RAILROAD MAN GOES TO HEAR
THE ShUBERTS

An old time railroad man who was
out to hear the Schubert concert last
Friday night was captivated by the
artists and in telling another one
about the performance ON the violin
said:
"That fellow with the fiddle came
slowly out of the Pocatello round
house and dropped down over the end
of the repair track switch working as
little steam as possible, In minute
the Con. gave him the signal to get
out of town. He pulled her about
half open and the prettiest lot OF
barking you ever heard. He tried the
air about a mile and she was perfec-
ton. He then hiked her back a couple
of notches and cleared out the aylln'
Ter cocks. The frost on the rail made
her slip a few times but shucks, In
the next minute the telegraph poles
looked like a picket fence. He came
around down through Mimdoka al
seventy miles an hour whistling al
every curve and calling every block

INFORMATION ON
TREES FOR IDAHO

University OF Idaho, MOSCOW, fep. ]
15.-The forestry department of the
University recommends the following
trees for various planting purposes
in Idaho: black locust, Norway
maple, silver maple, black walnut,
box elder white ash. red oak, pur-
pie and American willow cuttings,
and Austrian pine. -Four years ago
the for estry department began an
experiment to determine what trees
are best suited to growing in Idaho
and the species just named have
been found satisfactory. About D.
600 900 trees and seedlings represent
ing $50 species have been set out
at the University. Thirty thousand
young trees are now ready for dis
tribution to residents of Idaho at a
nominal price, intended to cover the
cost of raising.
The black locust Is hard wood,
valuable for shade, for posts, fuel,
or any purpose where strong wood Is
needed. This tree may be planted
with success in almost any part OF
the state below an elevation Of 1000
feet. 1t will grow without irrigation
where there is fifteen inches Of rain

turned off about the first of August
so as to permit the wood to. harden
up before hard freezes come on. The
black locust may be grown in thick
cts for windbreaks, poles or posts
or spaced for shade trees.
The Norway maple Is handsome

monkeys We're playing around in a
tree In the jungle, jumping from
branch to branch and chattering away
for dear life. Oh, they were having
such fun. Suddenly they heard a
whirring, kissing noise beneath them.
Every last monkey in the tree stopped
stock still and stood trembling all over.
For they we'll knew what that dread
sound meant. It was Mr.. Snake!

gobbled up young monkeys at one

Being Polite

~ ANY times had little Halls
III mother urged upon him the
I'll necessity of being polite to-
ward everyone. And she had par
ticularly impressed upon him the fact
that one of the very incest ways of
being polite Is to offer others a share
in anything you happen to be enjoy
ing. For instance. If he were eating
candy. he should promptly extend the
bag to others present and ask them to
have a piece.
Now. one day. two ladies' came to
call and little Hal went in to talk with
them until Mamma. who was in the
midst of baking nice. rich cake in
the kitchen, could tidy up a bit. Hal
was quite eager to show the visitors
that his Mamma had taught him how
to be polite and courteous.
He bowed gravely to them, waited
until they had seated themselves be-
fore he climbed up on chair and
said, Yes. ma'am," and mo, ma am, +"
instead of just Yes" and NO
Finally, as the crowning stroke of
his demonstration, he reached under
the chair where, several days before,
he had deposited big wad of chew
ing gum TO be used in just such an
emergency as this. and asked with the
most inviting of smiles:
Wont you ladies please have some
Of my chewing gum?'

What Put the Curl In Monkeys Tails

Mr.. Snakes head-but he couldn't
quite reach up to the branch. That
did not worry him. however, for he
well knew that, II lie kept on charm
ing the monkeys, he'd get his meal.
And that was precisely what hap
pened, Donald. All of a sudden, the
poor little monk gave one despairing
chatter, lost his hold on the branch
and dropped off-straight into the
wide, gaping mouth of Mr.. Snake,
red and terrible with its poisonous
fangs darting in and out faster than
lightning flashes in the sky.
Presently another monkey lost his
hold and fell, only to be caught in
the wide, hungry jaws below. And
then. one by one, the rest of them fell
victims to tho charming OF Mr.. Snake.
That Is, all but three, and they es-
capped.
How? Well, you see, when all the
monkeys were stopped dead in their
tracks by that first terribly kissing.
whirring sound, these three little
monks happened to be hanging to a
branch by their t-ils pulling pieces OF
bark off the branch below and pelting
| each other with them.

Snake drew nearer and nearer with his
terrible charming these three little

rades had blue ones
Each man contributed what little
money he had and they persuaded an
amiable guard to purchase for them
some red and white wooden goods. on
the pretext that they wanted to make
them up into shirts. And out of this
material. they secretly fashioned a
flag, crude in design and workmanship
but still the Flag
They estimated as well as they
could the door of the loft of the
prison and the probable height to
which the patrolling guard might
raise his eyes Then, on the evening
before the Fourth, they climbed up
to the rafters and stretched their
crude flag in the apex of the loft.
On the following day, they assem-
bled in the center of the huge room
directly beneath the nag and sang
patriotic songs. The guards were at
loss to account for the proceedings
but failed to espy the flag hanging
above the little group. All during tho
day the prisoners looked at it fondly
and rejoiced in its Inspiring colors.
During the night, they quietly
climbed up among the rafters agair
and took it down. Then, they cut 1t
into strips-one for each man. From
then on until each mans release, he
wore his strip wrapped around his
body so that the guards could not see
, it. And as each prisoner was ex-
changed or set free he carried his
strip of the banner out with him.
Tim Regan had wisely taken the
trouble to ascertain the home address
of every man in the party. And after
the war was over, he wrote to them.
or, if a man had died, to his surviving
relatives, asking that the strips be re-
turned to him. 1t took him years to
accomplish it, but finally he had every
bit of the flag back again. Then he
sewed them all together, creating anew
the flag he had first made back in
Libby Prison. Then he stood at salute
before with, no doubt. the tears
streaming down his face.
He has long since passed to the
Great Beyond. But today the flag Is
securely guarded from dust and decay
in glass case at the Stephenson Post.
