The illustrated edition of the
Boise Sentinel last week was a
beauty, and contained AZ pages
printed on an extra quality of
paper. The illustrations of the
prominent men of Idaho and
buildings, and the valuable read
ing matter contained therein, and
the neat makeup of this edition
reflects much credit to it manag-
ers and the enterprise of the
Capitol city. But among its
illustrations of prominent Idaho
men we do not find Governor
Steunenberg's nor q. S. Senator
Shoup's pictures.

over, far easier to keep ones
reputation above reproach than
to purify it after it has once been
defiled and far easier to follow
the pathway of life when boy
that will lead to high and re
spected manhood than to tax {
the road that leads to blasted
hopes and an unsatisfied future
