They have been joking Assistant
Treasurer James A. Matthews of the
Guardian bank, on his resemblance to
President Taft, and Mr.. Mathews has
steadily refused to be annoyed there
by. So the jokers subsidized and the
joke died a natural death.
Until the other night, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathews dined together with
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Harmon and their
little daughter. when the Taft resem-

Miss Harmon, Mr.. Mathews asked
whether she. too, thought he looked

Dorothy studied long and earnestly.
Then she answered.

Hot Springs.-A cloudburst a
Prindle, a small station on the Bur-
lington road, about IL miles east OF
Hot Springs, swelled the tributaries
of Fall river into the proportion of
mountain torrents and the accumula-
lions Of waters pouring into Fall river
raised that stream until it OVERLOOKED
its banks.
One fatality occurred. James Kerr,
an old soldier, who had lived at the
state soldiers home with his wife in
one of the cottages there. had been out
and was driving into town when the
storm was at its height. He had
reached the county bridge at the juno
ton of the hot and cold branches of
Fall river, and not noticing that the
high water had weakened it. drove
upon it with his horse and buggy. The
structure gave way just as Kerr and
his horse and buggy had reached the
center. People who witnessed the &C.
cident attempted to rescue the unfOr-
tunate man, but the mad rush of water
soon hurried him to his death. His
body was recovered just above the
city. Kerr was a man about 65 years
of age and considered one of the well
| to do men of the county.
The storm did considerable damage
to a number of the bridges on the line
of the Burlington and to its right OF
way. So badly was its track damaged
that the train from this city to the
east was abandoned.

The North Of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
,,sibly upon his forehead and in his

reveals itself In the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
old in the still, small voice. and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone hetrays the flowing Of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

SPOKANE, Wash, May S.-While
driving a passenger train at 50-mile
an hour clip over the Northern Pact
fic from Ellensburg, Wash, to Spo-
kane. the other night, j. NJ. Callahan,
Locomotive engineer, captured a
full grown Chinese pheasant, which
flew into the open cab and pumped
against me back of his head. Gala
man was in the act of tying his shoe
when the gaudy bird, bewildered by
the light in the cab from the stoke
hole landed on him and rolled to the
floor The bird was not injured and
Callahan brought it to Spokane.
Pheasants have been protected In the
state Of Washington for several years
and they are multiplying rapidly, es-
pecially in the eastern and central
parts of the commonwealth. The
state law prohibits killing the birds,
but there is nothing in the code to
prevent Callahan from making a pet
of the one he captured. He has given
the pheasant a sunny corner in his
room at a local hotel and has arrang
ed with the maid to feed and water
it during his absence from the city.
