URDAY, APRIL %.

Something to New Hospital.

The past week has been a record
one for unsolicited subscriptions to

Yesterday morning the propriet0rs
of the Crystal laundry phoned to the
Herald office that they had not yet
been asked to contribute to the
hospital fund and wanted their sub
scription of $15 cash to be entered
Tony Brown, of Copeland, made a
cash subscription of $500; E. G.
scribe $25 and would probably
double the amount later on; ]. b.
Brody entered his subscription of
$1,000. The Hospital Fund commit
tee understands that other subscrip-
ton have been offered and will be
subscriptions of the week was that
of the Masonic lodge which has
agreed to furnish room in the
hospital to the extent of 500. Sew
eral subscriptions have been made
on the various blanks which are be-
ing circulated but the amounts and
names were not obtainable today.
Fred Lipp of Copeland was in she
city yesterday and announced that
the Copeland people would give a
benefit dance for the hospital fund
on Saturday night. April %. The
hall and music has been donated
and lunches will be furnished by the
ladies of the district. Mr.. Lipp
is in hopes of securing a three-piece
that the people of Copeland are
anxious to see the plans for a new
hospital materialize and that Port
hill people feel the same way and
will soon arrange to give a dance
/ at Porthill for the benefit of the
people are planning to go to Cope

pleased with the response made to
the call for subscriptions but is sat

LaFLoUR ACCIDENTALLY HURl
Badly Bruised and Loses a Horse in
Runaway Last Tuesday.

Henry LaFlour, we'll known resi-
dent of the Katka district, was the
unfortunate victim of a runaway
accident last Tuesday which happened
on the Katka hill when blasting
across the river on the Great North
ern right-of-way scared the team he
was driving. The frightened ami
mails veered from the road and
dashed over the bank. LaFlour
doesn't know whether he jumped or
was thrown from the wagon. He
was found in an unconscious con-
dition in the middle of the road and
either struck his head on the ground
or was run over by the wagon.
His head was badly laceratcd and
for a while it was thought that
his skull was fractured. He also
was badly bruised about the body. He
was brought to the Bonners Ferry
hospital for treatment Wednesday.
One of the horses which went
over the bank was killed and the
other received a few minor scratches.
The wagon was completely demol-
lshed. iaFlour lost his right leg
several years ago and has been ma
ing a go of it on hfs Katka lome-
stead under adverse conditions for
some time. His injuries and the loss
of the horse is a serious setback
for him and he has the sympathy
Tof. host of friends in his misfor-
tune.

WANTS THE HERALD
FIVE MORE YEARS

An optimistic spirit has had
full sway in the Herald office
for some time and in the flu
ture when the Editor feels
the "blues" coming on he is
is sure that the following
letter, recently received, will
give rosy tint to the future:
Chicago, III.
c. w. King,
Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
The Herald always meets
with a welcome and I want
it continued. You tell me /
owe you 1925 on account of
it and l beg to enclose you
a check for $1,000 to cover
that and as much more as the
balance will buy.
Wishing you all sorts of
prosperity, l am,
Very truly yours,
Henry d. Laughlin.
Such a letter accompanied
by a check paying for a
subscription five years in adj
vance, would warm the cookies
of the heart of the crabbiest
newspaper man in all the
universe. Since receiving it
the Editor has added one more
ambition to an already large
string-to be financially able
to go to Chicago and for one
night at least rent every one
of the 1000 or more rooms in
Henry d. Laughlin's Great
Northern Hotel, just to show
that our heart is in the right
place.

ATTACKED BY AN ALLIGATOR
New Maid in Home Which Shelters a
Pampered Pet Dog Has Most
Exciting Experience.

There are no children in this house
in North Alabama street. They have
grown up, married and gone away.
Their absence is partly relieved by a
small dog, lively little terrier. This
dog, as he is not permitted to asso-
ciate with the rude dogs of the street,
has playthings of different kinds, much
like those that in other households, are
bought for small boys and girls, says
the indianapolis News.
The other day a new maid came into
the house. She was tidying up the liv-
ing room, and when drawing her broom
from under q couch she gave q shrek
of terror and ran into the yard, where
some carpenters were at work.
"Theres some kind of a beast in
there" she said, "and I'm scared al
most to death.
A gallant young carpenter offered to
go in and tackle the animal in it's lair.
He armed himself with a strip Of
scantling and went in.
A moment later he was heard to
strike. The new domestic, looking
through a window, begged him to be
careful and take no chances. "It
jumped at me-" said she, "when hit
it with the broom and it made an awful
screech."
The gallant young carpenter had
been so fortunate as to cover the beast
with the board and was standing on
the scantling. When he had stood on
it for five minutes and thought life
must certainly be extinct, he stepped
off and removed the board.
AS he did so there was a strange
noise from the animal which jumped
at the carpenter, who ran out to get
assistance. BY this time the mistress
Of the house had returned with the
dog.
For goodness sakes," she said,
'What on earth is the matter? Why
all this eXcitement?" Before the cues
ton was answered the black-and-tan
terrier ran into the house and out into
the yard.
In his mouth was the beast. It was
one of his playthings, an India rubber
alligator about eight inches long.
Land sakes!'' said the new maid.
But the gallant young carpenter said
something different.
