Another Bright Woman.

The Boise Democrat pays the
following tribute to the wife OF Jud
Boyakin, publisher of the paper:
THE previous issue of the Dem
ocrat was gotten out by Mrs. Vada
Boyakin. She not only edited but
had general supervision of the paper
read proof, &C., &C., and even
took her turn at the press wheel
and made up mail. Considering
that her opportunities for school
education have been limited, and
that what she has learned has been
obtained ut the case in a printing
Office and only a short time at that,
her work was remarkably we'll done.
Unusually bright of intellect, quick
to learn and strong taste for liter
ature and general composition, she
would soon develop into q hne

Silver City, Idaho, bears the
honor of having a mine which has
produced the richest cafload of ore
ever sold in Denver, which is prob
ably the richest carload ever pro-
duced. 1t brought over $4,000:
Another from the same mine SOLD
for over $4,000. When it is re.
membered that 10 ton carload OF
solid and pure silver would only
sell for about twice what this car
load brought, its richness can be
realized.-Denver Mining Reporter

It having been reported that

way responsible for the theft OF our
cattle. we, the Undersigned, owners
of said cattle. have no hesitation
in saying that all such reports are
absolutely false and malicious.
On the contrary, we are pleased
to say that the prompt recovery OF

the thieves is largely due to the
prompt and energetic action OF

Birds and Bonnets.

You would look with anger upon a cal
which watches a canary and seeks to seize
and devour it, but what shall you say Of
the sportsman who would shoot bird
simply to show the steadiness with which
he can hold a gun, tho accuracy of his
sight along the gun barrel and the pre-
cision with which he can pull triggerf
The cat, acting by an instinct, seeks to
satisfy hunger, but the sportsman seeks
to destroy life simply for the pleasure of
killing.
Outside Of my study window as write,
among the snowy apple blossoms, little
brown sparrow rests for moment upon a
twig, cooking his dainty head to one side,
looking sharply about him with his bright
eyes, displaying his rounded, downy
breast, noat brown wings, compact, mus
cular body and complete and pretty form.
In moment more he hops from twig to
twig, from blossom to blossom, picking q
morsel llere and there, chirping with
great content and apparently enjoying life
to the full. He Is Joined in moment by
an oriole, whose wings are black, with
stripes of white feathers, and whose orange
colored breast seems to have caught tho
rich color of the clouds of sunrise as no
scared and sang his morning song, so rich
and brilliant is his raiment. To these a
third bird, with golden breast and brown
wings, joins himself, and the trio feed on
the tree with great delight. If 1 had any
one of these birds in my hand, mere
pressure Of my thumb and finger would
silence the song and still the life of the
bird forever. But what right would l
have thus to take the little creatures life?
If any creature may claim exemption from
cruelty and from untimely death, surely
bird may claim it.-Homiletic Review.

Congressman James Hamilton Lewis
arrived at Spokane during the boom. He
had Just graduated from the University
of Virginia and had been recently admit
ted to the bar Like many another, he
reached Spokane almost pennilessL He
put up at one of the cheapest boarding
houses and began to look over the field
On the second evening after his arrival in
the city mass meeting Of the citizens was
announced to discuss some Of the innu-
merable schemes that booming cities have
for alluring capital and raising the price
of corner lots. Lewis had fallen in with
another young lawyer whose condition
was similar TO his own. He proposed to
his fellow barrister, as they had nothing
else to do, that they go around to the
meeting. The meeting was in progress
when they arrived, and "leading citizens"
Of the town were being called upon to
speak.
Lewis was not long in grasping tho stu
alton, and he whispered to his friend.
The latter shook his head, but Lewis
whispered some more and finally carried
his point His friend arose and announced
that "he felt sure If the chairman would
call upon our gifted fellow townsman,
James Hamilton Lewis, he would be glad
to speak" The people began calling
"Lewisl Lewisl" and at length he went
upon the platform and gave one Of his
characteristic speeches. Language flows
readily with him, and he carried the audi
ence by storm. He then recipr ,cated by
calling upon his friend for speech.
From that day on Lewis was popular
man. Times wero often hard with him
and his clothing was sometimes thread
bare, but somehow he always managed to
have fresh buttonhole bouquet, for which
the people nicknamed him dude Lewis.
Soon after his speech he formed a partner
ship with his friend, and the firm is now
one Of the leading law partnerships Oh the
Pacific coast.

The Swamp Cabbage as q Cut Flower.

The swamp cabbage (Symplocarpus
frtidus) has generally been regarded as a
sort Of joke among spring flowers, al
though there are those who hail with
pleasure the appearance Of its purple
streaked hoods in the boys Of late winter.
The general public has been rather inclin-
cd to turn up its nose at the humble plant
and its flowera That 1t Is by no means
undeserving Of a place, however, In the
spring bouquet was made manifest this
season to the writer, who saw cut speci-
mems Of it set in vessels Of water in at
least two windows fronting on business
thoroughfarcs in Philadelphia.
The cuttings had been made at point
six or eight inches below the base Of the
spathe and SO as to include both flower
ing and leaf stalks. The effect was really
striking and picturesque, the rich colors
Of the hood standing out boldly against
the green background Of the great OPEN
ing leaves in way that must have ar
rested the attention Of all that looked in
the windows-Meehan' Monthly. 4,.ss, =.

Germany's debt in 1877 was 16, 900, 900
marks In 1897 it had increased to nearly
10000, 900 marks. 1t is now 2, l41 900,
900 marks, and Is still going up with a
steadincss which bears strong testimony
to the financial resources Of the frugal ia
thcrland. 1t will soon be able to point
with pride to a national debt Of the high
est class, scientifically adjusted to the ca
pacity Of the people to bear it, like pack
saddle to the back Of an Andorra mule
just shade easier to stand up under than
to lie down under.

Romanium is metal much discussed
at present among bicycle makers. This
new metal is q bronze composition, the in
vontion of foreigner, DR.. Roman, from
whom it has its name. 1t is gold colored,
about as heavy as steel and is twice as
strong as ordinary bronze. In toughness
and strength it is equal to cast steel and is
noncorrosive. DIR. Romans ambition was
to perfect metal for bicycle manufacture
which would stand salt water, DO imper-
vious to rust, BIO capable Of jointing with
out brazing, which would require neither
enamel nor polish, and at the same time be
the strongest metal for the purpose. This
is what romanium is said to be.-Phila.
