That's good enough fer me.

I'd hate ter leave the kids behind;

But I'D hike ter make pure Spanish
The language down in hell.
I'm just n slouch COW puncher

Last Sunday was Easter.

The Boise Statesman of April
5th, says Sensational develop
ments are looked for tomorrow
in the case of w. A. Woodin.
treasurer of Bingham county.
Since the court rendered judg-
ment against Woodin and his
bondsmen for $34, 900 last week
the bondsmen have been endeav-
oring to effect a settlement with
the county by paying about one
fifth of their liabilities.
d. Ii. Biethan, merchant of
Blackfoot, one of the bondsmen
for the sum of $4,000, has been an
active party in trying to effect a
compromise. This afternoon he
approached Woodin and asked
him to assist in the endeavor to
to make a settlement and also
contribute his two years salary
as treasurer. This Woodin de
clined to do as he is desirous of
having the supreme court pass
on the matter.
Now Biethan threatens to have
Woodin arrested for violating an
old statute that makes it a felony
for any officer entrusted with
public moneys to make any other
than a special deposit of the
same.
The county funds were on gen.
eral deposit in the bank of Bun
ting & Co. when it failed last
year, as has been the custom
since the creation of the county.
The statute has always been dis
regarded. If the bondsmen are
called on to pay it will no doubt
cripple them badly, hence the
anxiety for settlement. 1t is
likely this move against Woodin
is for the purpose of intimldat-
ing him.
1t has often been asked why
Custer county does not have a
daily mail from Blackfoot, in
stead of six times week, as it
is at present. We believe daily
service would be granted if our
citizens would ask for it. In an
isolated county like this, with nc
telegraphic or telephone con
nection, a daily mail service
would be of a great benefit. Let
some one get up a petition and
see if this 7-day service cannot
be established.
The newspaper field is wide
and full of thorns and roses. II
you roast the ungodly the preach
or smiles;if you roast the preach
er the ungodly smiles. If you
roast the saloon man, the teetot-
aler smiles and sets 'em up. II
you swear you are a very wicked
man, and if you pray you are q
hypocrite. If you have an opin-
ion, you get cussed; if you don't
you are nonenity. The preach
er knows one thing, the sinner
another; but the journalist is
supposed to know everything.
He is the best man and the worst
in the community. .-Ex.

EIs NORTHERN BROTHER.

Just make il two. old fellow,
L want TO stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you
as in the days of yore
Our forefatherS stood together
And fought oil land and sea
The battles fierce that made US
a nation Of the free.
I whipped ycu down al VickSburg,
You licked me at Sun Ru1
On many Il field we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray OF southland,
wore the Northern blae;
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets few.
Four years we fought like devils,
But V hen the war was done
Your hand met mine IN friendly clasp,
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now, when danger threatens,
No Moth, no South, we know,
Once more we stand tooether
To fight the common foe.
Ny head. like yours, is frosty
Old age Is creeping on:
Lies sun is lower sinking,
My DAY will soon be gone,
But il our cOuntry's honor
Needs once again her son,
I'm ready, too old follow
So get another gun.

way. Yet he is doing more. vastly
more, than could be done by the role
OF revolution to bring Russia to free
dom of thought and speech. The
Russian government trusts TOlstOy
and believes he will lift no hand Of
violence, and let no hand Of violence
be lifted. against the powers. That is
a tremendous fact. There is no other
subject Of the Car that is not watched
and distruSted, there is no other man
alive that the government so believes
and trusts. There is. no other man
alive that Russia so admires and hon
Ors. There is no influence that is so
moulding the vast Panslavic empire
Of the future. Very evidently here is
a man standing for principles larger
than seltism. He is simple minded,
unaware of his greatness, and takes
no thought.
One thing is certain: TOlstOy does
not plead his example or preach as the
world knows preaching. He explains
his conduct, but does not insist that
We be his disciples. He has sought
the truth and, as he thinks, found it.
He does not say that his truth must
be our truth. He challenges us sim
ply to seek heartily and honestly, and
cleave unto what we find. He has
made mistakes. He is doubtless too
precipitOus, but he is wholly i'm earn
est. He believes that the Kingdom of
God shall come, and that it shall be a
gOOdly kingdom with infinite truth
for its security, and divine love as its
law. His doctrines are i'm some re-
spects shOckingly unOrthodOx, but
men who profess the wish to follow
Christ like him are accepted in most
churches today. He is socialist,
unquestiOnably, but of the sort that
goes from the top downward, not from ;
the bottom upward. Tolstoy would I
be the last man i'm the world to say
that brains and worth, that honesty
and industry are not paramount. and l
Indispensable, factors and forces in g
he coming society, and that intellec- g
,ual insufficiency, and characterleSs- g
ness, and sin are mortal evils. But b
,reat weakness with kindness. and sin d
With charity and meekhess, and their v
,ruculency departs. Ever since the Il
and the Reformation we b
lave been making a new aristOcracy e
Il brains and sectarian thoroughbred n
SIN. TOlstOy would have this straight q
way merge into a true spiritual de- o
aocracy of forbearance and good will. p

Diplomatic View OF the breaking on Of

Diplomatic View OF the breaking on Of
Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-At the Brit
ish, French, German and other foreign
establishments the report from Paris
that Senior Montero Rios, president Of
the Spanish commissioners, had refused
to continue the negotiations was looked
upon as presenting a serious crisis, al
though the effect Of this move was
viewed from different standpoints.
Throughout diplomatic quarters the
view prevailed that Montero Rios spoke
for the commission and for Spain and
that the only Interpretation to he put on
his course was that Spain had deter
mined to break cf the negotiations, TAX
ing chances of a renewal of war. BY
such course Spain could lose little
more than she was losing by the course
of the peace negotiations, as Cuba and
Porto Rico had already leen lost. the
Philippines were demanded and the
bulk of the colonial debts was left for
Spain to liquidate, while she doubtless
continued in the hope that some Of the
foreign powers would come to her re-

How to Clean Block Silk.

When thrifty Frenchwoman wishes
to clean black silk, she brushes it thor
oughly and wipes it with cloth. Then
after it is free from dust she lays it fiat
ON a board and sponges it with hot COT
fee which has been strained through
muslin and freed from sediment. The
silk is sponged on the right side, nl-
lowed to become half dry aud then
ironed on the wrong side.
The coffee removes every particle Of
grease and restores the brilliancy Of the
silk without giving it the shiny ap-
pearance or the crackly and papery
stiffness which results from beer or in
deed any other liquid except ammonia
and water, which last does not freshen
the color and gloss of the silk as coffee
does. The silk is much improved by the
process, and the good effect is perma.
