The LION VISITS BARBER.

Charles Battell Loomis in Harper $
Magazine for AugUstO
There was once lordly lion with a most
imposing air
And his splendid head was covered with A
taWny shock of hair;
II was parted in the middle and It huns
on either side,
And it isn't any wonder that it was the
But his wiIe was very prosy; she was
dOmineering. too
And she said, THAT artists mop of silky
hair will never do.
As the noble game of football does not
fill you with delight;
AS you 90 not play piano at concert
every night;
As you never painted pictures and for
acting do not care
Why, you really have no business with
that silly shock of hair"
Now the lion, though a fighter, did not
like domestic strife,
And he'd found that to avoid 1t he must
mind his little wife.
So he answered very sweetly, What you
say is always right.
| will part with my adOrnment, If you
wish, this very night;
You're my only little WHEY; 1 obey at
your behest;
will even shave my whiskers if you think
it's Tor the best"
She took him to the BARRIERS and the bar
Der shouted ''NeXt5s
And the lion was be-aproned, though he
felt extremely VeXed.
Then his wife said to the barber. Cut it
close or even shorter;
Why, in fact. take all the hair off that
you care to for a quarter,
So the barber Piled his scissors. and he
cut with main and might.
All too soon the job was finished, and
the lion was a fright
First he looked into the mirror, then ne
gave an awful roari-
And the barber and his seiSsorS-they
were never heard OF more.

Village Organization on Foot.

Last week we advocated the orsaRiza-
tion Of Emmett into village. and that
action be taker at once. that the com
missioners might complete the work at
their next meeting. Since then pc
iiiiOn has been written and is in the
hands Of Z. p Bilderback. It is the
duty of every inhabiiant taxpayer TO
sign the petition, unless he has reasons
for opposing Il. and he should attend to
the matter at once.
The territory to be included within the
village is bounded by the Payette river
on the north. by the section line Just
west Of Mrs. Hayes prune orchard on the
east, by the quarter section liue just a
quarter OF mile south OF Dir. Daley
dwelling on the sJuih. aud By the wesi
line Of section Z, which is oue-half mile
west Of Cartwrighs's store, on the west
We stated last week that The cost Of
such an Organization would be but a
trifie and BY way Of explanation viii
say that the law. in substance, provides
that 10 per cent. Of the license collected
from saloons shall be turneG over to the
village. that such fines as come about
by its action shall be turned int
the village treasurery, aud that each vii
lage can levy special or city Ii cense up
on each business. The incoms from
these three sources would reduce the tai
levy toa very low rate for the support o
the village.

ImpetigO COntagiOsO.

The disease. lmpeligo contagioso, is
apt 10 be taken for small pox. Quite an
epidemic of this disease has occurred
during the last year, imported to this
country from Porto Ricon. In many in
stances it has been called small pox.
The pustules somewhat resemble small
pox, although they are larger, and the
scab formed is much more formidable
looking. The fever whicn precedes the
eruption in impetigO is much less than in
small pox. In fact all Of the conslitu-
tional symptoms of small poN are much
more pronounced than in impetigo. On
the other hand the eruption is much
more pronounced than in small pox. al
though it does not make the patient very
sick. Impeiigo is an infections disease,
and under unsanitary surroundings will
spread rapidly. a great many small
towns have been quaraniined, and the
business OF the towns ruined for many
moslths, simply because some health Of
ficer has mistaken impeligo for small poN.
I II would be difficult 10 estsmate the
amount of harm that has been done in
that way. While, of course, it is advis-
able 10 isolate even cases OF impetigo, so
the disease can not spread any farther,
/ yet 10 cali such cases small poS is TO pro-
duce unnecessary alarm and subject the
patent to all horrors of quarantine and
the pest house without cause.-Medical
| Talk.
The above will probably carry with il
more weight and authority than we car
give, from the fact that the opinion ot
our home physician is disputed by Dr.
lsham Of Caldwell. We must acknowl
edge that Emmett is cursrd with th'
disease OF surrounding towns and man,
here have b1en down with it but nothing
has caused any serious alarm until out
side doctors delighted il giving us
scare. The opinion of a majority Of tn
doctors in this part of Idaho are in har
mOny with the Medical Talk and We
trust that Dr.. Hunts advice will Prov
correct.
