One of the vilest habits tolerated in the
United States publicly and privately is
wholly unknown in other countries. 1t
is obtrusive eXpectoration. The disgust
ing vice is on the decline in large cities.
but it is still too prevalent and persons in
authority ought to insist upon its repres-
sion. Smokers who can not smoke with
out making themselves offensive ought
always smoke in strict seclusiOn. Men
riding in public vehicles pay for trans
portation, but it does not include the
right to detile floors, soil the garments
of other persons in the vehicle, and scken
the stomachs of the sensitive. The be-
scattering of sidewalks, railway stations,
foyers, and other places with saiivary
discharges is as foul as it is unnecessary.
Conductors, janitors, and porters ought
discreetly remind men guilty of this bar
barity that it must be stopped. If a quie.
protest will not be needed let the police
man be called.
Secretions of the respiratory, salivary,
or digestive organs are properly deposited
in pocket handkerchiefs if they can not
be more satisfactorily disposed of. Men
who can not afford pocket handkerchiefs
should receive gifts of them from their
friends. A vigorous and persistent effort
to stop this filthy practice in public at
least should be made and kept up Chi

The Messenger Waited for an Answer.
That's the REASON.
Every one has admired the superb resi-
dence, 500 Faralone street. 1t belongs
or rather dd-to Parnell McCorken. the
capitalist. About three months ago he
resolved to take his family on a European
tour. When about to leave his Office fo1
the train he sent messenger boy out to
his residence with a note, which he
thought might possibly reach his wife
before she left the house. The boy was
instructed to wait for an answer-bear
that in mind" wait for an answer.
1t is supposed that the said boy reached
his destination some time early in the fol.
lowing week. At all events, as he did
not return McCorken forgot the circum-
stance and proceeded east with his fam
lily. McCorken was not a superstitlom
man, but he had hardly been insulated
into his berth by the Pullman porter be-
fore he was filled with presentiment of
evil.
In vain he endeavored to shake off the
foreboding of disaster that depressed HIM.
1t followed him to London, Paris, SWltz'
erland, everywhere. Worn to a shadow,
he finally turned lis face homeward. AS
he stepped from the ferry on his arrival
here he sprang into a carriage and was
rapidly driven to his dwelling which he
approached with feeling of ineXplcable
terror.
AS he assembled his steps he behelc

months back still protruding from his
pocket. He had been provided with

which also furnished him with three cof-

a loud shrek the once happy capitalist
fell to the earth a ruined man.

Bad Temper Mostly InvOlun tary.

Many people consider that "ba tenn
per" is entirely voluntary on the part of
the person who displays it. AS a matter
of fact, it is often to very great extent
involuntary, a. no one more angry at
it than the bad tempered person himself.
OF course every one, whether he is born
with a bad temper or has acquired one
from habit, OF has been visited with one
as the result of disease or injury, should
at least try to control it. But his friends
should also bear in mind that bad temper
may be, and often is, an a!flictio' to be
sympathizcd W mot an olfense to be
punished. New York Ledger.

WAGON ROADS.

II il reported that - the only bid
received for the construction of the
State wagon road, known as the Lit
tie Salmon Meadows and Mt. Idaho
road, from Dry Buck to Walkers
saw mill was too high, the commits
sioners will refer the matter to the
next Legislature. To this we cannot
object, as the new county road from
Garden valley to Round valley will
give southern outlet to the road
through Boise Basin, and ono that
will prove to be fully as good, if not
better, than the proposed one via Dry
Buck. After it has been used . cou.
pie of years the route will have be-
come so we'll known to the travelling
public that all will be satisfied to
come this way, as the road will be
as good, and the distance no greater.
However, viewed from public stand.
point-the greatest good to the great
est number-we would like to see the
State road continued on to Boise val.
ley. No country can develop as it
should without public roads in suffi-
cient number to give outlets to all Of
the adjoining agricultural and miner
al districts. The more roads we have
the better. The Basin is not selfish,
and rejoices over general prosperity
If we only had another State road,
one leading through the great mineral
districts of Central Idaho, our pro-
gress would be rapid and permanent,
AS such road would give access from
every county in the State without GO
ing over circuitous routes. To ac-
complish such an object Boise county
would contribute liberally. Those
great copper, lead, gold and silver
mines to the north of US cannot ex-
pect much help from capital until
they can be reached by wagons, and
outside monev will never construct
the roads. The State must do it, and
the sooner it is done the sooner the
State will enter on the rapid growth
we hope for.

cade of years?
Mr.. Stockton informed Us that the
town was steadily growing and many
valuable improvements were under
way-the most important of which is
the erection by himself of water el-
evator with which to supply the town
and vicinity with an abundance of
water for irrigation and household
purposes. We will not just now at
tempt description of this "water el-
evator," but Mr.. 5. has implicit faith
in its successful operation, and took
from this place several hundred feet
of wire cable to be used in its con-
struction.
The Bulletin would be pleased to
publish a minute description of this
elevator from the pen of Mr.. Taylor,
the inventor, now at the Ferry.
