Go Thou to Your Local Agent.

Idaho Register
The fact has just come to light that
last fall several of our ranchers were
gulled by slick-tongued insurance
agent who represented company out
side of Idaho and would insure almost
anything and in any manner, just to
suit the whims of his victim, and
collecting the initiatory fee. For
instance he would insure hay and
grain in the stack when the company
were not doing that kind of business,
and as a consequence the farmer
would lose what he bad paid the
agent. About twenty-five farmers
were taken in by this shyster. The
sooner that people learn to deal witt
agents with whom they are acquainted
the better off they will be.

Mr.. Thurston is in Washington asking to
take away my throne. No one even tells
me this officially. Have | done anything
wrong that this wrong should be done me
and my people? | am coming to Wash
ington to plead for my throne, my nation
and my flag. Will not the great American
people hear meY kAIAULANI.
We were heartily in favor of annex
ing Hawaii until we read the above
heart-rending appeal from the Prin-
cess. 1t has broken us all up. Just
thing of great big government de-
prlving a poor weeping girl of her
thronel Indeed, it is shameful. How
cruel of Uncle Sam to bust the dear
girls hopes and stain her sweet eyes
with tears What pangs must rend
her little throbbing heart, after hav-
ing exiled herself for the purpose of
training her mind and fitting herself
to mount the throne, with her face
wreathed in charming bushes and her
bosom heaving with high-toned pride
at the homage of the multitude, to
thus have her girlish dream broken
so rudely. Her hope of reigning as
belle of the Pacific is dashed to the
ground. She cannot have that par
ticular set of her own she had beer
dreaming Of all these years. Who
can tell what other castles were bull
in her young heart-what visions O
kingly wooers kneeling at the foot o
her throne But now they will lool
down upon her-she has no throne
her dreams have been throne away
Oh, cruel country of oursl HOY
could you take away her throne?

Without a Parallel.

Without parallel IN the history of
education enterprise stands the offer
of The Oregonian to its thousands of
readers and friends. Such an offer
has never been made before, and it
should have your careful con-
sideration. The merits of this
liberal and mammoth literary enter
prise can be judged only by careful
investigation. Every one should
therefore, give the attention to this
offer that its Importance and liberality
deserve.
The Oregonian edition comprises
many features worthy of special
mention.
1. A thorough equipment of new
maps up to date, costing $50, 600 tc
produce.
2. The American copyrighted
articles, rewritten to date, by
eminent American writers. In Others
respects this edition is word for word
line for line, page for page, identica
with the expensive Edinburg edition
costing SO per volume.
3. But the crowning work of thi
edition is its American revisions ant
additions, prepared under the direc
supervisions of the widely-know
encyclopedia editor, w. H. DePuy
D. D., L. L. D., assisted by corp
, of trained writers, thoroughly re
, vising the work to date.
Not only are all scientific an
historical subjects brought absolutel
} up to date, but vast fund of ne
/ information is added relating TO ou
material. social, industrial an
l educational progress, together wit
more than 10000 new Geographic

Bro. Davis, of the Enterprise, ex
presses his opinion as follows:
Some Idaho editors are suffering
from vehement independency and
aggravated self-esteem. They i'm
agine that it is reflection on their
moral and fnacial integrity to have
any part of the implements of their
trade exempt from execution. We
surmise that those proud aristocrats
have never been broke They have
never felt the dull heavy weight of
the sheriffs hammer as it thudded
dolefully on the long primer case or
raped merrily athwart the shooting
stick. It's all right for those powerful
plutocrats to scoff atlegal exemptions; !;
but for the poor son-of-a-gun that
runs paper down in this section of
the land of the free and the home of
the drought and the cinch-bug and the
non subscriber, its a God all mighty
blessing. We think benevolent legis-
lation might make another stride in
the direction of editorial charity
Mortgages should be exempt from
foreclosure, bills payable should be
non presentable: bills receivable
should be made legal tender and every
publisher of a country paper-we
mean country like this-should be
public pensioner. If some of these
opulent publishers will run dowr
here some day and board with us {
week and examine our wardrobe, they
will conclude that in certain cases
exemptions are more or less necessary
If we were running a paper on th'
dump of big gold or silver mine an'
running down to the mint ever,
Saturday evening to cash in ou
bullion, we would rave against exemp
tions, too; but when man runs hi
sheet on the dump of decayed stink
bugs and blue clay, and deposits hi
weekly receipts in a gunny sack
down cellar, he feels differently abou
certain legal propositions. Don
= abuse the exemption too vociferously
You may need it some day yoursel
