TERRITORIAL.

We are now experiencing, to please
Mr. Dubois, the inconvenience of
changing mail routes. There has not
been a particle of eastern, western or
northern mail arrived in Albion since
the change The mail is being thrown
off as formerly at Minidoka and no
postmaster, mail agent or anybody
else there authorized TO receive it.
Mr.. Dubois may think he has done
something funny in this matter, but
the people of Cassia county will re
member it. We would like for some
body to point out where either sense,
justice or economy comes in in the
change. Our eastern mail, whenever
it comes at all, will necessarily be de
layed from twenty-four to forty-eight
hours; our western and northern mail
will be delayed ten hours, and the
cost of carrying them will be more
than three times greater than it was
formerly. 1t cut off the passenger and
express traffic from Minidoka and
forces passengers to travel from thir-
ty to fifty miles farther to strike a
railroad station. 1t certainly looks
like the United States postal depart
ment, through Mr.. Dubois, has a great
spite against Albion ana Cassia coun-
ty to thus shamefully discriminate
against them.-Cassia County Times

About Divorces.

More divorces, always divorces.
They crop up every day in the year,
and are as plentiful when the mercu-
~ is below zero rs when it climbs to
the nineties.
One is inclined to ask why men
and women go through the form of
matrimony when it is reasonably GER
tain that strained relations will begin
IN couple of years and an open rup-
ture will occur soon after.
A correspondent writes to ask "what
we would advise couple to do when
the cat and dog season opens" Well,
we don't believe in cat and dog
season. Scratching and barking should
be strictly confined to quadrupeds.
Two human beings who ever thought
enough of each other to join hands
ought to know enough to tolerate each
other under almost any circumstances.
We never knew a domestic row in
which both parties were not about
equally at fault 1t takes two always
to make a first-class quarrel, and when
people are respectable and intend to
do the square thing they ought to find
some way to work il double harness
without eternally snarling and snap
ping at each other.
Our observation leads us to say that
in nine cases out of ten divorce is
wholly unnecessary, and if men and
women would spend more time in
planning how to get along with each
other amicably, and less time in try
ing to get away from each other, our
homes would look brighter and be
happier. Recorder.
Brother Booth, your head is in
equilibrium on this subject, and if the
courts would grant separations to par
ties wanting to separate, prohibiting
them from marrying again, instead of
granting absolute divorces they would
be troubled with fewer cases of this
kind. According to our way of think
ing there are but few, extremely few
cases in which absolute divorces should
be granted.

Never before have there been as
many shade trees set out in this val

work continues. This is the kink of a
boom we like to see, and we hope
that every owner of a city lot will

promise those who don't set out shade

Good Takers,
Toledo Blade.

Over and over again we are told that good takers are scarce in American society, especially among women. It is proverbial that men who enjoy con- versation with ideas in it, prefer to talk to one another. It is humiliating to notice how they drop the themes they prefer in their own chat, for small gossip when they address them selves to the ladies of society.
 However, 8 great change is in pro- gress. in this respect. It is no longer considered out of character for ladies to discuss psychology, pomology, the tides or the tariff.
 It is said that man best enjoys the conversation of e woman who is a good listener, supplementing his" though hts rather than leading of with ideas of her own. One writer beseeches wo- men to avoid, in conversing. the three Ds-dress, domestics and diseases. Experts will sometimes adroitly turn tho drift of conversation into channels where they are most learned and can appear at their best, but it requires skill to do this gracefully.
 Small talk has been aptly defined as Ga conversation created apropos the moment with no ulterior motive than that of being agreeable" A pleas antly- -modulated voice and we'll chosen words are two great requisites for good takers, and these may be cultivated by any Gne anxious to im- prove and excAl. Tn learn to think and store the mind with things worth telling, then learn to tell them in an entertaining manner are two fnnda- mental rules to be observed. "You cannot draw water out of an empty welll" Frankness, sincerity, cheer fulness and good sense are necessary qualifications; 90, really, study to become . good cOnversationaiist in- wolves improvement of character.

The Bogus Cowboy.

One of the New York papers pub lished, not long since, . picture of a cowboy in full regalia, with long hair and spurs, who is recoiling in horror from 6 huge bear. The ferocious anil maj is one of these stuffed bruins that are used by furriers as business signs in front of their stores.
 There is a popular impression that the average cowboy is not really as dangerous as he would like to have people believe. A little affair occurred st Staten Island when Forepaugh was exhibiting @ wild west show fin con- nection with his menagerie.
 Captain Bogardus, the champion off, hand shot, and Suspender Jack were rival attractions, the latter being a cowboy of the most pronounced type. They got into dispute, when Bogar- dus suddenly seized Suspender Jack by his luxuriant switch and slammed him down on the hard ground with con- siderable force, after which Bogardus jolted the cowboys tosvnure with several kicks from well-developed brogan.
 Now, according to all the traditions of the frontier, Suspender Jack should have, as an overture to the subsequent performance, shot an aperture about the size of a general delivery window of country post office into the anat- omy of Captain Bogsrdus. Then the intrepid cowboy, with whoop, should have removed the dapdruff in the cap- tain's hair along with his reeking scalp. For dessert Suspander Jack should also have bitten chunk about the size of frog out of the captains cheek.
 This, in view of the traditional fe- rocity of the cowboy, was the least that was expected of him, but Sus- bender Jack went back on all the tra- ditions ot the border. The COW boy disappeared almost as suddenly as broken dollar bill, and he didn't stop running until he reached the office of justice ot the peace, his wild, luxu- riant switch snapping viciously in the vacuum caused by the velocity of his flight. Bogardus was arrested and fined $10 and costs. During the ex- animation Bogardus taunted Sus- bender Jack with being dime- muse- um cowboy, and still Bogardus didn't have to spill any of his gore.
 Before this sad affair, when cow boy with a cascade of brindle hair flowing down his shoulders, the usual steely glint in his eye, with his mouth firmly compressed, passed down Broad way, even the policemen showed symptoms of wanting to climb tele- graph pole to avoid the impending cyclone. They regarded the man from the west as more dangerous than the prong horned guagga from the head waters of the Nile, and worse on the fight than an Abyssinian ki-yi, but the conduct ot Suspender Jack has broken the spell, so that now even the ticket sellers at the elevated stations do not hesitate to shove lead nickels off on the terror of the prairies.

SUNSHINE LAND.
BY EDITH M. THOMAS.

They came in sight of lovely shore. Yellow as gold In the morning lighti The suns own color at noon It wore And had faded not at the fall of night; Clear weather or cloudy-'twas all as one, The happy bills seemed bathed with the sun. Its secret the sailors could not understand, But they called thIs country Sunshine Land. What was the secretl-a simple thing Qt will make you smile when once you
 knowt:
 Touched by the tender finger of spring, A million bfossoms were all agiow; So many, 50 many, so small and bright, They covered the hills with 8 mantle Of
 light;
 And the wild bee hummed, and the glad breeze
 famed
 Through the honeyed fields of Sunshine Land. If over the sea we two were bound, What port, dear child, would we choose for
 oursa
 We would sail and sail, till at last we found This fairy gold of a million flowers. Yet darling, we'd find, if at home VI stayed, Of many small joys our pleasures are made. More near than VIC think-very close at hand, Lie the golden gates of the Sunshine Land

The History of Tobacco. New York Graphic.


 It is asserted that tobacco was in use in China from the earliest times, but we have no certain knowledge that this was the case. If it was 70 the knowledge of the plant and its uses have been carefully guarded by the Chinese, for 1t was not introduced into any other Oriental nation until after its discovery in America. When Col umbus first landed on the island of San Domingo, in the West Indies, he found tobacco in use among the na- tives there, who smoked 1t when made in small cylindrical rolls and wrapped in maize leaf. The Indians on the continent smoked it in 8 pipe, and among all the tribes from Peru to Upper Canada, the first discoverers found the plant to be in use, and to have been known to them from 90 early period that the time of its first discovery was unknown. The smoking of tobacco with the Indians partook largely of the nature of re- ligious rite. The seeds of the tobacco plant were first brought to Europe by Gonzalo Hernandez de Oviedo, who introduced it into Spain, where it was cultivated as an ornamental plant, till traveller who had noted it's use a. mong American Indians, called atten- tion to it's narcotic properties. The name is said to have been taken from Tabacco, 8 province of Yucatan, though others derive it from Tobago, an island in the Carribean sea, and yet others from Tobasco, in the gulf of Florida. The practice of smoking the dried leaf became general in Spain, and it's manufacture into snuff follow ed soon after. It was introduced into Italy in 1860, and about the same time into France. The first to bring the seeds of the plant into the latter coun- try was Jean Nicot, the French am- bassador to Portugal, in whose honor tobacco received it's botanical name nicotiano, whence the name nicotine, applied to poisonous extract from the plant. Tobacco is said to have been first introduced into England by Sir Walter Raleigh. From these be- ginnings the use of the weed spread over the entire eastern continent. It did not become known in Asia until the seventeenth century, but was talk en up by the Oriental nations with great eagerness, and they are now the greatest smokers in the world.

Does the Earth Really Move ?

Science says that it does, but we cannot help wondering sometimes Ii there isn't come mistake about 1t, when we see how stubbornly certain old fogies cling to their musty and antiQuated ideas. It was believed once that consumption was incurable, and although 1t has been clearly dem onstrated that 1t is not, thousands of old-time physicians close their eyes and put their hands to their cara and refuse to abandon the theory. But for all that the world moves on, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery continues to rescue sufEerers from con- sumptive3 graves. It is . sure cure for this dreadful dissase, If taken in time. All scrofalous diseases- and consumption is included in the list-- yield to 1t.

One of Larry Jerome's Jokes.
Springfield Republican.

Jerome had the run of the aristoc- racy, and it is told that he took sd- vantage of this to play 8 joke at the incidental expense of the queen. He visited Osborne, the royal residence on the Isle of Wight, with some of his "blooded" friends, and in one of the rooms the eagle eye of the joker light ed on some of the royal stationery. "Oh," he cried, raising his voice to heaven, eff I could only perchance have one of those crested sheets to take home to America, how envied would l be there!"
 His friend thought it could be ar- ranged, and soon the joker had his prize. Soon after this MT. Bennett gave dinner on his yacht, to which a number of Englishmen were invited. MT. Jerome had written on the royal stationery an invitation to Lawrence l.. Jerome to dine at Osborne with her majesty the queen, and arranged to have it brought to him when the champagne had circulated long enough to make the Epglishmen unsuspicious and credulous. As 1t happened, a real invitation from Lord Somebody was handed to the joker just a few mo- ments before the arrival of the bogus one. He opened it, yawned and looked distraught. "What is it?" asked some one.
 "Oh, only an invitation from Lord So-and -So."
 The Englisnmen started. Only an invitationl Then came the big envel- ope with the royal seal and crest. The Englishmen marveled. MT. Jerome sighed, and with an incompatible sir of nonchalance cut the seal and opened the precious missiye.
 "Well," he said, "this is getting to be a bore"
 What was it2 Oh, an invitation from the queen. An invitation from the queen bore2 Oh, well, she doubtless meant kindly, but she didn't know how tired the Amerlcan was of these little social courtesies; they were beginning to pail upon him. And 30 for half an hour he ran on, and nearly drove the Johnnies crazy They never suspected joke.

Oregon and Washington.

No section of the country is to-day attracting as much attention as Mon. tana, Oregon and Washington; Mon- tana, because it now ranks first in the production of precious metals; Ore gon, because of its rich valleys, and Washington Territory by reason of its mild climate, timber, coal, minerals and wonderful productions of fruits and cereala. The rapid growth of Spokane Falls, with 6 water power exceeding even that of Minneapolis Tacoma, on Puget Sound, the termi- nus of the Northern Pacific railroad, with Ii, 900 inhabitants; Seattle, thirty miles distant, an energetic and thriv- ing city, mark this section of the Pa ci6c Northwest as one that offers De- culiar inducements to those seeking new homes.
