Note that Camels are completely en-

We call this outer she'll the Humidor

enjoyment.
1t means, for instance, that evapora-

this connection we are told that his bride
brought from her Maryland home upon her
marriage a large number of slaves, which
proved a great annoyance TO Mr.. Watterston,
who discharged them one after the other CIV
ing quarters to some to live by themselves, and
wholly emancipated the Others"
MR.. wATTERSTON took an active interest
in the political life of Washington, edited
several newspapers, wrote few novels, and
kept his pen busily employed in other ways.
AS a citizen he seems TO have been popular, and
even spoken Of in complimentary terms by
Ann Royal who rarely If ever paid undue
praise. Mr. Johnston tells of an amusing Incl
dent that took place at the trial of this noted
woman, when Mr.. Watterston's name
brought in. I'm the course of the trial." it
seems mr.. Tins, doorkeeper Of the Senate,
being called, was asked whether he knew OF
Mrs. Royal slandering any one. He promptly
replied, Yes; she has Slandered me; she called
exemplary man = now that's SANDER?
This was considered very funny; the court
roared; bench, bar and jury all lost their
balance. Tins himself was the only man left
unmoved. He looked around grave an owl;
just opposite to him stood Mr.. Watterston
laughing immOderately. Tins catching sight OF
him again opened his oracular jaws. Yes, SIR
said he, I know of other persons whom she
has slandered She says in her book that Wat
terston and Gales are two of the handsomest
men in Washington. Now leave it to all the
world if that is not SANDER all the other
men in the city"
Though Mr.. Watterston may not have rem
dered any conspicuous service at the Battle OF
Bladensburg yet he at least did about as well as
the rest OF those who joined that debacle, and
since there is no record as to the individual who
reached Washington first after the troops were
attacked by the British he may have had the
at a knowing
not he
One worthy thing about Mr. Watterston was
that he was always doing something worth
while For instance when Scotchman named
Whitelaw came to Washington in 1916 and gave
some botanical lectures that proved of much in
terest, Mr.. Watterston was not willing to let
pass into the discard the little bit of scientific
knowledge thus gained, but suggested the for

nation of the Washington Botanical Society,
which took place in the Spring OF 1917.
He also supporter of the Columbian
Institute which was formed about this time.
and in 1921 became a member of the Nine
tenth City Council, serving as president OF
the Lower House throughout this and the fol-
lowing year. In 1924 he became an alderman
and served with few interruptions until 1889
THE saying that 1t is an i'll wind, indeed, that
does not blow somebody some good, had its
application with George Watterston, for it was
chiefly due to the burning of the Library of
Congress by the British in 1914 that Mr.. Wat
terston appointed the first librarian OF
Congress by President Madison on March 81,
1915, and shortly after the purchase of the JET
ferson library by the Government for $23,9S0.
There civil service in Andrew Jack
sons day. and even the smallest position went
toward paying some political debt; in other
words, to the victor went the spoils, and so, on
May %, 1929, Mr.. Watterston was replaced with
John S Meehan and the former again took up
the practice of law and also INDUCED his literary
habits
To show Mr. Watterstons real work in con-
nection with the building of the Washington
Monument, it is necessary to go back to the
Continental Congress and briefly review the
efforts made to erect monument In honor OF
Gen Washington that would in every way De
worthy of the patriot and soldier, and so, on
August z, 1783 it resolved by the Congress
Unanimously, 10 States being present. That
an equestrian statue of Gen. Washington be
erected at the place where the residence OF
Congress shall be established"
On the report of Mr.. A. Lee, Mrs ELLSWORTH
and Mr. Mif1lin committee appointed to pre-
pare plan of an equestrian statue of the Com
mander in Chief" it was further
Resolved, that the statue be of bronze, the
general to be represented in a Roman dress,

DO YOU SUFFER WITH
 HEADACHE ?I

So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future, Avoid bromides and dope. They relieve quick ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They are depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within.
 The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- tines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently stimulate the liver. start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache.

 Hartley, a widely known old-timer, was accused of surreptitiously dam aging two motor tractors and other machinery belonging to the B. C.. government road department, employ ing a pick, which was claimed to have been found later on his premis- es. The pick showed marks of con tact with brass and was found to fit in holes in the radiators of the dam- lged machines.
 Inability to secure immediate em- ployment on the government road crew and dissatisfaction with the fore man are believed to have caused Hartley to attempt destruction of the machines. The evidence given was purely circumstantial, altho pointing strongly to Hartley as the culprit The damage amounted to about S150.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.
The Muscular.

EOR DR.. Charles Francis Potter, the promi
! nent New York .'hlnnanist" minister one
Is bound to feel good deal of respect; but when
he says-as he did, recently-that religion can
not really develop until it becomes scientific. one
is entitled to wonder just what the gentleman
thinks religion is.
1.-The miracles Of science draw our admira-
ton, and by and large the earthly future Of the
race is pretty well dependent on the achieve
ments Of the scientists, according to Bruce Cal
ton. yet while our lives will more and more be
conditioned b vsicence as the years 80 BY, re-
ligion remains III field apart and it always will
TO speak Of scientific religion is to speak Of
something that is quite ncomprehensble.
Science rests on proofs, experiments, pains
taking Winnowing Of truth from the materials
gathered by innumerable researches. Religion
is different. 1t does not depend OH proofs; it
never can, III the very nature of things. 1t grows
ont of faith. which is often highly illogical and
which can never be reduced to a simple cqua-
ton.
what is religious faith, anyway? Is is not
Il compound of various things, born of sense Of
loneliness and helplessness 1t is what mother
believes when she looks down at child that she
has just tucked away in its bed It is what
makes some very old people serene and unafraid
as they slowly go down the last hill and watch
their shadows lengthen in front Of them. Tt is
what the music and the colored lights Of great
cathedral can persuade one Of. sometimes. 1t is
the sudden. unreasonable belief III mankind $
divinity that comes to man, now and then.
when he sees the beauty that his fellows can
create. or malvels at Tile unselfishness and hero
ism Of which they are capable.
.'Now all of that does not depend on science.
It can not. Study the sciences until you are
gray-haired and coordinate all that YOU have
learned into unified and comprehensive set Of
probabilities; YOU may create 4 very fine philos
ophy but Won will not create religion.

defined the religious man as the man who feels
constantly the need of God, longing for God.

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING.

A CCORDING to reports III the daily press
n thousands of men are being put to work III
various industries over the nation. The automo-
bile manufacturers started the good work sew
eral weeks ago, the railroads have announced
that they are accomplishing hundreds OF men,
many of them through this Northwest country.
News items out of Spokane tell OF renewed ac-
tivity in sawmils in that district. In addition to
this cement mills, mines and farm work are en-
listing other men,
It begins to look as though the worst of the
depression is past. A better feeling is apparently
becoming more prevalent.
This is reflected in conditions in Libby.
Local business men are almost unanimous in
stating that there is a very noticeable revival Of
business. One business man said this had been
especially noticeable the past week or two; an
other stated his January business was better
than that OF January year ago. February was
quiet but not any more so than is usually the
condition in other years But many of them
agree that there is evident marked improve
ment during the past 10 days.
No one is expecting an unusual volume of
business this year, but most of the Libby men
are convinced the year will show steady inn
provement over 1890. There is nothing flnda-
mentally wrong with the country. as has often
been said. There is great wealth, highly organ
lied industries and the means for immense pro
duction. The pendulum is sure to swing the
other way in time.

is the sentencing OF Srarface Al. Capone to six
