WANTED TO TRADE BACK.
A Rural Youth Who Snapped a Cow
for a Wheel.

1t appears that Mr.. Bassett is quite
a bicycle rider and spends considerable
time on his wheel. AS he whirled
along the country roads near his farm
his riding was greatly admired by a
supplemented youth, who frequently
laid aside his hoe and gazed at the
flying wheelman in open-mouthed 0
der. The boy finally got the bicycle
by Offering to trade a COW for his
wheel The offer vas accepted, and
the exchange was made.
The next day the verdant youth mi
tiated himself into the mysteries Of
learning to ride the bike. Temporary
success emboldened the youny man.
causing him to grow reckless while
showing off before the ueishbors. He
finally lost control Of the bike, and
with a blood-curdling yell. went over
a 20-foot embaukment. The bike was
completely demolished, and the boy
went home in a dilapidated condition.
The next day he appeared at Mr.. Bias

wheel carefully nailed up in a box.

An Old Proof Reader Tells How the
Word Originated.

The old proof reader was holding
forth upon the question OF typographi-
cal error and their occasional inhu-
ence on posterity. The word hood
lum' is IN instance of this. he said,
as he knocked the ashes out Of his
pipe. out in San Francisco twenty
five years ago there was a notorious
character named Muldoon. who was
the leader of a gang Of young rufians.
They were a terror to the community,
and about as tough a lot of citizens as
you could find on the coast. A reporter
who had been assigned to a story in
which they had figured undertook to
gain a word designating the gang. He
reversed the name Of the leader and
referred to him as 'Noodlums.' The
~compositor mistook the n for an h, and
as hoodlums the word passed the
proof reader. And now 'hoodlum' is
a recognized word, and will probably
survive, Another instance which |
recall shows how even an actress may
accept as inevitable the error of the
compositor. You may not know that
Ada Rehan's real name is Ada Crehan,
but such is the case. On occasion
of her first appearance in a speaking
part, when she was accorded the dig
nifty of having her name on the play
bin, the printer divided it up as Ada
c. Rehan, and as Ada Rehan she has
ever since been known louisville

The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1897-05-21

The debate in the house has shown
that Mr.. Clevcland's forest reservation
order was promulgated with slight
knowledge of the vast territory affected
thereby. Not only were valuable min
eral and agricultural land included bod
ily,but it has been shown that in one in
stance, in South Dakota, a considerable
town, which has been in existence for
more than fifteen years, was placed in
the center Of forest reservation.
While the house has not adopted the
measure which proposed TO rescind the
order outright, there is no doubt that
in the conference committee between
the two branches of congress. some
steps will be taken to right the griev-
ious blunder committed by the last adj
ministration. 1t was scarcely to be ex-
pected that Mr. Cleveland himself
would show acquaintance with the
West, but it is "A matter Of surprise that
his advisers were not better Informed
concerning the region upon which they
were using carving knife. 1t has been
asserted that the reservation order is
largely in the interest of the Northern
Pacific railroad, with which Mr.. Lamont
has developed "a close connection since
his retirement from the cabinet. and
that fact has been accepted in some
quarters as sufficient explanation Of
one of the most extraordinary orders
that ever proceeded from the executive
mansion.

dustry. The assertion need hardly be
made that it should be aided and en-
couraged. To render it permanent and
successful, however, plants are needed
for the manufacture of sugar. This is
especially true of Idaho. There is a
factory in Utah, another in Nebraska
and still another in New Mexico.
That Idaho will produce the best
sugar beets in the world is a demon
strated fact. The yield is also prolific.
What is needed is factory to turn the
beets into sugar. 1t makes little or no
difference where such plant is located.
Its operations would so speedily demon
strate the profit in the business that
others would soon follow, and within a
short time there would be factories con-
venient to all the beet growing valleys
of the state.
In the hope of securing such a fac
tory at some point in Idaho, our farm
ers can well afford to make the expert
mental crop desired by those who are
interested in the establishment of this
industry. Some one locality may de-
velop such superior excellence in the
growth OF beets as to assure an imme-
diate favor with capitalists and secure
the desired plant. This would be
substantial benefit to the locality, as
well as to the entire state, for if we can
secure one plant, many more are GER
tain to follow.

Pover.y-But Gold.

The travelling correspondent of the
London (England) Daily Mail writes to
! that journal as follows
There may be poverty in Rossland,
and that, too, of the grim, ugly, mining
camp sort; there may be more empty
stomachs than coined dollars and quar-
ters; there may be shivering forms and
much human misery; but there is-gold.
The seedy-looling man who comes in
with dozen ounces of ore from his
new claim on Trail Greek, may not have
had any breakfast; but it is not i'm
probable that he will have a dinner
that would make a Roman glutton
ashamed of his slim and slender orgies.
Tomorrow that man will have sold his
mine for 5000 to a speculator, and the
next day the speculator will be floating
a company with Sl,000,000 capital. 1t is
stupenduous, this recklessness with
which big figures are handled. Mil
lions pass as easily through the lips of
these seedy looking men in Rossland as
units. The town is full of sharks and
spectators; there is much lying and
cozening and hundreds of thousands
of pounds are invested, which may
prove to be as good as thrown into the
sea. But after all this fact remains
Rossland is the metropolis of nearly
inexhaustible collaborating country,
and Rossland to-day is the greatest
gold-copper camp on the face of the
earth"

The Real southern Woman.


Southern women at least can never
be accused of being afraid of fresh air,
and in the South one sees fewer cases
of nervous prostration than anywhere
else in the United States. The real
Southern woman takes things easy and
rarely ever lives in badly ventilated
house.
From Tennessee to the jump-oH
place in Florida believe more bedding
is put in the air in the morning sun
each day than in all the Middle and
New England States put together. The
mattresses, pillows and bedclothes are
hung over the piazza railing, till, look

The kitchens are often separated
from the house by Il latticed porch; or
if the house is built in more modern
way, there is usually big back porch.
well covered, at the back of the house,
and on this back porch the mistress of
the mansion makes the salads, prepares
dainty deserts, and if there is but one
servant and a large family, she sits
there in the cool of the morning and
shells the peas and prepares the other
vegetables for dinner, and does much
of the work which a Northern house
keeper does in hot kitchen.
Aud then there's the afternoon nap.

house, three had troublesome nerves

There was one ambitious little North

little music to nap after her midday |

side the piano that the guests in the
house requested that the piano should
