Big Campaign Contribution.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-There was Joy
at the democratic headquarters the
other day. 1t lasted part of minute
and then dropped with dull thud.
The glad news came from the pub
licity department that the mayor OF
Timpson, Texas, had agreed to give
his entire years salary to the
national campaign fund. Colonel Wet
more, chairman of the financial COM
mittee was pleased. Visions of an
amount ranging anywhere from $500
to $4,000 danced merrily before his
eyes. He had never heard OF Timpson
Texas. Neither had any one else
around headquarters, but In these
days when corporation gifts are re-
ceiving the get thee behind me" sig
nal from national treasurers, h
thought that the salary Of even vii
lage president would look attractive
considered as an individual contri
button. The colonel's face was fairl!
radiant by the time he reached tn
last sentence OF the report, which
read, 1.-THE mayors salary is IL
year."

Mooniiaht.

Many readers may not be aware Of
the fact that the full moon gives sew
eral times more than twice the light
Of the half moon. They may be stil
more surprised to learn that the ratio
Is approximately as nine to one. Pro
fessor Joel Stebbins and r. G. Brown,
taking advantage Of the extreme sensi-
tiveness to light of a selenium cell,
measured the amount Of light coming
from the moon at different phases with
the result above mentioned. The rea-
son for the remarkable difference
shown IL to be found in the varying
angles Of reflection presented by the
roughened surface Of our satellite to
the sun. The moon Is brighter between
FIRST quarter and full than between
full and last quarter. The cause Of
this is evident in the more highly re
Elective character Of that part Of the
moon which lies west Of its meridian.

The Way q Traveller Picked Out an
Enslishman.
See that manT" the lately returned
traveller remarked to a friend. indicat
ing an individual a little ahead Of
them. "Well, never saw him before.
but I'll lay a good sized bet that he's
an Englishman and, moreover. a Lon
doner."
"How do you tell?" the friend asked.
by the way he wears his hat" was
the reply. Notice how it Is jammed
down on the head? Englishmen, espe-
cially Londoners, put on their hats for
keeps. No chance is taken Of being
separated from a bowler That's what
the derby Is called over there. And it's
the same way with top hat or a
straw or a cap, for that matter.
1.-The American wears his hat lightly
In comparison, and SO do the people
Of southern continental Europe. The
French, for example, have q penchant
for hats that seem bit too small for
them. At any rate, their headgear
doesn't appear to be very firmly fxed
1t may be my fancy, but an Italian al
ways impresses me as bit uncom
Portable In a hat At all events, he
likes to avoid wearing It whenever pos
sible But your Englishman wears his
hat thoroughly and seriously. It's tilt

Just then the man ahead drew a pa
per from his pocket. 1t was the Lon

The directors OF the fair are spar
ing no expense nor pains In order that
the best judges may be obtained for
passing on all departments. Mr.. Cow
en- has been In correspondence with
q. w. Grebe regarding the poultry. The
following is in part his reply:
Boise. Idaho, Aug. a, 1908.
u. B. Gowen,
Caldwell. Idaho.
Dear sir:
with reference to judging the
poultry at the fair. will be pleased
to do 80 and can give the lectures
and answer all questions pertaining
to poultry. Have owned and managed
one Of the largest plants in the North
west during the past 4 years, lectured
at farmers institutes and contributed
articles to farm and poultry journals.
I am at present associate editor OF the
Northwest Poultry Journal. Have al
ways exhibited poultry at the fairs
myself and hence was disqualified to
Judge. This season however. I will
be In position to do 80 as have sold
my interest in the Grebe Poultry Co.
my terms are $500 to judge and
$1,000 to lecture and explain each va
|riety. II you decide to favor me may
be able to bring over an incubator
and brooder and explain their use.
also a model poultry house and ex-
plain the use of the different feeds
Ietc. The judging would have to be
done and ribbons up before the lee
turing and the programs should state
the time and place Of the lectures;
also the advertising matter should
mention It. At the Boise Fair. nothing
was mentioned and we had but few
people In the poultry building to lee
Iture to.
ST will be pleased to lend what as
sistance I can In arranging matters In
the poultry department. I would need
the superintendent or his assistant
of course, to handle birds and cages
and do clerical work.

to the Atlantic for pleasure and busi-
ness. His first stop was at Denver.
where he witnessed the defeat Of tho
Idaho Mormon democrats: this so
Frustrated him, that he visited Pixies

fore continuing his journey East. Mr..
Aven's principal object in going East
was to buy goods for his big store.
He says he found plenty OF them and
at better prices than last year. The

and the basement Is already pretty

The principal cities visited during
his trip included Denver, Kansas City.
st. Louis, Chicago, Washington. New
York and Albany. Mr.. Aven says that
there is a better feeling In trade cir
cles, although business Is quiet. Not
much politics ia talked. yet he imag-
ines that he saw some indications OF
Bryan's election-this may be q case
of where the wish is father to the
thought He was greatly surprised
when he got home to know that the
Idaho democrats had produced twins,
not having noticed this important
event In the Eastern papers.

The Pocatello Tribune of the 25 inst.
contains the following caustic article
on an editorial appearing in a recent
issue of the States under the caption
Senator Hepburn" The fight which
the Boise paper has been making on
the state treasurer practically assures
his denomination.
Before and after his elevation to
the United States senatorship the
Boise Statesman has fought Mr.. Hey
burn-fought him bitterly, unrelent-
lessly, most always unfairly, some
times openly but more often under
handedly. 1t has criticised his pri-
vate and public acts, has thrown or
attempted to throw every obstacle in
his path toward political prominence
and legislative usefulness. 1t has re-
peatediy forecasted his death-the
wish being father to the thought.
Through it all the senior senator from
the great State of Idaho has pursued
the even tenor Of his way-fcrging
unerringly toward the very front rank
OF the big men of the nation. There
are some men so unkind-to the
Statesman-as to assert that Senator
Heyburn's strength among the people
is due largely to the Statesman's op-
position to him; they love him for the
enemy he has made.
Gust now the Statesman, subduine
its hatred of the Senator, appeals te
Mr.. Hepburn to Join 1t In defeating fol
denomination two members of the In
cumbent state administration.
1.-THE Statesman says:
The Senator's interest in the for
Incoming republican state platform II
commendable. OF course he Is inter
ested as a candidate for reelection
but he Is also interested as citizel
and Republican. We trust this gen
eral solicitude will also be impaired

votes, properly distributed two year
