Jones, vaguely, while Willie locke at
his ma with wonder and admiration
that one small head could carry all

Say, ma, who was Julius Caesar?

Eph. Daft has received a letter from
l.. +. Batter, who formerly owned the
Bullion sta ge line, which was dated
at Spokane Falls on Mr.. Buffers re-
turn from the C,eur d'.Alene country.
He says that he secured 81 acres OF
placer ground which he will go back
to open up in the spring. Town lots
IN C"ur d'Alene towns are held at
fancy figures, as much as $4,000 hav-
ing been refused for some having
nothing but a cabin upon it which did
not cost over $50. No title exists to
any property there, and all a buyer
gets is a quit-claim deed.

Like and Unlike.

A little experience i'll rhetoric car
make comparisons do double duty. A
preacher whose delight it was to star
tie his hearers said there were three
things which a woman should be and
not be at the same time. FIRST, she
should be like the snail, ALWAYS keep
ing within her own house; but she
should not be like the snail which car
rles all it has upon its back. Second.
she should be like an echo and speak
when spoken to; but she should not
be like an echo which always manages
to have the last word. Third, size
should he like the town-clock and
always keep time anl regularity; but
she should not be like the town-clock
which speaks SO loud that all the town
can hear it.

mammoth stock of European and
American dry goods and notions
TO this end he has marked all his
goods down, but especially clothing.
Black dress suits that have been sell.
ing in this city for $50 he sells for
S22.o0; he also has all-wool suits
from $40 upwards; and pants that
have been selling for $3.50 he now
sells for 81
Everybody who needs clothes for
fall or winter wear had better 90 see
his goods, as really astonishing bar
gains are offered.
This is no humbug, as anyone can
see on visiting the store.
