"Matrimony under false pretenses,
is the title of a newspaper article.
How often does it occur otherwise?
The false pretenses are, as a rule,
used only for good purposes, but
it cannot be denied that they are used
in some shape in nearly all court
ships.

Mr.. Hannah received letter yester-
day from Commissioner Wells, stat
ing that he had not dollar for col
lecting any more exhibits for the
Worlds Fair. This statement, com
ing just at the time we should and
are prepared to make our grand dis
play, is certainly a great misfortune
to Idaho, especially when our most
formidable rivals have given up the
contest; but Hannah has great stay
ing qualities, and is taking this mat
ter in his own hands, and is going to
make grand effort to complete this
great enterprise IN behalf of Idaho,
and appeals to every good citizen Of
the state TO lend helping hand
Something ought to be done to for
ward regularly supply of fruit, ant
a fund should be raised fer that pur
pose.

The bachelors of Weiser gave a
spider web social in the courthouse
yard last Saturday evening, which
was well attended, and royal good
time was had. Owing to the innate de-
sire of some pilfering parties to feast
upon the good things" at the ex-
pense of others, the lovers OF ice
cream were compelled to be content
with limited supply, which, we VEN
ture to say, WAS sore disappointment
to those who have had the pleasure of
sampling that delectable article made
by Mrs. Jenne.

we hope will be of benefit to our

he has to sell, trade or wishes to buy.
If you want to sell a span of horses,
a COW, a wagon, or piece OF land;
or if you want to trade a saddle for
a milk COW, or milk COW for ma
tional bank; or want to buy half a
dozen pigs, or have any kind of a
trade you want to make, or want a
job, or want to hire man, just drop
letter or card and we will insert,
free, five lines announcing the fact
Someone may see it and take you up

of time. Fire them along.

The sage of the SIGNAL took his
departure for Ketchum where he goes
to meet with the press association,
which convened there the 14th inst.
1t was his intention on leaving here
to introduce a resolution before that
body, that it was the sense of the con
vention that subscribers settle up at
least once during a newspaper mans
journalistic career He had speech
prepared for the occasion, and to for
tify his position he carried with him
large volume of statistics compiled
from the SIGNALS delinquent list.
Should he succeed in passing his res
olution, he will feel justified in the
outlay of twenty-five cents spent for
crackers and cheese, to appease his
gnawing appetite while going and
returning. The good people OF
Ketchum feed and lodge the editors
while there.

People have been going it quite
fast in financial way, but now that
a furry of hard times is upon us
they are flying to the other extreme,
and in drawing the lines of retrench-
ment too taut, are adding fuel to the
fire of financial panic. Keep within
your means, of course, but don't
hoard. Spend what you are able to,
and you who have plenty of money
go on with your investments in safe
enterprises and thus, by giving en-
ployment to the needy, alleviate, to al
extent, the pressure of the times
Above all, don't needlessly CROWD
debtors.

1t has been proposed to devote portion
OF the COURIER each week to things of in
terest occurring in our churches. II the
young people of each church would select
one or more of their number to act as edi-
tors to report the progress of church life
i would tlsD serve as kind or school OF
journalism for our young people and ed
tend to awaken ana keep alive an interest
in people who do not habitually attend
churdh service.
Surely the religious and moral life OF
the community is of sufficient importance
to insure general interest in this corner.
THE UNIvERsALTsT CHURCH.
The Y. p. G. u. meets on Saturday even
ing of each week to consider and analyze,
in an absolutely informal way, the Sunday
! evening subject. The good to be derived
is twofold: Qst) 1t develops the CONVEX
satioIal talents Of those who participate.
To be called on, at moments notice, to
express in words an opinion on subject,
must quicken the faculty which uses
words as its Instruments. 1t being in the
circle OF familiar conversation, all restraint
is removed and one finds himself talking
before he knows it. (2d) One listening
to SO many opinions gets new light and a
larger outlook. The meeting next Satur-
day evening is at Mrs. Dykes. The pas
tor is giving course of Sunday evening
talks on the general subject, lessons
from Bits of Sightseeing He lays down
the fundamental principle that every OBJ
ject has central life principle or soul
through which il is connected with Eter-
nal Truth and the Creator. We should,
therefore, seek TO penetrate to the inner
life of each defect, that We may learn the
lesson which the Creator would teach
thereby. Last Sunday evening. the sub
iect was lessons from Washington" The
speaker drew word picture of the city
as viewed from a height of 800 feet-the
top of Washington monument,the highest
shaft in the world. He pictured scenes
from the House OF Representatives and the
Senate, gave a history Of the ''spOils sys-
tem;n also told how several national
songs came into being. In closing he
drew a moral lesson from the contrast be-
tween Arlington, the home OF Lee, now a
cemetery for Union soldiers killed in the
war and Mf.Nernon,t the old home of Wash
ington, to which many, many thousands
OF American people make pilgrimages each |

Mr.. -, newly made millionaire, has
distinct social aspirations and does not par
ticularly care to own up to what he thinks
is his somewhat plebeian lineage. Not
withstanding this little weakness, however,
he was ever an affectionate and dutiful son
to the plain old farmer and his wife who
toiled and moiled to give him his first start
in the world One Of his first inheritances
when they died was pair Of portraits done
by rural painter-two pictures with no
merit whatever from an artistic stand
point, but startlingly like as such daubs
often are, with the homely Sunday clothes
OF the wearers realistically represented.
Mr.. meanwhile had become quite cele-
brated for his art collection, and his first
impulse on receiving these staring and uil-
mistakably bourgeois portraits was to rele-
gate them to the garret.
Filial affection, however, pleaded for the
familiar old figures, and in the midst OF
his perplexity brilliant idea struck him.
He sent for Mr.. A, u famous artist, and in
duced him to dress up his old parents in the
most aristocratic garments OF their day,
leaving the dear old faces intact, but even
going TO the length Of arranging the old
lady's hair so that when the picture was
hung in his magnificent hall she might
have been taken for a duchess, SO regal
were her attire and surroundings, while
the old gentleman, fondling the head Of the
setter between his knees, looked like "a real
old English gentleman all Of the olden

BEaTEh OF HIS OWN GAME.
A Youthful Auditor Tells - story BigE~,
Thar Uncle Bin Does.

1t was great fun for the boys in the vii
age where Uncle Dill lived to get him start
ell telling some Of his big stories. Appar
emily there were no bounds to his imagina
ton and to the number of his tales. Most
of them were connected in some way with
the Hudson. as he had spent. nearly his
whole life on the river. ~
Seated OH a striugpiece of the wharf one
afternoon with number of youngsters
around him lie began by telling his audi
ence what wonderful river the Hudson
was
Boys" he said, 81 tell yer that ere is a
mighty fine river. Yer kin go most any
where yer mind to on her Yessir, yer kin
go to ther north pole an ter the south pole.
The boys wiuked to one another. but did
not venture to make any remarks.
.IIow about Captain Broat's sloop, Uncle
Billf" asked one of his auditors.
"Ah, murmured the old man, 'she was
dandy, she was. Why, I've seen that 'ere

straw bay under full sail when ther breeze
was so stiff that the other boats had two
reefs in their mains'ls an their jibs bobbed,
and some of 'em with their peaks dropped.
We've gone slashin down Hayerstraw bay
with ole Snry's bow under water more'n
half ther time an didn't mind it at all.
She was a great slo'p, now, if yer wanter
know it."
How did you like havin the West Point
lellers shoot holes through the mainsail,
Uncle Bllf" asked an auditor.
II didn't like it nohow. 'Tain't no use
tryin ter fool with them fellers, they're tew
everlastin reckalous. One o. them shots

fred right at my head. | saw the bullet
comm an caught it between my teeth and
shook it at him. The Injun gave yell
and run as hard as he could"
There was a howl from the other boys,
but Uncle Bill, with look Of deep disgust
Mt being beaten at his own game, exclaimed
in tones of great disapproval:
"Ah. you shalier pill, you, what do yer
want ter lie to er poor ole man furt" And
he got up and walked slowly away.
