never said much about my house plants,
because I never before had anything to
say, but in our small collection in sunny
window, a night blooming cereus is
about ready to open its second blossom.
The first one came out in March. A lady
at Pretty Marsh sent us the plant four or
five years ago by Uncle Madge, who was
that way on business. She only lived a
few months after that, and we have al
ways held her in tender memory by the
gift she so kindly sent.

certain mother in one of our small cities
was very fond of playing progressive
whist. One evening she received a fine
silver cup for being the most successful
player in group Of her society friends. She
was much delighted with her success, and on
showing it to her family the next morning,
her son, in his early teens, said, Huh j can
beat that, for made $40 at pool last night!'
Immediately the eyes Of the mother were
opened in more senses than one, for in the
first place, she had no idea that her son had
thus been spending his time, and in the next
place, partners in sin, how could she condemn
hims 1t taught her lesson once for all.

Work That Tells.
Plenty Of It Has Been Done Right
Here in Ellsworth.
Cures that last are cures that tell. To
thoroughly know the virtues of a medi-
cine you must investigate the cures and
see if they prove permanent. Doan's
Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty Of
proof exists right here in Ellsworth.
People who testified years. ago to relief
from backache, kidney and urinary dis
orders, now declare that relief was per-
manent and the cure perfect. How can
any Ellsworth sufferer longer doubt the
evidence?

A party of youths were camping in
the mountains of the upstate district.
says the Philadelphia Ledger. One of
them disturbed tia others every mo-
ment his lungs would allow BY cease
less attempt to sing. One of the
party, being somewhat of a musician.
inwardly vowed vengeance, and at last
determined to put his feelings to
words. Supper was in progress as
the would-be singer entered. At the
end of the verse he turned to the
musician and said: The funny thing
about me is that I can sing with g
chew in" The musician looked at
him in a kind of charitably contempt
ible way, and answered in a long
drawl: Well then, for goodness
sake, put chew in"

IS WORTH OWNING
ACRE OF NEW YORK GROUND
BRINGS S7,oCo,ooO.
Tract on Which Fifth Avenue Hotel
Stands Sold at That Figure
Once Bought fer Few
Glass Beads.

In Fifth avenue. New York, between
Twenty-thiId and Twenty-fourth
streets. facing Madison square. a
tract of land a little over an acre has
just been sold for S7.250,O00. The
old Fifth Avenue hotel. which occupies
this plot OF ground. is to be torn down
ard a colossal Office building is to
take its place. Since the present build
ings are to be removed their value
does not enter into the selling price,
which is simply in payment for the
exclusive and permanent use OF an
acre of Manhattan island.
The first time that this tract Of
land was sold its value represented
only a few beads out Of one OF the
strings of glass beads paid to the In
diaus who were in possession Of Man
haitian Island when the white men
came here
After that there were successive
sales. each one at higher price,
until in 1859 Mr. Emo bought the
roadhouse that then stood on the cor
ner and the yards and stables around
it and spent s200O,0O0 erecting what
was then the most costly and the big
gest hotel in the United States.
In 1900, after Mr. Eno's death. the
hotel property was sold at public sale
for S4.225. 600 This sale to the Of
flee building syndicate is the third in
so years.
Long before the Dutch founded the
village Of New Amsterdam on Man
haitian island this tract of land was
here. Since the geological changes
which diverted the Hudson from the
west of The highlands to its present
valley. ever since there has been an
island bounded by the North. East
and Harlem rivers. this plot of land
has existed in exactly the same dimen-
sions and area.
For the purpose of raising crops it
is not as valuable as it was then.
Its intrinsic value has been further
diminished by cutting down the great
trees which grew there.
Why is this land worth so much?
Because it is in the center of Man
haitian island
And the area of Manhattan island
is worth so many billions of dollars
because so many millions of people
live and work here. If there were
fewer millions of people here the
land would be worth fewer billions Of
dollars. If the millions of people here
continue to increase by further mil
lions, the value of the land will con-
tinue to increase by further billions

WHEN A ~HuNcH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested a
Bet on wing Ting"

Kay Spence. a well-known horseman
of Mexico, Mo. won $1,000 at the
Louisville, KY, race meeting a short
time ago as the result of a 'hunch.
Mr.. Spence has a large breeding
stable of runners near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked it up. 1t was a Chi
nese laundry ticket. He looked at
the books" again and found that there
was an entry with a Chinese name,
Wing Ting. at ten TO one. That set
tied it, for he considered he had re-
ceived a "hunch" that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say, those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sew
enth son of the seventh son.-Kansas

THE STAMP OF TRUTH.
A Nature Story About Monkey Who
Earked at Cat.

In these days of nature-faking aDec-
dotes the following. which bears the
stamp of truth, will be welcomed by
all animal lovers. A photograph own
er living near Cheat mountain Ran
dolph county w. Va, had two pets
of which he was very fond One was
a Makaki monkey and the other
large and fierce tempered cat of male
gender. The colored nanny" who
looked after the house detested the
monkey, but made a favorite of the
cat and gave it a large plate Of food
every midday. the monkey receiving
no attention whatever from her AS
the simian watched the cat eating
while he went hungry, his brain de-
vised the following clever scheme:
Placing a blank on the monograph
he ran quickly into the neighboring
house and took a bone from the big,
savage dog who was gnawing it.
When he had recovered from his as
constituent the dog pursued the thief
into The parlor where the phonograph
was and barked loudly The monkey,
on the top Of the bookcase. was Sc
cure from harm. The old colored
woman, thinking the dog was after
her beloved erimalkin. chased him
out and did not see the cause of the
trouble or dream that the dog had
been making a first-class barking rec
ord
The following day nanny brought
the plate of food as usual and the cat
began to eat The old woman was no
sooner ont of sight and hearing than
the monkey placed the record in the
machine and the air was hleG with
the noise Of angry barks. The cat on
hearing the voice of her enemy APP
parently in the some room emitted
one blood-curdling screech, sprang
through the window and spent two
nights and a day at the top of the
large chestnut tree outside When
the trick was finally discovered the
monkeys owner was so pleased that
he gave orders that the two animals
should be treated equally in the mat
ter of food. 1t is reported that he has
refused a large sum of money for the
monkey. Fun permission is given to
those publishers desiring to incOrpor-
ate this anecdote in text books on
natural history to be used in the pub
lie schools.

A POEM ON JEROME.

Jerome, the City of Wonders,
The newest Idaho town
1t has no place upon the map.
Nor has it a city gown,
But on the last of September,
The year nineteen hundred seven,
A host of purchasers gathered
To make it a future heaven.
Between the hours of one and seven,
The time of setting sun,
Full ninety thousand dollars
In town lots cash had won,
The city lately christened,
Was opened for review.
From many states of the Union
Good men and women too,
Had gathered for the drawing
For the finest of earth's land;
And all had come with money,
Good cash had they in hand,
Their fondest expectations,
Were more than met that day,
By the North Side Water company,
Who had grandly paved the way
For the finest city ever seen,
With fertile land each side,
Where plenty and contentment,
All may in safety 'bide.
With electric light now shining,
At the close of this first day,
With water now ALLOWING
Along the public way,
The electric line now building
Will soon be passing by
The farms improved by honest toll
With fields of wheat and rye.
No city ever hes compared
With this CITY of Jerome.
Each man who reads these humble lines
Should here soon make his home. :,

| ton of it's lower course it flows through
deep box canon. At the head of
this canon there is a deep valley,
spreading out so as to make an ideal
reservoir site by placing a dam across
the mouth Of the canon. This is the
project which the state of Idaho has
just approved, and the successful con
struction of the dam viii mean the
addition Of $50, 600 acres OF irrigable
land to the already prosperous Shoshone
and Twin Falls districts. The water is
to be brought through a long tunnel
and delivered to some forty miles Of
canals through fine orchard and farm
ing lands.
Nature has given her best efforts to
making this project notable success.
The lower part of the Salmon river is a
high precipice-walled stream. The walls
are so deep that the canon itself will
form the reservoir without spreading
the waters over any of the adjacent
land. The big dam is to be 200 feet
high and will become Of the three high
est dams in the world. The regeon to
be watered from the Salmon river viii
contain some of the very finest orchard
and fruit land in America, being in no
wise second to the famous orchard lands
of Washington around Yakima and
Spokane. The storage capacity of this
dam is 800, acre feet, or one-half
greater than Idaho's greatest reservoir
at the present time.
Some idea of the value of the home
lands adjacent to Shoshone, the lucky,
way be gathered from the fact that the
assessments for Lincoln county on tax
able farm lands last year passed the
two million dollar mark, and it is con-
fidently expected that for 1907 they
will pass the six million mark. With
the completion of the government
horseshoe canal and the Salmon river
project the taxable valuation will easily
pass ten millions of dollars.
The lands which are being reclaimed
IN the Shoshone district viii grow sixty
to seventy bushels of wheat to the acre
under irrigation, 100 bushels OF corn, "a
thousand pounds of fax and oats, hops
barley and other grains in proportion.
The orchasd yields compare favorably
with any fruit country in the United
States, the famous Blue Lakes orchards
being among the finest in the world.
For the man VINO would like to estab-
fish himself in a permanent home,
where crops would not be a cause for
worry by night and extreme toll by
day, and where the absolute certainty
of the yield from virgin soil could be
determined, and where all the advan-
tages of modern civilization accompany
the farming and city life, where ecuca-
tional advantages are Of the best and
life runs along like a song, there is no
finer land to be sought than the para
disc of the Snake river regeon. and no
better location than the country around
the lucky.

Rudeness of Mother Earth.

There's a lot of contrariness about
Jur Mother Earth" said the woman.
You'd think if we loved her she'd be
good to us, but she isn't. This is
what she did to me all right enough.
l went down to lie on her sands for a
week and loll in her ocean. For few
days she was lovely; then she put
sand in my ears and made me deaf
as a post for awhile; then she sicked
her jelIyfish on me so II was absolute
agony to go ia the water. This wasn't
enough, SO she ended by handing me
an underdone soft.shell crab that sent
me straight home to the doctor"
