Has enlarged his business,
And calls your attention
10 new stock of goods
Too numerous to mention.
Among them we notice
Fine pigs feet and fish,
And oysters, you can get them
By can or by dish,
Prepared by Mrs. H,
Who knows how to compound
Stews to tickle your palate
Andmake your stomach grow round
Then there is pipes and tobacco,
And fine cigars, too,
And oranges and lemons,
Set out in full view.
He has canned goods, galore,
And sugar and tea,
Which he'll sell cheap for cash,
To both you and to me,
From this time henceforth.
You may think it quite funny,
But I'll deal with Dick Halves,
And get the worth of my money.

The Boise Mining Exchange.

The Boise Mining Exchange is now
fully organized, with board of derect-
ors, president, secretary, treasurer, and
building rented The board and of
ficers are all good and practical bust
ness men. Now if they will all pull to-
gether and on the right lines, Boise
may occupy the position her geograph-
ical location entities her to in building
up the industries of the great state of
of Idaho. Whatever estimates we may
place on the wonderful productiveness
of our agricultural and fruit lands and
and our great stock ranges, our i'm
mense timber supplies and Astounding
water powers, we must all admit that
the very foundation of Idaho's pros
perity is her mining industry. Not
alone one but every county in the state
produces precious metals. Our great
wealth in these resources has scarcely
been touched. Put the business men
Of Boise in touch with the miners and
and they can do much for
zach other
Are the Boise business men broad
nough in their views to comprehend
he possibilities confronting them?

20 Indians inhabit country Of broad
p,ains. with mountain ranges between.
These mountains are remarkably rug
s.d, and rise sharply from the 1owlands.
All over the plains live the Indians.
The country is one Of the most arid
regions on the face Of the globe. says a
correspondent OF the Baltimore Ameri-
can, a whole year passing sometimes
without a drop Of rain. The streams
rise in the mountains, but never reach
the sea. and the debris carried by the
rivers. instead of finding its way to the
ocean. is spread out upon the plains. the
rivers drying up before they reach the
sea. Seriland, in state of Sonora, was
never seen by white man until about
two years ago, when the bureau of eth
nology sent an expedition to explore
that region.
The natives are constantly vigilant,
every moment. from day to day, week
to week, month to month. year to year,
expecting and dreading the approach
of an enemy. They are always pre-
pared for an emergency. The dearth
of water was the greatest obstacle to
the exploration. Every drop we used
was carried from IL to 10 miles by
men under heavy guard. Water there ia
more valuable than gold. and often we
measured it out in spoonfuls. In count
ing the dangers and labor of securing
water we estimated its worth at from
So to 81 quart.

MILE. MARS.

Another famous beauty was the
Countess Guiccioli. who has been i'm
mortalized by Lord Byron and by AL
fred de Musset. Byron says Of her:
"She Is charming. very blond and with
a fairness of complexion rare in Italy.
1t is not the English blond. but rather
that of Sweden and Norway. Her
figure. too. particularly the bust, is Of
rare beauty" Musset alludes eloquent
ly to Byron's passion for this lovely
woman, and Lady Blessington also
draws a graphic picture of her.
Mile. Mars. the renowned comedi-
enne, also had host of admirers in
her day. According to them she was
as nearly perfect as possible and they
dwell at length on the glories Of her
abundant hair and on the rare charm
Of her smile. Her voice was clear and
sweet. and in her complexion the lily
and the rose We'd with each other for
mastery. Her manners were elegant
and her native coquetry was said to be
potent enough to enchant all who ven-
tured to come within its influence.

caused by her. Her voice Is not OF ex-

In this list OF beautiful women must
also be included Emilia Louise de

who showed such rare courage In ef-
