Of Ketchum was well represented.
The people were there, the majority
of them at least, more to Danish

touch of curiosity as to the vote,
than with any anticipation of being

was an attempt at a sort of q vaude.

the young ladies were in bewitching
attire and seemed to be most formi-

eyes and rosy cheeks. The gentle
men looked nervous, each one on
the qui vive to know their fate.
The ballots were counted by Messrs.
II. c. Lewis and w. D. Goehring,
the names being called out amid
the greatest merriment in the audi
ence. Mrs. Laura Tucker received
125 votes, majority Of IS. for the
handsomest lady in the house, and
Robert R. Warren was given an
overwhelming majority for being
the homeliest man. receiving nearly
200 votes. Mr.. Warren is an ac-
knowledged Apollo among the
ladies of Ketchum, which fact no
doubt led to a conspiracy on the
part of the gentlemen less favored
with manly beauty to cast this re-
Election upon his personal charms.

Marrying in Il Panic.

In the early part Of her girlhood Il
woman is apt to think all she has to- do
is to wait and amuse herself in the in
terval; that the future holds the fairy
prince who is sure to present himself
sooner or later, and that he will be all
that she would have him be- She has
made up her mind what he is to be
like, and what must be his various quail
fcatiOns, and she even chooses mental
ly the color of his eyes and his general
appearance She is so sure of her fu-
ture, and that the right man" will fl
nally put in an appearance, that she
gives little or no thought to present
suitors, and remains "in maiden medi-
tation fancy free" until suddenly she
realizes the awful fact that the years
are passing, and her "chances'' are be-
coming lessened, and that the fairy
prince is mirage after all. 1t is then
that the average woman will, in nine
cases out Of ten, take the first available
candidate that offers, rather than re-
main unmarried. Her family expect
her to marry: she is brought up to no
occupations; what the world will say
she has been accustomed to consider
all-important. So, rather than run the
chances of remaining single, she elects
to unite herself for better or for worse
to some comparative stranger who
may be utterly uncongenial the match
being simply the result of a panic

few months she was shamefully and
disrespecfully treated by her son, who

Fancy Now Means Quality.

Fancy Now Means Quality.
The term fancy has been applied
to a class Of poultry deemed of no val
ue except to ornament the show room,
but within the past year, says the Poul
try Keeper, the term has been accepted
as one designating quality in poultry
on the stalls. During the week preeed-
ing Christmas the fancy" dressed
poultry commanded nearly twice as
much per pound as the ordinary. This
may be but a trivial matter on first con-
sideration, but when it is we'll looked
into the subject is worthy of more con-
sideration, for the prices are drawn
strictly on a line which separates the
market into good and bad and this
separation will become wider and wider
as progress is made in the breeds of
farm poultry. 1t plainly shows that
If the farmer is to succeed with poultry
his greatest profit must come by breed
ing the so-called fancy stock, and that
he cannot hope to successfully compete
with fan y stock except by making
speciality of fancy stock himself.
The fancy stock, as bred for market,
does not, however, depend for excel
aence upon the points of the comb, or
few felthers on the middle toe of a
show bird, but upon the compactness
of body and the preponderance of
breast meat, the golden yellow color
of the legs, and the fat condition of
the bird when killed. In fact, the lat
ter is a very important portion of the
requirements, which even the farmer
knows is essential to obtaining high
prices, but to produce a carcass ex-
ceiling in other respects is something he
often overlooks. The true poultryman
makes it his object to satisfy the mar
ket and he will MT be behind his COM
petitors in the use of the proper breeds
necessary to give him any advantages
that may be obtained in that direction,
for he must expect to please the Gus
toners if he desires the highest price.
If there are quotations for fancy
stock and other quotations for that
which is inferior, let the farmer pro-
duce only the fancy kind. There is no
monopoly Of any breed, and no one has
the exclusive right to the control of the
market, and the farmer has an equal
chance with ALL He must remove his
prejudice against the fine breeds, and
might at once cease the claim that
fancy stock is no better than any
other" for the prices refute his claim,
and prove conclusively that there is
not only difference, but a great one,
and his prejudice effects no one as in
.juriously as it does him. Let the farm
er keep fancy stock and he will get
fancy prices. Let him seek to produce
the best that can be placed upon the
market, and he will find profit result
ing instead of a loss. The man who
will not comply with the demands Of
the market must be content to sell at
half price and incur the risk of loss.

AuStrtass ROYAL Masher

To say that any one European prince
Is more frivolous and silly in his mode
Of life than all the others is to give him
a character Of the most contempti-
BILE kind. It is generally agreed in
court life, however, that Arch
duke Louis Victor, brother of the
Austrian emperor, is fully entitled to
the distinction. He is now about 81
years old, but advancing age has fail
ed to bring with it any toning down of
the frivolity which has characterized
this useless prince since youth. Even
in his pursuit Of pleasure there is moth
ing manly, his hobbies all indicating ex-
ceeding narrowness Of mind. Thin,
fair hair and whiskers, sloping shoul-
ders and blue eyes of the goggly varie-
ty are the distinguishing physical char
acteristics of the man who is known in
nearly every European court as a con-
frmed masher and male f1irt. Serious
conversation is impossible with this
brainless fool, one Of whose chief de-
lights it is to pay vapid compliments
to members of the opposite sex. He is

Was Her Own NIiIliner.

A comical experience Of friend Of
mine may be cited as a warning to 9TH
er women who mediate defying bonnet
liner by original methods Of bonnet
trimming, says writer in Kate Fields
Washington. Looking from her Win
dow one Sunday morning when the
tulip trees were in bloom, it flashed
upon on her mind that one of those yel-
low and green striped buds would be
just the touch of the color needed at
the back of her new lace bonnet, the
present somberness of which did not
please her. Two buds were finally Sc
cured, and nestled down in the lace,
where the effect was eminently satisfac-
tory. Pleased with the result Of her ex-
pedient, the bonnet was donned and
my friend serenely made her way down
the aisle to the pew, in the blissful
unconsciOusness Of the sensation she
was to create ere she left the church.
AS the service progressed all thought Of
the tulip bud passed from her mind as
completely as though it had never exist
ed to tempt her errant fancy. Gradual
ly however she became conscious that
a great amount Of suppressed laughter
was going on in the immediate vicinity
during the sermon. Annoyed that she
should have her attention distracted,

Mutso-Hito, Emperor of Japan.
shCrt time the Japanese people real
lied that the move had been made in
their interest. Their appreciation of
the emperOr'S action was shown clear
ly on the occasion of the twenty fifth
anniversary Of his wedding last March,
when festivities Of all kinds were in
dulged in throughout the empire. The
relaxation of Japan's hostile attitude
toward foreigners has not been unac-
companied by trouble. Already two
national legislative assemblies have
been dissolved by the emperor, who
In each case was moved to summary
action by the anti-alien feeling exhib-
tied by the legislators. This feeling is
exhibited almost altogether by people
from interior points; the seacoast in
habitants have already seen the good
effect of freer intercourse with foreign
ers. Emperor Mutso-Hito, the 121st
of his family to rule in Japan, repre-
sents dynasty which began it's career
many centuries before the commence
ment Of the Christian era. He ascend
ed the throne in 1867, being then but
II years old. Three years later he
married the daughter of Prince Ichijo.
The royal pair are both intellectual
to a degree, and believe firmly that
the advancement Of their subjects has
been retarded by the insular prejCdices
which have for centuries prevented the
Introduction of foreign ideas. In
mediately after taking his seat on the
throne Mutso-Hito set his face stead
fastly against this fanatical nativism.
With a view Of i1nbuing the Japanese
people generally with his own views
he has sent many Of his subjects on
foreign tours, his son, the Crown Prince
Kotaishi, having Travelled incognito
through the United States last year.
When celebrating his silver wedding
recently the emperor publicly broke
away from the ancient usage, which
placed Japanese women in position
little better than that Of slaves. In a
public ceremonial, the like of which
had never been seen in Japan, he dem
onstrated practically that w;fe's place

Animals Who Indulge in Stimu1ants.

It has lately been pointed out that
man, after all, is not the only animal
who INDUCES in stimulants. Certain
animals also indulge themselves in this
manner with fatal results, the vehicle
of intoxication in the case Of the lower
order Of beings being a creeping vetch
called the '1oco plant" This is an in
habitant of the ''Texan Panhandle
and is source Of serious danger to
horses and cattle. To them it has all
the allurements which are possessed by
absinthe and gin for. being of another
grade, only the result Of the vetch are
more definitely fatal, even when taken
in moderate measures. Animals who
have tasted Of it are liable to fall over
backwards, their brains being affected
as well as their spinal cords. They
leap heights in their frenzy and dash
down precipices. No rider of horse
who has been thus intoxicated is in a
safe position.-The Hospital.

AN ANGEL UNAWARES,

On this Occasion, at Least, the In
surance Agent Was Welcomed.
An insurance agent, albeit a useful
and at times attractive person, is not
always a welcome visitor. To some
people, indeed, he is a decided bore.
One of this class owns handsome res
idence, and even the thought Of an
agent provokes his ire. One evening
recently he was enjoying his otium- cum
dig, when man walked in on him very
unceremoniously. The visitor was a
total stranger to him, and before he
had time to throw an ink-stand at him
or to ask him to sit down he began
quite calmly and in a most business like
tone to talk.
Have you any insurance on this
house?' said he.
Well, Mr. Otium- cum-dig was afre
in a minute.
What do you mean, sir?" he
stormed, "by breaking into my house,
sir, in this Misunderstanding into my
house with your internal insurance
business? 1t is no concern of yours
Su, WucCueI ILLS uOuSe Is luSuICu or
not. Get out, or I'll throw you OUT
The visitor was as calm as May
morning.
Its no concern of mine whatever"
he replied, 'but thought
"You have no right to think about
what don't concern you, sir,'' inter-
rupted the house owner. II want no
insurance agents forcing themselves
upon me, SIR"
Il understand that perfectly, and I
am DO insurance agent 1 was merely
passing your house, and I observed,
that it was on fire in the rear, and it
occurred to me that if you had no in
surance on it, perhaps you did not
wish it to burn down"
That's what the visitor said, but Mr..
Otium-cum-dig. didn't hear it all; he
had gone to the fire, and the visitor
smiled and followed him.-Detroit Free
Press.
