STARE NOTES
THATCHER, ARIZONA,
Dec, 2S. 1908,

To the workers and pupils OF
the Religion Glass of the st Joseph
Stake: During the recent visit OF
Apostle Clawson be recommended
that we establish dime day for
the religion classes in the ST.
Joseph Stake, in order to obtain
means necessary to pay the ex.
penses of the class.
In compliance with the above
recommendation we have thought
proper to name Brother Karl G
Maeser's birthday as our dime day,
namely, January 10th, and ceie
brating the Wednesday nearest to
it, which will be January 18th.
1t is suggested to the superin-
tendents of the different wards
that on that day you give the chill
dren brief sketch of the life and
labors of that great man, Karl G..
Maeser, first general superintend-
ent of the Religion Glass and orig
inator of the Six Steps.

DON'T TAKE THE RISK

When you have bad cough or
cold do not let it drag along until
it becomes chronic bronchitis, or
develops into an attack of pneu
monia, but give it the attention it
deserves and get rid of it. Take
Cham berlrin's Cough Remedy and
you are sure of prompt relief.
From a small beginning the sale
and use of this preparation has ex-
tended to all parts of the United
States and to many foreign coun.
tries. Its many remarkable cures
of coughs and colds have won for
it this wide reputation and exten.
sive use. Sold by Stafford Drug
Company.

From Seattle Comes remarkable
story, brought into port by the cable
repair ship Burnside. The Burnside
had been sent north along the coast Of
Alaska to repair the cable, because
during the last winter difficulty had
been experienced in sending and re-
ceiving messages
The vessel picked up the cable con-
Meeting Valdez and Sitka a few miles
off Cook inlet not far from Sitka. The
crew never had such time hauling
a cable on board as they did that day
on the Alaska coast. Finally the
cause of the great weight was found.
Some time during the winter a
whale, feeding on the bottom Of the
ocean, with wide-open mouth, collided
with the wire rope.
Unable to shake the big wire from
the mass Of whalebone In Its jaws, the
big fish turned turtle" rolled over
once, turned round, rolled again and
dived.
In these few movements the fish
proved himself his own hangman,
for the cable. was twisted tighter
about the head of the whale than any
mortal could have twisted 1t with the
most powerful machinery.
The. whale drowned and the carcass
was devoured on the bottom Of the
ocean by other fish. The crew Of the
Burnside hauled up an immense load
of whalebone, and found great twist
in the government cable that had
been the cause of the unusual diff

SAFETY SHOES FOR CoNvIcTs.

Invention Which Makes 1t Impossi-
BILE for Persons TO Escape.
A shoe which will make impossible
the escape of conyicts while being
transported from one point to another
has been invented by a Californian.
The idea came to him after suffering
on several occasions through the pro-
trusion of hob-nails through the heel
OF a boot In need Of repair.
The device consists of heavy leath-
er shoe, with a perforated sole to
which Is attached a second sole Of
steel plate, jointed so that the whole
will bend with the usual motion of
the toes and foot. Riveted upright to
this steel sole are sharp spikes, placed
in such position that they will enter
the perforatiOns of the leather sole,
but kept from ordinarily doing so by
crossbars with a series of steel springs
on either side.
The whole contrivance is fastened to
the prisoners foot by means of metal
straps, held secure by paddock. With
the crossbars in position, the prisoner
can walk in the shoes as in ordinary
ones, but once he is placed on a traiI>
or other conveyance, the officer re-
leases the crossbars and locks them
