He Got 1t and His Friends
Got Him.

Last Saturday night Auditor Pur-
till, whose office has been SO rushed
with work that he finds it necessary
to labor after supper, was nearly
frightened out Of years growth
by what appeared to be burglari-
GUS assault on bis Office. There's
no doubt that the visitor approach
ed stealthily and under cover of the
darkness, as burglars are supposed
to do in plying their nefarious trade.
When Mr.. Purtill heard strange
and stealthy moving about the
Office entrance and no way out (the
windows are too high from the
ground and he wouldn't risk it), he
hailed the man who was trying to
pry off the door with jimmy;
"Hellol Who's there?"
And the answer came in sepul-
chral tones:
"Sh! It's me, Jim?"
"Well, who are you and what do
you want around here with that
mask, dark lantern and safe-crack-
ing OUTFIT"
"Sh! Now, Jim, don't get scared.
| haven't got any of those things
on me. Don't make so much noise.
They'll hear youl"
swell, someone needs to hear.
Who are you and what do you
want?"
"Why, Jim,' whispered the in
truder, ''it's Charley-Charley How
eth and"
Jim threw open the door when
in walked the gentleman above
named.
And so it happened that a Ii
cense to wed was issued to Charley
w. Howeth and Miss Jennie Van
Schaick, both of Mountain Home.
Charley's efforts to keep it from
his friends proved turtle, for they
had surrounded the clerks Office
and pair of eyes peered through
every window and one or two forced
their way into the Office.
The happy pair we're united in
marriage Sunday by Rev. Mason of
the Congregational church and
took the evening train for Boise,
returning Monday night.
Their departure was rendered
unique through the Vaccinations of
friends of the groom, who provided
the ways and means for an old
fashioned "belling." A charivari
party sent them to Boise, vivid

Little Leo Spring, whose ninth
birthday occurred yesterday, cele-
brated the event at the home Of his
parents with the aid of numerous
invited playmates of his own age,
and all who live in that vicinity
can testify to the verify Of the state
ment that the youngsters enjoyed
four hours Of unalloyed bliss.
Houses to rent are much sought
after in Mountain Home these days,
and almost any kind of shelter is
we'll paid for by the anxious hunter.
Just now The Bulletin has sew
eral inquiries on file and anyone
knowing of or having house or
houses to rent can accomplish much
good by letting this office know
about it.

To G. w. Howeth, Nampa, Idaho.
Just think Of IT.

The return Monday night was a
signal for renewal of hostilities. A
detail of small boys made the first
sortie, but the groom basely
bribed them to retire with a hand
full of silver. The main force of the
buccaneers we're sharpening harpoons
for night attack, which was made
about 10 o'clock. Tearing Mr.. HI.
ruthlessly from his wife's side, the
ruffian band placed him in their
midst and marched him like con.
demned criminal through the streets
and into every refreshment resort in
the city, meanwhile beating their
tomtoms, changing bells, exploding
giant firecrackers and playing ten.
pins with the delighted victim. And
Charley seemed to enjoy it more
keenly than any of the Piutes, in
spite of the fact that bankruptcy
stared him in the face.
After awhile they allowed him to
90 home. There was method in
this play, for little while after re-
tiring, strains of soft music stole
upon the senses of bride and groom
in their nuptial chamber. gently
lulling them to sleep. 1t lasted
little time, then the whoop Of the
redskins broke hole in the night,
followed by an invasion of the bri
dal chamber by the savages with q
command that the occupants get up
On refusing to obey, they were both
thrown out and compelled to face
the music. And they did it. Wine
and other liquid refreshment anc
cigars were lavishly provided, anc

night marauders, concluded thu

be handed down as the most cele
brated charivari in the annals o

AN AMERICAN DESERT.
There Is No Cultivated Place on the
State Line Between Utah
and A rizona.

II. B. Carpenter, a civil engineer who
has just completed the survey of the
southern line of Utah, says the bound
ary between that state and Arizona
does not cross a foot of cultivated
land. 1t trGverses a desert which is
cut up by great canyons that are al
most impassa BILE. The length of the
line is 277 miles.
Landmarks along the line will make
it possible for the boundary to be To-
Gated without any difficulty in the fu-
ture. Just east of the Colorado river
a sandstone butte rises 1000 feet
above the plain, and the very peak of
this butte is exactly on the boundary.
Mr.. Carpenter named the peak State
Line butte. Not far from this butte
is another, which stands 1900 feet
above the plain, and was named Tow
er peak. These two gigantic stones,
says the Philadelphia Record, will al
ways be a guide to persons who have
enough curiosity to penetrate the des-
ert in search of the state line.

DrugginE Flowers.

Ever since the days of that floral
domination, the green carnation, we
have known that flowers are sus-
ceptible to influence of drugs and
can be made to change their colors
by proper, or, rather, improper,
treatment. This branch of foricul-
ture has been pursued further by in
quiring people, and it seems that
plants are as liable to the effects of
poisons as are human beings. If you
give a flower too much chloroform,
it will not agree with it. In the
words of the operator, "it droops and
dies" IL is difncult to see what
is the advantage of this particular
study. Everyone knows that flowers
can be killed far too easily. If some
scientific person would find way
of causing them to bloom all the year
round in our climate, that would be
something of discovery-less scien-
tific, perhaps, but much more accept
able-London Truth.

AMERICAN PATE DE FOIS GRAs
Settlement of BOhemians In wiscon-
sin Town Where the Goose Liv-
era Are Produced.

Persons who read of the tortures in
hicted upon geese in France and Ger
many, where the celebrated pate de
fois gras is made, are seldom aware
that in one place in our own country
the same methods are used to fatten
geese for the Hebraic population In
New York. In Watertown, Wis, says
the New York Herald, there is set
tlement of Bohemians where the wom-
en- pursue this work as the chief in
dustry of the place. The geese are
nailed by their web feet to the floors
of wooden cages set in dark, warm
rooms.
They are then fed with all they can
possibly eat and when appetite falls
they are crammed with noodles made
of dough of corn and buckwheat
and forced down their throats with a
stick. Every two hours this forced
feeding rs applied and in few weeks
the bodies of the tortured fowls are
distended like pumpkins, the liver
alone frequently weighing from one
and a half to two pounds, and the
geese from 20 to 25 pounds.
They are then killed and plucked by
the women, the latter opera ton being
completed before they are really deao'
and are shipped to New York city.
Arriving there, they are put IN colo
storage, where they may remain TOT
months or years. They are esteemed
great delicacy by many persons, ana
quantities of them are used.
