meeting in Judge Cartoons office
next Monday evening for the pur-
pose of hearing the report of the
committee appointed to look after
the finances of the last ball. We
understand that the receipts netted
over $40. The money is to go in
to fund to purchase the necessary
outfit for a fire brigade. An organ
ization for this purpose will be eff
fected at this same meeting. All
interested take notice and be on
hand at 1880 sharp.
Hon. David G. Brown, collector
ST this district, was in the city on
Sunday and Monday. This was
the first time many of our people
had had an opportunity to meet
Mr.. Brown, and he certainly made a
very good impression. He explains
his appearant lack of attention to
the Bonner's Ferry Office by saying
that Mr.. Mcclure has handled the
business at this place in such mn
efficient manner as to require very
little more than formal attention
from him.
Dan Chisholm commenced car
rying the mail last Saturday be-
tween Bonner's Ferry and Lucas.
The mail has been carried on the
boats, but now that navigation is
closed, it is taken overland on
horseback. 1t leaves this place on
Tuesdays and Saturdays and ar
rives on Mondays and Fridays.
The Alton is froze in about six
miles below town. She has on her
barge a car load of merchandise for
the Boundary Line store. 1t is
not probable that the river will
open again this fall, and the goods
will most likely have to be freight
ed through over the sleigh road.
Charles E. Noyes will close out
his entire stock Of goods in the
next 80 days and offers them at cost.
He has just received a fine line of
mems, ladies' and children's shoes.
Go and examine his stock. He Of
fers some great bargains.
-Wm. Ainslie and others con-
stituted a hunting party which
put in three days this week on Cow
creek, some five miles distant from
town. They killed 25 deer, which
woud serve as an indication that
this is pretty good game country.
Mr.. J. G. Rykert, the Canad-
ian customs officer, was up this
week to meet Mrs. Rykert who was
returning from Buffalo, N. Y.
They will not start home till
Thursday.
MIR. H. P. Green, an old till
cum of the writer's, returned from
four months absence in the Pa
louise last Saturday evening.
R. w. Hummer returned Tues
day evening from his Kootenai
Lake trip. He reports having
made quick disposal of his cargo.
The case of Richard Fry VS..
Milo Sommers is on trial before
Judge Carlton. Fry seeks to re-
cover for hay cut on an allotment.
Cartwright & Doyle have
opened saloon at Troy. They
are old timers in the country and
favorably known.
Mr.. A. L. Jameson visited the
county seat on legal busines this
week, and got what he went after.

To Connect the G. N. Ry with Steamer:

To Connect the G. N. Ry with Steamers
Mr.. James Eckert is in the city
to secure men to work on opening
up sleigh road from Bonner's Fer
ry to Kootenai Lake, to connect the
Great Northern and Kootenai Lake
steamers. The road will run down
the North side of the river instead
of the south as last winter. This
will shorten the distance several
miles. They will have the road in
operation by the latter part of next
week, and there will be a big traffic
over it this winter. The ranchers
are building it.

a Genuine Philanthropist.

One Of New Y ork's philanthropic me1-
chants spends thousands of dollars each
year in aiding the poor, but none of his
beneficiaries ever gets a cent in cash.
His idea is that money giving democrat
ICES the recipient lie will buy groceries
and pay rent for q distressed family and
secure employment for the wage earn
ers. Once they are at work he tells
them that he considers it moral obi
cation for them to refund, at any con-
venient season, the sum he has expended.
If they do, he regards the case as a t1i-
umph Of self respect. If they don't, he
finds some excuse for them in his own
mind and keeps right on at his self ap-
pointed task. Last winter he hired a hall
in the Hebrew district down town, en-
gagged a competent teacher and provided
@ number of Jewish girls with free in
structions. Noproselyting was attempt
ed. Indeed not q word was said about
religion. The girls became greatly in
terested, and their brothers begged for
and obtained admittance. Similar classes
are to be established this winter. The
merchant allows himself an income of 49,
600 per year. All the rest of the money
he makes is devoted to the aid Of others.

A Nonti erful Timekceping Automaton.

a Wonderful Timekeeping Automaton.
One of the most wonderful timekeep-
ers known to the horologist was made
in London about 100 years ago and sent
by the president Of the East India COM
pany as a gift to the emperor of China.
The case was made in the form of a
chariot, in which was seated the figure
Of woman. This figure was of pure
ivory and gold and sat with her right
hand resting upon a tiny clock fastened
to the side of the vehicle A part of the
wheels which kept track of the fight of
time were hidden in the body of tiny
bird, which had seemingly just alighted
upon the lady's finger.
Above was a canopy so arranged as to
conceal a silver bell. This bell was fit
ted with miniature hammer of the
same metal, and although it appeared to
have no connection with the clock regu-
larry struck the hours and could be
made to repeat by touching diamond
button on the lady's bodice In the char
lot at the ivory lady's feet there was a
golden figure of dog, and above and in
front were two birds apparently flying
before the chariot. This beautiful orna-
ment was made almost entirely of gold
and was deliberately decorated with pre-
cious stones.-St. Louis Republic.

a Striking resentment,

It is curious how future events are &C.
casionally prefgured by some anticipa-
tory token which, unlike presentiments
and prenonitory dreams, makes perhaps
no impression at the time On those whom
they concern.
Here is striking example. One Of
Charles Dickens sons, from some childish
oddity Of expression in his large, Won
deriny eyes, was given by his father the
very unique sobriquet Of the ocean
Specter,'' by which he was always called
The great novelist never knew of the
weird significance his playfully bestowed
appellation was to bear, for he himself
had been nearly two years in his grave
at the time his little ''Ocean Specter,' -
then lieutenant in the royal navy, died
and was buried at sea.-London Tit-Bits.

GRANDMOTHER SAID.

always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle of the room or
standing carelessly.''
This is what grandmother said, as often, when
a boy,
jumped up and ran out of doors a reckless
hobble-de-hoy.
always set your chair back when you are
going away:
Don't leave it in the middle of the room or
standing carelessly."
These words, repeated long ago, come ever
fresh to mind,
When little duties are o'erlooked or left to lag
behind.
In the daily walks OF busy life when we think
we haven't time
60 be orderly and almost look upon politeness
as crime,
We are quite too apt, from carelessness, to
think, if not to say,
That it matters not if we forget to set our
chairs away.
But it will be found that daily life will be
more worth the living
II we blend, in harmony, the precepts of re.
ceiving and Of giving;
If we heed the tender chidings Gealt out in
childhood's day,
And always set our chair back when we are
going away

Small Fortune Between the Cracks.

A cigar dealer was recently compelled
to move from his down town stand,
which he had occupied for IS years, be-
cause Of the demolition of the old build
ing.
He packed his belongings with many
q sigh of regret. When he had got his
things all out, he turned to the work.
men, who were waiting to begin tearing
down the building, and remarked in a
rather sarcastic tone:
well, boys, you may have all you
find in this old trap"
The worklnen began on the old floor,
which had been worn into hollows by
age. 1t had not been replaced since it
was originally laid.
One OF the men ripped up board with
his crowbar, raising a cloud Of dust.
When he got II out of his eyes, he Saw
something shiny IN the crack.
He picked it up, and it proved to be a
dime. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the crack was lined with
silver.
This was an incentive to the workmen.
They Piled their crowbars with remark
able energy for men poorly paid. In this
instance they were amply rewarded.
In every crack of the floor silver dimes
were found. Some Of them bore dates
of nearly half a century ago. The men
gathered the coin in i1andfuls.
The cigar dealer, in speaking of the oc-
| currence. said that he hadn't the slight
est idea that SO much money could be
lost through carelessness and a poor
floor even in So years.
But it won't happen again, he said.
"When heard of it, l Immediately gave
orders to have my new store refoored
with hard WOOD and no cracks, at my
own expense. New York Herald.

High Explosives.

There are certain explosives of high
power which. when heated, burn quietly
if freely exposed. or il confined explode
only at the spot where heat is applied
without the whole mass taking part in
the explosion. Nitroglycerol, dynamite,
gun cotton, picric acid and the new
German military powder are examples.
This is said to be because they are bad
conductors Of their own explosive wave.
II, however, the same substances are
subjected to a violent shock by the ex-
plosion in their midst of initial charges
of mercury illuminate, the shock seems
to affect all the molecules of the explo-
sive at once, and the whole mass Of the
latter explodes with enormous violence.

The pearl oyster.

!. Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. It is of an entire
" different species, and as matter OF
fact the shells Of the so called pearl oys.
tiers are of far more value to those en-
gagged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California, and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa,
tiers. In 1881 one pearl black one
was sold for $40, 900, and every yea,
since that time many pearls have beer
taken from the beds in the California
gulf valued at over s., 500 each. Chica

White With q Eenceance.

Hereis astate of things which probably
not the wealth Of the Astcrs could buy
in America. Lord and Lady Abingdon
have a place in Dorset known as the
White farm. Everything is accordingly
white. All the farm buildings, the
house itself, and even all the animals on
the place are white. Rabbits, cats,
guinea pigs, hens, horses, COWS, donkeys
and all the creatures are spotless.
But this is not the most remarkable
feature The free and independent Brit
ish men and maids who till the soil and
churn the butter are compelled to attire
themselves in white smocks and white
frocks to bear out the general impression
Of whiteness. New York Recorder.

BESIDE THE BAY OF MONTEREY,

Beside the bay of Monterey,
When morn is on the mountains,
What joy to hear and know not fear,
The cry OF seaborn fountains!
Across the bay Of Monterey
The sea fog, thinly drifting,
The land reveals or shore cOnceals,
Soft scenes, like magic, shifting.
Beside the bay of Monterey
How sweet to walk at even,
When softened dyes from sunset skies
Steal up the sapphire heaven!
Along the reach Of rocky beach
Oh, joy it is to follow,
Where blooms the sea anemone
In every waveworn hollow.
On giant rock that fronts the shock
The spray wet grasses glisten.
Where breaks the wave on cliff and cave
The flowers bend and listen.
count the years by all my tears
And all life'S stormy weather,
Since by the bay of Monterey
We wandered, love, together.
L walk along the changing shore,
Oh, sad and strange it seems!
And if you hear the pillows roar,
You hear them but in dreams.
For you have slept now many day
Upon the shore of Monterey.

ADAMS NAIVETE.
a Woman Defends the First Man From
----n CHARGES of CoWardice.

Woman Defends the First Man From
49," Charges of Cowardice.
And the Lord said, .Hast thou eaten
CT the tree whereof commanded thee
thou shouldst not eat?'' The man said,
1.-THE woman whom thou gavest to be
with me--she gave me of the tree and I
did eat" This, it has been held for cen
turtles, was Adams great sin, for which
he was driven out OF the garden and
his descendants, even to the present gen
Grafton, compelled to work for living.
In addition to bearing the consequences
of his error Adam has been denounced
through all succeeding centuries for his
cowardice and lack of gallantry in try
ing to throw the blame upon the woman
who had been given to be with him
Goods first, best gift to man.
We are glad, therefore, that even after
5000 years of unmerited condemnation
which the memory of our great pro-
genitor has had to bear there has arisen
one person who dares to speak for him.
And it is all the more fortunate that
that person is a woman-a member of
the sex whom Adams words, by a
wrong Interpretation, were held to have
maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline
T. Corbin, Il distinguished authoress. In
her latest book she says of Adams plea:
''This is not the expression of cow
ardice. but Of the innocent and native
belief that anything which this lovely
being, fresh from Gods hand proposed
must be right, and right or wrong
must be done. It is a trait which has
come down in unbroken continuity Of
Inheritance to the latest born of Adam's
sons"
The thought is new one, but there is
not man alive and capable of appreci-
ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will
not indorse it. Where is there man to-
day, barring few crusty old bachelors,
who would not have done the same thing
under like circumstances? The woman
was beautiful, the apple was good, and
Adam was an unsophisticated, ingenious
young man unaccustomed to the little
social arts and receptions that the
