Grafton, If ever. Or perhaps he would
gravely consider whether Hamlet was
really insane or was only trying to
fool the jury.
These were only a few of the intel
lectual stunts that the poor man did
for the benefit of his feminine au-
diences. but they will suffice to show
how the better halves live at the sum-
mer hotels when the intellectual
crank is in the ascendant. At first
our friend was general in his atten-
tions, and 1t was possible to arrange a
system of shifts in order to avoid
hurting his feelings and at the same
time prevent undue loss of life.
Finally, however, he settled on one
unfortunate specimen of the opposite
sex as the final recipient of his intel
lectual outpourings. We have no
record to the effect that the poor
thing was any more deserving of pun
ishment than any of her sisters, there
fore we must regard her condition as
merely another proof that destiny
plays no favorites. You are likely to
get not only what is coming to you.
but what is coming to other people,
too.
The man with the cerebellum had
come to the conclusion that this par
ticular bunch of white organdie was
about the right size and general quail
ity to adorn the top shelf of his car
diac closet. He assumed as a matter
aof course that she was dazzled by his
intellectual superiority and would
jump at the chance to sit in the
shadow of such a bulging brow all
the rest of her life. Accordingly he
proceeded to carry out plan of cam
paign that seemed to him likely to
reduce the enemy's works in a week
at the most. In the morning he read
poetry to her, interspersed with.

his own. 1t the afternoon he took
her walking and bombarded her with
extracts from books on Nature, with
a capital N. In the evening they
foregathered in the front Darlor with
Emerson and Ruskin and other au-
and nobody reads. The fact that the
young lady usually went to sleep
about the second round Of the ves-
per service would have hurt the mans
feelings If he had ever noticed 1t.
but q man who is so lost to a sense OF
decency as TO read Ruskin to any
woman under forty-flve Is not likely
to be very observant OF his surround
ings when he has once gone into his
trance.
The campaign appeared to be pro-
crossing favorably and the brainy guy
was just on the point of suggesting to
the young lady that they make an
arrangement to continue their. intel
lectual seances adown the stream Of
life together when she announced her
intention of contracting matrimony
with a scion of pIutocracy who had
pulled stroke oar in his senior year
and had a record of eighty-one for
the eighteen holes. The most intellec-
tual pursuit that the fortunate man
was known to engage in was a daily
study of the sporting page and
steady and intense mental application
to the menu cards of various swagger
restaurants But he could turn out
airy persifiage till the cows came
home and he was not likely to i'm
press any woman with a sense OF his
mental superiority.
Our tale is done, and so is the man
with the mind. He has resigned him
self to fate and a life of undi1uted
bachelorhood, sustained and upheld

will attempt to state in cold blood and
all in one day what a woman really
likes and why Is possessed OF a reck-
less courage worthy Of a better cause.
It's almost as much of task as try
ing to explain why a woman ever re-
conciles herself to the hard fate or IN
habiting the same terrestrial sphere
with man, and fully as important. In
pursuance of his theory that what
woman really admires In man Is his
brain our subject faithfully explained
the workings of his cerebellum on ev-
cry possible occasion. AS soon as he
had fairly established himself In the
most comfortable chair on the summer
hotel piazza and had settled the fate
of the weather for the next twenty
four hours, he would launch a few
choice extracts from the latest collec-
ton Of predigested thought that he had
been absorbing. It didn't make any
difference what 1t was; all was nsh
that came to his intellectual net.
Some days he was strong on Ger
man philosophy, and Schopenhauer and
Hegel had the floor. The next day 1T
might be Italian art and poor old
Michael A. Buonarrotti and the late L..
da Vinci would have all their manifold
shortcomings dragged out into the pitt
less light of day. 1t was a lucky
thing for them that they were never
acquainted with our brainy friend; If
they had known him the knowledge
of their own faults would have per-
manently discouraged them from ever
putting brush to canvas again. Just
to show the versatility of his brain
equipment he would probably turn his
attention to the field of fiction on the
day after he had disposed of the dagoes
and the Dutch. With MANY circum-
locutions and logical back somersaults
he would prove that there had been no
real novelists in existence for a gen.

representation when in our last
issue we said that ladies of the
Women's Relief Corps felt sighted

never said that . committee of
ladies called on Mr.. Gooding but
Captain James Woodward, acting
for the w. r. c., called on him
and expected to escort him to the
hall, but was turned down cold
without any excuse. When we
said they felt sighted we told the
truth az our information came di-
rect from Captain Woodward who
acted as the committee, and Mrs.

Sheep vs.. The Settler.

The Democratic party of Idaho
has taken strong grounds against
the aggression of the sheepmen
upon the homes of the settler. The
Republican party on the other hand
has joined issue on this subject
with the Democrats and are open
ly advocating the ravaging Of the
ranges near the homes Of the
settlers by rowing bands of sheep.
Every settler who owns q little
tract OF land on which he has built
q home for himself, his wife and
children, is interested in this ques-
ton. He is liable at any time to
have his little range plundered in
. night or day by sheepmen who
disregards his rights and trample
upon them without mercy.
Mr.. Gooding, the republican can
didate for governor, in his tour
over the state, now says that he is
in favor of the two mile limit law
and If elected will do all in his
power to enforce it.
The settler, however, is interest
ed in knowing just what the status
OF this law is under the present
ruling of the supreme court Of
Idaho.
Under the construction Of the
law by the Supreme court, sheep
men are allowed, without violating
the provisions of the present ''twt
mile limit law" to Craze in going
from one range to another, or wher
taking necessary rest while thu
going from one range to another
This will allow them to eat of
the range around the very doors o
the settler and there lie no help TO
it under the law as it is at present
OF course, Mr.. Gooding is il
favor of the two mile limit law
why should he be otherwise.
As it now stands, it is all tina
any sheep man could ask.
Democrats favor such amend
ment of the law as will furnis
protection to the settler against th
ravages Of the sheep.
II the present law is inadequate
q law will be enacted, il Democra,
are elected to the legislature, ths
will meet the case.

should, therefore, vote the demo-
cratic ticket.

Last week the Standard, in ac-
cordance with it's policy Of mis-
representation, stated in substance
that Probate Judge Taylor was
responsible for the absence Of Crsw-
ford Hoxie as q witness in the Bert
Rhoades trial. Such statement is
absolutely false.
Hoxie had preliminary exami-
nation before Judge Taylor where
in Hoxie was charged with being .
party to the Denver hold up. The
evidence was not sufficient and
Hoxie was discharged. He was
arrested again on the same charge
and brought before Judge Vineyard
and again discharged by Judge
Vineyard, because there was not
sufficient evidence to bind him
over and the evidence in the case
was practically the same.
Hoxie was never subpoened as q
witness and while Judge Taylor
was anxious to bind him over AZ Q
witness, upon consideration it wa
determined by the attorneys fol
the state and Judge Taylor that Il
was not authorized by law as tht
matter then stood. So as to Judg,
Taylor being in league with any
attorney it is ridiculously untrue
There is not more honest or con.
scientious man in Idaho than Judg'
Taylor. He has performed hi
official duties ably and honestly
and it is amusing to note the parti
san dishonesty Of the STANDARD
which prompts it to support J. E

SUBMARINE "SINKS"
THE GUNBOAI HIST

NEWPORT. r. l.. Aug. 1.-THE
United States gunbOat Hist was beaten
yesterday afternoon by the submarine
boat Shark in a sham attack off Bren-
toms Reef lightship under conditions
that favored the gunbOat.
The Shark. upon which a new perl
scope was being tried. dived near the
torpedo station. and after running two
miles submerged came 10 the surface
within ninety yards OF her target. which
it is considered could have been sunk
without those on board ever kno wing
what had struck them.
Lieut. Charles p. Nelson was in COM
mand Of the Shark. and with him were
Lieut. Lloyd Shepley and Lieut.. Paul b.
DUNCAN.
The Hist was commanded by Lieut..
Clarence England. Commander Frank
r. Fletcher, commandant OF the torpedo
station, was out IN the torpedo boat
WinslOw to observe the maneuver.
Lieutenant England and his crew were
observing on the Hist but they failed
to locate the enemy until she came up
well within striking distance.

and the best mudders won. Detroit took
the lead at the three-furlong pole, and
while the Senators closed part OF the
gap at the fve-furlong mark, the Tigers
again applied the whip. at the three
quarters. and romped away, splashing
mud In the tailenders' face.
Won Under Wraps.
From then on Detroit came home IN
der wraps an easy winner. Jake Stahl
was set down three times by The judges
for loose work. Twice he failed to
snatch opportunities and was benched
for bad driving. This bad drive OF Jake's
came when two We're on the sacks. The
collegian, in an attempt TO catch run
ner at the plate, drove the ball ball over
Bin Clarke's roof, and two Tigers tagged
the disk.
Jack Townsend did the twirling for
the Senators. and delivered the real ar
ticle, but Senator Stahl did the goat act
on three occasions, butting in with mis-
plays. Even had Jake played the game
well as he usually does, Townsend
would have lost his game. as Tiger Null
lin took kindly TO the wet ball, and made
monkeys Of the Senators, giving them
four measly hits. Only two OF these
came in a bundle. Jack Townsend fooled
the public by swatting out a deuce, and
Jake Stahl in a measure atOned for his
WOODY fielding by poking out single
and scoring the Delaware Peach.
