ferer, don't gossip. In the nrst
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-
Der 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 timer 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.
MadenI wish to explain my
self before casting my vote. /
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 | heard
the story in regard to his actions
l at the theater not long ago. Ii
appears that he was Witnessing
5 a play where there was q death
: scene of a beautiful young lady
e on the stage. and it was very eff
i fecting. The entire audience
: was crying when this man Payne
!, had the audacity and gall 20 clap
his hands and started to throw a
g boquet at the dying lady, but a
5 friend of his interferred and told
; him he was entirely out of place
!. acting in that manner. Payne
/ turned upon his friend, holding
g his boquet high in the air. and
e said: ..Death-bed scene or no
L death-bed scene, / viii give so
t to sit up with the corpse until
t morning"
n BGllantine- would vote for
g Phil O'Rourke, but am afraid he
e viii be elected.

Ben Rich, IN explaining his
: vote, stated ii was his intention
|. to vote for Mr. Peterson, believ-
;. ing him to be man who never
made mistake, but he was now
5 convinced that he was a person
who made very dangerous mis-
2 takes. Only q short time ago,
J. says Mr.. Rich, Peterson. IL
r company with one of the bellies
! of Boise, was seated beneath one
l. of our lovely trees. 1t was at l
n time when the birds had made I
< successful war upon the worms
5 and had exterminated the hateC
s things entirely. The young lady
IS casting her eyes towards the war
l. blers within the branches said
l. .sOh. Peterson, think the bird:
5 are so much nicer than the
e worms, don't you 2 Peterson
looking down into those dreamy
r eyes replied: i really dom
IS know. IL never h-had tbs
d b-birds."
