lp front of the postoffce, Friday af-
ternoon, white man was PROSTATE on
the sidewalk, evidently undergoing the
unconscious suffering and tremb-
ling OF a severe fit. A crowd gathered
around him. In his hand he clutched
suspicious paper, on which was
written the information that he was
deaf and dumb, had been blown up in
mine and was subject to frequent fits.
He wanted money enough to pay his
railroad fare to Nashville. He was
carried to Mr.. Braselton's restaurant
for meal and while there had two
more fits. His story may be true one
and he may be all he represented him
self to be, but 8 few months ago, a
Dalton paper stated that white man of
similar description and affection, had a
fit in church there, and that he was
dissembler, and acting part with a
view OF creating sympathy and getting
contributions as assistance from the
church people. II this be true, it is
pity an impositor will so act, for when
his duplicity is exposed it will leave the
tendency to close up sympathetic
hearts to appeals of those actually de-
serving and in need of help

Queer Houses in New Zealand.

New Zealand has some quaint things
in the way Of houses. In places where
fiat land is scarce, there Is sometimes a
difficulty in securing space for place
on which TO build a house. Here is a
singular situation for cottage, access
to which is gained by climbing the
rock at the back. In the back blocks
of new country some queer habita-
tions are erected, and a bootmaker's
shop in the wilds Of the colony is rather
picturesque specimen. 1t is composed
of sacking on frame of saplings, while
the chimney, from which his "shin-
giles" is hung, is formed OF "bungies"- =
the stems of the handsome Punga-
Punga treefern.

PHYLLIS.

In powdered wig and silken hose,
Young Corydon as suitor kneels,
To offer Phyllis fair the rose
That in its tender tint reveals
The color Of his beating heart,
Which Cupid shivered with dart.
But Phyllis coyly hesitates;
She may-she can't-she won't-she
will,
The while her patient lover waits,
With all his heart a-beating still.
For Doubt itself suggests chance
OF waking up the rare romance.
His face is fair; his eyes are blue;
He kneels a supphant at her feet;
And surely must his heart be trne, !
Thus, with a smile serene and sweet
She gently takes the proffered rose
And ends his hopes and fears and
woes.
Then Corydon pursues his suit
With tender touch and facile phrase,
While Phyllis, for the moment mute,
With eyes cast down befoEe his gaze,
Lists to the tale of lovd lifelong,
To echo the immortal song.
How often Wst5tedaia 1imned She pair,
\ And won the praise of manS 0ens!
NBut dlISSaon's in the air.
And here they pose before the lens.
Yet Phyllis in her rich brocade
Is Phyllis still-in tailor-made.
Be sure we love her just the same
AS in the days Of yore, when we
Were wont to play the wooing game
In buckled shoon, on bended knee.
The Heart that loves is still Heart
In all the divers dreams of Art.

A Breezy Time.

The people Of Caldwell enjoyed
an opportunity, Friday night of
seeing "a Breezy Time" played.
And they took advantage of the
opportunity, as evinced by the
size of the audiance. This is the
second time this troop has played
in Caldwell both times to a large
and appreciative house, which
is itselfa better recommendation than
we could give. Everybody seemed
to enjoy the entertainment, and as
this was the object of it, the play
must be considered a great success.
The company is first class in every
particular.

HOW ABOUT IDAHO.

r
tI.he Lewiston If11i6stae Of Ne
yember rs contains a short article
OH the reelection Of Mr.. Boutellel
as representative in Congress from
the Fourth Congressional District
of Maine. Mr.. Boutelle since last
May has been in private sanitar-I
ium in order to recuperate his dag
ging mental powers, and the 1,i6-i
me thinks his reelection IS shame
and disgrace, because he can be of
no use to his constituents. Mr..
Boutelie, however, is not in the
hopeless condition the Iri6une
would have US believe, and the peo-
pie of his district were assured that
after much-needed rest he would
recover. But let us look at the
philosophy of the article, that is
that it is a disgrace to elect a man
to Congress who can be of no use.
IF this idea be correct the Tribune
need not go clear over to Maine to
find cause for grief. What particu.
lar good did Sen. Heitfelt ever do
Idaho? Then what good will Tom
my Glenn, the man who was sup
pressed by the Democratic State
committee do? Will his influence
in Washington be of any advantage
to Idaho? And again according to
the Pocatello convention, Fred T.
Dubois is to be our next United
States Senator. They didn't go to
an asylum to find him, It's true,
but we will venture the assertion
that he will not have the influence
Boutelle has. The reason is, these
Idaho men will be out of harmony
with the Administration at Wash
ington and, of course, will have no
more influence than a snipe. We
admit their election was somewhat
of a disgrace, in fact great deal

tive Boutel1e, but we did not ex-
pect such an admission from the

LEGISLATION AND PROGRESS In
THE PHILIPPINES.

Legislative body is now dis
charging functions in the Philip
pine Islands. This is not, of
course, such a body as we are gen
orally familiar with in the United
States, where representatives select
ed by the people at large in given
political division gather to make
regulations for the government of
the inhabitants thereof. The body
to which we have reference as leg
islating in our new possessions in
the far East is the Philippine Com
mission, whose functions are exer-
cised by the authority of the Presi-
dent of the United States, and nat
uralIy enough, its duties are to a
large extent administrative. At
the same time, its enactments, t1n-
less disapproved, have the force OF
law, and, whatever may be the nat
TIRE of some of its functions, it is in
reality legislative body. The
procedure of the commission is of a
kind, one would think, to commend
itself to people long familiar with
the processes of Spanish manage
ment. The work of the commits
sion Is open, and it is based upon
an understanding arrived at as the
result of careful investigation in
to the conditions of the islands and
of their people. An intelligent ba-
sis and method free from obnox-
ious features should commend the
results to the people for whose ben
eft they are intended.
acknowledgements, the first legis-
Iation for the Islands, under new
conditions, was concerned with the
development of the material basis
of civilization. The earliest act of
the commission was the passage of
a bill appropriating $4,000, 900,
Mexican, to be expended in the irn-
mediate construction and repair of
highways and bridges in the is
lands. The sum appropriated was
directed to be expended under the
direction of the military governor
in such construction and repairs as
commended themselves to him as
most conducive to the public well
fare. It was explained on the part
of the commission that the large
amount of road construction provid-
ed for would furnish employment
