Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. The
Christians we're regarded as sedi-
tious. In denying the divinity Of
the Caesars and the Roman gods
they were guilty Of high treason in
Roman eyes and we're accordingly
punished. But their punishment
had no religious significance what
ever. The Christians were perse-

the authorities, they we're disturb

POWER OF WATER.

49,"
Bullet From lts Course.
A stream of water considerably
less than one inch in diameter,
which moves with such amazing
velocity that ii cannot be cut by q
bullet or BY the finest tempered
sword, is described in the Popular
Science Monthly.
"a factory in Grenoble, France,
we are told, "utilizes the water Of a
reservoir situated in the mountains
at a height Of goo yards. The water
reaches the factory through a verti-
cal tube of the same length with a
diameter of considerably less than
an inch, the jet being used to move
turbine. Experiments have shown
that the strongest men cannot cut
the Jet with the best tempered
sword, and in some instances the
blade has been broken into frag-
ments without DETECTING a drop OF
the water and with as much vio-
lence as a pane Of glass may be
shattered by a blow from an iron
bar. II has been calculated chat
Jet of water a small fraction Of an
inch in thickness, moving with sufli-
cient velocity. could not be cut BY

"The engineers Of some big wa
ter power projects Of the far west
are willing to wager that a 200
pound man, swinging a four pound /
ak With all his might, cannot make |
a dent in the water as it emerges
from the nozzle at the power house.
Burying an ak in a stream Of water
looks ike child's play, and the av-
erage 200 pound visitor IS likely TO
bite He invariably loses. So great
IS the velocity Of the water emery
ing from the nozzle in these modern
power plants than an az, no matter
now keen it's edge, is whirled from
he hands Of the axman as soon as
I touches the water. The water
ravels under a pressure exceeding
100 pounds to the square inch in
many instances, and no power on

JEFFERSON AND sOTHERN.


The story Of the production Of
~Our American Cousin" has often
been told, but a new light was
thrown upon the history Of Lord
Dunlreary when Joseph Jefferson
related to me the following facts:
1t appears that Mr.. Jefferson was
at the time Of this production sup
posed to be suffering from consump-
ton He told me that his doctors
declared that his only hope was to
be in the fresh air as much as pos
sible; that actually his life depend
ed upon it. He was glad, therefore,
when my father joined Laura
Keene's company, to discover that
he was passionately fond Of riding.
They hired a stable together and
purchased two horses. They shared
the expense, which was a serious
matter, as they we're both merely
stock actors.
When the play Of sour American
Cousin" was read to the company,
as was customary, my father was so
disheartened with the part for
which be was cast-Lord Dun
dreary, a second old man with only
a few hnes-that he determined 10
throw up his engagement and leave
America. He had been acting for
ten years and had, he thought, made
some impression, and he felt that if
his years Of labor had brought him
no further reward he would give MP
the struggle. He told Jefferson that
he proposed to return to England
and enter his fathers Office in Liv-
erpool to devote himself to mercan-
tile pursuits.
At once it occurred to Mr. Jeffer-
son that if my father went away he
would have to abandon the stable:
he could not bear the expense alone
He used all his powers Of argument !
to induce my father not to throw !
up his part. Joe Jefferson was the =
leading comedian Of the company.
and he promised my father that. :
with Miss Keene's consent, he
would permit him any liberty in the
scenes they might have together.
But | have no scenes, said nv r
father. II have only about ten :
ines" =
Eve will have scenes" said JEFF /
Ierson. Owe will make them" 4
He persuaded the detected Mr.. n
Sothern to at least attend the first +
'ew rehearsals, and he did so. JEFF 4
'erson was as good as his word. Of 4,
course, and Miss Keene was induc- p
d to allow Lord Dundreary much
liberty. My mother played Georgina

Judge Steele Holds School Levy
Valid.

A decision of considerable inn
portance was rendered by Judge
Steele Tuesday, in the district
court at Lewiston, in the action
entitled Northern Pacific Railway
Co, plaintiff, VS.. John L. Chap
man, defendant, Mr.. Chapman be-
ing sued as county treasurer for
the recovery of approximately
$4,000 paid under protest by the
railway company as special school
taxes in district Nos. 81, "a, 55,
81 and SO, Nez Perez county,
Judge Steele sustaining the de-
PENDANT s demurrer and ordering
a dismissal of the action.
The complaint in substance al
legged there was no authority in
law for those districts at their
annual meeting in April, 1915, to
levy a special school tax in ex-
cess of 5 mills exclusive of such
levy as they might make for their
bonded Indebtedness.
The legislature in 1913 passed
two different acts covering these
special school levies, one limiting
such special tax to 5 mills, and
the other limiting it to Is mills.
Both acts were signed by the gov
arnor on the same day and there
IS no way of knowing which bill
he governor signed first. On No
7ember Is. 1915, in ease appeal
ID to the supreme court from
IIinid0ka county the supreme
court held that the 5 mill act
hould control as between the two
.913 acts. This decision, how
yer, was not rendered until long
.fter the April meetings of the
choOl district in 1915, co the
MEETINGS did not have the benefit
T this decision to guide them. On
he other hand, the 1915 legisla-
ure passed an act which was APP
roved on March u, 1915, auth
rizing such special levy to the
NIT of 10 mills.
The plaintiffs attorneys at
nee announced their intentions
prosecuting an appeal to the
lpreme court and that the APP
cal would be taken at an early i
ate.
As the matter stands, the mon
: representing the alleged ex-
sssive tax is held by County
reasurer Chapman and will not
: apportioned to the several dis
lets until the matter is decided
7 the supreme court.
The matter is one of great inn
,rtance to the school districts af-
cted, for they presumably vot-
| only the ammounts actually
seded. The railway company 3
lyment under protest has the
feet Of an injunction, and in
much as the railway company
a heavy tax payer, the protest
ID the effect of withholding
ON the districts practically half
e special taxes levied against it
the districts in question. No
ubt similar action was taken IN
the counties Of the state where
ilroad companies were similarly 7
fected by such school levies, so :
2 ultimate decision of the SUI :
eme court will be one of gem J
Il intrest throughout the state I
the schools.-Tribune.

Uric Acid Poisoning !:

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause Of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. T., DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Bon't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root. DR.. Kilmer's Presdip-

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
rs they control the other organs to a re-
variable dagree and do . Tremendous
amount Of work IN removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system By
6ltering the blood.
/. The kidneys should receive some A.
sistance when needed. We take less e.
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such a. hme back, snnoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.
Instead of an ak and saw to remove
the tops Of trees that are to be used
as masts in logging operations, dyna-
mite Is used to shoot of the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
a rigger climbs the tree, with set Of
irons, to the point where It Is neces-
sary to cut off the top. Here the trunk
is usually about IL inches in diane
ter. The rigger ties a string Of dyna-
mite cartridges, fastened end to end
like sausages, around the trunk at this
point, inserts blasting cap with about
20 feet Of fuse in one Of these sticks,
lights the end Of the fuse, and de-
sends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
Is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging in and loading the logs
