spunky, but that goat seemed to have a
grudge against Pa from the first. If
there were any places on Pas manly

his head, Pa don't know where the

but | saw the Nirish woman that owned
the goat coming around the corner of the
house with cistern pole. just as Pa
was getting the goat out Of the gate the
goat got crossways of the gate, and Pa
yanked and doubled the goat right up,
and | thought he had broke the goats

she jabbed Pa with the cistern pole lust
below the belt, and she tried to get hold
on Pas hair, but he had her there. No
woman can get the advantage of Pa that
way, cause Ma has tried it. Well, Pa
| explained 1t to the woman, and she let
Pa off If he would pay her So for dam
ages to her goat and he paid it, and then
we took the nannygOat, and it went
right along with us. But have got my
opinion of a baby that will drink goats
milk. Gosh, it is like this stuff that
| comes in spoiled cocoanut.
The baby hasn't done anything but
blat since the nurse coupled it onto the
goat hydrant. l had to take all my play
things out of the basement to keen the
goat from eating them. Iguess themilk

The goat got to eating some roman can

the coal bin and chewed them aroundthe

a coal fell out of the furnace on the

can't milk nothing but a milk wagon.

when the fireworks went off. Well,
there was balls of green and red and blue

the goat just locked astonished and

hair began to burn the goat gave one
snort and went between Pa and the hired
girl like it was shot out of cannon, and
it knocked Pa over wash boiler into the

and repeated the catekism, and the goat
jumped up ON the brick furnace, and
they couldn't get it down.

down and took Pa by the pants and

Captain Ben Ferguson, collector on the
ferryboat Hite, is always reminiscent.
The other day the captain said to me:
You seldom hear of a man making
$4,000 in one night in these days, but /
know of such an instance. Mr.. Cole
man, who ran a foundry on Washington
street, near Brook, did it. In relating it
to me he exhibited no delight whatever.
HIS words We're: Captain, made 500
600 last night; went to bed early and
slept soundly. You know the price of
iron went up. and fortunately 1 had
enough on hand, which | had purchased
at low figure, to net me fortune As
Captain Ferguson concluded the story
he told another of how Dennis Long
made 100000 because the price of iron
dropped out of sight 1t was Just at a
time when Mr.. Long had failed in bust
ness and told Captain Ferguson that he
was 100000 in debt.
well, said the captain. Dennis Long
Went up to indianapolis to bid on the
construction of the city waterworks.
There was but Que other bidder. and
Mr.. Long was awarded the contract.
Not long after iron began fuctuating.
and Longs estimate having been made
on the basis that iron would advance
still more III price, it already being high
at the time. he of course found that as
it decreased he was reaping golden
harvest. Well, iron went down and
down. When it stopped, it was worth
hardly anything. Mr.. Long, as l said,
made 100000 by this, and he's been
making money ever since. Louisville

THE BABY AND THE GOAT.
swell, how is the baby?" asked the
grocery man of the bad boy as he came
into the grocery smelling very ''horsy"
and sat down on the chair with the back
gone and looked very tired
ooh, darn the baby! Everybody asks
me about the baby, as though it was
mine. don't pay no attention to the
darn thing, except to notice the foolish
ness going on around the house. Say, l
guess that baby will grow up to be a
hire engine. The nurse coupled the baby
onto a section of rubber hose that runs
down into bottle of milk, and it began
to get up steam, and pretty soon the
milk began to disappear, Just like the
water does when fire engine couples
on to hydrant. Pa calls the baby old
No. 2 lam No. l., and if Pa had hook
and ladder truck and hose cart and a
lire gong he would imagine he was chief
engineer of the fire department. But the
baby kicks on this milk wagon milk and
bowls like a dog that's got lost.
The doctor told Pa the best thing he
could do was to get a goat, but Pa said
since we nishiated him into the Masons
with the goat he wouldn't have a goat
around no how. The doc told Pa the
other kind of IA goat think it was a
Samantha goat he said-wouldn't kick
with its head, and Pa sent me up into
the Polack settlement to see if | couldn't
borry milk goat for few weeks. |
got woman to lend us her goat till the
baby got big enough to chew beef for
81 week and paid 81 in advance. and
Pa went up in the evening to help me
get the goat. Well, it was the darndest
mistake you ever see There was two
goats so near alike you could not tell
which was the goat we leased, and the
other goat was the chum of our goat,
but 1t belonged to Nirish woman. We
got bed cord hitched around the Nirish
goat, and that goat didn't recognize the
lease, and when we tried to Jerk it along
1t rared right up and made things real
quick for Pa. | don't know what there
Is about a goat that makes it get so

4 LITTLE Shouting .Scrnpe.

Sunday morning there was a
shooting scrape in Lake district
which came near terminating IA
tally. The version we have of the
difficulty is as follows: Charles
A. Thompson and Willie Jones,
aged 10 and Is years respectively,
made a horse trade on Friday be-
fore, and Jones, finding he had
rather the worst of the bargain,
wanted to back out, to which the
other objected. Sunday morning
Thompson went to Jones pasture,
let down the fence and took one of
the horses out and was taking it
home when young Jones started to
stop him. lie forbid him taking
the horse and drawing a six-shoot-
er threatened to shoot. Thomp-
son retreated from him at first but
later picked up a club and started
for Jones, endeavoring to strike
him. Jones then shot, the ball
glancing on the shoulder and graz
ing the neck, breaking the skin.
After firing the shot Jones went to
Mt Idaho and gave himself up to
the sheriff. but there being no COM
plant against him he was released
Monday. On Wednesday Thomp-
son came to Grangeville and swore
out a warrant of arrest before
Judge Woodward. The prelimi-
nary examination will be held next
Wednesday.

Bat Result of u BWrsted Boom.

The tenderfoot boom at Boise
City has involved the municipality
in serious straits and strict econo-
my is now the order of the day.
The electric light service ON the
public streets has been discontin-
ued and the police force reduced.
The costly public buildings and
other Improvements for which bonds
were issued are uncompleted and
the money all spent. This was Il
tenderfoot boom. The tenderfeet
flOcked there like locusts some five
years ago, and seeing their oppor-
tunity quietly secured long time
options on all the ranch property
adjoining town they could get, cut
it up into town lots and then got
in and doomed the town, voted
large issues OF bonds and ran things
at high pressure speed in order to
sell lots. 1t is the same old worm
eaten story. The lots We're sold,
the tenderfeet have mostly pulled
out, to repeat the game elsewhere,
and the old-timers are left to reap
the whirlwind and pay the heavy
taxes iAcurred during the boom.
We have" watched this game for a
good many years and our expert
ence is: that it is not safe to trust
a boomer in any town or mining
camp unless he has permanent in
terests to hold him permanently to
the town or camp in which he hap
pens to be located. The class we
refer to are alwas cursing the moss
back for their so-called lack of en-
terprise and righteousness, and
are always ready to vote bonds fol
us mossbacks to pay. The whole
principle and method Of booming
is based on the dishonest desire tc
get suddenly rich without work
