And roamed VT the torch and the knife.
All. few could their fury Withstand.
And panic and terror we're rife.
But out in the west there appeared
A leader right royal and true.
And Tecumseh went broke when he felt the
bold stroke
OF gallant old Tippecanoe.

And grandfather's hat fits Ben;
1t may DO u trifle tight,
for benjamin stands about seventeen hands
The Hottest statesman in sight.
Yes, grandfather's hat fits Ben;
He wears 1t with digniied grace:
So rally .agen" and put Uncle Ben
Right back in his g~randfather's place..

To run q political race,

Went round ut terrible pace.

Nobody WAS in 1t, not cen for q minute,
Beside our old Tippecanoe.
And grandfather's hat ats Ben. etc.
A chip OF the same old block
Is brave little Ben of to-day.
He comes from the genuine stock,
As none will deny OF gainsay.

Ever faithful and loyal and true,

4 Successful Hunt in the Saw
tooth Range.

John Rider, who enjoys the so.
briquet of Grizzly" Rider from his
record as a grizzly bear hunter, and
w. J. Darlington returned Thurs
day morning from a two weeks
hunting expedition in the Sawtooth
range, near the headwaters of the
Salmon river. Their first expert
ence was at Cape Horn, where Mr..
Darlington killed two fawns and
"Grizzly" brought down two fine,
large deer. After remaining in camp
three or four days, the ambitious
hunters started out again in search
of fresh spoils, and added q noun
tain goat and coyote to the record.
The next day Mr.. Darlington scent
ed elk from afar, and started out
in hot pursuit, but "Grizzly" was
already on the ground and had
brought down a superb looking elk,
which he proudly bore to camp.
In the meantime a snow storm
came up, and Mr.. Darlington, los
ing his bearings, wandered about
until daybreak, when the storm
subsidized, and he started for head
quarters. While en- route, about
two miles from camp, he encoun-
tered, with feelings of satisfaction
and dismay, a huge grizzly bear
and three half-grown cubs. He first
saw one of the cubs about fifty
yards away, which he shot through
the body. The wounded cub set up
the most terrific bowls, which
doubtless sounded like a death
knell to the imprudent hunter,
knowing what a dangerous foe the
mother bear is when the safety of
her cubs is threatened. The old
bear was in thicket near by and
hearing the howls of her wounded
cub, rushed furiously out to charg Z
upon the assailant of her young.
Now was the time for the hunters
aim to be steadiness itself-for the
failure to make fatal shot would
mean most certain death to the
hunter. Mr.. Darlington took a
deadly aim and, fortunately, killed
the maddened bear in its tracks.
He then hurriedly dispatched the
cubs. Mr.. Rider, although a young
man, is an experienced bear hunter,
and says Mr.. Darlington took des-
perate chances when be fred upon
the cub. Grizzly's mode is to kill
the old bear first, that is provided
you have an opportunity of doing
so, and under no circumstances is
it wise to make the first attack
upon the cubs.
The bear skins, elk horns, etc.,
were brought in in good shape. and
attracted many people to the Bax-
ter Hotel, were they were spread
out for their inspection.
Both Mr.. Darlington and Mr..
Rider can be justly proud of their
late hunting episode. Doubtless,
others stimulated by their success,
will inaugurate fresh hunting par
ties and start out for vigorous
hunt after old bruin.

WATCH" said one of our assayers to
q Journal scribe, recently, and it
would do we'll for an assayer to be
cross-eyed SO that he can keep on
with his work and at the same time
observe what the claim owner is up
to who brought in the ore samples
that are expected to run up into the
hundreds. Every once in a while
our ore buyers get left on a ship
ment, and it is difficult to determine
where the fault lies, as the ore is
always carefully sampled and as
sayed, and a check made, before
being placed on the market.
"In one instance think we got
onto the racket. Not so very long
ago q lot of ore was received at one
of our sampling works. The owner
of the ore was on hand to see it
sampled, and haunted the plate
room like a ghost. He smoked an
old cob pipe, and just as the ore
sample was about to be divided and
bottled he clumsily dropped the
ashes from his pipe onto the plate
and into the sample, after which be
left for uptown.
"The plate man was up to snuff,
and more, he didn't exactly like
the mannuvre of the man with the
pipe, 80 he made another sample,
but had both lots assayed. The lot
containing the ashes from the
miners pipe went between four and
five thousand ounces in silver to
the ton, while the regular sample
assayed only about forty ounces.
The vigilance of the plate man
saved the ore buyers many thous-
ands of dollars. Salt Lake Stock

The nominees Of the county re-
publican and democratic conven-
tons, 80 far as they are known
hereabouts, seem to be good mem
as fellow-citizens nominated for
public Office should be. TITS not
the rank and file, or even the old
party leaders, as class, that third
party voters so much object to.
Human nature averages pretty we'll
but principles of action differ, and
somtimes come to the front in such
shape that the man who wants to
do right is forced to stake all upon
it, friends and foes if necessary.
Such seems to be the money ques-
ton, not alone to the "silver states, I"
but to growing hundreds of thous-
ands of voters all over the United
States. Men of the old parties fall
into line, for the people must have
their plain rights in some of these
things.
A UNITED STATES Senator has a
salary, we believe, of $6,O0O-fve
or six, we don't remember which,
it matters little, but what we desire
to say is this: the United States
Senate is full of men drawing $780,
600 a year as attorneys for cor
porations.
You know who they are.
What else, then, are we to expect
but class legislation?

pay best.
