ITEMS FROM BANNER.
BANNER, IDAHO, Jan.


Ed. WoRLD:-'Tis my turn again
to give you few items from this
place, and if fail to interest you and
your readers you must remember that
items are in proportion to the popuIa-
ton Of this place, which is very small
at present and hemmed in by the
beautiful, which is seven feet deep
and more coming. However. we
knew when Christmas came, and New
Year, too, and had little frolic of our
own, and enjoyed a treat on New
Years Day to fine dinner. Before
the day arrived it was whispered
around town that there was consider
able stir at Joe Commisky's house, es-
pecially in the kitchen We were not
held IN suspense long, however, for
soon every man, woman and child was
summoned to appear before Mrs. Com
misky's table at2 o'clock P N. on
New Years Day. When the appoint
ed hour arrived every one answered
to his or her name. Soon after the
roll-call all were comfortably seated
at the table. Every lady in Banner
was kept busy for some time waiting
on the guests. You Idahoans can
take roast pork and old turkey COB
blers-we take roast veuison, elk and
grouse, with everything else good the
market affords. Talk about your sew
en- baskets; why, twice that number
wouldn't hold the bones that were left
on this occasion. After partaking Of
the splendid dinner some wicked per,
SON proposed music and dancing, and
had we not been minus violin string
an old fashioned dance would have
been the next order But we were
not to be cheated ont of amusement
by the lack of a violin string, so cards
were introduced and all engaged ii
such games as cold maid,' "muggins,'
whist" and pedro
Green Martin, while attempting tc
go from Kempner's ranch to Alex
Sifers' place, three miles west of here
a few days ago, got lost during a
snow storm and remained out three
days and two nights without any fire
or anything to eat. He succeeded il
getting back to Kempner's on the
evening of the third day. under
stand his toes are slightly frozen.

l was standing in front of Haver-
ly's Theater the other evening, watch
ing disappointed people come up to and
leave the box Office, after vain applica-
ton to obtain seats in the overcrowded
houses. Presently Barley Campbell,
who is the manager of the company
now playing at Haverly's, as well as
the author of the really admirable play,
"The Galley Slave,' now on its fourth
successful week there, came up. His
tall figure, his SLOUGH hat, rather ,di-
sheveled hair, twelve-corner mustache,
Prince Albert coat and disordered neck
tie looked just as they did when first
saw their owner, some years ago, when
his luck was way down. The state
ment Of the nights receipts was brought
while he stood there, and his share was
a few dollars more than 5000. aHouse
not as good as last night he said,
"within couple of dollars. Fact is.
the business, although good, has not
been what it might "Why, BARLEY,

A Public BenefactOr.

"Down at Hornellsvillen the tall, thin
passenger remarked, "some of the bows
were telling me about a young fellow
who lost his wife. They took her re-
mains to some remote point, her old
home, | believe, for interment. On
their way back home, the bereaved
husband, accompanied by the physician,
stepped off the train at dining station
for little refreshment. When they
went in they saw a man at the lunch
counter, his elbows squared, and his
jaws working like an electric machine.
When they went in he was standing
about midway between the ends of the
counter. The physician and the mourn
er couldn't help noticing that every
thing On the counter below the man was
gone; cleaned out, devoured; and ev
cry thing above him was untouched.
Steadily the man worked his devastating
way towards the bountiful end of the
counter, and the other passengers stood
back to see fair play, and give the coun-
ter chance. In time the man worked
his way clear and clean up to the wall:
he surrounded the last sawdust sand
wich, he wrestled down the last piece of
waterproof mince-pie, he choked little
On the last plaster-paris cast of dough-
nut, but he got it down Then, with a
profound sigh, gazing along the wreck
strewn counter, he walked away with
the air of man who had just sacrificed
himself for the good of his fellow-men,
saying in tones of triumphant satisfac-
ton: There by gaul! The next fellow
that comes along here viii get something

FASHIONABLE GIFT.GIVING.

Wen, what was to be done about it?
Mrs. Waters looked ruefully at TIL,
five-dollar bill reposing in solitary stat,
in the inner compartment of her pocket
book, and pondered. In the first place
there were the muffs for the girls. 4
would take the whole of the five for then
alone, to say nothing of the other things
Clearly, they must be given up, and She
had been promising for so long time
to get them, too. 1t was too bad!
Then, there was the scarf for Clara,
and the fur gauntlets for herself, and
Mrs. Weeks's bill and the balance on
kitty's birthday gift, and dozen other
things, all to be paid for out of that pal
try five dollars. No wonder Mrs. Wa
tiers groaned as she contemplated these
impossibilities
"Why, could use fifty dollars this
day, and then not get half we need. ;,
said she, despairingly, tapping her foot
nervously on the fender "But Il. can ant +
get any more from John, for he said
when ne gave ME this bill, this morning,
that must make it hold out as far as
possible; he positively couldn't spare
any more for month to come; his bills
were falling due, and he would be dun
ned to death, for he could not collect
any thing that was coming to him. Oh.
dear! it's q dreadful thing to be so
stlnted, and the little rocking chair on
which she sat rocked back and forth ex-
citedly.
Mrs. Waters was by no means an ex-
travagant woman, and her complaints
and wishes on the morning in question
should not be so construed. In fact.
her husband proudly declared her to be
the pest wife In town. She was eco
nomical and industrious, as the neatly
mended garments of her children often
testified, while her WORKOUT dresses
were transformed into stylish frocks for
the little ones by her own deft fingers.
A wasteful woman, or one less skilled
In household management, never would
have been able to "keep up'' so re-
specially il every particulr as did Mrs.
Waters. Perhaps pride and ambition
mad something to do with it, butt SO,
1t was certainly apardonable pride. and
an ambition not wholly unworthy, which
made this mother so careless in her own
case, and so cheerfully endure MANY
sacrifices, that TIE family might ALWAYS.
as she expressed it, "put the best foot
foremost"
But she could not sit longer, thinking
over the best disposition of her finances.
Time meant something in that busy
household, and here it was almost 10
O'Clock, and the busting to be done vet.
and at any rate, thinking the matter
over forever did not make the problem
more clear, she argued.
I'm pay Mrs. Weeks what owe.
and the balance due Mr.. Todd. and
with what is left I'lltry to get the scarf,

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

Only bank of weeds, of simple weeds,
OF sweet wild thyme and yellow, scented
broom,
OF tangled grass and slender wind blown
reeds,
OF brown notched ferns and tall spiked fox
glove bloom,
And yet a world of beauty gamers there,
Low -twitt'ring birds, soft scents, and colors
fair.
Only narrow mound, a long, low mound,
snow covered, meath Il wintry, leaden sky
Unit by moon or stars and all around
Through bare, brown trees the night winds
moan and sigh.
And yet worlG of love lies buried there.
Passion and pain, bright hopes, and dull de-
spair
Oh, golden bank, where sunbeams CLINT and
play,
Bloom out in fragrance with a hundred flow
erS!
Oh, marrow mound, keep till the Judgment
day
The mournfuI secrets of these hearts of ours /,
Ihen In Gods light let joy and sorrow fade,
FOR near His brightness both alike are shade
