He Couldn't Soothe.

A fair young mother with a crying
baby in her arms, sat in a Boise City
stage coach the other day. On the op-
pesite seat was a well known politician
Of engaging BY and-by he said
Let me hold your baby. Perhaps /
can soothe him"
"Oh. no; I'm much obliged; yoa
couldn't help me any," was the answer.
sBut,' he persisted, you had better
let we try"
you are very kind. said the lady at
last, "but | know you couldn't help me,
for he is hungry" ..
A light seemed to dawn on the po.
itician's mind, and he abruptly broke of
the conversation.

OF the half hundred young fellows
graduated at West Point this year,
three, it appears, have pocketed 800
apiece in lieu Of a commission, DOTTED
their uniforms, and subsidized into the
plain prose Of civilian life. The theory
of West Point is that the government
educates, lodges, clothes and feeds prom
ising boys for a term o. years in order
to secure the benefit Of their services at
the expiration of this term, as officers of
the army. In practice, IL seems, the
government offers u bonus to the boys
MOTTO even attempt to make any return
for their education. This may strike
non-military readers as a queer way of
doing business.

A French park-keeper recently OF
served at Autouil a man and a woman
deliberately throwing a little girl into
the Seine from a boat in which they
we're seated. The keeper followed up
the boat and arrested the two occupants.
They landed, while another spectator
rescued the child from the water. On
being taken before a magistrate the pris-
oners declared that they threw their
daughter into the Seine to teach Ler to
to swim.

A scientific journal says that cats
can be made tender and quiet by play
ing soft, sad music to them They can
also be made quiet and tender by tying
a rope to their neeks and throwing them
into a crack, wh;ch IS much easier than
hiring an orchestra.

the additional guarantee that the ex.
cursionists will be brought home much
earlier. Those who missed the other

get hungry before you get there. Put
your lunch up in such a way that after
it is devoured you will have nothing
to lug around or take care Of Att the

had for 30 cents, which is as cheap as
can be cotton anywhere. We shall
endeavor to give full particulars next
week, bat in the meantime all who
love a day of recreation and sight
seeing should make arrangements tc
