The following resolutions were
adopted by the Democratic conven-
tion Of Latah county:
Resolved, that we heartily endorse
the nomination of Hon. Jas. Fl. Haw-
ley for delegate to Congress by the
Democratic Territorial convention,
because he is an Idahoan, his inter
ests are identified as such, that he has
ever proven himself a straightforward
honest man whose good character has
never been questioned or assaulted,
and because we believe he will have
due regard for our rights and desires.
Resolved, that we are in favor OF
the annexation of the Pan Handle of
Idaho to Washington Territory, and
that we emphatically condemn the
traitorous action of the present dele
gate to Congress. Fred I. Dubois, on
this question, who promised our PEG
pie that he would rot oppose our
wishes on this question if elected
who as soon as he was elected, repu
dated this promise that elected him
and worked hard against u.s.

A farmer once employed u young
man to work on his farm without in
quiring anything as to his habits,
and upon learning that he was some
what addicted to drinking, the farmer
offered him rs reward a choice
sheep if he would refrain from drink
ing during the season. A grown SON
of the farmer upon hearing this, said;
SPA, will you give me a sheep, too, if
| will not drink this season." s'Yes, "
replied the father, 'you may have a
sheep" Then the little boy spoke up
and said: 'sPa, will you give me a
sheep, too, if Ill not drink?" "Yes,
son you shall have sheep also. .
After moments pause, the little boy
turned to his father and said: "Pa,
hadn't you better take a sheep, too?"

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 21-A rumor
gained currency here this afternoon
that one week ago last Wednesday
while the Lake Shore pay-car was ~
ing on tbe side track in Buffalo it was
plundered in the middle of the night.
The robbers bored a hole in the bot
tom Of the car and injected therein
sufficient ether to stupefy the pay
master and his assistant, who were
sleeping within. This accomplished
the robbers broke into the car and
safe, secured $4,000 in money, and
went away unmolested. The story is
denied in Toledo BY the officials Of

The Salt Lake Tribune in the zeal
of its good will and friendship for
Fred T. Dubois, the Republican NOM
inee for Delegate from this territory,
is endeavoring to make the Mormon
issue such a monumental one that
Idaho will soon be looked upon as
thoroughly under Mormon control as
Utah is to-day, and SO long as there
is Mormon in the Territory there
will be no chance for statehood. Not
only is the Tribune going out Of its
province in its zeal for the reelection
of Mr.. Dubois, but it is inflicting a
positive and lasting political injury
on the people of this Territory, which
will naturally effect its industrial
progress, as representation in the halls
of congress is Of vital necessity. The
Tribune, il it wants to befriend Mr..
Duboise, should confine its advocacy
to the real issue-the tariff question
land the less it says in the future
about Dubois and the Mornons the
better it will be for the candidate
especially in North Idaho. We desire
to see an honest canvass, and neither
the Tribune nor H. NJ. Bennett, the
Ananias Of the Republican party
can enforce false issue upon u.s.

"Werc you in that hattle?" said a
lady at the Gettysburg Cyclorema the
other day to the elderly gentleman
who describes the features OF the
great battle to the thousands Of daily
visitors.
81 was, replied Colonel Slocum.
Sand were you wounded2"
Slightly, replied the Colonel.
The lady adjusted her glasses, and
taking long look at the Colonel, said,
AYou were in the Federal ranks?" II
was he said. IL thought SO, said
the lady, removing and wiping her
glasses. 1T was terrible war. My
son was in the Confederate army and
my husband was in the Federal. He
was like his father, proud and hot
tempered, but honorable They differ
ed the father and the son-regard-
ing politics, and try as | would |
could not reconcile them. The father
fought in defence of the North, the
boy in defence of the South. He was
educated there in the family of his
uncle, rich Southern planter, as no
BILE and generous nature as man
was ever blessed with. He had been
kind to my boy, had educated and
cared forShim as though he had been
his own, for he had no children. The
boy grew to love him, and when the
war broke out joined his uncle in the
ranks of the Confederate army. Oh!
what position was mine With the
husband on one side and the son and
uncle on the otherl
lit was on this field they met each
other and their death. How, know
one will ever know, for neither re-
turned to tell the story, Is that Gem
etery Hip" said the aged mother,
wiping the tears from her furrowed
face sit is, replied Colonel Slocum.
They are buried there" said she,
and walked to the edge of the plat
form nearest the spot referred to.
There was another group gathered al
that point, also from the South-from
North Carolina. The old lady con
tinued her conversation in subdued
tone of voice, now calling upon the
father, now upon the son.
Presently, there was lull in thu
conversation, little hustle in thu
crowd, then an exclamation, and TIVE
fnrrowed, tear-stained faces wer
pressed together after twenty-fiv
years desperation. They were sister
who married brothers, becomin
es.ranged because of difference o
opinion regarding the rebellion. Nov
they met, and reconciliation came wit
tears. Was there an unseen han
which led them to this spot after thi
long separation?

residence was built, and furnished in
the most approved style. Paintings,
whose colors exceeded the poppy and
sunfower in brilliancY and frames
that rivaled in price that of the canvas
framed. decorated the walls. Cases
Of books whose bindings Of crimson
and green harmonized most beauti-
fully with the chairs and carpets.
The aspiring parents were soon
rewarded, for the misses Jinks' y
were the reigning bellies of the season,
and their names headed every social
event.
The papers at length described the
brilliant receptions, where crystal
chandeliers cast an iridescent glow on
mountains of natural roses, and ten
thousand yards of smilaX, whose sar-
pentine garlands were woven in a
monogram of intricate tracery, whose
verdant freshness harmOnized beauti-
fully with the cloud-Iike drapery of
orange satin clinging so gracefully
about the angelic form of Miss Glenn
entina Jinks.
"WOnderful!' sOiloquized Mr..
Jlnks, as he read the paper over and
over again. Truly my goose has laid
me golden eggs.
TO think that the daughters of
Peter Jinks, tailor would ever pose as
society queens! 'Tis true that Pat
Snodgrass, whose butcher stall stood
near my shop twenty years ago, has
daughters who rival mine across the
way
This is democracy this! There is
nothing like it. A shining gold dollar
gets over gallon Of blue blood. Hur-
rah for this country, this century, and
the Jinks family of CrabappIe street."
and the thoroughly aroused man tossed
the paper in the air.
"Ah! papa dear, we are so glad to
find You 50 cheerful, for we have q
little suggestion that will please you" "
and Clementina, followed by Juslicia
and Mrs. Jinks, appeared in row be-
fore him.
You must admit, husband DEAR
said Mrs. Jinks, that we are now in
Society but our position can not be
fully established unless we can display
on our door and stationery Il 'coat-of-
arms or a family crest. You know
the name Jinks is just bit
tainted with plebeianism. We think
of adding to it ton, and make it
Jinkston Listen how euphonious that
sounds, and it will harmonic 50 ex-
quisitely with the rampant elk and the
crown for our crest that talented
Clementina is now designing"
THE deucer' screamed the now
thoroughly aroused Mr. Jinks. "The
time has come when | can no longer
submit Bring me the goose" and
rushing from the gsrret with my rusted
honor in his spasmodic clutch, he
stumped me with such force upon the
marble slab that it was rent in twain.
Here is your crest, woman! En-
grave this on your door and your card,
and the only coat of arms that you
can ever honorabIy own will be the
arms of coats thar your tailor parents
pressed with this goose into his pa
irons suits. Let this be the insignia
of your social station"
That closed the scene. I remember
nothing more. Atlanta Constitution

Food and Morality.

Prof. z. T. Miles, Of the faculty Foi
the University of Maryland, delivered
a lecture to large audience OF young
man recrntlv. on Food and Diges-
ton" In the course Of his lecture
Prof. Miles, in speaking Of the effects
of an insufficient quantity OF food,
said: The fat disappears first, then
the muscles waste away, and lnal!y
the bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
are nourished to the last. Like 4 king
in beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nober
organs are longest nourished. In
starvation there is not simple hunger
of the stomach, but hunger OF the
whole body 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things. 1t produces
insanity, and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
flesh that is to cannibalism. There
are millions Of people who have not
enough to eat. 1t is at the bottom OF
anarchy The police may give them a
loaf of bread, but the whole body is Ill
nourishcd and 4 restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
grown-up people Of the mAal
classes, but the child criminal comes
first. The criminal classes are called
dirty, lazy and ugly Of course they
are. They are dirty because they have
no spare heat to let 60; lazy, because
the muscles are weak and nature tells
them to keep still when hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the taircst
women is made up of fat. The Grim
inaI classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat How could Il child whose mus
cles and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected to have sI
the 5ympathies and instincts Of Il high
er class of society? An everyday Sab
bath-schooI with breakfast before the
lesson would be a capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
themselves are to blame for their con-
dition by living too Iuxuriously. One
of the most intense cravings of the
Groely Arctic party was for sweet
meats. Tea and coffee do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities Of the whole
body. There will be u great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. Baltimore SIN.

A Fad That Is Becoming Popular in New
York City.

York City.
The latest fad among aspiring act
resses and certain society dHmsels is
diamond in one of The front teeth.
"A well-knOwn actress first divulged
the project to me, q dentist said.
She came in one day greatly excited.
She wanted to know if she could have
diamond placed in the center of her
most conspicuous front tooth. The
proposition was so novel and unique
that I was staggered for the moment
But business is always business, you
know, and I placidly remarked that
such thing could be done. She
wanted to know the cost and how soon
I could finish the work, and whether
she would have to sit in the dental
chair many hours. told her she
wouldn't have to sit long in the chair,
only long enough for me to saw OFT
two-thirds of the tooth in which she
wanted the diamond set y
"Whalm she exclaimed, "can't you
put the diamond in without extracting
the tooth?" I told her the diamond
would have to be put in a false tooth,
as it would cause the natural tooth to
decay. should cut off twO-thirds Of
the natural tooth, place the diamond
in false tooth two-thirds the regu-
lar size, and pivot that on the third OF
the natural tooth that remained. N 0
one would ever suspect that any part
of the tooth was false, and the gem
would sparkle like a beacon all the
time. reminded her that if the dia-
mond was put into the natural tooth
it could not be removed. She would
have to 90 along the street scintillat-
ing dazzling rays Blu t she could re-
move the false tooth any time, and by
having 4 duplicate made she could
keep the diamond out of her mouth,
except when she appeared in public.
I considered that would be better
both for herself and the diamond" "
Did she leave the ordero
She did, and there is the tooth all
ready for the diamond. Keep your
eye on a popular actress at one Of the
theaters where burlesques are pro-
duced and you will get dazzling
CLEAN from a row of incisors when
she sings before long. Since got her
order have had half dozen more,
aad one of my fashionable colleagues
dropped in yesterday and said he had
Just received an order Mark my
words. it won't be long before the big
craze among certain women will be

THE HOME WHERE WAS BORN.

II my hand were but an artists,
would paint for you this scene;
Those two barns, thai low red farmhouse,
And the deep old we'll between;
But would add the charm and brightness
That It's beauty wore for me,
When thought the whole world bounded
BY the woods my eyes could see;
When fOrgetfulness would find me
With the sunset latest rays;
And the locust in the dOor-yard
Bloumed for months instead Of days;
When my childhood's chosen playmate
Was the brother of my heart;
When twas Joy to be together
And grief to be apart.
Then the morning let no shadows
Linger from the darkest night,
And a day could hold no tangle
That the next would not bring right.
Then our mother bent above us
With her brown hairs ripping sheen,
And the year was always May-time,
And the woods we're always green.
