The people who purchased that en-

plagued with their own simplicity |
that instead Of exposing the fraud |
they did what they could to induce
others to bite at the same snap in
order that they might have COM
pany in their folly. In this way
those who were cheated by the
scamp became his warmest sup
porters and much of the success of
his scheme was due to the vanity
of his dupes. We sometimes think
that new countries are built up on
about the same plan. People are
deceived by exaggerated and 70
mantle stories to settle in new
locality which turns out to be an
utter disappointment; but rather
than acknowledge their own mis-
take they turn romancers them.
selves. and do all they can to de-
ceive others and induce them to
join in their misfortune. But be.
cause these frauds have been perpe-
trated it does not follow that there
are no genuine bargains in engrav-
ings or no good localities unsettled.
For instance, take a section of
country like this in southwestern
Idaho. Here are thousands of
acres Of unoccupied lands and ex-
haustless supplies of water, miles
and miles Of excellent natural
pasture, mountains Of mineral
wealth, endless forests and mild.
healthful climate. These are sub
stantial facts which appeal to the
reason and judgment of people.
Let us look down the Payette val
ley for moment and get an idea
of the possibilities of a country
like this; see what has been done,
and from existing facts arrive at
future conclusions. Let US 60 back

from the conjunction of the. Snake

set out and the fruit industry grew
with unparalleled rapidly. At
frst it was thought that only par
ticular localities were adapted to
successful fruit culture, but a. new |
people came in and new ventures |
were made, it soon became estab-
lished that every section Of the
country was equally favorable. |
The result has been that Payette
has grown to be q respectable town
with brick business blocks, brick

by magnificent orchards, some of
them sixty acres in extent; two
large nurseries are thriving near at

yet, scarcely, been touched. Even
the people who have seen the devel.
opment can scarcely realize what
it means. Thousands and thous.
ands of acres of just such lands
are now lying open and unoccupied
which may be purchased on the
most reasonable terms. What bet
ter opportunities can active ard
enterprising people desire? What
grander possibilities are anywhere
afforded? What folly it is for peo-
pie to cling to the old, over.crowded
states struggling and striving for a
bare existence when such coun.
try invites them to settlement.
The opportunities for acquiring
cheap homes are rapidly passing
away, and one almost commits q
crime by neglectingthe chances Of

The male quail, or Bob White" de-
serves honorable mention among galli-
naceous birds because he is particular
ly good to his wife. He always helps
her to hatch her eggs. and if anything
keeps her away will take the whole
duty on himself. This is particularly
attested by writer quoted By Capt.
Bendire in his Life Histories of North
American Birds" He says: I'm June,
1886, while was on a visit to DIR. J. NJ
Pickett, of Cedarville, Ala, he informed
me of having seen a male Bob White
incubating. He had visited the nest
at various times on different days, and
always found the male bird on the
nest. Wishing to be an eyewitness of
so interesting a sight, l rode several
miles with the doctor to the nest.
There we found Bob White faithfully
warming his treasures, but not into life;
the eggs were never hatched. DIR.
Pickett frequently went to the nest
until long after the period of incuba-
ton had elapsed, and finding that the
eggs would no. hatch, he destroyed
them, to prevent the useless occupa-
ton OF the nest by the male. The fe-
male had probably been dead some
hours before the male found the nest
serted; hence the eggs cooled and
would not hatch"

Americans are not the only people
who show an undue reverence for a
lordly title. The author of Around
and About South America" tells of his
visit to Stanley, Falkland islands, the
southernmost town on the globe,
where an incident convinced him that
a name sometimes equals an event.
The decidedly English expression of
the town is greatly heightened upon
going on shore, where l land upon a
small jetty, at whose extremity stands
a pyramidal brick aud stone monu-
ment, bearing on tablet the rather in
expressive communication: ALFRED,
oath February, 1874"
Knowing that many nations had at
different times claimed possession of
these islands, and that several con-
ficts had resulted, it was but natural
to suppose that this proud pile dis
tinguished the spot where some British
Horatius Coolies had, single-handed, re-
pelled the landing cutters of several
French or Spanish men-of-war, and
that his appreciative countrymen had
thus made the fact known to such of
the great world as might by accident
stray thither.
The very first citizen / met begged
to tell me more of this brave, this
doughty Alfred. apologizing, of course,
for memory defective in matters Of
historical detail. And my blood al

There were several persons in the

of squirting blood from their eyes when
disturbed. Many witnesses agree in
the assertion that the little animals
really possess this power. According
to one observer, the blood or the LIQUID
resembling blood, comes from little
orifices just above and behind the
eyes, and it appears to have d stupefv-
ing effect upon an animal covered
with it.
The horned toad, says the Youths
Companion, is strange-lookieg crea-
ture. and in certain ways its appearance
recalls one of the most remarka bic
monsters that in past geological ages
lived in the western part of America
the triceratops of Prof Marsh.
This gigantic animal, whose name
means 'three-horned face had its
skull inclosed in u bony helmet on the
upper part of which, over the nose,
were three stout horns. The head OF
one of these monsters is no less than
eight feet long
When horned toad IS laid upon the
head Of the triceratops the resem mblance
is quite striking, as if this little modern
inhabitant of some of the sandy plains

ton, with variations, of the wonderful
beast that roamed there in ancient
