prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. he will sleep on
the cold ground where the wintry
wind blows and the snow drifts
hercely, if only he may be by his
masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer. He
viii lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the rough
ness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as if he
we're prince. When all other
friends desert, he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces, he is as constant in
his love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless,
the faithful dog asks no higher pri-
vilege than that CT accompanying, to
guard against danger, to fight against
his enemies, and when the last scene
of all comes and death takes the
master in its embrace and his body
is laid away in the cold ground, no
matter If all other friends pursue
their way, there by the grave-side
may the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad
but open in alert watchfulness, faith
ful and true even in death"
Then the senator sat down. He
had spoken in a low voice, almost
without gesture. He made no ref

the case. When he hElshed the
judge and jury were wiping their

returned with verdict IN favor of
the plaintiff for $500. He had sued
for $500. 1t is said that some of the

the elephants, the cougars, the
wolves OF even the unmanageable,
runaway horse. On the contrary, to
ths insect-the mosquito and the fly
in particular belong the distinction
of being the most deadly to the ami
NAL race.
People tremble with fear at the
sight of a wolf they turn pale when
confronted by cougar, and yet give
hardly passing thought TO the mos
quito and the fly, whose victims per-
ish every day from dread diseases
that have been transmitted to them
by these small beings.
Il has been we'll established that
the mosquito is a bearer of malaria
and yellow fever germs, and thesouth
has for several years been waging
war on, this insect that is peculiar to
the vafmer regions.
Recently commission in New
York has made careful study of
the fly. They discovered that every
hy they could catch was loaded with
germs of some sort, many of them
being the hosts of germs of the worst
intestinal diseases. They call at
tention to the prevalence Of the fly;
to that fact that he rejoices in the
foulest places imaginable and that he
carries his germs in the most care
fully guarded regions. The COM
mission also pointed out that intesti-
nal diseases are prevalent not in
proportion to the heat of the weather
but to the number of flies. The
heat brings the flies and the flies
brings the disease.
Yet no one has thought to conduct
a systematic war upon the fly. II
would be a harder problem by far
than disposing of the mosquito. But
so long as We have the flies just SO
long VIII the human race be subject
ed to these intestinal diseases.

Years ago, in an old town Of
north Missouri, a man brought suit
for $500 against neighbor who had
killed his dog, and engaged Senator
Vest to plead his case. The senator
made the following remarkable ad-
dress considered the finest classic
gem of its kind in the history OF
forensic oratofy:
"Gentlemen of the jury: The
best human friend a man has in the
world may turn against him and
become his worst enemy. His son
and daughter that he has reared with
loving care may prove ungreatful.
Those who are nearest and dearest
to US, those whom we trust with our
happiness and good name may be-
come traitors to their faith. The
money that man has he may lose.
1t flies away from him, perhaps,
when he needs it most. A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in a
moment of ill-considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on their
knees to do us honor when success is
with US. may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads. The one
unseltish friend that
man can have in this selfish world,
the one that never deceives him, the
one that never proves ungrateful and
treacherous. is bis dog.

cussion among the business men OF

a big three days carnival at Nez-

horse show. It will be the aim to
have the Kamiah. Crangeville. Cot

mer base ball teams here and the
object will be to have Il the three
biggest days in the history Of Nez-
perce. As most of the nearby towns
will celebrated the 4th Il is thought
that II would be good idea to hold
the carnival before that date and give
our citizens an opportunity to visit
some Of the neighboring towns on the
nations birthday. A meeting has
been called for Friday night at the
old commercial club rooms at which
time definite arrangements will be
made. Watch the paper for further

family and friends. AS the las
hour drew near the dying man wal
asked il there was any last reques
he wished to make-anything be
desired done by his heirs and
successors which would please hin
in leaving this life to know would be
done. he answered that on the old
farm back in Maine, where his boy
hood was spent, there vas a large
red stone around which be and others
used 10 play, and that it would please
him to have that stone placed above
bis grave. AS be wished, so II was
done. The three-ton bolder of red
granite from the Maine hills was
brought TO the Illinois prairies and
nov rests, his name chisled in its
rugged side, above the grave of the
man whose heart turned back. in the
final hour, to the scenes and joys of
ms childhood. of which it stood in
memory as the emblem. The Incl
dent is not singular, but typical of
the way in which the human soul,
when the last hour Of earthly living
draws near, turns back to the famil-
lar things Of the days when earthly
living began, and clings to them and
their memories as a little child
clings to its mother. Men have gone
half around the globe, enduring
pain and discomfort in every degree
merely that they might die amid
scenes familiar and loved in child
hood, in the old town, on the old
farm, or in the old house. And
however wandering his death falls.
and although il may find him with
heart at ease, there is probably no
man before whose dying eyes there
does not came some vision of the
homely things and familiar faces he
knew as little child. Here is a
mystery whose meaning is undeclar-
ed Of men. Perhaps the soul,
though confident in the light of faith,
and so unafraid of the dark before
Il, yet turns back to stay itself up
on the things first known when il
came from the dark from which we
all come and into which We all 60,
even as bird fitting from the night
through lighted hall and out into
the night again. Perhaps the
wheel Of earthly life turns full
circle, and that the appointed place
and state for the fight into worlds
unknown is that at which began the
earthly pilgrimage. Perhapse this
is one of the meanings of the saying,
Except ye be as little children ye
cannot enterthe kingdom of Heaven. "
We do not and We can not know.
But we do know and II is a know
ledge which gives to all men
kinship. that when the last hour
and the light of earth
fades before the dying eyes, the
heart of man turns homeward, and
finds, II may be. in the home Of
childhood a type of that house
eternal in the heavens to which his
hope and faith aspire. --Ex

Heroic Death Of Rodney OInsv

Rodney Olney, who was drowned
in Lake Pend d'Oreille last Wednes-
day evening, had charge of the
Farmers & Merchants Bank at this
place during June and July and up
to the time of the consolidation of
that institution with the Kettenbach
bank in August, 1908. The young
man was IN boat with a friend FISH,
ing only a short distance from the
shore and had caught a large fish.
In their efforts to land it the boat
capsized and 0lney, knowing his
friend could not swim and thinking
the small boat would not hold them
both up, told his companion to stay
with the boat and he would swim to
shore. He was swimming strong.
in spite of bis heavy clothing, and
had almost reached land, when be
threw up his hands and disappeared
beneath the waters of the Pend d.
Oreille. He did not come to the sur
face again. The body was recover
ed by searchers Friday. It vas
found under 40 feet of water near
the place where he met his heroic
death. The coming Of death and the
chill of the icy waters of the lake
did not even change the smile on his
face. His last words were 'sTell
mother it is all right"
