Lovely Idah, Climate.
SCRIBE.

At this season there is a clearness
and freshness to the atmosphere that
is an unknown quality to the air of
many other portions of the earth.
The mountains snow capped all around
US purify the air and give it that
freshness so rare to the air of the
broad prairie lands and level regions.
One marked popularity Of the climate
of North Idaho is that during the day
time, even at the season of our hottest
weather, breeze blows quietly from
the north, and at night time, with the
closing of the day, the northern breeze
subsidies, and from the south steady
breeze blows during the whole night.
Hot, dry nights are unknown, and
even with the thermometer at and
above 100 degrees, such thing as
sunstroke is yet to be recorded. If
the same bodily care should be exer-
cised by each individual for the pres
ervation of his health as is done in the
east and in our less favored portions
Of the earth, no country or cline could
boast of a more stalwart class of men
and women than those who may call
themselves natives of Northern Ida
no. On the contrary, if the habits OF
over indulgence practiced in our west.
ern camps and cities were sanctioned
and followed by the people in the
older and eastern states humanity
there would soon be extinct.

Reputation.

The care of our characters is left
with ourselves. Our feigned friends
are the only persons who regard our
reputation as common property, a
common prey for their attack The
difference between q feigned friend
and an enemy is that an enemy is a
person of principle and honor; a
feigned friend is a coward who ma
ligns character and slanders reputa-
tion and is so friendly that you can
not kick him away. A feigned friend
smiles on you when he meets you,
even while he is hunting the sewers of
society for bits of slander and un-
pleasant things to scatter broadcast
against you; but these attacks of
feigned friends, though they cause
momentary pain, will make firmer the
good character that feigned friend in
tended to destroy. Feigned friend
would deface by throwing filth upon
the luster of tho polished marble
wrought by years of life and labor,
but the polish of the marble remains
unchanged. So it is with character
when assailed by our feigncd friends
it also remains unchanged.

We hand folks over to Gods mercy,

There are calumnies against which

A Patent Alarm Bed.

Mr.. WASHTUB is the name OF the
gentleman who won't stop at an up
country hotel again. 1t seems that the
clerk had to get up very early in the
morning. and finding difficulty in wax.
ing, built patent alarm bed in &C.
cordance with plans given him by Mr..
Edison, who once stopped at his house.
The bed had powerful clock-work at
tachment, and at set hour it would
arouse any man who wasn't dead. The
day after they got the thing set up in
the house there was great rush Of
guests, and the clerk in order to &C.
commodate Mr.. Washtub gave up his
bed to him. He also forgot to shut of
the alarm, and the result was that
about four O'Clock in the morning Wash
tub was aroused by a most terrible
racket. He open his eyes and sat up
in bed, and then he heard voice,
which came from a photograph attach
ment to the bed, exclaim: "You old
mucker, pile out!' If he had under
stood the thing he would have hop
ped out of bed and shut off the alarm.
But he didn't and thought it was
burglars. So he lay down again and
pulled the covers over his head, and
the bed began to shake violently, and
he thought it was an earthquake, and
was terribly scared. The bed shook so
that he had to cling to the mattress to
keep in, and finally the bed seemed to
rise up right under him, and he was
hurled violently to the floor. He tried
to rise, and just then the mattress came
off upon him with great force and floor
ed him again. He had . terrible time
getting out from under them. and just
as he did so, and gave q wild yell for
help, shower of Ice water came upon
him, and then the stats of the bed
began to whack at him, and as
he could see but little in the dim
light of the room, he thought he
must have gone to sleep in a threshing
machine, and some one had started it.
His yells finally brought the landlord.
who stopped the machine, and tried to
calm the terrific guest by explaining
the thing to him. But the explanation
only made matters worse, for the victim
lost two trains stopping over to lay for
the clerk. who had found out what he
had done, and kept out of the way
