Smith, the railroad agent at q
suburban station in a western city,
saved the life of dignifed gentle
man waiting for train by pulling
him from in front of a through
train on another track. The digni-
fed gentleman lost all his dignity
for the moment and was much con-
fused, but not so much so as to for
get that something was due to the
agent. Following a grateful i'm
pulse, he thrust his hand into his
pocket and, drawing it forth, ex-
claimed:
'Man, you've saved my life!
Here's half a dollarw
ooh, never take payment for a
thing like that" answered Smith as
he turned to attend to the duties
of the moment.
'But, man, you must. You saved
my life. Have a cigar anyway

point of view, and from the letters of
inquiry with which Mr.. Shaw is being
deluged at present, coming from all
parts Of the country, east and west,
the publication is proving of unusual
interest. The Corner Book Store
received large number of the books
last week, from Lippincott and Com
pany. publishers, in Philadelphia, and
they have just been distributed in the
coast cities. All the pictures are
taken of birds captured and mounted
by Mr.. Shaw. The posture is so life
like that in every instance it is impos-
sible to detect that the birds are not
alive.

A SHREWD LITTLE GIRL.
Prompted a Question Which Saved an
Old Woman's Life.


Elizabeth Janfeld, afterward La
dy Falkland, was called an "odd
child" Sometimes her father, who
was judge, took her with him to
court. On one of these occasions a
woman was brought before him on
4 charge of witchcraft. 1t was said
that she had bewitched two or three
persons to death. The frightened
creature when asked if this were so
Tell on her knees and, weeping, con-
fessed that the accusations against
her were true.
''Did you bewitch - to death ?"
asked the judge.
eyes," was her reply.
"Did you come in the form of
black cat and breathe on him so
that he -languished away?"
81 did"
And then the Judge heard
whisper at his ear, and his little
daughter-she was only ten years
old-begged him to ask the woman
| if she had bewitched John Sy-
mondes to death.
The question was put and imme-
diately answered in the affirmative.
How had she done it? Then she
told one of her former stories, at
which all the company laughed. The
reason of the merriment was that
John Symondes was the judges
brother-in-law and at that moment
was standing near him in court.
The judge then asked why she had
made such a statement.
"Alas, sir, l knew him not" re-
piled the woman. 81 said so be-
cause you asked me-"
care you no witch ?"
"No. God knows I'm not"
| "Nor did you ever see the devil?'
'No; never in all my life"
On further examination she said
she had been told that if she did
not confess she would be tortured
until she did, but that if she admit
ted all the accusations mercy would
be shown her. She was thereupon
acquitted, and she owed her release
and probably her life to the shrewd-
ness of little girl.

Palouse Farmers Will Store
Grain.

Jfafn.
The Palouse and Kennedy Ford locals
of the Farmers Cooperative and Edu-
cational Union is giving good deal
Of attention to an investigation of the
handling of grain in bulk, and one of
the members, Mr.. John Culton, was
recently sent to Spokane to learn what
he could regarding the cost of building
and equipping elevators, and the ex-
pense of portable steel tanks for the
temporary storing of grain. The Pa
louise Republic, in speaking of Mr..
Culton's Investigations, makes the fol-
lowing comments:
"The trip was an eye-opener to Mr..
Culton. Instead of the equipment for
an elevator costing some $500, as he
had supposed, he learned that cleaner
with a capacity of 500 bushels per hour
could be installed for $275 and that
machinery for elevating the grain in
a 40 foot elevator, with a capacity of
1000 bushels per hour, would cost but
s94. A loading machine, which will
load a 100-bushel wagon box from the
steel tanks in the field in minutes,
will cost $40. The tanks themselves,
cost S85, SIP and $3.50 each, holding
respectively 1000, 1900 and 1000 bush
els. The Palouse Hardware & Imple-
ment company has offered to make
these tanks as cheaply as they can be
furnished from out of town and it is
probable that this local firm will fur
nish all the tanks used in the neigh
borhood.
cit is estimated by many farmers
that some 200 of the steel tanks will
be put into use in the wheat fields
around Palouse and in the Kennedy
Ford neighborhood the coming year.
Data secured by the farmers convinces
them that at least 3 cents per bushel
will be saved to them each year by
handling their grain in bulk, in addi-
ton to the saving of time and hard
labor. Considerable grain was shipped
in bulk this year from local houses, it
is claimed, and both the railroad men
and exporters are said to welcome the
change.
'Another matter that the members
of the union have in view is the own
ership by the farmers of their own
warehouses. To this end an option
has already been secured on local
warehouse by four of the most extern
sive wheat growers. The experience
of the owners of the Farmers ware
house at Pennington. purchased after
harvest begun last year, is convincing
argument of the wisdom of this move.
The Pennington warehouse was pur-
chased for $3.50 and paid for itself
during the one season, in addition to
paying salaries of SO per day to the
men who handled the grain. This
company only charged SOC per ton
handling charges.
