Prospectors' Guide.

The Tribune has published and
now has ready for distribution
several hundred copies of the
Idaho MineIs' Code. The code
was most carefully compiled for
the Tribune by the well known
law firm of Bender & Lingen-
felter, which fact alone should be
a sufficient guarantee of its worth
and reliability to those engaged
in the business Of locating, hold
ing and transferring mining
claims in the state of Idaho.
The Idaho Miners Code is the
most comprehensive handy ref
erence that has ever before been
offered to the prospectors of the
state. 1t is well printed on good
paper and substantially bound; is
compact in form and can be cas-
lily carried in ones pocket; is al
phabetically indexed, and its Ian
guage is simple and easily COM
pretended.

SilkWorms in Ribbon.

Some ambitious silkworms of the
neighborhood OF Venice have woven
by themselves a ribbon three yards
long and three inches wide. When they
reached the chrysalis stage, instead OF
weaving round cocoons on the twigs
prepared for them, they preferred to
travel up and down the smooth side Of
a strip of wood nine feet long and
three inches wide. Back and fortl
they went, spinning their silken web
until at last they made a beautiful
ribbon, transparent in its center ana
golden yellow at the heavier edges.
The scarf is amazingly strong for a
fabric so delicately woven.

A Hot Wire.

''The Sites Elk City telephone
line is about the warmest thing
that ever happened, said a prom

Sites call is sent through by re-
lays, to Newsome, thence to
Harpster, thence to Sites. If no
one is within earshot of the bell
at Newsome (which, by the way,
is seldom the case) you must pa
tiently await your opportunity.
The same conditions obtain at
Harpster with the difference that
it appears to be seldom that any
one is within earshot of the bell
at that place. Only a day or two
ago we had every operator be-
tween Elk City and Harpster
ringing and ringing till it elected
a remonstrance even from the
Grangeville operator. However,
it beats nothing, | suppose. A
message can be gotten over it by
the exercise of patience and per-
severence, but l wouldn't be the
operator for a million a minute. !"

SUCH is FAME

A FARMERS wife in an isolated district of
n the black belt" being greatly stirred
up as to the possible effects upon the negroes
of another Republican triumph, thought she
would sound the feelings of her colored aids
by interviewing the cook. Accordingly, the
morning after the election, as she was in the
kitchen attending to her usual duties, she
began by saying to the cook, in casual
way:
well, Nancy, how do you like Roosevelt"
"Lor', Miss Mary" replied Nancy, looking
up with puzzled expression from the tray
in which she was kneading biscuit, " declar'
amt never eat any How you cook it"

1t. Geo. p. Brown" 1t was so blurred
that he was not even certain it was
Brown. The initials and the regiment
were plain enough, but possibly it was
not Brown after all. SO Brown betook
himself to the Army Register also.
Slowly and Systematically he went down
the hist OF names of over forty officers.
and there, almost at the foot of the list.
was the name of a newly appointed
lieutenant, George p. Binne
Hope and JOY returned to him. Brown
seized his cap and rushed out, almost
running over Billy Osborne
Il say, Billy" he blurted out edo YOU
know man named Binne? Is he in
camp?"
YES" said Billy He is in the sec
ond squadron, and a fine fellow. His
best girl sprained her ankle at the hop
and went home yesterday Binne is
heartbrollen, but II recover. I've
been prescribing for him at the club
What's the matter, old man? You look
too hard?"
mo, I'm all right | wish his girl
had swallowed him!" half shouted Brown
as he darted back into his quarters
Brown bOlted upstairs with Army
Register and note in hand, to find Marion
lying across the bed in flood of tears
He took her gently in his arms and said
in reassuring tones: My love, do you
see that name in the Army Register"
YES, she sobbed, as she watched the
page with swimming eyes, scarcely able
to read its contents
Nov Il 4 h,
girl who tripped and fell at the hop last
Wednesday night"
Yes" she said resignedly, as if she
wished that she herself had fallen and
ended all her miseries
Do you remember the young fellow
who showed SO much concern about the
accident?"
Yes, said she, as if unwilling to know
the truth
Well, darling, that was Lieutenant
George p. Binne, not Brown, and that
girl is Mary So let us once more be
happy, if you please!'
Her hysterical joy and immediate ac-
ceptance of the explanation, her con-
triton at her own lack of faith, soon
soothed his sense of outrage; and she
with her heightened color and shining
eyes, that he forgot all else in his pride
for wife who could so grace his home
Next morning, on his early ride to
camp Lieutenant Brown called at Lieu
tenant Binne's tent. and introducing
himself, inquired of Binne abruptly
DO you know girl named Nary
Binne, who was shy fellow, admitted,
after some hesitation, that he did
Well, hereafter make Mary address
her letters to you in ink" said Brown,
passing him the letter. "She came near
getting me divorced. l apologize for
opening it; but you see how it was"
The Browns kept mum about Mary;
but the story leaked out. Nobody knew
how Marion suspected Billy Osborne,
for he and Binne were friends, and not
long afterward when Billy met her he
addressed her 'Good-morning, Mary"
and soon the whole post called her Mary.
Six months later Billy sent the Browns
the following: Colonel and Mrs Archi-
bald Rogers announce the marriage of
their daughter Mary to Lieutenant
