HAD HIS REVENGE.
But the Heartless Hotel Man Got In
the Last Laugh.

SfS @oSN @aSS''
A hotel proprietor in Kansas City
once told of an amusing incident con-
nected with the stay at his house Of q
rural politician.
The politician had come TO the hotel
for but one day, and he had taken his
dinner elsewhere with a friend. When
on coming to pay his bill he found
himself charged with a days board
dinner and ell he protested vigorously.
1t was explained 10 him that the
American plan was based strictly on
time and that If he chose to eat else
where it was his own lookout. The
man. however. refused to be pacified
aud paid the bill under protest. Then.
TO every ones surprise. he asked if din
ner were still on" Upon being In
formed that it lasted until in the
evening he exclaimed:
I've eaten one dinner, but I'm going
TO get my moneys worth out of this
house if | suffer all the torments Of
dyspepsia.
He then rushed into one of the dining
rooms. seized Il bill Of fare and or
dyred everything he could think of.
" hen he finally reached his limit. the
waiter handed him check for $50.

My hair is a sight without a veil,
said the former.

AS a rule. the last word is with the
woman.
Her veil she will have so the only
thing is to try to educate her into the
least injurious kind.
White and red wells are trying to

heavy meshed nets.
Blue and green wells, if the least be

the eyes. Next TO these comes brown.

TWlcKENHAM.
Famous a. tho Abode Of Many English
Literary Giants.

Famous a. tho Abode Of Many English
Literary Giants.
The place to which the lover Of Eng
lish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps Is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast of having been
the residence and beloved abode of 50
many famous literary lights. With it
are associated the immortal names of
Pope. Horace Walpole. Swift, Gay,
Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Bos-
we'll, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens.
Surely this is enough to make any
place doubly immortal. Twickenham
was well nicknamed by Horace Wal
pole the Baiae, or Tivoli, of England,
for 1t has truly been to London what
a far higher degree. The big red brick
house in Montpelier road where Alfred
Tennyson lived for so many years OF
his earlier married life was the one in
which many Of his earlier poems were
written. There his son Lionel, the sec
ond Lord Tennyson. was born, and
there the author Of "Idylls' entertained
many Of his literary friends and &C
Quaintances. That house should surely
be sacred to all lovers Of English liter
AZURE, which saw the dawn Of "In Me-
moriam," which witnessed those de-
lightful gatherings graced by Tenny-
son, Hallam and kindred spirits within
its walls. 1t il today called 'Tennyson
House. '-Westminster Gazette.

TO BEING
CALLED A "SCAB"
Hamilton Then Had Trouble
With Pickett.

Six weeks ago, Jack Thurman, John
Hamilton and man named Pickett,
engaged in "a brawl at the Kennepohl
saloon. At that time Hamilton was
fined for knocking Pickett from I'M
der his hat" as he put 1t this morning.
Today in the city court Thurman was
arraigned on charge of having as
saulted Hamilton. After the evidence
in the case was heard, Judge Converse
was convinced that Hamilton had been
the aggressOr in the trouble so he dis
missed Thurman. Hamilton stated
that the trouble he had with Pickett
was due to the fact that he had called
him a "scab" brick maker. He said
that he fought Thurman because he
had "butted-in" the controversy.

Builds Dixie Near Dalkena

John Davaz, residing near Dalkena,
has just completed large dixie in front
of his ranch. The dixie is one of the
highest in the lower river country, be-
ing about five feet higher than the high
water OF last spring. The dixie is from
45 to So feet in width at the bottom and
from IA to Is feet high at the top. It is
about one-fourth of mile long. and
will not only protect his property f1om
the flood, but will prove valuable to his
neighbors. He has provided for the
spring water on the land by two con-
crete culverts fitted with food gates to
keep the waters of the Pend Oreille
river out. Mr.. Davaz says that the cost
OF the improvement was about $1,000,
and he considers the money spent a
good investment, as he lost crops valued
at $4,000 the past year.
