PLEADING FOR A SICK D0LLLE.

Yes, she's very ILL., indeed; her head is as hot
as mustard,
And she can { eat a single thing, for I've tried
her with cake and custard;
And the doctor says there's only one thing
that's left to do,
To save her precious life. Would you do 1t, IL
you knew?
Oh, please, mamma, don't laugh, and don't
say: THAT depends"
You're her grandma, and you ought to be one
OF her bestest friends.
He says she needs fresh air, and what Johnnie
calls ~ lark"
And the only air that's fresh enough is what's
blowing in the park.
And he says she ought to have red straw
berry iCe-cream;
And she can't go in the cars, for she mustn't
smell the steam.
Aud he says must go to hold her, and not to
let her cry;
And if there's no ice-cream, to give her a little
pie.
You know my grandma gives me what want,
when am ill;
And you know that you're her grandma
now, please Just say you will.
IL she cries, she can't get well; and you'd not
like folks to say
That I've better grandma than she has, any
way.

A Kind-Hearted Boy.


A boy of twelve years of age went up
Austin avenue at such rate OF speed
that everybody who saw him, was salts
fled that he must be going for doctor,
or, that he was being pursued by de-
tective.
A man with kindly expression OF
countenance, seized the boy by the arm
and anxiously asked him.
sonny, is there anybody sick at your
house?"
mo, sir; but there will be somebody
dead at our house if you don't turn me
loose right off. "
WHO is it that is in danger of dying
your father?"
'Will you let me go if tell your"
"Yes."
"Well, then, it's brother Bob. He
will be Strengthened for the grave before
night if you don't let me go. We have
got green corn, cucmbers, and clabber
for dinner, and if ain t there to take
some of his share away from. him he
will eat until he founders himself-and
dies. Please let me 60, so that Pkill
be in time to save my little brother $
life. I'm awful hungry."-Ieras Sttl-

Wife Murder and Suicide,

ZUMBRorA, MINI, May 25
Last Saturday afternoon Trabjein
Kittleson chopped his wife to death with
a Ratchet and then committed suicide.
Kittleson and his wife had been having
trouble for years. Over a year ago he
attempted to kill her with knife, but
failed. The matter was settled, and since
that time they have been living together.
She applied for divorce recently, ara
he was in Zumbrota Saturday on business
connected with the suit. Upon his re-
turA home they quarreled and he attacked
her with Ratchet, cutting her about the
mead and finally cut her throat, and then
served himself the same way. Physicians
We're summoned, but they were both
dead before aid could reach them. They
were between fifty and sixty years of age,
quite wealthy aud leave several grown
children,

The Parsee.

You can always pick out n Parsee by
the style of hat he wears 1t starts
vertically from the head for an inch or
so. then turns abruptly back at an
angle OF sixty degrees, and so runs on
the anterior portion for seven or eight
inches, when it is suddenly cut off at
right angles, which makes the posterior
portion, which is parallel with the face,
only about three or four inches long.
The top is left open, save that inside
and directly upon the head rest several
folds of silk. Were not the hat itself
made of purple silk it would look fo:
all the world like an old-time coal
scuttle. A Parsee never smokcs--thjs
is matter of religion with him--but he
enjoys long glass of brandy and soda.
AS the Jews have come to be regarded,
so the Parsees, one and all, are reputed
rich. Let one dress as meanly as he
may, still he is reputed to have money.
They are the Jews of the East. Their
native home is Persia, though for a thou
sand years but few have lived there.
They have made home for themselves
in and about Bombay, but many are
scattered in towns throughout the
whole coast from Corea to Arabia.
Their religion is not the religion of In
dia-neither Brahmanism nor Buddhism
but the ancient religion of Persia as
given to the Persians by that highly
mythical parsonage, Zoroaster, and set
forth in the Zend-Avesta.- Catholic
World.

Reward or POliteness.

A group of boys stood on a street.
corner discussing their respective
chances of success in answering an adj
vertisement for an errand- boy in a
wholesale dry-goods house near by.
Their names and addresses had already
been registered, and they were sent off
with the remark that the "best boy
would be sent for when wanted" 4
While they thus stood talking an old
man, with hair white as snow bowed
back and trembling hands, came slowly
and unsteadily down the street, the only
support to his feeble limbs being his
stout cane. When a short distance
from the boys the cane dropped from
his hand and rolled into the gutter.
"Look there, Billy" said one of the
boys, "the old mans swamped.
At this all the boys but one broke out
into loud, uncouth laugh.
"He's shivering as if the winter wind
was blowing" joked another.
But Harry Walton looked serious, and
rushing to the gutter, picked up the
cane, wiped the mud and water from it
and handed it back to the old man,
touching his cap respectfully as he
said:
Otu dSSlSI you, SlI'
Thank you, my man; you may help
me across the street"
"With pleasure.
And Harry, taking the old man by
the hand, assisted him over the cross
ing, and even opened the door of the
store for him to enter.
Once inside, he was led to an easy
chair in the private office.
well, father | have large list of
names to select FROM" said the son in
answer to his fathers question. "They
all seem sprightly and intelligent, but
the one who suits me seems to be slow
yet very polite; in fact, this char
acteristic pressed itself forcibly upon
me-"
Suppose you summon them all here
and see if can not help you out of your
difficulty" =.
So postal card was sent to each boy
to appear the next day, and at the APP
pointed time they were on hand.
When they were all gathered together
the old gentleman adjusted his glasses
and said that before the selection would
be made he would tell them a story.
And he selected the particulars of the
incident of the day before, and closed
by saying chat he wished he knew who
the hero of that incident was
please, SIR" said one of the boys,
"that was Harry Walton, and he's here
with u.s..
with you, is hep spoke up the old
man. "Then, James," turning to his
son, ''that's the boy for u.s.
"Why, that's the very boy regarded
as so slow" returned the son. ''But [
guess boy who is so polite and consid-
crate for the aged and infrm must pec-
essarily be fitted for the position"
The rest of the boys looked confused
and uneasy, and rs the old gentleman
concluded his lecture on politeness they
departed with the determination to fol-
low his advice.
1t costs nothing to cultivate good
manners, but it pays to have them. The
boy or girl who is polite and civil to
every one, no matter of what creed or
nationality; who practices cvilty on the
street as well as at home, or who has a
kind word or is ready to assist those
who can not help themselves, is always
sure to succeed, not only in winning the
respect and confidence of the public,
but also in getting along in the world.

Riot In China Town.

At about ii o'clock on Saturday night
six armed men hauled up in Chinatown
and approaching the store Of Sam Lee
and the wash house adjoining, began in
a very unceremonious manner to break
in the doors and windows, commanding
the Cinnamon to get out and leave town.
No shots were fired but China Sam i'm
mediatly called in special constable Hill,
who sqnelched the riot. The Chinese
were well supplied with fire arms, in
Guiding several Winchester rifles and in
few minutes would doubtless have
fired upon the intruders, had they not
been stopped. 1t would be an easy
matter for tho Chinese to kill man or
two and never suffer for it. They have
post holes in their houses and could
shoot and kill without ever being de-
tected. 1t is utterly unwise to attempt
driving them from town by such excited
moves or in any other way, and those
who have SO little forethought as to
cause such unprincipled disturbances
require care.

Close Up on Sunday.

4 large number of Ketchum business
men are advocating the practieability Of
closing up OH Sundays. The feeling Is
almost universal at present, there being
but ono or two exceptions, and there is
every probability that, should HALEY
merchants unite in the conclusion to
effect the same regulation, Ketcllum will
not hesitate to follow suit. OF course
ono would not be apt to close alone,
since such n move would throw con-
siderable advantage to the other. Drug
stores must be open sst all hours, and
postofllees at stated intervals each day.
Aside from these and the saloons, which
it would probably beimpossible to close
in this country, our general merchants,
by unanimous action, could close one
day in the week on perfect equality, and
Sunday is the proper day. It would
give business men and their employers
an opportunity to take little needed
rest or drive TO the springs or into the
mountains, and ali would eventually see
the requirement. of an Indispensable
custom. while business through the
week would aggregate the same. Miners,
Transfers and choppers would soon
learn to buy their goods in business
hours, and all would be we'll.

THE ELKHORN SUIT.
II Ia Won BY the Plaintiffs A few Facts
Of the Case.

In the case OF S. 7. Hnnser ct al, vs..
VIM. Austin ct al, upon the restraining
order OF the court, at the hearing before
Judge Prickett In chambers ut Boise
City April 5th, tho injunction of plain
tiffs was continued and the injunction Of
the defendants on their cross complaint,
was Dissolved.
The above decision will be- read with
interest by many readers Of the KEY
sToNE who have for several weeks past
beheld the operation Of trial between
the Elkhorn owners and three lesces
who were granted, last fall, the privilege
Of working certain portion Of the Elk
horn ground on tribute. During the
absence OF T. I. Lewis, Superintendent.
tie lesees went about rs feet beyond the
limit agreed npon In the written instru-
ment OF their privilege, and there began
to extract ore from q large pocket in the
working ground Of the niue and con-
tinued in this illegal work until upon
| the return OF Mr.. Lewis, after two
months, he discovered the fact OF their
| unprivilcged departure and Immediately
placed an injunction upon their opera
tions ana the ore extracted The pocket
worked out probably produced S25,0
| worth OF ore, and this amount OF money
or rather the loss of two iifths OF it was
quite enough to warrant the legal ac-
! tion taken. Soon after tho discontinue
ance Of operations by the lesees, por-
ton Of tho working force Of the Elk
/ horn having reached that ground, as
previously calculated from the main
works, began to extract ore, but was
stopped by an injunction Of the defend
ants on cross complaint. We under
stand that the Elkhorn company made
several propositions to compensate the
leseea for their labor expended on the
wrong ground, but were given to under
stand before the trial that nothing less
thnn three fifths OF the value OF all ore
extracted would be satisfactory. We do
not know upon what pretext the defend
ants then calculated to sustain this pos
sitivo stand, but is now appears that AZ
fldavit was subsequently made to the
effect that Misrepresentation were made
by plaintiffs to induce defendants to
lease. This claim has been clearly
shown by the proof Of plaintiffs to be
unfounded. Under the result Of the
operation the defendants get nothing.
The Times OF Hniley INDUCED in con-
siderable blow about the merits of the
case, previous TO the decision, and ven
tured to state that il would become one
of the greatest mining suits on the re-
cords of Idaho But this, like all Other
prophesies of that remarkable brain, has
met Il natural death and left nothing t.
signify TINT the judgement OF its author
bus ever sayored of eredence.
