To Check the Spitters.

The plan for the organization of an
anticipating league possesses considera-
BILE merit, and 1t is to be hoped that it
will be consummated. OF course 1t cab
hardly be expected that the splitting nui-
sance can be~entirely suppressed, but there
is reason to believe that with intelligent
effort splitting in trolley cars at least can
be prevented. There is an ordinance pro-
hibiting splitting in public places. VIOLA
tions of which are punishable with fines.
strict enforcement Of this measure
would in all likelihood compel the spit
ting hog to improve his manners by
abandoning his disgusting habit The ar
rest and punishment of q few offenders
would no doubt have the effect Of deter
ring others from violating this ordinance.

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
From ignorance to the highest power,
from the tallow dip to the fierce light
that beats upon thrones, from humility
to grandeur, his walk was always that
of a modest struggler who was sincere
in every thought and ambition and who
loved we'll every man and bird and
beast He reached the heights by vir-
tue of his grasp of public issues and
the plain solution he found for them. 1t
was genius and it was heart. He had the
genius to cope with the greatest problem
the Anglo Saxon race has ever faced. and
he had heart that solved it to the salts
faction of all the ages. SO great land
so simple he will live forever in song
and story, and though at the head of all
the armies of his country, he will be
loved most for his gentleness and his
desire for peace.

Another Name for the Same Thing

He never told a fib; not he,
Though statements most surprising
That claimed his authorship would be
Quite frequently arising.
He soon dispelled the sense of dread
With which his friends had noted
Those reckless words, he merely said
That he had been misquoted.
So let us lead our simple lives
With joy all unabated:
The ugly word no longer thrives;
1t has been relegated
Unto a past of shadows drear,
And a rejoicing nation
Discovers it need only fear
The guileless misquotation

Grangeville than in any town its

makers and not the usual noise MAX

the average small town is cursed with.
The business men Of Grangeville
have always put up their good money
for the band, knowing that there is
nothing like q good live band with
which to advertise q town. No town
can amount to much without some
sort Of a music making organization.
We have had good bands here in the
past and this year is not going to be
any exception, in fact we're going to
have the best band ever known the
coming season, at least that's what
they tell US.
The money has been secured, the
talent is here and this week the band
master arrived. This gentleman in
whose destinies our musical reputation
reposes, is B. w. Thomas Of Seattle.
He looks like q musician and one
thing that impresses one most with
him is the fact that he is modest, does

what he is going to do but seems salts

three miles up the mountains, near the
old Root saw mill, last Monday after
noon.

hand upon the chopping block when
her little brother accidentally struck
her blow on the wrist inficting a
deep wound.
DR. Slusser was called and found il
necessary to take several stitches in
order to close the wound.
No dangerous results are anticipat
