Washingtons birthday, yesterday,
the 22nd, was not observed to any
great extent in Challis. There was a
mask ball, and that was about all.
Following we present a few thoughts
upon Washington which may not be
amiss at this time
Thanks to the candor of modern his
torians, we can now see that Wash
ington was by no means demi-god
striding along on lofty mountain tops,
but humble, unassuming, ordinary
citizen, whose devotion to his cause
made up full often for the scampering,
runaway lighting that he was obliged
to resort TO. We see that few of the
startling victories of the Revolution
were gained by him. We also see tha,
his Fabian policy-here one day and
away the next, but scarcely ever ven-
turing on pitched battle-wore out
the enemy by ignominious founder
ings rather than by armed resistance.
His greatness was more in his noble
clinging to an endangered cause, in
the face of the. mutteriugs and dis
content of the many.

MUST SERVE TnEIa SENTENCES.

The Supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of Judge J. NJ. Stevens of
the Sixth Judicial district in the case
of the State of Idaho. respondent, VS..
Samuel L. Collett and Samuel Ireland
of Fremont county.
Collett and Ireland were convicted
of stealing horse from s. Il. Davis In
June, 1908, and each sentenced to serve
three years in the penitentiary. A
motion was made for new trial,
which was overruled by the court. from
which order the defendants appealed,
also appealing from the Judgment.
The opinion affirming the judgment
was written by Justice Stockslager and
concurred in by Chief Justice Sullivan.
Justice Ailshie. while concurring in
the aftirmance of the Judgment as to
defendant, Collett, expressed no opin-
ion as to the sutficiency of the evidence
to sustain the verdict and Judgment
against the defendent Ireland.
The syllabus of the opinion is as fol-
lows
IAN information that charges the
larceny of one horse is not repugnant
to section 1919 of the revised statutes
for want of sufficient description.
IAN instruction charging that the
possession of recently stolen property
is in law a strong eliminating circum-
stance tending to show guilt unless
the evidence and the facts and circum-
stances proved show that they may
have come honestly into possession of
the same. is not in error. neither is il
in conflict with charge that possess
ion OF stolen property recently after
the theft, if unexplained. is circum-
stance tending to show the guilt of the
possessor. Still, in this case, if the
jury believe from the evidence that the
defendants were placed in possession
of the property by others and were
honestly employed to deliver said
property into the possession of anoth-
er, and were at the time of their ar
rest openly and publicly carrying out
the condition of their employment
this is satisfactory account of the
possession of the animal in question.
"Where there is a substantial con
fiict in the evidence on the material is
sues involved, new trial will not be
granted.

1.-THE WORLD AND H..
[By t. Shelley Sutton.

by L. Shelley sutton.
The World and were lovers, once,
In Sin and Folly bound,
And thro' my boyhood's summer months
How many joys we found
loved to see her when she smiled
loved to share her JOY;
Tho she was old, her voice was mild,
And was but boy
trusted her, and dared to tread
Where'er she bade me go,
And tho her path thro' danger led
l was too young to know.
She tripped along, with careless feet,
And beckoned as she went,
Nor could my soul from Sin retreat
Till Youth and Love were spent.
She gave me wine and bade me drink,
She sang, and bade me play;
l was so young l did not think,
And SHE was old and gray,
But DER her face reposed mask
of beauty, strangely fair;
Perhaps l was too weak to ask
Perhaps l did not care,
And yet thought her young and pure
Alas, / did not know
But Youth was short and Fate was
sure,
And All II loved her so
Her heart grew cold, her cheeks grew
pale,
Her hair grew thin and white,
l saw her beauty fade and fail,
And shared with her the blight.
The SIRENS mask was laid aside,
The blush of wine was gone,
The echoes of the song had died,
And Love was pale and wan.
The harp we played together, lay
Forgotten on the green
The World went laughing on her way
And left a gulf between
saw her oft, in after years
met her. day by day:
But had shed my worthless tears,
And SHE, again, was gay;
And others kneeled beside the shrine
Where | my homage paid,
And others quaffed the giddy wine
And on the harp-strings played.
But had been her lover, true,
Aud so l knew their lot
knew the goal she led them to,
knew the end she sought,
l knew the nameless dead that lay
Unclaimed beside her road.
| knew the price that each must pay
knew their last abode.
knew the mock'ry of her smile,
The coldness of her heart;
knew the meaning of her guile,
The bane it must impart.
And so l paused, in my weary age,
To rest beside the way,
And gave my place upon the stage,
And turned-Io see the play.
And still l sit, alone, apart
From all that once was dear
A hopeless pilgrim, sad of heart,
With naught but Death to cheer;
And still the world, with painted
cheek,
Maintains her wanton ROLE
| The song is light, the moral weak,
And cruel is her soul;
But lovers come and lovers go,
And curtains rise and fall,
The wines of madness ebb and flow,
And Sorrow claims them all.
But one by one they weep,
For one by one their love has died,
And one by one they sleep

Finally, however. his labor was not
in vain. The az ony of his soul was re-
garded and the Constitutional Conven-
ton became fact 20 materialize his
faith that this nation was not to be-
come the laughing stock of the govern
ment from which il had broken away.
For four manths Washington presided
over the convention, watching every
move and influencing every act. His
labor was ineessant-presiding every
day from four to seven hours, and
working between whiles to shape the
thought or purpose of those who were
there with him. Had the nation been
flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone,
his feelings could not have been more
paternal toward it.
The Declaration of Independence
was a thrilling summons to life. 1t
was the beginning of things and not a
fnality. Its Constitution was the
Instrument needed to give the new life
possible perpetuity. The Declara-
tion could not even stand the strain
of its own success. The onstitution
has withstood the expansion and
change and readjustment of century
and is still virile. "Father" Washing
ton is the one above all others to credit
for this great lasting nation.
The wid'ning river towards the sea
Resistless runs, still swelling con-
stantly,
Does not derive its force and fullest
flow
From any sudden sweep of storm or
snow;
But draws its certain strength from
constant wells,
Cradled on stainless heights where
stiffness dwells.
So doth Columbia's ever-swelling tide
of lusty life and freedom, spreading
vice,
Take inspiration from that noble force,
George Washington, shape its steady
course
From him whose tireless soul stood
And planned and fought only that war
might cease.
Let US then rightly Judge our great
ideal,
And love his tender thought for public
veal;
Leaving the mighty warrior to inspire
Only when threatened hearts our spir'
its FIRE;
Mindful that floods, though they may
purify,
Leave in their wasting train darh
dregs of misery.

IL delights people to speak of Wash
ington as the Father of His Country.
The title is merely fanciful unless we
limit the period of bis life TO which
the term is applied. His impulsive
youth certainly did not entitle him to
it. His farming career merely ranked
him high as an agriculturist His
generalship placed him among the
greatest of the great warriors of the
world. But in none of these was faith
erhood. The period when such term
of affection applied to him with its
fullest, deepest meaning was from
1888 to 1889, when no war was being
waged. The war had ended and with
infinite relief the gray-haired, enfeebl-
ed man allowed his narrowing respon-
sibilities to slip from his shoulders.
Others were like him-only too glad to
rest back with sigh of comfort as
though the thing sought had been
found and the thing desired had come
to pass.

Washington was the first to wake up
to the clear understanding that the
Revolution had failed W cement the
thirteen colonies into oneness of aim
and of governmental theory. We find
in no other correspondence of that
time any such breadth of vision or
depth of feeling as were in the letters
of Washington. Constantly, in all di-
rections, he was sending out to others
his seed-thoughts of what ought TO
be-endeavoring to arouse them and
finally succeeding. He saw that the
eight years of travil had resulted in
scarcely the feeblest sign of national
life. His soul became wrapped mp in
the absorbing purpose of nurturing
that feeble life into strength. Then
was he Father" At times be became
absolutely Respondent over the serious
condition of affairs. as when he ex-
claimed, 1T is well that Greene lGen-
eral Greene) is dead, so that he should
