CARD OF THANKS

We adopt this method of expressing
our appreciation of the tender ministra-
tons and tokens of sympathy extended
to US during the sickness and death of
our beloved husband and father, Mitch
ell j. Allen, and realize that words are
but empty things when we undertake
to express these emotions that move
our hearts. We will ever hold in great
full remembrance the tender devotion
of his brethren of that noble order, The
Woodmen of the World, and their work
in the erection of the beautiful monu-
ment that marks his resting place, and
for the prompt payment of the policy
held by him in that order.
We also want to thank our neighbors
for their kindly attention and assistance
and the voluntary removal of our de-
parted child's grave to the place of the
fathers grave, and sincerely pray Gods
richest blessings upon one and all.
MRS. M. j. ALLEN AND Sons.

Not So Stories.

NoTE-None of the following stories
are true.-The Hustler Devil.
Theive O'Clock train is almost
due. The usual Sunday crowd is
at the HendersonVille depot. A
cloud of smoke-a sullen shrek,
and swiftly the mighty horse of
iron thunders down the track,
crosses Main street and is but a
few feet from the depot building.
The dense crowd moves back
from possible danger, when sud-
denlya golden=haired child jumps
from the protecting arms of its
colofed nurse and runs, scream
ing with laughter, directly in
front of the fast moving mon
ster!
An awful, blood-curdling cry
rises from the horror-stricken
crowd!
Women faint and strong men,
helpless to aid, cover their eyes
with trembling hands unable to
witness the terrible sight!
Nothing can save that inno-
cent child from instant and fear
full DEATH
But stop-a man, of powerful
build, leaps thro' the crowd!
The engine is almost on the child!
A spring and he is in front of the
monster of death! With one
hand he seizes the child-with
the other he gives the engine a
mighty push which sends it back,
back, back to Balfour, and with
the cheers of the crowd in his
ears restores the sobbing child to
it's nurse!
Those who saw the brave act
say it was the most remarkable
exhibition of nerve and strength
they eyer witnessed.

brated detective, is in town,

accepted.
The business men of the town

looked up the Law on the matter and
found that the commissioners could
pay the freight back on this display.
and that in all probability they would
vote to do so. 1t was decided to
walt for a report from the committee
at the next meeting.
Attorney Black. who is a member
Of the publicity committee. stated
that the committee was now ready to
report on the Panhandle booklet Is
sued a short time ago, and read the
report in full. He stated that there
was a deficiency In payment for the
books, and that as a committee they
had done their best to raise a SUM-
cient amount to cover all indebted
ness, but could not do so, and that
the committee now wanted to turn
the matter over to the club. 1t was
voted to accept the report and to dis
charge the committee. The report
shows that there is a balance due and
remaining unpaid which amounts to
s76S.51. The total cost of the 49,
900 booklets is given elsewhere in
this paper.
Secretary Hopkirk said that he
was trying to get report from the
financial committee and ascertain ex-
actly how the club stood and would
probably have 1t in by the next meet
ing. He urged all the members to
be prompt in the payment of their
dues and thereby save him the trou-
BILE of running after them. He also
stated that there was now on file
many letters of inquiry from eastern
people asking about this city and
county and the chances for invest.
ment here.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned to meet next
Friday evening.

Sharp Clothing Salesman Does
Good Business

The getting Of atty dollar suits for
twenty-sIx dollars does not always be-
come a reality as would seem when
q man Is buying from a stranger. and
there are several in Occur d'Alene
who would like to see their suit for
which they placed an order some days
ago Or else the man who took the
order.
II was several days ago that a
stranger appeared in the city with an
excellent line Of samples OF fall and
winter clothing. and at once went
about introducing himself and be-
gan taking orders for his Arm. which
he claimed was the GroR Tailoring
company. OF Spokane. and during the
nrst day he secured about twenty or
ders. This was a great business and
he was out early on the morning of
the second.
The price was so reasonable and
the terms so liberal that to refuse to
place an order would seem foolish,
and 50 the orders came. The suits
were the regular $50 grade. but "a
introduce them In Occur d'Alene the
price was lowered to S2s. with 81
payment down and the balance Is

Il was noticed by some that the
orders were signed At the bottom Of
the sheet bearing the Arm name oil

this was inquired into, but the ready
response was given that the Sterling
was for the grade Of goods. they be
Ing OF sterling quality and did no
represent the Arm name. as he wal

kane. This passed all right and th'
orders still came rolling In.
The suits were promised for imme

can go estimated.

PlneappIes In Queensland,

Altogether there are some 5000
acres devoted to pineapple cultivation
in Queensland, giving yield of some
thing like ten million pines a year.
Two crops are gathered during the ~
months. Most of the owners of the
plantations started without capital,
and are now reaping about $3.50 an
acre net profit. 1t is an industry from
which returns are quickly obtained.
Fifteen months after planting the
grower is securing his first crop. Next
year he should double his crop, be-
cause, like the banana, once the pine
apple has borne fruit the stalk dies
down, and its place is taken by one
or more suckers, which, in their turn,
fruit and die. A cider of remarkably
fine quality can be made from the
fruit.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 265O-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per.
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
1
venient, and not once during the triI
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the
