1t looks like the federal
crowd" as they have been called
in Boise, had gone a long way
beyond a decent course, in black
ing the name OF "a man now dead
and gone, that they might couple
with it the name OF one now liv-
ing, because he has been accorded
more honors by the state than
all of them will ever be able to
achieve.

employment

The striking of oil and gas in a
well at Payette, at adepth of400
feet may or may not mean a good
deal for that section. There has
been more or less talk about oil
existing in Snake river valley for
several years past, and quite a
quantity of land was located in
Owyhee county, but nothingever
came of it. But near Ontario,
on the opposite side OF the river
from Payette, a small flow ofgas
was found, in drilling a well for
water, a year or SO ago, and this
induced some speculative men in
Portland to organize accompany
and to secure leases on lands be-
tween Vale, Oregon, and Cam
bridge, Idaho, and raise money
to test the territory. This com
pany has several well drilling rigs
up, and the we'll at Payette down
400 feet. In this we'll they have
found some gas accompanied
with a small show of petroleum.
Drilling in the we'll is still being
continued and there is a POSSIBLE
ity that they may be successful
in getting oil in quantities, as
they have done in Texas, Califor-
MIA, Indian Territory, Kansas,
and so many eastern states. But
they have nothing to exult over
yet. There have been many pla-
ces where they have had quite as
good showings as at Payette
which have amounted to nothing
more than creating a little tenn
porary excitement. But hope
the company will persist and test
the other localities. Their chances
are quite as favorable as were
those of men who have tested
other fields successfully, and in
this section where fuel is scarce
and dear, the finding of an oil
field such as southern California
possesses would mean much for
the country.

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have Surnounted
 Great Obstacle

Marvellous as it may seem, New York women have lately discovered a way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance Thought not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the Chambermalds that they now feel that it is time 10 guard their pockets. The Gotham woman dlseov- cred that if she put her blouse on bind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top 10 bottom, with the excep tion of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without un- duly straining the fastenings. So sim pie, So strange that no one had thought ol it before. Or is 1t possibl. other women have used the plan and meanly kept it to themselves? Will the waist that buttons in the back now have a new lease of life?

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible itching Prevented Sleep Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
 -Cuticura Cured in Days.

T had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands. arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and l could not keep from scratching them. l had to keep both hands bandaged all the time. and at night l would have to scratch though the bandases as the itching was so severe and at times l would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. l coald not rest or sleep. l had several physicians treat me but they could hot give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Guticura Ointment and two bottles of GHticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and l never felt better in my life than l do now.

greeting lin red ink): Hello" Was the inscription.
 These Easter egg greetings, az the little fellow was wont to call them, were daintily wrapped in pretty tissue papers, tied with bits of bright rib bons and placed in white pasteboard boxes, to be sent on Easter eve to his many friends, who. you may be sure, were delighted to receive them.
 A German housemaid being very fond of her mistress little children and wishing to add bit of homely cheer to their Easter tide, decided to follow a quaint and pretty custom ob- served in many provinces of Germany. Early on Easter morning-before one of the family was astir-She stole out on the lawn and hid little nests twnich she had secretly made during her spare hours) under shrubs, trees, behind vines and flower pots and in every conceivable corner of the yard In these nests. fashioned of straw, tWigs and twine. she placed the fresh est of eggs. which were to De cooked for Easter breakfast. And the cook ing was done out of doors in kettle placed over rude camp fire for the purpose.
 When the family came down stairs the German maid told them that the Easier rabbits had been in the grounds the previous night and that if the chil dren would hunt about tue syard they would find fresh eggs for breakfast left there for them by the snowwhite rabbits.
 Eagerly tEc little ones. accompanied by their parents. who were as full of happy anticipation as the children, ran into the grounds about the house hunt ing for the eggs the rabbits had brought. Screams of delight and joy. ous laughter followed the finding of the nests, which were quickly robbed of their contents Then to the steam. ing big kettle they all hurried carry ing eggs in hats and aprons, and the German maid-no less happy than the n-superintended the boiling of the eggs which were taken piping hot to the diningroom. where the rest of the breakfast awaited the family. And a most delightful Easter breakfast was enjoyed by all, each declaring that he or she had never before tasted such deliciously favored eggs as had been brought 10 them by the snow.white Easter rabbits on Easter Eve night.
