicide "In that case" she he,
Il won't sell it to you; you will have
to obtain it elsewhere" She laughed.
"Oh, do you take me for a fool? If l
wanted to kill myself do you suppose
I'd tell you? Honestly, l want the
medicine for my husband, a 'longshore-
man, who is in great distress" That's
different" said our young friend, who
thereupon sold the poison and made
her sign for it. AS she passed out
of the door she yelled in maniac
tones: "Ya, va! got you that time!
I'll be in hell in seven minutes!"

Natives Can't Swim.

A Washington man tells of a recent
visit to a benighted section of a south
western state-a region so %uninviting
and unpromising that ever the resi-.
dents thereof evince for it the great
est disgust. Many would leave if they
could, but, as they themselves say:
There amt nothin' to do but stay
an have the chills and fever"
The. Washington man was riding
along the banks of the river that
waters this section, and although he
had gone some 20 miles or so he had
not in all that distance noticed "a
single fisherman. Meeting a man
lounging near the stream, he asked:
"Why doesn't meon fish in this
river?"
"Ain't no fish," was the laconic re-
Spouse of the native.

as this!" exclaimed the astonished
Washingtonian. why not?"
The native lazily shifted his position
and answered:

you reckon you'd be e?"-Harper's

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch Up.

Several years ago, when the UnIver-
sity of Chicago held it's decennial
celebration, John d. Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild-
ering succession of functions followed
one another in such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day, Mr.. Rockefeller, in his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:
Il have felt for the past "a hours
like the Boston business man who
lived in the suburbs and came in to
his Office every day. One winter after
noon he took the train for his home,
but a terrific snowstorm was raging.
and about half way to his suburb the
train was showed in. All night the
passengers were imprisoned, but early,
in the morning they managed to reach
a nearby telegraph station, and the
Boston man sen the following dis
patch to his Office:

TRIED MAlL-0RDER METHODS

Will Not Try the Same Thing
Second Tlme-6uyinq at
Home Pays.

Copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred c. Clark
Mr.. Brown, a farmer living In
Boone county, Mo-, decided to buy a
spring wagon. The next time he was
in town he went to the local dealer
to see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
him at SIS. He thought he would
take it, but before ordering he looked
I've q mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described a wagon which,
as far as description went, was the
same as the one he saw in the deal
er's store room. In fact, the descrip-
ton was written in such a convinc-
ing n and all of the good points
of the mail order vehicle were brought
out SO thoroughly that it appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $67.45. Mr.. Brown
thought of the saving of $7.55 which
represented several days of hard work.
The more he thought about it the
more he wanted to save that amount
and in the end the Chicago mail or
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived,
with a freight bill of $3.50, he rode to
town with his son and spent half a
day putting it together. He had to
buy a screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and a few bolts to replace
some that had been lost in shipment.

TALE or FELINE sAoAclTY.
Wondrous Story Wasted on Circle Of
unbeIlevers.

I've got an old tom cat at my house
that once saved nine lives"
That's easy" butted in the mar
who had his feet on the table. HE
lodged the fatiron that you threw at
him."
Perhaps he got tired of being
starved at your house and crawled
away to some neighbours" suggested
the man with the baggy-kneed trous-
ers.
Your shrewdness does you infinite
credit, gentlemen" said the first
speaker, handing each Of them a cheap
cigar. Permit me to reward you.
But you don't quite guess it. This
cat, in nosing around the premises,
found a pitcher of cream. He stuck
his head down into 1t. 1t was a tight
fit, but he managed to get his head
inside. Then he was in a fix. His
nose was in the cream, and he couldn't
get his head back through the opening.
Any other cat would have suffocated to
death inside Of"

the green goggles. didn't he"

and stuck his tail up in the air, but he
didn't make any sound. He had sense
enough to know that he couldn't carry
on a conversation. with the outside
world while his ose and mouth were
buried in thick cream. He squatted
down and seemed to consider the mat
ter. Then he acted. He had made up
his mind. He felt his way to the
nearest wall, and when he found it he
reared up on his hind feet and stuck
his head, with that cream pitcher on
it, straight up in the air and stood
there. That inverted the pitcher, you
know, and the cream began to ooze
out and run down on the floor. Pres
emily his tail began to wag leisurely,
as if to convey the assurance to the
watchers that he was all right. He
could breathe again. Then he sat
down on the floor and proceeded to
push the pitcher off his head with his
forepaws. He wasn't in any hurry
about it. He knew there would be no
trouble. The cream had fabricated his
head, and it slipped out just as easy

But his hearers had fled out. They
said there was a point at which lying

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for a time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for owe a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Saved bv a Soma,

A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him. At length a beautiful
bobolink perched on a rough bough OF
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up a stone, and got
ready to throw it at the bird. The
birds throat swelled, and forth came
the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, bobo-
ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-no-sweet.
l know it, / know it, a-link, a-link;
don't throw it, throw it, throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground. )
why didn't you stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"

piled, Couldn't COS he sang so."-

Assaulted by Negress.

While Mrs. Belle Martin, who is en-
ployed in a laundry at Brookhaven,
was on her way to work, she was met
at a narrow place on the sidewalk by a
young negro woman, named Addie Will
liams, and on turning to step aside to
let the negress pass, was struck in the
face and knocked into the gutter. The
negro pleaded guilty to assault and
battery and was fined Sl00 and SEN
fenced to Jail for thirty days, the limit
of the law. There was much suppressed
excitement at the outrage, and it looked
for a time as if the negress would be
taken in hand and given additional
punishment by resentful white citizens.
