Boise Democrat.
One little week ago the Idaho
Democrat could not have asserted
without fear of contradiction that
in all of Idaho, could be found ten
democrats taken at random some
one of whom would not have sue
cumbed to the clink of the hood

these are the men:
SENATOR'S.
Fl. G. Branstetter, Ada county.
Stephen Dempsey, Boise.

REPRESENTATIVES,.
J. M. Ballentine and
Frank Steunenberg, Ada.
E. w. Jones and
B. H. Smith, Boise.
John @. Dryden, Logan.
Charles Irwin, Washington.
It is said that at one time $780,
600 might have found its way into
their pockets. But not for sale at
any price they stood by their prin-
ciples.as do all true democrats and
will not be forgotten by their party.

There was a long silence after that,
broken only by the buzz of the bees
in the red clover and the ch-k-k Of
the grasshoppers through the hot
grass. The old man stopped as he
always did on Sunday, to see how
much corn in tile lower field had
grown during the week, and to gaze
meditatively at the pigs in their pen.
But Mrs. Holmes had no thoughts
to-day for the pigs or corn. She
walked with her head bent on her
breast, almost forgetting to hold up
the skirt Of her Sunday merino out
of the grass. There had been a
strange preacher that day-an old
man with quick, sharp tone, like
the call of a horn to wandering sheep
very different from Father Lang
ley's prolonged drowsy hum. One
or two Of his sentences rang in Ann
Holiness ears:
while you live, live! You wrap
yourselves in selffshness and fat con-
tent as in grave-clothes before YOU
are dead. The world is full of your
brothers, starving, cold ignorant.
Go to them! You owe them service
to the last breath of your life. "
Mrs. Holmes had asked the doctor's
vile anxiously what she thought of
the sermon, as they came out OF the
church-yard.
Mrs. Perry shook her head con
temptuously
He's one ofthese haIf-cracked, SEN
sation preachers. What has Amity
township to do with the starving
poor? We keep up our almshouse
well. Let the big towns see to their
own paupersl"
Ann was COMPOUNDED for the mo-
ment, butshe remained uneasy. That
hint about the grave-clothes seemed
personal hit at herself. Could the
man Know
She hurried past the schoolmaster
when they reached their own gate,
going up the spotless boardwalk
with beds of geraniums and roses
on either side, to the door. She
could not resist a complacent glance
at those beds. Not a weed: the
brown earth sited fine and smooth!
There was no such garden in the vii
lage; no kitchen So exquisitely neat,
no parlor so speckless and prim.
Surely her conscience told her, she
was good Christian woman, full
filling her duty, and had no cause
Tor the wrench and misery of sJuI
which she felt Just now.
She went up the stairs to her own
chamber, laid off her bonnet care
fully, and then unlocked a drawer in
the press. She did not need to lift
the white towels, She knew perfect
" well what was pinned up in them.
The underclothing of snowy white
linen, the worked flannels, the wooden
shroud. She had put in every stitch
in them. Could the man have
known?
Every matron in Amity had her
funeral suit" provided. 1t was a
matter of pride to them. lust as Mrs
b. in Boston would delight in her
old Satsuma or her Corot. The
Amity people gloried in their new
cemetery. The Holmeses had their
/ lot like the rest: u narrow one. for
there were only two to be buried
in it. Ann had her choicest roses
set out there. She had directed in
her will every detail OF the trimming
on her coffin.
