As fine corps OF teachers as the
State of Idaho can boast began the

Shoshone last Tuesday.
Besides acting as superintendent,
Prof. w. C. Thompson takes charge of

for the first time this term.
Miss Lula Wheeler occupies the stone

and fitted up in fine shape

the primary on the north side, using the
same room as last year.
Miss Fern Fuld also assumes her po-
sition of last term, that of primary in
structor in the high school on the north
side.
The enrolment was only 159 for the
irst of the week but from all indica-
ions it will run way above 200 before
he first term is out. In fact it is
doubtful if the Accommodations are not
vertaxed before the year closes.
Taken all in all the outlook is bright
or the most successful school year in

expression.

talented pianist. Lynn LeMunyon,

Eerrv.s Free Seed Book.

For half "a century thousands and
thousands of farmers and gardeners
have regarded "Ferry's Seed Annual
as the best guide not only for the buy
ing of seeds, but for their planting and
care. Daily reference to its text and
illustrations proves it to be the actual
beginning Of successful season. The
new edition foi 1903 is now ready for
free mailing to all who write to the
publishers for copy.
1t is high tribute to the house OF
D. NJ. Ferry & Co. that two genera
tions have planted Ferry's Seeds, each
succeeding year adding to the CONT
dence that "seed trouble" will never
arise when Ferry's seeds are planted as
"Ferry's Seed Annual" says they
should be.
Another remarkable feature devel-
oped by the house of Ferry is the meth
cd Of distributing seeds to dealers
throughout the country 80 thSt the
planters everywhere can secure at their
home store exactly what they want
when they want it, with the absolute
assurance that it is fresh and fertile.
Everyone should send at once to d. Nj.
Ferry d Co., Detroit. Mich, for the
1905 edition of "Ferry's Seed Annual. !"

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE This SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Druggn;
in Your Town and Shake Them
in q Bottle to Nix This.

A well known authority on Rheuma.
tism gives the readers of large New
York daily paper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsa parilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teas poonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injurIng the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated Dy many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even the
small towns ELECTS the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists will
mix the prescription if asked 10.

which for the last two years has be

The teacher says that this little crea-
ture has brought distinct sense Of
happiness and tenderness into the room.
Sometimes the pleasure of the children
in this little creature is increased by
their being allowed TO take ii home for
overnight. In this way many parents
have been led to have a pet of their
own, and the influence OF the rabbit has
been marked.

WAYS OF TRAPPING ANIMALS.

Elephants Easily Captured, but II

elephants are easily trapped" said
700 keeper, very easily trapped and
very easily tanned. The trapper chooses
spot popular with elephants and digs
a hole five feet deep and twenty feet
square. He surrounds this hole with a
high board fence except In one place,
where he hangs a swing gate. Next he
finds a herd of elephants, chooses the
animal he wants. maddens it and
makes it chase him. The man tears
along on his nag The elephant thun-
ders along close after and just at the
gateway the man swerves to the right.
but the elephant. too heavy TO swerve,
bangs right on through into the hole.
Hes mad at terribly mad.
But they give him no food nor drink,
they build around the pit fires of damp
wood that almost suffOcate him with
smoke and they daze and stupefy him
with shouts and bangings of brass pans.
The elephant is completely broken and
subdued in three or four days. He
comes forth and follows the trapper
humbly and timidIy with tears in his
eyes.
Monkeys are trapped with-what do
you think ?-booze. You rush in among
a flock of them and they take TO the
trees. chattering and watchful. You
pull out some bottles of strong, sweet
booze, pretend TO drink. then lay the
bottles down and go away. On your

Jungle is strewn with bodies of drunk

most difficult animals to trap. They
