had JUDY STOPPED The BOOK WIFE
HIS HEAD, WHAT THEM
To restrain the Board Of Education

To restrain the Board ofEducaticn
of a Tucker county magisterial dis
trict from interfering with his IA
year old SON attending the public
schools and pursuing his studies, F.
]. Judy, of Davis, Tucker county,
sought an injunction from the supreme
court of appeals, but the writ wasde-
MED Wednesday by that tribunal.
Chester Judy, the SON of F. J.
Judy, was pupil in the Davis public
schools. While perasing a dictionary,
another pupil pasted him with
vad ofpaper. Judy grabbed hisfol-
low student and undertook to place
him under the desk. The youthful
Tom Sawyer retaliated by throw
ing book at Judy.
Here is where Judy failed in STRAIT
egy.
Instead of receiving the blow from
the book, he ducked.
As Judy ducked out of danger the
book sailed through window and
out crashed window pane.
When the stern old schoolmaster
appeared after the noon hour he
made inquiry about the broken win
dow. Up stood little Judy and his
friend and told the Circumstances. In
the role of adjudicator the pedagogue
announced that the two pupils were
suspended until each had contributed
$3.50 toward buying new pane of
glass. This time the truth did not
avail.
Judy did not have the twelve bits
and his daddy would not cough. The
other boys pater come across.
Judy and his Dad laid the matter
before the Davis Board of Education
and SC did the schoOlmaster. LikeaIl
boards of education, it sustained the
schoolmaster and affirmed his judge
ment that 'Huckleberry'' Judy was
suspended until he paid the $3.50.
Then young Judy and his Dad
sought the aid of the courts. A pc
tition was fled before Judge F. NJ.
Reynolds, of the circuit court for an
injunction to restrain the Board Of
Education from interfering with
young Judy in his studies and setting
out that the arbitrary ruling had the
effect of setting the youth back in his
studies. Judge Reynolds both de-
clned and refused the writ otInJunc-
ton sought and then the htigants ap-
peared before the supreme court Of
appeals seeking the injunction, but
that tribunal also refused the writ.
The petition was brought by Attorney
R. D. Heironimus, of Davis.
Quaere: Had young Judy remain
ed in statu quo, receiving the blow
from the book, thus preventing the
smash of the window, what would
have been the ruling of the stern old
schoolmaster.

Due 10 q Variety Of Causes, Some Of
Them Serious.
Respiration IN health and under
normal conditions of rest or mod
crate exercise Is an unconscious act,
almost as much SO as digestion or
the beating of the heart, but it IS
very easily disturbed, even IN
health. and in certain diseases It's
disturbance is eften one of the most
distressing symptoms. The short
breath following exertion, such as
running OF hill climbing, is familiar
to every one. It Is due 70 the IN
creased call for oxygenation Of the
blood and the temporary inability
Of the heart to pump the blood IN
sufficient volume through the lungs
When .shortness of breath rs
brought about by moderate exercise
or mental excitement it is due to
some abnormal condition, such as
anaemia, obesity, a weak heart or IN
digestion. This tendency is relieved
BY attention to the weak point,
whatever it may be, and a judicious
system of exercises sort of modi-
fed training.
Permanent shortness of breath,
or dyspnoae. as it is technically
called, is more serious affair and
is usually due to some actual dis
ease. What the disease is of which
this dyspnoae is a symptom can
often be discovered only BY a care
full and thorough medical examina-
ton of all the organs of the body.
1t is often called asthma and
treated at home by inhaling the
fumes of burning inter paper or by
some other of the ordinary rene
dies. But asthma is distinct dis
ease, although its true nature is not
yet definitely determined. 1t oc-
ours in paroxysms. usually at night,
in the intervals of which the breath
ing is generally easy and quiet. Per-
manent dyspnoea is another matter
and is an indication of something
wrong.
1t may be due to great variety
of causes, only few of which can
be mentioned here.
Anaema. or poverty of blood, may
give rise to permanent dyspnoae as
we'll as to shortness of breath on
exertion. The symptom is regu-
lar accompaniment of diminished
lung capacity, either through con-
solidation or more or less of the
lung tissue in tuberculosis or pneu-
monia or through compression of
the lungs by an accumulation of
fluid or air in the chest.
Anything that interferes with the
free action of the heart. such as
weakness of the cardiac muscle or
disease Of the valves of the heart,
pressure by fatty deposits, an en-
larged liver or gas in the stomach,
will produce shortneSs of breath.
Short breath in children is COM
monty the result of obstruction in
the air passages, caused by enlarged
tonsils, the presence of glandular
tissue in the pharynx, called ade-
noids, or swollen condition of the
mucous membrane in the larynx.
Persistent shortness of breath is
a symptom that should not be neg
lected.-Youth's Companion.

AUTOMOBILE INTOLERANCE.

The State Journal does not want
to be unreasonable with automobile
drivers but it would like for some of
them to get nd of the view that they
own the earth. The common idea
by those who run them, that the au-
tomobile has superior rights over
everything else in the public road, is
gross error, and yet this is what
causes, more than anything else, so
many deadly accidents in connection
with the machine. This feeling and
the carrying out of conduct in accor-
dance with it causes great prejudice
against the automobile. 1t has no
peculiar privileges above any other
vehicle. All alike, must regard pro-
peFly the rights of others, in order
to balance things up properly.
The following take-off from Puck,
may not be entirely justifable-cer-
tainly is far from being universally
true-yet there is much to justify it:

THE DEADLY FLY

Seven different varieties of flies
are found in our homes, 9S per cent
of which are represented by the
common house fly. Flies lay their
eggs only in fermenting or decaying
substances-by preference in horse
manure. Hence every stable is a
centeret of infection unless period.
ically disinfected. The fly maggot
is also Matched out in latrines and
ash pit refuse, such as bedding,
straw, rags, paper, scraps of meat,
fruit, etc., on which substance the
larvae subsist after they hatch,
which occurs in about twelve days
after the eggs have been laid. 1t is
estimated that single fly, laying
120 eggs at a time, will produce a
progeny amounting to sextillions by
the end of the season.
The number Of bacteria upon a
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to $500, 900.
The average for Ala flies which were
examined at the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station at Storrs, Con-
necticut, last year was 1880, 900
bacteria apiece. This represents

near Solomonville? We can answer
that by saying that it would not,
and the only reason why such an
article appears in the Bulletin is be-
cause of the fact known to every
body in Graham County that Solo
monville is not the place for the
county hospital and poor farm, or
for the county seat, and the dread
of losing either, causes the Bulletin
to come forward in an article that
casts a slur on the work Of the ap-
praisers and would try to make it
appear that they have not the best
interests Of the county at heart, and
that it would be dishonest to select
a site for the farm elsewhere than
in Solomonville.
It is dollars to doughnuts that if
the appraisers select a site near
Solomonville for the county poor
farm. there will be no kick what
ever from the Bulletin, neither will
we hear anything about considering
the interests of the people of the
east end of the county. Everything
will be alright if the appraisers will
only look for a property near Solo
monville.

"In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. I am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that | ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its use"

Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and

not benefit you take the empty

LITTLE GIRLS COMPOSITION
C0NvULsED SCHOOL

Little Ebba johnson. eleven years
of age and a pupil in the fifth grade
of the Webster school, on lower
St. Croix avenue, has written q
short composition that is giving her
quite local reputation as literary
artist. During the closing exami-
nations of the school year the pupils
were required to write short COM
position on some subject of their
own choosing.
When Ebba's teacher read her
story she smiled. Then she laughed.
Then she showed it to the other
teachers in the Webster school and
they all laughed. 1t got at the last
to Miss Murphy, the principal, and
she realized that it was too good to
lose and has been quietly passing it
around among her friends since.
Here is the story:
Once there was little girl.
She didn't like to go to church, so
one Sunday preacher came to her
house and he said to the little girl:
You haven't been 70 church 20. 9
!oag time
The little CIR! said she d;i.' Z
Ike to come because be suear..
so the preacher said to the little
girl: You come next Sunday; if
you hear me swear you can have an
apple pie. And you sit in the front
seat and you can have the apple pie
if | swear
so next Sunday she went to
church and sat in the front seat
near the apple pie.
He said: BY God we live and
by God we die
And the little girl got up and
said: by God, you lose the apple
pie. From Duluth Evening Herald

WHERE PEOPLE HAVE
TWELVE TOES

On the line between Lincoln and
Sagadahoc Counties is a settlement
of thrifty farming folks who have a
popularity which is but little known
outside, says the Bangor, Me-, cor
respondent of the Boston Post.
1t is not visible and a stranger
might go there year in and year out
without ever discovering that they
were any different from ordinary
people in a farming community.
They are peculiar for the number
of people in the settlement who
have six toes on each foot.
The six-toe belt lies partly in the
town of Dresden, in Lincoln County.
and partly in Woolwich, in Saga
dahoc County. Just how many peo-
pie there are there who have more
than their share of toes would be
hard to say, but there is quite
number, and the way in which they
came to have them is a mystery in
the first place, although there are a
number Of traditions as to how it
happened. One man is said to have
been born with six toes several gen.
erations ago, and the popularity ap-
peared in many of his defendants.
Like many country districts, the
people have been born, brought up,
settled on farms in the vicinity, and
married into each others families
until time has produced a number
of six-toed people in a comparative
ly small place.
Rather than being a benefit to
them, the extra toe is somewhat Of
an affliction in a number of ways,
especially in getting shoes to fit
them, for no shoemaker has yet
ventured to manufacture a special
line of boots for six-toed people.
At time several years ago when
it was all the rage to wear the ex-
treme pointed toed shoes, these peo-
pie were in sorry plight. To crowd
six toes into a shoe with a capacity
for three, but in which vain man
often crowded five, was too much
for these people.
The sixth toe is an offshoot from
the little toe of the ordinary foot. |
1t is perfect in shape, although it is
not always in alignment with the
other five toes of the foot.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
FOR 1908

The Territorial Board of Equali-
zation on Saturday, June 18th, COM
pleted the listing of railroad prop.
erty in the Territory and the fixing
of valuations. The latter will total
about three-quarters of a million
dollars more than the valuations of
one year ago, in addition to which
there is an added valuation of $4,000
on the Pullman company. The main
increases in valuation are due to the
voluntary listing by the companies
themselves, of rolling stock added
during the past year, though there
were few slight changes made by
the Board. In one instance, that of
the Arizona Commercial Company,
of Globe, a penalty of thirty cents
was assessed, for the reason that
the compony neglected to furnish
the Board with a schedule of its
railroad property, as required by
law. This thirty per cent. adds
Sc, 900 to the total valuation.
Following is a schedule showing
the names of the roads assessed,
their mileage, the rate of valuation
per mile this year and the rate of
valuation per mile last year. The
totals have not been figured up.
In the table N. G. means narrow
guage, and for the benefit of some
readers who may not know all of
the little roads in the Territory, it
is mentioned that the Great Western
is the road from Kingman to Chic
ride, the Arizona & Chloride is one
of the roads building into Courtland,
the Central Arizona and the Sagi-
nav & Manistee are logging roads
in northern Arizona. The Old Do
minion Copper Mining & Smelling
Company's road and the Arizo g
Commercial are new ones, and the
Ray has hitherto been assessed by
the county assessor as tram and
not by the Territorial Board.
The exemption on the property of
the Great Western and the Grand
Canyon roads expired about the first
of March this year. They have been
for the two preceding
wears, but the taxes have not been
collected, the matter being in litiga-
ton, as to whether the present own
ers were entitled to the exemption
then in force under the original |
privilege given.
