The Nezperce Herald tells of a
chicken raiser who has a novel
way of making his hens work
overtime. He made his hen
coop air tight and put curtains
at the window. At noon he
draws the curtains, making the
hen house perfectly dark, so
that the biddies go to roost, and
at one o'clock he raises the
curtains, letting the light in.
The hens think another day has
dawned and proceed to lay
another egg. It's a darned
mean trick, equal to the man

Seven children were burned up

a residence just outside Palouse
City one night late last week.
The children were of two families
The fathers were at work in the
harvest fields and the mothers
left the little ones alone while
they attended a theater in town.
This terrible accident should
serve as an object lesson to all
parents who are prone to leave
their children at home alone
while they amuse themselves
abroad. 1t is far better to miss
some of the pleasures of life than
to have such burdens on ones
conscience until the end of time.

During the trial Of Steve
Adams for murder in Idaho and
Colorado, we were told by press
dispatches that his little wife
was by his side through all the
trying ordeals. And she was.
Cunning lawyers, in order to
create sympathy for their client,
saw to it that the "frail, heart
broken little woman" faced
Judge and jury and listened to
her husbands record in all it's
narrowing details. But when
the husband was acquitted what
did this little woman do? Did
she go with him as a wife would
with a husband exonerated from
crime? Not much. She quit
him cold, it is said, refused pos i.
lively to live with him, all of
which goes to show that Steve
Adams, though acquitted, is
anything but an innocent man.
That little woman" knows hin
best. -Mountaineer.

Ten reasons For Home Trading

because: You examine
your purchase and are assured of
satisfaction before investing
your money.
because: Your home mer-
chant is always ready and willing
to make right any error or de-
fective article purchased of him.
3.-Because: When you are
sick or for any reason it is
necessary for you to ask for
credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of
a mail order house?
4.-Because: If a merchant is
willing to extend you credit you
should give him the benefit of
your cash trade.
5.-Because: Your home mer-
chant pays local taxes and exerts
every effort to build up and
better your market, thus increas-
ing both the value of the city
and country property.
6.-Because: The mail order
merchant does not tighten your
tax or in any way help the value
of your property.
/ because: The mail order
merchant does nothing for the
benefit of markets or real estate
values.
8.-Because: eff your town
is good enuf to live in it is good
enuf to spend your money in. -
Gov. Folk, of Missouri.
9.-Because: The best citizens
in your community patronize
home industry. Why not be one
of the best citizens?
1O.-Because: If you will give
your home merchant an opportu-
nifty to compete, by bringing
your order to him in the quanti-
ties you buy out of town, he will
demonstrate that, quality con-
sidered, he will save you money.

Presidents Message Causes Mighty
Demonstration.


''The message is the presidents an
swer to the whole tribe of critics who
have tried to break down his admin
istration by blaming him with the loss
es and business disasters of the panic.
He only states at length what the in
believe, that our business troubles
came not from the exposure, but from
the long tension of unlawful and evil
methods. He has the American people
with him"
This statement was made Friday by
Senator Jonathan p. Dolliver, of Iowa.
apropos of President Roosevelt's mes
sage, which is regarded by public men
irrespective of party or their attitude
towards the president as one Of the
boldest and most audacious executive
documents ever presented for the con-
sideration of the congress.
'"The president" Senator Dolliver
added, threw the GAUNTLET down to
his enemies, to the men who have
charged that the enforcement of his
policies has resulted in widespread
business disaster, and he made it plain
that his administration will continue
to fight tooth and nail what on a pre-
vious occasion he referred to as bad
corporations"
The message deals with the recent
decision of the supreme court regard
ing the unconstitutionality of the en-
ployers' liability act, the difficulty ex-
perienced by the department of justice
in enforcing Interstate commerce and
anti-trust laws, and asks'for additional
legislation governing the relations be-
tween capital and labor and between
the great corporations and the public.
The president also asks for legislation
providing compensation for all en-
ployes injured while in the government
service.
The president charges that certain
wealthy men have banded together for
the purpose of overthrowing all who
honestly administer the law, and he
says that many of the assaults, whether
editorial or in speeches. were made
at command of the financial pirates.

spent such large sums of money" indi-

The king and crown prince, upon

BATTLE FLAG AT AUCTION.
Ancient American Naval Pennant
Brings $i,25O i'm London.

The Gag of the American man of
war Chesapeake and the ''Balaklava
bugle," two of the most valuable war
relics. Of a collection Of antiquities that
belonged to the late T. C. Middlebrook,
of London, was secured Thursday at
the auction sale of the collection for
American buyers. The Chesapeake
flag was captured in the fight with the
British ship Shannon in 1913, ard
there was good bidding for the faded
and torn piece of bunting, the authen-
ticity of which is vouched for in a
written history of ownership since
Midshipman Grundy, of the royal ma
Wy, came into possession of the torn
trophy nearly century ago. The flag
was sold for $4,250 to London art
dealer, who also purchased the bugle
for $1,000. 1t was upon this instru-
ment that the order to the light bril-
gade to charge at the battle of Bala-
klava was sounded. The dealer adj
mitted that these highly interesting
curios had been purchased by him for
different parties in America, but more
than this he would not say. There
was rumor that he was acting for
Cornelius Vanderbilt, but this was sub
sequently denied and London does not
yet know in whose hands the flag and
bugle have fallen. .yy

JEROME LESS FIERY.
Prosecutor Even Defends Wife OF Har.
ry Thaw.

William Travers Jerome. represent
ative of the people, Thursday made a
mastery plea that justice be done in
the case of Harry Kendall Thaw. Vim
dictiveness and sneers were lacking;
logic, analysis and calm considera-
ton of the facts were their substi-
tutes. 1t was not blind appeal for
the vengeance of the law that Mr.. Je-
rome addressed to the jury. but ever
and always there was the note of fair
ness, even at times of mercy. The
year that has elapsed since the first
trial had wrought a wonderful and
startling change in the prosecutor.
No longer attempting to shield the
name of Stanford White, he accepted
the story told by Evelyn! Nesbit Thaw
as true--all but the drugging-and he
made frank confession to the jury that
the velvet swings and mirrored rooms
of the studio houses described by the
girl were indeed a miserable reality
No longer attacking Evelyn Thaw as
skilled adventures, Mr.. Jerome
pleaded for the girl, because she new
er had had chance for any Of the
higher cleaner, sweeter things of life
The climax came, however, when
Mr.. Jerome denounced both Thaw and
White in one breath and classed them
as ''two degenerates quarreling over
aiwoman," and the woman, the prose-
cutor declared, knew no more-had
Il.
than to play one against the other
until In jealous rage, in blindest ha-
tired, in vengeance of an undeniaby
gross wrong done to his wife, Harry
Thaw shot and killed the architect"
