Friends Of tho Robin.

Thanks to the children Of Virginia it
Is now misdemeanor punishable by
fine Of IS to kill a robin under any
circumstances in that state. Ten thou
sand children petitioned the legislature
to pass this law. and the petition was
presented to the senate by the children
of the schools of Richmond. The bill
passed both houses of the legislature
by large majority. and 1t was signed
by Governor William Hodges Mann.
Heretofore these CHEEKY little birds
have been slaughtered in large num-
bers in Virginia and other southern
states to make robin pie. The children
in these other states are also agitating
for the protection of the robin, and it
is hoped that they will soon follow the
example Of Virginia. Brooklyn Eagle.

CONVENTION POSTPONED
Telephone Men Are Too Busy to Hold
Convention In Summer

The postponenent of the an
nual convention of the North
Dakota Independent Telephone
association which is usually
held in midsummer until Win
ter is one of the best indications
of North Dakota 8 progress and
optimism. G. H. Coar, presid-
ent of the association, states
that the unusual amount of
telephone construction work
under way makes it almost
necessary for every telephone
man to stay at home and build
while the weather is favorable.
This unusual demand for tele-
phone service is an excellent
indication of how the business
men and farmers look upon
our crop prospects.
A great many of the smaller
companies are becoming e affiliat
ed with the association which
represents the entire telephone
interests Of the state. It is ex-
pected that about three hun
dred companies will be repres-
ented at the coming convention
which will be held in Valley
City some time this winter.
One of the primary objects
of the association is to enlight-
en- the public as to the proper
use of the telephone, how to
treat that much abused tele-
phone girl, and also to teach
it's members how best to serve
the public.
How we'll the association has
accomplished it's work is seen
from the fact that although a
comparatively new state, North
Dakota ranks about twentieth
in the number of telephones
per capita and shows an in
crease of 500 per cent during
the five years from 1902 to 1907.
About 81 per cent of this
development concerns rural
lines. .....
The immense amount of
good done by an association of
this kind should be recognized
by all of the smaller and NUT
ual companies.

Shakespeare TRAGEDIES.

Whenever Macbeth" Is put upon the
stage very nearly fourth of it has to
be omitted. for, although 1t is the short
est of the tragedies. 1t would take
fully three hours to read it out loud
without gabbling. "Hamlet" thus read
would take nearly two hours more.
and this seems to bear out the con-
tention Of Swinburne, among others,
that much Of the play, and, indeed,
Of other tragedies, was written by
Shakespeare for the study and not
for the stage. A six or seven hours
performance must have been too much
even for an audience of Elizabeth's
spacious tmes.-London Graphic.

Tempestuous Jupiter.

Careful study of the planet Jupiter
has afforded some rather interesting
figures concerning its rate. or rather
rates, of rotation. These do not affect
the round numbers in which the equa-
torial velocity Of Jupiter's rotation is
usually stated-viz. about 2S,OOO miles
per hour. But they furnish additional
proof that the motions visible on the
great planets surface are not uniform
from year to year. For about twelve
years the equatorial region appears to
have experienced an acceleration Of
velocity. Relatively TO the surface
some thirty degrees north or south
Jupiter's equator rushes ahead with
hurricane speed, between 200 and 300
miles an hour.-Cincinnati Commercial

Stinoina Trees.

In the southern part of Formosa
grows a tree about ten feet In height
having long leaves that possess the
property Of the nettle and produce a
maddening irritation Of the skin. The
natives call it ''chiaojenkou." meaning
man biting dog" Scientists who have
made u study of the tree have renam-
ed it the wiper tree.''
There is another species Of stnging
tree in Australia that attains a height
Of fifteen feet. The effect of it's touch
appears to be even more maddening
to- men and animals. Horses stung by
it have to be shot. and dogs affected
by the poison of the leaves run about
whining and biting themselves.

the enforcing of the new tax law
we're taken by the appointment
~ three tax commissioners for
the supervision of the assessment
work the state over. The new
anpointees are Axel p. Ramstedt
II Orofino, Jno. D. Robertson of
Weiser and James A. Purtell of
Mountain Home. The three COM
mssioners will be called to
Boise to meet with the board
March Is when the territory to
be covered by each commissioner
and details of his duties will be
outlined and determined.
1t is already announced by the
members of the board that Com
missioner Ramstedt will preside
over all counties north. The re-
naming portion of Idaho will
be divided as nearly equal as
possible for fields of operation
for Commissioners Robertson and
Purtell. Both of these gentlemen
we're employed in a somewhat
similar capacity by the board
last year and are in a measure
acquainted with the duties en-
tailed. All three commissioners
have notified the board that they
will accept the appointment.
In defining the duties of the
new commissioners, the board at
arecent meeting adopted plan
which favors the segregation of
the task into three separate di-
visions, as follows:
To secure the necessary infor-
nation for the board Of equaliza-
ton in its work of equalizing
property, to observe the working
Of the present revenue law and
to report to the state board any
failure on the part of county Of
ficers.
The data referred to embraces
the actual market value of all
classes OF property in the market
where located. The board calls
attention to the fact that the mar
ket value or cash value is al
ways a matter of opinion largely
and must vary as the conditions
vary.
