CASSEL'S ART COLLECTION.
Purchased Mainly With Gold Paid Fos
Hessians Sent to America.

Purchased Mainly With Gold Paid Fos
Hsssians Sent to America.
Cassel is perhaps the only town
in Germany with distinctly Amer
lean chapter in its history, and yet
it is seldom visited by Americans.
Once upon a time there lived in
Csssel the Landgrave Frederick II.
of Hesse. He seemed to have been
a very amiable sort of prince, with
a level, practical head on his shout
ders. He loved his capital city, ly-
ing in the mountain Graded plain,
and he could look out of his palace
windows any fine morning over the
waters of the Fulda, which wound
its lazy thread under the city walls.
He divided his time between improv-
ing the town and amusing himself.
In Cassel broad squares were laid
out, streets cut and buildings erect
ed, while up on the hills at the cas-
tie of Wilhelmshohe the landgrave
held court, where ladies fair and
gallants bold united to do him
honor.
So all went merry as a marriage
bell until the year of our Lord 1875.
Then from over the seas came news
of wars and rumors of wars. The
American colonists, impudent ras-
Gals, had revolted against the
king of England, and the land
grave pricked up his ears. At
last one fine day Frederick II. in
Cassel received a communication
from George III. in England, and
the result was that several thousand
loyal Hessians were hurried off to
aid the British in America, and the
landgrave received a neat little con-
sideration in the shape of several
million dollars. And then
Many of these Hessians made the
long voyage only to be surprised one
night as they lay on the banks OF
the Delaware and taken prisoners
by a colonial general named George
Washington, and Cassel became the
owner of an art collection which,
though small, is one of the finest in
Europe, and which was purchased
mainly with British gold paid as
hire for the Hessian soldiers sent u
America.-Grace S. II. Tytus in st.
Nicholas.
The Ideal In Everyday Life.
The inward enthusiasm which glad
deps us, sustains us. lifts us again
whey we fall, is more necessary than
orr daily bread. Man lives on the
Meal. All Of us have need Of its sub
lime grandeur, which, whiie defyins
all comparison. yet associates itself
with the smallest actions. Do not
scorn any lowly labor. The secret OF
the true life consists in understanding
the close relationship existing between
that which is so wonderfully beautiful
80 highly spiritual and the things seem
ingly so small, destitute Of beauty AID
spirituality.
The words everyday life" recall the
DAYS of the week, the commonplace
DAYS. without variety or brightness.
Days are not all one like the other.
We have Sundays and holidays. which
have an altogether different aspect
from other days. There Is a mental
condition for holidays. and, having 50
long been under the dominican indu
ence. a mood for Sunday. and, IN the
sweet contagion of hopes which each
Sunday reawakens in US, some find the
mountain and the forest, the harvest
and the flowers, more beautiful on Sun
day than o. other days.-Harper' Ba'
Iar.

the Valencia manned by exhausted
men, partially under water, with
nothing to propel it but two long
oars, and with no means OF using

the people, could not boats or rats

and take the people off? Seamen

COULDN'T MAKE TRIP
Branch Train Unable TO Make Way
through Snow in Cuts last
rlonGay.

Owing to the heavy precipata-
tion of snow the later part OF last
week and the first OF this, and the
high w.nd which blew all of that
time. the cuts on the Wood River
Bra ach about % miles forth ol
: Shoshone were filled with snow and
when the branch train with two
engines tried to force its way
through it became stuck and could
move neither forward or backward
for several hours.
The train left at the usual hour
Monday morning and as it was
feared by the majority OF the pas
sengers that they would not be
able to get through they had pro
vided themselves with a lunch, and
this they shared with those who
net looked so far ahead. When
the first cut was reached about %
miles north of Shoshone the train
speeded up as much as possible and
tried to force its way through with
the result that several windows
were broken from the fermost en-
CINE and the entire train became
fast in the drift After working
for several hours the crew, with the
assistance of the Jap section men,
succeeded in shoveling out the
train and as it was seen impossible
for the light engines to plow
through the drifts tae train backed
down to Shoshone to await the ar
rival OF the rotary from the east
end Of the Short Line.
The rotary arrived about day,
light Tuesday morning and pro-
ceeded up the branch at 8 o'clock,
making it possible for the train to
make the round trip.

interesting Items from the National
Capitol

| Senator Hepburn has been noti-
fed by the navy department that
vacancy exists at The Naval
Academy due to the graduation of
Robert t. Ghormley, which he is
entitled to fill. He has decided to
nominate Herbert Dunton of Boise
as principal, and VIM. e. Robert
son of Glenn's Ferry as first alter
nate. The positions Of second and
third alternate are still vacant, but
Senator Hepburn will complete
his selections within a short time.
The examination will be held at
Boise and Moscow on the third
Tuesday in April under the super
vision of the civil service commits
sion, and at the Naval Academy at
| Annapolis on the third Tuesday in
June under the supervision of the
Superintendent Of the Naval Acad-
envy. Mr.. Dunton who has been
designated as principal IS reported

The committee on Public Lands
of the house of representatives, of
which Congressman French is
member, few DAYS ago defeate
the bill providing for the repeal Of
the stone and timber act. be de-
feat Of this measure in the COM
mittee is due principally to Con-
gresham French and Congressman
NIondelI of Wyoming. at the
beginning of the present session of
congress it was thought that the
stone and timber act would be re-
pealed without much opposition.
and as stated the change ia the
sentiment of the conn ttee due
principally to Mondell and French
The principal argument of those
favoring the repeali is that the law
has resulted in the great lanG
frauds that have been so prevalent
in the west for the last few years
While those opposing the repeal
claim it is a good law and especial
ly beneficial to settlers Auother
fact that had great weight with the
committee was that of the twenty
seven millions of dollars now com
prising the irrigation fund, it is
claimed that twelve millions of
this came to the irrigation fund
from the sales under the stone and
timber law This fact is doubtless
the cause of the hard work done by |
French and Mondell as they repre-
sent states largely benefited by ir-
rigation and permanently large |

senator Hepburn engaged in an
argument in the senate last week
on the question of coal lands being
acquired and controlled by rail
roads As a result he won a high
place in the estimation of men,
bers of the senate on account of his
of his ability to cope
with the leading lawyers in the
senate on question of law. The
debate in full can be found in the
Congressional Record of March
second. Senator LaFollette had {
an amendment to the {
Indian bill and had been speaking
,n it for some time when Senator
Hepburn challenged the constitu-
,ionality OF the prop sed amend c
nent and proceeded to show Mr.. f
the error of his position. L

dyed that he was not in position q

"Mr. President, productive in

distinctly apart that neither would
control this other. If productive

they do it for their selfish interests
if the railroads control productive
industry, they do it for their sell

to find a remedy for this evil; but
it is the greatest evil today existing
in the business world. No rail

other business than that of COM

the common carriers of the country
