why you know, sir, was nurse
in the old country, SIR" she returned,
in the same sweetly modulated voice
that had noticed before, "and when
the young lady took SO bad, sir, they
sent for me to take care Of her until
the 'ospital nurses came from town"
who sent for you?" continued
curiously, again impeding her prog

She caught her breath at this last
clause, as IL she would have wished 1t

marked: "You are very busy most Of
the time, l presume"

defiantly, "and my business is my

to NEEDLE with it,"
With these remarkable words she
swept past me and proceeded to- Miss
Weston's room with all the impor-
lance Of an idealized Sairy Camp from
whom the Questionable qualities had
been eliminated.
AS l watched her ascend the stairs
with little self-reliant poise to her
head and manner of absolute nom
chalance, came to the sudden and
positive conclusion that the woman
had not bad trait in her makeup,
and that the only way to deal with
her was to approach her frankly and
in all honesty Of purpose. was con-
WINGED, too, that Miss Weston had
played no small part In persuading
Miss Carney to send for her as q
nurse, and I wondered how and
through what sort of argument she
had been induced to admit to her
house woman whom she had every
reason to- suspect Of bearing her no
great amount of good will.
From the housekeeper, who chanc:

that the nurses from town were ex.

AS TO AN ANTI-PAsS LAW.

We have never been a crank on
the subject of passes. We have
never claimed that we felt any
righteous indignation when we have
received bit of pasteboard emitting
us to a ride on the lines Of any rail
road corporation either in or out of
the state Of Idaho. We have not at
present any recollection of having
returned one of these passes when
sent TO us and further more we con-
fess that we have been rather glad
TO get them and have felt kindly to
the railroad official in each case who
sent the pass However, we have
never pretended to say that the
system Of giving passes was a just or
equitable system. Several years ago
we were ready to vote to do away
with the business Of issuing railroad
passes. There are exceptions of
course, but the general rule is that
the people who receive passes are
better able on the average to pay
Their fares than the people who have
to ny tickets or walk. Therefore
we have never been opposed to an
ant pass law although it might be
to our personal cost and inconyeni-
enc. But if the legislature is going
to pass a law to do away with passes
at all it ought to pass law that will
amount to something. Cut 'em all
Off, politicians, Office holders, edi-
tors Let the caudle appendage go
with the hide. Let the fellows who |
have been accustomed these many
years to ride dead head either put
up the coin or remain at their re-
spectiye domicies. This pink tea
sort of law that doesn't hit any
body in particular isn't the kind of a
law to put on the statute books.

NEWS FROM SWEET.

The past week has been one long
to be remembered on account of
high water and mud. There was
not a single place on Squaw Creek
that one could cross with safety.
The bridge at the mouth of the creek
is partly gone. The one at Sweet
is entirely gone. The Johnson bridge
! just above Sweet has not gone,
but was in danger of washing out
and the field was nearly covered with
water The Bailey bridge was two
feet under water and the first APP
proach washed away, so it was with
difficulty the travelling public went
anywhere. The mails came and
went regularly, but with great bur
den to the stock and drivers. The
snow roads in the mountains are so
soft that the horses break through.
Dad Bailey coming home from EN-
NETT had to lay over at Sweet two
nights before he could get home,
but finally made it. The rain has
ceased and the water has run down |
and soon we will all be fixed up.
Ed Reed had a hard trip up to
Holbrook's to meet man going to
Emmett 10 the bedside of his sick
child. He made it back and Jack
Murray took him on to Emmett in
the night. They had a hard trip.
