A few don't for zero weather:
Don't keep consulting the thermom-
eter; it has a bad effect upon the cir
culation.
Don't try to economic on fuel Coal
is cheaper than plumbers.
Don't brag about not having to wear
an overcoat. The man to whom you
are talking may not own one.
Don't laugh at your neighbor when
his pipes burst You may be pouring
hot water down your own sink drain
before morning.
Don't curse your coal-dealer because
he wears smile these days. He will
have to pay full price for ice next sum-
fRer.
Don't get hot under the collar at
things in general. Colds are easily con-
tracted when the perspiration leaves
you.

THE MEDDLER.
"B he coat ms put IL on +"


The Meddler received last week. too
late for comment, a letter from "the
teachers of the Canal street building"
II was long epistle fairly well writ
ten and containing a good deal of care
| fully prepared sarcasm In reference to
a statement which appeared in this col
umn two weeks ago. II seems from the
letter that The Meddler committed a
grave mistake In assuming that the
Canal street teachers were so absolute
ly devoid of knowledge as to be obliged
to send outside to find out Rudyard
Kipling's age and birthplace. The
Meddler stated, he will admit. that
there was not reference book in the
school that gave this information. He
supposed this to be so because the
school children were asked to find 1t
out. and because one of them in her
search had access indirectly to The
Meddler's encyclopedia. He never
stopped to think that it might be sim
ply scheme to keep the children busy
outside of school buh that is what 1t
was. The scripture hath it that there's
a time for embracing and time to re-
frain from embracing" (Ecclesiastes

knowledge when youngsters are kept
up late in the evening. inquiring of
their neighbors for facts that can be
learned in school.
If the Brattleboro Athletic associa-
ton can attain the object for which IL
has been organized, namely, the aboli-
ton of the spirit of professionalism
from all local athletics, it will have ac-
complished most worthy ambition.
Indulgence in sport solely for the good
that is received therefrom cannot help
to promote spirit OF honest rivalry
that is often lacking in professional
contests of the present day. No one
who pursues athletics solely for the
money there is in them can reach the
high plane of the man who plays the
game" out Of pure enjoyment, doing
his utmost TO win and contenting him
self with the honor that lies in any
well earned victory. Just how sharply
the local association will draw the lines
in regard to the amateur standing OF
individuals is not yet known, but il it
can succeed in keeping all its contests
on a strict love of-s sport" basis the
result will have been well worth striv-
ing for.

GREAT VICTORY

POlygamy Resolution.
THE MAJORITY WAS DECISIVE
EX-SENATOR HEITFELD NoMIN-
ATED FOR GOVERNOR.

1 EWISTON, Ida, Aug, 1.-THE Idaho
Democratic convention is over. It
was a most Interesting meeting.
The debates, especially those upon the
anti-polygamy resolutions, were at all
times lively, sometimes acrimonious,
but adjournment found the delegates all
shouting for the ticket and platform,
and all prepared to work as hard as
they can for success at the polls. An
Interesting feature, 10 Utah people,
was the nomination tonight Of F II.
Holzheimer, formerly of Utah. for con-
gTess- Mr.. Hoizheimer has only been
resident of Idaho for about three
years He was a member of the Utah
legislature Of 1899 from Juab county.
At present he is practicing law at PO-
eateilO. Mr. Holzheimer was prominent
throughout the convention and he de-
Tended the Mormon people. though ad-
hitting he had suffered some from
church interference in politics.
W hen the convention had adopted the
antI-pOlygamy resolution, Mr.. HoIz-
heimer announced that he was still a
Democrat, that he would do his best to
elect the ticket and that as a good
Democrat he felt il his duty to bow to

mentS made an instant hit with the

From a source close TO Senator Du-
bois Il was learned tonight that he dep
recated the idea that he was individ-
ually responsible for the adoption of
the anti-pOlygamy plank
1t is asserted that a considerable ma
