That our American Forests abound N
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores Of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely TO the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

Lost In Caris.

After some hours OF sightseeing in
Paris an Engllshman lost his way and
could not get back to his hotel. he
asked first one and then another, but
the foreigners apparently did not un-
derstand their own language. At last
in sheer disgust he tore a leaf out Of
his pOcketbOOk, wrote upon 1t the
name Of his hotel and silently present
ed 1t to the next passerby. The, man
looked at him cOmpassionately and
beckOned him to follow, and without
word they proceeded up one street and
down another. Finally the wanderer
saw the door Of his hotel and in his
joy blurted out in English: THANK you
very much. l am greatly obliged to
you" The other stared at him in
amazement and then blurted out: You
duffer! Why didn't you speak before?
/ thought you were deaf and dumb"

RootIess Cactus of California.
Curious among vegetable growths OF
the new world and one which is sell
dom seen Of men is the rOOtless cactus
of the California desert This plant,
round, compact growth, rolls about the
level floor Of the desert for some eight
or nine months of the year. tossed
hither and yon by the winds which
blow with fierceness over all OF Cali
fornia's sand plat during those months.
At the coming Of the rains, or. rath-
er, the cloudbursts, which sweep the
desert In its springtime. this cactus
takes root wherever it happens to have
been dropped by the last wind OF
which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
it small shoots. which in turn become
cact, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in size
rapidly, sucking the moisture both
from the parent plant and from the
surrounding earth. The roots do not
penetrate the soil deeply, but spread
often over a circle whose radius is not
less than ten feet These roots, too.

Fun La Necessity.

Most people have the impression that
fun and humor are life incidentals, not
necessities; that they are luxuries and
have no great bearing upon ones ca

Many think OF fun as frivolous, indi-
eating a lack of serious purpose in life.
There are parents who Nbuke their
children because they W.T. to have

part which fun and humor play in the
physical economy and their influence

The state pharmaceutical association
closed three-day's session at Boise
the 10th with banquet at the Idanha.
The druggists discussed the liquor
traffic by drug stores and it was the
sense of the meeting that no license
be issued to drug stores for the sale
of liquor and that druggists con6ne
themselves to dispensing liquors rigidly
under prescriptions.
Pure Food Inspector Field spoke
and notified the druggists that fruits
dispensed at soda fountains must be
pure; that the presence of benzoate
of soda would not be tolerated.
New officers were elected as fol-
lows: President, w. S. Whitehead,

OUGHT TO HAVE TOURNAMENT.

The idea of baseball tournament as
suggested in these columns last week
has met with approval among local
followers of the national game. 1t is
argued that baseball is practically
the only star attraction for celebration.
Horseracing does not commend itself,
owing to the great expense necessary
to provide suitable race course, and
there are few real race horses in the
country, anyway. Baseball is enjoyed
and appreciated by all. From the
small boy who scampers around in
front of the grandstand and filings in
pert paragraphs of praise for the home
team and all sorts of joshery for visit
ors, to the elderly, grey haired lady
who squirms uneasily when the home
boys are in a tight place and who
gIasps her parasol a bit tighter and
viabrates her fan more vigorously by
way of appreciation of a grandstand
play, the baseball fever is equally con-
tagious.
OF course, different pastimes appeal
to different natures and dispositions.
Ii is true, however, that baseball APP
peals to more persons and interests
the multitudes more than any other
attraction so far devised. 1t is also
true that good, fast games can be ar
ranged for at a moderate expense.
Teams from Vollmer, Nez Perez,
Cottonwood, Kamiah, Sites and other
points can be brought here to contest
with the local ball players for the
championship of the county. A sum
could be secured to provide a hand
some trophy to be contested for, in
addition to the usual purse. Saturday S
game demonstrates the class of base
ball that would be dished out. It's
classy, and right up-to-the-half second.
Let's have ball tournament about
the End, Bird and 4th of July by all
means.

Emma Goldman will not do much
harm. She will be applauded by some,
no doubt, but they will be of that class
which is known to and watched by
the police on account of their lawless-
ness.
In Chicago and in some other large
cities the Goldman woman has been
forbidden to speak in public, but Chi
cago, unlike Spokane, has a big colony
of reds" who are extremely danger

is far from desirable that Miss Gold
man should have the privilege of
speaking here, but the sound common

to minimize any bad effects of her

GOLDMAN TO SPEAK IN SPOKANE

The Spokesman-Review of May
20, says:
1t must be rather disappointing to
Emma Goldman, exponent of an
archy, to find that she is permitted to
talk in western cities without police
interference. Notoriety is as the
breath of life to persons of her class,
and they are the better pleased when
they can pose before their deluded fol-
lowers as martyrs to tyrranical gov
ernments. Simply to talk, without
creating an agitation, is not what they
want.
Mayor Moore and Chief of Police
Rice are quoted as saying there will
be no interference here with the
Goldman woman as long as she does
nothing to disturb the peace. If she
undertakes to stir her hearers up to
acts of violence against established in
stitutions of government or to the COM
mission of crime she will, of course,
have to be held responsible for the out
come.
1t is believed, however, that in Spo-
kane there is very little of the element
to which she mainly appeals. The
general intelligence of this community
is one of the best guarantees that could
be desired that anarchistic apostles like

origin at q time. he says, when the
man OF letters was a helpless person

and therefore blind to his surround
ings. In this form he has been rep
resented In the comic papers. But

Too Slow TO Be a Soldier.

going through the baHDnet exercise
with q long handled brush In lien or

wasting his time. The sudden blow
caused the lad to lose his balance and
fall down the hoist shaft, but fortu-
nately he kept his hold on the brush

shaft. broke his fall and enabled him
to grasp the chain, down which Ae slid
