For Two Wki Mis Margaret lteeve Filled ths Executive C'linlr. The news that for two weeks n woman had filled the executive choir of the State of Idaho a thing unpre cedented in this country's history created no end of lively comment throughout the Northwest. The woman in Mins Margaret Reeve, who for several years has held re sponible places about Idaho'n State building, having for the Inst four yearn been private secretary to the Gover nor. When Governor Steunenbcrg and Secretary of State Lewis were called to the northern part of the State on business of the greatest importance in connection with the Stnte'n vast do main of white-pine timber, they were at their wits' end to know whom they could safely leave in charge of State matters during their absence, as At-torney-Oenernl McFarlnml had pre ceded them from the State. It seemed for a time the trip would have to bo postponed, or that one of thoin would have to remain behind, when Secretary of State Lewis sug gested to the Governor that Miss GUN IN THE WOULD TO HtOTECT NEW six tons heavier than the Riant gun shown iioraer miosis, la tue lower liny, so vessel Reeve be left in charge. The Gover nor was almost stunned by the bold plan, but Miss Reeve had proved her self most efficient, being familiar with all the routine work in the building, and the Governor consented to the plan, and Miss lteeve was left at the State house clothed in full Guberna torial authority, which she exercised in a manner that not only gave satis faction to the Governor, but has won her great distinction. Before the Governor and party had been absent twenty -four hour matters of great importance were brought to Miss lteeve s attention. The Gover nor and Secretary of State had loft a numbor of important blanks to whioh thev had attached their signatures, and it was left to Miss Reeve's dis cretion to issue them or not requisi tions, applications for extraditions from Governors of other States, and many other matters. She songht legal advice, but the at torney iuformed her she must depend npon herself, as he did not "care to be mixed np in the acts of any female Governor."

A vehicle to travel twice this dis tance could readily be built, but it would need to be twice its weight in order to accommodate twice the bat tery equipment.

Recently two new hotels were open ed in New York on the same day. Each belongs to a millionaire and each is an expensive structure. One of them, the Astoria, joins the Waldorf and is conducted in connec tion with that hostelry. The Astoria is the most magnificent hotel in the world. Its lowest rate is enough to amaze the ordinary citizen, while it has one suite of rooms for which 9300 day without board is charged. The Mills house stands at the other end of the scale of prices. It was bnilt and is conducted on the theory that a good hotel can charge very low rates and yet make profits. The Mills house is fully as well built as the As toria. Its rooms are as well lighted, ss well ventilated and quite as com fortable. Of course they are small and plainly furnished, but they are bright, clean and healthy. The regu lar price for a room in the Mills house in 20 cents a day. A good meal is served for IS cents, but the restaurant offers a great variety and the guest may spend much more than 15 cents if be desires to do so. It is already evident that thin ex perimental hotel in going to be very popular, and it will probably prove a tliianeiiil success also. llefore noon on the day the Mills house was opened 175 men had taken rooms and 10(1 more took dinner there that day. The average number of guests is now over 200 a day. Mr. Milln insists that his hotel is not intended to be a charitable insti tution in any sense. It is conducted on business principles and its owner believes it will pay. He believes that there is a demand in New York for such a hotel as he has built and that it will be supported by clerks, stu dents and small business men who wont clean, well prepared food mid well ventilated rooms, but who are not nble to pay the usual hotel prices. It is an interesting experiment, and we hope to see it succeed. Atlanta Jour mil. WHAT BARBARIANS EAT. Old Women on Cape Horn Ioh In C'tilnn-ltoji Always Thought KUIule. Darwin relates somewhere that wheu the inhabitants of Tierra del Fnego ore pressed by famine they kill and eat their old women rather than their dogs. The Chinese, however, tend and fatten their dogs carefully to cut. They also consider the cat a choice dich. At Peking and through out China there is no dainty repast without its iillet or leg of dog; the rat is rather a dish of the poorer clasnen. History tells ns that in early times dog was always regarded as on edible animal. The inhabitants oi certain nomen of Egypt piously embalmed their dead docs, but others considered that it was more in conformity to the doctrines of a wise economy to kill and eat them. I'lutarch tells us that the dwellers in Cynopolis, where dogs were honored as divine, made war on the OxyrinchiH, who had committed the sacrilege of eating dogs. The savages of North America, for lack of provisions, often sacrifice their companions of the chase. We are told that before the introduction of cattle the Spaniards in Mexico used the native dogs so freely as food that the species has now completely dis appeared. The Greenlanders and the Kam chutkana also sometimes eat their dogs, but only when reduced to this cruel extremity by famine. In Africa dogs form the food of certain tribes ; in the Ashnntee county the flesh is eaten both fresh 'and dried. And it appears that in the lower Congo region, among the Batekes, there in a custom that must make every friend of dumb beasts rage with indignation before killing a dog for food it is mal treated and tortured, to make the flesh more tender. New York Jour nal. A Fl.hltif Dog. Man is not the only animal which indulges in flHhing. Up at Vancouver there is a man who will back his dog to catch more fish in a day than any man can. The animal is a Newfound laud, six years old, and as a fisher man he is simply a wonder. Every morning he goes ont on a dead log pro jecting into the water several feet. Ue never takes his eyes from the water an it rushes by. Suddenly he leans the fore part of his body and one paw far over the log and then, with tremendous force, strikes into the water with bin paw, clinging to the log with the other three feet and the rest of his body. Seldom does he fail to bit the big null with the stroke, and if the blow does not kill tbo nan out right, a crunch of his terrible jaws completes the work. The blow usu ally lands the stunned or killed fish back over the log into a quiet pool, from whioh it cannot easily escape, A Clear Case. "If the court pleases," said the elo quent attorney for the defendaat, re ported by the Cincinnati Enquirer, "this reptile is clearly a liar of high degree. He claims that he was as saulted in my client's saloon, thrown into the street and his 81 hat thrown after him.
