Swallowed and Climbed.

A woman newly rich was invited to an aristocratic dinner party. During the course of fowl and salad this wo- man noticed with dismay a fat, furry caterpillar on her topmost leaf of let tuce- ~ ~GIancing up. she met her aristo- cratic hostess eye. The hostess, too. had seen the caterpillar. Her gaze i'm plored the guest to save the dinner from catastrophe. The guest gave her hostess reassuring smile. Then she doubled q lettuce leaf around the cat erpillar and swallowed it calmly. The look of awe and gratitude that hel hostess gave her was an assurance that her footing in society was at las: firmly established.
 Did you think,'' said Mrs. Newly rich to her daughter afterward, that I'd lose a chance of establishing the family socially for little thing like a caferpilIar?"

If For Tai.

A newspaper man who called on a local manufacturer the other day to pay a friendly visit found the latter in no mood for friendly calls. He was in a white heat.
 Whats the matter ?" asked the vis- itor. You don't seem pleased to see me-
 'Oh, would be pleased to see you,'' said the other, eff I wasn't so mighty mad at the neanest piece of petty holdup I ever saw. Here's a check from a fellow who owed me a bill for ninety days, and darned if he hasn't mailed the check at last and subtract ed the 2 cents for the postage stamp that brought the letter.
 Can you beat that?' exclaimed the visitor as he eyed the check.
 EfI can,' said the other as he reached for telegraph blank. ''I am going to wire him receipt in full, and I'll wire it collect.''-Newark Call.

POLI'S

The pleasing change in weather con- ditions has served to entice people out of doors by the thousands and the mecca of all amusement seekers is Po- lis theater. This afternoon a capacity audience greeted the first presentation of an excellent bill of all star acts headed by Gus Edwards School Boys and Girls the pioneer of all acts of this the cheap adulteration. This is the clever act that has survived all the in1itators and while occasionally an old one pops up it is of necessity com pelled to conf1ne it's attentions to the cheaper priced houses.

suprems Court Mays

When the supreme court of the Unit ed States assemblies at 12 o'clock on each Monday the room is filled with lawyers, clerks, newspaper men and spectators. Routine announcements are made by the chief justice in a voice no one can understand. Deci- sions of great moment are rendered by other justices in mumbled words which are not heard. Lawyers. clerks, news paper men and>spectators stare hard at the honorable justice who may be talk ing or reading, some with hands curv- ed into round board so that they can catch few words if possible. But no one in the courtroom shouts 'tLouderr' No one would last very long if he did And should person be sentenced for contempt of the supreme court it would be the end.

How Es<imoe Measure Time.


 Writing of the Eskimo methods of measuring time i'll d region of six months day or night, Harry Whitney in Outing says:
 ''The Eskimo divides his periods into 'sleeps,' but a sleep does not designate by any means the civilized measure of day and night. 1t is, in fact, a very uncertain term. Often we traveleo from twenty to thirty hours without rest. Now there was no night, and ] so far lost count of time that was not at all certain of dates. Our Singlt marches with the succeeding sleep not infrequentIy covered full forty eight hours, or two ordinary days The object of these extended marche was to take advantage of good weatb CT and general conditions or becaus no safe or convenient camping place presented itself in the interim

snohr and the Violin.

Louis Spohr, the greatest of all Ger man vfolinists and man whose name Is otherwise indelib1y written on the pages of musical history, was born at Brunswick on April 5, 1784, just fifteen days after his great contemporary and rival, Nico1o Paganini, first saw the light of the world. Two greater con- trasts than these two men could not be imagined. Paganini, the brilliant, dazzling, comet-like apparition, over awed the masses, for whose favor he made high bid, while the German. the serious, dignifed, deep artist, ap- pealed to the connoisseurs and cultur- ed musicians. Spohr both by precept and example exerted 8 tremendous in- fuence on violin playing and violin composition and, in fact, on compost ton in general. The greatest musi- clans of his day stood in awe of him, and even Richard Wagner, after Spoh1 had produced ''The Flying Dutehman'' at Cassel in 1S43, where he was then conductor of the opera. in letter writ ten to the great vioiinist displayed a sense of gratitude of which in later years he seemed incapable Spohr died at Cassel in 1S59.-Argonaut.

IDAHO SURPRISED THE NATION

Idaho is very much in the public
eye just now, and more so because
Of somethign that happened at the
Laymen's Missionary convention held
in Boise two weeks ago. OF course
nothing that happens absorbs so very
much of the public attention, but
Idaho has succeeded in getting more
people to paying attention to her
great Carey projects than any other
part of the country, and it is ex-
ceedingly fortunate that while so
many people are seeking information
about Idaho, her citizens and institu-
tons, that something should happen
to- answer for her character better
and more conyincingly than anything
the numerous commercial clubs and
lecturers could have done.
The Laymen's Missionary move
ment consisted of series of meetings
held in seventy-five of the leading
cities of the United States to report
to business men, just what modern
missionary work consists of in the
foreign countries and how it affects
the world commercially and socially
as well as spiritually. The work is
handled from the central Office in
New York City, and is interdenomina-
tional, combining all who are inter-
ested in evangelical work.

MEDICINE VS. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

A suit is in the courts of Colorado
from La Junta, to determine whether
parents have the legal right to de-
eide for themselves whether they
shall employ medical doctor or not
when their children are Ill. In the
case pending, Mr.. and Mrs. Messenger
had six children, and all of them took
sick with similar symptoms, though
not all at the same time. They call
ed medical doctors to treat those that
took sick first and all three of them
died. Others were being taken with
it, and they dismissed the physicians
and employed Christian Science prac-
titioners with the result that two of
them recovered, and the third was be-
ing treated in the same way when the
suit was brought.
The case was tried on Monday, and
the judge held that the parents were
guilty of neglect in having the latter
three children treated as they were,
without a medical man, and by this
course they forfeited the right to
have charge of the children. All this
in the face of the fact that the phys
icians with full sway had lost those
they treated, and the others had saw
ed two out of three and still had a
chance to save the third.
If the conditions had been reversed
and the deaths had resulted from the
Christian Science treatment or water
cure or some other methods not in
trenched behind a blind law and a
claim upon science, what an uproar
there would be about it. But as it
is Hush" Is the word.
