Show a Bad Example.

A grocer who was noted for his
carefulness had an advertisement
inserted in local newspaper for a
message boy, and a young fellow
who understood the kind Of a gen.
tleman who was advertising came to
apply for the situation, and while
the grocer was telling him how care
full he must be fly settled on a bag
of sugar, and the grocer caught it
and threw it away. The boy then
said:
"If you want me to be careful
you are showing me a bad exam
pie"
"Why" replied the former.
Because" said the boy, "you
have thrown that fly away without
brushing the sugar off its feet."-.

STAGE REALISM.
Humor and Courtesy Of Irving In Rs.
ply to q Critic.

ply to q Critic.
The late Sir Henry Irving's f.
nous London production of ''Hen.
ry WILL" ended with the christen-
ing of the infant Princess Elizabeth,
for which, of course, a large life
like doll was used instead of a real
baby. The play had run a good
many nights when one day the
actor received a letter of protest
from one who made it plain that he
was a firm believer in realism on
the stage.
"l'he complete success of Henry
VIII was married last night" the
letter ran, when the king Kissed
the baby. The whole house Uttered.
Herewith l offer the hire of one
real baby--my own-for the pur-
pose of personating the offspring"
1t was delicate matter for Sir
Henry to decline the services of a
mans own baby, but with the help
of his manager, Mr.. Bran Stoker,
the famous actor composed a reply
which combined courtesy and hu-
NOR and which has been incorporat-
ed in personal "reminiscences Of
Henry Irving"
"Nlr. Irving fears" wrote Mr..
Stoker, "that there might be some
difficulty in making the changes
you suggest with regard to the
Princess Elizabeth in the play.
eff reality is to be achieved it
should of necessity be real reality
and not seeming reality, for that
we have already on the stage. A
series of difficulties then arises, any
of which you and your family might
find insuperable.
eff your real baby were provided
it might be difficult or even impos-
sible for the actor who impersonates
King Henry VIII. to feel the real
feelings of a father toward it. This
would necessitate your playing the
part OF the king and further would
require that your wife should play
the part of Queen Anne Bolevn.
This might not suit either of you,
especially as in reality Henry VIII.
had afterward his wife's head cut
off.
"To this your wife might natural
ly object. But even if she were
willing to accept this form of reality
and YOU were willing to accept the
responsibility on your part Mr..
Irving would, for his own sake, have
to object.
"By law if you had your wife de-
capitated YOU would be tried for
murder. But as Mr.. Irving would
also be tried as an accessory before
the fact he, too, would stand in
danger of his life. To this he dis
tinctly objects, as he considers the
end aimed at is not worth the. risk
involved"

His Idea Of q Wife.

Discussing with representative
OF an Irish paper the qualities q
wife should possess, tramp said
the other day that she should be
IAN all around woman" between
forty and fifty years, not handsome,
but temperate. IF there is any
drinking to be done," he said, 81

to walk twenty miles a day and be
good at begging bottles and pota-
toes and also at ballad singing. She
should be able to fight a round or
two to defend her husband when IN

PARTISAN DuELs.
There Are Three kinds-Trieks e
Gain Time While Fighting.

|
Ducls are common enough in
Fsance nowadays, but they are rob-
bed of their picturesque side, says
the Household Brigade Magazine.
They may be divided into three
catcgories, which ] place in the or
der of their frequency of occur
rence-journalists' duels, duels that
are the outcome of tongue too
we'll hung or fabricated by an over
dose of alcohol, and. thirdly, those
whore the opponents are out to kill
if they can. The above order also
represents the degree of publicity
accompanying each.
OF those due to an i'll considered
or ill bred remark comparatively
few come to an interchange of shots
or thrusts. but lizzle out after an
interchange of cards. Morning
brings a more reasonable frame of
mind. and things are quieted down
by those unfortunate individuals
who have been selected as seconds.
When such encounters do take place
at least one of the principals is only
too DESTROYS for privacy to be main
tanned, the safest possible condi-
tons are arranged, and one only
hears about the affair after it is all
over.
The materials for disagreement
are usually a night restaurant and
the one extra bottle which might
have been dispensed with. Only
recently respectable married man
found himself confronted in COM
bat by an unknown Argentine with
whom he had apparently had dis
agreement the night before at a
we'll known second rate cosmopol
itan cafe much frequented between
about a. IN. and breakfast time.
Neither of the gentlemen knew
quite what it was all about, but
their seconds said it was all right,
so they had to go through with it,
and no harm was done. The third
type of duel is serious and very
rare. 1t usually takes the form of
row about a lady.
There are a good many tricks to
gain time in dueling. Dropping the
sword is one, resting the point on
the ground or making wide parry
so as to scrape the ground is anoth-
er. In either of these cases the
point has to be sandpapered and
treated with an antiseptic or held
in fame, so that there may be no
sisk of wound being poisoned.
With pistols the conditions are
arranged according to the serious
ness of the quarrel. As rule, duel
ing pistols at twenty-five PAGES are
used. The dueling pistol is muzzle
loaded and rifed. Its pull off is
regulated by the circumstances;
also the powder charge. Seconds
often arrange to put in only suffi-
Gent powder to drive the bullet out
of the bore. Sometimes they drop
the bullet into the left hand when
loading and hammer an imaginary
one down the barrel.

30 Not Afraid.

He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount a fear. If you have no faith
In a benefcent power above you,
but see only an adamantine fate
coiling its folds about nature and
man, then reflect that the best use
Of fate is to teach us courage. If
you have no confidence in any for

Heart Strength

Heart Strength. or Heart Weakness means Nerve
Strength. or Nerve Misunderstanding more. Pos
lively. not one weak heart in hundred is in Il
SELF actually diseased. 1t is almost always .
hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault.
This obscure nerve-the Cardiac. or Heart Nerve
simply needs. and must have. more power, more
stability, more controlling, more governing
strength. Without that the Heart must continue
to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have
these same controlling nerves.

One woman might have been seventy, but she
looked younger she was so hale and portly. she
had double, bristling chin, her gray eyes twinkled
humorously over her spectacles, and she wore
wide-faring black straw bonnet with purple bows
on the inside of the rim. The afternoon was very
warm and she held palm-leaf fan in one black
mitted hand which she waved gently now and
then against her capacious bosom.

pace this warm afternoon.
There had not been any rain for a long time, and
everything very dusty. This road was not
much travelled and between the wheel ruts grass
growing; but the soil flew up like smoke from
the horses hoofs and the wheels. The blackberry
vines climbing over the stone walls on either side,
and the meadow-sweet and bareback bushes were
powdered thickly with dust and had gray leaves
instead of green. The bigleaved things such as
burdock, growing close to the ground, had their
veins all outlined in dust
The two women rode in peaceful sort of way
the old lady famed herself mildly and the younger
slapped the horse mechanically. Neither spoke,
till they emerged into more open space on hill
crest. There they had uninterrupted view Of
the northwest sky; the trees had hidden it before.

THE PRIMARY LAW
STANDS THIS YEAR

The action of the supreme court
in refusing to pass upon the merits
of the direct primary law, involv-
ing its constitationality, means that
it is very improbable that any de-
cision will be made before the COM
ing election is held, and that for
this election at least the law will
stand as it is, including the second
choice provision and other features
which have been the subject of dis
putes among the lawyers. The
action of the supreme court may
have been strictly i'll accordance
with the technical practice OF that
tribunal, but it is to be regretted
that the question could not have
been settled now and all doubts set
at rest before the primaries are
held.

Mem VARIETY OF WHEAT
THICK AS SUGAR CANE
Has a Record Of Yielding 277
Bushels per Acre

MINNEAPOIIs, May %. Wheat
with stalks like sugar cane and
yielding PIT bushels of highly nut
ritious kernels to the acre has been
produced as result of experiments
made in Idaho by Allen Adams of
No. 1900 Portland avenue, this
city.
The new wheat has been named
Alaska" because of its hardness.
1t is either spring or winter wheat,
Just as the farmer desires to SOW.
1t is so sturdy that storms that ruin
other stalk affect its giant stems
but little, and the heads main up
right through ordinary hailstorms.
The yield shows that Adams has
been able to obtain an increase of
222- fold. One head of the giant
wheat was planted in the fall Of
1904. The seeds from that head
were planted the next year and
seven pounds of seed obtained.
This was sown i'll the spring of 1906
and from the seven pounds were
harvested SSl mounds that fall
in the fall of the same year he SOW
ed it as winter wheat, but condi
tons were adverse. Almost all the
blue stem" and club was de
stroycd, and only a third of the
crop of experimental wheat came
to maturity, yet there was a yield
50, 900 pounds. y heavy hailstorm
in July was the cause of the ruined
wheat crop, which left scarcely any
of the ordinary wheat standing.
Further experiments brought
forth Y ield of III bushels to an
acre. The Idaho College of Agri-
culture has made-a laboratory test
of the wheat and reports the grain
plump and sound, and that it
should make better bread than the
ordinary wheat.
