gritty, and scrambled up to try it again,


but with the same result.
The chief now signaled to the hunter
to show them how the things worked.
Thomas fastened on the skates with
great care, picked up his rife and used
it as cane, pretending to support him
self. He moved about awkwardly,. fell
down, got up and stumbled around, the
Indians all the time laughing and caper-
ing at the sport. Gradually Thomas
stumbled little further away, whirling
about and making believe it was very
hard work to keep his balance, until he
was near the point where the smooth
lake ice stretched out for miles away.
Suddenly gathering himself up, he
grasped his rifle firmly, gave war
whoop as wild as the Indians own, and
dashed up the lake like an arrow, skat-
ing as he had never skated before. If
he had disappeared in the air the Indi-
ans couldn't have been more astonished.
Of course they couldn't hope to catch
him, over the CLASSY ice, and they stood
gaping after him, wondering more and
more at the magic "ice moccasins.
Nothing pleased old Thomas more in
after years than to tell how he "fooled
the redskins. "-Presbyterion Banner.

OUR JUVENILES.
SftppOse.

Suppose, my little lady,
Your doll should break her head,
Gould you make it whole by crying
Till eyes and nose were red?
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
To treat 1t as joke,
And say you're glad twas dolly's,
And not your head that broke?
Suppose you're dressed for walking
And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear of any sooner
Because you scold and frown2
And wouldn't 1t be nicer
For you to emile than pout,
Andso make sunshine il the house
When there is none without?
Suppose your task, my Little man,
Is very hard to get,
Will 1t make it any castor
For you to sit and fret?
And wouldn't 1t be nicer
Than waiting like Ounce,
To 60 to- work in earnest,
And learn the thing at ones?
And suppose the world don't please you,
Nor the way some people do,
Do you think the whole creation
VIII be altered just for you?
And isn't it, my boy or girl,
The brayest, wisest plan,
Whatever comes or doesn't como
To do the best you can?

Sea FOQ7uS.

They are having great deal of trouble in
Kansas in convlcting anybody of selling beer.
When a man who is known to have fingered at
the shrine of Gambrinus is summoned as q
witness against tine law breaker who sold him
beverage always known as beer, he declares
upon oath that it was not beer but ''sea foam''
that he drank. Of the nature of sea foam he
processes to know nothing, and the judge and
jury being up stump, SO to speak, the case
falls to the ground. The. following
coloquy is taken from the record of trial at
Topeka. The witness was an admirer of sea
foam, but had never taken the trouble to find
out what it was:
Question. Did this sea foam look like beer?
Answer. 1t did.
@. Did it foam like beer? A. 1t did
@. Did it taste like beer? A. 1t did.
@. Could you discover any difference be-
tween it and beer? A. / could not.
+ Q. What, then, in your judgment, was it?
A. 1t was sea foam.
@. What is sea foam? A. don't know.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE On We'd
nesday evening of last week Mr.. Joseph M.
Fletcher, prominent lawyer OF Vancouver,
disappeared, and ne trace has since been
found of him. The last time he was seen
was about half past seven o'clock, when he
was going down Main street towards the
river. Parties have searched for him in
every direction; kilograms and letters fail
to find any trace of him; the river has been
dragged and cannon fired over the water,
but to no purpose. The masonic lodge to
which he belonged offers reward of $50 for
the recovery of his body, or for information
of his whereabouts. His numerous friends
are very much distressed by his unaccount-
able proceedings, which are rendered the
more so by the fact that all his business af-
fairs are in proper shape. Until more is
known of the facts in the case we refrain
from further comment.

Idaho semi-weekly world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1875-1908, 1882-02-24

General Grant is causing a good
deal Of surprise among his friends by
the marked change in his character in
the last six months. Instead of being
determined in his opinions, he has be-
come vascillating. A friend in New
York says the General is becoming
strongly avaricious of late years, and
is going into every kind of speculative
enterprises. His name has appeared
upon nearly every bill board in New
York as Director. The result has
been to lessen his influence, and with
draw from him the confidence of his
friends. At the outset of the present
Administration he was very influential
with Mr.. Arthur, but to-day he exerts
no more influence than any other prom
inent Republican. 1t is he who at.
tempted to bulldoze the President into
appointing Chaffee Secretary of the
Interior. Had he been alone in this
matter, he of course would have made
no impression; but being backed by
Don Cameron and an association of
powerful stalwarts, he has been able
to temporarily defeat Sargent, but
that is all he has been able to accom-
plish.

Origin Of Auctions.

Auctioneering was employed by the
Romans in the early days Of their city
in the disposition Of spoils taken in
war. A spear was adopted with a
red flag attached, both being emblem
atical Of war and blood, which was
and has been continued as the auc-
tioneer's emblem ever since. A mode
of sale was formerly in vogue in vari-
GUS parts of Europe, which was called
"Sales by inch of CANDLE" The arti-
cles for sale were offered in the usual
auction manner. and at the same time
piece of wax candle an inch in
length was lighted. The bidders
named their price, advancing the
amounts one above the other until the
light went out, when the last bidder
was entitled to the goods in question.
At the present day, through the me-
dunn of auction sales, places are es-
tablished for the disposal of all classes
of merchandise, works Of art, litera-
ture, etc, in this country-Boston,
New York and Philadelphia being the
chief cities where, at times, immense
cargoes of the goods above named are
sold to merchants throughout the
States and Canadas, land this mode of
sale has become so necessary, by rea-
son Of public fixed price being given,
that in short time auction quota
tons will govern the commercial trade
in America.
