Eight automobiles left Grange ville Wednesday containing play- ers and fans for the volley ball game to be played tonight at Kamiah. Grangeville sent a team in each of three classes, men’s, girls’ and boys’. At 8 o'clock Wednesday morn- ing fire was discovered in the Berry second-hand store occupy- ing a roomin the Grangeville Savings & Trust block. An alarm was sounded and the quick re- sponse of the department caused the blaze to without material damage result- ing. Lawrence Thompson of Stites, pleaded guilty in district court to possessing intoxicating liquor, was fined $100 and sentenced to sixty days in the county jail, by Judge Wallace N. Scales. The fine was taken from $500 cash bond that had been posted for Thompson, and the jail sentence was suspended, on his good be- havior. The Grangeville Commercial club met Wednesday the session being one of the most interesting held for some time. Heated discussion took place relative to! for main and tail hair.

More than $215,000 have already been ex- pended on this road, the forest service expending $160,000 and people of Grangeville and Mt. Idaho about $50,000. Owing to its unfinished condition it is on the verge of being abandoned and Wednesday’s club meeting renewed interest in the project and doubtless results will be se- cured from proper sources. A rock, assaying $45.47 in gold and $8.60 in silver was found by Ralph Long, in a field on the Long ranch recently. Thinking the rock was mineral bearing Mr. Long sent it to Spokane, where an assay was made. The rock was found on almost the same level as_ the gold-silver property of the Grangeville Coal & Development Co. A specimen taken from the tunnel of this mine recently as- sayed $5.80 in silver.

Dye DRIVE IN: WE’RE EXPECTING YOU AUTO ACCESSORIES MAGNETO AND GENERATOR WORK CANNIBALS NOT ALL SAVAGES | O-s=*==* Herman Melville Has Left on Record a Description of One Almost Lovable Individual. Cannibals are not always the fierce warriors we imagine them to be. So at least Herman Melville tells us in Typee, that delightful story of the South seas. As an example of a gentle man-eater he mentions Marheyo, an eccentric old man at whose house he stayed during his four months of cap- tivity among barbarians in the valley of Typee. Frequently, says Mr. Melville, you might have seen Marheyo take a nap in the sun at noonday, or a bath in the stream at midnight. Once I be held him eight féet from the ground in the tuft of a coconut tree, smok- ing, and often I saw him standing up } to the waist in water engaged in plucking out stray hairs of his beard; he used a piece of mussel shell for tweezers; I remember in particular his having a choice pair of ear orna- ments that were made from the teeth of some sea monster. He would al- ternately wear them and take them off at least 50 times in the course of a day; on each occasion he would go to and come from his little hut with all the tranquillity imaginable, Sometimes slipping the ornaments through the slits of his ears, he would selze his spear and go stalking be- neath the shadows of the neighboring groves, as If he vere about to meet some hostile cannibal knight. But he would soon return again and, hiding his weapon under the projecting eaves of the house, and rolling his clumsy trinkets carefully into a piece of tapa, would resume his more pa- cifle operations as quietly as if he had never interrupted them.—Youth’s Companion, WERE ONE IN MISFORTUNE Guests of Forgetful Man Had Some- what Peculiar Introduction, but it Turned Out Right, A certain gentleman in London used to entertain a grest deal. Every Fri- day night, writes Mr. G. B. Burgin in his “Memoirs of a Clubman,” he would invite us to meet some celebrity at his house. Sometimes, however, the gen- tleman would forget and ask two social lions for the same evening; then some- thing amusing might happen. One night a bronzed and bearded solitary man, very much bored, was sitting on a divan in the charming Japanese room at the end of the host's suite. Another bronzed and bearded man entered and sat down close to him. For a time they watched the crowd in silence through the Japanese curtains. “I say,” one sald to the other at last, “I’ve Just come from Africa and don’t know a soul here,” “Same with me,” the first replied promptly and pulled a card out of his pocket. “I’m invited to meet a silly ass named——.” The other man puled a similar card out of his pocket. ‘“That’s my name,” he said and grinned delightedly. “I'm invited to meet a silly ass named——.” “I’m that silly ass. Come out with me and have some supper.” And they went off arm In arm. Where Birda Go to Die. It is often regarded as remarkable that so few dead birds are found in the country, What, we are often asked, becomes of the thousands of birds that must die annually. A little refiection will show that there is no great mys- tery in the matter. As death draws near all wild creatures, with the singular exception of shrews, seek the deepest seclusion, and in our fields and woodlands there are innumerable nooks and recesses where the tiny bodies would evade attention, A cor- respondent recently stated that he found in a hollow tree no less than the remains of 200 sparrows. Again, in the country, rapacious beasts—rats, stoats and weasels—are for ever on the prowl, ready to pick up anything in the way of a meal that may fall by the wayside. The Best Cosmetics.

Seventh—Good humor, a universal beautifier—Boston Transcript. Living Without a Head, Ants are really very long-lived, con sidering their minuteness. One of Si John Lubbock's pet ants lived into her fifteenth year. They are also tenacious of life after severe injury. Following loss of tho entire abdomen, they sometimes live two weeks, and in one case a head less ant, carefully decapitated by asep tie surgery, lived for 41 days. A carpenter ant, after being sub- merged eight days in distilled water came to life upon belng dried, so that they are almost proof against drown They can live for long periods with out food; in one case the fast lasted nearly nine gonths.
