Change In Paper.

"Pete" Orcutt, the fighting edit
or Of the Troy News, has bought a
half interest in the Star Mirror OF
Moscow. Pete is not an editor OF
the jelly fish kind and has plenty
of backbone. II he believes in q
thing or finds q bunch OF rotten
politicians he goes after them.
Orcutt has done more to purify the
politics OF Latah county than any
other man. The republican ma
chine over there threatened and
tried all sorts Of intimidation on
the Troy editor last fall but it did
not 90. Orcutt is the style we most
admire and quite the opposite of a
newspaper" man who resides in
Moscow we have in mind as we
write this article. Success to Or.

MUCH FUN WITH STOP WATCH
Owner Describes a Variety OF Ways
In Which He Has Found It At
fords Hin Diversion.

Having a stop watch says the
man who had just bought one, re-
veals a whole lot Of ways Ct a~sus.. ;
yourself that you'd hardly think OF
before.
"Since I've had a watch I've been
able to while away a lot OF time. Not
a pun, either. For instance, walking in
the city where the numbered blocks
make calculating easy. ! am contin-
ually holding the watch on my pedes-
TRAN efforts.
q figure first how long it takes me
to walk a block. Going at top speed
SO that some folks think I'm mad,
have been able to do SO yards in
20 rs seconds, or about seven miles
an hour.
"Then. of course, / time all inter
mediate distances up to a mile. I've
learned pretty well just what four
miles an hour means, and | want to
tell you that folks who speak so glibly
about dong that ought to hold q
watch on their performances to see
what it means.
"The other day | got up some sprint
races between some boys just so
| could time their running. find there's
a lot of fun, too, in making imaginary
bets with myself how long it will take
me to catch up with some one else
walking in the same direction or how
long it will be before a car gets to g
certain crossing.
ALSO a stop watch is a great thing
for timing how long you can hold youl
breath"

Records of TWO Noted Men Cited as a
Rebuke of the Laxness of the

Two remarkable instances of fdel
ity to the letter of Sabbatarian law
were given az the annual breakfast OF
the Lords Day Observance society.
Il am afraid Scotland is leading in
the a Of Sabbath breaking" said
Rev. Lord Blythswood, who presided.
"Cae would think that people would
lo.ce and profit by the constantly IL
Illustrated fact that the man who OBJ
serves the Lords day prospers.
Il have worked for nearly Sc years,
and such is my conscience that ]
would never put a foot in a train on
the Lords day, neither would | use q
public conveyance.
"One might say it has prevented me
from preaching in many places, but
cannot help that; / have had to dras,
myself along with the bag that con
tanned my gown"
The other instance was contained
in the speech of Prof. Beresford Pite.
THE late Sir George Livesey told
me-" he said, that he had never
spent a Sunday away from his wife.
Travelling from Glasgow on Satur-
day, he found that he could only ar
rive home at Tumbridge Wells by
travelling on Sunday, so when he ar
