ANOTHER PIONEER IS CONE
Peter Rhodebeck Died Alone In
Cabin at Spirit Lake.

Peter Rhodebeck, a pioneer Of
Kootenai county, and a Union
veteran of the civil war, was found
dead in his cabin on the shore of
Spirit Lake last Saturday. He
had lived alone for years on pur-
chased land near that which he
homesteaded in 1882. He had
been making trips to the town Of
Spirit Lake several times a week,
his last visit being on Monday, the
9th, and after FIVE days had
elapsed, friends, knowing the con-
dition Of his health, investigated
and found that he had succumbed
apparently to heart trouble.
His nephew, Joseph Shaner of
Rathdruin, was notified and had
the remains brought to Rathdrum
for burial. The funeral was held
from the Methodist Episcopal
church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. N.
S. Hawk officiating. Pail bearers
were chosen from the membership
Of General Lawton Post No. 2o, G.
A. R., of this city, and number
Of early settlers of this locality
were present at the services to pay
their last respects.
Mr.. Rhodebeck was born in
Ohio, February 2, 1842, and was
therefore past 72 years of age. He
was unmarried, and is described
as having been a recluse and a
dreamer. OF late, it is said he had
spent part Of the winters in the
soldiers home at Boise, but with
the coming Of spring he always
hurried back to his lonely but be-
loved retreat on the shore Of Spirit
lake, where he spent his summer
days in peace and solitude and
where death found him alone as
his friends had long expected il
would.

GOOD TUB MATERIALS
WIDE VARIETY or SUMMER WASH
FABRICS DISPLAYED. d,
Some Wonderfully Effective comblna-
lions Are Possible Description Of
One Model That VIII BE Found
Exceedingly eerVIoeable.

There isn't doubt in my mind that
our own shops at home are making
quite as splendid display Of summer
wash fabrics as are the ones here In
Paris, writes q correspondent, and II
90, you will be familiar with such new
tub materials as cotton velour. wash
able gabardlnes and whipcords,
eponge. beach cloth, tango crepe and n
number Of others.
Wonderfully effective are combina-
lions OF one OF these rather heavy
weaves with any Of the sheer voiles
or marquisettes, with possibly
touch Of hemstitching at the seams
or n bit Of hand embroidery to lend
color and contrast. Interesting as all
these newer materials are, our old
standbys, the Irish and French linens,
hold just the same place at the top
Of the list that they always have; and
now that the color card has expanded
considerably they seem to be even
more satisfactory than before for good
looking and serviceable frocks.
saw recently an example Of one OF
the seasons novel designs which can
be nicely developed in linen or any
Of the materials mentioned above. 1t
Is shown in the Avenue de rOpera as
q tennis frock. although there seems
no specific reason why It should be
consigned exclusively to that use. 1t
will make q most attractive afternoon
frock, for instance, in turquoise blue,
with touches Of black embroidery and
white ball buttons.
Because the tunic Is the real novelty
in this design we win consider 1t first.
The front corners are turned back TO
form little pocket and finished with
q triangular tab, simply embroidered
in black and white. The lower edge
rounds down little longer across the
back and the gathers about the waist
lend ample fullness.
The blouse Is cut by a long-sleeved
klmono pattern, made comfortable and
roomy through the width at the arm
sides and the half-buttoned front clos
ing. A small white vest is set between
and there is broad rolling collar Of
white as we'll. The sleeve ends are
made to unbutton and turn back, in &C.
cordance with the original sporting
purpose Of the design. and girdle OF
black satin embroidered in white Is a
consistently pretty finish for the
waist.
The skirt is quite straight and plain,
gathered slightly at the belt and given
an inverted fold at the center front to
allow extra width at the hem.

You derive your profit not from the

MOST REFRESHING OF BATHS
Salt Rub Invluorates the Body and -
Invaluable for Clearing the
Complexion.

Various sanatoriums and private
hospitals are using the salt rub" and
It is becoming so popular that some

vertising It as a special attraction. u
is just as good for well persons AZ click
ones, is the most refreshing Of all
baths and rubs ever invented, only ex-
cepting dip in the sea, and is match
less in its effect upon the skin and
complexion.
With all these virtues II Is the sim
plest and most easily managed Of all
SIMILAR measures, and can be-taken at
home easily.
Put few pounds OF coarse salt-the
coarsest you can get, sea salt by
preference-in an earthen jar. and
pour enough water on 1t to produce a
sort OF slush, but not enough to dis
solve the salt. This should then be
taken up in handfuls and rubbed
briskly over the entire person. but any
one in ordinary health can do It for
himself very satisfactorily.
This being done the next thing Is q
thorough douching Of clear water, pre-
ferably cold. and brisk rubbing with
dry towel The effect OF citation.
freshness and renewed life is imme-
diately felt, and the satiny texture OF
the skin and increased clearness and
brightness OF the complexion swell the
testimony In favor OF the salt rub.

canan Of Satin

Have you noticed the fascinating lit
tie capes Of black satin or velvet which
are being worn with lingerie frockst
They are circular in cut and hang
from the shoulders like those worn by
the cavaliers Of the Ellzabethan era
White satin or molre is used to line
the capes, and they are sometimes
tied about the neck with heavy cords
Of silk. They are to be had in differ
ent lengths, and some Of them are
longer at the center back.
The vogue for the cape has even
extended to the realm Of evening
gowns, for there are lovely models OF
white silk, chiffon or lace, with cepes
Of black chantilly lace suspended
gracefully from the shoulders.

The 0meIette Souffle.

There is q vast distinction between
distribution for the sake Of increasing
the circulation figures and distribution
for the sake Of increasing the number
Of advertising responses.
There Is q difference between cir
culation which strikes the same reader
several times in the same day and the
circulation which does not repeat the
individual. There Is a difference be-
tween circulation which is concen-
trated into an area from which every
reader can be expected to come to
your establishment, IL you can interest
him, and q circulation that spreads
over half dozen states and shows its
greatest volume In territory 30 far
from your establishment that you can't
get buyer out Of ten thousand read
ers.
You've got to weigh and measure all
these things when you weigh and
measure circulation figures. It isn't
the number of copies printed, but the
number Of copies sold-not the num-
Der of papers distributed, but the
number of papers distributed in re-
-sponslVe territory-not the number Of
readers reached, but the number Of
readers who have the price to buy
what you want to sell-that determine
the value Of circulation to you.
You can take a single egg and whip
It into an omelette souffle which
seems to be q whole plateful, but the
extra bulk Is Just hot air and sugar
the change in form has not increased
the amount Of egg substance and it's
the substance in circulation, just as in
the nutrition in the egg, that counts.

POOR MANNERS OF CHILDREN
Some Parents Inclined to Take AdVaT-
taee Of Neighbours kIndnesses-
Love 10 Valuable Asset.

Some mothers are 80 blind to their
children's faults that they allow them
to impose, not only on them, but the
whole neIghborhood. Because love
children and have been kind to them
have had varied experiences with
them. ! regret to say that some par
ents are inclined to take advantage
Of kindnesses shown to their children
and q busy mother has often had her
cares doubled by this imposition. She
cannot demonstrate for fear Of caus-
Ing trouble. So rather than complain
she assumes the trouble Of her neigh
boris children day after day.
The child shows the effects Of care
less training and has an appetite that
Is never satisfied. ! suppose most
neighborhoods have q specimen OF
this sort. The child is to be pitied
and the mother should realize the In
jury she is doing her child and her
too patient neighbor. We lose more
than we can estimate by shifting our
responsibilities.
As love is the most valuable asset
In the world, and as no one has ever
had too much Of 1t, as II is a quality
always in demand and the supply Is
never equal to the demand, It is well
to give some thought to its ways and
means Of manufacture. Girls and boys
have an immense advantage over
those who carry the heavy RESPONSE
bilities Of life. It is right and proper
that the heads Of the family should
have come into their Inheritance and
that their burdens should be sweet
ened by the loving attentions Of their
children.
A mother can hardly begin too early
to teach her little son to wait upon
her and his sister. and to lift his hat
in greeting and to eat carefully and
without haste. Habits Of cleanliness
may be cultivated, have found
through the magic art Of praising.
Flattery has its uses and small doses
Of It help US all along diflcult ways
At times.

By JOHN M. OSKISON

about IT," said the grouse. And the
grouse scratched his head and fell into
a long study and didn't pay any atten-
ton to the turkey, who just couldn't
wait to hear how to change his voice.
At last the grouse stood up and said:
II will teach you how to improve
your voice, but first / must have O
present" So the turkey asked what
It was the grouse wanted. And the
grouse said that he wanted q collar OF
fine feathers to put round his neck.
"wiIl these feathers do?" asked the
turkey, and he pointed to a row which
he wore around his legs.
YES" said the grouse. So the tur-
key took them OF and gave them to
the grouse.
He was left then with bare legs clear
UP past the knees, but the turkey
didn't care; and the grouse was well
pleased with his new feather collar
SO we'll pleased that ever since he
spends q great deal Of time rufIling
and smoothing 1t.
Finally the grouse asked the turkey
to follow him into the woods and get
upon q log. And the grouse got up on
the log, too, and said:
Nov, when / give the signal by tap
ping on the log you must halo just as
loud as you possibly can" And when
all was ready the grouse tapped on the
hollow log, as he knows how to do, so
that the noise went booming through
the woods.
But so excited was the turkey, and
so much noise did the grouse make
when he tapped on the hollow log, that
he could not raise his voice to shout,
but could only gobble. And ever since
then, whenever he has stopped feed
ing and thinks he hears noise In the
woods, he gets excited and gobbles.

Long time ago, In the stiA dusk OF
the woods away up on side Of q rough
mountain. the turkey gobblers used to
come out on the little patches OF
smooth grass and talk to one another
And down by the river. where the
houses Of the people fronted the sun
set, the little Indian boys would hear
the talk Of the turkeys and ask the old
men why 1t was that the turkeys had
such funny voices. And before the
daylight had quite gone. the old men
would tell this story:
It was in q time when the birds and
the animals used to play ball together,
when It was hard for the animals to
believe that the birds were really bet.
ter players. and when they had game
every few days.
Now, in these ball games, It was the
grouse who had the best voice for hal
loing. It was the grouse who kept
close to the great eagle, who was the
captain Of the bird players, and cried
aloud the orders which the great eagle
gave.
1t wasn't that the voice Of the
grouse was SO loud-the great eagle
himself had o louder voice, and the
hawk could scream so that you could
hear him farther, but the voice OF the
grouse had something of music in It,
very clear and very easy to under
stand.
The turkey had just got fine red
beard to hang under his chin and he
wanted to make his voice sweeter for
It wasn't very good. So one morning
the turkey went to call on the grouse,
and even before he sat down he told
the grouse that he wanted to be taught
to make his voice sweet.

HONESTY IN THE FAR NORTH
scrupuIous Regards Of the Rights OF
Property Carried to a Really Re-
markable Degree.

An interesting example Of painstak.

given In "a Summer and Winter on
Hudson's Bay" by Mr.. Q. X. Leith and
Mr.. A. T. Leith. When the authors
geological expedition was wrecked In
terrific storm at Whale river, nearly
hundred miles from the nearest
source OF food supply. 1t was necessary
for them to abandon large part OF
their outfit. Nearly fifteen months
later they received letter from the
Hudson's Bay house In London, an
nouncing that case Of goods for them
had been forwarded by freight, and In
closing a bill for three shillings and
sixpence.
In due time they got the box packed
exactly as they had left It after the
wreck. Besides some very valuable
specimens, 1t contained two water
soaked cameras, some dip needles.
compasses, geological hammers. maps
and geological reports. pencils, one
glass bottle Of drawing ink, and so
forth. This was the itinerary OF the
box.
Propped on poles to escape the raw
ages OF foxes, 1t had remained until
the following winter, when Eskimos.
passing on their winter hunt, took the
box along on toboggan and returned
with It in the spring to the post at
Great Whale river When Hudson's
bay opened in the summer. the box
went out on the posts sailboat on the
