couple in a Lancashire village had
been counting for several years. The
Young man one day said to the young
woman:
"sall, Gamma marry thee"

ously, "you said you would say, l

."I know that" said the young wo-
man; "but I've changed my mind

B@- A little boy was taken suddenly
ill, and a celebrated doctor was calleo
to attend the little patient. This not.
ed physician is short in stature, and
is possessed of pair of bow legs. As
is customary with old country people
he stepped before the blazing CRATE
fire, and, facing the inmates of the
room, lifted coat-tails, and proceeded
to warm his lower extremities. Before
many minutes had elapsed the sick
boy raised himself upon his elbow
and, eyeing the physician, exclaimed
doctor, please don't stand there any
longer; your legs are warping."

p6r Here is good story of a donkey
that could aim we'll, to say the least
"a Scotchman who was mounted on a
donkey had to travel over rather
rough piece of country in Australia.
After a while be came to wide ditch
which the donkey refused to cross;
Turning back few yards, he urged
the donkey into gallop, thinking the
donkey would jump across. Instead
of jumping across, the animal stopped
suddenly, throwing Sandy over his
head with such force that he landed
on the other side of the ditch: Gath
ering himself up, he looked at the
donkey a moment or two, and then
said, "Weel, weel, that's very well
pitched; but are you going to get over
yourself ?"

DG A little girl who had been for q
piano lesson told her mother on her
return that her teacher was not at all
nice to her. "Why, what did he do p
said the mother. "He asked me right
in the middle of my lesson how many
turnips there were in a bushel y
When the child went for her next les
son she was accompanied by her moth:
er, who said to the teacher, "Why did
YOU ask Nellie how many turnips there
were in a bushel ?" ~ never asked
her such question:" replied the sur
prised teacher. But he added, after a
moments reflection, III did ask her
how many beats there were in a meas
ure."

On HIS BRIDAL ToUR.-That is
droll story about fellow on board an
ocean steamer who sat off to himself
and seemed to be generally sore in his
mind about something. He presented
such very forlorn appearance that
some ladies on deck thought they
ought to inquire what was the matter
So one old lady approached and asked
the lonely one why he was so discon'
solate "The fact is" said he, "1'm on
my bridal tour, but I didn't have
enough money to bring my wife with
me-"

p4- A rural bridal couple boarded a
train out west the other day. Their
"spooning" attracted the attention OF
the passengers and caused some audi
BILE criticism, whereupon the burly
groom arose and said:
ave are married. 1t was case OF
luv. We spanked fur seven years.
She's my vilet, and I'm her towerin'
oak. We've got $50 miles to 60, and
we are goin' to spoon every burned

who thinks he can't stand it, he can

give them away and two fellows pres

for money. Houston gave bond; the
other two fellows were sent to jail

for the legislature. Judge Keat, of
Occur d'Alene, will no doubt be
returned tc the legislature, and
should Hon. S. P. Donnelly decline
a denomination, Mr., Keat will no
doubt be the next senator. In the
matter of county commissioner, the
most important Office of all to the
people, the situation does not seem
to be much canvased as yet, and it
would be well to take the matter
out of the hands of the politician s
and let the people talk up good
strong, capable men. Of course,
we have not assumed to name all
the aspirants for nominations,
There are the populists yet and the
balance of the republicans. II
will be time enough yet for them
when we see whether these two
opposites fuse.

Some Candidates.

The political campaign has
advanced far enough to bring out
quite crop of candidates already,
especially for county and district
officers. For district judge the
name of the present incumbent,
Hon. A. e. Mayhem, has been
prominently mentioned. Attorney
Goode, of Occur d'Alene. has also
been spoken of as candidate. Mr..
Goode is a democrat, as also is Judge
Mayhem The greatest interest
centers in the Office of county
auditor. 1t is a four-year job and
pays $4,000 per year, besides being
a position that is supposed to carry
great political prestige. The pres
ent incumbent, Hon. Robt. S.
Bragaw, has held the office since the
organization of the county almost
and is a candidate for re election.
Mr.. Bragaw's party is weak in the
county, but as the Mckinley re-
publicans would be content with
the auditor and two commissioners
they will make a desperate fight
for Mr., Bragaw's reelection. On
the democratic side Hon. w. J,
Mcclure, the collector of customs
at Bonner's Ferry, is an aspirant
for the position, should it fall to
the democrats in the fusion ar
rangement. Prof. J. G. Brady, Of
Rathdrum, has also announced his
candidacy. Two or three names
have been mentioned on the silver
republican side. Assessor J. G
Callahan has announced his candi
dacy, as has Mr.. J. H. Hart, O
Occur d'Alene, while Treasurer
Frank O. Hill has also been talked
of. For sheriff, the democrats
seem to have no lack of timber
Mr.. Bradbury, the present chic
deputy, is an outspoken candidate
as is also Commissioner w. B
Dishman, while we have heart
mentioned the names Mr.. jane
Judge, Mr.. John J. Costello anC
one or two others. The silver re
publicans seem to concede this OF
fee to the democrats, as they be
lieve a tair and honorable fusiol
will allot them the auditors Office
For assessor, Mr.. A. L. Jameson, c
Bonner's Ferry, is figuring on
nomination if the democratic part
has the naming of that candidate
and number of others are pre-
sumed to have their eyes on thi
office, really one of the best in tn
county. Mr.. Frank o. Hill, silve
republican, is the only candidat
talked of on any ticket for treas
urer. Mr.. J. Monroe Heaton, {
Harrison, is spoken of as the silvt
republican candidate for proba
Judge. For county attorney, Pr
bate Judge McBee and Attorne
Goode, both democrats, are spoke
Of. Then there are four candidate
for the Legislature and three con
missioners to be named. Cand
dates for legislative honors do NJ
seem to be SO prolific this year
