The old style Is still retained in the
accounts of her Majesty's treasury, con-
tinues the Times. This is why the
Christmas dividends In England arc not
considered due till Twelfth Day, nor
the midsummer dividends till the eth
of July. and in the same way 1t Is not
until the 9Th of ApriI that Lady Dav
is supposed to arrive. There Is onothor
piece of antiquity visible in the public
uritish) accounts. In old times the
year was hald 10 begin on the a5th Of
March. and this usage Is also still OH
served in the computations over which
the chancellor of the excheuuer pre
sides. The consequence is that tho first
day OF the financial year is the 5th Of
April, being old Lady Day, ana with
that day the reckoning OF our (BritishI
annual budgets begin and end.

Eagle Kills q Deer.

Lewis Breyer. employed in lum-
ber camp north of Arbor Vitae, Wis.
witnessed the strange spectacle Of an
eagle killing ardeer recently. The great
bird swooped down on the gentle deni-
zen of the forest and with one stroke
Of its talons cut the deer's jugular
vein, and the deer soon bled to death.
The eagle endeavored to carry oil Its
victim. but the carcass was too heavy.
and after dragging it about rod left
and soon returned with two more. and
the three devoured about half OF the
deer.

minds without impression. thousand
favors unrepaid, thousand duties un-
performed; and wish. vainly wish, for
his return, not SO much that we may
receive as that We may bestow happi-
ness and recompense that kindness
which before we never understood. Let
us therefore make haste to do what
We shall certainly at last wish to have
done: let us return the affection Of our
friends, and endeavor by mutual en-
dearments to heighten that tenderness
which is the balm Of life. Let us be
quick to repent Of injuries which re-
pentance may not be barren anguish
and let us open our eyes to every rival

new rebellion has broken out in the
districts around Kiao-Chou. In the
district Of Tan-Chen Chen twenty
Christian settlements have been de-

Courteous but unhygienic was the
act of President Mckinley, when he
recently rode bareheaded through the
streets of Boston on bitter winters
day. He is not by any means the only
president who has risked health and
life by the same needless exposure. II
etiquette upholds or condones the
courteous act then etiquette should
be condemned. For some reason our
people seem to think that presidents
have no more right to cover their
heads before a crowd Of staring spec
tators than they have to wear a
crown. The wonder is that many Of
the chief magistrates of this country
have not died of pneumonia long be
tore their four years term of office
expired.

When Caldwell sets out to have
a glorious good time things have
got to meve, and they did move when
last Monday night reception was ten
dered the Caldwell contingent of the
Idaho volunteers. We didn't have SO
much Feathers and fuss" as was adj
Vertised, but we had real nice social
time, and better time by far than we
would have had, had We dozen brass
bands, steam calliope. a midway
plaisance, and circus annex. But we
mad a good eat, and we had a dance,
and burstcd an anvil or two. Every
body got together and had a real nice
time-a much better time than We
would have had, had we spent twice as
much money.
ArmOry hall was the scene of the
festivities, and the youth and beauty,
the pride and chivalry OF Caldwell and
vicinity met together. Tables, taste
fully decorated, groaned beneath the
wealth of good things, prepared by the
skillful hands of the Caldwell ladies,
and had the gods been present, they
must have groaned in enyious chorus
because they could not participate.
And all this for the guests of honor
who had the year before marched
away to do battle for country, liberty,
aud won glory for our nation. They
were, Capt. Geo. Steunenberg, Lieuteu-

AT the reception Mayor Little of the

Morrison, in his usual happy manner,
delivered sort address of welcome,
which was responded to by Lieutenant
Sims on behalf of the soldier boys.
Then the supper was discussed, and all
fell to with hearty good will. After
the inner man was fully gratifed,
Lieut.. Bailey Of the new band of flag
defenders, and Capt. Wells of the old
guard entertained the company with
many war "reminiscences. Then fol
lowed the dance. And everybody
danced.

and for the dance.

this valley to the other shore, He was
born in Sessex county, Delaware, in
1895, where he lived until the year 1852,
when he came west, landing in Port
land, Oregon, He was attracted to
California in 1857, and when the gold
excitement broke out in Idaho in 1868,
he was among the first at the diggtngs.
Like all The OLD gold-seekers, he had in
his time turned his hand to nearly ev-
erythinE to raise grub-3takes 10 enable
him to seek the precious metal. Tired
at last with his vain search for hidden
wealth, he at last settled on farm in

Mrs. Horn was one of the first set
tier of this valley, coming here in the
early seventies. She was always to be

the homes of sorrow she has entered,
and her presence was always bene-
diction, and where had been sorrow,
was gladness. Many have been the
persons she has nursed back from sick
ness to health and strength, and her
taking away has caused sorrow to en-
ter many hearts.
Mrs. Horn was born in Ohio in 1922,
and later moved to KeOkuk, Iowa,
where she has brother living, Judge
Trimble. She was twice married, and
by her first husband, had five children
