INDlA'S FAMOUS ROAD.
II Was the Worlds Greatest Highway
Before Rome Was Born.

Before Rome Was Born.
Search where you will, you will find
no highway in the whole world so 70.
mantle as the Grand Trunk road OF
India.
A stately avenue of three roads In
one-the center of hard metal, the
roads on each side ankle deep in silvery
dust-fringed by double rows of trees.
1t runs for 1.400 miles through the vast
northern plain which skirts the Hima-
layas, from Calcutta to far Peshawur
which keeps sentinel at the gate Of Az
ghanistan.
From horizon to horizon 1t stretches
like broad white ribbon, as seemingly
straight as If traced by gigantic
ruler And dotted along its entire
length are hundreds of serais (wayside
rest houses). each with its arched and
turreted gateway, Its spacious inclos-
ure, In which humans share shelter
with oxen, camels and goats. and Its
central well of sparkling water.
For 1900 years the Himalayas have
looked down on this road and seen 1t
as they see 1t today. 1t was the worlds
greatest highway before Rome was
Graded, when the aboriginal Indians
drove their cattle over the very spot
where the motorcar dashes today.
Alexander the Great led his Greeks
along 1t to the conquest of northern
India, and Buddha himself took his
daily walks along 1t centuries before
Christ was Graded.
1t has seen u hundred generations
come and CO. Il score of dynasties rise
and fall. And yet today it is to the eye
exactly the same as in the long gone
years when Nineveh was a proud city.

JOHN POWELL HURT.

Friday evening at the F. +. Wyatt
ranch, as the harvest hands were leav-
ing the field, John Powell was severely
but not seriously injured. The other
boys and horses had already proceeded
to the house, while Harry Markham and
John Powell still remained at the stack
unhitehing their horses. The horses
were all unhitched but one tug and the
horse became uneasy and was trying to
follow the others. Mr.. Powell at
tempted to make the horse stand still
until the tug was unfastened when it
reared up and struck him, one foot
striking him on the shoulder, the other
on the head, laying his scalp open clear
to the skull. He showed great nerve
through it all, and had started to walk
to the house when he was met by some
of the boys with rig returning for
him. DR.. w. A. Foskett was called and
it was necessary to take fourteen
stitches in dressing the wound. The
hoof struck him a glancing blow or his
skull would have been crushed. He
is getting along nicely.

THIRST TAMES WILD BEASTS.
Savage 5rutes Respect Each Others
Right to Drinking Water.

Right to Drinking Water.
Just as one dog will respect another,
dogs bone so even the fiercest forest
beasts have their unwritten laws and
their little conventions.
One common idea which has found
Its way into scores of books of adven-
ture Is that the lion and tiger take ad-
vantage of the insistent can of thirst
to get supper-that Is to say. they go
down to the water pool. the only one
for miles around. take a good drink
themselves and then lie in wait for
some gaZelle or giraffe or ibex coming
there for like purpose In order to
spring upon the poor creature while I'm
the act of drinking and make a meal
of it.
Yet this is n libelous estimate of wild
beast character. The fact Is that there
Is sort of truce of the water hole In
jungle and forest. AS far as killing is
concerned the drinking place is out of
bounds. There is an invisible notice
board on Its banks which says, Live
and Let Live" and 1t is implicitly
obeyed
rhinoceros gets first drink He is the
Dreadnought of the forest Jungle.
Then comes that old ironcad the ele-
plant.
When he has lowered the tide mark
and made the water more like coffee
than anything else the big pussy cats
stroll down to quench their ardent
tongues-the lions. the leopards in AZ.
rica, the tigers in India, the jaguars
and pumas In South America
Meanwhile the shy animals-the gi.
RATES., deer springboks and even the
buffaloes. although they are match
for a lion-stand In the background
and wait till the carnivora have done.
But the latter never prevent their ap-
proach to the water or waylay them on
their retirement And that is better
manners-aye. and better morals-than
many men show,-Pearson's

PROF. CURTIS HOME.

Prof. j. w. Curtis, who has been at
tending summer school at Moscow re-
turned home with his family Friday of
last week. After leaving Moscow the
Curtis family visited in Lewiston for
two weeks and also visited an old
friend of the professor s at Winchester,
who came from Carolina, where they
formerly lived. They were in Grange
vile for two days before coming on
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis say they
notice the heat here more, because it
has been so much cooler where they
have been. 1t was necessary for
them to have a fire for comfort during
July in Moscow, also while they visited
in Lewiston. But they all return HON.
feeling greatly benefited by their
vacation and Prof. Curtis expects to do
a bigger and better work than during
the two preceding years he has taught
here. White Bird may well consider
itself fortunate in securing his services
for the coming school year.

certain questions are unanswerable or
certain problems incapable Of solution
Is absolutely unscientific.
Insoluble matters are at times "obvi-
ously" unanswerable because new by

years ago scientists and theologians
laughed at the idea that even earth

discovery of spectral analysis. by which
the chemical composition of distant
