A BUSINESS TRANSACTION,

A wretchhd looking tramp went into
an Austin saloon and begged with tears
in his eyes for the bar-keeper to give
him dime with which to get some
thing to eat. He got it. As soon as
he had it in his hand, he slapped it down
on the bar, and said in loud, vocifer-
Gus, pre-emptory tone of voice.
"BEERr'

keeper could catch his breath but then
he was eloquent.
"Wcll, if that amt gall | hope l may

said the mendicant.
The partially paralyzed bar-keeper
handed out the schooner, the tramp

fectly satisfied with that little business
transaction.

CASE FREDERICK.
That Is the Name Of the New Associate
Justice Of Idaho.

The President has nominated Case
Broderick for Associate Justice of
the Idaho Supreme Court. Judge
Broderick is a prominent politician Of
Kansas, having represented Jackson
and Pottawatomie counties in the Sen
ate of that State, for two terms. He
is a large, stout, good hearted, honor
able man, an able lawyer, and about
As years old.
Judge Broderick's nomination eff
fectually disposes of Judge Morgan's
chances for disappointment, and
leaves but one Judgeship vacant in
Idaho. That will probably be filled
by Judge Eastman, of Iowa, who will
therefore become Chief Justice.
There will have to be some under
standing arrived at as to tho place OF
residence of these two Judges, a,
they are understood to both desire to
reside in Haley.

A Reply to the Rev. Mr.. Pratt.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-ln
his sermon, last evening, the Rev. Mr..
Pratt dwelt on war, infidelity, kind
ness, friendship, hatred, malice and
vice, and exemplifed a mothers love
by saying that, if she has drunken
son, she does not say to him: $50
away, you sot! You are the vile of
the vilest! But she returns good for
evil, as | would do. l do not believe
in raging the tiger, for he will bite
drink whisky and use tobacco in
moderation, and l wish to make the
following reply to the Rev. Mr.. Pratt:
81 think an hahitual drankard is no
worse than criminal parents. Rela-
tiyes and friends of common sense
cannot look at him, much less love
him, for he bites as the tiger, but
without raging.
Should the drunkarl bite the rev
erend gentleman hope he will shoot
him. If not, kick him, at least.
