"A rather amusing incident
at the Salvation Army hall in
Boise, says the Democrat, was
when one of the Salvation lassies
asked a sheepherder about his
soul. It was like this
Brother, don't you want to be
saved ?"
"Oh, don't know"
Brother, don't you know Jes-
us Christ died for you ?"
mo Did He ?''
Yes, He died for you. Come
to Him."
We'll, have been herding
sheep way up in the hills for two
years and I have not seen any
papers. When did He die ?'
The Carson, Nevada, Ap-
peal thus mentions the arrival
of DIR. j. G. Leonard in that city:
Yesterday man drove into
Carson with dilapidated wagon
and a pair of ancient mules,
seemingly designed for army
use. There were three dogs
under the wagon and the man
inside had about four guns and
some six shooters. The outfit
came at halt at the corner of
the Capitol square and the first
thing the owner did was to go to
Capitol square and turn loose a
large turtle, about the size of
hotel dinner plate. 1t was alive
and weighed about ten pounds. |
In few moments curious |
crowd gathered about the turtle. |

The following is attributed |
to ex-senator Dubois, chairman
of the executive committee of
the National Silver Republican
party
THE statement that some of
the gold Republicans and some
Silver Republicans in Oneida
county, have agreed to unite
their political fortunes, seems to
be made much of by the gold
press of the state. 1t has been
5elegraphed to the country at
arge as something every one
should know. 1t is not stated
what terms each side made or
'eserved for themselves. The
Silver Republicans who have i
gone into it surely could not have
been very sincere in their advo-
,acy of bimetallism in the past.
So long as the Republican party
oarty held out the promise of
my kind of bimetallism, inter
rational or national, there was
oretext at least for earnest bim-
,tallists to support that party.
Now that it squarely and with
'ut apology stands for gold
nonometalism, there is no pos
lble place for a believer in the
of bimetalism within
is ranks. There will be plenty
