Good Suggestions.

To free house of mice, sprinkle
red pepper where they are likely to
run in it. They will soon leave.
Don't discourage the boy when he
comes to you with his cares or troubles.
Sympathize with him, and thank God
he confides in you.
The sweetest purest ornament that a
woman can wear, and of which she
should feel proudest, is the clinging
necklace of her baby's arms.
When you are hopping your face in
the harvest sun, consider the good
wife in the super-heated kitchen bend
ing over hot stove in the preparation
of food, and ask yourself if you have
provided her with satisfactory help.
Full barns will bring one little satisfac-
ton if the wife is broken down at the
end of the harvest.

Clarkston Is Prosperous.

j. L. Wilkins returned this week
from Charleston where he visited with
Robt. Plunkett and VIM. Stinson, both
old Troyites. They are much pleased
with Charleston and are enjoying excel

and never will have, for the original

To keep flies from roosting on the
screen door, ready to come in when it
is opened, take piece OF an old win
dow shade, or else a folded piece of
MANILA paper as long as the door is
wide, and cut into narrow strips to
within two inches of the top, then tack
across the top of the door. The gen

This is why marriage was a failure:
He did all the counting before marriage.
He never talked his affairs over with
his wife. He thought of his wife only
as cheap housekeeper. He never
dreamed that wife deserved praise OF
compliments. He married an ideal,
and was disappointed to find it had
flaws. He paid no attention to his
personal appearance after marriage. He
treated his wife as he would not have
dared to treat another woman. June

No Panic Here.

Speaking Of public sale near Pa
louise held last week, the Republic
says: The public sale of personal
property at the T. L. Jackson farm six
miles northwest of Palouse, Wednes-
day, ranked we'll up with the other
sales that have been held in the vicin-
ity OF Palouse during the past spring,
showing willingness on the part of the
farmers to buy and an ability to pay
the money. The sale footed up a lit
tie more than $4,000, S1400 of which
was paid in cash, and bankable notes
given for the balance. The bidding
was spirited and scarcely any article
brought less than its worth. One
mare sold for $240 and other horses
went close to the 5000 mark. An or
binary COW sold ir $50" The above
doesn't look very much like the
country was suffering to any great ex-
tent from panic, does it,

Troy Copper.

The opening up Of five foot ledge
at the Inlal d property east of Troy has
had tendency to renew interest in
the mining industry in this vicinity.
Work is being pushed and the ore, as
taken out piled and sorted. 1t carries
hne gold and copper values and ought
to make a rich mine. The showing is
great, and if located in an established
mineral camp would set people wild.
There must be copper somewhere
in the hill when water, green with cop
per, oozes from the sides of the lower
tunnel.

AMENDMENT IS LOST
Effort to Have the License Law
Changed Defeated.
FIGHT ON OIL AND GAS BILL
Prohibition Amendment Read First
Time in the Senate and Ordered
To Second Reading.

Charleston, Feb. 13.--Not recognize
ing the fact that yesterday was Lin
coins birthday and legal holiday,
the house and senate both kept on
with their work. In the house the
principal fight of the day was when
the effort was made to amend the H.
cense laws so that the state could
charge the same for saloon license
as a city did, while in the senate the
resolution prohibiting the expectation
of gas from the state had an inning.
The first business In the senate was
the reading Of the prohibition amend
ment for the first time. There was, no
comment on the amendment and it
was passed to second reading, which
will be today.
Postponed Again.
It was expected th< vote on the
house joint resolution No. / would be
announced yesterday, but 1t was not,
a postponement until today prevail
ing This is the bill which provides
for increasing the pay OF the mem
beers of the legislature and extending
the time OF the session Senator
Ashburn's uniform text book law pass
ed the senate without opposition,
Montgomery's bill against Sunday
selling was passed.
Campbell's amendment to Bailey's
proposition to prohibit the exporta-
ton of gas, from the state, which
was that tax on coal oil and gas
be imposed. brought up the fight
which occupied the attention of the
senate for some time. Senator Little
page defended the coal operators and
spoke against the Campbell amend
ment. Senator Gartlan also took a
hand in the discussion and wanted to
know If Littlepage was in favor OF
forbidding expectation. He also asked
whether oil and gas meant S5,00e.O0O
a year net to the state. Senator Blue
pointed out the fact that West Vir.
ginia would be unable to accomplish
the aim in either of the amendments.
Campbell defended his amendment
and when he got through Hill said the
whole things was grand stand play
to the gallery.
