A STORY FROM IDAHO

Two men in Gepisea, Ida. got
to talking over the old folly as to
which is the mother of the chick
en-, the hen that lays the egg or
the hen that matches them out,
At last the most aggressive of
the twain offered to bet five dol
lars that he had a rooster that
would hatch a setting, This
was such a palpably sure thug
that the other fellow regarded it
as bluff. and flashed his five.
The buffer went home and hor-
ed two holes through the bottom
of a saleratus box, caught a
rooster and ran his legs through
the holes and tied them and
made him be father to ths
chickens in spite of himself.
He won the five and the roos-
ter is just getting able to walk. -

The Dtmorest Contest.

The most important event OF
late was the Demorest contest
fer the Gold Medal. This was
held in the M. e. Church last
Friday evening under the direc-
tion of Mrs. J. j. Pulse. Elabo-
rate and careful preparations
had been made for a most inter
esting entertainment, and 1t is
hardly too much to say that the
most sansnine expectations Were
surpassed, The house was beau
tifuIly lighted, and decorated
with natural flowers and growing
plants. By 7 o'clock there was
a crowd, and hefure the chairman
called to order the church was
packed. Many were presen
from adjoining towns and dist

each wore silver medal gained

them. To which he replied;
Kate and Duplicate;" which
delighted the mother, whose
name was Kate. The twins pros
pered and grew, and in the lapse
Of months the mother presented
hlm with a pair OF brothers.
When they were to be named the
vile asked her lord what he
would name them, to which he
replied: Peter and Repeater
And as Peter was the Christian
name OF her spouse the wife was
again satisfied. Kate and Peter
and Duplicate and Repeater
hlourished as pairs, and when
the brothers just begun to toddle
the husband and father was sur
prised and not little yexed to
be called upon to name second
pair of boys. He was equal to
the occasion, and named one
Max and the other Climax, and

significance Of the latter one he
replied: ut is overproduction

HAWAlIANS BOUND HOME.
Erstwhile Mormons Leave Utah
Because of Desert Heat and
Cold.

A party of sixteen Hawaiian
Mormons, who have been at and
near Salt Lake variously from two
to fifteen years. are at the Russ
House bound home to their
native land. The Hawaiian Con-
sui, Charles I. Wilder. is return
ing them from Salt Lake to Ho-
nolulu at the expense of the Ha-
waiian Government. 1t seems
these poor people have never been
satisfied away from their island
home. The heat of the Wasatch
valley in summer WAS of char
acter they could not endure, and
the frigid winters were far worse
on them. Many have died, es-
pecially in Skull valley, where
the Hawaiians were mostly gath
cred, and where fifty-two yet re-
mnip.
George X. Kamauoha. one OF
the arrivals, said yesterday:
The air on the desert is so
dry and hot compared with that
of Hawaiian where a cool breeze
from the ocean blows much of
the time, that none of US could
ever get used to it. Worse than
this war the cold ard snow of
winter We also missed the fish
and fruits of our native land.
Finally we concluded to go back,
if we could, but we had no money.
So, after a long time, as it seemed
to us. the Havaijan Gpvfnment
arranged to send US back

ing on farms for the Mormon
Church. We were paid so much
day, but never could get ahead
much. The Mormon Church is
all right but we want to get home. .
