10 AND BUFFALO" HORNS.

How the willy Red Man Utilities Product
of the slaughter-House.
The Montana Indian is something of
a schemer himself. He comes to town
and sometimes walks all over the place
without saying word to any one.
Sometimes he brings in few sets of
polished mounted cows horns, which
he sells for dollar or two set. He
never frequents saloons. He looks in
to clothing store windows, but never
bucks the slot machines in cigar
stores. He frowns as he passes a res
taurant but smiles while walking
through the sweet-scented alleys back
of cheap boarding houses. In horse
trade he takes the prize, If there's one
to be taken, for he was never known
to get the worst of such bargain.
The reason of this, however, may lie
in the fact that he begins the negotia-
tions with nothing to lose and every
thing to win. However, he has the
reputation of schemer Where his
schemes shine brightest is in the sale
of polished buffalo" horns. He lives
out near one of the slaughter houses
on the south side, and there he secures
his buffalo" horns, all sizes, curves.
and consistencies. He picks out set
of OK horns of symmetrical proper
tons, scrapes the scales off, and boils
the horn in solution of glycerin, wood
ashes and water The treatment sof-
tens the horn, so that caseknife will
easily remove all the exterior accumu-

give the first polish, followed by a
thorough rubbing with flannel cloth
slightly saturated with oil. A varnish
or shellac is then applied, and the
horns are in condition for mounting.

AVOlDABLE ACCIDENTS.
How Familiarity with Accidents Beget.
CarelessnesS

How Familiarity with Accidents Besets
Carelessness
There is no saying truer than that
familiarity breeds contempt, says an
old Pittsburg railroad man. Take, for
example, men who handle high ex-
plosives. When they first go on the
work they handle the explosive tender
ly and gingerly, but with the constant
handling of the dangerous compounds
they grow careless, and dangerous and
deadly explosions are frequently the
result. We had bad accident at one
time, and in order to clear the tracks
it was necessary to dynamite the
wreck. On the wrecking train the
dynamite was in one box on a fiat-car,
with the caps in another, while third
box was provided in which to place
the dynamite cartridges when capped
and ready for use. The two men in
charge of the dynamite, as the wreck
ing train neared the scene of the acct
dent, began to make ready the ex-
plosive. One man affixed the cap to
the cartridge, and then tossed it to his
companion, some seven or eight feet
away, who caught and laid it in the
box We never knew exactly what
happened. Either one man missed his
catch or the other dropped cartridge
in Gaping, but the car, dynamite and
men were wiped out of existence; a
large hole where the car and tracks
had been marked the scene of that
familiarity breeds-contempt accident

TO London, where they sold at $3.50
per crate, after paying the freight. but
these We're choice fruit At home in
Idaho good apples. free from worms,
sold last fall at 81 per box of sixty
pounds. Such returns as these are a
little better than picking, packing and
shipping fruit for the benefit of the
railroads, without any return to the
producer The cause of this difference
in prices is due to the policy of the
present administration, which has cre-
ated business activity throughout the
country, thus assuring better demand
for all farm products.
Let me give you another instance
or two of how the farmers have bene-
fitted in Idaho. During the winter of
1869 hay sold in our state at $3.50
per ton. This year hay has sold at IS
per ton. The improvement in the value
of sheep and wool has already been
referred to by me, but may point out
that the sheepmen have abandoned the
old plan of allowing their sheep to sub
sist upon the winter ranges. A few
years ago sheep were not worth caring
for. They are now valuable, and the
wool produced bring good returns, so
that farmers feed hay to their sheep
in winter, thereby increasing the guam
tity and improving the quality of their
wool. One farmer writes me that in
the fall of 1896 he'sold several hun
dred head of hogs at cents per pound.
Within the last few months he has
sold similar hogs to the same party at
Al cents per pound. The value OF cat
tie has increased in the same proper
ton.
Idaho is far more prosperous today
than it. has ever been. There Is good
demand for the products of our Mines
and with better prices. The state is
full of prosperity, the whole commu-
nifty is satisfied and we are going to
give our electoral vote to President
Mckinley"

He had planted his elbows firmly on

fully on her face, and she could neve"
resist Laddie long. So after repeated
promises she let him go and sat
watching him with the faint hope that
he would not spoil his garments and
get her into disgrace with nurse. The
little fellows words kept repeating
themselves in her ears: Il don't like
waiting" No one liked it, she thought
with sigh, and yet for wears her life
seemed to be all waiting-waiting.

pretty creature, whose fair, blooming

her intention of remaining "auntie" to

There Is much in the way thing is

said Aunt Flora, when Lois came in
from a January walk, glowing from
the cold and exercise. Lois smiled and
looked lovingly at Aunt Flora. Aunt
Margaret entered the room a minute
later, and, glancing at Lois as she
stood by the fire, said: MY! Your face
Is as red as bee" The red grew
deeper in Lois face, while unconscious
ly she turned petulantly from Aunt
Margaret, who prides herself on being
"plain-spoken." Aunt Flora's way is
best She can say the right word at
the right time, too; even the word of
admonition and reproof, but she says
1t in such a manner that one can think
only of the scriptural apples Of gold

Democrats for Expansion.

In those good old days when Demo.
cratic administrations were annexine
all the territory in sight. their plat
forms strongly Endorsed such a policy
The following plank is from the Demo
cratic platform of 1874. when Polk and
Dallas led their ticket:
Resolved, That our title to the
whole of the territory of Oregon is
clear and unquestionable; that no por-
ton of the same ought to be coded to
England or any other power, and that
the re-occupation of Oregon and ne
remuneration of Texas at the earliest
practicable period, are great American
measures, which this convention rec
ommends to the cordial support of the
Democracy of the Union"

Barley was worth only 80 and 33
cents bushel on the farm in the
Democratic years of 1895 and 1896. 1t
was worth 40 and Al cents in the Re-
publican years of 1898 and 1899. Pro,
