the magnetic healer Of Nezperce,
formerly of Lewiston, and he said
he would help me. if not cure me.
So took treatment of him. One
doctor had told me my ailment was
gall stones another told me It was
appendicitis. One said one thing
and another somkthing else. but
Mr.. Hagel said it s not what ails
you, it is to get rid of what ais you,
and went to work. I got relief at
once and am now 1 well man. +

A Clever Thief.

This is how the presence Of mind
and audacity Of a Chicago thief
saved him from being locked up: A
policeman who recognized him and
knew he was wanted" put him un-
der arrest, with the words, you
are wanted at headquarters" eyes,
I know replied the thief quickly.
'T was arrested last night and was
baiIed out this morning. You are
too slow" at does look that way"
said the crestfallen policeman as he
told the thief he could 60, Of which
permission the thief lost no time in
availing himself. Later, to his
chagrin, the policeman found that
the thief had not been previously
arrested.

Men speak Of dreaming as if It
we're q phenomenon Of night and

All results achieved BY Us are self
promised, and all self promises are
made in dreams awake. Dreaming
is not the relief Of labor, the wine
that sustains US in act. We learn
to love labor, not for itself, but for
the opportunity It furnishes Us for

the terminus Of the Santa Fe In the
west. Its signifies California be-
cause of the missions of that section
Of the country. H. A. Tice, superin-
tendent Of the Santa Fe at Dodge
City, who has made a study Of the
subject, says:
"The Mission fathers of the west
ern coast used in their early church
es cross peculiar in design, very
ing from the cross of the parent
church in that the upright and lon
gitudinal sections were both of the
same length, and this cross became
known as the Mission Cross.
1.-THE reason, however, for their
adoption Of this peculiar cross is not
generally known. The tradition is
that when the Mission fathers came
up from lower Old Mexico to north
ern Mexico, and what is now Cali
f0rnia, they found that the natives
who were Indians and decendents Of
the Aztecs, the Toltecs, the Chica-
mecs, or some other Of the early
tribes, already possessed symbol
which they worshipped, this being a
cross within a circle.
"The Indians impaired to the Mis-
sion fathers the information that
this cross which they worshipped
had been worshiped by their ances-
tors for thousands Of years and that
the cross itself signified the earth,
and the circle the sun.
"They knew nothing of any re-
ligion other than their own, and the
things which appealed to them were
the sun, which gave them its light,
and the earth, which gave them its
substance; consequently they were
pagans, worshiping the sun and the
earth, and the circle with the cross
within it was the symbol which they
worshiped.
"The tribes on the western coast,

including the Indians who went into
Old Mexico and further down into
what is now Central and South
America, have traditions to the eff
feet that their ancestors came from
the far north, and at one time crcss-
ed the sea, probably what is Behrirg
Strait. This possibly was q few
thousand years ago, for we find
much along the western coast Of
America, through all of Old Mexico
Central America, and In South Amer
lea, that is prehistoric.
ut was comparatively an easy
matter for the Mission fathers to
induce the natives whom they found
in northern Mexico and in that coun-
try which is now California to &C
cept the new religion, and as its SYM
Dol the circle enclosing the cross that
has been the object of their wor-
ship and that of their ancestors.
Accordingly the Mission fathers
adopted the pagan cross, and this
cross became the Mission Cross of
California.
"The Santa Fe symbol according
ly is pagan in origin, and the cross
representing the four corners Of the
earth symbolizes the possibilities of
our great railroad. Our lines already
run north, south, east and west, and
If we continue to grow, as we have
within the last few years, while we
may not reach the four corners OF
the earth, we may reach the ex--
treme north, south, east and west
Of the United States; we are build
