Soldering No Fun.

One of the Americas privates was
asked for an opinion as to his ex-
periences.
Well" said he, IF you could en-
joy sweating all day and killing
mosquitoes all night, you would be
delighted with a fortnight in camp.
1t wasn't quite that bad, but work
and mosquitoes are the strongest
impressions l brought away from
Tybee | thought I knew what work
was, but l realize now that l have
got snap in Americas. No regular
soldering for me. | think we have
all had our eyes opened to the fact,
too, that the government regards
this whole business seriously and
that when you enlist now it is no
laughing matter. The government
expects the State troops to be ready
to do duty when the time comes. l
feel certain of that after the past
two weeks at Fort Screven."

An Enitanh of PONIES.

The following epitaph written by
Pope was highly commended by John
son. 1t was written to keep alive the
memory of Elizabeth Ccrbett, who
sleeps now in st. Margaret's, West

Here rests a woman, good without pre-
tense.
BEST with plain reason and with sober
sense;
No conquest she but O. er herself desired;
No arts essayed, but not to be admired.
Passion and pride were to her soul I'M
known,
Convinced that virtue only is our own;
So unaffected, so composed a mind,
So firm, yet soft; so strong, yet so refined,
Heaven, as its purest gold, by tortures
tried;
The saint sustained 1t, but the woman
died

Fond Of Crab.

A jolly old boy from the Midlands
entered into one of the hotels at the
seaside and, seeing on the slab ON the
right a crab dressed on the shell with
legs, claws and parsley ranged round,
said to the landlord:
"What dye call that?"
"Crab," was the answer.
Looks good I'll have I'm, and gle
US a pint of ale"
Bread and butter was added and the
diner lgft to his dinner. In about an
hour tho genial landlord entered the
dining saloon to see if his guest was
getting on all right. He found him
chawing up the last claw, the chawer
red in the face, but beaming.
Like the crab, sir?'
''Yes. He was capital. 1 never tast-
ed one afore, but l think you baked I'm
a little too long. The crust was hard.
Let's have another pint"
He had eaten the lot-shell, claws
and all complete.-London Tit-Bits.

Tanned by the sun, bitten by the
sandfiies and mosquitoes, hardened
by the work, with full realization
now, If not before, that soldering
it not play but hard labor, the boys
of the Americas Light Infantry re-
turned late Wednesday afternoon from
their two weeks in camp at Fort
Screyen, on Tybee Island.
Now that it is all over, And merely
matter of "reminiscences, the boys
are inclined to look upon their ex-
periences with a somewhat light heart
But when they were drilling an hour
and a half in the mid day sun, out
on the great parade ground of the
and Niagara of water was
pouring from every pore, the ywere
inclined to yearn for home and the
soda water fountains. And at
night, when a legion of mosquitoes
born in on the land breezes, invaded
their tents and made life bur-
den, they yearned even more for the
red clay hills of Sumter.
1t was not a picnic, not pleasure
iaunt, not a dolce far niente exis-
tence, not a round of bathing and
flirting and dancing, to the music OF
the sad sea waves. They found that
out soon after their arrival Many
of them had shared in the impression
that because they had been such
good soldiers Uncle Sam was going
to give them a pleasant outing by
way of recompense and recreation
If that was the venerable gentleman
original intention he seems to have
changed his mind just before they
arrived at Tybee Island
From the moment they reached the
government reservation until they
marched off of it for the train the
Americas boys knew that they were
up against the real thing.
How long did they drill and other
wise work your was asked of
one.
"Twenty-four hours a day." was
his reply.
This was an eXaggeration, but
there is a general agreement that
the devil had little time in which
to get in his work. When they were
not drilling they were marching, or
doing guard duty, or getting ready
for dress parade, or engaged in some
other military duty. AS one boy re-
marked; He didn't know there was
so many things that could be found
TO ra soldier to do" Not one as far
as can be learned has sent off for
enlistment papers in the regular
army as a result of the two weeks
experience. Unless they can go in
as officers the boys of Company G.
will probably decide to stick to the
store, or the shop, or the farm, and
let some other fellow do soldering
for the nation at large.

The fact that one of the leading
attorneys for the defense has adj
vised Debs that if he really has the
interests of the defendants at heart
he would stay away from Idaho
during the trials is significant of
the opinion entertained of the So
cialist leader, even by those who
are in measure allied With him.
The one thing most desirable to
avoid is the melting of incendiary
sentiments, and this will be ex-
tremely difficult when there is such
a frebrand present.
However, it is the privilege of
Mr.. Debs. as of any other citizen,
to go to Boise if he wishes to. 1t
will be hoped that the counsels of
wiser and more conservative men
will act as some sort of check up
on him, and that if he attempts to
renew his advocacy Of open VIC
lence and resistance to law he will
be promptly suppressed.

HomedaIe. Idaho.

Nugget has received a plat and
prospectus OF the proposed town
of Homedale, laid out on the
south bank of the Snake river, in
the northwestern part OF Owyhee
county, on the line Of the survey
of the San Francisco, Idaho &
Montana Railway. The propos-
ed town covers Rev. Jake Mus
sells fine ranch and some adjoin-
ing ground bordering on the
river and is a slightly location for
a town, in one of the most fertile
sections of the state, to be water
ed from Succor creek, along which
canals and reservoirs are now
being constructed to conserve
and distribute the water. Blocks
of ground have been reserved for
church, school and other public
buildings.
1t is a fine location for the
erection of smelters and reduc-
ton works for South Mountain,
Northern Nevada and southwest
ern Idaho ores, after the railway
has been constructed, and the
Homedale Improvement Co., is
bearing this in mind and will
make it a point to place this fact
before mining men.
The town is only 10 miles south
of Caldwell, with the great Gov
eminent irrigation enterprise
covering nearly all the interven-
ing ground.
Choice selections of business
and residence lots are now offered
there at a mere fraction Of what
their value will be after the Col
den Gate route is once undercon-
struction.

quite full reports, the members
