record for our town was broken DUR
ing the months of June, July and Au-
gust.
Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne started the
trouble by having the team over to
dinner, Pug" Coulan and all. After
all, why not? No foreign and impe-
cunious princes penetrate as far inland
as our town. They get only as far as
New York, or Newport, where they are
gobbled up by many-moneyed matrons.
If Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne found the
supply of available lions limited, why
should she not try to content herself
with a jackal or so?
Ivy was asked Until then she had
contented herself with gazing at her
hero She had become such hard
ened baseball fan that she followed the
game with score card, accurately jot-
ting down every play, and keeping her
watch open on her knee

ALMOND Ivy Keller and Rude Schlach-
weller understood each other. Rude
illustrated certain plays Dy drawing
lines on the tablecloth with his knife
and Ivy gazed, wide-eyed, and allowed
her soup to grow cold.
The first night that Rude called, Pa
Keller thought it a great joke. He sat
out on the porch with Rude and Ivy
and talked baseball, and got up to
show Rude how he could have got the
goat of that Keokuk catcher if only
he had tried one of his famous open
faced throws. Rude looked politely
interested. and laughed in all the right
places. But Ivy didQ't need to pre-
tend. Rude Schlachweiler spelled
baseball to her. She did not think of
her caller as good-looking young man
in blue serge suit and a white shirt
waist Even as he sat there she saw
him as blond god standing on the
pitchers mound, with the scars of bat
tie on his baseball pants, his left foot
placed in front of him at right angles
with his right foot, his gaze fixed on

ODD FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA
Superstition Has Added to Ravaoes of
Dread Dsease-How Rocks
Were Affected.

Cholera has usually found a use
full ally in superstition In, the old days
the disease. was believed to lie bottled
up in volcanoes and to be released by
eruptions The most effectual way to
avoid it was to sleep in bed with your
head due south. In Russia during the
terrible epidemics six years ago the
peasants would not trust the doctors,
whom they actually accused of caus-
ing the disease, but drank fearful
mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as
preventives, and fired guns from the
doors and windows to scare the chol-
era away What spreads the disease
along the caravan routes of Asia is
the habit of washing dirty clothes in
the drinking wells.
Rocks were the birds whose conduct
in connection with the cholera was OBJ
served in Ireland in 1892 According
to the contemporary Dublin Morning
Register, Immediately the cholera
came all the birds vanished from the
rookery in the Marquis of SGgo's de-
mesne, one of the largest IN Ireland.
"For three weeks, during which the
disease ragged violently, these noisy
tenants OF the trees completely desert
ed their lofty habitations. In the mean
time the revenue police found immense
numbers of them lying dead upon the
shore near Erris, about ten miles dis
tant. Upon the decline of the malady,
within the last few days, several OF
the old birds have again appeared in
the neighborhood of the rookery, but
some of them seemed unable, through
exhaustion, to reach their nests

L am. Did you notice the way that
Ottumwa man pitched yesterday? He
didn't do any acting for the grand
stand. He didn't reach up above his
head, and wrap his right shoulder with
his left toe, and swing mis- arm three
times and then throw seven inches
outside the plate. He just took the

they're tailenders. Just the same, that
man on the mound was wizard, and
if he had one decent player to give
him some support
Well, the thing came to a climax.
One evening, two weeks before the
close of the season. Ivy put on her hat
and announced that she was going
downtown to mail her letters.

Owing to the teachers institute
which is to be in session at Moscow
next week, it has been decided to
postpone the opening of school until
Monday, Sept. Goth. 1t is hoped
that as many as possible will take
advantage of this late opening and
enroll in school on the first day.
The success of a years work depends
in great measure upon the beginning
which a pupil makes. Attend the
first day and start right.
The board of education is making
plans to enlarge the high school
course to include the 18th grade if
there is sufficient demand to war;
rant it. All those in the town or
country who are ready to do twelfth
grade work this year are requested
to consult the principal at his office
in the school building, Saturday,
Sept. 18th 2 to 5 PM. or communi-
cate with him before that date.

TROLLED BY THE TAX PAYERS
THEMSELVES.
The report suggests that the rap
idly increasing cost of public schools
is a problem demanding consider
alton, and that teachers Institutes
might profitably devote one day in
each session to the vital question of
cost.
An exhaustive table compares the
various operations of Latah County
with similar transactions in four
other counties of Idaho. Latah
makes splendid showing in almost
every detail of this table. To oper-
ate the county government one year
cost in Kootenai sos, 100000; Twin
Falls $88.O00.00; Bingham$52, OOO.-
90; Nez Perez $98, 100000, and Latah
$50, 100000.
In closing his report the account
ant admittedly strays out of his
jurisdiction and says that he cannot
leave without a word about the
courthouse. His last line reads thus;
Some day there will be fire at
the courthouse that will cost the
citizens of Latah County thousands
of dollars and years of litigation.
