The President is doubtless convinced that their is rough riding in plenty in the House. The man who desires to beat the beef trust, will do so sure, if he carefully picks out a toad stool, and cooks it for breakfast instead of a mushroom.

In declaring that Thomas Jefferson Jef-ferson was a scholar and a gentleman, gen-tleman, the Hon. David Hill seems to confirm one of Bryan's discoveries, to the same effect.

In Berlin, a city of 1,800,000 inhabitants, there are only fifty churches and alarm is felt at the lack of growth in church attendance. at-tendance. The socialist element is said to be responsible for this state of affairs, and is supposed to be trying to undermine the churches because they have stood with the government. A. W.

Great developments develop-ments may be looked for from the land beneath the Southern cross. It is all very well for the President Pres-ident to ''calldown" Army and Navy officers for their criticism of public men, but how about those"grave and reverend" Senators, Sen-ators, who apply such cowardly and dastardly epithets upon our army officers? Senator Dubois sneeringly calling Gen.Wheaton a "charity student'and Rawlins branding officers in the Phili-pines Phili-pines as"dastardly villains who bring disgrace upon tho American Ameri-can name and people,"etc. It is unfair Jo gag arnay and navy officers while Senators are per mitted to let fly their Billings gate to the shame and disgust of) the American people.

The bill approbating $10,000- 000 for an Appalachian forest reserve has been favorably re ported to the House of Repre sentatives.

Three Chicago children were sent home by their teacher with a note they could not return until un-til they had been given a bath. The mother responded that she would not risk bathing her children chil-dren in the winter. A test case was made of it aud the courts decided that the authority of the school room stopped at the threshold of the home door, though it was possible to give the children a bath at school as part of the school requirement. A fellow named Moon, living out in Michigan got married, That was a change of meon. After nine moons his wife presented pre-sented him with a new moon. The father went out and got drunk for joy, that was a full moon. When he sobered up he had but 25 cents left. That was the iast quarter. When he got home his mother-in-law met him at the door and hit him a clip on the head with the roUiripinL and there was a total eclipse of the moon and he saw starsl Idaho Falls Times. The Iron County Record has the following which is timely and applicable to our locality: "A dangerous practice' is 'that of chasing animals up and down the sidewalks. While attempting attempt-ing to head a steer from a gateway gate-way the boys will often crowd their horses upon the brute in an effort to whip it into the street, and will force it along at breakneck break-neck speed. At such times persons per-sons passing on the sidewalk are in danger of losing their lives. Instances often occur where little lit-tle children are run over this way and are killed or striously injured. The practice should be stopped. If it were possible the animals should be kept off the streets altogether. At least due caution should be exercised in driving them." Gen. Funston delivered another an-other body blow the other night in his Denver speech. He said he had nothing but contempt for those peanut politics that were keeping up the "hurrah" about the cruelty of the American Ameri-can soldiers in the Philippines, as though our boys in blue were fiends incarnate. There is no doubt but now and then an officer offi-cer and soldier have been seemingly seem-ingly over cruel to the enemy, and where that is true it is to be deploied by all humane persons but to keep eternally harping upon the atrocity of our brave boys, is without excuse, for we know, and the world has borne testimony to the fact that the American soldier is the bravest, most humane and chivalric sol-dier sol-dier beneath the starsland those "peanut" polititions are doing themselvss no good by their constant con-stant and persistant tirade against them.

Quotations Which Appear Regularly !n Remarks Upon Ieatl Congressmen ; Some one who has taken the trouble to examine the obituaries of congressmen congress-men which have been delivered in the house during the past five years has discovered that nearly every eulogist employs the same set of poetical Quo tations, says the Washington correspondent corres-pondent of the St. Louis Republic. Evidently Ev-idently the first bunch of eulogies contained a number of appropriate lines culled from the field of poetry and nobody since then has been able to improve upon the selection. Thus, Mrs. Heman's verse: "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set, but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!" Has been ..used exactly 431 times, and seems to be the greatest favorite. It has done duty for nearly every, congressman con-gressman whose praises have been sung after his death. Another popu lar quotations is the following: "A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, Man passes from life to his rest in the grave." The beauty of these quotations is that they can be dragged in anywhere for anybody. The same may be said of these lines from Shakespeare: "His life .was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world: Here was a man.' ' In fact, it has very frequently happened hap-pened that this tribute to the gentleness gentle-ness of the deceased has been used twice and even three or four times for the same mdn. A dozen other quotations quota-tions could be given which appear regularly reg-ularly in all of the eulogies upon dead congressmen. The investigation shows that either there is a scarcity of mortuary mor-tuary verse or else the eulogists do not dig deeper for their poetical quotations quo-tations than the pages of the Congressional Congres-sional Record. There is certainly a remarkable re-markable repetition of the same old lines. Won't Follow Adyice After Paying For It. In a recent article a prominent physician phy-sician says; "It is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course of hygiene or diet to the sma'lest extent he has but one resort left, namely the drug treatment." When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, should be employed. Their use is not followed by constipation, constipa-tion, as they leaye the bowels in a natural and healthy condition. For sale by the Springville Drug Co'. WILL TEACH TOMMY ATKINS. Wyoming Broncho Uuoters to Show the Uritibher Ktal Ilorseinauahip. Jayson Johnson, broncho buster of Cheyenne, Wyo., is now acting as examining, ex-amining, purchasing and forwarding agent in the supplying of the British .cavalry in South Africa with western American mounts.! Within the last year the British government has purchased pur-chased from 50,000 to 75,000 head of horses from the American ranges.5 These American range horses make ideal cavalry horses when they have natural cavalrymen to ride them an article in which the British army service ser-vice is deficient To obviate, as far as possible the shortcomings of the average Tommy Atkins, a corps of seventy Wyoming riders has been added ad-ded to the South African British war establishment, with the special duty; of initiating British cavalrymen into the many and elusive "bucking" mysteries mys-teries of the American broncho. Mr! Johnson expresses the opinion that the present use in the Boer war of American western range horses under British saddles has laid deep the foundations of an almost exclusive British buying of these horses for future fu-ture cavalry service.
