THE LOVING CUP.

Its Origin Dates From the Assassima-
-tiOn of King Edward.
The remote origin of the loving cup
dates from the story OF the ;assassina-
ton Of Edward, king and martyr, who
was stabbed in the back while drink
ing. It had been usual at feasts to
pass round a large cup, which each, as
he rose to drink. lifted with both
hands. exposing his body to attack.
This custom was altered, SO that when
one stood up to drink he who sat next
became his pledge and also rose,
drawn sword in hand, to protect him.
This practice in a modified form con-
tinued long after changed conditions
Of society had ceased to need 1t and
was the origin of our custom OF drink
ing healtlis and particularly of the
ceremonial, preserye in almost it's
primitive form, Of passing round the
loving cup, when. as each person rises
and takes the cup In his hand to drink,
the guest next to him also rises and
grasps the second handle. ].
Some authorities ascribe. its. origin
to Margaret, consort OF Malcolm, king
Of Scotland, and others to Henry Of
Nayarre.-LOndOn Truth -.

Good-by, you darned old winter,
With your bowling storms and cold
There's many a grewsome story
Your records could unfold.
Stories of land and water,
OF dire distress and death
Disasters so appalling
One fairly holds their breath.
Good-by, you cruel winter,
With your snowdrifts mountain
high, vi
And tszero'' ever turning
On you his freezing eye.
With shiverings madly chasing
Our backbone all the while,
And never warmth attaining
Though garments on You pile.
Good.by, you darned old winter,
May your likes ne'er come again,
Such punishment infiicting
Upon the sons of men.
A Universalist am I; ....
Should you return though
I'd turn a wicked orthodox
Die-and in comfort dwell,
Die and go to-heaven.

Family Dissensions.

Dissension in families often arises
from lack of mutual consideration
among the members Of the family. The
'.soft answer that turneth away wrath
is forgotten for the hasty reply, the un-
kind retort. that kindle the fire Of Ill
feeling. Love does not linger in the
home where rudeness shows its unlove-
ly qualities. It chooses to dwell in the
home where the spirit of iinselfishness,
Of self controIs of thoughtfulness and
Of 4charitableness makes the atmos-
phere sweet. The woman who is quick
to take offense is not like her of whom
Holy Scripture says, Her ways are
ways OF pleasantness, and allster paths
are peace" Happy homes depend on
happy hearts, Home is distinctively a
woman,s sphere. and she who sweetens
it most makes earth nearer heaven.

planned that we could not do it as
our job stock had not yet arrived,
(they saw for themselves that we
had no paper in the office), and we
advised them to get the work done
at the Meadows Eagle office. We
understand that they, or one Of
them, afterwards stated to several
people that we did not want to do
the work. What their motive was
for misstating facts we do not know,
but we do know that such state
ment was false and unwarranted.
We are not here to turn work away,

Now that the elections are over.
there is one matter that ought to be
taken up for the sake of our fair
state. We refer to the charges
made by faction of one of the
political parties during the recent
campaign that considerable num-
Der Of the people of this state, the
Mormon people, were living in OPP
EN- defiance of the laws of the state,
and were practicing all sorts of
RIGHTEOUSNESS and committing other
most grave offences. A commission
should be appointed to sift this
matter to the bottom, once and
for all, and if the crimes alleged
exist, let the guilty ones be punish
ed as they deserve to be. We know
perfectly well that the charges were
not generally believed, the election
results prove that. Still there are
some good men and women in
Idaho who believe the charges are
true, add to this the fact that these
charges were spread broadcast all
over the country and see the i'm
mense amount of harm that has
been done the Gem of the Mount
aims. Let a commission be ap-
pointed to enquire into this matter,
1T is due to the people of the state.
Let the whole land know that we
have laws to safeguard the people
and that they are enforced, irres-
pective of who or what the offender
is. immigration will then set in
and advantage be taken of the
great opportunities here.

FROM THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

f. T. Beyers returned from
Roosevelt last Friday. He reports
that the Sunnyside mine has got
all It's machinery in over the new
road, which he states is very good
one for a mountain road. Among
the machinery was a complits 40
stamp mill, including two IS horse
power boilers. The Sunnyside has
about seventy men employed put
ting in machinery, and the new
road is lined with wagons and pack
trains carrying supplies in for the
various camps.
The Dewey is working a force of
about forty men, and the III. Y. has
about twenty hands employed. The
latter mine has a 15-stamp mill. at
the Transfer, on the new road, and
Will get 1T in next spring. There
is number of smaller properties
that are working forces of from six
TO elght men each, and the whole
camp appears very promising and
prosperous. The Bell telephone
line was completed to johnson creek
on Thursday last, and is now with
IN 70 miles of Roosevelt.
Mr.. Beyers saw Steve Choate, of
this place, who has contracted all
work on the Gold Bullion COM
pany's property. Among the con-
tracts is one for 400 feet of tunnel
on the southwest fork of Monumen-
tai creek, and go feet of tunnel on
the Rainbow mountain group.

THURSDAY, NOV. II, 1904.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.

Irrigation, more of it and
lots of it, is what is going to
bring this valley to its fullest de
velopment. There will be several
big towns scattered through the
valley, railroad will connect them.
telephones, telegraph, electric lights,
and all modern improvements and
conveniencies will be here. The
full richness of the valley will then
be known; it will be producing
crops that even the people who now
irrigate can hardly at this time be-
lieve possible. 1t will accomplish
wonders. The time to commence
work for this beneficial change is
right now, without delay. File on
sufficient water of the Payette lake
or river to water all the land in the
valley that lies below the source of
supply, and put big canal right
through the valley Let every
settlement take hold of this most
important matter for the good of
the valley, and formulate plans for
carrying it into effect Work to-
gether with the one grand object in
view for the good of all, and yon
willrealize twentyfold, yea fortyfold
on your labor.
This may appear a mighty big
proposition, and so it is, but it is
one that will give mighty big re-
suits. get together and consider it;
take into consideration the number
of people there is to handle it, and
the easy ground to carry canals
over, and the proposition is not so
very big after all.
1t will take years to accomplish
the task, as most of it would be
done in labor. But if the people
procrastinate they will lose the OBJ
portunity of obtaining water from
the Payette lake and river for ever.
That is what it means to them if
the Federal government decides to
take hold of the project for irri-
eating the arid lands of the Boise
and Payette valleys, and there is
no doubt whatever that the govern
ment will take hold of it.
1t is up to the people of Long
and Round valleys to decide wheth-
they will grasp the opportunity or
let it pass them by.

SPEED is REDUCED
Airships to Have 1t Easier at
ST. Louis Fair.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 8. The
worlds fair has announced the follow
ing changes in the rules governing the
airship contest:
The minimum speed required in the
race for the grand prize of 100000 is
18% miles an hour, instead of 20 miles
Formal entries will be received until
June l, instead of closing May 1.

COACH PIERCE BUSY
TRAINING BADGERS
Wisconsin Star Pitcher and
Captain Under Charges of
Professionalism.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April S.-Coach
''Bemis' Pierce, of the University of
Wisconsin baseball team, has picked
the nine that will, with perhaps a few
changes, represent the cardinal on the
Western intercollegiate diamond this
season. The greater part of the pitch
ing work will be performed by Capt.
Gordon Lewis, the clever baseball
player who is accused by Coach Utley,
of Michigan, and tacitly admitted here
at Madison, with having played pro-
fessionaI ball last summer The chief
other pitcher will be Edwin G. Young,
of Beaver Dam. There are other capa-
BILE twirlers in the squad of fifty or
more candidates, but Lewis and Young
are to be relied upon for the major
part of the work in the box. The
catchers viii be Leahy and Perry. At
first base Ex-Capt. Julian V. Ware
will play, although he has not appear
ed yet for practice and may miss some
of the early games of the schedule.
Eben r. Minahan, of Green Bay, a
member of the Wisconsin joint debate
team that recently defeated the Mich
igan team, VIII play second base. John
3. HOelz, of Burlington, Wis, is slated
to play shOrtstop. Jesse p. Brush, OF
Stewartville, Mimi, viii play third
base. The outfeld is more problemat-
zeal. The left field will be occupied
by Persons, who was next to Lewis in
the election Of the captaincy. Will
ROys, who went East and served with
credit as captain of the freshman team
of the Princeton university nine, will
play in right field, and Howard P. Saw
age, of Chicago, who shared the pro-
fessional charges with Capt. Lewis, is
scheduled to play center field. He is
also football player of ability.

rink left it altogether to wet to allow
of its being used for some time. The
work this week will be a trying-out
process and there will be a scrub game
every day. The teams will be divided
so that they may be as evenly matched
as possible, and for several days new
sets or men will be tried. The most
promising of these men will be punched
and by the time the series with the
winnipeg Northern leagUers is over the
makeup of the team will be settled.
The task before Coach Ferguson is
by no means an easy one, as there are
about seventy candidates, and for some
positions the competition will be very
close. Capt. Leach will undoubtedly
occupy the backstop position, at least
IN the bigger games, while his brother.
Helon Leach, and Stewart who was
substitute catcher for the academies
last year, are the leading men for sub
positions. Varco, who played on the
1901 and 1902 teams, Is sure Of a posi-
ton at ShOrtstop, as he is a good
fielder, a heavy hitter and a speedy
base runner. The other positions are
entirely In doubt, as the candidates are
nearly all untried, and will have to
prove their worth by good playing
during the next few weeks.
L1nde, who was last year with the
team at LuIher college, DEBORAH is
trying for third base. The competition
for first and second bases is much
stronger and the outf1eld positions have
large bunch of aspirants. The great
trouble seems to be with the position
of pitcher. There are a lot Of candf-
dates, but some Of them are, of course.
mediocre, and it will need a staff of
at least four reliable men to make it
safe.
Gleason and Wheaton, who pitched
for the academies last spring, are good
men, and Hammerill, one of the star
twirlers of 1901, is also good, while
Rogers, the football player, is a steady
but not brilliant pitcher. Another good
man is Bond, formerly Of Mechanic
Arts Of last years engineering team.
The most promising of the new men are
Shipper, a left-handed twirler from
Illinois; Monte Brown, of Morris, Mimi.
and Neyman, who was on the Winona
high school team. The pick will prob
ably be from among these men.

the fans may begin to figure out what
kind of a team the Gophers will have

Coach Ferguson intends to have the
team strong in all departments of the
game. Capt. Leach and Varco are hit
ting the ball hard and are beginning
to show good form, while the rest are
getting there slowly but surely.
The diamond this spring will prob
ably be layed out on the football field
instead of in the corner of the field, as
at first planned, since the flooding of
that portion Of the field for a hockey
