hair could look pretty sometimes, and
he wondered why the editors singing
made Cynthia cry. and at the same
time he decided 10 be mighty good to
Bud henceforth. The spell Of night and
song was on him; that and something
more, for 1t Is strange, inexpllcable
fact that the most practical chief ever
known to the Herald had singularly
sentimental influence over her subordi-
mates from the moment Of her arrival.
Under Harkless' domination there had
been no more steadfast bachelors In
Carlow than Ross Schof1eld and Caleb
Parker. and. like timorous youths in a
graveyard. daring and mocking the
ghosts In order to assuage their own
fears, they had so gibed and jeered at
the married state that there was talk
Of urging the minister to preach at
them, but now let it be recorded that at
the moment Caleb laid his hand on
Buds other shoulder his associate, Mr..
Schof1eld, was enjoying walk in the
far end Of town with widow, and 1t is
not to be doubted that Mr.. Tipworthy' g
heart also was no longer in his posses
sion. though, as 1t was after 8 o'clock,
the damsel Of his desire had probably
long since retired to her couch.
For faint light on the cause of
these spells we must turn to COM
ment made by the invaluable Mr.. Mar
tin some time afterward. Referring to
the lady to whose voice he was now
listening in silence, which shows how
great the enthralling Of her voice was,
he said. when you saw her or heard
her or managed to be around anywhere
she was, why, if you couldn't git up no
hope Of marryin' her you wanted to
marry somebody" .
Mr.. Lige Willetts, riding idly by,
drew rein in front of the lighted win
dows and listened with the others.
Presently he leaned from his horse
and whispered to a man near him, "I
know that song"
"Do your whispered the other.

"Tt's seraphic song he said," con-
tinued Lige.
"Nor exclaimed his friend. Then,
shaking his head, he sighed, "Well, it's
mighty sweet"
The song was suddenly woven into
laughter in the unseen chamber, and
the lights in the windows went out,
and small lady and tall lady and a
thin old man, all three laughing and
talking happily, came down and drove
off in the Briscoe blackboard. William
Todd took his courage between his
teeth and, the song ringing In bis ears,
made desperate resolve to call upon
Miss Bardlock that evening in spite Of
its being a week day, and Caleb Parker
gently and stammeringly asked Gym

the shop and let him walk home with

Soon the square was quiet as before,

THE cossAcKs.
! Favorite Camp Story Through
Which Generals Arc Criticised.

A Favorite Camp Story Through
Which Generals Are Criticised.
Unlike other Russian soldiers. the
Cossacks are very intelligent in mill
tary matters and do not hesitate to
criticise their generals freely among
themselves. They have bitter tongues
and a genius for satire. There is IA
vorite story which has been told in
Cossack camps for generations. It is
handed down from father to son. the
names being changed to fit the military
commanders Of the day. Freely trans
lated, 1t runs something like this:
The war god of Russia was asleep
in heaven one day when he was awak-
ened by the confused clamor Of two
hosts in battle on the earth beneath.
He shouted to the Angle Gabriel:
Look out and see what my Cos
sacks are doing"
"They are fighting the Turks, and
Prince Potemgin is leading them"
"Ah, that's all right" said the war
god. He's a good man."
So the deity went to sleep again. only
to be awakened by another turmoil.
Whats that" he asked sleepily.
"They are fighting the Turks again
under Suwarow."
Hes a fine fellow. They'll do all
right"
And so the story goes on intermina-
bly, around the campfire, each man
adding the name of his favorite COM
mander until at last one Of them
makes the Angel Gabriel mention the
name Of some general who happens to
be regarded by the Cossacks as duf-
fer. Then the next man makes the
war god reply in accents Of great
alarm:
"Oh, my beloved Cossacks! They
must be perishing under that man! It
is time I interfered. Hasten, Gabriel,
and bring me my long boots, for
must go down at once and save them"

RARE COURAGE.
Shown BY Russia Soldiers, Who Be-
Iieve In Self. Sacrifice.

Shown by RUSSIA SotoIoToJ "ho oo-
Iieve In Self. Sacrifice.
There Is a monument in Turkestan
to several Russian soldiers captured by
the Turcomans in 1879. They were
artillerymen. and their guns were cap
tured with them: SO the Turcomans
naturally ordered them, on penalty OF
death, to serve those guns against their
own comrades. Every man refused,
choosing death by horrible torture and
dying without q murmur.
This passion for self-sacril-e is the
keynote Of the Russian character, and
Is cultivated in the army by every
possible means. The recruit Is invar-
iably told the story Of that heroic
company of infantrymen in the Lo-
maxim expedition into Turkestan' who'
at a critical moment, threw themselves
into a deep ditch in order that the
guns which were sorely needed at the
front might be galloped over their
bodies. It is doubtful whether this
could have happened in any army but
the Russian.
II there is one thing in which the
Russian army excels it is marching,
Lord Roberts's famous march to Can
dahar has been equaled over and over
again by the cars troops In their
Central Asia campaigns. When Gen.
eral Kouropatkin marched a force OF
Turkestan troops to join Skobelen IN
the attack on Cock Tepe, he and his
men were swallowed UP IN an un-
known, trackless desert for twenty
six days, yet they covered over forty
miles a day and marched in at the end
Of the time in perfect military oroer
without a single man sick or fallen out.
It was a wonderful feat. but II was
not regarded in Russian military cir
cles as being anything extraordinary.
A former captain Of the Russian
army told Of a friend of his who lived
for years in a small town, and was tnen
ordered away to st. Petersburg. In
less than six months he received 2
command to return, and promptly Die"
his brains out.
Nobody was surprised" said my
friend. 1--WE all know what lie IN
such places is like. A man can be
happy in Siberia on a lonely outpost
where he has no companion OF his
own rank within 100 miles, but there
Is no happiness possible In a small
Russian garrison town for man OF
average intelligence. WORK.

Back From the East.

G. B. Knorr and Mrs. B. D.
Knorr and sister returned Sunday
from two months visit in the
east and the St. Louis fair. They
visited in Illinois and Missouri and
while they saw many things Of
interest and many beautiful homes
Mr.. Knorr says there is no place
like Camas Prairie for man with
limited means.
Mr.. Knorr was in Illinois during
the election and the county in
which he was visiting, like Idaho
county, went republican for the
first time in over 20 years. The
result there he says was largely
caused by the stay-at-home vote
as in the precinct where he was al
that time only little over half ol
the usual vote was cast, the more
radical wing OF the democrats re.
fusing to vote for Parker.

personal inspection. The party
returned late Tuesday evening and

Mr.. Clark did not care to make
any statement regarding the mine
further than he had looked it over
and found some very good ore.
Mr.. Clark's large mining inter-

every mining district in the west,
yet this was his first visit to Idaho
county. He expressed himself az

OUR. PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Number Of Teachers Employed and
Pupils Enrolled.
THR EXPENSE OF MAINTENANCE
Seventy Four Districts With
Sixty Seven School
Houses.

The magnitude Of the public
school system of Idaho county and
the vast sum of money annually
expended in it's maintenance is q
matter which is given little thought
by the average citizen and one
with which few are familiar. At
the present time there are "a dis
tricts in the county and all but
seven have school houses. During
the past year 1O3 teachers have
been employed at an average
monthly salary of S49.49 for an
average of six months.
The number of children in the
county between the ages of 5 and
81 years is 1867, of which 27OO
have at some time d uring the year
attended school. The cost per
pupil for maintaining the schools
is S13 40, and the total amount
expended during the year is $44-
OSS.37, including repairs on build
ings. rents, furniture, and interest
on bonds. OF this amount about
half is raised by the regular county
tax and the remainder by special
tax, t a t Q apportionment and
licenses. The receipts from all
sources during the past year have
exceeded the expenditures S355O.76
and there is now on hand S21,661-
90. A number of districts have
bonded to build school houses and
the total bonded Indebtedness is
$50, 1903. To offset this the several
districts have property estimated
at a value of about $50, 900.
1t can be readily seen that the
school is one of our most expen-
sive branches of government, yet
the results are we'll worth the price
and every good citizen would pre-
fer to economize in some other line
than to impair the efficiency OF our
public institutions of learning.
