relative to Custer county legis-

RAvENEL MACBETH.
| Senator Ravenel Macbeth of
| Custer county has a patrician
American history, he being a
member of the Society of Colon
ial Wars and of the Huguenot
society, two of the oldest and
most bloo6ed American organi-
cations. He was born in South
Carolina in 1868, in the city of
Columbia, historical in its as
! sociations with early America.
| He received his education in
| South Carolina and Missouri.
Mr.. Macbeth stands well in his
county, as shown by the fact
that he comes for the third time
to represent his constituents.
He will be one of the best in
formed men upon the floor of the
senate, though he will vote with
the minority on partisan ques-
tions, as he is a Democrat of
Democrats.

, a law course. Returning to Ida
ho he settled at Idaho Fails

He was in succession treasurer,
councilman and mayor of that
city, and prosecuting attorney of
J Bingham county. Later, he
went to Mackay before the rail

Rather Remain Single.

An athletic young man, who was
on the way to get his marriage
license, found himself at last in a
room where, as matter of fact,
candidates for the police force were
being examined.
The moment he entered the room
the surgeon said, "Strip!"
ssWhat's that" said the astonished
young fellow.
"Get your clothes off, replied the
surgeon.
He did so and his chest measure
ment was taken.
Next the surgeon said, Jump
over this horizontal bar"
He tried the leap, but fell to the
ground.
Double up your knees" com.
manded the surgeon, land touch the
floor with your hands"
Again he tried and failed.
''Now run around the room ten
times
The young man replied. THAT
I'll not. I'd rather remain single"
"Single?" said the doctor.
Eyes single. I'd like to know what
all this has to do with my getting
my marriage license"
And then the mistake as to the
room was ed.-Rochester Herald

The Intruder.

A Washington man was telling some
one of the trials of his wife, an excel
lent housekeeper, with reference to the
servant problem. Just about the time
the mistress would get new girl bro
ken to the ways Of the household and
she would bid fair to become model
servant she would decamp or enter
the service of a neighbor. One OF
these, a Mrs. B., had incurred the
especial enmity Of the first woman,
for she had lately taken two servants
from Mrs. Brown. One night Brown
was aroused from his slumbers by
queer sounds in the kitchen. Bur

ear of his spouse as he prepared to
tumble out of bed and proceed down
stairs. edward" calmly observed
the wife, "I'd give anything to possess
your optimistic nature. Always look
ing on the bright side. I'll wager any
thing it's that odious B. woman trying
to get Mary away from me-"
