Swindle with Trees.

"Up in Putnam county" said Rev.
Charles II Ashmead, assistant rector
of ST. Andrews Memorial church
Yonkers, N. Y, 81 found a man who
had been victimized through a tree
swindle."
That's rather new" observed by
stander.
81 can't say. but 1t was certainly new
to him. Well, it seems that he bought
a piece of land largely because of the
young and beautiful shade trees-elms
and maples-with which it was
adorned"
Intended to build at home there,
probably"
THAT was his plan, but soon after
he had paid the money and the land
operator had disappeared the buyer
noticed that all the trees were dying
Investigation revealed the fact that the
presumably thrifty saplings had nc
roots They had been cut down in q
forest, their trunks pointed with an
ak and merely stuck upright in the
ground, OF course they died. and also
Of course the buyer was sTindled.'"

Up.to-Date Burglary.

Burglars broke in to Philadelphia
residence.
The sleeping family remained un-
conscious Of their presence.
Nobody knew how long the maraud-
ers remained in the rooms below.
There was much silverware lying
on the massive sideboard. There
were bowls and pitchers and platters
and countless spoons-and it was all
real stuff
Did the burglars take this silver?
Did they make huge package of
the precious material and slip away
with 1t over the back fence?
No, they did not.
They took the fragments of cold
turkey, and the remains of boiled
ham, and dish of baked beans, and
box of biscuits, and a chunk of do
nestle cheese, and a can of olives.
They knew what they wanted.
They were familiar with market
quotations.
They took the real stuff of thu
stufliest kind
Moral: Never mind the silver
lock up the food.-Cleveland PiaiI

Where sympathy Is Withheld.

The adult man who ventures into
matrimony always does so with his
eyes open He has heard the heart
breaking stories of his married
friends, he has been favored with the
solemn warnings of widowers, sod
and grass, and his bachelor well-wish-
ers have exhorted him eloquently.
When, despite all these efforts to save
him, he yields to hypnotic advances of
some scheming widow or match-mak-
inf mamma and permits himself to
be lured up the Aisle of Signs, to
the cacophonous music of "Lohen-
grin" and with a high collar around
his neck and tight shoes upon his
feet-in such event all sympathy for
the fellow becomes kissing and a
hooking. AS we'll pity the winebib-
Der who complains of the morrow's
malaise, on the soldier who COM
plains of wounds, or the yokel who
raises cry of treachery when the
adroit thimble-rigger rakes in his
hoard.-Baltimore Sun.

MAN'SDEADLY WORK
LONG LIST OF LIVING CREATURES
WIPED OUT.
Greed In Many Cases and In Others
Simply the Desire to XIII Has
Been Responsible for the
Slaughter.

Sir Ray Lancaster writes OF the
enormous number of living creatures
which man has destroyed since he
first appeared on earth: Even in pre-
historic times 1t is probable that man
by hunting the mammoth-the great
hairy elephant-assisted in it's extinc-
ton, If he did not actually bring it
about. At remote prehistoric period
the horses of various kinds which
abounded in North and South America
rapidly and suddenly became extinct.
1t has been suggested, with some show
of probability, that a previously UNI
known epidemic disease due to para
site organism-such as those which
we now see ravaging the herds Of
South Africa-found its way to the
American continent. And it is quite
possible that this was brought from
the other hemisphere by the first men
who crossed the Pacific and populated
North America
ITO come to matters of certainty
and not of speculation, we know that
man by clearing the land, as well as
by actively hunting and killing it, made
an end of the great wild OK of Europe,
the aurochs or urus of Caesar, the last
Of which was killed near Warsaw in
1927. He similarly destroyed the bison
first in Europe and then Tin our own
days. in North America. A few hun
dred, carefully guarded, are all that
remain in the two continents. He has
very nearly made an end of the elk in
Europe, and will soon do so completely
in America. The wolf and the beaver
were destroyed in these British island!
about 400 years ago. They are rapid

Too Reminiscent.

The Saturday Evening Post tells Of
a senator who was making a speech.
After he had finished there was re-
ception at one of the hotels. A little
man pushed eagerly forward.
Hello, senator!" he shouted.
"How do you do, sir?"
"Say, senator, you remember me?
I'm Jones-Jones of Springfield, you
know. l met you down there. Re-
member how full we got together"
81 do not" replied the senator Jelly.
They pushed Jones away, but soon
he was back.
Hello, senator!" he shouted. Don't
you remember that time down in st.
Louis we went out and made a night
of it? Jones of Springfield, you
know"
The showed Jones away again, and
somebody standing near the senator
asked: who's your friend?"

Wouldn't Inlure Il.

On one occasion an English Judge
gave an exhaustive decision in case,
after which the lawyer for the plaintiff
rose and questioned It,
Pardon me-" said his lordship, Il
cannot allow you to reopen this case
after 1 have given my final decision. I
may be wrong, but that is my opin-
ion"
The lawyer rudely replied:
"Then, m'lud, know 1t is no use my

wall l suppose must sit DOWN."
The judge, adjusting his eyeglasses
and looking sarcastically at the law
yer, said:
"Sir, know 1t is of no use for you
to knock your head against brick
wall, but, may add, ! know no one
else who could perform such an opera
ton with less injury to himself than

Not Now

Inc u. q +. railroad from
Armstead to Salmon is as much
of mystery as it ever was, and
President w. A. McCutcheon in
forms US that his road is not
owned by Hill nor Hartman.
Who owns it, then ? That's the
mystery.
Actual construction work on
the proposed extensions of the
Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad
from Salmon City west to Lewis
ton along the Salmon river as
we'll as southwest via. Chall;s to
Boise, will not take place for
some time, according to the
statement of President w. A.
McCrutcheOn. The announce
ment is considered of unusual
Importance due to the fact that
it has been generally considered
that the Gilmore & Pittsburg is
financed by the Pittsburg Trust
company of Pittsburg, which is
also furnishing the capital for
the construction of the North
Coast, identifying both lines as
backed by the same people.
Whether the Hill, Hartman,
Burlington, Northwestern or the
Milwaukee interests are back of
this trust company is not detln
itely known by railroad men.
The following announcement
of Mr.. McCutcheon appeared in
the Engineering News recently /:
Nv. A. McCutcheon, president
of the Gilmore & Pittsburg, Mac
hesney building, Pittsburg, ad-
vises US as follows: We have
been engaged in making some
surveys from Salmon City west
through the valley of the Sal
mon river, and have also sur
veyed south on the Salmon riv-
er about 90 miles to Challis.
This work las been done as the
part of plan to intelligently
examine the country surround
ing US, but for the time being we
do not contemplate the building
of any extensions in either OF
these directions. .
Yet, in spite of the above, We
learn that the first of last week
another crew of surveyors fol
this road left Salmon City and
are coming up the river.
1t is also stated that this roat
is negotiating for timber con
tracts this side of Salmon City.
1t is probable that this las
crew of surveyors are cross
sectiOning the survey between
Salmon and Challis. Up to this
time it will make four differen
survey parties that have beer
over the line between here ant
| Salmon City. Mr.. McCutcheol
NAV of have made the abOv
statement to keep his plans con
cealed from other roads.

According to reports Teddy is
in favor of Taft for another
term. Teddy palmed Taft of on
the people once. but we don't
think he can do it again. The
American people are pretty hard
to humbug twice on the same
game.
1t has been suggested that the
reason why Buffalo Bill did not
take his Wild West Show to Eu-
rope this year, was because he
felt he could not compete with
the free exhibition that Col.
Roosevelt hos furnished the pub
lie of Europe.
Brother Taft has announced
that four years is enough. Wise
prophet, Mr.. Taft ! While you
seem to mean we'll. the trusts
have got such a strong hold on
your party that the country has
decided to send Democrat to
the White House when your
term ends.
The election held in Challis
last Saturday, June IL, to vote
$8, 900 bonds to put in water
works for the village was de-
feated by a vote, of 81 for the
bonds to 18 against the bonds.
The law requires a thirds
vote to carry bond proposition.
The bonds probably would have
carried had electric lights been
included.

His Life An Open Book

AiiO uNCPCl UIC pOlltlCdl clc-
mics of Governor Brady investi-
gate into his past record the less
they like it, for every page that
is turned reads as an open book,
and leaves them less grounds for
continued opposition to his re-
election as governor. This will
win to his support the fair mind
ed and sincere advocates of good
government and purity in poll
tics. Governor Brady, will be
nominated and reelected, there
is little doubt that, and he will
be reelected upon his record.
Upon the Church affair, Gov
ernor Brady says
1T is not Church that l am af
ter, but the system he stands for.
1t is the system that not only
myself but the people complain
of. The land board is handling
$40, 100000 worth of property
under Carey act projects which
amounts to two-thirds of the en-
tire assessed valuation of Oul
state and if we do not stop this
thing now and do not give mer
to understand that they must
deal absolutely honestly ane
fairly with the people under the
Carey act projects we in few
wears will have just exactly sucl
conditions as they have had IL
Pittsburg and Philadelphia ant
there is only one way to preven
this, and that is for every state
official and employee to keep ab
solutely clear from participating
!, in any profits Of any lands unde
; any irrigation project or any 9th
: er thing in which the state is IN
terested.
81 have taken this stand iron

and I shall maintain it until tn
G end of my service, and | wish t
