The Teton Peak says that a

| Newspaper men are not hard
hearted as they might be. Many
a good item of news has never
known publicity because it would
wound a mothers heart, or dis
grace q fathers name.
A. r. Smith hopes TO have his

pleted soon, and on the 18th OF

Early to bed and early to rise
does well for sick folks and
guys, but it makes a man miss
all the fun till he dies, and joins
the stifs that have gone to the
skies. Go to bed when you
please, and lie at your ease,
you'll die just the same with
some Latin disease.
The Pahsamaroi club met their
defeat at the ball game in Challis
last Friday by our home team
without complaint. They are a
fine nine of boys to play ball

weak in pitching. and they real
lied that they had no chance of
winning the game after the sec
ond innings.
The Merchants Lament -
There are some shoppers in this
town who think they know it

They shop, and shop, and on
clerks have no pity.
But when they have a cent to

City.
Our second hand junk shop ed

business man, hypocrite, etc. re-
ferS to the MESSENGER in a re-
cent issue as a kicker. Itis far
better to be ''kicker" than a
hireling, one that has to do the
bidding of a corporation or lose

are responsible, nor do we have
to consult any corporation OF
person. Therefore. we can cen
isure wrong and praise right as
