DYNAMITER PARDONED.
President Pardons Ring-Lead
er in Occur d'Alene Riots,

or In Occur d'Al6ne Riots.
1t is not so many weeks ago
that Governor Hunt pardoned out
Corcoran from the penitentiary,
who was one of the participants in
the late dynamite outrages in the
Occur d. Alenes, and the virtuous
republican land Office papers all
over the state of Idaho got out
scare head lines denouncing the
governor for cowardice, and accus-
ing him of playing politics to catch
the dynamite vote! The Boise
Statesman, Lewiston Teller, Mt.
Idaho Mail, Moscow Mirror, Mos
COW Star, and other brilliant lights
of the land Office administration, al
80 published a cartoon showing the
state of Idaho as a female with
head bowed down in shame, while a
scare head entitled "SHAME"
headed the whole. But now that
president "Rosenfelt," as Dooley
calls him, has followed the prece-
dent set by Governor Hunt, we
call upon the land Office papers to
get out their scare heads. cuts and
cartoons, and give the president OF
the United States a dose of the
same medicine they gave the Gov
ernor of the state. What is sauce
for Hunt ought to be sauce for
"Rosenfelt," and we hope the pap
suckers will not crawfsh on the
proposition. The thought of the
moral depravity of our strenuous
president in actually pardoning q
convicted Occur d. Alene dynamitel
out Of the penitentiary is enough
to make the angels weep, and we
may now surely expect the heav.
ems to fall and chaos to come upon
this dreadfully wicked world
Meanwhile it will be mighty inter
estin' to read the loud silence
which the land Office papers will
maintain upon this official act Of
the president. Surely Senators
Heitfeld and Dubois must have
hypnotised his excellency, the pres
dent, into the pardoning act in or
der to put the land Office papers il
this state into the deepest hol,
they ever crawled into. Great ar,
the land Office papers, and sub
lime is their infuence-and impu
dence.

Expert Test on Ores Made
Three Years Ago.

Captain j. X. Wood arrived
from the east last Friday. He
was formerly at Warren, where he
operated the lola mine, and he
gives some very interesting infor-
nation concerning his investiga-
ton Of the Thunder Mountain ore
deposits three years ago. His at
tention was called to the district
and he went over and made an
examination, taking bond on
the Caswell property. He found
the deposit was altogether different
from anything he had ever seen.
In order to determine the value of
the ore, he had large quantity
packed into Warren, where it was
milled. The ore was secured from
a number of points ON the noun.
tain side. Holes were dug sys-
tematically over large portion of
the mountain. From each guam
tity of ore was taken at random,
and the entire lot was packed to
Warren and milled as stated.
One lot Of about 2O75 pounds
returned q little over $11. Another
shipment was made Of some 27OO
pounds. The grade of this lot as
shown by the amount Of gold saved
was not quite as good.
In milling the ore, Captain
Wood found that, by being careful
not to crowd it through too fast
every particle was saved. 1t was
perfectly free milling. Being 80
soft, it could be put through very
rapidly, but it was possible to
overcrowd the plates and cause a
loss.
Captain Wood also visited the
Spnnyside group belonging to the
Caswells, which is two miles east
of the property sold Colonel Dewey.
1t was his impression that the ore
there was of much better grade
though the deposit did not seem t.
be so wide. He PANIED from {
number of points and in every in
stance got results that indicated
very good values.

Our Lifting Power.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs Of the body, have their stages Of
development and decline Our physical
strength increases up to certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands Of people
have been made by means of a dyna-
mometer strength measurer), and the
following are given as the average dg-
ures for the white race:
The lifting power" Of a youth OF
seventeen years is 280 pounds; In his
twentieth year this increases to 800
pounds. and in the thirtieth and thirty
first years it reaches its height, $50
pounds. At the end Of the thirty first
year the strength begins to decline.
very slowly at first.
By the fortieth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate unt11
the fftieth year Is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t IL not
possible to give statistics Of the decline
of strength after the fftieth year. as It
varies to large extent in different In
dividuals.

The ambitious attempts Of the for

American customers have been describ
ed by Mrs. Gillespie in "a Book of Re
membrance" as part of her amusing
experiences in Berlin.
Supplies of linen were to be bought,
and we went again to the shop where
we had essayed to speak German and
the shopman had answered US with ef-
fort in English.
We found him affable as before, and,
although we told him in German that
we wanted to look at towels, he
brought out some and said:
81 have found it very difficult to be-
come such a towel as this"
We agreed with him and then asked
for som? other articles which he was
obliged to look for in some distant part

How simple are the Russian soldiers
may be judged from their amusemenfs.
Their greatest pleasures are singing.
dancing and playing on the sharmon-
fka," a musical instrument like a con-
certina; or on the "ballailaika," q na-
tional musical instrument something
like a banjo. which Will keep them
amused for hours. II he can only play
two or three tunes, Ivan Iyanovitch
will be able to enjoy himself raptur-
ously.
Singing, however, Is his greatest
pleasure. and chorus singing Is great
feature In the Russian army's accom-
plishments. The number of songs an
ordinary soldier knows is beyond be-
lief. Singing is encouraged by the Of
fcers, and the men with the best voices
are specially rewarded. Among NIT
crate people the singer will always b
able to exert great influence One has
only to see Russian regiment on the
march to understand what moral
power the singers can give the soldiers.
Ivan Ivanovitch stands greatly IN
need Of cheap forms Of amusement.
for he Is wretchedly paid He is die
worst paid soldier in Europe. and
therefore has very hard time during
his four years Of service unless his
good folks at home are inclined to be
generous.

The disparageinent of the usefulness
and Importance of the thumb Implied
In the expression His fingers are all
thumbs" seems undeserved in view of
the important part the thumb formerly
played in the social customs of the
people and the very important part it
plays i'm our own lives.
Lord Erskine in his Institutes"
states that among certain of the lower
ranks in Scotland the final settlement
of bargain was always signalized by
the licking ana joining of thumbs.
Selden in Titles of Honor" says that
kissing the thumb was characteristic
of servility. The clergy, the rich and
the great were in receipt of this honor
from their tradesmen. From the re-
motest days Of antiquity the practice
of licking the thumb has always been
regarded as a pledge or promise exist
ing, according to Tacitus and other au-
thorities, among the Goths, the Iberians
and the Moors, and it may also be trac.
ed through successive periods down to
our own times.

why James Forswore Humor.


James was always under the impress
sion that he was born humorist, and
his friends never succeeded In convinc-
ing him to the contrary. But he has
given up trying to be funny now. He
says his humor was the means Of los
ing a girl with q lot Of money, and he
has never got over the blow. He ex-
plains it in this way:
He was courting q brokers' daughter.
One day he called upon her. and she
happened to be at home. He consider:
ed himself fortunate, as she had been
out every time he had called for .
week, and he determined to make the
best Of his opportunity and pop the
question. He found her In q room
busily engaged with small bundles OF
dried grasses which she had collected.
"What a quantity of dried grass you
have collected, Miss Ritchie" he said
Then his humor burst forth Nice
room for a donkey to get into.'
MAKE yourself at home, Mr.. James"
she said sweetly before he could finish
the joke.
He went home, and all the humor
was crushed out of him forever.-Scots
