After January l,.l9ll, passengers
on the Inland Electric Company's
trains in Idaho will have some little
difficulty to obtain q drink of water,
for after that date al public drinking
cups In stations and trains will be
abolished.
A bulletin was issued Thursday
morning calling the attention OF all
trainmen to Rule 81 OF the idaho
Board Of Health. passed October 6,
1910. which positively forbids any
common carrier from furnishing COM
mon drinking cups to their patrons.
AS soon as the Idaho line is
reached, the trainmen will take up
the cups and lock them in closet
until the train is on the return trim
and has entered the State of Wash
ington again. for the Washington
statutes read that each common car
rier must furnish cups and good
water in its stations and on its
trains.

A competent piano tuner says that
pianos often deteriorate because they
become too dry. He gives this rem.
e6y:
Keep growing plant in the room
and SO long as the plant thrives. your
piano should do 50. Try it and see
how much more water you will have
to put in the flower pot than in other
rooms.
Some people place a vase or urn
with wet sponge in it near or under
the piano to keep it moistened. They
do this while the fires are on.

IN one instance has come to hand, ac-
cording to United States Fish Com

> Within the last year it has been
ascertained," says Mr.. Bowers, that
the species has become established

pertinent. the bureau made q plant

The Birds House clesninf.

The cages in the bird rooms at the
Central Park menagcrie. New York,
were being painted lately and the
Tribune had an amusing story about
the time when birds of feather
did not flock together. Chattering
parrots and whistling canaries, cock.
atoos and crows were all mixed up,
and such q chattering and cawing
and futtering and fitting as there
was! The keepers said that it would
take them long time to get the
birds all sorted out again and SET
into the right cages. One parrot,
Castro, who is said to speak four
languages, was exasperating another
who commands only one. This was
Dick, the patriarch of the park par
rots.

he rendered a melody of popular
songs on glass bottles, it recalled in
fancy, the memory of Alice Oats.
the most popular burlesque artist in
the United States, in her day. and
Of Martin O'Reardon, the greatest
manipulation of glass bottles. as a
musical feature. in his day and time
in the world. These two were par.
ties in romance which was very
interesting to the theatrical profes.
sion at the time l write of, for they
were great favorites with the public,
and numbered their friends and ad.
mirers by the thousands, over all the
country.
Alice Oats was one of the pret.
tiest girls that ever graced an Amer

ed in mystery. Some said she was
the outcast child OF a wealthy family,
others that she was one of the many
in an humble Irishman's family. BE
that as it may. her beauty made her
a universal favorite. With the in
crease Of prosperity her ambition de-
veloped until she organized and led a
burlesque attraction, that was rec
ognized as the best of her day.
In those days burlesque was more
worthy than it is now, 1t developed
more talent and had a good rate

selections. An artist on the stage
and a natural musician, he rapidly
advanced to the highest rank in the
profession. While he was enter.

was captivating Miss Oats, for in q
short time after their meeting he
was accepted as her affianced lover
and the day was set for the marriage
ceremony.
'Rearden cOmmemorated the event
by composing and dedicating to Miss
Oats the Marriage Bell" song anG

place in the memory of all lovers O

They Brought Trade and Saved Their
Inventor From Failure.
Rubber oysters laid the founda-
ton of my success" said million
aire hotel man.
i had a small saloon in those
days. and things looked very black.
They looked. in fact like bankruptcy.
So in desperation l cut an old rubber
doormat into oyster shaped pieces
on April ! and fried them in egg and
breadcrumbs to tasty brown.
There was only one man in the
bar when l fetched in that dish of
smoking rubber oysters. His eyes
glittered, and he grabbed fork, jab-
bed it into q big fellow and took a
hungry bise.
Seeing the surprised look that
spread over his face. 1 turned away
to hide a smile. He gave an awk-
ward laugh and said:
" Them's fine oysters. I'll bring
a couple Of the boys in to sample
them
Sure enough, he brought two
friends who no sooner saw the appe-
tizing rubber oysters than. setting
down their beer, they each sunk their
teeth into one.
They. too, sent in friends for
oysters. l fried no less than three
old doormats and two overshoes that
April fool day. The whole town
laughed, and the papers printed fun
ny stories about my joke. My joint
got real popular.
In short, l was saved-saved
from bankruptcy by rubber oysters.
