Double His Assessment.

Would you" inquires the Green. wood Journal, give the deaf man a verdict, If you were on the jury. who is suing for damages because he al- leges that he Is paying for preaching he can't hear?"
 Personally we'd be inclined to rem der a verdict after the fashion of the Immortal Paddy Divver As the story goes. a loyal henchman of the clan, named Danny. was arrested for an en- thusiastic and successful assault upon an innocent third party. It was just before election, and Danny sent for his leader. The leader heard Danny's story and went to see Paddy Divver.
 Judge" he said, q wish yos'd be light on Danny. He's a good fellow. and can help us a lot in the election"
 "AIl rightt" said Paddy, "Ill give him thirty days,"
 But that will keep him in jail over the electioni" the leader protested.

KIND DEED IS NEVER LOST
Though Perhaps Not immediately, Its Good Results Are Certain to
 Be Recorded.

Sometimes we become restless and impatient because we do not imme- diately see the result or cur gen erosity. We seem to think that what ever aid we are abls to give should work miracles before our eyes, and we are not content to believe that somewhere and somehow somebody's burden has been frightened beckpse Of our faith and generosity.
 Sooner or later, often when we least expect 1t, our deeds Of kindness come back to US a thousandfold. They may not be repaid in substantial con, they may not even bear the stamp of OUT generosity, but they pour their bless ings into our lives with rich interest and help us to anderstsnd The read justment of our natures. It is fine thing to be in poctt.en to give freely and generously of dsoss riches which, after all, are only ours during our stewardship. but it is JuA as gratify- ing and just as enrobling to giTe pro portionately of the more modest means which some of us command. We are not judged by what we give SO much as by the manner in which we give it. and happy. indeed. is he who is not afraid to give generCusIy even of his small means. Our chari- ties may not sound around tbs world, but they are heard by some poor suf- ferer close at hand, and what greater blessing and what richer recompense can we ask?

FOOD VALUE OF BUTTERMILK
According to Bulletin of Department of Agriculture IL Is Extremely
 High.

An ordinary glass of buttermilk con- tains about as much nutriment as two ounces of bread, good sized potato or a half pint of oysters. says a re- cent bulletin of the United States de- pertinent of agriculture. 1t thus con tains about the same food constituents as skim milk, but it has an added hy- gienic value because the protein Is more easily digested than the protein in skim milk, and therefore is cften prescribed by physicians for children and inEalids. especially those suffering from intestinal trouble.
 Protein, being the host costly or food ingredients, is the one most like. iy to be lacking in inexpensive meals, and this is the nutrient which both skim milk and buttermiIk supply in cheap and useful form, and when talk en with bread or used in cooking they form a very nutritious addition to the diet. Two and one-half quarts or skim milk or buttermilk contains about the same amount of protein as one pound of round steak, and costs about one-quarter as much. Two quarts of milk has a greater nutrient value than one quart of oysters. The nutriment in the form Of oysters would cost 30 to 50 cents, while the sEim milk or butte-milk would have value on the farm Of from two to four cents.

Jupiter Moons

One of the greatest discoveries of Science is due to observation os the sclipses of Jupiter's moons. It was found that when the earth was "a the part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter these eclipses occurred -6 minutes earlier than when it was in the fur. shermost part; whereas by all rulas of astronomy they should have co. cured at the same minute each time~ lt was deduced from this that light was not instantaneous, and conse- puently took 16 minutes to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit. a distance of about 200.000.000 miles, thus giving to light a velocity of 1s6.- poo miles a second. which was ac- puretely shown later by other expert neES1

LIGHTNING FLASH PLAYS TATTOO ON
 ELECTRIC BULBS
Copper Queen Hotel Scene of Merry Franks as Elec- tricity Jumps from Fix
 trre to Fixture

Lightning played some merry pranks in and about the Coppe Q Queen hotel late Tuesday night and as a result there were busy times for electricians yesterday repairing the damage of the storm. since havoc had beer played with lighting arrange ments of the hostelry. From the time the electric fluid paid it's trans itory visit until noon yesterday fully half of the lights were out Of com mission. By the latter time repairs had been practically completed
 shortly before l1:30 Tuesday night and during the electric storm there came a brilliant fash and a sharp crash. The lightning seemed 10 come right into the building and to jump from noint to point. IL leaped from electric fixture and electric. wire to nearby fixtures and wires and the first crash was followed by a pop ping of electric bulbs as lamp after lamn burned out that was not unlike a pistol fusilade. Then the most oi the lower part of the hotel was in darkness while upstairs there had been some, but fewer lamps were burned out.
 An investigation Of the damage oc- casioned bv the storm when made yesterday showed that nearly all or the lights on the first floor had been put out of commission. Globes had been broken, fuses burned out and some damage had been done to the wires. Upstairs the damage was Slight being confined to a few brok' en bulbs while the wiring was re- ported to be uninjured.

NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS
 ARE HOPEFUL

BISMARCK. N. D, July 24:-The democrats have strong hopes of car rying North Dakota in the presi- dential election next November Tor the first time in the. history of the state. The party leaders rounded mp here today to reorganize the state committee and take other steps pre- liminaFy to starting upon a vigorous campaign in behalf of the national and state tickets.
 North Dakota is peculiarly situat' ed so far as the national situation IS concerned. On the republican side It is strongly progressive. hut the lean ing of the progressive republicans all along has been towards La Toilette rather than Roosevelt. In the pri- maries last March the state was eas- lily carried by the Wisconsin senator against both Taft and Roosevelt.
 Many of the progressives are ln- clined to look upon Roosevelt as hay ing been responsible for the defeat or elimination from the presidential race of La Toilette. Democratic influences are being employed to foster the feel ink of resentment against Roosevelt III tue uOft NAdl d BsAl NA Slif bANeaSS sive republican vote may be turned to Wilson. Should this move meet with any large amount of success it is reasonable to expect a democratic victory in North Dakota next fall.
 The democrats themselves are pre- pairing to go into the campaign with more confidence than they have ever displayed before. Steps are being taken to smooth out all of the fac tional differences within their ranks and to present a solid front. They believe they may be able to elect their state ticket and Win at least one congressional seat in the event of the state going democratic in the presidential contest.

The Snake s.
 Habit

If Hurley Mathers had not had an attractive personality he never would have lasted as a figure in society, be- cause the most amiable of hostesses might be pardoned for disapproving a caller who insisted on skinning snakes on her front porch and demanding ad- miration for their lines and colors.
 The year he spent the summer at Wigwam lake is still recalled solemnly as a landmark by the cottagers. All the children were going around drag ging snakes after them because Fur ley had taught them how to catch and hold the creeping things safely, and more mothers went into mysteries that year than had in the century preceding.
 The worst of it was that Mathers was a person of scientific attachments and had perfectly valid excuse for studying snakes. Nobody could say be did 1t to be unique or troublesome.
 If you feebly said that you weren't crazy about snakes Mathers simply drew a long breath, fixed you with a plying stern glance and lectured to you on your sins. When he had fln- ished you were in such a fiabby state that you would have let a snake perch on your forefinger.
 Mathers met Clara Baysworth out west when her party and Ris combined for a camping trip through a noted canyon. and the acquaintance pro- gressed at the rate of ten miles a min ute until the fatal moment when the stage coach driver silently pointed with his whip to the side of the sun baked road. There, lazily stretched out, lay a rattlesnake. Mathers says 1t was mere baby snake of a foot and half or so, but if you had in- quired of the others any of them would have told you it was horrible monster six feet long. with cerise eyes and a foaming mouth.
 Before any one realized what he was doing. Mathers. with a gurgle of pleasure, had slipped to the ground, swept the snake intosa heap with his straw hat, deftly grabbed 1t around i it's neck with three fingers and held 1 1t up to be admired Persons who do the unusual are instantly pronounced crazy by everybody else. SO the con vicition instantly settled upon the stageload of travellers that any man who would deliberately pick up a rat ter must be insane. Clara Baysworth got her voice first as Mathers, still holding his prize, started to climb back to his seat by her side.
 Co awayi" she got out in Q strangled voice. If you come any nearer I'll stick hatpins into youi"
 The distracted coachload echoed her cries. Fathers claspsd their sons to them and giared at Mathers, women | shrunk into corners and fixed him with imploring eyes. Clara drowned at him. pale and desperate.
 'Why-" Mathers began soothingly, and put one foot upon the hub of the i wheel. But a series Q shrieks arose from his victims.
 IT hate youi" Clara Baysworth told him wildly.
 He's a perfect beauty" Mathers announced firmly, "and I want him for q specimen" Then he shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, we'll" he said. q suppose I can strsngle the little beg. garls
 His fingers frightened their clasp around the scaly neck and presently l the rattler hung limp. Putting him in . convenient box and slowing the box

There Is more Cafarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together,< and until the last few years was supposed to be incurablc.

In his pocket, Mathers Temounted the coach, but the atmosphere was strained.
 For twenty miles he tried to reform Clara Baysworth. He told her frank ly that he was pained and displeased by her foolish prejudice. but even that lid not move her. Shs regarded him with alien eyes.
 'Ill listen to you" she said, when you stop being so perfectly foolishl And if you ask me again to marry you while you are carrying that thing around with you I-I'll scream!"
 Somebody who was brave opened the box the next morning to see the dead snake and the camp nearly broke up as the rattler wInked one eye and waved his tail at the mortified med Her, having survived his choking, as Mathers had known he would. Math- srs psled before Clara Baysworth's accusing eye
 You certainly have nerve" she told him, Ito ask a girl to endure things like this the rest of her ltfei don't care whether 1t is science or pot! You might experiment with guinea pigs or ducks!"
 'Ill chloroform 'em!" Mathers of tered. miserably.
 You will not!" Clara told him. They might have nine lives like cat and come to life again, and I can- not stand snakes for parlor compan- Ions, dead or sleeping! It's between me and your squirming friends, Tur- IeyI"
 For a long minute Mathers looked at her. Then picking up the rattler he walked to the edge of the cliff and hurled him far out.
 "There!" he said simply as he re- turned and spread out his empty hands.
 "Do-do you suppose 1t h-h-hurt him wh-wh-when he landed where you threw him?" Clara wept
 Then for the first time Mathers laughed. "Oh. you consistent wom- sn!" he said. 'T wouldn't have had so much time to study snakes anyhow. since I've got you to figure out the rest of my daysl"
