was left over for a month for the
new council to act upon, The new
fire chief R. Hudson again recon-
mended the purchase of additional
hose, cutting X the amount down to
500 feet. The vote for buying was
turned down'by the following vote:
Against buying, Fluck, Amply,
Westcott, Peterson, Martinson, Dib-
BELLE For buying, Bryan, Hacker,
Handberg, Herring, Ross-5
Our files show this paper was OPP
posed to the purchase of hose. How
does the mayor figure out the men we
are supporting. So far as
we know we have endeavored to be
fair to all in the matter and have
only showed up things as we found
them on the records. If the Mayor
can show us when any other men,
bers of the council have committed
wrongs and can furnish the facts and
figures from the records to support
his charges we will gladly publish
the same, no matter whom they may
strike.

quarters. His wagon was old and rick

Peddler Meyers had an unusually hard
day. AS he drove home late IN the
evening he noticed that Baron looked
sick. He gave him good supper of
cats. rubbed him down and then went
to his own supper.
An hour later he again visited Baron
and found him worse. BE applied such
remedies as he could and then, finding

Why Dreams Come True.

There is a scientific explanation OF
the fact that illness, at least, can be
forctold in dreams. The theory is that
when a man is dreaming his mind IS
more sensitive than in his waking
hours, for the simple reason that his
actual surroundings are not engaging
any of the minds attention. Thus it
happens that when some disease has
set in the man awake does not feel it
in it's earliest stages, although the &C
tive mind in sleeping body does feel
y. The sleeper dreams, let us say, that
he is suffering some complaint Of the
leg, and two or three days later, the
disease having developed. he finds that
he really has got bad attack of rheu-
matism. Harvey, VINO discovered the
circulation OF Ine blood, records having
had a dream in which a bee StunS him
in his left thigh. on 4 place where 4
couple of days later appeared an ugly
ulcer. The ulcer must have been de-
veloping. Of course. 1t the time OF the
dream, but what the man in full con-
sciousness could not perceive the man

Hotels Own Hearse

Some Of the hotel keepers ION the
other side" have peculiar ways Of ad-
yertising their houses, and one Of the
most singular of these methods Is the
statement in their advertisements that
the hotel is equipped with hearse!
Inasmuch as the American hotel keeper
is only looking for 'live ones" it Is
not Of record that hearseS have been
used as attractions in this country as
yet. One Of the English catering
journals. In Speaking Of this custom,
recently said: I'VE have on several
occasions commented upon the un-
canny mixing up Of the funeral traffic
business with hotel keeping-an unholy
combination to be met with in some
northern parts Of Ireland. Apropos,
here is en- enticing advertisement from
a Sligo paper calculated to bring quite
a rush of guests anxious to test the
accommodation: Mrs. -, proprietor

A Rain prsvsnfer.

About fifty years ago an invention
was announced which would be ac-
claimed with Joy just now. A German,
Helyetius Otto, stated that he had dis
covered a means Of preventing rain
He built platform on which were
placed some huge bellows worked by
steam at very high pressure. These
were supposed to blow away any
clouds gathered above. Otto main
tanned that these "pluvifuges" dis
ribued throughout town would en-
able the authorities to insure dry
weather for so long as they thought
fit. The inventor bore high reputa-
ton in the scientific world. and his
plurifuge attracted attention. But it
never proved practicable, and after a
few months experiment Otto gave up
trying to fight the weather.

way ch,nanes Ars Poor Soldiers

Why chlnanes Are Poor Soldiers.
The Chinanlan Is poor soldier. Not
that he Is lacking in courage, fol on
occasions he cheerfully sells himself
as substitute and goes willingly to the
executfoner's az in order to provide his
parents with the small sum necessary
to support them through life. The
strength OF an army IS IN team work,
and here IS where he fails on account
Of his aversion to being ordered This
is found IN his domestic and industrial
work. a general line OF policy or de-
sired results can be laid down. and he
will faithfully work in accordance
Herewith, but he ,9slikes to be follow
ed up through the details Of the work
with frequent orders. he Will produce
excellent results, but they must be ac-
complished In his own way; hence the
essence Of good militarism-prompt
and unquestioned obe&ence-comes In
direct conflict with his nature and
makes him q poor soldier. However,
this trait is not entirely wanting IN
other naionahties. as every business
man knows to his sorrow. and the dH-
lculty Of getting employees to do a
thing IN the prescribed way is one OF
the constant ,andeties.-H. b. Windsor

Fortune 1eliinl.

Fortune telling is almost as old as
the human race. We have no knoWl'
edge Of the time when or place where
it originated We only know that the
practice was in vogue as far back an
we can go. Some claim that It had Its
beginning with the Chaldean astrolo-
gers. who claimed that they were able
to foretell the future by aid OF the
planets The oldest Of the nations
were familiar with the practice, and
by the gypsies It has been carried all
over the world. 1t is perfectly natural
for man to want to know about tomor-
row and next year. and 1t required but
little effort on his part to listen to for
tune tellers. To this day the business
Is carried on with profit by the gypsies
and others who impose upon the ere
dulity Of the superstitious.-New York

a E;sh With a Lantern.

No matter what animals or groups
of animals are studied. it will always
be found that their leading physical
traits are exactly adapted to their hab-
its and conditions. A striking Illus
tration Of this fact is afforded by the
torch fish. This is a deep sea fish that
carries ON its nose something Ike a
short, thin bone. which it can nlumi-
nate with phosphorescent light or
extinguish at pleasure. It does not use
this lantern to guide 1t on its way ID
the depths Of the ocean or to enable
It to see what is going on In the neigh
borhood. The light IS put to a more
practical use. When the fish feels hun
cry it lights up to attract smaller fish
They dart for the light and find them
selves in the capacious mouth OF the
fish. How the lantern is lighted and
extnguished is not yet clearly ultdeT'
stood.

Docs That Resemble Bears.

1t has already been noted by scien-
fists that certain mountain dogs have
shapes and assume attributes resem-
bling those of 4 bear. Among these
dogs the sheep dog Of the Pyrenees
bears q closer resemblance to the bear
than most others. Although he is sell
dom over twenty inches high. his bones
are very massive and his muscles ex-
ceptionally developed. His fur Is
thick. consisting of long, fine. silky
hair. either black. dun colored or gray.
His head is large and the nose taper

lustrous and his ears always "atten-

feet are elongated and fiat. The tall
is very short or even entirely missing.

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is rue down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold.
Now isn't It reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parharn, Of East Dur
ham, N. c., says: u took Vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared, but it built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason Vinol Is 80 eMcacious in
such cases is because it contains In q
delicious concentrated form ell the
medicinal curative elements Of cod

Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because It builds up the weak
