There Are Twins and Twins.

The other. night the subject OF
twins was up as a matter of CONVEX
sation. The resemblance of twins
is always interesting, and some
stories were told which were new to
the listener. One was about q pair
of twin sisters, excellent ladies,
who lived near each other in q Mas
sachusetts town. One of these twins
was ailing somewhat, and one day
her sister, bonnetless and shawlless,
ran in to see how she was, and found
that the ailing one wanted her to
do an important errand. So she
put on the ailing sisters shawl and
bonnet and went to the store. Ar
irving there she saw her own image
in a large looking-glass, and ex.
claimed:
"Why, you decided to come your.
self after all. I didn't think you
were well enough !"

nieA JlNks IN COURT.
Grave Justices Of the Supreme Bench
Lose Their Dignity.

There was a scene of merriment
in the Supreme Court recently when
the appeal in a case involving the
validity of a patent for patch in
tended to reinforce drawers in the
crotch came up for argument. The
case was appealed from the United
States District Court at Richmond,
Va, where Judge Hughes, in an
opinion remarkable for it's levity,
had said:
It strikes me that patent for q
patch upon drawers, designed to
remedy the evil of rip and tear to
which they are liable in the crotch,
ought never to have been granted,
interfering as it must necessarily do
with the prerogative of the house.
wives ofthe civilized world to patch
the drawers of their husbands,
fathers and sons freely in their own
way, with no patentee to modest or
make them afraid. AS to the dis
orders of mems drawers in and near
the crotch, which have troubled
housewives for centuries, l do not
think any person in our day and
generation can employ patch for
the purpose of preventing or curing
them that can have any real novelty.
John S. Wise, the counsel for the
appellant, dilated upon this opinion
at length, warning the Justices Of
the Importance of the case to the
feminine portion of the community,
and of the wrath that was impend-
ing over them. Concluding, he said
the case resembled the game Of faro.
"There is this difference, how
ever" said the speaker: SIN faro
the dealer gets all the splits, and in
this the splits are all against tho
dealer" At this sally the Court lost
all likeness to its usually serious
and dignified air. Chief Justice
Fuller could not restrain himself
and almost fell out of his chair.
Justice Harlan's huge form and
big, rosy round face became con-
vulsed with laughter until it became
almost apoplectic. Justice Gray
made strong effort to preserve the
dignity of the court, but he, too,
was compelled to succumb and join
the general merriment.-Philadel
phia Record.

The Actor and the Clerk.

One day the elder Sothern, who
was famous practical joker as we'll
as author, went with Mrs. Wood
into an ironmonger's shop and
asked for Macauleay's History of
England.
I'VE do not sell books, sir" said
the assistant, "this is an ironmon-
gers shop"
"Well, I'm not particular" said
Sothren, pretending to be deaf; II
don't care whether it is bound in
calf or Russia"
"But this is not a booksellers"
shouted the assistant.
"All right" said Sothren, "wrap
it up neatly. / want to have it sent
down to the hotel. It's for pres
ent wish to make to a relative"
ave don't keep it," shouted the
assistant, getting red in the face.
"Do it up as if it were for your
own mother. I don't want anything
better than that" said Sothren. II
would like to write my name on
the fly leaf"
"Sir," bawled the assistant at the
top of his voice, ''can't you see that
we do not keep books?"
"Very WE'LL" said Sothern, quite
undisturbed, II will wait for it,"
The clerk appealed to his master
and said he thought the customer
must be off his head.
"What is it, sir! What do you
desire?" he said to Sothern.
II want to buy a file," said the
actor, "a plain file, four or five
inches long"
Certainly" said the master, cast
ing withering glance at his assis-
tant.-Chicago Times.

I, IDAHO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1889.

Bolander wins one bet and loses
two, having queen and two tens.
The next hand, all of the outsid-
ers. that is, those other than the
dealer, have average cards and bet
we'll up to the limit, but, notwith-
standing the fact that Meade has
three aces, Blackie wins everything
in sight when he turns up his card,
for it is an ace. Remember, aces
in the hand of an outsider do not
stand off an ace turned by the dealer.
When the dealer turns an ace there
is but one thing to be done On the
deal, and that is to take everything
If you are the dealer.
If an outsider holds three cards
corresponding to any card-except
an ace-turned by the dealer, there
is nothing lost or won on the hand,
for they are all a stand off. If an
outsider have three cards that prove
to be higher than the one turned
by the dealer, the person holding
the cards in question wins three
times the amount of the money he
bet. If he holds three cards that
are lower than the one turned he
loses three times his bet.
Those who play cards for money
like to get quick action, and for
that reason the game of "hop"
is bound to become popular in the
states when once started there. The
action in shop" is as rapid as in
faro. In fact, it is little short of
being furious.-Paris Letter to Gin
cinnati ENQUIRER.

Gum for Nursea

Chewing gum has been laughed
at, decried and abused long enough.
1t is proposed to start boom for
gum right here on a high moral
plane.
"How do you manage to keep
awake all night long?' said l to q
lady who has had to sit up beside
sick-bed for many days and nights
recently.
II chew gum !" she replied, with
a very serious air.
"Truly ?"
"Yes, so long as you're chewing
gum you can't 60 to sleep. Profess
sional nurses have found out this
virtue of gum, and l know from ex-
perience that no matter how drowsy
and weary / may be sleep never
overtakse me so long as / have gum
in my mouth"
No particular kind of gum is de-
scribed, and the chewing gum can
be kept between watches in the
usual handy places, on tho back OF
= chair, under mantel or behind
the clock.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Money in Little Things.

The rubber tip at the end of lead
pencils has yielded 100000.
Upward of $4,000 a year was
made by the inventor of the com
mon needle .threader.
The inventor of the roller skates
made over 100000, notwithstand-
ing the fact that his patent had
nearly expired before its value was
ascertained.
A large fortune has been reaped
by q miner who invented a metal
rivet or eyelet at each end of the
mouth of coat and trousers pockets
to resist the strain caused by the
carriage of pieces of ore and heavy
tools.
The gimlet-pointed screw has
produced more wealth than most
silver mines, and the American who
first thought of putting copper tips
to children's shoes is as we'll off az
if his father had left him 94OO,OOC
in United States bonds.
Ae large sum as was ever OBJ
tanned for any invention was en-.
ioyed by the inventor ofthe inverted
glass bell to hang over gas to pro
tect ceilings from being blackened
and a sincerely less lucrative pat
ent was that for simply putting
emery powder on cloth.
In q recent legal action it trans
pired in evidence that the inventor
of the metal plates used to protect
soles and heels of boots from weal
sold upward of 10000, 600 plates IN
1879. and in 1887 the number reach
ed 143 600, 600, producing realized
profits of $3.50, Geo.

A DARK HORSE.

An old race goer relates the fol-
lowing smartest case within his
knowledge, says the Horseman :
Not many years ago / remember
witnessing very peculiar race over
Franklin park, Saugus, Mass. 1t
cost me just $50 so to see it. I
paid fifty cents at the gate, and
$50 for little, nearly square pieces
of pasteboard at $40 each, with the
picture of a horse on each card. 1t
was a scrub race between local
horses. There were five starters,
and big, raw-boned bay mare was
the favorite over the field at even
money. thought it was like find.
ing money to back this mare. She
went off and won two heats as she
pleased, and then brought SO to $3
for the field. But what / thought
strange at the time a certain little
Irishman, supposed not to be owner
of 500 in the world, bept buying
the small end. said to him:
"Paddy, what do you want to
throw your money away for like
that? The big mare can shut that
field of crabs out"
"Bejabbers," said Paddy, "think
there is one in there can shut her
out"
asked him which one. He said,
"The little black mare"
Now, l had known this little
black mare for years, and was sure
she had no business with the win
ner of the two heats, but Paddy
kept buying the So end all the time.
Before starting the third heat
Paddy made "kick" to the judge
that the black mare was not being
driven to win. So to please our
Hibernian friend and make fun for
the boys, some of them said: "Why
don't you drive her yourself the
next heat, Paddy?"
Il will" says our hero, "and win
1t, too"
Everybody laughed when Paddy
got in to drive what was supposed,
and in matter of fact was, the last
heat, for Paddy distanced every
horse in the race, as he had prophe-
sled. But it was done, as l after
wards found out, with duplicate
of the little black mare. Paddy had
''ringer, had her we'll warmed up
on the road between the heats, and
the two blacks looked so much
alike that no one tumbled to the
fraud.
We still have Paddy y and the black
mare with us, and it was about as
slick fraud as I ever saw done on
race course, and it was done in a
mastery manner by one whom
everybody supposed to be a half
Witted Irishman.

A DisRruntled Negro.

"Sandy Jim," as he is called, is
one of the most quarrelsome negroes
in Austin, but he usually gets the
worst of every fight in which he in
dulges. He always starts a fight
and invariably gets thrashed.
Some days ago he was fined ten
dollars for not complying with some
sanitary ordinance about cleaning
up his back yard. AS he paid over
the money he sighed and groaned
as if he was sick, and shaking his
head, he said to the justice:
"Dis heah money am jess as good
as frowed away. Hit don't do me
no good"
"What do you mean?" asked the
justice.
II mean jess dis, dat I hahn git.

"That's not my fault" replied the
Justice. "If you don't clean ur
your yard you will have to pay 70,
it."
"But, Jedge, you am askin' toe
much. Ten dollars Whewl Down
