Self Examination.

Every mans life is an imperfect sort
of circle which he repeateth and run
meth over every day. He hath a set
OF thoughts. desires and inclinations
which return upon him in their proper
time and order and will very hardly
be laid aside to make room for any
thing new and uncommon, so that call
upon him when you please to set
about the study of his own heart and
you are sure to find him pre-engaged.
Either he has some business to do or
some company that he must entertain
or some cross accident hath put him
out of humor and untitled him for
such a grave employment And thus
it cometh to pass that man can new
er find leisure to look into himself, be-
cause he doth not set apart some por-
ton of the day for that very purpose,
but foolishly deferreth from one day
to another until his glass is almost
run out and he is called upon TO give
miserable account of himself in the
other world.-Dean Swift.

Goat Eats Live Copy"

Wallace, Idaho, May 25-A pet
Angora goat, belonging to a we'll
known old-timer, known as "Old
Joe" escaped from the enclosure
this morning and came down town.
Frightened by the unusual sur
roundings it bounded into the COM

quarter hour before the animal
WAS captured by Editor Malcolm
Glendinning and the Office devil, it
We'd with the proverbial bull in the
china shop in working mischief.
Racing through the Office, over
composing stones and tables, the
goat pied several forms of type
waiting to be put on the presses,
chased the office bulldog out of the
window, then, attracted by hutter-
ing sheets Of paper on the copy
hook jumped over Linotype Opera

ing copy off the hook and devour-

This was the final act that
aroused the editors wrath, and by

by the horns and tail and thrown
bodily through the front door.

regarded the rail as greatly improved

to Philadelphia, Girard went aboard

return to shore asked one of the sea-
men who had been cutting the rail.
The seaman told him the captain and
then, afraid his telling might have IN

GARDINER AND PELLENS DEAD
From Inhaling Fumes of an Exhaust
Pipe of Gasoline Launch

A sad incident occurred last Sun
day evening on the launch Belle
running on Lake Pend de Oreille
at Standpoint. The Standpoint bail
team had played game at New
port, Wn., and on their return trip
one of their players, Fred Gardner
and friend, Harold Pellens, died
from inhaling the fnmes of the ex-
haust pipe of the boat. While
another, Arthur Flynn narrowly
escapes and tells the story to the
Northern Idaho News as follows:
He with Piches and Pellens had
gone to the rear to keep out OF the
wind, but later Riches gave up his
seat to Gardner, who was not as
heavily dressed. Gardner seated
himself on the toilet while yonng
Pellens sat on the floor below
Flynn sat on the combing of the
boat higher up than either of the
other two and by so doing no
doubt saved his life. After getting
along near Wrenco it became cold
in the compartment and one of the
boys suggested putting the curtain
down. This was done, but nothing
thought of the matter. Gardner
and the Pellens boy soon fell
asleep, the little fellow going to
asleep apparently while standing
in the corner before seating him
self on the floor. While the boat
was this side of Dover and about
three miles from the landing at the
dock, Flynn spoke to Gardner and
the boy, telling them that they
were nearly home. At that Gardner
merely grunted a reply, while the
Pellehs boy did not answer at all
Flynn thought the others were
asleep and accordingly did not car,
to awaken them until they reached
the dock, but shortly after thatFlynr
became unconscious and remem
befed nothing until he was seated
in chair in the boat house, hav
ing been taken from the boat ate,
the landing had been made.
