He possessed the appetite of the
physical health, and he ate heartily,
his eyes wandering out of the open
window down the long, dismal street
A drunken man lay in front of the
Red Light" saloon sleeping undts-
turbed; two cur dogs were snarling at
each other just beyond over bone;
a movers wagon was slowly coming
in across the open through a cloud of
yellow dust. That was all within the
radius of vision. For the first time in
years the East called him-the old
life of cleanliness and responsibility.
He swore to himself as he tossed the
Chinaman pay for his breakfast, and
strobe out onto the steps. Two men
were coming up the street together
from the opposite direction-one lean,
dark-skinned, with black goatee, the
other heavily set with closely trim
med gray beard. Keith knew the lat
ter, and waited, leaning against the
door, one hand on his hip.
"Hullo, Bob" he said genially;
they must have routed you out pref
ty early today"
They shore did, Jack" was the re-
spouse. He came up the steps some
what heavily, his companion stopping
below THE boys raise hell all night,
an then come ter me ter straighten

git in?"
"An hour ago; had to wake the
'chink' up to get any chuck. Town
looks dead"
"Tain't over lively at this time O.
day." permitting his blue eyes to wan
der up the silent street, but instantly
bringing them back to Keiths face,
'but reckon it'll wake up later on"
He stood squarely on both feet, and
one hand rested on the butt Of re-
volver Keith noticed this, wonder
ing vaguely.
II reckon yer know, Jack, as how
ginerally git what ! goes after" said
the slow, drawing voice, IAN that

Get me?" Keith's voice and face
expressed establishment. but not q
muscle of his body moved. What do
you mean, Bob-are you fellows after
me?"
Sure thing; got the warrant here"
and he tapped the breast of his shirt
with his left hand.
The color mounted into the cheeks
of the other, his lips grew set and
white, and his gray eyes darkened.
Let it all out, Marshal" he said
sternly, you've got me roped and
tied. Now what's the charger"
Neither man moved. but the one be-
one hand thrust out of sight beneath
the tail of his long coat.
Make him throw up his hands,
Bob" he said sharply.
"Oh, 1 reckon thar amt goin' ter
be no trouble" returned the marshal
genially, yet with no relaxation of at
tention. Keith knows me, an ex-
poets a fair deal Still, maybe I bet
ter ask yer TO unhitch yer belt, Jack"
A moment Keith seemed to hesitate,
plainly puzzled by the situation and
endeavoring to see some way of es-
cape; then his lips smiled, and he
silently unlocked the belt, handing it
over.
Sure, know you're square, Hicks"
he said, coolly "And now I've unlim-
bered. kindly inform me what this is
all about"

THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Their History Rich In Events of Con-
sequence to the Nation.

The south is especially rich in points
writer in Leslie's Weekly. At the out
set Virginia was the most populous as
well as the most powerful of all the
states. AS "the mother of presidents"
she practically gave the law to the
country from the accession of Wash
ington in 1889 to the retirement Of
Monroe in 1925, except during the four
years Of John Adams in the presidency.
In the next third of a century, with
its Hayne, Calhoun, McDuffie and 9TH
er statesmen of large influence, South
Carolina was the center Of events in
the nation. Texas, with it's boundary
dispute with Mexico, precipitated the
war between the latter and the United
States, in which by conquest and pur-
chase we obtained Arizona, New Mex
leo, Utah, Nevada, California and parts
of Colorado and Wyoming. The neces-
sity for the control Of the mouth of
the Mississippi melted the negotiation
with France which resulted in the an
nexation of the province Of Louisiana,
by which the area of the United States
was doubled and all subsequent acces-
sions of territory were rendered in
evitable Florida saw the earliest
white settlements which were planted
anywhere in the present United States.
In the Wautauga colony in Tennessee
self government made it's advent west
of the Alleghanies.

Riqht Handed Parrots.

Past the parrot cages walked the
bird fancier, poking an inquisitive
finger at the birds.
"T am looking for right handed
parrot, he said, but there doesn't seem
to be one in this lot. Most parrots are
left handed. Training, not nature.
made them so.
"Their owners are right handed and
when putting out finger for the bird
to stand on it is most convenient for
him to step up with the left foot. In
a little while that left handed action
becomes second nature and he doesn't
know how to use his right foot first.
THE only right handed parrots have
belonged to left handed persons. In
their training the order was reversed.
The left finger was extended for a
perch and the bird naturally grasped
it with his right foot."-New York Sun.

A FRENCH CALENDAR.
Tho One That Was Adopted During
the Revolution.

the Revolution.
In the French revolution the ma
tional convention adopted new cal
endar containing twelve months of
thirty days each. The five days in the
year thus left were disposed of by
making them festivals" The months
were named not January, February,
etc, but Vendemaire, Brumaire, Fri
marie, Nivose, Pluviose, Ventose, Ger
minal, Floreal, Prairial. Messidor,
Thermidor and Fructidor.
Each of these names had a meaning.
Instead Of naming a month meaning
lessly after a heather god, as we name
January after Janus and March after
Mars, the names represented the spe-
cial characteristics of the month.
Fructidor, for instance, which includes
part of what we call September, means
"the fruity month";" Germinal, the first
of the spring months running from the
last of March to the middle of April,
means "the month of buds" and Flo
real, which follows it, the ''1owery" or
"flowerap month.
Thermidor, which means the "hot
MONTH" Is the month which under the
republican calendar included part of
July and part Of August. The political
significance of the word arises from
the fact that the revolution which
everthrew Robespierre and ended the
reign of terror occurred on the 9th
of the month of Thermidor, or, as we
should say, July 81. 1904. 1t was call
ed "the revolution of Thermidor," as
we speak of 'the September massa-
cres," and the revolutionists were nick
named "Thermidorians." The inventor
of the calendar was Romme.-New

The Northwestern United Doctors
duly organized and licensed by the state
for the purpose of treating diseases, de-
formities and all durable ailments with
out surgical operation. All that is
asked in return for these valuable SER

the important uses and advantages of
clothes, occupation, etc. Many cases
of deafness are frequently cured in
sixty days. Loss of sight, blindness,
cataract, granulated fids and old weak,
watery, sore eyes treated after fashion
that knows no fail. In long standing,
deep seated, chronic diseases of men
and women, and slow growths and un-
developed children's diseases, treat
ment that is absolutely certain in it's
effects can be had and depended upon.
Thousands of patients throughout the
Northwest attest the ability of the

Strange
Experience

Lily Bray, Hawaiian woman. is in
the hospital suffering from a cut on
the head and a bruised body, to say
nothing of a sprained arm.
The strangest part of the matter is
that the fair Lillian doesn't know how
she came by these injuries
All she knows is that she woke up
this morning in Iwilei' makai of the
rice mill, and found her head bleed
ing and her body stiff and sore. AT
first she pinched herself to see if she
was dreaming and on realizing that
she was really awake, got in toucn
with a police officer and asked him to
please find out who had treated her
so shabbily.
The officer rang for the wagon
and the woman was taken to the hos.
pital.
She admits that she was on a toot
yesterday and that last night she was
pretty well lit up She probably
walked in her sleep and missed the
way.
