ON TowsER AND THE oHIoKs.

One evening when Towser, the New
foundland dog, went to bed in his
nicely straw carpeted kennel, he
saw something round and white and
smooth lying in one corner, but being
a good dog he did not interfere with
it, but lay down and went to sleep.
The next night there was another,
and then another and another, until
thirteen lay in the corner together.
On the fourteenth night old Towser
| found something else in his kennel
q little bantam hen covering the round
white eggs with her body and wings.
Now Towser and the bantams were
the best of friends, for they often ate
out of the same dish, and I dare say
Towser felt not o little complimented
as he lay with his nose just a little
nearer the door of his kennel that he
might the better guard his little friend
who it seemed had sought his pro-
lection,
And SO every night for three weeks
old Towser found the bantam snug
gled in one corner of his kennel. It
was nice for a. poor, lonely old dog to
have company all the night through
Land ! have no doubt he appreciated
na ,a he proved afterward.
On NE twenty-frst night he heard
strange sounds. There were faint
s'peeps," the cracking of egg shells,
and the soft sscluck" Of the bantam
hen.
Old Towser didn't understand what
was going on, but it made him wake
full, and he pricked up his ears and
barked q little louder; but the next
day. when he saw his little friend
walking about the yard, with eleven
little chicks, he was delighted, show
ing his expressions of JOY by frisking
about the hen and in many other ways.
A week later, when the poor little
hen was run over and killed, old Tow
ser took the chicks into his kennel
with him, and lay down in the corner.
and when they Struggled close up
under the long hair of his body, he
Law very quiet that he might not dis.
tnrb or iniure them. In that way he
took care of them all night, led them
out the next day, and with = bark Of
delightwas seen scratching the ground
vigorously that the chicks might find
q soft place to scratch for themselves.
TWAS q funny sight to see Towser
going about the yard follower BY fhe
little chicks. The people here love
to talk abont it yet. Towser raised
all those chicks. He would fight fol
them in a moment, and now that they
are grown, moody dares to kill one
to eat for fear old Towser may SET
them.

Endorsement of his candidacy for the SEN
atorship of Idaho. The republican lead
ers are beyond all question friendly to
the reelection of Senator Shoup, of Idaho.
Shoup is not talkative man, but he has
earned the reputation of being man OF
brain, strength of character, and hard
political sense, and this kind of men are
appreciated in the United States senate.
Consequently the senators who are i'll evil
dence here are not giving much encour-
agement to the boom of Mr.. Hepburn,
and he has not met with much success.
The republicans really hope that Mr..
Hepburn will see his way clear to the
concentration of the republican forces in
Idaho upon Senator Shoup, in the hope
that he can be elected and carry the state,
with the view that Mr.. Hepburn will have
a splendid opportunity to succeed Heit-

Bryrnism has been severely crushed III

section than the Lake House. Just 20
miles from Lewiston and situated on the
beautiful Lake Waha, it should be YER

An Independent Decision.

Moscow, Idaho, June Alan import
ant suit was decided in the district court
today by judgment for the plaintiff of
$2S73.5o. The suit was between Peter
Thompson, farmer, and McGrew &
Long, elevator men of Kendrick. Long
went into insolvency, and at the time
there was wheat in the elevator belong
ing to Thompson. The question first
decided by the jury was that McGrew
was a member of the firm, and hence Ii
able for the wheat stored. This settles
a litigation which has been pending for
two years.

of our own state were rounded up, hud-
died into stock cars and sent to the can
merry. Only the plowhorse, the cavalry
charger, kept largely for show, and
horses for the use of fire departments and
small delivery needs, maintained their
place in the industrial world. The COM
mercial value Of these sharply declined,
owing largely to the disfavor into which
horsefesh was thrown by applied cleo
tricity.
A few years, and the changes that they
have wrought have, however, caused the
horse to be reinstated in public favor,
and today the careful breeder of horses
finds good market for his animals, with
demand in certain grades that he has
not yet been able to meet with adequate
supply. This is especially true OF the
grade of horses required for cavalry serv-
ice and other uses of the government; or
heavy draft horses and strong, well-bred
farm horses. The market for such horses,
so far from being overstocked, is never
full. The depression in prices of few
years ago had the effect of allowing the
ranges to become overstocked with a
wild, worthless breed. This was followed
by reaction that cleared them out as a
measure of self-interest, and the business
of horse raising in the state may now be
said to have resumed the normal condi-
ton that follows and supports demand
and supply. The industry will soon re.
vive under this condition, and, while the
cayuse of the ranges will be worthless
still the intelligently bred product of the
stock farm will meet ready sale in the flu
ture at prices that will make horseraisine
profitable. This is another proof giver
that commercial values are adjusted te
commercial demands.

The Horse RedivivuS.

When the bottom fell out of the horse
market few years ago, 1t was very gen
orally supposed that horseraising as an
industry in the United States was thing
of the past. The herdes on the ranges of
the great table lands were abandoned to
imbreeding and detoriation; the family
buggy horse was petted and grieved over
as the last of his race: the street car horse
was sold to the glue factory and the fer
tilizing plant and later the range horses

FUNNY LABOR STORY.
The Union Piemakers Of Greater New
York Have Il Misumderstan ding.

Pie, which for some time back has
been fruitful source of discord be-
tween labor unionists, is now the in
nOcent cause of a new problem to all
members of labor organizations in
New York and Brooklyn who are
sticklers for union rules. The Journey
men Pie Bakers union of Greater New
York has declared war on the Pie Bak-
ing Employees union Of BROOKLYN and
the latter has taken up the challenge
and invited the other to ''come on
Each asserts that it is the only genu-
inc pie bakers union in the greater
city and that the other is spurious
imitation, and until the great fight is
settled good union men cannot tell
what pies they may safely eat without
Infringing on union rules. Some Of the
unions it was stated, have enjoined
their members to refrain from eating
pie Of any kind until the question is
settled. but members who are married
cannot control the tastes Of their wives
and children.
The members of the Laborers' Union
Protective society, however, who are
the greatest pie eaters in the labor
movement, can owing to long practice,
it is asserted, tell a genuine union pie
by merely looking at it closely, and
their union has therefore taken no acs
ton in the matter. AS each of the pie
constructors unions uses the same ar
guments to prove that it is the only
genuie piemakers' union in the Great
er New York. it is said that they will
never be able to settle the question
themselves and that other unions NAV
be drawn into the fight. The BROOKLYN
members say that their pies are known
and eaten as strictly union products by
workingmen all over the metropolitan
district-NeW York Times.

to become minority stock holders are
still at the mercy of q few who com
troll the majority of the stock. It is
probable. that the labor union does not
stimulate it's members to the keenest
exertions as much as does the trust,
but this only part Of the general weak
ness of the wage system, which does
not find any way Of giving the work
man as much interest. in the business
as have the owners. On the other
hand, the union has not such a bad
influence upon political conditions as
has the giant corporation, which is
constantly seeking favors and discrim-
nations from taxing and franchise
giving bodies and from ttherailroads.
The extent to which legislation in the
interest of our great corporations. es-
pecially our monOpolies and trusts, is
pure matter of; bargain and sale in
nearly all Of our legislative and council
chambers would horrify the country if
really understood in all it's enormity.
The direct ethical aspect of trade I'M
ionism IS seen in it's relief of those in
distress, whether from lack Of work,
old age, sickness or death of the bread
winner. -
Our trade unions have been the most
active force in securing compulsory
education, factory legilation, employ
ers' liability acts, free public employ
ment bureaus, bureaus Of labor stats,
tics. boards Of arbitration, sanitary
laws for workers, the regulating or
prohibition Of sweatshops, the early
closing of stores, and the eight hour

lily with efforts Of other. classes in Sc
curing the prohibition Of most kinds of
Sunday labor. -
Recognizing, then, that our own
rapidly growing labor organizations
are not directly seeking TO increase the
skill or efficiency of their members,
but to secure better terms from the
employer and better protection from
the State, we are bund to admit that
in the accomplishment Of these ends a
better standard Of living and higher
ethical ideas are gradually developed.
BY all odds the worst feature of Am
erican unions is the readiness of many
Of their leaders to desert their organi-

ons. Fortunately the rank and the file
Of the unions are beginning to recog-
