ATTENDED SCHOOL HERE.

Street rumor is to the effect
that Charles Simmons, clerk in
the local postoffice, will be APP
pointed postmaster for Grange
vile. u. S. Civil service eXamin-
ations of candidates for post
master were conducted here
early in the winter, and Sim
mons was an applicant.
Simmons. who is a young man,
attended the University of Idaho
and later was with the American
army in France.
Basis for the rumor that Sim
mons will receive the appoint
ment is the fact that an eastern
bonding company OIL Thursday

seeking Endorsements for Sim
mons.-Free Press.
Charles Simmons is well
known here having attended the
local school in Cottonwood in
1910 and prior thereto. His

ROB FEM
PosToFF|cE
POSTOFFICE FUNDS ARE IN
CLUDED IN THE LOT
MAN IS HELD.

The safe containing the Fem
postoffice money and the per-
sonal funds of Marion Weber,
postmaster and merchant at
Fem, was robbed Friday night
while Mrs. Weber was in Grange
vile and Mr.. Weber was absent
from the store attending an af-
fair at the Odd Fellows hall.
The robbery was discovered
shortly after midnight when Mr..
Weber returned to the store and
Sheriff William Eller was on the
ground at one o'clock.
Fred Morris, a farm hand on
the Jack Witherow ranch near
Fem. was grought to Grange
vile for examination but has not
been formally arrested.
As near as can be estimated,
about S125 in money and a con-
siderable amount of postage
stamps, checks and papers were
taken from the safe. The safe
was entered by breaking off the
combination knob and wrecking
the combination lock.
Henry Rowe and Owen Zehner
who were attending the affair
at the lodge hall, visited the
store about IL o'clock to get
some goods for o luncheon and
at that time they heard a noise
in the rear of the store. They
paid no attention to the matter
because the Weber living apart
ments are in the rear of the
store building and at that time
they did not know that Mrs.
Weber was in Grangeville.
The taking of Morris into Gus
tody for examination resulted
from Investigations by Sheriff
Eller which disclosed tracks in
the snow leading from the bunk
house on the Witherow ranch to
the store and then back to the
bunkhouse. The tracts return
ing to the bunkhouse were much
clearer than those leading to the
store as snow was falling about
IL o'clock. Tracks were also
found where some person had
paced to and fro at a point con-
venient to watch the store build
ing.
Morris claims that he was not
in Fem on tho evening of the
robbery and that he does not
know of any person going from
the ranch bunkhouse to the
store. Jack Witherow, the en-
ployer of Morris, told the offic-
ers that during the evening,
Mrs. Morris, wife of Fred Morris
wanted to talk to her husband
and that he went to the bunk
house in search of Morris and
at that time Morris was not to
be found about the ranch.
Morris will have a hearing at |
Grangeville today. Postoffice
Inspector J. r. Fullenwieder,
with headquarters in Spokane
was in Cottonwood Thursday
having came here from Fem
where he made an investigation. |

B8rnegat Island, N. J.-Sentiment
has saved the Barnegat lighthouse,
the most famed of all the signals along
the Atlantic coast.
Sea voyagers approaching the Amer

In the future can look at the blinking
light at night or the solid old tower

To neither the United States light

marker.
Barnegat City decided to do Its
share, and agreed to an increase In
the tax rate of 80 cents. This, it was
estimated, would produce $4,000. Then
the Long Beach board of trade got
into action and this resulted in a col

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
Science of Merchant Shipbuilding
and Naval Architecture.

John Willis Grifiths was the man
who revOlutiOnized the science of mer-
chant shipbuilding and naval arChi-
lecture. In 1S41 he appeared before
the American institute in New York
and proposed a model for a new ship.
He succeeded in Interesting William
ASpinwall, one of New YOrE's China
trade princes, who in 1912 signed a
contract to build a ship of 80 tons
according to Griffiths' designing.
The ship was completed in January,
1915, and named the Rainbow. The
Rainbow sailed for China in Febru-
airy, and was back home again in Sep
TENDER to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost.
John Willis Griffiths was born in
New York in 1909, and died there
In 1882. He was the inventor Of the
trap style of hull construction; the
builder Of the United States steamship
Princeton, the first twin screw ocean
going vessel. and was the inventor
Of the process of bending ship tim
Der in a vacuum. In 1851 he pub
liShed privately a treatise on naval
architecture which attracted compare
lively little attention in this country,
hut its merits were recognized in Eng
land and he became a lecturer in Ed
inburgh university on naval architec-
ture.

Dinner for Ovspeptics

Sir Henry Holland, the late Lord
Knutsford's father, gave what is not
too cOmmOn-a really pleasant piece
of medical advice. He recommended
his dyspeptiC patients to go out to din
ner and eat made dishes.

ents of this advice, found it to a con-
siderable extent justified

Why ACTORS Hate Cats"

Speaking at the international WOm-
ems Franchise club In London, Miss
HOrniman, the English theatrical man
ager, told some entertaining stories OF
theatrical experiences. Actors can
stand a good deal, she said, but they
hate cat, for they know that as long
as II Is on the stage the audience can
look at nothing else. Miss HOrniman
had some amusing stories of the
Gayety cats. Trixle, who was killed
on the scene OF her public triumphs by
the fall of the safety curtain, once
spoiled the last act of "Hindle Wakes"
by getting under a table where the
actors could not see her. but the audi
ence could. and cheeTfully pretending
to chase a mouse. Then strOlling
across to the stage fire, she turned
from it with disdain and settled her
self for warmth among the fOOtlightS
Another cat intruded into a quiet
scene of tragic farewell and led the
shOrt-sighted lover on a futile chase

EarIV Irish History,

In the earliest time of which there
is any record, Ireland was inhabited
by tribes of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit
0nS of the larger island, and the Gauls
Of the country now known as France
Each tribe had its chief, and after a
time a supreme monarch came to the
front One of the most famous of
these was Brian, who overthrow the
invading Danes In the battle of ClOn-
tart fought in the year 1914 near Dub
lin. He was slain in his tent at the
close of the fight. After his death
the supreme monarchy was often in
complete allegiance, misrule and an
archy widely prevailed and the ancient
form of society was largely broken up.
1t is said that ROderick O'COnnor. son
Of TurlOugh, was the last of the mon
archs of Celtic Ireland. From that
time the influence of AnglO-NOrmans
increased.

Radioactive Lead.

At least two kinds Of lead exist,
writes Prof. Theodore w. Richards in
Science. One, the ordinary metal dis
seminated throughout the world; an
other, a form of lead apparently pro-
duced by the decomposition Of uran-
ium, radium being one Of the inter
mediate products. If we leave out Of
consideration the probable inessential
difference in radio activity, the two
kinds are very closely II not exactly
alike In every respect, excepting
atomic weight, density and immediate
ly related properties involving weight,
such as sOlubiIity. Th0rium lead aD-
pears to be a third variety, with sim
liar relations. Shall we call these sub
stances different elements. or the
same?

sheep-Raisino Old Industry.

Sheep raising is perhaps the oldest
Of all industries, for it was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is
product of cultivation or dOmeStica-
ton, for there are no Wild animals
which closely resemble the wOOl-bear-
ing sheep, Floyd w. Parsons, in the
Saturday Evening Post. says that with
the discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full in this pursuit, and their endeay-
OrS along this line resulted in develop
ing a fleece Of great finenesS. After the
conquest of the Iberian peninsula.
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain, where they so greatly improved
the native fiOcks that even during
Roman supremacy Spanish wool led
the worlds markets, prestige held for
many centuries.

Forming a child's Ideas.

Priceless opportunities belong to
mother to give to the baby, with his
whole life before him, the true fOun-
datiOns of character and chances of
future happiness and greatness. So
the first thing a wise woman does is
TO reason the matter out, deciding on Il
method of action which can be pursued
with as little deviation as possible.
Preparation is needed, for just as love
Ices not bestOw a mysterious instinct
rs 10 the proper physical treatment of
= baby, so affection alone will not
prove a sufficient guide or teacher in
the matter of character training. One
has to cultivate the power of restrain
ing impulse, of infinite patience and
infinite self-cOntrol and firm grasp Of
those principles which under1ie the for
nation of character. BY possessing
these powers herself, the mother is
able TO direct Child'S conduct and to
suggest motives to him at a time when
his impulses are natural and his ideas
get uniformed, when he will learn lit
orally unconsciously.

In prehistoric times, when man had
to compete with wild animals in the
struggle for existence, he often took
refuge in caves and caverns.
Few people know that there are
still cave jewellers in EurOpe-in
France in fact, not 100 miles from the
great city of Paris.
The most celebrated Of these cave
villages are those of Bourre and of
ChisSay Qndre ct LOire) of BrantOme
and Eyzias DOrdOgne). The inhabi-
tantS of these villages live in caverns
in the rocks. These houses or dwell
ings are aired both by an opening in
the front and by the large chimney
which prOtrudes above the ground.
They are occasionally two or three
stories high and are provided with
ceilings and floors. These habitatiOns
of several stories are occasionally dug
out at the side of cliff Upon enter
ing one of the dwellings one is struck
by the cleanliness which reigns there
in. The furniture is usually of a very
antique and ancient character, al

pieces of modern types will be seen.

SHAFT IS WELL PROTECTED
WASHINGTON Monument Made Immune
From Lightning by Scheme That
Has Proved Its Worth.

The apex of the Washington mOnu-
ment is surrounded with parallel
bands. The bands are studded with
golden points. The bands are made OF
gOld-plated iron foot wide. and
the points are spaced a foot from one
another.
According to the original plan OF
the monument it was protected from
lightning by an aluminium tip that was
connected with the metal framework
of the elevator. During the very first
summer after the monument was COM
pleted, however, it was struck twice,
and a piece Of stone was Clipped from
the top.
Experts from all the scientific de-
partments of the government were
called on to, cOntrive a plan for the
better protection Of the shaft. They
agreed on a number Of iron bands,
heavily galvanized and gold plated, to
prevent rusting.
The bands are connected with the
aluminium point Of the monument, and
the framework of the elevator, and ar
the base iron cables lead the electric
ity into a deep well, where it harm
Iessly expends it's force. The prOtec-
ton has proved to be perfect.

LIVE UP 70" THE CHILDREN
Of Repression and Stern Punish.
ment for Trivial Offenses.

1t seems to me a great mistake to
live down to" children. They are
capable Of understanding and respond
ing to deep and fine thoughts and feel
ings. Never from the first did we criti-
cize or humiliate our boys in any way.
We gave them credit always for the high
and right motive. and suspended judg-
ment till they had told their side. But
If they were wrong they were not pun
ished. The fact that they had fallen
below what had been expected Of them
was punishment enough. A certain
standard of conduct was thus estab-
lished that they lOnged always to real
tze. They were able, even then, to see
the beauty of certain qualities and the
ugliness Of others. 1t was lovely to
see them trying to conform to the hab-
it in the household, Of unfaiIing
courtesy and unseIfshness and re-
straint. They often failed. They often
showed their temper. But they grew
to be more and more ashamed of their
failures.
Character cannot be built from the
outside. Coercion does not make for
strength-Only for compliance. That
it seems to me, is the great mistake
some parents make. They exact Obedi-
ence when they should instill princi-
pie. Inspire! That is the better word
Then the child will have an inner
light to guide him, a compass to steer
him to a certain goal.
When the guiding hand is lifted, 50
many are left with no deep cOnvie-
tiOns-principles to shape their des-
tiny-but impulses. They may be good,
they may be bad, as life plays upon
their emotions and desires. To trust
to them for guidance is like going out
upon a stormy sea in a tiny craft at
the mercy Of tossing waves and wind
