A Wonderful Bird.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window Of Mrs Nansen's (wife Of
the famous arctic explorer home at
Christiania. Instantly the window was
opened, and in another moment she
covered the little messenger with
kisses and caresses. The carrier pi-
geon had been away from the cottage
thirty long months, but 1t had not for
gotten the way home. 1t brought
note from hansen, stating that all was
going well with him and his expedition
in the polar region. hansen had fasten-
ed message to the bird and turned 1t
loose. The frail courier darted out
into the blizzardly air. It few like an
arrow over a thousand miles of frozen
waste and then sped forward over an.
other thousand miles Of ocean and
plains and forests and one morning
entered the window Of the waiting
mistress and delivered the message
which she had been awaiting so anx-
f0usly,

The way in which some artists can
distort features without making them
unacceptable is certainly very re-
markable. Thomas Mast possessed
this faculty to an extraordinary de-
gree, and he had very peculiar way
Of adding new faces to bis mental
photograph gallery. When a fresh
subject would arise In politics, for in
stance, he would invent some pretext
to call upon him at his Office or house
and hold him in conversation as long
as possible, studying his features.
When he took his departure he would
purposely leave his cane. Once out
side, Mast would make a hasty pencil
sketch on a card and would usually
find that his memory was deficient as
to some detail. He would then return,
ostensibly for the cane, and another
look at the victim would enable him
to perfect his sketch. After that he
had the man forever. When Joe KEEP
pier was alive he used to make fire.
quent trips to Washington for the pur-
pose Of seeing statesmen whom he
wanted to draw. He was very clever
at catching likenesses and scarcely
ever referred to photograph.

EAT YOUR FAV0RlTE
FOODS WITHOUT FEAR

If your meals don't tempt you and
you feel bloated after eating and
You believe it is the food which fills
you; If what you eat lies like a lump
Of lead in your stomach; II there Is
difficulty in breathing after eating
or eructions of sour food and heart
burn, brash or belching of gas, you
can make up your mind that you
need something for q sour stomach
and Indigestion.
To make every drop of food you
eat aid in the nourishment and the
strength of your body, you must
rid your stomach of poisonous, ex-
cessive acid and stomach gas which
sours your entire meal-interferes
pretty much everything they asked
sufferers of indigestion, headache,
nauseous breath and stomach trou-
bles of all kinds, petrifying the in
testines and digestive canal, causing
such misery as billiousness, constipa-
ton, gripping, etc. Your case is no
different-you are a stomach suffer-
er, though you may call it by some
other name; your real and only
trouble is that, which you eat does
not digest but quickly ferments and
sours, producing almost any I'M
healthy condition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will
cost you fifty cents at any pharma-
cy here, and will convince any stom-
ach sufferer five minutes after
taking a Triangule that fermentation
and sour stomach is causing the
miseries of indigestion.
No matter If you call your trou-
BILE catarrh of the stomach, nervous
ness or gastritis, or by any other
name, always remember that a GER
tain cure is waiting for you at your
pharmacist any time you decide to
begin it's use.
Pape's Diapepsin will purify the
sourest and most acid stomach with

A General Spell of Weather.

The Arctic wave which recently
visited us sending the mercury down
below the zero point and covering
the land with cryStalized moisture to
the depth of twenty or more inches,
is not common to this favored section
of ours, it is pleasure to state This
spell has prevailed all over the
northwest and also east. On the
Sound the same conditions are in evil
dence The Portland city schools
have been forced to close, Lewiston
and other points in the banana belt
have had zero weather and scads of
snow, and at some places traffic has
been almost entirely suspended.
Grangeville has not had such weather
conditions in something like twenty
years. Still business has not been
materially interrupted and our schools
are moving right along with almost, if
not quite the usual attendance. All
in all, the camas eaters may congratu-
late themselves on their present state
of bleSSedness.

toward the last of February for the
benefit of the school library.
There will be parts one, two and
three of the minstrel proper and an
olio of many athletic features such as
boxing, pyramid work, tumbling,
parallel bar SpecialtieS and also a COM
edy sketch. The circle will consist
of seventeen coon warblerS, including
comical end men and a select male
quartette. A chorus of fifteen smaller
boys and one of twenty-five feminine
voices with appropriate costumes, give
the air of music and charm to the en-
tire performance. Miss Logan is
training the singers and all second
class work is barred.
One Of the leading parts of the
show will of course be original and
good jokes on business men of our
city. These are being prepared.

board of railroad commissioners has
Just held at the headquarters of the
commission in Sioux Falls. one of
the most important meetings held
by the board for some months.
The proposed reduction Of express

perhaps the most important matter
considered during the meeting. The
Adams, American and Great North
ern Express companies had repre-
sentatives at the meeting, who con-
ferred with the board in reference
to the proposed reduction. AS re-
suit of the consideration of this
question new schedule of rates will
be prepared and placed in effect
July l, in accordance with an act of
NE last legislature. The new sched-
ule will reduce present express rates
throughout the state about 20 per
Gent.

SEATTLE EXPO.
OPENED JUNE |
Taft Presses Key That Opened
Alaska-YucOn-Pacific
Exposition

Seattle, Wash. June / The Alas
ka-Yucon-Pacific exposition. that
cost $l0,000,OO0. and the first
sod of which was turned exactly two
years ago, was officially opened at
noon. The military parade, the
speeches, President Taft's signal,
magic response were carried
out exactly as planned.
When J. J. Hill was introduced,
10000 persons cheered and it was
several moments before he could
begin his address. The program
builders had omitted to count on
this ovation and when President Taft
pressed the golden key at noon and
touched off the signal gong, he cut
short Bishop Keator's benediction.
A striking feature of the parade
was the popular sentiment for the
japanese visitors of the cruisers Azo
and Sayo. The American officers
enthusiastically applauded them and
the japanese in milder but equally
sincere manner when the Americans
passed.
