ofthe Board or Trade OF Bo,se Cou,tv
wandering Brother Reports.

The b. Of I. held rousing meet
ing on the evening of the 2eth Of
March, the occasion being to hear the
report of the wandering member
from the Salvation barracks at
kempner. The report was verbal
and OF great interest. Our reporter
was on hand and took notes of the
salient points of the report, and re-
grets that he is unable to give it yer-
batim.
NOSE IN ARKANsAw.
Nose struck straight for Arkansaw
on leaving Idaho City. 1t was a
ben'ghted section he happened to
strike. No Salvation Army had been
organized, and no recent issues of
the IDAHO WORLD had yet reached
that section, 80 he could not do much
IN either salvation or B. of T. matters,
but reports that he was ENJOYING
himself hugely with possum and per-
simmons and sparkling a nice "wid-
DER" when all of sudden he was
called to Washington by a dispatch
from President Cleveland urging his
immediate visit to the capital.
NOSE AT WASHINGTON.
Nose says he was gnawing pos
sum rib when the dispatch reached
him; that he got up from the table,
rolled his blankets and in fifteen
minutes was off, having bid a sad
farewell to the widder." On arriv-
ing at Washington he found the
president waiting at the depot with
his "buck board" to convey him
and his blankets to the white house
They arrived there just at the presi-
dents breakfast hour and Nose was
ushered into the family room and in
troduced to the lady of the White
House. (Mose says she is nice
little woman.) After breakfast Nose
says Cleveland took his right hant
in both his and said: "Mose, | cam

personal presence here. Make you.

city; use the blackboard at you

You can use any room in the hous'
or spread your blankets on the lawn.
And Nose says he knows the presi
dent felt every word he said, for
great moist tear gathered in one o
his eyes and manifest feeling Q
pleasure spread all over his face
