The '.Darn-Goods'' in Labrador.

When Pete went out to cook dinner I
told him to make a little cornmeaI por-
ridge and let 1t go at that, but what
surprise he had for US when, a little
later, dripping wet and hands full Of
kettles, he pushed his way into the tent!
A steaming venison potpie, broiled veni-
son steaks, hot fried bread dough, stew
ed prunes for dessert and kettle of hot
tea! All experienced campers in the
north woods are familiar with the fried
bread dough. It is dough mixed as You
would mix it for squaw bread, but not
quite SO stiff, pulled out to the size OF
your frying pan, very thin, and fried in
swimming pork grease. In taste it re-
sembies doughnuts. Hubbard used TO
call it French toast Our young men
had never eaten it before, and Richards,
taking one of the cakes, asked Pete:
What do you call this?r
''I don't know answered Pete.
We'll" said Richards, with a mouth
full of 1t. 7 call it darn good"
That's what We call him them" re-
torted Pete, darn good"
And so the cakes were christened
.sdarn-goods. and always afterward we
referred to them by that name.-Dillon

was the logical outcome of the abnormal
conditions existing al the time of its
birth is taken a its face value. Now,
when Republicans are advocating in 4

The House That Jack Built.

The story of a suit for damages re-
Gently decided in a German village
reads like revised version of THE
House that Jack Built" In this case
a cat was chased by dog and ran
ran into a stable and jumped on the
back of COW that was being MIXED
and the COW was frightened and kicked
the milkmaid off of her stool and the
milkmaid's feelings were hurt and she
sued Captain Schorn, owner of the dog,
and Herr Won Dorm, owner of the cat,
and her employer, the dairyman, Herr
Kameler, owner of the cow for dam
ages, and the court awarded her $36
and each defendant had to pay one
third.
So there you have the whole mat
ter in a breath. AS the local poet
wrote:
This is the dog of Captain Schorn
That chased the cat of Herr Won Dorm
That scratched the COW with the crum-
pied horn
That kicked the maiden all forlorn
Whose testimony duly sworn
OF feelings hurt and clothing torn
Impelled the judge all shaver and
To mulct and fine that very morn
AS well as gallant Captain Schorn
Who owned the dog
That worried the cat
That scratched the COW
That kicked the maid
That MIXED in the barn at Redwitz.

APOSTLE SMITH
ROUNDLY SCORED
United States District Attorney
of Idaho Expresses His
Opinion of John Henry.
Especial TO The Herald.)

, Boise, Ida, Sept. 3.-N. NJ. Ruick,
United States district attorney for Ida
no, Republican office-holder and close
friend of Senator Hepburn. made a
public denunGiation of Apostle John
Henry Smith this evening for meddling
in Idaho politics. Incidentally he in
volved w. E. Borah in his accusations.
Mr.. Ruick got into an alteration
with John l.. Smith, "a state senator of
Cassia county. Later they renewed the
discussion with increased verbal acri-
mony i'm the rotunda OF the Idanha
hotel, which was crowded with strang-
ers. There Mr.. Ruick made what
amounted in effect to a regular speech.
He said John Henry Smith had come 10
the irrigation congress oStensibly as a
delegate, but really to lay wires to con-
troll the state politically. He charged
mat Apostle Smith had been too ac-
tive in past campaigns.
He alluded to Borahj Jas an ally of the
Mormon church. and said he preferred
an open enemy like Dubois to a friend
who went into political alliances with
church. TIE exact language used, it is
impossible to obtain, as Ruick has dis
appeared, and those who heard the
speech differ in their report of the lam
guage. though agreeing in their recol-
lection of its purport.
Ruick's concluding statement was
particularly bitter Referring TO the
visits during the campaign of Mormon,
apostles, he declared that they must
close. 'You may win this year, and
on may win next year" he is quoted as
saying, but ultimately we will stop
this interference, and there will not be
a grease spot left of these men who
come to direct our politics.
