IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

Abner stood upon one foot
back of the Judges barn, and
was glad that the night was
dark and that the darkness
matched his complexion almost
to a shade.
Up in the big house the
lights had gone out, but Alb
ner's present intentions and ax-
listing frame of mind made his
ears deceive him.
Certainly he had heard some
thing. The chicken houses Ne.~
not locked. He knew that he
cause everybody in the ne;gh
borhood knew the Judge de-
pended on Don and Major to
rrotect. the fowls.
Don and Major, though. he
happened to know, had follow
ed Bill Loomis to town, and
logically wouldn't be back be-
fore milking time.
Abner listened fearfuly, with
the sneaking nineteen-year-olf
soul aquiver with fear. The.
he cautiously stepped softly lc-
ward the chicken houses.
With his hand on the latch
he listened again. Then he
slipped within.
Almost Immediately from tbs
stable arose a most unholy noise
a trumpet blast that shattered
the stiffness as a hammer shat
ters a pane of glass.
"Er-honk; er-honk! Er-hon -nr
-gkw
1t was merely a mule, but K
Abner it seemed something be
tween a demon and a locomo
tive. He butted about in The
chicken house and knocked down
a whole roost. The noise be
came deafening.

IHE SALOON INJUNCTION.

At this time the saloon question
is undetermined. The matter was
threshed out before Judge Pope,
in chambers, Wednesday, the ants
represented by District Atty. Full
len, p. j. Williamson as prosecut-
ing witness, and the pros. repre-
scented by Atty. Harold Hurd, of
the U. S. Land Office, with Asses
sor Guy Herbert to testify as to
the number of inhabitants of the
town. The outcome depends upon
the question Of whether a claim
holder can be citizen or inhabit
ant of the town. If they canEot
Kenna has not a hundred inhal it
ants. and never has lad; in fact it
would hurry us to scare up a
Bakers Dozen. On the other
hand if people who eat, sleep, and
live in town are inhabitants we
have generally been above the 100
mark. Judge Pope has taken the
matter under confederation and
will reader a decision when he has
satisfied his mind upon the subject
whit b may require several days, as
as he will undoubtedly exhaust the
res curse of authorities before pass
ing upon the case. He deems the
importance of the case too great
to warrant hasty decision.
So at this time we ar in much
doubt as to VIII Their the town is to

whether the season in this part of
N. NJ. is to be wet or dry. Ever

KENNA SALOON Csc.

James Brogden, the Kenna
saloon man is down in the in
terest of his business there. AS
was told in the Register ri-
bune some time ago, a question
has arisen in Kenna over the
legality of the petition, as ii
was claimed that there is not
at the present time 100 resi-
dents in the city. The matter
was referred to Hon. F. w.
Clancy, Acknowledgement of the
territory, and he instructed that
the case be brought up in cour5
here. 1t will be brought no in
the judges chambers tomorrow.
and Mr.. Brogden is ready t
have his part of the matter
threshed out. For several years
young Brogden lived in this city
and is one Of the most honor
able men for that kind of bust
ness that has ever been in this
part Of the territory. He now
claims that the only point tc

gay and fine, diamonds flashed, pale
fabrics shimmered, and everywhere,

dimpled. snowy shoulders shining like
satin above decollete bodices of Paris

These decollete bodices impressed

LEG A MASS OF HUMoR

About seven years ago small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
Just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
80 that I began to scratch 1t and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work. on the
street or IN the presence of company,
1 would have to scratch 1t until had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to'myself and wife is simply indescrib-
able on paper and one has to expe-
rience 1t to know what 1t is.
II tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but might as well have thrown
my money down sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again Just
as bad If not worse. l had given up
hope Of ever being cured when was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while I began to see change, and
after taking dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day l was born. Now after lapse of
six months with no signs of recur-
renee feel perfectly safe in extend

good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend

NO ANTAGONIST
TO HARbOR BILL
MANY YEARS SINCE A SIMILAR
BILL HAD SUCH A CLEAR PATH
PRESENT ONE.
Special to the journal.


Washington, Feb. est has been
many years since a river and harbor
bill has had as clear a pathway to
it's final passage as the bill which
the house of representatives adopt
ed without material change early last
week.
Remarkable as was the unanimity
that such a bill ought to receive
early consideration it was even more
remarkable that distinguished mem
bers of congress took advantage OF
the occasion to state their position to-
ward the interior waterways of the
United States and the pressing needs
for a comprehensive policy looking
to their improvement.
In this group of leaders in the low
er branch of congress who declared
themselves satisfied with the general
character of the bill and gave their
endorsement to annual appropriations
for rivers, harbors and canals, Speak
er Cannon easily leads all the rest.
Not Even Cannon.
Without a suspicion of antagonism
to the bill, which Chairman AlQxand-
-er stated in his opening re&arks,
while somewhat singular in character
but not so much so in methods as in
policy, Speaker Cannon gave evi-
dences of considerable change of
heart. Whether that change of heart
is due to the trip which the speaker
made with President Taft, governors
of states and hundred or more men,
bers of congress down the MISSISSIPPI
pi from st. Louis to New Orleans or
whether there has been a change
of sentiment in the district which Mr.
Cannon represents toward the domes-
tic waterways of the country is a
question which only Uncle Joe" can
answer. But his complete surrender
to the necessities of making the riv-
ers work was one of the Illuminating
features of a discussion which show
ed the temper of congress as nothing
else has done in a decade.
Mr.. Cannon gave evidence of having
a first-hand knowledge of existing con-
ditions when he said in his speech
during the consideration of the bill
''if We are to depend upon trans
portation by rail alone we will have to
multiply the railway mileage by two,
by three, by four.
1--WE have 90,O00,000 of people in
this country now. When fully popu,
