Next Tuesday, September 10, is
the date OF the primary election.
Opponents of the primary system
argue that the voters by the lack of
interest and failure to get out and
vote show disregard of the privi-
lege OF participating in nominations
without delegating that power to
caucnses and conventions. If you
live In precinct which contains
an incorporated town it will be
necessary for you to register before
you can vote. All registration
books are closed on the day of the
primary, Sept IL being the last day
you can register until after the pri-
mary.

A. E. Veatch, of Colville, editor
of the Statesman-Index, and Stew
ems county's candidate for repre-
sentative in congress, has received
endorsements that indicate he will
receive large vote and his chances
for election are conceded to be
among the best. That he will re-
ceive large vote in his home
county and other counties of the
north part of the district seems as
sured, and he will have strong
following in Spokane, also a big
showing on second choice votes.

OLD SLAVE CITY IN AFRICA
Or. Peters Finds First Actual Ancient
Inscription Found in South
Africa.

Dr. Carl Peters. the German explor-
er, tells of strange finds in South At
RIGA: Il was fortunate enough to dis
cover tablet which, so far as know,
contains the first actual ancient in
scription found in South Africa. For
merly discoveries have not been Of
proved actual Inscriptions, but Of
stones bearing marks strongly resem-
bling ancient Semitic writings. The
tablet in question was found by one
of my men in slave pit to the south
of Inyanga, north of Umtali The dis
trict contains hundreds of these pits,
from twenty to twenty-five feet deep,
in which the ancients kept their slaves.
The tablet was evidently made of ce-
ment and had been cut in two, clearly
ing in no way damaged. The characters
look to me like Greek letters. but other
experts say they are Graeco-Phoeni-
clan. take it to be the half of an
ancient passport, one portion Of which
was retained by the master and the
other handed to the messenger.
81 also discovered near Zimbabwe a
brass figure of Pan, six and half
inches in length, very similar to the
figures found at Pompeii, thus proving
Greek influence in South Africa appar-
emily at later period than the tablet
have mentioned. These and other
discoveries are to my mind further
proof that in South Africa there has
been continuation of different civili-
cations.
1T has also been shown that during
all these periods gold mining has been
carried on. Apparently this was be-
gun by natives of the soil, probably
bushmen, and it seems likely that the
first Semitic people who appeared on
the scene were only traders in the
precious metal"

REAL JUDAS FEAST AT TOKYO
Enmty in Division Of Spoils and TIPS
Between Guides Leads to
Tragedy.

Kosaku was the head guide at a big
Tokyo hotel. He and another guide
called Tomora, who also acted as po-
liceman and incidentally as spy on
foreigners, were constantly quarrel1ng
about the tips and spoils they extract
ed from globe-trotters, lays the Wide
World. Kosaku finally proposed re-
porting Tomora to the police authorl-
ties and so destroying his hopes OF a
pension. At the end of the year To-
mora one day dressed himself careful
ly in foreign clothes, loaded revolver,
put it in his pocket, and invited the
unfortunate Kosaku to feast at a tea
house. 1t was indeed Judas repast
The two men ate together and drank
One after another, as little stone bot
ties Of sake were emptied, the former
enemies swore In bibulous phrases that
all was forgiven. Together they start
ed to return to the hotel, both appar'
emily full of happiness and peace OF
mind and resolved that in future they
would fleece the stranger within theiI
gates hand in hand, as beloved breth'
rem should. Then, just by the bridge
near the hotel-the untidy bridge
where the trans meet-Tomora turned
like wolf and suddenly shot Kasakt
in the neck and body-shot with un
erring aim, for Kosaku fell dead with
out moan. Tomora then killed him
self on the spot. He had not forgiven
but was there not supreme and crue
treachery in spending his last hour
making merry with his victim?

LINES or LEAST RESISTANCE
FalIaclous Philosophy Upon Which
Most Parents Act in Train
ing Children.

Many youths are trained along the
lines of least resistance Inelr
careers are watched SO that they may
not run against obstacles and disap'
pointments. They get all the money
clothes, idling, pleasures they want,
without making single effort to ros'
sess them. 1--WE want John to have
a good time now, for after awhile ne
may not have IT, is The philosophy
upon which many parents act.
1t is great folly. The boy who IS
put on the lines Of least resistance
and meets with few If any adversities,
gathers little strength of mind or
character. There is no gliding for
ward. There is no step in advance
that does not involve an effort. The
boy whose path is made smooth and
easy for him is like the pupil In
school who studies arithmetic with a
key. He got his lessons, but he died.
at last, in an infrmary.
Just mark 1t down, oh rich and Low
ing parent, that your boy, raised IN
ease and comfort and with every ad
vantage ready at hand, provided BY
your bounty, will not amount to hi
of beans out in the world, where hero
ism is in demand and true worth II
the test of manhood.
1t is unfortunate for any boy not tt
have a struggle during the formation
period of life, and boy with reso
luton to make his way is far bette
off than boy with money to buy 1t
Stick pin right there.

OLD AGE is MEMORABLE
Men Find 1t Out When They Attempt
to Frlsk About In Boy
Fashion.

II you ever doubt that you're grow
ing old and sedate, you fathers, just
take the kids out into the woods and
see the difference between yourself
of today and yesterday.
You see them plunging about with
whoops of Joy, and generally living
gladly.
And you-well, when you try to sit
down your knees creak, and the
leaves beneath you don't seem as
they once did.
The golden sunshine filters through
the trees; the rustic Of small living
things resounds through the woods;
the perfume of rich ripening things
floats to you, and within you some
thing is struggling to break loose.
You don't know just what it is, but
1t hurts. You are too old now to run
and whoop and carry on like those
kids. 1t would be beneath your dig
nifty but something within you seems
calling to you, and your old body can't
respond.
You want to yell and run-that is
you believe you do. but it's no use
Something is holding you back.
| So there you sit and watch the
children playing, and their happiness
is as once yours was.
And 1t makes tho heart ache t
think Of it-some day they will bt
even as you-longing to break, loose
into Joy born of the autumn, but helt
back. Held back by something lAa
we call old age.

LARGELY MATTER OF FAITH
Proof of Authenticity of Relics, Re-
igious or Historical, in Most
Cases Impossible.

The authenticity of relics religious
or historical, must in many cases De
largely a matter of faith proof Is
often lacking, often indeed impossible
to procure. The number OF coucnes
notable from the fact that they have
been slept in by good Queen Bess"
shown In manor houses is legion and
the same may be said Of many other
historical heirlooms the real history
OF which is lost in the mists OF an
tiuuity. How many pairs of gloves
were given by King Charles as keep
sakes on the day Of his execution!
There are quite number Of claimants
for the honor One pair has recently
been the cause of law suit, and II
was said ir the course Of the trial
that they were given by the king to
Bishop Juxon on the scaffold. There
is yet another pair which has had a
far stranger history than most Stuart
relics, which have indeed little MS
tory, but quiet passing from genera
ton to generation in English country
houses. They were sent by King
Charles on the day of execution by q
trusty hand to Speaker Lenthall for
amity's sake" Only one Of the pair
now survives, the other was burned
In a bush fire in Australia. The
precious gloves had gone there when
the Lenthalls awhile ago left their
homes and their lands and had, with
Charles HIS pardon Of Lenthall, beer
cherished in many wanderings In Au
stralia. The surviving glove and the
pardon are now back in England, pc
cause happily the Lenthalls are back
1t is quite likely that King Charles
gave away several pairs Of gloves, 10
gloves then were costly things-citie
gave them to visiting sovereign
where now addresses or gold POKE
are given. But in the days OF tn
Stuarts gloves were costly enough Q
any rate to carry a sentiment, even
kings sentiment.

Women Divers IN Japan.

Among the. many different methods
employed in Japan for pearl fishing
none is more interesting than that
employed by the women divers who
obtain the pearl oysters. Pearl fish
ing is conducted mainly by men div
ers in Australia and India and other
countries, but in the region about
Ago Bay, in the province of Shima,
as we'll as in other parts Of the coun-
try. women are employed in diving.
The Mikimoto pearl farms lie at a
depth of from five to thirty Gathoms,
with an average Of ten fathoms. The
women dive to the bottom without
any special apparatus, and retain
their breath while they remain under
the water. They stay under the sur
face from one to three minutes. When
they are chilled they return to the
shore, and warm themselves It fires
built in, huts especially for the pur-
pose, and then return and resume
their work.
