Little Demand for German
amongthe Students at the
Institution.

EEKINS, Oct. 9. = With I he opening
Of the session the Of offering Spanish
at the Davis and 'Elkins College seems
justified. The beginners class now
numbers eighteen or nineteen, which
is considered an unusually large class
at the college. There has been little
demand for beginners' German this
year, but French continues to be pop
ular, and SO does Latin. The teach
ing Of Spanish will, probably become
permanent work, and properly so. be-
cause there is every reason to believe
that Spanish will become the popular
commercial foreign language in this
country as relations with South Amer
ican republics become closer.
All Classes Organized.
All classes at the college are now
well organized and work is progress
| ing in the usual way. Some belated
students are still arriving and inquir-
les indicate that there will yet be
others. Registration to date is con-
siderably in excess Of that Of last
year at this time. The increase 10
most apparent in the freshman class.
So far the quality Of the new students
seems good and one may believe that
the general scholastic zone OF the
students this year will be equally as
high II not higher than in previous
years.
There will be four students to APP
ply for degrees this year. Misses May

That the chairman of the national
republican party declares that a re-
publican president will be elected in
1916, and amongst various and sun
dry candidates suggested, we find
that the name of our statesman, VIM.

or ignored, consequently not every
republican in Idaho, at least, will
agree with the national chairman.

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Il Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.

No one would suppose that it il
possible to hold a glowing coal OF
a piece of linen or cotton without
burning the cloth, but that suct
can be done is easy for any one t.
prove, and at the same time the ex-
pertinent teaches an important nat
ural law.
Every child knows that the tele-
phone and telegraph wires are made
of copper because that metal is a
good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form
of heat. If poker is heated in the
fire you pick up cloth to hold the
outer end, although it has not been
in the fire, because experience has
taught you that the heat is con-
nected through the metal from the
fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the fam
ing coal is based upon this princi-
pie and the additional one that lin
en- and cotton are poor conductors
of heat. Take a globe of copper
and draw a piece of cloth tightly
over it 80 that there is not wrin-
kle at the top. II the linen or cot
ton is closely woven the trick is all
the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can
safely put a glowing coal on top Of
the cloth, and, while it burns fierce
ly, the cloth will not even be
scorched.
The reason is that the great con-
ductivity of the copper draws the
heat Of the coal before it can burn
the cloth. Do not make this ex-
pertinent with a good handkerchief
first, for if the cloth is not tightly
drawn it may burn, but take some
worthless piece Of linen or muslin,
and after you are certain of your
experience you can astonish your
friends who do not know the Sc
cret.-W Washington Post.

Proved the Wrong Theory.

A patient in an insane asylum
imagined that he was dead. Nothing
could drive the delusion out of his
brain. One day an attending ply
stefan had happy thought and said
to this nut:
"Did you ever see a dead man
bleed ?"
mo, of course not" was the re-
ply.
"Did you ever hear of dead
man bleeding?" continued the doc
tor.
"Sure l never did," answered the
patient.
"Well, then, let me stick this
knife into your arm Anal You
are bleeding, aren't you? Well,
then! Doesn't that prove to you
that you are not dead ?"
"Naw," said the patient. 'eYou
amt much Of a scientist. What
you've proved is that dead men do
bleed"

If the Idaho legislators will forget

discouraged if you can avoid it, but
do your best to get along and bear in
mind that you will find, if you seek,
some good. people left in the world
who will help you out the best they

I've been up against it pretty hard,
and am now, though perhaps not as
badly as you. Yet feel sorry if you
are in a worse fix than l am. Mine
is not a case of self pity, for 1 have
pity for others as well.
There are things that we know and
some that we only believe. We know
that we poor who are alive are des-
tined to struggle hard for our sup
port, but know nothing of the here
after. That doesn't worry me as
much as what will become of us here.
Poverty is not always curse and
riches not always blessing, Life is
worth living if we can believe it is,
although it is very hard to believe
that way when everything seems
working against us. / don't ask you
to smile, poor brother or sister, if you
don't feel that way, but for heavens

the worst feeling that can come over

Always think that there is some way
out of every difficulty, for it's boost

treatment than he is getting, and if

WOULD PLACE ORDER
FOR MILLION GUNS
Amy Concern Which WIN Handle
Trade.

1t was learned here yesterday that
an effort is being made by Northern
men. believed to be New Workers. to
place an order for the manufacture
and delivery OF 1000. 900 Mauser army
rifles at or near Richmond, the de-
livery of the small arms to begin with
in a period of six months and the final
delivery of the 100000 rifles to be
completed within two years. It Is
presumed the order is being placed for
the allied armies In Europe. although
the idea has been advanced that the
United States Government, itself, may
desire the arms.
The letter mentioning the order
was received recently by J. N. Bren-
aman, deputy in the cfflce OF Colo
mel Joseph Button, State Commits
sioner of Insurance for Virginia. The
communication was mailed under
date of August 8. and reads In part
as follows,
I am writing to know IL you can
find around Richmond a plant that
can be equipped or will handle the
following order, namely: 1000. 600
six months and final delivery to be
made within two years. Twenty-Five
per cent cash deposit with order and
unquestionable security for balance"
Upon receiving this latter. which
reached him from party with whom
he has had past business dealings, Mr.
Brenaman went at once to work to
ascertain what firm in this vicinity
could handle the order Negotiations
with several capitalists are said to be
pending. and 1t 10 known communica-
tions have been opened with a large
local manufacturing plant.
The principal difffculty so far ap-
pears TO be that the necessary machin-
cry for the manufacture OF rifles on
so large scale an IL suggested cannot
be secured here within sufficiently
short period OF time to begin the de-
livery of arms within six months. The
entire country appears to have en-
barked on the manufacture of arms
and ammunition and machinery neces.
sary for such manufacture has been
gobbled up.
II is estimated that the order for
1000, 900 rifles 10 worth hA,ween $4,000,
900 and slsspoo,ooa
