The "God Bless you!" of Honest Hearted
People n Bencdiction.
In an article describing 'The Social
Life of the President" in The Ladies'
Home journal ex-PresideHt Harrison
tells of the fatigues Of handshaking and
also of the benefits of being brought in
contact with the good, honest hearted
people of the country. "In the first two
weeks Of an administration" he says,
"the president shakes hands with from
40, 600 TO 60, 600 persons. The physical
drain Of this is very great, and if the
president is not an instructed hand
shaker lame arm and swollen hand
soon result This may be largely or en-
tirely avoided by using President Hayes
method-tako the hand extended to you
and grip it before your hand is gripped.
1t is the passive band that gets hurt 1t
has been suggested that nod or bow
should be substituted for the handshake,
but it would be quito as admissible to
suggest a revision of the Declaration of
Independence.
1.-THE interest which multitudes attach
TO handshake with the president is So
great that people will endure the great
est discomfort and not little peril to
life or limb TO attain it. These are not
the office seekers, but the good, honest
hearted, patriotic people whose God
bless you is prayer and a benediction.
They come to Washington for the inau-
guration, and later with excursions,
but they are mostly to be found near
their own homes. They come out to
meet the president when he takes Il
journey, and his contact with them and
their unselflsh and eveL affectionate in
terest in him revive his courage and
elevate his purposes. Mr.. Lincoln is
said to have called these popular recep-
tions his public opinion baths. -

would dream Of looking at n veiled lady

RECKLESS NAT GOODWIN.
An illustration of How the Comedian Has
Money to Burn.


A story I have Just heard anent Nat
Goodwin is but another instance of his
reckless generosity and constant desire
TO bum money upon all possible occa-
sions.
Nat had been in the habit Of passing
part Of his time at certain hostelry-
that is all the description necessary Of
the place-presided over by fat, good
naturcd German. They had known each
bther well and were on excellent terms.
II came about one day, during the
broaching Of bill, that Mr. Goodwin
disputed an item Of $50 In doing so he
was morally certain that the indebted
ness was not his. Mine host was equal
" sure on his side Of the contrary.
The dispute waxed hot and heavy.
"Sco here, " saih Goodwin, 81 don't
care for trifing amount like $50. It's
the principle Of the thing that's all.
just the piinciple of the thing"
der same way nit me, retorted the
landlord II dond't care me for $780,

perhaps not" doubted the comedi-
an. But I'd sooner throw the money
away or burn it than give it to you
when / don't owe it to you"
"Ah," " exclaimed the German sarcas-
tically. 'You haf money to purn, eh?
Veil, dond't peliove me dot"
"Is that so?" returned Nat. "Well,
now, I'll tell you what I'll do with
you I'll burn $50 right here before
your eyes if you'll receipt the bill" "
"By Chiminyr' said the host. "I'll
yoost 90 you vonce.
without another word Nat Goodwin
took his checkbook out of his pocket,
filed ont check for $50, tore it out,
applied lighted match to it, and held
il until it was reduced to ashes.
The German, who had watched the
process with bulging eyes, banged q
rubber stamp on the disputed bill,
scrawled his signature across ii and
said with II sigh:

twenty miles. Bags were pulled
over the feet of the packers, and
they were stuffed to prevent
sinking deep into the snow. The
men carried from 100 to $50
pounds, according to the strength
and experience of the individual.
There was one Hercules in the
train who carried regularly $50
pounds-a load for horse over
good road. These burdens
were transported about ten miles
day, and the men struggled all
the distance through the snow.
After the camp was we'll sup
piled, the merchants formed a
trust and suddenly advanced
their prices. The dealers believ-
ed they had corner on flour and
the price was advanced from S75
to $150 a sack. This action
created great Indignation. A
riot was thrt atened. All night
thousands of men marched the
snowy valley walks. An idea of
the throng may be conveyed by
an incident of the night. The
narrator was talking to friend
on one of the streets on impor-
TINT business, when pistol shots
were heard in nearby saloon.
The mass of human beings was
put in motion, and SO irresistible
was the force that lie had TO
cling to a tree to avoid being
borne on; and the frienl was car
ried away so far that the two did
not meet again for week.
The threatened riot was avert
ed in an ulexpectel manner.
Tom Wade, one OF the Leading
miners, came fol ward with
twenty-five sacks of flour and
offered to lend the staff of life tC
the miners till another source Of
supply could be devised. Many
others followed this lead anC
soon almost all the flour in the
camp, outsi lie of the Eol ling Of
the trust, was in common store
for the free use of the needy anc
worthy miners an | prospectors.
From that date the old mt rchants
were boycotted, and most of then
broken up, and they all CLOSED
out and left the camp.-Lewistor

1t Is very noticeable hoy tie
Idaho Register is displeased with
the vote of the women at Idaho
Falls. 1t says for political
shrewdness and unblushing false
hood" the ''me1 are co lted out"
That is to say the women of
Idaho Falls are unblushingly
political liars. We can not credit
the statement. We believe they
are high-minded, noble women,
and we know they are good look
ing. But granting they are as
base as their own paper would
represent them to be, we would
ask that paper if it is not the
theory of its editor and of the
Anti Suffragists, tlat women is
inferior to man, and, when re-
duced to its ultimate, that she is
what man makes her ? Oh, what
a set of lying, political scouno-
rels, we fear, from this aper's
statement, must live in Idaho
Falls. Sodom and Gomorrah, if
this is true, should have been
saved and Idaho Falls should be
damned. We would advise q
removal to some other point of
the paper-for more than one
reason. But it will not go. Take
the whole matter into account,
then, and let an unprecedented
world Judge who is the base liar.
Sister Merritt, of the Recorder,
gives very pleasant account of
the vote cast at Salmon. You
will remember that she did not
favor equal suffrage. This is the
history: Sixty women registered;
two were absent, as we under
stand it, 81 voted. This is some
thing over SO per cent of those
who registered and who were at
home voted. Now we will ven
ture that you can not find an
equal per cent of men voters in
the State of Idaho with equal or
greater numbers on the registry.
The pretense that she won't vote
is cowardly cover to hide the
determination of the heart that
she shall not be given that de-
sirable privilege. She will vote
and. inside of very short era of
time. these very antagonists will
be ready to swear that they al
ways were in favor of equal suf-
