Writer Gives It as His Opinion That
They Are Actuated Solely by
Selfishness.
One of the most pronounced nuis
ances with which seasoned travelers on
railroad trains have to contend Is the
"open-window crank." This fellow—•
for lie Is usually a male instead of a
female—persists In having his window
open, no matter whether other occu
pants of the car dislike it or qot ; nnd
It usually results in the other passen
gers thereabout receiving u liberal sup
ply of dust and fine cinders, us well
as enough soft coal smoke to last them
the remainder of their lives. These
open-window ernnks ure almost always
occasional travelers. It Is noticed by
those who have taken the pains to ob
serve that the regulnr traveler—that
is, the man who rides every day In
summer—never opens the window be
side the seaf In which he is riding. It
does not mean any more comfort for
him to do so, as lie long ago discov
ered, but much discomfort Instead.
As soon as a railroad car starts to
move there is more or less nir stirring
nnd If She open-window cranks would
only compose themselves a few mo

the only one to oc considered, it is a

to passengers who have the necessary
sense to know that everybody is better
off If the wlndowo are closed on hot
days. And It is nhvays noticed that
these open-window artists invariably
leave the window open when they de
part. The first, last nnd only thought
la for themselves—no one else counts. ' ®

It may not be known to everybody
that In London there exists an exceed

pally to man's best friend—the faithful
dog. Near-the Vletoriu Gate,
Park West, stands the gatekeeper's
lodge, attached to which there is
fair-sized gurden, the lust resting place
of many a favorite pet.
Several years ago a favorite dog
("Poor Little Prince"), which belonged
to the duke of Cambridge, wus run
over in the park, brought to the lodge
and afterward buried In the garden.
A mnrble stone shows the place where

jisiature, the first week of the session!
is now history.
The first efficiency record was
when the house and senate gathered
Monday, botli bodies were able to an
I nounce officially the complete selee
ilion of their governing officers and'
I staff of employees.
J There have been no thirsts of ora
Itcry during the week except the
[.speech of Mrs. Emma Drake, woman;
I member from Payette, who supported I
jher prohibition resolution introduced |
to the house on the first day.
In the house the first bill to pass I
was presented by Young of Ada, which I
provided for the payment of officers, !
members and employees and for the
general expenses of the Fifteenth
session. It carried with it the sum of
$75,000 and has an emergency clause
attached. The bill was later passed
by the senate and was the first to be
come a law.
One of the interesting features ol
the week was a debate on tjie question
of purchasing stamps for house mem
bers, a resolution authorized $10.00 in
stamps for each member being con
sidered and changed to read $5.00.
A point session w r as held Tuesday
Again on Wednesday the house and
senate went into joint session to do
honor to tho memory of former Pres
-dont Theodore Roosevelt. The speak
ers at the memorial service were; For
mar Governor Hawley; Representative
Givens of Ada county; Senator Lloyd
I Warns of Madison; and Judge F. S
Deitrich of the federal court.
In announcing the personnel of th'
house committers, Friday, Speaker M
A. Kiger of that body said': "I haw
had many knotty problems to settle
in my career as a lawyer but nevei
jtmvn I worked as hard as in selecting
I the proper men for the proper places
0,! these committees,''
In computing mileage allowed to
members it wqs found that Represen
tative Moody of the house drew the
largest amount —> $125.60
Young of Ada county drew the small
est —twenty cents.
To one of the women members of
j ' he house, Mrs. Carrie Harper White
is credited a resolution introduced
Thursday, memoralizing congress tc
