Following is the article complain
ed of:
A San Francisco paper has the fol-
lowing and those here who know Lloyd
Osborne will appreciate 1t fully:
/ hear that the relations of the Lloyd
Osborne's have become SO strained that
Mrs. Osborne, who was living in
Florence, has hurried back to San
Francisco and taken possession of the
Osborne half of the Stevenson home
in Hyde street. Lloyd Osborne, they
say, was threatening to sue for divorce
and the gossips have picked out as his
next possible choice Mrs. Frank Nor
ris, the Fascinating widow of the young
California merchant who died SO pre-
maturely few years ago.
Mrs. Osborne is one of the Roman
matrons In style and totally different
in temperament from her Bohemian
husband, whom the gossips accredit
with somewhat f1frtatious disposition.
AS long as the wife lives in her San
Francisco home in Hyde street her
spouse cannot by hook or crook get
divorce on the ground of desertion.
The gossips further say that the agi-
tation of the poor man was most pa
thetic when he found that he was not
being legally deserted. He Is alleged
to be a great heart-breaker and given
to making Byronic remarks like this
when he meets a fair one:
May I call you Mary?" or
IF your husband weren't looking I'd
kiss you,'' which / believe is the way
the natives of the Samoan Islands
make love.

HOW BUSINESS IS
DONE At VLAD|VOsTOK

officers of the steamer Hyades.
says the Japan Advertiser, tell of the
difficulties of business at Vladivostok.
There is considera BILE business in
bIackmail, or, as the AmericaniSu apt
1y expresses it, grating. An incident is
told of foreign business man who
established himself in business at Via
divostok. Soon afterwards he was
visited by a Russian bank manager
who was in charge of the Vladivostok
branch of a st. Petersburg bank.
Couldn't you do better if you had O.
loan of, say, ten thousand roubles?''
said the bank manager. The business
man thought he could and enquired
the price. Twelve per cent. for the
bank, and ten per cent. for me-" said
the bank manager, unabashed. Short
ly afterwards the business man need
ed the money and got it on the terms
outlined. He expended the money in
his business and when six months had
passed the bank manager came again.
DO you want another ten thousand
roubles?'' he asked. The business man
did not. Well, the bank manager
thought he had better have another
loan, and said if he did not he would
either have to pay another ten per
cent, on the managers personal ac-
count, or the bank would demand the
payment of the former loan.
You see," said the bank manager,
there are a thousand or more cafe
chantant girls here now, and they've
got to live somehow As a matter of
interest it may be added that shortly
before the Hyades left, the bank
manager was sent to Saghalien for
nine months Imprisonment on account
of another case of similar graft.

Mark Twain recently told this story
as an illustration of his reason for not
talking when he dined with the Kaiser:
A man was reproached by friend,

How do you justify it?" The poor man
said: Il didn't want to interrupt her.

Abou Lem Ables, (may ne er lie),
Stood watching clouds financial sky,
And dreaming of mems ways of getting wealth,
And ease and comfort, happiness and health.
From Standard R. to Gould and Perpon NJ,
His swift thoughts flew, when o him came, ahem!
A chicken of a Puritanic strain.
(Whose ancestors the stormy MAN,
In the old Mayfower Plymouth Rock),

But layers and I'll prove I'm one of them.

And l will lay and lay and lie and lay again,
Till farmers small, and big, likewise,

And point you and say: There goes chap

And got a breed that lays a Million then,

The hen paused lay another egg,
And her to Abes
Who, nothing 10th IN to the tables,

And of her wondrous store of eggs bleed her.
Ten thousand eggs per diem seemed her limit
And Ables growed: ''Theres very little in it;

Next day the hen laid thirteen hundred eggs,
With shell that stuck her legs
And in night more,
And then crawled in the little hen house door
And laid her watles feathers, bones and beak

Just a Little Better

1t sounds like the same old story
OF "the wolf" when the journal
perseveres in the statement that it
is getting its Office in better shape
all the time. But it is really true.
Not all that it is to be, by a long
ways; but still enough better that
1t is willing to risk an unmade rep
utation as prophet that You'd be
surprised if You were to look in
and see the transformation. The
publishers have been spending all
their time, and then some. burning
the midnight and early.rising oil
to get the mechanical features of
the office into better condition. 1t
has been strenuous month but
there is daylight ahead.
Some improvements are coming
for the newspaper that will douht-
less be appreciated, now that the
office is fairly renovated.

PLANT GOOD TREES.

This section OF Idaho has reach
ed stage of development where i
is time TO plant more trees, and o.
better varieties than those put out
in earlier years.
Lombardy poplars have been set
out in considerable numbers, in
and around Shoshone. They grow
rapidly, making most grateful
shade. But they die off early, and
the wood is of the least possible
value. Aes.hetically they are the
least desirable, being dirty and the
least shade. They look good at a
distance, like our Puritan ances-
tors; but those same Puritans were
eantankerous old dodgers and hard
to live with.
There will never again be cheap
lumber here. Even with the last
vestige Of tariff taken away, throw
ing the American market open to
the world, it might be possible to
retard the price growth somewhat;
but that is all it could do. There
is no iron near us, for building pur-
poses. II looks like case OF such
high prices wi hin the next few
years that building operations will
be hampercd il not stopped, and
the growth of the arid west serious

One remedy right at hand is TO
plant trees that will grow into fair
ly merehantable wood. There are
trees that will make the best OF

raise varieties that in a few years

IT'S ALL RiGHT--BUT--
Even Socialism Hias Not Yet Reached
Ideal Operating Point

A J. Perry ard James Burnes Of
Scherrer were in Shoshone Monday
and Tuesday on business connected
with their school district. Some
difficulty seems to have arisen over
the sale OF the school house and
furniture, and the two gentlemen
above mentioned were here to pre-
vent, If possible, the sale of the
property. Mr.. Perry is a very en-
thnsiastic advocate OF socialism, and
was willing to admit it was not
right in line with the principles he
advocates for him to call upon the
law and the officers of the law to
help him enforce his rights, especi-
ally in socialist neighborhood as
the one at Scherrer, but says hat
they have not yet got the sociaiistic
in good working order in
that section, but are hoping for
better things in the future. Until
then they will continue to live in
the same old human way as the
rest of benighted humanity.
