Notice cattle grazing in a field where' thistles or nettles grow See how careful they are to let those disagreeable plants alone That is the reason for the stings and the spines See this honey locust tree bristling with its horrid array of three pointed thorns What animal is brave enough to try to rob it of its leaves or great pods? Hawthorns too and rosebushes and blackberry briers all have their sharp little swords and daggers to defend themselves against browsing animals Out on the wide hot deserts of Arizona and New Mexico those odd plants the cactuses grow in great numbers Some of them take strange shapes tall fluted columns branching candelabra or mere round balls like the melon cactus They are almost the only plants that grow in some parts of that country and there is always plenty of sap inside their tough skins To the hungry and thirsty creatures that roam those dreary wastes in search of food and water they are very tempting Were they not in some way protected these cactuses would soon be entirely destroyed bnt nature has made them to be like strong forts or great armored battleships among plants They are guarded by all sorts of sharp spines and prickles and fine hairs that burn when they get into the flesh HE NEVER LOVED A LORD Bat His Five Girls Married Titles All the Same It was evident that he was not only pretty well satisfied with himself but that he care who knew it "Five daughters" he said "and every one of them married to a title That's a pretty good record for a man who be conaidered rich enough to buy more than one high grade title "1 don't see how you did it!" suggested the man who knew nothing except that the husband with a title was ordinarily quoted at a pretty stiff figure "Oh easy when you know how" replied the self satisfied man "So far as I am concerned I would have preferred to marry the girls to enterprising young Americans with no titles but their mother insisted upon getting them something more fashionable and when their mother insists 1 have to hump myself and see that things come the way she wants them I confess it was something of a problem at first but when 1 got it figured out in my miud and began playing the cards it was so easy that I was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying something harder" The self satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story and then in view of the fact that they were all married and publicity could do no harm he told it "1 took all my available'-assets" he explained "and made them a dowry for my eldest daughter Naturally there was a rush for her and she was able to take her pick of five 1 rushed matters as much as possible got her married gave' up the dowry I had promised and then steered her titled husband against the Stock Exchange where I gave him some bad tips took his trades myself through a broker and won back all the dowry and part of his ancestral estates Then I gave the dowry to my second daughter got her married and played the same game with her husband i worked the scheme right through the family until 1 finally married my youngest to a baronet yesterday 1 got them to postpone their wedding trip for a few days so as to give me a chance to win back the dowry before they had spent any of it and by day after tomorrow 1 expect to be on Easy street again without a care in the world If girls must have titles why 1 am in favor of giving them to them but 1 don't believe in contributing large fortunes to the support of the tottering monarchies of the old world and more 1 intend to do it Chicago Post ARMORED PLANTS Equivocal Yes I suppose 1 have change? very much Gallant Youth: wishing to pays com Oh bnt with yon any chang is for the better Miss Blank 1 Mem phis Commercial Appeal Well Mated "I know what ought to be dene with cigarette fiends What?

Hold-Ups Operating in Caldwell A dispatch from Moscow says: Judge Piper when court opened yesterday morning rendered his decision on the constitutionality of the age of consent act passed by the legislature of 1895 under which McGraw is being prosecuted for criminal assault Although there was some slight irregularity with regard to the record of the bill as shown by the certified copy presented by the defendant's attorney they were no such defects in its passage as shown in that of the fee bill which was cited as a parallel case The irregularity was not such in Judge Piper's opinion as to render the act unconstitutional and void After rendering the decision the trial of the case was resumed All the testimony for the prosecution and the defense was submitted before adjournment Florence Cartwright the 15-year-old victim of the alleged assault was the most prominent figure Her 5-months-cld child was in her arms during the giving of part of her testimony Her testimony was explicit as connecting the defendant with the commission of the act She stated that she consented under promise of marriage The defendant testified in his own behalf that he had gone to the girl's home for the purpose of committing the act hut on being informed by her that several had already been crimi nally intimate with her abandoned his purpose through fear of unpleasant consequences TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Richard Lashbrook Killed in a Kootenai Sawmill Coeur d'Alene Press Last Tuesday just after the dinner hour a telegram was received here stating that Richard Lashbrook son of Mr and Mrs Lashbrook of this place had been killed in (the sawmill at Mnd lake near Hauser Junction The mill had jnst started np after dinner when the accident occurred and it is supposed that the young man stooped over the saws to remove a sliver of wood and that his slothing caught in the rapidly revolving saw His head was cut open from ear to ear and there were several other severe cuts on his face and arms Death was almost instantaneous CALDWELL HOLD-UPS Attempt Made on Simon A Howard Touched Caldwell is infested with a gang of hold-ups The Record reports that an unsuccessful attempt was made to hold up Simon proprietor of the Caldwell Clnb saloon Two masked men entered his place of business about midnight and covering him with revolvers ordered him to open the safe The Record continues: "They re peated their demand in emphatic terms and Simon again gave them a similar answer at the same time making a dash for a water Ditcher under his counter as the handiest weapon of defense He shouted in loud tones at the invaders This unexpected turn in affairs evidently disconcerted them and they began to retreat Mr Simon pursued them with the pitcher and hurled it at their retreating forms as they disappeared through the rear door'' yelling brought an officer to the scene but the two "bold" bandits had fled leaving no clue The night before A Howard was held upra lone horseman near Caldwell and relieved of 98 HIS EYES BLOWN OUT Thomas Hoyt the Victim of an Explosion of Giant Powder Baker City Democrat The news of a horrible accident befalling a miner employed at a

Protect Plants From Their Enemies i "Plants and Their Enemies" is the title of an article by Thomas Rear- ney Jr St Nicholas Mr Kearuey says: 1 There are a thousand things that threaten the well being and even the life of every tree and shrub and lowly herb Too much heat or too little works great harm to plants Then there are all manner of wasting diseases caused by other tiuy plants called fungi and bacteria Many large animals as horses and cows and sheep live by grazing the herbage and grass or browsing the foliage of trees and shrubs Of course they greatly injure the plants they feed upon and therefore many plauts are in one way or another protected against such attacks mm re Boise Tor Pearl dally (except Sundays at 3 Tor Star Emmet' and Falk's Store 1 'except Sunday 10 a Tor Idaho
