family fortune was impaired during
the civil war and the reconstruction

officers for the new county of
Bonner have not been named by
the governor, who will probably
make his announcements this
week. He will also have to ap-
poin* a county commissioner for
Cassia county, and two members
of the board of commissioners for
Kootenai co lnty, this action being
necessltated by the fact that at
last falls election these officers
were regularly elected, but have
been legislated out of Office by
the division of the counties of
Cassia and Kootenai.
There are two county division
bills, which are looked on with
great interest, still under con-
sideration. The bill to create
Clearwater county from the east
end of Nez Perez, has passed the
House and is now uuderconsidera-
ton in the Senate. While the
Senate bill creating Kamiah county
from Nez Perez county. including
in the new county practically all
the Nez Perez prairie country, is
under consideration in the House.
There are strong lobbies here
working either for the passage or
defeat of these measures.

Miss Miriam Nelke, of the University
atProvo, Utah, entertained large aud
fence at the l.. d. s. Church Tuesday
evening with one of her excellent rect-
ais. She was rested at intervals by
solos by Messrs Davis and Harry Bitten,
Mrs. j. G. Millick and Miss Bertha
Yancey playing the accomplishments.
Miss Nelke captured her audience early
and held them to the finish. Each piece
was excellent, and each one was best
until she gave the next number. Per
haps the best and most elevating of all
was the story of the impersonated
fiddle "Crimona, 1871" in the hands of
the artist who starved rather than sell
his instruement, the companion of IS
years. Miss Nelke is the teacher of elo.
cution in the University at Provo. This
was one of the entertainments whose in
fuence is good and leaves something
good with the community after the en-
tertainer is gone. Had the weather been
favorable the proceeds would have been
considerable, but under the circumstan-
ces the committee in charge was fortu.
nate in not having loss after paying
the heavy expense. Much credit is due
to Mrs. j. Il. Carruth, Mrs, l.. r. Thomas
and Mrs Peter G. Johnston who person
ally managed the affair and whose
names alone are an assurance to the
public that something worthy is being
planned.
The Annual Conference of The Y. M.

COMICAL TABLEAUX,
FOR OLDER CHILDREN

N.
These are very amusing, and. unlike most
charades and tabeaus, need little or no
preparation
The players must divide themselves into
TWO sides One-haf of them decide what
event In history they will represent Then
they form tabeau, making II as ridicu-
lous as possible. The other side must try
TO guess what the tableau is, and IL they
succeed they change places. But II not
they must keep on until they guess right.
Here are some examples of these COM
ical tableaus: o. = 81
Balboa discovering the Pacific OCEAN
Place pan of water on the floor in plain
sight of the spectators: then let some one
dress up in a long cloak and high-crowned
hat to personate Balboa, while the rest of
the performers; enveloped in shawls crouch
around When the curtain is drawn Bal
boa must be seen looking intently through
one end of a tin horn, or paper one at the
pan Of water
Nero at the burning of Rome-Nero, in a
brilliant costume of shawls, sits on a ia
Bile, surrounded by his courtiers also in
the same elaborate costumes. Nero is in
the act of fiddling his fiddle being a small
fire shovel and the bow a poker On the
floor In front of the group is placed a tin
pan. in which is set a small house. which
has been hastily cut from paper. A lighted
match Is put to the paper house as soon
as the curtain rises.
FROM these two suggestions the nature
Of the tableaux can easily be seen and
others originated.

BIRD TROUBLES.

Birds have trouble enough Of their own
for all they sing so cheerily Sometimes
you can hear them give pitiful frightened
cries. or you may often hear them scold-
ing with all their might and main. IT ia
only the cat that they scold. but often thew
have trouble with their own bird neigh
bors. The blue-jays are regular little
thieves. and will eat birds eggs whenever
they can. The other birds know this and
they always set up a big scold.ng when
Mr.. Blue-tay comes anywhere in sight
Crows are thieves of other birds too and
perhaps owls are the worst of all, for they
eat the little birds themselves
Then another trouble that the birds have
is in bringing up other birds children If
Is great nuisance. The English cuckoo
always lays her eggs in some other birds
nest and thinks no more about them The
cowbird. a common black creature with q
dusty brown wife, never brings up his own
children. The eggs laft in the nest of
a little bird like the sparrow, and she finds
that when all the eggs in her nest are
hatched she has a strange, greedy-looking
child who soon is larger than she is and
who wants all the latest worms
Birds are also troubled by the snakes and
squirrels, who eat their eggs. So You see
they have cares enough without being both

that In the afternoon they should cross the

Composite Hide and Seek.

Any group of four or more players can
have great fun in the woods or where there
are tall grass and other objects to hide be-
hind. First two leaders chosen, by
any of the usual contingent methods, and
these two leaders choose sides. Then there
is a toss-up to see which side is ''it' first
The players on this side all hide their eyes
and count together out loud up to say 300
Meanwhile the players on the other side
hasten away in a group and hide as COM
pletely as possible.
Then the search begins. When any one
of the hunting party discovers the hiding
group, a great shout or a war whoop is
raised, and that side then has to count
while the other side hides. 1t should be
agreed that certain limits or boundaries are
not to be crossed. Where the woods are
thick, or where there is plenty of under
brush, the sport is fine

SEEN ON THE STREET.

About o'clock one evening not long ago
a lady who was walking down lonely side
street saw ahead of her an Intoxicated man.
There was no one in sight except this man,
a boy Of about fourteen years. who was
carrying some packages, and herself. Be-
ing tmid, she was afraid to walk toward
the man. and so stood still waiting until he
should get out of her way. The little boy
saw her hesitation, and taking in the situa-
ton at a glance. he turned back.
Don't be afraid" he said shyly "Pll
take care of you; you just walk alongside
of me-
She did so, and like gallant knight of
the olden times he protected her until
danger was past.
Such a manly boy" she said. In telling
about it afterward. "Why, he was more
thoughtful than most boys I know who
have had the advantage OF assocating with
gentlemen all their lives"

THE TIGER LILY.

BY MAY EAGAN.
Long years ago In FIowerland
There dwelt a lily tall.
She held her head In Scornful pride
Above the flowers all.
"Indeed, l soon shall marry
fairy prince so fine
She often said. with regal air,
'And then all things are mine
The flowers shook their pretty heads;
Such thoughts were great, forsooth.
But seldom had flower wed
With such q fairy youth.
One day a tiger. resally dressed.
Came Looping through the wood.
And at the pretty lily's side
Enchanted long he stood.
Next day the folk In Flowerland
Were much surprised to hear
Sweet lily had eloped with him;
The news spread far and near.
"a fairy prince, indeed" they cried
Wed rather far stay here
Than travel to the tigers home.
She'll sorry be. we fear
Sweet lily, quite contented. though.
With choice that she had made,
Became the tigers princess wife.
In gorgeous hueS arrayed.
And that is how, Small Pitchers,
The tiger lily grew.
The children of this tigers queen
Have spots ana tigers hue.
