Transmisslblrity Of Genius.

The sale OF relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May 1, again calls attention to
the fact hat the child of a union
SO richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
~traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has a way OF
sometimes consuming its possessor
but also Of consuming itself, a far
as the immediate offspring r con
cerned. At any rate, the evidence as
to its transmissibility Is still lacking,
although, OF course, there are plenty
of facts to justify a belief as to the
transmissibility OF special talents.

HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks Of Postum.

We usually consider our best friends
those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real

Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs OF
the body, if its use is persisted In.

could afford to build a cottage house

be impossible for them to raise the
money for a house costing $4,000. 1t

a cellar under the house afterwards,

White Butte Loses Case.

Pierre.-The supreme court in an
opinion by Smith decreed that the
town of White Butte on the Puget
Sound" line of road will have to get
along without a station on that rail-
way. The town is unfortunately sit.
uated as it is on a loop of the road
which crosses into South Dakota a
few rods after running a short dis.
lance in North Dakota and again
leaves the south state a short dis
lance west of White Butte. The
founders of that town claim that they
located 1t on an agreement of tho Of
ficers of the road that they would be
given a station but when they asked
for the same privilege it was denied
on the ground that the distance of the
town from stations in North Dakota
does not give them the right they
asked. The state railway commission
after a hearing ordered the station to
be established and the company ap-
pealed to the courts securing a yer.
dict in the lower court which has been
affirmed.

Says Measure Will Cause Depression.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Charles

way home from the national capital.
expressed the opinion that the Will
son-Underwood tariff measure will
cause business depression. The con-
gresham expressed the belief that
the senate would not take final action
oil the tariff bill until August, and that
no other business outside the curren-
cy measure, was likely to come up.
The members of the house, he said,
had a "gentlemen's agreement" to
transact no business until June 1.

action of President Wilson on South

that observation-disclosures slate

death Of Washington or Lincoln

also frequent inquiries about the value
of so-called S~tradivarius v~iolins, which
are claimed to have been picked w
at a bargain with requests as to theil
value. The department calls attention
to the fact that the quality of varnist

Receive Per Capita in Drafts.
Pierre.-Indians on the Cheyenn,
river reservation have been paid 5.
per capita in cash the past week
which gives each family a little spend
ing money. The system of paymeni
has changed, and instead of calling
the Indians to the main agency, they
are paid by a draft sent out to theil
different local camps in charge of the
farmer at each station, who sees tina
the drafts go to those who are enti
tied to receive them. This takes ava,
the rush at the agency, or main sub
agencies when such payments have
been made in the past, and also takes
away the many temporary traders wht
would get busy just off the reserva
ton near paying places to get a share
of the money.
