The greatest literary hit of the sea-
son is the great composite novel, en-

the work of twelve different authors,
each one writing a chapter. Among
them are P. T. Barnum, John L. Sulli-
van and Bill Nye. tits illustrated, each
chapter by different artist, and in all
is one of the most novel stories ever
written. THE TRIBUNE, at consider
able expense, is able to produce this
story in its columns, the first chapter
appearing next week. Don't fail to
read it.
j. Horn, the handsome heavy
weight of the Nampa Leader occupied
the stool of honor at THE TRIBUNE a
short time last Sunday. The old stool
has gone through some very trying
ordeals, but Horn was too much for
it and it lies wreck while he is nurs-
ing his anatomy. If Nampa had not
Won the ball game he would have been
a cripple for life.

the hills with him to slaughter bear.
As the bear refused to be slaughtered
he is taking out his spite by cutting
down prices at Tho Finest" 60 and
