Whatever you do, fellow suf-
ferer, don't gossip. In the first
place, it is a cowardly and wick
ed thing to do-to repeat the
evil of any human being, espec-
tally if you have it only by hear
say, and secondly it is a bad
form. If you will do it, remem-
ber that the chickens come home
to roost, and the same torture
will be inflicted on you some day
that you are putting on others.
You won't enjoy it, be sure of
that. And then, haven't you
some better, finer way of pass
ing the time? For shame alone
you should learn to speak no
evil of your neighbor, no matter
how bad your thoughts.

The Third House had another
interesting session in Boise City
one day last week. Nominations
for a United States senator was
declared in order.
Maden-I wish to explain my
self before casting my vote. I
have been annoyed almost to
death by the candidates and lob
byists for the last week, and
finally promised to vote for VIM.
Payne, of Shoshone, but have
changed my mind since I heard
the story in regard to his actions
at the theater not long ago. 1t
appears that he was witnessing
a play where there was a death
scene of a beautiful young lady
on the stage, and it was very eff
fecting. The entire audience
was crying when this man Payne
had the audacity and gall to clap
his hands and started to throw a
boquet at the dying lady, but a
friend of his interferred and told
him he was entirely out of place
acting in that manner. Payne
turned upon his friend, holding
his boquet high in the air, and
said: Death bed scene or no
death-bed scene, | will give SO
to sit up with the corpse until
morning."
Ballantine-I would vote for
Phil O'Rourke, but am afraid he
will be elected.
Davis-I pass.
Ben Rich, in explaining his
, vote, stated it was his intention
to vote for Mr.. Peterson, believ-
ing him to be man who never
made a mistake, but he was now
. convinced that he was a person
who made very dangerous mis-

; says Mr.. Rich, Peterson, in

and had exterminated the hated

are SO much nicer than the
, worms, don't you ? Peterson,
