1t was unwise to taunt him thus; but
Ermyntrude was careless whether or
not her question hurt. Had he under
stood woman's nature better, he
would not have shlrlled meeting her in
the earlier hours, and the incident of
the forbidden kilograms still ranked
in her mind She felt that she was
encompassed by the unknown, and in
her present highly strung state his
allusion to the broken-of marriage was
repugnant to her She realized with
the intuition of her sex that some sort
of bargain, of concession to expediency,
was to be proposed to her, and she
resolved bitterly to dispel such an idea,
if it existed, before the Russian
brought himself to offer it.
A French philosopher discovered that
when a Russian is scratched the Tartar
is revealed. Certainly the epigram was
justified in Prince Melnikof His color

strength in his voice as he replied:
Il am not one who permits his

traitors or avowed rebels You are in
no fitting mood to listen to me now.
Tomorrow, when l come to you with
news of Lord Valletort and your

curb an unruly tongue.

Most Fertile Cause Of Wzr.

A famous French political economist
drew up a statistical table some time
ago on this very question, and the
analysis showed that nine-tenths of
the worlds wars have grown out of
quarrels that arose directly from COM
mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty
ty-one were wars of succession of
Crown claims; thirty under the pre-
tense of helping allies; twenty-eight
were religious wars; twenty-four were
wars of retaliation; twenty-five were
for commercial rivalry; and eight on
points of honor.

Body Recovered.

The body of Dan Kingsley, the
man who went over Shoshone Falls
the Both of last month, was recov-
cred Tuesday afternoon about 20
feet below the trail on the south
side of the falls by freighter.
The body was found near a
whirlpool, with one arm thrown
over rock, where it had been
washed a short time before by the
current, and was badly bruised, the
arms and legs being broken and
the skull crushed.
Although there was some talk of
foul play at the time of Mr.. Kings
ley's disappearance, there are no
marks on the body that could not
have been caused by his going over
the falls.
A sister of Mr.. Kingsley living
in Spokane was Immediately noti-
fed of the finding of the body, and
was driven to Twin Falls at three
o'clock this morning.
The funeral was held in Twin
Falls this afternoon.

Exporters Losses Reimbursed.

Every year the refiners and ex-
porters of sugar in Frarce, Germany
and Austria lose vast sums by selling
to the British importers at less than
cost price The outlay necessary to
produce the sugar is greater than the
price received for it, and thus the los
ing trade goes on from yer to year.
The men engaged in the t'ade do not
lose, for the business on as present
basis would soon eat away their
great fortunes. They are reimbursed
for the amount of their. icgs and re-
ceive a large sum in az sen, to in
duce them to continue the losing bust
ness, the donation being contributed
by the taxpayers. The People think
that exporting is beneficial in Itself.

Yet all my loveliness is born
Upon a thorn.
The poppy saith amid the ..-f-t:
Let but my SCI flet hes |. appear
And l am held Ia scorn;
Yet juice Of subtle virtue lies
Within my cup of curfoaS dyes.
The lilies say: Behold how we
Preach without words. OF purity.
The violets whisper from the shade
Which their own leaves have made:
Men scent our fragrance. m the ain.
Yet take no heed
or humble lessons We would read
But not alone the fairest flowers:
The merest grass
Along the roadside where we pass.
Lichen and moss and sturdy weed.
Tell OF His love who sends the dew,
The rain and sunshine too
