capital of 5000 for the purpose of estab-
fishing the new enterprise.
A California company is going to lay
out q townsite about half way between
Blackfoot and Basalt. One of the par
ties connected with the company has con-
tracted for blowing and seeding to alfalfa
200 acres adjoining the townsite. They
have made application 10 the railroad
company to have q sidetrack placed
there.
The Palouse country will soon become
noted for its artesian wells. Pullman has

the fourth one forces out a six-inch

Secretary Boone of the HALEY board Of

Does Misery saving Pay.

From the New York SUN.
Dr.. Chauncey n. Depew told q little
story the other day about a young man
starting an ''ouly" boz. into which he and
his wife put all the small pieces Of money
they would otherwise have spent for
things that were 'only o dime," or "only
o quarter" or ''only . half-dollar." And
the result was that in q year, or more or
less, they had $1,000 to invest.
II was a pretty little story, and likely 1t
has caused the starting Of q dosen OF so
sonly" boxes.
But there IL another side to the ques-
tion-a side which deserves more cham
pioning than Il has ever had. Did that
young couples thousand dollars repay
them for all they lost by saving Il? II 10
q very grave question whether that
omy which VI s The sonly" box is ea.

Would the whole thousand dollars repay
them for what they lost when, q warm
evening, John was on the point OF spend
ing "only 10 cents" for Q little bunch OF
carnations or q single fragrant pink rose
the 1only" box and didn't do Il? And
then Mary didn't buy the 25-cent toy for
the little toddler at home, because of that
ever-present box, did she do well?
And did 1t really pay 10 deny themselves
all these innocent ~enjoyments and sur
render themselves TO the misery spirit
necessary? The people who foster
! the habit of the 'only" box will

A German Trust Song.

just as God leads me l would go;
would not ask to choose my way,
Content with what he will bestow,
Assured he win not let me stray.
So as he leads, my path l make,
And step by step gladly take
A child in him confding.
just as God leads me am content;
L rest me calmly in his hands;
That which he has decreed and sent,
That which His will for me commands,
I would that He should sJl fulfill;
That 1 should do his gracious viii
In living or in dying.
just as God leads me 1 will resign;
1 trust me to my Frther's will;
When reasons rays deceptive shine,
His council would yet fulfill
That which his love ordained as right
Before he brought me to the light
Ny all to Him resigning.
Just as God leads me L abide;
In faith, in hope, in suffering true.
His strength is ever by my side;
Can aught my hold on him undo?
[ hold me firm in patience, knowing
That God my life is still bestowing,
The best in kindness sending.
just as God leads 1 onward go;
Oft amid thorns and briers green;
God does nor yet his guidance show,
But IN the end it shall be seen
How by loving Fathers viii,
Faithful and true, he leads me still.

The MOUND BUILDERS A MYTH.-
Man has dwelt in the United States
for unnumbered years but so far as
we yet know, only during the latter
half of Pleistocene time. There are
no evidences of races of people oc-
cupying the country anterior to the
Indian tribes. The great labor that
has been spent in maintaining organ
izations, in making excavations, and
in writing books to show that there
was a race of Mound builders before
the Indians, has almost made it
matter of common belief that such a
race existed, whereas there is no
scientific proof of it, but, on the con-
trary, satisfactory evidence that the
North American Indians themselves
built all the mounds and all the vii
lagos, and that there was nothing in
any of them to show any higher stage
of civilization than we know that the
Indians possessed.

AN EXILE IN JAPAN.-We were
joined at table by foreign gentle
man with high cheek-b bones, yellow
face, and slanting eyes, and dressed
in the latest European fashion with
high collar, four-in-hand scarf, and
pointed shoes. He was very courte-
Gus, and managed what little English
be used as skillfully as he dresses.
And he gave me touch of the far
East the story Of his being here
for he is under a cloud, an amiable
exile whose return to his native land
might involve his being boiled in oil,
or other ingenious form of death.
For we'll as he figured at luncheon
with us, | hear that he has been
obliged to leave because of his having
poisoned too many of his guests one
day at table, former enemies of his,
and because of his having de-
spatched with the sword those whose
digestion had resisted his efforts at
Cancellation. However this may be,
his eXtradition is demanded to which
he objects, and invokes Western
ideas of civilization, and protests
that his eXesses have been merely
political.

Earnest efforts to secure ballot-re-
form laws will be put forth in New
Jersey and Maryland, as we'll as in
New York, this winter. Probably
other states which do not yet enjoy
this blessing will be heard from later
on. Unfortunately, in the three
States mentioned, the prospects are
by no means as bright as could be
desired. Governor Hill blocks the
way in New York in New Jersey
one branch of the Legislature is Re-
publican and the other Democtaric,
while the Governor-elect, though
committed in favor of the reform, is
doubtless hardly more sincere in it's
support than Mr.. Hill +; and in Mary
land the Democratic ring, which yields
supreme power, can be depended on
not to favor a measure whose tenden-
cy will be to weaken it's hold on the
politics of the State. Yet ballot-re-
form is one of the things that is
bound to come.

Doing Ones Best.

1t is a dangerous experiment to
measure your work by the compensa-
tion you expect to receive for it. This
is a common error with young advent
urers of both sexes who have to leave
home and go out into the world to
make living for themselves.
Whatever may be your name, voca-
ton, or pay, it is far wiser and better
always to strive to do your best and
eclipse even those whose wages may
| be double your own: nor should YOU
ever degrade your skill and aim to
secure a meager pittance doled out to
you by grasping, avaricious employ
er, for there is nothing better calcu-
lated to stife lofty aims and high
endeavors than a dwarfed ideal of
duty.
You will never be the loser by
giving a full measure running over
for in time you will see and recognize
what is due you, and sooner or later
the reward will come. If you get
but So 90 week and your work is
worth treble, you are not the loser
though your employer may be the
gamer. Nothing is taken out of your
pocket, but you are the gamer in an
| advanced skill that will ultimately
claim higher wages let the competi-
ton be what it may. Remember you
| are getting pay for the time you are
spending in experiments and practice,
and if another is benefited, too, why
should you repine.
To work as poorly as you can or
just to earn the small pay awarded,
is an unsafe and unwise policy, and
you may never advance or be promo
ted to a higher post of duty as no
one will ever suspect what your cap
abilities for better work may be. 1t
is policy detrimental to your higher
manhood or womanhood and does
violence to every law of your better
interests and happiness.
He or she who does not care to
give more than he or she gets must
be concerned to take what is offered,
for the world is overstocked now with
mediocres, and the demand is for the
skilled workman. He who works for
his own sake and throws brain and
conscience into the one scale and
muscular power into the other will
prove the fortunate winner, who will
in time be called up to loftier SER
vice and higher emolument.
Do not be afraid that the world
will not find you out, for you are the
one for whom the most diligent search
is now being made and whose service
will be sure of rich reward. Faith
full earnest effort in good cause,
however lowly or mental it may be,
is never performed in vain, for though
its recompense may not be worldly
applause or pecuniary profit there is
ever a warm glow and spiritual exul-
tation in the thought one has done
his best, and this consciousness is
''more to be desired than gold, yea,
than much fine gold. "-Baltinaorcan
A dispatch from Woonsocket, Da.,
says the flow from the great Artesian
we'll has been brought under subjec
ton. A lake covering about forty
acres has been found in the lower
part of the town on some vacant lots.
A dense fog is constantly rising from
the warm water Numbers of barns
and walks are flooded. Half the pres
sure is now turned on, and water
runs through a six-incil pipe, and
throws a solid stream $50 feet. Ar
tesian experts say the well is one of
the most powerful in the world.
