Several residents and property owners
on Fourth street have decided in favor
of cement sidewalks, and it Is not i'm
probable that everybody on that street
will ultimately decide that cement
makes the best and most substantial
walk. 4 number of those interested in
the matter sent to Spokane for c. A i.
Coffin, a cement sidewalk contractor,
who has constructed cement sidewalks
in the Falls City for several years past,
and they will confer with him as to the
probable cost, etc. Mr.. Coffin arrived
in Newport Wednesday, and it is likely
that if his figures are correct he may
have the contract to build a cement
walk from Washington to Cass avenue.
This would add materially to the APP
pearance of this important street.
A week ago last Saturday William
Cover, rancher of Spring Valley, met
witt, rather serious accident while
driving down the hill which leads from
his residence to the main road. A
rough lock, which was used as brake
On one of the hind wheels broke, send
ing the wagon suddenly ahead on the
yoke of oxen which Mr.. Cover was
driving. This caused the animals to
start on run and Mr. Cover was
thrown from his wagon, one of the
wheels of the heavy vehicle passing over
his leg. Neighbors came to his rescue
and he was carried to a nearby house
and cared for. An examination dis
closed the fact that the bones in the
injured limb were fractured. The pa
tient was later removed to his home,
where he suffered severe pain. Those
who witnessed the accident declare it
was only miracle that Mr.. Cover was
not killed outright, as the road over
which he was driving was very narrow
and runs through heavy growth of
timber. When thrown from the wagon
Mr.. Cover narrowly missed being
thrown against large tree.

DESTROYING the Point.

Every one knows the man who Is
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy its point. An English noble
man. Lord p. was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity of
a story. The autlor Of COLLECTIONS
and Recol!ections" exhibits Il speci-
men of his lordsh:p's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert gate. London. the
size and cost of which seemed likely
to prohibit tenants from hiring them.
4 wag christened them Malta and
Gibraltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord P. thought this an excellent
joke and ran round the town. say ing
to every friend he met:
II say. do you know what they call
those houses at Albert gate? They cal
them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't it aw
fully goOd?"
Some one told Lord T. the cid riddle
"Why was the elephant the last ami
NAL to get into the ark?" to which the
answer is. Because he had to pacl

The wild boar is a most courageous

to the fastest horse has come up with
the quarry is deprived of the coveted
honor of first spear" 10y a sudden
'jink" or turn of the pig. The boar.
in spite of his clumsy appearance, is
not only possessed of a great turn of
speed, but is extraordinarily active. He

The average tenderfoot is not a cow

years ago. One day a pale looking.
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the lit

called for a bottle of soda pop.

the time may come when l can make
you drink my choice of liquid"
The tenderfoOt raised the glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy had
had his way about it, and he made no
effort to comprehend the vague remark
of the stranger. The tenderfOot left
for a ranch down the PecOs the next
day after the incident in the saloon,

WATERLOO.
The lmmutsbiIity of the Famous Old
Battlefield.

The lmmutability of the Famous Old
Battlefield.
One of the most striking features of
Il visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the immutability of the entire
scene in which one of the greatest bat
ties of history took place. NOtwith-
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day of
June is, 1915, the entire scene of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the fercest, save for the necessary res
torations of the damage they sustain
ed in the conflict. remain exactly as
they were. nor has any CncrOachmcnt
of building or progress marred the his
tOric field.
The battlefield of Waterloo is an
open. indicating stretch of good farm
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part of it was covered with
crops of rye, wheat barley and oats,
and the same crops. are still grown
there each season. The field is inter
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont St. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay in the center of both
armies, led south to Genappe. Char
leroi and Namur. Upon the crest of
the ridge which formed the first of the
allied positions a crOssroad runs east
and west This road, on approaching
the spot where the Lion Of Waterloo"
now stands. ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and it was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 500 yards to the south
east of the Lion is the farm of La
Haye Sainte, while about 900 yards
to the southwest stands HOugOumOnt
the old chateau. farmhouse, Outbuild-
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part in the
fate of the day. These buildings are
nearly 300 years Old and were built
with a view to their defense, as many
old stone loophOles still to be found
testify. - Robert Howard Russell ir

Insomnia.

Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
Of the brain worker who after years of
continuous mental strain retires from
active life. The reason is that mental
activity demands a large supply of
blood for the brain, and the blood YES
sells gradually accommodate themselves
to this large supply. But when the
hard work is over the brain does not
always realize that it needs less nour-
ishment, and hence the condition of ex-
cessive mental activity which is what
insomnia is.-London Mail.
