Westminster Abbey's Poets corne

Westminster Abbey's Poets Corner
Turning from King Henry's chapel,
with its wealth of fancy's fairy frost
work" to the poets corner in West
Minister abbey, we are attracted by a
spell mightier than that of carven
stones in the presence of those serene
creators of immortal things" who have
enriched our literature with gifts be-
yond all price. This glorious company
of paupers," as they have been termed,
says writer in Great Thoughts, have
won a fame in the glow Of which that
of statesmen and warriors wanes and
perishes, touched to death by diviner
eyes" Drawn together as II were, by
the spell of Chaucer, "our first war
bier" what Spenser calls 'black OBJ
livion's rust has failed to tarnish their
golden record. We move entranced
amid the memorials of Drayton, Ben
Jonson, Spenser, Shakespeare, Beau
mont, Milton, Gray Addison and many
more, including the impassioned peas
ant singer, Robert Burns, and the great
Victorians, Robert Browning and Al
fred Tennyson.-Lon Standard

THE COEUR D'ALENEs
[Continued from PAGE ID

Pierre Montielma is sub-chief and
John Davenport, who was raisesd by
a white merchant OF the same name
of Colfax, Wash, is heal of the In
dian police. They are respected by
all who know them.
Louis Mitchata probably is the
wealthiest of the Occur d'Alene In
dams. He is reputed to be worth at
least 5000, of which $4,000 is in
mony at interest. He lives in a
house which would be no discredit
to any farmer in the country, and has
a good barn for stock and convent
ent outbuildigs. A grove of trees
surrounding a large fish pond is
pretty feature of the premises. Lo-
10, who lives near the government
sawmill, a fw miles east of the mis-
sion, has possessions in livetock and
cash to the amount of $4,000 Chief
Wildshoe is worth $4,000 and others
have from $500 to $4,000.
The great age reached by a num-
Der of these people is a matter OF i'm
trest. Father Caruana, of De Smet
mission, says that Charles, who died
there a few years ago, was not less
than 12O years old He was totally
blind for years before his death, and
was waited on by his daughter, who
died later, deaf and blind, at the age
of 80 years. Coo-Na-Cha, Occur
d 'Alene squaw, died recently at the
age of 90 years, and Victoria of the
same tribe, is supposed to be in her
Goth year. Scam-tal-am-to, Spo-
kane squaw, VIII olives on the reser-
walton, is 81 years old. There are
several others past the four score
period.
The reservation is situated who'll,
in Kootenai county, Idaho, and con-
tains approximately 625 square miles
or 100000 acres of land, OF which
two-thirds is cultivable and capable
of high development. The rest is
heavily timbered with white ana vel
low pine, cedar, fir and tamarack,
and is subject to entry under the
homestead laws at its appraised val
ne. The cost of these lands has not
yet been determined. While the prln-
,ipal crops produced are wheat, oats
md hay, the soil has proved itself to
De admirably adapted to the cultlva-
ion of potatoes, sugar beets and 9TH
sr root crops, alsso tree and vine
ruits.
The Indian population of the reser-
7ation is 500 Occur d'Alenes, OF
yhom 255 are males. There are also
v Spokane Indians. A census tax
N early this year shows the sexes

lie each own 100 acres of land and

The breath Of sprIng is in the aIr.

The breath OF spring is in the air,
The fields are daily shifting
From barren brown to living green,
The clouds are lightly drifting,
And up above the genial sun
Once more on earth is grinning;
Soft breezes wander Ger the town
And set the dead leaves spinning.
Out in the lot across the way
The strong and Snowy batter
Is sending skyward fancy flies
To make the fielders scatter,
And over on the farther side
The 1.-The well muscled curver
Is pitching hot ones and admired
By every small observer.
The maidens amble down the street
In headgear truly stunning,
And some of ii would make a man
Who cared for art go cunning.
To be pursued by him they would
Perhaps be more than willing.
He needn't bring his gun along,
For they will do the killing.
And all along the line it's plain
That there is something doing;
The cattle on the ancient hills
Are very busy chewing,
The bees have sharpened up their point
For honey quest or singing,
And all the standard. fresh born signs
Proclaim that spring is springing.

500 hogs and 175 Sheep. The reserve
is straversed by the Chicago, Milwau-

tekoa-Burke branch of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company, the
latter carrying all members of the
Occur d'Alene tribe free of charge
between Tekoa, Wash, and Cataldo,

contract made when the Hartman
people secured a right-of-way across

JEWELS WORTH
 KINGS RANSOM
Celebration of All Anniversary of
 George W. Fairchild Business.
THE GROWN JEWEL LINE


 Don't fail to see the crown jewels in all their beauty and brilliancy. Fairchild's big jewelry store, 997 Main street. will be the show place of the city for week and day. beginning
 tomorrow. The occasion is the cele- bration of the 44th anniversary of the founding of the business by George
 w. FaircEild. who Is still actively en- gagged in the management of the con cern which has gained a reputation throughout New England as the low est priced house dealing in the highest grade merchandise.
 It happens that the anniversary of the establishment of the firm comes a few days ahead of the holiday season. and to celebrate its natal day the firm invites the public to visit its store and view the elaborate array of goods which fill each department in antici- patton of the coming Yuletide. It is the desire of the management to have everyone visit the store and see the
 pretty articles on display. whether they purchase or not. It is the same display that will be shown for the holi- days and any goods selected will be put aside for the holidays at the sug- gestion of anyone.
 In connection with the show of the products of the jewellers craft there are the crown jewels. so-calIed, the most beautiful line of diamond and precious stone creations for personal adornment and women's wear ever SnOWn m tnlS state They 1nclu0e creations for the decoration of the hair neck. corsage. hand and wrist-show- ing gems of rarest quality set in ex- quisite settings. As a whole they are worth a kings ransom and worthy of being the jewels of any dynasty in Europe.
 There are nine distinct departments in this well organized store and for the benefit of those who attend the dis play the firm has provided 26 special articles which it will dispose of at re- cent. less the regular price. These goods are of the same high quality as the rest of the stock-the diamond jewelry being mounted especially for the event and the other goods being secured for the anniversary only be- cause of their unique design.
 Tn the gold jeweiry department every conceivable precious stone can be found set in a vsriety of original and for the baby. for the debutante. the bride and the wife. Also rings for tokens of friendship and a large as= sortment of heavy seal. monogram. end stone rings for the decoration of masculine digits.

 It is a curious inversion of life that expresses young Brewster through that dreadful year. Most young Americans are striving to make money but 1t is the problem with true American re- sourcefulness. but some of his widest ventures turn in profit in place of the loss he has supposed inevitable. His friends. in their well-meant efforts to Stc- his headlong career of prodi- gality balk him at every turn The girl he wants to marry sadly mfsun- derstands the thousands he cheerfully dispenses as ''angell' to an aspiring actress. And first to last. he finds the task of spending $3.OO0 a day. with accrued interest more intricate than 1t would be to win a fortune. The diffi- culties that beset him and his inds- fatigable. but misunderstood efforts to overcome them. form the basis for the fund.
 In the third act he takes all his friends on yachting cruise. where he hopes to spend money freely without inspiring the plying comment of the town on his conduct. It Is in this act that the action which has run on with great rapidfty> is halted for the ex- ceedingly realistic scene of a storm at sea Seldom. if ever. has the huriy- burly of the raging elements on the ocean been better stimulated. And it enables the desDairinK Monty to strip himself of almost the last of the cursed money by paying a big salvage bill. In the last act. when utterly broke" he awaits his uncle's executor there are some final farcical obstacles to be overcome before the denouement is permitted to develop It is throughout a remarkably good dramatization of George Barr McCutcheon's story. re- pleta with strong and snappy dialogue.
 Robert Ober plays Monty Brewster with unaffected natura lHess and spon- taneity. He resists the temptation to overact that woulc assail n less re- strained comedian and his interpreta- tion is informed with sincereity and unobtrusive finish. His comedy is of the unconscious kind that springs from the character and the situation. apparently. The opposite role of
 Peggy" is played sweetly and girl ishly by May Talbot. There is bevy of bright young men around Monty and these are adequately played. as indeed are the other characters of the play. and all of them stand out with sufficient distinctness in character,zs- tion to merit special notice.

 Lebaudy Brothers. who manufacture dirigibles for the French army. have proven by experiments that a small projectile tearing through a gas bag caused a great loss of gas. The tire concern states that similar experiments show that the new tissue under the same conditions allowed a loss of only 250 cubic yards of gas.
