Convention At Alpine,

The Disciples Of Christ will hold
their semi annual convention al
what is known as the Alpine church
about miles west of Greer, Idaho,
November IA to L. Several preach
ers are expected to be present.
Disciples and friends from every
part Of north Idaho are earnestly
solicited to be present.
The main business Of the conven.
ton will be to plan the svangelis-
tic work of the district and to se-
cnre it's support. Mr.. l.. F. Steph-
ems and wife, who are the district
evangclists, have since the camp
meeting at Nezperce, organized
good church at Carngeville.
Grounds were selected and a house
built and dedicated free from debt.
Mr.. Stephens and wife are now at
Moscow. From there they expect
to 80 to. Genesee.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1901-11-15

This evangelistic work will be
continued as long as it can be sup
ported; everyone interested in such
an effort should render all the aid
possible. Those interested in evan
gelistic work in their respective
communities should not fail to be
present at the convention and help
to arrange a date when the evan
gelists can reach the various fields.
Those who come to Greer by rail on
the 14th. will probably find con-
veyance TO the Alpine church.

Old MAil-Box.

Among the treasures held by ths
Antiquarian Society in Portsmouth
New Hampshire, there is an OLD
box the history of which is given
on label which it bears.
The box is of tin, painted green,
and shows signs Of much usage,
which is not surprising when one
considers that it carried the United
States mail between Portsmouth
and Boston during the Revolution.
II is about nii.e inches long, four
and half inches wide and little
more than that in height
1t was carried on horseback by
Cap. John Nobel, otherwise known
as Deacon Nobel, who was post
rider until 1888.
This box contained all the ma
and made every week one round
"trip, occupying three days in the
journey-from Portsmouth TO Bos
ton the first Of the week, aud three
days at the end of the week from
Boston to Portsmouth. The dis
tance between the two places is a
little more than fifty miles.
The mail-box is somewhat bat
tered and the paint is faded and
scraped, but there is no doubt in
case need arose the stoat little box
could even now serve as it did in
the time Of the countrys peril. /

An Epitaph That Failed.

A Louisville wit goes to church, or
did go to church, where a prominent
member of the congregation who had
a pew close by used to slumber through
the entire service. When the text was
given out he nodded. and by the time
the pastor got good start he was OBJ
ivious of everything until the pastor
woke him up. After awhile the man
died, and one day shortly afterward
one of the friends of the family came
to the wit and said: "See here, old boy,
I don't pretend to be smart and up-to-
date like you, but Blanks wife has sent
for me and asked me to arrange about
the inscription on her husbands mon
ument. She wants something short
and appropriate, and over this she is
going to have his name and the date of
his birth and death. I'm the last per
son in the world to undertake such a
job, SO I thought you might help me
out" ''Why, with pleasure" said. the
joker, and his grin should have warned
the caller, but it didn't. Taking out a
pencil and notebook, the fend wrote a
line or two and handed it over. "See
how you like it," he said, and as the APP
icant read the lines they ran as fol-
lows: George Blank, born, died

at Laramie when she heard that the
soldier she loved had come back from
the far east with a pale-faced bride.
There were red men of the Oga1la1las
to whom the name of Hal Folsom was
taunt and an insult to this day, men
whom his father had vainly sought to
appease, and they were Burning Star,
the lover, and two younger braves, the
brothers of the girl they swore that
Hal had lured away.
South of the Platte as it rolled past
Frayne and Laramie, those Indians
were bound by treaty not to go. North
of the Platte Hal Folsom was warned
never again to venture. These were
the stories which were well known to
the parents of the girl he wooed and
ly explained to her. Now, even behind

the boy believed it. Frequent contact

skill or prowess until that contact

Fain would lul1 the waves to rest,
Loudly beating on the shore,
As a wild bird beats its breast;
Through a hedge OF ragged clouds,
Gropes the moon her lonely way:
Twixt the thicket peering far,
Here and there a little star
Wheresoe'er perplexity
Felt the touch of sympathy.
SentineIs, in black and gray,
Dark the distant mountains loom,
Trees their iea1ess branches sway,
Grim guardians of the gloom;
Hush, the while, within their arms,
Any nfght-belated bird,
To whose twitter of content
Winds are moaning sad assent,
In all earth's perpIexfty,
Things of earth give sympathy!
In the hush Of silent grief,
Angels bend their heads to hear;
In the hour of unbelief,
God is drawing very near,
And, by passion, tempest-toss'd,
He was tempted like as We"

Slips of the Tongue.

It is an invariab1e rule that mem
bers of the house of commons must
address their remarks to the house
through the chair, and, though in the
flow of argument an orator is often al
lowed, without remonstrance, to USE
the second personal plural in admon-
ishing his opponents, the first words
are always addressed to the occupant
of the chair. This, like many other
rules of debate, has percolated from
the house of commons down to all our
minor assemblies, and the consequence
is that few members find any difficult
ty in complying with the custom
Not infrequently, however, ruling hab-
