BIG BEAN CROP.

Juliaetta Farmers Have 800 Acres
Now Growing.
JULIAETTA, Idaho, July 2S.-Al-
though hindered by unfair freight
rates, which give the California bean
grower an opportunity to ship his
product to Montana common points
at the same rate given the Juliaetta
former, the ranchers on the ridges
around Juliaetta will grow 500 acres
of beans this year. The farmers have
decided to quit the business and the
area has been reduced because bean
buyers will not contract the growing
crop, owing to the experience of the
last two years, when the shipper has
often lost money.

TO sea-sickness might possibly become
immune by this treatment for the
blues of everyday life. The giant
swing, while it is not much like the
%aerostat, gives the same feeling to
some.
Then there is the airship, which ma.
Jestlcally winds about the outside of a
tall tower and then winds down again.
Merry-go-rounds are numerous and
despite the fact that this is the father
OF all thrills, it still has its patrons
among the children.
Among the time-honored creations is
the shoot-the-chutes, which consists Of
a slide down a %toboggan and a few
bounces after the boat strikes the
water of the lake at the bottom of the
chute. If you're wise you'll not sit
in the front seat. There's where the
big bump m and the occupants of
the bow of the boat feel the leaps over
the water most.
Having travelled on rides enough to
stimulate an appetite for something in
a different line we steer our down
state friend into the stationary de-
vices for the same purpose. These are
of every variety. You step into one
at random. The floor starts to move
with a circular motion toward the top
of the room. If it moves backwards
from you, intuition tells you to step
forward. Don't step too speedily or
you'll find yourself walking on the
ceiling, head down. Finally an open
ing is reached. You step out onto a
floor which bounces up and down as
you meander along. A moment later
you walk upon what seems to be the
top of an airship, loosely inflated. BY
that time, if you're one of the fair
sex, you need protection. The recess

Ethereal VS., Mundane,

Two men sat on a park bench one
starry evening recently, says the New
York Times. Through powerful
glasses they were examining the firma-
ment. 1t was apparent that one of
them was an enthusiastic astronomer.
He seemed sufficiently familiar with
the smallest star to call it by it's first
name-that is, if stars have first
names.
Drawing his companions attention
to a particular star in close proximity
to the handle of the Dipper, he said:
Perhaps you may be able to appre-
ciate the immensely of distance be-
tween that star and our earth when
say it would take more than 100 years
for a 40-horsepower automobile run
ming at full speed to reach it."
BY the quality of awe in his friends
voice, it was plain that he was un
usually impressed, as he said:

thing Of the gasoline bill"

Freak of a Kansas Storm.

A curious freak of the tornado took
place on the Tucker farm, says the
Smith County Pioneer. Mr.. Tucker,
who was lying in bed with a broken
leg, could not run to a place of safety
when the storm was seen coming. His
wife gathered the three little children
and they all piled on the bed with Mr..
Tucker, the wife saying that IL all
were killed they would all die to.
gether.
After the storm Mrs. Tucker found
herself about so yards away, two lit
tie girls down in the bed of the creek,
the little boy sitting on a pile of straw,
all unhurt. Looking toward the house
Mrs. Tucker saw all of it swept away
except the floor. But the bed still
stood where it did before the storm
and her husband was still lying upon
it without a scratch.

Just come up on the roof, sir, and
I'll show you the cage and tell you all
that | know about the professor, but
before we go a step further let me
warn you that | don't believe a word
of what the newspapers printed about
him. No, sir, | won't and can't believe
that such a true gentleman as the pro-
lessor always showed himself to be
could have deliberately set out to rob
the government of over SIS 600. It's
preposterous to think of, but it's just
like the newspapers to make the mat
ter as sensational as possible.
Take care you don't tear your coat
on that nail. I'll have my boy pull it
out when he comes home from school.
Now, sir, step this way, and you can
see for yourself how innocent the pro-
lessor was of any evil intentions.
Look! Do you think this fiat tin roof
looks like a robbers roost? It's RI
diculous; yet to read the newspapers
you would think that we landlords are
the friends of robbers, and all manner
of thieves. We landlords have a hard
enough struggle to live, without the
newspapers making it any harder
for us.
Yes, sir, this is the cage where the
professor kept his three big eagles,
and now I'll tell you how he came to
stop with me, and why he had such
strange-like pets. You see, l had just
lately taken this house and had spent
the last dollar l had in the world in
furnishing it, and was glad enough to
have such a nice gentleman as the pro-
lessor come along the second day after
| put up my sign and ask il l hadn't
a furnished front room to let, with
running water and a good deep closet
where he could keep his clothes.
Woll, sir, l snapped him up at once,
as l could see he was a gentleman,
and, besides, he looked neat and pros
porous, and l felt l wouldn't have to

MORGAN NOT A BARGAINER

$l5, and we drank more coffee and
smoked. Next day he dropped to $500
and | rose to $3.50. We were very
cheerful over the coffee and tobacco
that day. We had the carpet spread
before us to admire. 1t was evident
that we would strike a bargain yet.
And just before | left Cairo we did

mine for $50. 1t would have cost $3.50

Astonished Great Pianist.

A collection of anecdotes of musical

Anton Rubinstein. When the great
pianist was making his tour of the
United States he sat one day in a

scenery. Suddenly a man sitting
across the aisle spat owe Rubinstein's
head out of the open window. The

worry about him not paying his rent
on time. But before he took the room
he asked if he couldn't go up on the
roof and see if it would suit him for a
certain purpose. l was somewhat sur
prised at him wanting to rent the
roof, but thinking him a photographer,
or something like that, | brought him
up here and he was real pleased. So
he told me his business, and I rented
this roof to him without any hesitation
at all. It isn't every day one can rent
a scrap of roof for more than a good
sunny front room, and you can't blame
me for doing so.
Well, sir, he was a kiteologist, as he
told me. He flew kites to study the
winds and the temperature at a great
height. He wasn't in the employ of
the government, but was studying on
his own account. He took his silk
hat off and sat down right over there,
and explained all about it to me. His
kites weren't like those that the boys
fly, nor were they like l have seen
pictures of in the papers--great big
box-like things-but they were eagles
real live eagles. He had three of
them, and he would attach a strong
string to their legs and let them fly
up into the heavens with a thermom-
eter and barometer attached, or some
such-like scientific instruments, and
when he was ready, he would gently
draw them down again.
Well, sir, it was a pleasure to hear
him talk; he knew everything about
eagles and kites and the heavens, and
Of curse / consented for him to bring
his birds and fly them from my roof,

house from would care at all. Which
] can say, he didn't. So the next day
the professor came with his three
eagles and placed them up here ON the
roof in that big cage, and it was good
to see how he did love those birds, and
play with them, and teach them all
kinds of tricks. My gracious, but they
were strong! | really think the small.
est of the three could have lifted a big
child in it's claws; and the professor
explained how that they must be strong
to carry his scientific instruments SO
high in the air.
Well, a week passed and he didn't
fly his eagles, for he wal waiting for
them to get accustomed to their new
location, SO they would return like car.

their legs got broken; and at the end
Of the week, before the professor
could try his experiment at all, that
dreadful accident happened, which the
papers made SO much of, and which
frightened the professor, who was
timid, like all real scientific men, SO
that he never came back, even for his
clothes.
You see, just across the street from
here is the subtreasury, and every lit
tic while a wagon drives up to the
door filled with big canvas bags full
of gold, and the clerks will come out
and get the gold and carry 1t into the
vaults. Well, on Tuesday morning,
just after ] had finished some washing
and was going out to get a new handle
to my irons, which had got broken, the
wagon drove up before the %subtreasury
door and the clerks began to take out
