Little Men
and Women

We calf them little men and
little women, but they are
neither. They have ideas and
ways all their own. Forte
nately they soon become fond
of cod-liver oil, when it is
given to them in the form of
SCOTS EMULSION. This 7
is the most valuable remedy in
existence for all the wasting
diseases Of early life. The
poorly nourished, serofulous
child; the thin, weak, fretting
child; the young child who
does not grow; all take SCOTS
Emulsion without force or
bride. It seems as If they knew
that this meant nourishment
and growth for bones, muscles
and nerves.

1t won't pay to try a substitute for
SCOTS Emulsion with the children.
They will relish the real thing.

That $4,000 Discrepancy.

We notice by the Boise States
man, Salt Lake Tribune and 9TH
er exchanges, articles purport-
ing to be reliable, but which are
not, that Custer county is indebt-
ed to the State nearly $4,000.
The State or county books do
not show this, and the only diff
ference between Custer county
and the State was a discrepancy
of 1888 and that amount was
sent.
In regard to the taxes of 1896,
which amounts to a little over
81, 900, and for which the State
is commencing action to collect
from Custer county, is matter
of difference of opinion. Oul
Treasurer sent a check on the
Bunting bank, and the State ac
cepted the check for payment
and gave us credit for the same
and had the check sufficient time
before the bank failure, and i
they neglected to get it cashed i
was not the fault of Custer
county.
The $4,000 discrepancies tina
our exchanges are proclaimins
so loudly, is false, and the Stat'
does not claim any, only the 1885,
taxes. Custer county has Away
been as prompt as any othe
county in Idaho in paying it
honest debts, and such article
as these are unjust and malicious

Since you have said that 1t was best 10 part
Why, will let the bitter parting be-
For well know It cannot pain your heart,
And II 1t would,-I should not so decree,-
But IT will not,-a tear, perhaps, smart.
And you will smile, and bid your grief depart,
And then forget-the pain will be for me
Since you have said 'twere best had we not met.
Why, let us part and never meet again;
Though remember, you can soon forget
With you the past will leave no clinging stain
Though I may grieve, you will not feel regret
But live to greet the joys awaiting yet,-
Yours be the pleasure, mine the cruel pain
Though you have said my heart was false alone
/ still am glad it was not false to you,-
love to feel, though It's TO you unknown,
That this sad heart through all the past was
true
That, though this misery turns 1t into stone,
In that dark syk, until you left, it shone
The star of Truth-the truest of the two

caldwell Record.)

Teachers examination was in
progress here last week, and
from information that can be
cleaned, it was a hard, heavy
task from first to last. 1t is al
legged that some of the questions
border close on the speculative,
and that answers at the best are
considered fairly debatable. AS
the result of the new order of
things promulgated by our State
Superintendent, only 8 out of the
81 applicants passed the examin-
alton, and some of the success
full ones got through by the mar
rowest margin. First grade GER
tificateS from other states and in
some instances holders of state
certificates went down before the
ordeal prescribed by Idaho's Sup
erintendent of Public Instruc
tion.
The complaint is general thai
the questions were not only diff
ficult. but many of them so un
usual that the average teacher
could hardly be expected to ans
wer them within the limited
time allowed to examinations.

fThe following by Robert Burns is probah
one OF the best poems ever written. How tr
1t is in the great struggle OF life.]
When chill November's surly blast
Made fields and forests bare,
One evening as wander'd forth
Along the banks OF Ayr,
/ spy'd man, whose aged step
Seem'd weary, worn with care;
His face was furrow'd DER with years,
And hoary was his hair.
Young stranger whittier wand'rest thou?
Began the rev'rend Sage;
Does thirst of wealth thy steps constrain,
Or youthful pleasures rage?
Or, haply prest with cares and woes,
Too soon thou hast began
To wander forth, with me TO mourn
The miseries OF Man.
The sun that overhangs yon moors,
Out-spreading far and wide
Where hundreds labour to support
A naughty lordlings pride;
I've seen yon weary winter sun
Twice forty times return;
And ev'ry time had added proofs,
That Man was made to mourn.
man while in thy early years,
How prodigal of time
Mis- spending all thy precious hours
Thy glorious youthful prime
Alternate follics take the sway;
Licentious passions burn;
Which ten.old force gave natures Law,
Thrt Man was made to mourn.
Look not alone on youthful prime,
Or manhood's active might;
Man thea is useful TO his kind,
Supported in his right,
But see him on the edge of life.
With cares and sorrows worn,
Then ag and want, oh ! i'll match'd pair
Show Man was made TO mourn.
A few seem favourites OF fate,
In pleasure lap carest;
Yet, think not all the rich and great
Are likewise truly blessed.
But oh what crowds in ev'ry land
| Are wretched and forlorn;
Thro' weary life this lesson learn,
That Man was made TO mourn.
Many and sharp the num'rous ills
! Inwoven with our frame
More pointed still we make ourselves,
Regret, remorse, and shame
| And maa, whose heaven-erected face
The smiles of love adorn,
Mans inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn
See yonder poor, o'erlabor'd wight,
So abject, mean. and vile,
Who begs brother OF the earth
To give him leave to toil;.
And see his lorily feliow-worm
The poor petition spurn,
Unmindful. tho q Weeping wife
And helpless offspring mourn.
If I'm design'd yon lordling's slave,
BY natures law deSign'd,
Why was an independent wish
Fer planted in my mind
If not, why am subject to
His cruelty, or scorn 7
Or why has man the will and pow'r
To make his fellow mourn ?
Yet. let not this too much, my son,
Disturb thy youthful breast;
This partial view of humankind
Is surely not the last
The poor, oppressed, honest man,
Had never, sure, been born,
Had there not been some recompense
To comfort those that mourn
o Death the poor mans dearest friend
The kindest and the best =!
Welcome the hour my aged limbs
Are laid with thee ut rest
The great the wealthy fear thy blow,
From pomp and pleasures torn;
But, Oh blest relief to those
That weary-laden mourn

duty to assure the ladies of Ida
no that they are not yet citizens

would seem to an ordinary mind,
from the reading of Section IL of
Article III of our constitution
that the same rules govern the
passage of both bills and joint
resolutions. If so Senate Joint
Resolution No. 2 introduced at
the third session of the legisla-
