Political Combat.

Statesman
The certainty of our early admis-
sion as a sovereign State ofthe Unto"
has caused the political cauldron to
commence boiling, and there are as
pirants galore in every quarter OF
Idaho. Both parties have good men
and true, whose records are above re
proach. Let these be sought out by
the people without interference fro"
profession al politicians. II the new
State owes a debt Of gratitude to any
one for heroic service done in her be-
half, it will be paid generously, 10y
ally and cheerfulIy. But if the Re-
publicans desire success, no outcast
whose recond sis so rank that it smells
to heaven" must be allowed to show
his head. Let all such be spurned as
they deserve, and let their record be
suspended, between heaven and hell,
like the body Of the traitor who de-
MED his country, as All example to the
rising generation, that honesty is the
best policy.

Significance Of Visiting Cards.

A society lsdy gives the following
expla.atlon of the significance Of
turned down corners Of visiting cards:
The upper left-hand corner turned
down simply denotes "visit," and is
used for III ordinary call; the upper
right.hand corner turned down means
"feiicitation," and is for visit OF con-
grstulation; the lower left hand
corner "conse," represents . farewell
call. and the lower right hand corner,
''coadolence," expresses = desire to

MTSSPENT EVENINGS.

The boy who spends an hour each
evening lounging idly on the street
corners, wastes in a year three hun
dred and sixty-fve precious hours,
which if applied to study would
famiIiarizc him with the rudimcnts
of almost any science. If i'll addition
to wasting an hour each evening he
spends ten cents for cigar which is
usually the case, the amount thus
worse than wasted, would pay for
ten of the leading periodicals of the
country BOYS, think of these things
Think of how much money you are
wasting and for what? The gratifI-
cation afforded by the lounge on the
corner or the cigar is not only tenn
porary but positively hurtful. You
cannot indulge in them without seri-
ousIy injuring yourselves. You ac-
quire idle and wasteful habits, which
will cling to yOu with each succeed
ing year and grow on you for life.

4 RIVER WITHOUT AN OUTLET

The Russians have launched a
steamboat on one of those unfortu-
nate rivers that have no outlet.
This is the Murghab river i'll Central
Asia, whose waters, III the old days
before Merv went to seed and its
great irrigation works were de
stroyed, used to give such fertility
and beauty to that famous oasis.
The Murghab, like some rivers in our
Great Basin and in Africa, starts out
very bravelv from its mountain
sources, but it wanders off into the
wastes of the kara-kum desert, los
ing volume as it goes, and finally
disappears entirely. The first steam
er to vex its waters plies between
the various river settlements in the
oasis, and its appearance is the sig
nal for complete suspension of bust
ness while everybody rushes to the
river bank to see the new wonder
