Convincing Argument.

During the hearing Of the McCiis-
ter-Moo e lawsuit last Thursday Attor-
ney A. H. Oversmith demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the audience that he
knows something about the practical
application Of law, and also that he is
something Of a lawyer. At least he
has left that impression with those who
heard him handle the case for his
client. The whole case hinged over
the possession of a certain stove and
the question of whether or not McClis-
ter had not given the stove away was
raised. Attorney Wiswell, for the
plaintiff argued that to constitute gift
the matter be in writing. Oversmith
offered little argument but left the
court room long enough to go across
the street where he purchased a few
cigars and then walked leisurely back
to offer his argument to the court.
With no sign of design he invited his
opponent to enjoy smoke while he,
(Oversmith) had the floor, and with a
smile, Mr.. Wiswell reached out, took
cigar, and then settled back in his
chair for little solid comfort while
Oversmith told the court what he knew
about cook stoves. 1t didn't take
Oversmith long to come to the point.
And when he asked Mr.. Wiswell if he
didn't consider that he had been given
cigar the point was so clear and
forcable, and so we'll made, that
neither the audience, the court, nor
the prosecution had doubt regarding
that particular issue.
AS lawyer Mr.. Oversmith is max
ing a most excellent reputation for
himself, and although new man in
Latah county, is rapidly coming to the
front.

TEN YEARS OLD.

With this issue The Troy News
begins its eleventh year, and on this
birthday goes to its 500 subscribers
with no apology. Whether or not it is
up to public expectations we will leave
entirely with our readers. But by
comparison we know Of no other town
in the state of equal size that can show
a better local paper, either in appear
ance or contents. So far as its senti-
ments are concerned little attempt has
nor wilt be made to please. We have
run the paper to suit ourselves, and
this policy will be followed in the
future. We shall continue to be re-
publican in politics because we believe
in the principles Of that party, basing
our faith on a record OF fifty years.
We shall labor increasingly for the up
building of Troy and surrounding dis
trict, and with reasonable support will
continue to issue local paper ofwhich
you will not be ashamed. To those
not already subscribers we solicit sup
port, and to all now assisting us in a
financial way we extend our thanks.
We heartily appreciate the kind things
said about US, forgiving at the same
time the sins OF our enemies. And
lastly we hope to SO conduct ourselves
as the editor Of great country journal,
that we will merit and receive the un-
stinted damnation Of those whose con-
duct is detrimental to the public good.
Our only regret is that we haven't the
ability to make The Troy News hotter
than Hades that we might roast to a
beautiful brown those entitled to con-
sideration at our hands.

Slot Machines Seized.

Sheriff Doust, assisted by Deputy
Mcdonald, raided six saloons in Occur
d Alene last week and seized all the
slot machines found. A wagon load
Of nine Of the machines were confs-
Gated and delivered to Probate Judge
McCrea in Rathdrum, Saturday. The
saloons raided were the Occur d Alene
Inn, George Ford saloon, Whitehouse
saloon, Richelieu saloon, Club saloon
and Geo. Phifer's saloon. The saloons
had been notified that gambling must
stop, and the slot machines disappear
ed for few days; but they were brought
out again and were running merrily
once more. The sheriff was not mere
ly bluffing, however, and the machines
were promptly confscated. -Rathdrum

He Never Blame.@ = he Booze

He took bottle to bed,
Drank whiskey hot each night,
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But nevr could get tight;
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until he took bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full Of rheumatic,
His appetite was slack,
He had pains between his shoulders,
And chills ran down his back;
He suffered with isomnia,
AT night he couldn't snooz,
He said it was climate
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremors,
And he tackled rats and snakes;
First he had the fever
And then he had the shakes;
AT last he had a funeral,
And the mouners had the blues,
And the epitaph they carved for him wa:

A GOOD RECORD.

For the first time in the history Of
the state the work Of the state land
board has been brought up to date so
far as the state selection of lands is
concerned. Mr.. Munson says the
state can now tell at any time what
land is good and what is not. Yet
Munson, the "illiterate Swede,' is the
man who has been at the head Of this
work and whom the credit is due. Nor
is this all. AS state land commission
er, Mr.. Munson, the "Swede," whom
Col. Shaver suggested was qualified
for no better work than grubbing out
brush on the ranch, or janitor at the
National capitol, is making a record
for honesty and competency of which
any man might well be proud. Those
who have made the attempt have found
Mr.. Munson unswervingly intent upon
an honest and just enforcement OF the
law, and no amount of force or nattery,
ridicule, abuse, or even bribery, has
sufiiced to influence his public acts
Mr.. Munson is making a great record
even though he be an 'illiterate
Swede,' and has, when occasion re-
CURED, cut cord wood and grubbed
brush He is the right man in the
right place.

The Oregon grand jury has found
Senator Mitchell guilty as charged but
requested that leniency be shown. The
senator was fully aware of the crime he
committed and knew what would hap
pen if he were found out and yet the
judge is asked to be lenient with him
whereas if it had been a poor, ignorant
man on trial the same jury would no
doubt have been pleased to see him
get the limit and think it not enough
to fit his crime. Such a consistency!

It Is True That Many Housewife Throws Away What Could Be
 Used for Delicious Dishes.

One essential of a good housewife is that she know how 10 buy the best materials in market Another essen- tial is that she know how to take care of the food after it is taken home. A third essential is that she know how to cook the food. And one more i'm portant essential is that she can so manage as to use all the material she buys, wasting nothing.

FOR GARDENING WEAR.
Some Excellent Advice from a Woman of Experience Concerning Short
 Skirt and High Shoes.

Far be it from a mere man to give forth any opinion on what a woman should wear in her own garden. For himself he knows that looseness of clothing gives freedom for the joints and wide straw hat keeps the sun of his nose. He believes also that low shoes are an abomination. Just what will make a woman comfortable while doing gardening work and keep her wonanly and ornamental as well as use.al" is matter which he turns over to a woman, an authority on garden ing as well as on clothes, who advises in the Garden Magazine: "A loose shirtwaist with ample sleeves with close cuffs, collar high enough to pro- tect from sunburn, low enough to give perfect comfort Of course if a good rich coat of tan is coveted the sleeves may be turned up to the elbow and the collar discarded altogether A skirt of heavy dark cotton or wool as short as you like and buttoned or hooked securely all around comfort able waist band. High shoes of leather OA WitH loH, Hat Ietis anu broad toes. These are far more use ful, especially when planting, than a little heel and narrow toe, besides looking more suitable and feeling more comfortable.

These with a sun hat plainly ornamented comprise suitable and becoming gardening dress. Gloves for some kinds of work, like spading, raking. pruning; in fact, most of the work where tools are used, can be done

GERMANS FILLING COUNTRY
Settlers Find an Ideal Location tn the State of Virginia for
 Settlement.

Richmond, Va.-Lunenburg county, along the line of the Southern rail- way. is filling up with Germans from the north and west. The newcomers are buying farms and engaging in cat tie raising, poultrying, fruit growing, grape culture and similar pursuits. More than 40 families have moved in during the past year. and they appear to be happy and conterled. They are all making money. living economically, and seem delighted with the conditions down here.
 Three years ago a German came to Virginia from Minnesota He bought farm in Lunenburg county and be- gan to SOW grass and raise cattle for market. He paid $3.000 for the farm, and less than a month ago he was of fered SIP, ,000 for the farm. declining to sell at any price. He has made cattle raising pay, and pay handsomely.

The learned dissertations of all the professors and sages who tell us at this glad season how to be comfortable when the mercury is at 90 begin with the ancient Chaldean maxim. Don't worry" This caution, says the Balti- more Herald, was old in the days of Babylon's glory and knew the sharp stings of senile rheumatism when Ire land still had kings. And it was just as platitudinous in those happy times and just as innocuous and senseless and silly as it is In this year of grace 1905.

 Too Many Titles.

An American journalist returning after an absence of some years abroad comments upon the profuse application Of titles which is becoming frequent in this country. The practice is essential ly a modern one. Daniel Webster in his lifetime was never spoken of as Senator" Webster, but always as plain MT" Webster. Nowadays, however, 1t is invariably senator this and that and almost everybody has some kind of handle to his name. Thus we, have "Forecaster" Jones, "Underta.Ier" Smith, Conductor" Robinson, Super intendent of the Poeahouse" Brown, Common Councilman" Shucks and ''Selectmann Dumps, and so on. If this kind of fhing keeps on we shall end hy resting our claims to respect and consideration upon those painfully minute social distinctions which pre- vail in Germany. where men or women inscribe their names in hotel registers with the addition Of such descriptive phrases as cousin to an apotheeary' CT "brother-in-iaw to a corporal"
