FIRE AT NEZPERCE.

While making his rounds
about 3 o'clock last Saturday
morning. City Marshal Farmer
saw smoke oozing from the I'M
occupied residence owned by MIR.
and Mrs. Roy Thompson, a
block west of the heart of the
business district, and rang the
fire bell a few minutes and then
returned to the house. He found
the interior enveloped in flames
and it was impossible for even
those first on the scene to save
anything of value. There was
little air stirring and the flames
were confined to the one building
which with it's contents, were
totally destroyed.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson
were residing in Craigmont
where some two months ago he
engaged in the garage business
Much of their furniture had
been left here when they moved
as they had planned to rent the
place furnished. 1t was a gooo
cottage type of building and haG
recently been modernized.
The residence was insured fol
$1,000 and the contents fol-
$1400.-Nezperce Herald.

DRIVING STRAIN IS RELIEVED
Side and Watch Road With
Eyes on Surface.

There is way to remedy that neck
and head strain that comes from the
see-sawing of car over rough road.
The stunt is simply to turn the head
to one side and watch the road with
the eyes on an angle to its surface.
If the head is held up straight the
motion of the car will keep jerking
It back and forth, resulting in sort
Of neck strain that is very tiresome.
1t Is not recommended that the head
be turned to one side constantly, but
only as relief from strain.

GIRLS ACROSS THE STREET.
Who They Arc Is One Of New York
Citys Greatest Mysteries
Says Writer.

New York is a city of mysteries In
more ways than one. 1t Is an old
legend that we do not know the names
of the people In the next fiat and. like
most legends. that is not exactly true,
says II writer in the New York Sun
and Globe, but there is one case Of
anonymity which has bothered great
many New Workers and does not ap-
per to have any really good solution.
That is the Identification Of the little
stenographer who works directly
across the court. or even across the
street, at window just opposite yours
which is entirely destitute Of sign or
indication of what sort of place it Is.
More than one man has puzzled over
this problem even to the extent Of
searching the building adjacent to dis
cover an answer to the query in his
heart, but something always seems to
be coming up to block him.
More than one young man has stood
long hours in front of the entrance to
the adjacent building. but stenog-
raphers do not appear to look the same
when they emerge in their street
clothes MS when one glimpses them
through glamorous window.
Probably it is the same way with
young men-that they. too, go unrecoS-
nized when they stand uncertainty
upon curbstone in cake eaters
costume without the identifying eye
shade.
At any rate IL has been suggested
that every business Office should have
some identifying sign upon its side as
well as its front windows and that
there ought to be some way of making
acquainted these young persons who
spend so much of their employers time
in friendly but futile staring across the
great open spaces of downtown New
York.

ROMANS USED SHORTHAND
ouintus Ennius Devised a System Of
Abbreviated Writing Two Cen.
turtles Before Christ.

Although shorthand Is 50 widely
used todny. probably few people reni-
ize that. In different form. II was
popular In the days OF ancient Rome.
The first mention OF nn abbreviated
system Of writitg is made In connec-
tion with the Roman poet Qulntus En-
alus, zoo B. C., who devised scheme
OF LOO signs for his own use. Then
we have Tlutarch's statement that
Ciceros famous Grafton In the Roman
senate. In 63 II. c., was reported In
shorthand.
References to shorthand were made
In the works OF Cicero. Iiornce and
PlIny. and the poet Ovid bears testi.
mony to the fact tbat by means OF
these characters cneAlr's political Sc
crets were borne far over land and
sen. Evidence goes to olshow that the
Sermon on the Mount was reported In
shorthand by 81. Luke.

TREASURE ISLANDS ARE REAL
Many Have Been Searched for Buried
Wealth and Sometimes 1t Has
Been Found.

There are quite number OF Islands
scattered about the world whereon
buried treasure exists. And people
are always trying to find IT,
Quite score Of attempts have been
made, for instance. to unearth the
treasure alleged to be buried on Cocos
Island Yet so far the adventurers
have reaped no reward for their toll.
Fully $4,000 has been wasted,
again. In futile attempts to recover
the pirates hoard" reported to be
hidden near the lip of the crater Of an
actlve-very actlve-volcano on Pa
gan island. In the Ladrone group.
Still. as set-off against many fail
ures. there have been few successes.
There is no doubt. for instance, that u
Liverpool sailor named John Adams
unearthed treasure to the value OF be-
tween f15OOO0 and f2OO,OO0 on Auck-
land island some years back; while
William Watson. n shepherd. recov-
cred In 1858 nearly ton of gold that
had been hidden on one OF the Queen
Charlotte islands. Likewise. two run
away scnmen. named IIandley and
Cross successfully located and dug
