Famous Blades Of Toledo.

The Spanish towns We're celebrated
throughout the civilized world for the
excellence of their swords, and among
them all Toledo stood unrivaled for the
temper of her steel. The Toledo blade,
famous in song and story, was so keen,
so flexible and withal so strong that it's
hneness became proverhial. When the
Moors overran Spain in the ninth cen
fury they We're already masters of
many of the arts, and especially were
they adopts in the working of metal.
Their swords We're highly valued for
their delicate temper, and their special
decoration, which we still call da-
m%ascening, was also justly priced. 1t
was from these c%onquerors that the
Spanish learned much of their skill in
forging and tempering steel. And that
the completeness of the noblest weap-
on men ever made should not be
marred by the lack of n element,
natural or artificial, the fairy god
mother, Nature, contributed one more
gift. On the banks of the Tagus there
IS an abundance of fine sand. In the
process of forging the metal is taken
White hot from the furnace and is sub
jected to a cooling process. It was to
the peculiar properties of this white
Tagus sand, in which the cooling blade
was buried, that the Toledo swords
owed their unequaled hardness and
great fexibility.

note that the Frangipani were n Of

LOOK AFTER THE ROADS.

The business men Of Troy must
wake up to the fact that il this town
is to hold its own in the future better
roads must be provided. To be sure
public roads leading to Troy are the
best in the county, especially during
the winter months, but even these can
and must be made better. Not only
must our town hold its present trade
but an effort must be made TO get new
business. The railroad to the north
will cut OF some business but this can
be regained by opening up new roads
into new territory. For example the
new road east to fancy will bring a
great deal OF new business TO Troy,
even as far east as Texas ridge. And
from talking with farmns OF that Sec
ton The News is informen that the
new road to the north will not touch
this trade. Richard King Of fancy
and others who are pushing the new
road through say they will have an ex-
cellent road this way and that Troy
will get big business. But let the
citizens Of our town not imagine
that there is nothing for them to do.
Other roads must be opened up and
old ones improved. Troy must wake
up 10 the situation and act with
promptness and energy. We must go
after the business. Our little town is
well located and there is plenty Of
business if we only hold our own. 1t
is up to Troy.

SMITH IS OUR MAN.

So w. d. Smith, editor of the Mos
COW Mirror, is candidate for the leg
islature. At least this is the report
recently printed in the Lewiston
Tribune under Moscow date. Well
we second the nomination. First: be-
cause, being a newspaper man our
selves, we know how badly our brother
needs the job. Second: We believe
that the man should seek the office
and the Lord knows that more dill
gent seeker than our friend Smith
never landed in Latah county. Third:
We don't favor the sending OF men to
the Legislature who possess any Of that
moral quality called backbone and our
friend Smith just exactly fills this re-
quirement. Fourth: An ideal leg
islative candidate is one who can flop
from one side to the other, and if nee
essary, perform the acrobatic feat Of
being on both sides of any question at
the same. Now as Mr.. Smith is a
peach when il comes to adjusting
himself to fit the occasion and a past
master in the straddle bug business we
favor him for the legislature, second
his nomination and pledge our fortune
and our sacred honor TO stick to him
till his political canoe goes t. the bot

HE GOT THE TURKEY.

There is a minister living out on
the east side who is a great Joker. He
loves 10 tell jokes at the table, and
when ne does so the other members
OF the family are expected to laugh.
The minister has son 81 years old,
who gets awfully tired Of the Jokes.
Recently he got in the habit of scowl-
ing when his father would spring his
alleged witticisms. The minister
noticed this and thereafter it was i'm
possible for the son TO secure a second
helping Of any Of the food his father
served. AS result the son would
sometimes leave the table hungry.
One day the family had turkey for
dinner and the son decided to get all
ne wanted of it, even if he had to
laugh at his fathers jokes. Soon after
he had eaten his first allowance his
ather sprang a pun and the young
man laughed. 1t wasn't a simple
laugh; it was roar, which only ended
when he fell off his chair. When the
son had pulled himself together again
his father looked sternly over his
glasses. "Aheml Henryp' he said,
