State Auditor Il. w. Jones hav-
ing been accused Of being middle
of-the-road Andrews Rep. Populist,
comes out in q card and in most
emphatic language denies the grave
charge. After extolling the present
and former fusion state admins
trations for their economical and
patriotic acts, he says:
"Under these conditions it seems
that no person who is a Democrat
or Populist has any just cause for
complaint, or any reason why the
working in harmony Of the two par
ties should not be continued; con-
sequently, as citizen who has the
welfare Of Idaho, and not personal
ambition, at heart, / am in favor OF
continuing the cooperation OF these
parties in the interest of economical
government in trustworthy hands
selected by the state conventions
and any man. or set of men, who
puts into circulation a report to the
contrary does so without authority
and positively through personal and
selfish motives
AS State Auditor, Bert Jones has
made splendid official record He
is sincere in his convictions, is a
staunch friend of the laboring man,
and we hope yet to be able to wei
come him into the ranks of the
Democracy. Fusion is dead IN

was current among the undergraduates
at oxford In my day. 1t had reached
the masters ears that Ballot men were
not so successful In the examination In
"Rudiments Of Religion" rs in the clas-
steal schools, 80 that he determined to
call up the next batch Of candidates
and catechise them himself in Bible
history. "AIr. Smith," he IL reported
to have said, what prophet went up to
heaven in chariot of fire?" Elijah,

Of this college should be so ignorant!
Mr. Jonesf" Elijah. SIR" "Mr.
Brownf" "Elijah, SIR" At this point
the library boy entered, and to strike
the undergraduates with shame he was
appealed to. Tell these gentlemen
what prophet went up to heaven In a
chariot of fire." "Eluah, SIR" Then
ensued pause and then, well, gentle
men, perhaps 1t was Elijah!'-Cornhill

The Eskimo gentleman never selects
a wife In his own village. Az soon as

he goes Into neighboring village and
falls IN fit of love before some likely
girl. She IN then penned up for some
time In n house-a sort of dugout or
burrow In the ground-nnd when the
bride day comes he goes there and
crawls In. 1t Is In the play that the
bride to be shall 80 strenuously object
that she fights him of He then goes
out and gets his dogs and sled. and
in again, overcomes her. ties her hands
and feet. places her on the sled and
hauls her to his own village. That
completes the ceremony of marriage.
The whole village gives them a we'd
ding feast. Next day. or later on. II
they don't forget II. they so before a
minister of the gospel and are married
In due form. This feature of the union,
however, IL not important and does
not bother them very much.
The dressing of the brides hair Is
revelation. II IL done up In series
OF Knots about foot high OH top of
