The failure of the Idaho I'M
provement Company to secure
their coveted franchise on the
North Fork is a splendid check to
all grating schemes looking toward
the getting control Of public utili-
ties for the purpose of bleeding a
helpless community. We need
not be surprised if the failure of
this plan will be followed by Others
more cunningly devised and hid
den vet looking toward the same
unrightous end. Our eyes must
be kept wide open lest we may be
caught unawares by some deep
laid plan. 1t makes no difference
who these men are or what name
they bear, they deserve the fate
which their scheme has met and
We had almost said the contempt
of their fellows, though it is presu-
mable that they are much more
respectable than their scheme.
The State land board and Engineer
Darlington deserve the lasting
gratitude of all who are interested
in the development OF the lumber
industry of Idaho along legitimate
lines and the state administration
has certainly made itself stronger
in the eyes of the people than pre-
viously. May all similar gtafting
schemes meet with like fate.

A Great pishrau Farm.

A novel enterprise, that of raising
dishrags, is being exploited by num-
ber of southern California horticulture
lists, who received the inspiration for
the scheme from Charles Richardson,
whose gardens in Pasadena are be-
coming famous for their remarkable
productions. Mr.. Richardson has sue
cessfully raised many growths new to
American soil, and this year Is ex-
ceeding all his previous triumphs by
raising thousands of dishrags. Last
year Mr.. Richardson's string beans.
which measures forty-three inches in
length, created a stir, but dishrag
vines, which, with their pendant dish
rags, twine about orange trees, palms,
evergreens and peach trees, and peek
in at the second-story windows, bid
fair to win the championship from
the beans. These dishrags, or vege-
table sponges, as they are sometimes
called, are indigenous to Africa; but
now that it has been demonstrated
that they will thrive in this country
they are bound to become a popular
production. The seeds look Ike
cucumber, but when ripe the shell is
broken and a sponge disclosed.-New
York Tribune.

TaHeta Costumes for the House.

These are certainly quite as appro-
pirate, II not more so, for afternoon
and reception wear, but they are be-
coming and are perfectly suitable for
the house. Taffeta this year has
proved one of the most fashionable
OF materials. II is now manufactured
in such way that ii is soft and pill
able, has luster IL so desired. and has
also rather a dull finish. 1t looks well
plated and gathered. and also shows
to advantage II plain. Consequently
II is likely TO remain a leading favor
ito for some time to come.
A most charming and attractive
gown made of pale rose pink taffeta
is Included in the trousseau of one of
the autumn brides. The skirt is
most elaborate creation with no less
than seven bias nounces, or, rather.
rufiles. at the back. II has the same
number in front, only they are much
narrower and put closer together.
above these rufiles is band of lace
insertion. The upper part oil the skirt
is entirely of lace. with the exception
of narrow shirred yoke.

Dainty ssnarnte Walsfs.

The separate waist Is spoken Of as
a possibility for the coming winter,
aud many indications point TO such a
decree OF fashion.
Some charming models recently i'm
ported from Paris suggest that a gen
eral movement in favor Of the con
venient little garment is already on
foot.
A special favorite would seem to be
white taffeta. Not the stiff, unplastic
taffeta of few seasons ago, but the
soft. flexible goods which now goes
by that name.
Daintiness is prime requisite Of
the fancy separate waists, and the
French models mentioned are delight
full examples OF what such a blouse
may be.
They are elaborately tucked and
plated, with trimming OF appliques Ct
Venetian lace and Irish point, bro
derie anglaise and Irish crochet.
The French are combining these
blouses with a skirt of white surah.
The result is a practical little cos
tune which can be varied from even
ing to evening by a wearer of eco
nomical tendencies.
White taffeta skirts are also obtain.
ing a wide popularity just now in
Paris. They take the place filled by
the white cloth skirt in winter.

A Romance Of the Danish Conc

right In declaring the Danish King to
be ono OF the guests OF your bounty?"
"Rumor, which is the mother Of lies.

stranger. The King whom a chasten-
ing Providence has set over the north
ern half of the Island. has been our
guest for the space of four weeks
together with the goid.bought English
woman who is known as his Danish
wife, II you have eagerness for a

The November sunlight that, unsoft-
eDed by any filter of rich-tinted glass,
fell coldly upon the worn stone.
showed the carrels beneath the win
dows to be one and all deserted by
their monkish occupants, and he
strode along unhampered by curious
eye or ear.
After all this luck" he congratu-
leted himself, 'it will go hard with me
If | do not either stumble on the
youngling himself, or someone who
can give me news OF him"
He had no more than thought 1t,
when the sound reached him of a door
closing somewhere along the next side
of the square, followed by the clanK
o. spur ed feet coming heavily toward
him. AS they drew nearer. the rattle
of sword also became audible. Lift
ing his eyebrows obviously, the Ethel
ing grasped his own weapon beneath
his cloak.
When the feet had brought their
owner around the corner into sight, he
did not feel that this motion had been
mistaken one, for the man who was
advancing was Rothgar Lodbroksson.
Sebert stared in amazement when the
Dane, instead of flashing out his blade,
stopped short with u burst OF jeering
laughter.

His musings came TO an end. as the
man preceding him stopped suddenly
where one of the milky panes broken
from the cloister window gave view
of the cloister garden. With the cold
November sunshine a hum of voices
was coming in, now frightened by
peals OF laughter, again blurred by the
thud of falling quoits. over the Jo-
tun's shoulder. he caught a glimpse
of gorgeous mobiles and far-haired
women scattered in graceful groups
about a sunny old garden, green in
the very face of winter. thanks to the
protecting shelter of the gray walls.
In moment, they stood just out Of

fell through the open doorway.
Framed in carved stone, the quaint old
garden with its graveled paths, its
weedless turfs and its background OF
ivy-hung walls, lay before them like
