Once upon time there was a little,

lessly upon the cold, rude world. It
was tossed and buffeted from sanctum

newspaper, and unwillingly held up to
the gaze Of the public. The public
beheld it with Implying eye, showed
no sympathy, and sometimes even
laughed at it,
One day a blossoming humor.st
pounccd upon it, and, after twisting it
ont of all shape and otherwise maltreat-
ing it, sent il to an editor The editor
was cruel, old-looking man, and when
the poor little joke saw him its heart
sank within it and il hoped for no
mercy. The cruel-looking editor seized
it, looked at it intentlv for moment,
and then cast it into the waste basket,
to lie there in security.
ooh, sir" said the frail little joke, 81

Austin, Texas, was recently tried foI
stealing chickens from Col. Percy Yer

fenced to short term of imprison-

Col. Yerger, 10y courtesy of the deputy
sheriff, was permitted 10 converse with
him.
"See here, Jim, I'll like to know how
many of my chickens YOU have stolen

Art Critics.

What commentary upon the judg-
ment of art critics and dealers that
Rousseau, in 1880, in the heyday of his
powers, sold this splendid work ola
Givre'D for 500, and that not till
Troyon's sale, twenty years later, did it
bring price! The experience of both
Rousseau and Millet is but another evil
dence that the only reliable judgment
is not that of any clique nor coterie,
but that of an educated, untechnical
public, whose opinions are fresher from
nature and less befogged with the pref
udices of the schools than those of ar
lists or professional critics. The ver-
diet of dramatic critics upon a new
actor Cf they ever quite agree) carries
so little weight with the theater-going
public that instances are constantly oc-
curing where the stars they condemn
are conspicuously successful; and it is
equally within the competency of the
average unbiased experience and
large roundabout common sense" to

Trimming an Elephants Feet.

The operation of trimming the feet
of circus elephants has to be performed
three times year-once on the road.
once in the fall, and again in the spring.
The sole of the elephants foot is
heavily covered with a thick, horny
substance of material similar to the
three toe-nails upon each foot, and as
it grow thicker and thicker it tends TO
contract and crack, often tanning the
animal.
When the work of trimming is under
taken, the elephant stands upon three
legs and places the foot to be operated
upon across a big tub. Two men hold
the leg down, and one stands on the
animals head to prevent him from
turning. Then the chief operator, with
a two-foot drawing knife, proceeds to
shave off great pieces of horn from the
sole of the foot.
Shavings of horn six inches by four
and quarter of an inch thick are rap
idly cut, the edges of the foot being
carefully trimmed. Often pieces of
glass, wire, nails, etc, which have been
picked up during street parades, are
found imbedded in the foot Some
times these irritating objects work up
into the leg and produce fostering
sore.
When the feet of the elephat Pallas
were trimmed, at Bridgeport, some time
ago, aSarge nail was found imbedded
in the foot, over three inches from the
bottom. 1t was pulled out, and the
wound was syringed with warm water
and covered with tar
Pallas apparently suffered great pain,
but seemed to know that the operation
would give relief. He held the foot
high and quietly of his own accord un-
til all were finished, then fiourished his
trunk, and expressed almost in words
his sincere thanks.
After pairing the foot, each toe-nail is
cut between and then filed down, Civ
ing each foot white, clean look, with
its setting of polished nails.
1t takes about six hours to finish
dressing an elephants feet, and it is
said TO be one of the hardest bits of
work that the men have to do.-Golden

WHY WE OBJECT.
Idaho Enterprise.

In the coming campaign we have
no fight to make neither for nor
against any individual aspirant to
Office, providing that we are satisfied
such aspirant is an honest and reason
ably competent man. We have
adopted certain principles, however,
which we propose to stand by and
maintain to the last. Among other
things we are, upon principle, opposed
to long and oft-repeated terms of
Office. We hold that the natural Sc
quence OF such system is injurious
and detrimental to good government,
whether practiced in the highest or
lowest Office OF the land. 1t is to the
interest Of q republic that as many as
possible OF its citizens shall be ia
miliar with the machinery of its gov
eminent. 1t is this continual chang
ing Of position between the governed
and the governing that gives strength
and vitality to popular government.
The axiom is true that no man is fit
TO be citizen OF republic who is
incapable Of becoming its chief mag
istrate. And no man should become
chief magistrate who will not willing
~ return to the duties Of private
citizen. This is true through all the
descending grades OF Office, and the
truth Of the principle can not be toe
forcibly impressed on the mind OF ev-
cry voter in this country. In Local
county government there are still 9th.
or objections which are apparent and
felt by every individual who under.

affairs. When a man has held Office
for long period he assumes that be
has obtained natural right to the
position, that he is morally entitled

duty bound to support him. He look,
upon all opposition as personal at

becomes mutual to both opposed ant

The case Of II. S. Woolly against
@. l.. Watkins, a registrar of Bear
Lake county, in which tho plaintiff
applied for writ OF naudamus to
compel the registrar to register him,
was heard by Judge c. w. Berry in
the District Court at Blackfoot las,
Monday and Tuesday. The stipula.
ton cited all the facts necessary to
entitle the applicant, Woolley, to
registration, except that he is a mem
Der of the Mormon Church. The APP
plicant endeavored to prove that the
Mormon Church, in Idaho, is separate
and distinct from the church in Utah,
and that the practice and teaching Of
bigamy and polygamy had ceased in
this Territory at the time that the
test oath was, by the Supreme Court,
declared unconstitutional. All the
presidents OF stakes in Idaho APP.
peared and gave evidence to support
these facts. On the other side 1t was
shown that the Idaho branch of the
church was dependent on and COM
pletely connected with the church in
Utah; that the doctrines we're pro-
mulgated from the same books; that
the fittings were paid partially, at
least, TO the general fund, and that
the church could not exist as an in
dependent institution, in Idaho, with
cut its president, or prophet, apostles
and other ecclesiastical officers.
The stipulation by the opposing
counsel was such that the whole case
was gone into, and there appeared to
be no effort at technical restrictions,
so that the decision covers every ma.
terial point at issue.
After hearing all the evidence and
argument in the case the Court took
tina matter under Amusement, and on
the 10Th rendered a decision efIec
lively as follows; The Mormon
Church is an organization which
tssches, encourages or practices the
crime OF polygamy or plural marriage,
therefore member of that organiza-
ton which teaches, encourages and
practices the crime of polygamy or
plural marriage, therefore a member
of that organization comes within the
Inhibition prescribed in the Idaho
Test Oath, and is not entitled to reg
lister or to vote. The peremptory
writ 10 therefore refused.
The decision was quite lengthy
and consisted Of a review of the whole
