WAS LAW UNTO HIS PATIENTS
Paris Doctor Won STRANGE Bet.
Through Their Obedience to His
Extraordinary Prescriptions.

One of the most successful physi-
clans, at least in his hold on his pa
tients. was David Gruby, who died in
Paris In 1898. He was a HUNGARIAN
by birth, but had lived many years
In the French capital.
His methods Of treatment, while
entirely logical in principle, were
often highly original, not to say fan
tast1c, In the form they took, yet it
was to them in great measure that
ne owed his remarkable vogue among
the most intelligent classes Of Paris.
His influence over his patients was
such, says writer in the Dietetic
and HYGIENE Gazette, that he was
able as the result Of a wager to in
duce some Of the best known Pari-
slams to walk up and down the Ave
nue. des Champs -Elysees during
whole forenoon.
In accordance with his prescription
each Of these patients-lawyers en-
g1neers, writer's, dramatists, gentle
men OF leisure-was to swallow
prune every ten meters while walking
along the avenue and this was car
RED out to the letter and with the ut
most seriousness, to the amazement
OF the fellow practitioners whom
Gruby had invited to witness this
singular therapeutic procedure.
One OF his most distinguished pa
tients, Alexandra Dumas, was said to
have obtained great benefit from
green apple which he was instructed
to eat every day under the Arc-de-
Triomphe de IEtoile after = walk OF
q given length.

Thoughts by the Way.

A Colorado paper says that the
state is unrepresented in the United
State senate-it has a vacancy and
Guggenheim. 1t could have truth
fully said, that there two vacancies.
One absolute, and one simply an
animated vacancy.
Only two are kicking on the
decision of the Supreme court IN
Standard Oil Co. case. John d.
Rockefeller, whose reason is ap-
perant and Senator La Toilette
who arrogates to himself more wis
dom that the court and the country
at large. His attitude is influenced
by his hatred of the president; and
had the decision been favorable to
the company, he would have reared
up and roared like the Bull OF
Bashan. The decision surprised
him.
Wisconsin is the thirty first
state to ratlfy the constitutional
amendment for a federal income
which must ratified by thirty five
of the forty six states before its
becomes a law. Nine states are
vet to act and is more than prob
able that four of the number will

The Supreme court of the United
States in its decision May IS, gave
the Standard Oil Co. what was
coming to it. The case had been
in court for five years and had been
fought by the best legal talent the
company conld secure and now ii

trade under the terms of the Sher.
man antitrust law. There are
other trust, which no doubt, will
read the decision without pleasure.

Uncle Joe Cannon may not be
speaker, but it will be noticed that
when he has something to say, the
members sit up and take notice,
even though they may not agree
with him. And since the bowling

popular than ever with that crowd
of political fakirs, who yell one

0LD FOSSIL IVORY
From Alaska is a Curio, a Souvenir
 And an Ornament

The interest shown by the tourist in the various souvenirs Is greater in regard to the Fossil Ivory than any other specimen of curios which are offered for sale by the numerous stores in the town of Alaska.
 Aside from it's beauty as an orna ment, surrounded as 1t is with the gold nuggets, natural in shape and color, the interest seems to be en- hsDced by the fact that the Ivory is thousands upon thousands of years old.
 There are three kinds of ivory found in Alaska--Mammoth, Mastodon and Walrus.
 The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre- historic animals, (according to our scientists) lived hundred thousand years ago, and today is found in the ground by the natives, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Boring Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, and occas- ionally by miners in shafts and drifts. The fossilized coloring is caused by minerals contained in the earth, where 1t had laid buried for thousands Of years.
 H. D. Kirmse has the finest collec- ton of old Fossil Ivory iewelry in the entire district, and it is we'll worth ones time to inspect the beau tifui stock now on display in this pop ular iewelry emporium.

U. S. Commissioner Conway stated that there seemed to be quite a lot of doubt as to what the requirements were in regard to assessment work on placer and lode claims in Alaska. The following Is taken from the Code and is up to date:
 An act to amend the laws governing labor or improvements upon mining claims in Alaska.
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representative of the Unit ed States of America in Congress as sembled,
 That during the current year and until patent has been issued therefor, at least one hundred dollars worth of labor shall be performed or improve ments made on, or for the benefit or development of, in accordance with existing law, each mining claim in the district of Alaska heretofore or hereafter located. And the locator or owner of such claim or some other person having knowledge Of the facts may also make and file with the said recorder of the district in which the claims shall be situate an affidavit showing the performance of labor or making of improvements to the amount of one hundred dollars as aforesaid and specifying the character and extent Of such work.
 Such affidavit shall set forth the following: First. the name and num- Der Of the mining claims and where situated: second, the number of days work done and the character and val ue of the improvements placed there on; third, the date of the performance of such labor and of making improve ments; fourth, at whose instance the work was done or the improvements made; fifth, the actual amount paid for work and improvement, and by whom paid when the same was not done by the owner. Such affidavit shall be prima faCie evidence of the performance of such work or making of such improvements, but if such affidavit be not filed within the time fixed by this act the burden of the proof shall be upon the claimant to establish the performance of such an nual work and improvements. And upon failure of the locator or owner of any such claim to comply with the provisions of this act, as to perform ance of work and improvements, such claim shall become forfeited and open to location by others as if no loca- ton of the same had ever been made. The affidavits required hereby may be made before any officer suthoriz- ed to administer oaths. and the pro visions of sections fifty-three hundred and ninety-two and fifty-three hundre and ninety-three of the Revised sta tutes are hereby extended to such af- fidavits Said affidayits shall be fil- ed not later than ninety days after the close of the year in which such work is performed
 Sec. 2. That the recorders for the several divisions or districts of Alas. ka shall collect the sum of one dol lar and fifty cents as fee for the filing. recording and indexing said annual proofs of work and improve ments for each claim so recorded.

Wednesday noon as w II. Kincaid,
the local cab driver, was assisting sew
eral ladies, who had come from Oak
esdale to inspect the domestic science
department. of the college, into his
cab to be driven to the college, he
was approached by a middle-aged
man, badly crippled by paralysis.
who asked the driver if he could
ride with him. Mr.. Kincaid con
scented and with assistance from
some bystanders. got the stranger
safely seated in the seat beside him.
Upon being asked by Mr.. Kincaid
where he was going he replied that.
although he was stranger in town,
he had several friends here who had
assisted him at various times in his
business of locating homeseekers on
desirable homesteads in Idaho. He
told stories Of his unlimited wealth
and spoke quite intelligently of the
beauty of the homes near the col
lege. As soon as the cab reached its
destination the ladies left the vehicle
and the man asked to be permitted
to ride in the closed portion, and to
be driven to any point on Main
street. AS soon as he was safely
inside he drew all the curtains and
remained perfectly quiet
When about half way down the
hill Mr.. Kincaid was addressed by a
man who was making a speed record
up the hill, and asked If he had a
man inside the cab. The driver re-
piled in the affirmative and was in
formed that the passenger was a
crazy man whom he, a deputy sheriff,
was taking from Occur d'Alene to
the insane asylum at Orofino. The
deputy had gone to the ~ r. lunch
counter to get cup of coffee
and in the meantime the insane man
had left the train and escaped the
watchful eye of his guard
The insane man was locked up In
the city Jail to await the night train
for Lewiston, while the deputy spent
the afternoon in seeing the sights
about town.
