WHAT DREAMS

Copyright, 1904, by T. c. McClure.l
All day long the heavy leaden clouds
had been threatening rain, and toward
evening it began very softly at first
but growing steadily in volume, until at
o'clock it was a workable downpour
rafting steadily on the tin roof of the
hotel piazza and beating against the
windows in spiteful fashion.
1t was cold, too, and a cheerful fire
cracked and sputtered sturdily in the
big fireplace in the hotel Office, but de.
spite the fire and the lights and the gay
chatter of the guests congregated in
the big palm lined room the effect of
the storm outside was glaringly evil
dent. A cold, rainy evening at a popu-
lar summer hotel is something to be re-
membered-and avoided.
Near the fireplace at score of little
tables the energetic Mrs. Potter had
started a game OF progressive euchre
ana IN the big hall the orchestra had
been pressed into unwilling service by
some OF the younger guests, ana the
strains OF the latest popular waltzes

drawing of part of the tapestry came
into the hands Of learned antigua
rian, who tried without success to find
the original. The Pere Montfaucon
also tried to find it and at last succeed

The church had no power to protect
such a treasure in 1924, and the ancient
length of linen with its quaint en-
broidery was dragged out of the ca
thedral and used to cover one of the
military wagons belonging to the local
battalion. Nj. lie Forester rushed to
its rescue and substituted a canvas to
cover the wagon and brought the tap
estry to his study till he was relieved
from his self appointed mission by

ton of the work of art. Now the tap
estry has been restored and may be

1t cannot be doubted that this is
the initial move in a general plan of
aggression by the hierarchs upon onr
northern neighbour. The Mormon
tactics, deceptive an INSCRIPTIONS,
defeated legislation for purity and
the homogeneous home, at the late
session of the legislature. They
will continue to work the state adj
ministration and control its legisla-
ton in their own interest, and defeat
the enforcement of such laws as they
object to, until the patriotic Ameri-
cans of that state will rise in their
might and deprive the aw-defiers of
all power to disgrace the state and be-
devil its institutions. ="

Those who attend the opera house
on May 20 when the famous Williams
Opera company will open 8 nights
engagement, will, according to all
press reports, be treated to not only
one of the rarest novelties but also
one of the best attractions seen in
the opera house this season. The
company is composed of some thirty
little tots ranging in age from to IL
years who sing, dance and act in such
a wey as would do great credit to
most companies triple their age and
experience. The little people are in
the professional class and still, being
children, must and do meet the task.

Of the company, 'The little artists
of the Williams Opera company are
truly wonderful. 1t is impossible to
believe that children of their age can
give such an interesting and perfect
performance. " They open with

The news gatherers announce the
purchase of the Pocatello Advance by
Bishop Bulge, of the Mormon church.
1t is said Mr.. Broxon. the owner, who
for year past has conducted the
paper in the interest of the political
reign of the Mormon hierarchy in
Idaho, received So, 600 for the paper,
which is 4-page tri-weekly, and that
it will be changed into a morning

den counties of southeastern Idaho
for the purpose of quieting the revolt
in the Mormon church itself against
the law breaking, defiant and grasp
ing policy now swaying the heads of
the church. Under the head of
"Hierarchic Aggression in Idaho"
the Salt Lake Tribune thus refers to
the newspaper deal:

HINDoo CREMATION.
The Funeral Pyre and the Rites Be-
fore the Burning.


Toward the upper end Of the CHATS
is the burning ground. There are no
steps here, but a slope of beaten dirt.
Stop half an hour and you may see
every step Of the cremation rites. Sit
ting on stone ramparts above, to the
right and left, are friends and relatives
of the dead ones. The figure to the
right, huddled up in bright green
wrap, is of the lowest caste of Hindoo
and keeps the mat shed near by, where
the sacred fire for igniting every corpse
is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries
of "Raml Ramanar and, behold,
burial procession is coming down the
slope. Four men carry the corpse
slung between two bamboo poles and
cry to the god Ram. He is the personi-
ication of filial love, and thus it is
meet that they should call him to wit
ness. They swing down to the river
and immense the corpse. 1t is wrap
ped in white shroud stained with red
blotches. Then they lift the head
slightly out of the water and remove
the shroud from the face, splashing
water five times upon the mouth.
Others In the meantime are building a
wooden pyre, made of fagots sold
near by and when finished standing
three feet or more above ground The
corpse, its dark color showing through
the dripping shroud, is then placed on
the wooden altar and covered with
fagots. This done, all but two mount
the ramparts and watch the final cere-
mony. OF the two remaining, one
pours oil upon the wood from small
clay dish, while the other goes to the
fire house above. He soon returns with
a long straw wisp, blazing at one end.
He advances to the corpse's head,
touches 1t with the wisp and then cir
Giles the pyre five times; touching the
head each time until the fifth, when
he places the blazing wisp beneath the
feet, and the whole pile bursts into
fame. When oil is consumed the ashes
are raked into the river and float away
to bliss eternal-F. ]. o. Alsop in Out

CONGRESSMAN FRENCH
From the Caldwell Tribune:

From the Caldwell Tribune:
1t does not require any great insight
to perceive that there are a good many
patriots in Idaho who believe that Idaho
never can take her rightful place among
the great commonwealth until each
and all OF we patriots have been made
congressman. Cherishing that belief,
they cannot help but feel under obliga-
ton to, directly or indirectly, publicly
or privately, do what in them lies to
deprecate Congressman French. Just
now the vogue among we patriots is to
damn Mr.. French with faint praise, as:
He is a nice young man, but so
young" He means well, but Of
course boy cannot accomplish much, !"
And all the time these patriots, who
are condemning Mr.. French's youthful,
ness are yelling give the young man a
chance" Readers OF The Tribune
shonld know that Mr.. French has made
a very creditable record as representa-
tive in congress. He has probably
done as much as any man, except some
miracle Of craftsmanship could do.
That he has not accomplished more is
not his fault. He represents state
that has one vote out OF four or FIVE
hundred. In congress, as elsewhere,
1t is votes that count. Give Mr..
French 20 votes and in 20 minutes he
would become great and influential.
AS ter of fact Mr.. French stands
well in congress. His only weakness
is the weakness of his saate. 1t is
contemplate to charge inefficiency to
Mr.. French when population is to blame.
And it is contemplate in We patriots 10
seek to build themselves up by tearing
down someone else. Mr.. French has
shown himself to be a clear, capable
man. He is entitled to great credit,
and if he is never reelected to con-
gress, he should be permitted to retire
with the knowledge that he retains the
respect and admiration of the people CT

The Wallace Press of last week says:
THE Bunker Hill & Sullivan Min
ing and Concentrating Company at
Wardner this week paid dividend No.
96, OF $150,000. Since January Of
this year it has paid in dividends 3d.
$4,000. The total dividends OF the
mine to date are $4,8o6, 000."
Yet these great wealth producers
pay practically nothing in the way OF
taxes as compared with the assess
ment levied against the farmers OF this
state. The present law is nothing
short Of a rank fraud; it is unjust and
unreasonable. By no course otreason-
ing can we justify the tax exemption
for the immensely rich producing mines
OF our state. We can see no reason
why the owners Of these properties are
entitled to an annual bonus from the
people Of the state. If mine is
worth $40, 100000 why should it not
be assessed on that basis, just as farm
worth $4,000 is assessed on a ten
thousand dollar basis. And if there is
any justice or reason in the present
mine assessment law the same reason
ought to hold good in the assessment
Of farmers. If mine owner should
pay only upon the net output then as
sess the farmer upon his net output.
The farmers net output is much less
proportionally than is that Of the big
Occur d Alene lead mines, and if any
class of Our citizens are entitled to low
assessment it is certainly the man who
with muscle and brain, tills the soil
and whose chances for profit are ever
subject to the uncertainties Of weather
and small yields.
