THE EQUINE QUEEN OF IDAHO

This seems to have been a distinction
fairly gained by one of our own fair
country women. Miss Wilkins is de-
scribed as a tall, handsome person, west
ern born and bred, an individual of gra-
cious presence, possessing decided execu-
tive ability, energy, and excellent health.
She is now twenty-five years of age.
When she was a child of two years she
received a gift of forty dollars to be in
vested as her father might think best. 1t
resulted in the purchase of a FLY, from
the increase of which all her bands have
come.
Her present ownership includes be-
tween seven and eight hundred horses
Percherons, Morgans, Normans, Handle
tonlans and Others. The youthful pro-
prietor of these spirited creatures regards
her work as "a fascinating business " and
one promotlve of health. Although her
home and many of the corrals and build
ings are on the Bruneau river. fftv miles
southeast OF Boise City, and the range is
seVenty-hVe miles away, she goes there
every year to look about and see how the
business is progressing. She rides a great
zeal, and is also accustomed to the use of
firearms.
MISS wilkins once went to Omaha to
DISPOSE OF two carloads of Hambletonians.
One writer says of her, "She has a ma
tlonal reputation as a girl who has labored
earnestly n well, and Of her success and
herself the wild and woolly West are
justly proud."-Bazar.

A MUSICAL R

A German woman who resides at the
Belvedere House has a musical pigeon.
1t is the habit of the woman to sing and
play on the piano every morning. AT
first the pigeon was rather shy and did
not pay attention to the music. Finally
the bird took a great fancy to its mistress
and would follow h r about the room as
a cat or a poodle dog might do. The
first sign of superior intelligence the
pigeon gave was to kiss its mistress.
Whenever the lady lies down the bird
comes and puts it's bill to her lips and
COOS in that peculiar sound heard in dove
cotes. This affection grew so strong that
now every morning the pigeon comes to
her bedside and wakes her up by packing
upon her chin. With this sudden growth
of affection the pigeon all at once became
a musical fanatic. 1t flies upon the keys
of the piano, and pecks at the black and
white worries as if trying to knock a tune
out. When it's mistress comes it leaves
the keys and goes upon the top of the
piano, where it gambols and frolics dur
sng the performance as if it were stirred
to its utmost by the melody. lisa Ger
man pigeon and fond of Wagner's music.
Loheng:i in causes the feathers to futter
upon the bird as if it had a bucking ague
of delight. Tannhauser is the next
favorite. Whenever a tune is played
that it does not like it simply lies down
and plays dead. Many of the comic
opera airs have a mortuary effect upon
his birdship. The cry of the sword maid
ems in the Valkyr gives the pigeon in
finite delight, making it turn somersauIts

The soldiers song in Faust is its favorite.
air. Strange to say, Verdi's music does
not have much effect upon the pigeon.
Rossini's Semiramide has some, but lone
can compare with Wagner's music. The
fair owner often sings and the bird seems
to enjoy it, but not as much as instru-
mental music. The pigeon is a very
aesthetic bird, and has never been ira ned
as an amateur or professional performer.

GORDON AND L~ONGSTREET.

Yesterday, while / was at the Capitol,
Governor Gordon came in. In his in
imitable style he began greeting friends.
In the midst of it all another form came
in view; the hair was white, the beard
of the same hue, the eyes dim, the right
arm trembling with age and wounds.
why, General" said Gordon, 81 am
glad to see you"
"And l." replied the other, cam glad
to see you"
Gordon and Longstreet!
They were standing hand clasped in
hand. Lees old war horse and Stone
wall Jackson's worthy successor standing
heart to heart; the old LIST and I'd corps
once more side by side. No politics
there. No Democracy, no Republicanism
only two soldiers. Their voices sounded
less distinct than usual-like the soft
murmur of summer seas. Tears, too,
clouded their V vision.
Other eyes grew dim, for those two
represented, in the most tragic hour, the
Wilderness and Lees army. Back again
came the scene The light of May 5,
1864, has passed, and from the "darkling
woods came the sharp crack of the
skirmisher's rife, groans, dying prayers.
Each army waited for the morrow. Long
street at G%ordonsvllle, twenty miles away
Hill hard pressed; Ewell only holding
his own; 10000 grays, 100000 blues;
Longstreet not yet up.
What of the morrow?
Down the line of Hill and EwelI's
troops is heard the cry: "Pass word
along that Longstreet is herel" From
the tangled depths of the Wilderness a
mighty shout goes up, even the wounded
feebly answering back: "Longstreet is
herel" Grand old 1st army corps, brave
old Longstreet, we may differ in politics,
but Second Manassas is yours, the Will
derness is yours, and amid the gathering
gloom of life, fading years, we dare deal
you Justice !-Erchanqe.

Have you ever noticed that on the dial

ten iii instead of " The explanation
of this carries US back to the year 1870,
when the first on record which ap-
preached in accuracy of movement the

by Henry Wick, for Charles V of France.
This monarch was surnamed The Wise,
and although he had a good degree of

not. So when the watch was brought to

HE WAS AGAIN MISTAKEN.

There is a man named J. 81. Wilson,
who lives here in town, and is being con-
stantly taken for some one else. he is
beginning to believe that he is the original
"fellow that looks like me-" so often
spoken of by husband and wife. Some
time ago he was passing the court house
when a tall, feshy man, with grip more
certain than Mr.. Yerkes', walked up to
him, grasped his hand and said: why,
how are you, Grinnell? Haven't seen
you for an age. Always wanted to thank
you for sending the hood ers over the
road. How are you anyway ?" Mr..
Wilson gently but firmly removed his
hand and said he was not Judge Grinnell.
At first the tall, fat man with the grip
would not believe him, but finally he re-
luctantly admitted that he must have
made a.mistake. About a week later Mr..
Wilson was walking along State street,
when the same tall, fat man with the
grip came up, slapped him On the back
and cried out: "Say, Grinnell, l saw q
fellow over near the court house the other
day and took him for you. He looked
just exactly like you. Funny, though,
l should make the mistake, after knowing
you so long. Say, how are you, anyway"
Again Mr.. Wilson gently but firmly re-
moved the same grip and said: "My
friend, I'm the man you took for Grinnell
last week, and I wish you'd call on him
aud find out how he looks so you won't
make another mistake" Then he walked
away, leaving the tall, fat man with the
grip to cape after his receding figure until
he disappeared in the throng. Then the
tall, fat man with the grip said he would
be damned, and he, too, lost himself in
another throng-M Chicago Herald.

in all her eauty of snowy skin and golden
hair and silvery raiment; and she stretched
her hand toward him, as in blessing, and
then, rising on purple pinions, vanished
in the skies. A strain Of music fingered,
a perfume filed the air, and those who
came there soon after found the old man
praying beside the spring.
Before he died he built the fountain
from which the spring still gushes, and
it, with the splendid mansion beyond it,
now a hospital has been given to the poor
forever.

cox,s PICTURE OF THE SUNSET
Printed in the Ohio Statesmen in 1884.

Printed in the Ohio Statesmen IN 1854.
What a stormful sunset was that of
last night How glorious the storm and
how splendid the setting of the SUM- We
do not remember ever to have seen the
like on our round globe. The scene
opened in the west with a whole horizon
full Of golden, inter-penetrating luster,
which colored the foliage and frightened
every object into its own rich dyes. The
colors grew deeper and richer, until the
golden luster was transfused into a storm
cloud full of finest lightning, which
leaped in dazzling zigzags all around and
over the city. The wind arose with fury;
the slender shrubs and giant trees made
obeisance to its majesty. Some even
snapped before its force. The strawberry
beds and grass plots "turned up their
whites" to see Zephyrus march by. AS
the rain came, and the pools formed, and
the cutters hurried away, thunders roared
grandlY and the ire-bells caught the ex-
element and rung with hearty chorus.
The south and east received copious
showers, and the west all at once bright
ened up in a long, polished belt of azure
worthy of a Sicilian sky.
Presently a cloud appeared in the azure
belt, in the form of a castellated city. 1t
became more vived, realizing strange
forms of peerless fanes and alabaster
temples, and glories rare and grand in
this mundane sphere. 1t reminds us of
Wordsworth's splendid verse in his Ex-
curSion: -
The appearance instantaneously disclosed
Was of a mighty citv, boldly Fay
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far
And self withdrawn into a wondrous depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end!
But the city vanished, only to give place
to another isle, where the most beautiful
forms of foliage appeared, imaging a
paradise in the distant and purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental COM
motion, sank behind the green plains of
the west. The "great eye in the heav-
ens," however, went.not down without
a dark brow hanging over It's departing
light. The rich flush of the unea rthly
light had passed and the rain had ceased;
when the solemn church bells pealed, the
laughter of children rang out and joyous
after the storm is heard the carol of birds;
while the forked and purple weapon of
the sky still darted illumination around
the Startling college, trying to rival it's
angels and leap into its dark windows.
