| JOURNEYINGS. | ‘We are journeying on through the weart | some heat | To a land that is fair as a dream. Where the fluttering snowflakes will fall | at our feet While the icicles glisten and gleam: } To the land where the shadows bring si- lence and sleep | By the river all frozen and still: | Bo a song we'll sing and our courage | we'll keep | And we'll journey along with a will And when we have come to the wonderful | place, | We will look through the window and | see The pictures of silver the frost loves to trace With a touch so fantastic and free. | The ferns flaunting fine and the Mowers | so fair Will bid us regretfully sigh— | And we'll thankfully take up the journey from there | To return to the summertime sky —Washington Evening Star. GAMING UTENSILS FOR CLOCK Checkerboard, Dominoes, Dice and Card Characters Conspicuous in This Odd Timepiece. The “Gamester’s Clock” would be an appropriate name for a timeplece which appears to have been made with | all the implements for guming that could be secured. A checkerboard furnishes it with a face, the numbers on which are made with dominoes of appropriate denomination, The min- ute hand is tipped with the figure of a@ “heart” and at its short end is a | Novel Timekeeper. “club.” A “diamond” serves to point | the hours for the hour hand, while a | “spade” forms the butt of this hand. The hands are fastened to the clock | with dice, while the top Is ornamented with a row of tenpins and billiard balls. Over the top a row of short bil- lard cues are crossed. No Fleas on Monkeys. Perhaps the most surprising Infor mation gathered with respect to fleas Js that monkeys have no fleas. This Is an assertion that ls commonly received with astonishment and incredulity, but, says Howard Russell! the fore- most authority on fleas, healthy wild monkeys are much too clean and ac- | tive to harbor fleas, and when they are | seen searching one another's fur In a fashion familiar to all of us It Is only to clear their skin of any particles of seurf and dirt. | It may be mentioned, too, that only | one instance is on record where a flea was found on a reptile. This was on a brown snake which was captured near Perth, in West Australia, and which was probably derived from some small mammal devoured by the snake. The | flea was firmly fixed between the scaly | plates of the reptile. The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries, but the only fossil remains of a flea that have | eo far been found Is a single insect in a bit of Baltic amber. The flea Is ad- mirably preserved by {ts seml-transpar- ent surroundings. He Didn’t. Part of the peace celebrations at Little Muchcombe was a_ shooting match for lads under seventeen. Al- | though the judge had his doubts about some of the competitors, he held his peace. The prize finally lay between two marksmen, and the excitement became intense. A small boy of ten or so, who had | crowded close up to the barrier, sud- | denly called out to one of the com- petitors: “Good shot dad! A few more of | those and you'll get the prize !"—Lon- don Answers. Worth Trying. “What do you think of the plan to | do away with pockets in man’s clothes?” | “I think It’s a good idea,” replied the busy man. “It may be the means | of curing some people of the habit of standing around with their hands in their pockete and criticizing other | people who are at work.”—Birming- | ham Age-Herald. | Answered. “You know,” said the lady whose | motor car had run down a man, “you | must have been walking very careless- | ly. I am a very careful driver. 1} have been driving a car for seven | years.” “Lady, you've got nothing on me. I've been walking for 54 years."—De- trolt Motor News. Dad’s Little Joke. “How do you like this necktie, son?” “] wouldn't wear it to a dog fight.” “T'm glad to hear you say that. I'l buy {t for myself. I'd like to have at Jeast one tle of my own that you won't be wearing when 1 want it.” —— .

J. WALSER, OWNER First National Bank, Clerk Harry Cranke, Auctioneer COUNTY SEAT NEWS ITEMS. Judge Scales announces that opening of district court in Lewis county has been postpon- }ed until March 22, owing to the influenza epidemic. Miss Beatrice Duff, daughter }of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duff of this city, was united in marriage to Arthur J. Button, at Sand- point, Idaho, on Saturday Janu- ary 31. J. Frank Sims went down to Clarkston the latter part of last week to secure drugless treat- ments. Mr. Sims has not been in the best of health for some time past. Late reports state there is no appreciable improve- ment in his condition. Harold Harris, secretary of the state memorial commission, departed Wednesday morning for Boise to attend a meeting of that body. This meeting will conclude the arrangements for the counties of the state to take up the matter of memorials di- rectly with the sculptor. He will probably be absent a week or more. Body of Edward Bickford, former resident of Grangeville, | was buried Saturday morning at Lewiston. Mr. Bickford, who} left Grangeville about eight years ago, died in Alberta. He was about 62 years of age. Mr. Bickford was long a resident of Grangeville. He operated a dray line here. He was a member of Mount Idaho lodge, I. O. O. F., and of the local Modern Wood- man lodge. The postoffice crew is seri-| ously crippled this week with the illness of Acting Postmaster J. A. Peterson and Clerk Frank Reynolds. A. M. Ecker has the morning shift, working from 3:30 to 1 o’clock p. m., and W. T. Williams and Charles Simmons now handle the evening mail alone. It requires a little long- er, perhaps but under the cir- cumstances all patrons of the Appeal from the probate court has been taken to the district court in the case of J. J. Lamm vs.,B. F. Zumwalt, for $35.44 dainages, alleged to have been incurred in a collision between automobiles, on May 27, last. The case was tried before a jury in probate court on December 18} at which time verdict was re- turned in favor of the defendant, assessing costs in the sum of $24.90 against Mr. Lamm. Mr. Lamm is represented by Atty. B. Auger, while M. R. Hatta- baugh represents the defendant. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Retrospection is a great toe stumper of progress. A $500 stock of perfumery may look like thirty scents. Somehow the majority of our habits seem to be bad. The patriotism of the office seeker is the greatest ever. The drummer should not try | band. Many a man who imagines }that he is a born leader isn’t }even a successful follower. | Yes, Alfred, it’s true that j}after a man has been married | ten days he doen’t cut much ice | around the house. A man’s descriptive ability usually goes lame when he at- tempts to tell about a waman’s | hat. When half a dozen women get | together they all talk at once. i Jf they didn’t they would never get through. OPEN 10,000 ACRES. Approximately 10,000 acres of reclaimed land in Wyoming and Nebraska ~will be opened to homestead entry early in March, the reclamation service announc- ed. Applications for entry up- on irrigated farms composing a tract of about five thousand e Allsums of $20 under, cash. All sums over that amount 6 months’ © time will be given on bankable note bearing 10 per cent interest. ra aia naa A Cia eg: . ! office should be very considerate! to beat the drum to.beat the! project embracing a large see- | tion of the border areas of each | State, will be accepted from Feb- | ruary 28 to March 5 it was said, | while applications for entry upon | another five thousand acre tract on the Shoshone, Wyo. project, will be accepted during the week following. Drawings will ve made to determine the right of entry in each case where two or more applications are made for the same farm. The North Platte valley tract, part of a project in which hun- dreds of thousands of acres al- ready have been reclaimed, by storeing waters of the Nortn Platte river behind the great Pathfinder dam, will be opened on a water service rental basis for the first three years. When the irrigating system has been entirely completed at the end of that time so the cost can be com- puted and assessed to the acre, the homesteader will assume en- acres in the North Platte valley4 try upon an ownership basis. . ’ -
