MAKE BAD HUSBANDS.
English Writer Warns Women Against
 Marrying Geniuses.

From the New York Press.
 Sidney Low, an English writer, warns every woman in search of hus- band to shun a genius. Low has writ ten lengthy article on the subject He finds the genius is misfit as a husband. He has list of 68 geniuses and out of the lot only 20 he found were passable husbands. Several of the 20, indeed, such as Fielding, who after his wife's death married her maid, were irritable and hard to man. age Low suggests that the genius sees too much of his wife. "The man of letters," he says, may or may not be domesticated, but he usually gets an overdose of domesticity, owing to the nature of his employment and the conditions under which it is carried out. Most men, from stone maSons to cabinet ministers, transact their main activities outside their own home and aside from the presence of their wives and children. The literary genius does his work at home. He sits in his study, with his wife, so to speak, out side the door. Not all wives would resist interrupting the composition of an epic by deferring till the late even- ing the announcement that the COOK was drunk or that the kitchen boiler had burst; not all geniuses would ac- cept the interruption in the right spirit" Still, Low is not confident that to drive a genius out of the house to work would make him acceptable as husband, for he says that out of his 68 specimens 23 were nothing short of diabolical in their treatment of their wives, and that without any reason of which the outside world had lnowl- edge Lows finding that the genius two times in three fails as a husband, however, falls far short of being a trustworthy guide. He neglects ex- actly 50 per cent of the problem when he fails to pass judgment on the fem | mine element. What kind of raging creatures were those 23 diabolical hus- | bands married to?

Why Horseshoes Are Lucky.

From Answers.
 Why is an old horseshoe supposed to bring luck to the owner if hung in the hall or behind the door? Horseshoes were at one time nailed up as a protection against witches Many houses in the West End of London had one of these emblems of superstition on the threshold. and in Monmouth street there were 17 in 1S13 and seven so late as 1855.
 Lord Nelson had a horseshoe nailed to the mast of his ship Victory, and our forefathers loved to nail one on their house door.
 There is legend that the devil one day asked St. Dunstan-who was noted for his skill in shoeing horses-to shoe his single hoof." Knowing who his GUS toner was Dunstan tied him tightly to the wall and proceeded with his job, but purposey put the devil into so much pain that he roared for mercy. And 1t was not until he had promised that he would never again enter place where he saw a horseshoe displayed that Dunstan would release his captive.

out the potatoes. and 1t kept right on doing this with feeverish energy. Each digger covered full acre, and the result was AGO bushels of unearthed potatoes. When the task was completed the rival exhibitors asked the potato owner to name the winner. The farmer glanced at the harvest bagged and piled and smiled with satisfaction "I win,'' he said. I've had two acres of 'taters dug free!'
 Nor can this incident be characterized as an exhibition of sharp practice. The Long Island farmer shrewdly improved an opportunity. The agents had the chance to exhibit the merits of their dggers in actual competition. The neigh boring farmers were entertained. Every body seems to have been satisfied. But 1t is not possible that cleverness of this character deserves a wider field than . Long Island potato farm?

ARRANGEMENTS are now being per-
fected to give the Nez Perce-Idaho
exhibit an individuality by the install
lation of small but rare collection of
early Indian effects. The proposition
was brought before the commission by
Indian Agent A. H. Lips and it is
believed genuine buffalo skin tepee
can be secured from some of the old
Nez Perces about which to place the
most elaborate dresses of the earlier
Indians. An elk tooth jacket and an
elk tooth dress carrying 1000 elk
teeth are among the garments to be
secured which with specimens of the
Indians handiwork will provide a
most interesting feature of the Joint
counties exhibit.

For unusual weather conditions
this spring will probably stand as a
record breaker for years to come,
throughout the United States, as it has
shattered records of the past. The
weather station at Portland shows that
the deficiency in moisture by the first
of June will be about ten inches, and
Spokane, Lewiston and other points
are in the same straits. In addition
to the dryness the temperature has
continued quite low and unfavorable
to growth of vegetation. The whole
east and middle west report the same
unusual conditions, the difference be-
ing, that in this section, notwithStand-
ing the untoward conditions, the crops
have not materially suffered, and with
favorable conditions from now on will
produce bumper yield, while the
east has suffered material and in some
instances, irreparable damage.

Idaho Day Changed to September 10th

Idaho Day Changed to September 10th.
Word comes from Seattle that Gov
Brady, through persistent effort, has
succeeded in getting Idaho Day"
changed from August 18th, to Sep
TENDER 10th, thus greatly increasing
the opportunity for display from this
county, where the fruit and vegetable
products as well as grain, are later in
maturing than at some other points.
The room for the moving picture
show is now completed and ready for
business, and the main Idaho building
will be up in ship shape by the open
ing day, June LIST, but it is hardly ex-
pected that the show will be complete
in all its features. There are 81 pic
ture shows already on the ground,
and that plan of showing forth the re-
sources and contour of the country,
being worked to such an extent, may
to degree lessen the desired effect
of the work in this state.

BRETHREN DIFFER IN OPINION.

A two and half column article in
the Grangeville Globe last week on
Forestry Good System" was writ
ten by someone who is as well posted on
that subject as sand bill crane is on
the watchmakers trade-Elk City
News.
Ifthe editor of the Lewiston Tribune
failed to read the article on forest re-
serves in last weeks Grangeville Globe
it will pay him to go to the exchange
heap and dig it up That article con-
tains much information from the in
side regarding the work and plans of
the forest service, and we believe it
would do the biased Tribune editor
q BOD to read t-Kooskia Mountaineer.
The Globe would be pleased to
have Bro. Hamilton, of the News,
make one, or as many specific criti-
cisms of the above mentioned article
as he can; and at the same time would
like to have Bro. O'Donnell, of the
Mountaineer, give few reasons why
he thinks the Tribune man would
benefit by reading the article If the
piece published contains any false or
misleading statements the Globe would
be pleased to have its readers set right
by clean, genteel exposition of the
same.

NATIONS MARVELLOUS GROWTH.

The best test of the business growth
OF our nation, says the Washington,
I'd. CD Post, is shown by the re-
ceipts of the postof1ice department
from the sale of stamps.
In 1920 the receipts were about
$1,000, 900; by 1850 they increased
to $40, 900, 900, in 1870 to S33, 000,-
900, in 1900 to S1O2, 900, 600, and in
1908 to S1o1, 500, 900.
The figures show that in 1907 the
number of letters and post cards sent
through the postal system of the
United States was 6,466, 900, 900, as
against 1903, 900, 900 in the Ger
man empire. 1889, 100000 in the
United Kingdom, 1,119,OO 900 in
France, and 1907, 900, 900 in Austria
Hungary.
The telegraph messages sent in the
United States in 1907 reached the
enormous number of SO, 900, 900, 900.
In this connection it must be remem-
bered that the telephone is large
competitor of the telegraph, especially
for long commercial messages, and
it is growing in favor each year.
In nearly every step of the worlds
progress during the last hundred years
the United States has been the pioneer.

him to stop his old hotel. Well,
hardly. He sets that aside and wades
into the dishes that suit him. 1t is
different with some newspaper readers.

does not suit them exactly and, with
out stopping to think it may please

how paper should be run and what
