Placer Miners Now AS
sured a Long Run.
STORM WAS A SEVERE ONE
Freighters and Stage Drivers
Have Troubles.

All central Idaho was in the
grip Of the severest storm of the
season from Sunday night until
Tuesday morning, and the heavy
fall Of snow that placer miners
had hoped for is now in evidence,
there being about three feet on
the level in Elk City.
The storm was the worst that
travellers have had to contend
with in a number Of years. A
strong wind that frequently took
the form Of a gale reigned during
the storm period at this altitude,
while up on the mountains the
storm was a regular northern
blizzard. Freighters and stage
drivers experienced much diff

ule time. The driver on the
Dixie stage Monday had to un-
hook near the summit of the di-
vide and go the rest Of the trip

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

tiptoes with their fingers on their lips,
making necessary remarks in awe

Why all this hush and mystery?
Why, because the baby goes to
sleep at that hour. of course.
1 was in another home yesterday
where the two big brothers were play
ing tennis under the bedroom window
and little sister was practicing her
scales In the parlor and big sister was
entertaining a group of SWANS on the
front veranda. while little mother was
putting the baby to bed.
AS she closed the baby's door and
came smiling down the stairs to me, a
sally from big sister greeted by an
uproarious burst of laughter from the
SWANS. big brother started a new set
with the loud voiced and triumphant
''Three-love,'' and little sister reached
the loud pedal part of her exercise.
You don't mean TO say that baby
will go to sleep in all this racket" I
demanded in amazement.

mother serenely, che will be asleep in

The man or woman who is the least

most comfortable and the most effica-
cious in this world.
IT simply cannot sleep we'll in any

say the other day.
If 1 felt that way it seems to me I'd
upset the family to the extent of sleep
ing night or two in every bed In the
house until I had freed myself from
that dependence upon condition.

that he cannot do good work unless he

Boston. Aug. 9.-The next time Syed
Mohammed wants a sea bath he will
take a sharp look at the ocean before
he jumps in. If he sees any sharks
he probably will remain on dry land.
Syed is a Lascar sailor. and he shipped
at Calcutta or board the steamer Ka-
binga, which has just reached this
port When the vessel was passing
through the Red Sea, Syed became
crazed by the heat and jumped over
board. No trace of the Lascar could
be found.
Several hours later the steamer

his hand. he was fighting a terrific
duel with a twenty-foot man-eating
shark. A boat was lowered, the
wounded shark dived and Syed was
rescued.

Rumor has it that young man who
has been travelling abroad this summer
has returned prior to the party with
whom he sailed, to be married about
the middle of this month to girl to
whom he has been engaged for more
than five years. A little of that rush
and hurry before he left in June would
have meant foreign trip to the young
woman who has waited long enough
to earn that kind of reward.

The Kangaroo walk, the Grecian
bend, and the gliding step have had
their day. The gait to be practtced
now is the hobble walk, if you are to
be truly a la mode and change your
walk with the fashions. There are
two varieties of the new walk, as ex-
planned by the knowing ones who make
the gowns for which they are needed.
One has a trifie shorter step than the
other. the length of the step depending
on the scantiness of the skirt The
walk must be brisk, but not hurried.
There is shoulder action accompani-
ment to the walk that is the hardest
part of it and decidedly important and
not to be sighted. When the right
foot goes out, up goes the left shoulder
with a circular twist-just little one.
When the left foot is advanced, the
right shoulder duplicates the circular
twist. The walk requires sprightliness
of action above all things. There is to
be no dragging movement, for, as the
fashion queens say, "If women must
be shackled, let them be artistic in
their martyrdom."
Here is a charming frock of gray
wolfe. with trimmings of cream lace,
which should appeal to the lover of
simplicity and chic. The bodice is cut
in one with the sleeves, which, in this
case, are long, and both are severely

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 9.-Alexander
Craig, working on a threshfng machine
near here, was injured seriously and
perhaps fatally last night. The fan in
the separator was not working right
and when Craig crawled in to fix it
someone gave the signal to start the
machine. The belt was thrown off be-
fore the machine was fairly started,
but not until Craig,s leg was broken
and his ankle and foot crushed.

That sounds rather absurd, doesn't
it? And yet a lot of us have fetish
buttons of one sort or another. upon
whose presence we let our comfort and
and facility depend.
That first baby, for instance, when
he grows up will have the fetish of an
inability to go to sleep unless there is
absolute quiet.
Isn't it better when we find we have
gotten into such ways, to cut off the
button ourselves, and learn to recite
without it. rather than to risk being
utterly upset if it is unexpectedly cut
off by circumstances

when you find newspaper that

NEW ACADEMY PROPOSED.
England Wants One Devoted to Litera,
+ura-Mr Ghor&arye Norn.,oar%

England Wants One Devoted to Litera-
ture--Mr. Shorter's Comment.
There is much discussion at present
in England over the academy of lit
erature which those interested in lit
erary affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pc
riodical that the business of the selec-
ton Of members is to be the work of
himself and Douglas Freshfield.
The difficulty of selecting members
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers is mani
fest, The story of lola is recalled.
The French author after having been
received in England with considerable
enthusiasm said with, regard to the
French academy: Nov l am safe. /
shall drop into it as easily as a sou
into slot" But M. lola was never
elected to the academy.
There is one literary organization in
London which is doing much practical
and needed work-the Royal Literary
fund. Poverty is hardest to bear
when it is accompanied by imagina-
ton in the VICTIM" writes Mr.. Shorter,
s'and have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authors whose pen
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman, or, In
deed, to the Fleet street journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship."
