Limit to His Generosity.

The lady secretary of a charity told
the supporters at an annual meeting
recently this story OF a generous sub
scriber. Interested in one particular
case. an expansive gentleman waited
upon the secretary, said everything
necessary must be done at any cost,
and handed over a blank check.
What am l to do with this2" said the
lady. Pay whatever expense you are
put to, replied the donor. BY way of
test the lady called at the bank
named on the face Of the draft and
asked whether it would be honored if
filled in and presented. The banker
was reticent; such Information was
never given, TO ask it was unusual
But the lady was persistent, and he
finally referred TO his books and dryly
remarked: We'll, I wouldn't I'll It il
for more than IS, if were you"

When frost has stolen In at night
ana covered all the earth with white.
Then Willie. in tie morning light,
Goes trapsing 10 the woodland bright.
His nose is blue and a his throat
Is Duttoned high his brothers coat!
The arms are full six inches long,
AS he goes whisH.ug at a song,
Now down the path he speeds along
TO join the butternutting throng
The neighbours boy he stops to get
Alas, he hasn't eaten yet.
While Johnnie hGstles through his meal
BIZ talks about the quest with zeal
Then straight to where the woods Sp-
peal
They trudge toward their nutting veal
Across each ladies sturdy back
Is twined a spacious gunny sacki
All day they scamper to and fro
Beneath the trees where harvests grow
But homeward bound, the pace is slow
Gee whizz. them nuts is heavy, thought
That night before he goes 20 bed
The nuts are spread upon the shed.
And now for days when callers come
Dur Willie, chewing on his gum.
Extends four fingers and thumb
And pointing at his grinning chum,
Says; Il am stained much worse than
you
It's way down in my windpipe. tooi''

Farms Long Under Irrioatlon.

Frank y. Meyer, the scientific ex
plorer for the government, in his re
cent penetration OF China, saw farms
that had been under irrigation since
before Columbus discovered America
To the credit OF the pagan priests, be
it said, all forms of plant and tree
growth we're cherished and encour-
aged around the temples The priests
gave Meyer what Information they
could. The extent to which forest
devastation has gone in China can be
inferred from the fact that the Chi
nese have rooted and grubbed out
every vestige OF the growth the size
of your finger above the graves Of
their revered Understanding Maya

INTERESTING FIGURES
Prof. Axline Tells Something of What is
Being Done at Albion

President G. A. Axline, of the al.
bion State Normal, produced before
the late legislature some very inter.
sting figures relative to his school
as compared with other educational
institutions OF the state. Some of
these figures are worth repeating
The Albion Normal has enrolled.
1856 students; the Lewiston Normal.
17S; the Pocatello Academy, zoo
and the state university at Moscow
426. OF these, the Albion college
has "a per cent of Idaho students;
the Pocatello Academy has "a per
cent; the Lewiston Normal 81 Der
cent and the university Sc per cent
Idahoans. The Albion normal is tie
most cosmopolitan so Tar as getting
students from all over the state; for
it's percentage of students from out
side counties is 564; the university
55.1 per cent; the Lewiston Normal
S7.6; and the Pocatello Academy
BIZ per cent of outsiders. AS it NAV
be fairly concluded that the measure
of schools usefulness as a state
institution is its contributions to the 1
state as whole and not to any one (
given locality, the Albion school is
easily in the lead.
OF the students who live in the
towns where the various schools are
lccated. the Albion Dorloal has IS,
Ct p per cent; the ewis'on norma.
81 Per cent; the University 81 pei
cent; and the Poca5ero Academy 81
per cent. The ALBION normal has IA
COUNTIES represented by students; the
Lewiston Normal, Is counties; the
Pocatello Academy II counties and
the University, with its greater atten- !
dance, has 81 counties represented.
The appropriations, including the {
interest of state lands, for the var
GUS schools have been, for the year
1908: Albion normal, s24,6S1.12; I
for the Academy, sS7,O6O.Ss; Lew
iston Normal. 1890 40. and sor
the University, s9s,s526O. This is
the maintenance cost alone, not the
legislative appropriations for bGild-
ings Il |
The Albion Normal has had the (
short end of all appropriations, until
this year, when it will get close to as
much as the Lewiston school, this
appropriation having been made on
the showing made by Prof. Axline
With one-half more money this year il
than ever before for maintenance.
and with liberal appropriations Tor
lew buildings and equipment, the h.
Albion Normal may be expected TO
-ank with the very best in the West
n the record it will make of turn -
ng out efficient teachers for the Ida
10 schools.

Watching A Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science
Made Possible the Cure of
Dyspepsia.

The Able SpallarZani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice.
but it was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge OF
its composition and action was laid
Beaumont was an army surgeon. 10
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while IL was yet a terri
tory, and was called upon 10 treat a
gun shot wound OF the stomach in a
Canadian oyageur-Aexis St Mar
tin When the wound hea:ed a per
manent opening was left by means OF
which food could be placed in the
stomach and gastric juice taken from
it.
Beaumont made scientific expert
mentS with his crude means and
wrote a book, which today is recOg-
nized among the classics Of physi-
olCg.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine
knows what the stomach does with
food and what food does to the
stomach
Science also knows what the gas
trio juices are and how to make them
best for the system.

costing food, Teplenishing the ex-
hausted juices, soothing the nerves
