invitations for party at The Armory
on Monday evening last and about
IT'S couples responded. The affair
was one of the big social events Of
the season and those who could not
attend missed rare treat Professor
Vests orchestra furnished most de-
lightful music and many compliments
were expressed about the manage
ment and the program. Punch was
served and at l o'clock the guests de-
parted for their homes with many ex-
pressions of regret that 1t was over

the very best of hosts.

The Japanese on Our Coast.

In the Catholic Advance. of Wichi-
ia, Kansas, of December 81, we
found an exceedingly interesting ar
ticle on the question, HAS Japan an
army on our Pacific COAST" The
writer says that In case of war with
Japan there are hundred thousand
japanese In the Pacific coast states,
all thoroughly trained soldiers, who
have already fought in the war with
Russia and who are thoroughly re-
liable to fight for Japan. He adds
that there are twenty-five thousand
more in British Columbia and prob
ably twenty thousand in Mexico. He
has strong reasons for believing that
these soldiers have arms Cor could
be soon armed by the Japanese YES
sels) and declares that they could
do enormous damage to us on the
Pacific coast and that practically
Japan is today the great power on
the Pacific against which we could
make but very little Roadway, all of
which inclines us to think that the
sooner we get out of the Philippine
Islands the better it will be.
AS we have said before, when Ma
poleon was urged by some of his Of
ficers to conquer certain provinces of
China, his reply was. 1--WE might
conquer some of their provinces, but
we should teach them the art Of
war, and they with their enormous
nation might sometime conquer
France" If China and Japan should
unite 1t would. not be wonderful IL
1t should become necessary to de-
stroy the Suez canal to prevent their
ships bombarding the cities Of
France. Exchange

Instructions Needed.

Everybody knows one or more OF
those conscientious cyclists who
cannot rid themselves of the idea
that no one can be trusted to care
ny out the simplest details of rou-
tine work without their personal
supervision.
1t was one of these men who sail
ed for England, leaving in his
brothers. care parrot Of which he
was very fond. All the way across
he worried about the bird, and no
sooner had he landed at Southhamp-
ton than he rushed over this cable
gram to his brother:
BE sure and feed parrot"
And the brother cabled back:
Have fed him, but he's hungry
again. What shall do next?"-

Of the retailers who favor reform in
to one compact organization and we
must use this organization as fac
tor in society to urge and If possible
to compel such reform as is de-
manded, and properly, in the saloon
business by the great conservative
element of the country"
There are many people who favor
absolute prohibition. There are many
others who, willing to see the traffic
eradicated, doubt whether it is pos
sible--doubt, in other words, wheth-
er prohibition does prohibit; but all
men surely see the wisdom of such
changes as those suggested by the
men in the liquor trade to whom we
have referred, and if these business
men can bring their business associ-
ates to the support of the PROPOSE
ton which they advance they might
possibly find that the prohibition
sentiment has largely disappeared by
the eradication of the worst feature
of the traffic.
But there can be no half-hearted
measure of this kind. The dealers
themselves must make good their
promises and their public pledges.

the stable saloon" are not any long

or at the county crossroads, in Louis

has been due largely to the readiness
with which the negroes, laborers and
idlers have been able to obtain
whisky. They obtain it still in Ken

day and on Sunday, and the brewers
and distillers should set themselves
to work to cooperate with the civil

Basket Ball.

The enthusiastic supporters of ath-
letics were entertained last Saturday
evening, February goth at the opera
house on North Main street by the
High School and Academy of Idaho in
two intensely interesting games Of
basket ball. The first game was call
| ed at 700 p. m. between the High
School girls and the Academy girls,
which during the first half, was very
exciting, and in which the guards CT
both teams showed very good train
ing, entirely shutting out field plays,
the only points made being made
from the foul line. After the first
half of the girls game the boys i'm
mediately lined up for their first half,
or twenty minutes, which was very
exciting and hard fought from start
to finish. 1t was seen at once that
the Pocatello boys greatly outclassed
our boys in size, training and expert
ence, having played many games and
for two or three years, while our boys
were inexperienced and easily excited
having had only six weeks practise
and the game being practically new.
The second half of the girls game
was much more exciting than the
first, the girls having lost their ..age
fright and become accustomed to
their boomers, they did fine guarding
and excellent pitching from foul line.
Of course the Pocatello girls having
made clean record for several years
in basket ball felt very confident of
winning the game, but the Black
foot girls, being mostly from Missouri |
were determined that they would
have to be shown. Their strong de-
termination and good playing won
the game aud caused many tears Of
bitterness to be shed by the Pocatello
girls, who were sorely disappointed.
The score of the game between the
girls was to 5 In favor OF Black
foot. The points were all made from
the foul line, not field throw being
made by either side.
The second half Of the boys game
was not so exciting as the first, the
boys having entirely lost their cour-
age. They showed some improve
ment from the first half of the con-
test both In guarding and team work.
Having lost their courage and being
purchased they fell below their stand
ard of field throwing. They have
learned considerable about the game
through this contest and will In the
future make it very interesting for
the visiting team, and may, like the
girls, show them that they are from
Missouri, too.
There will yet be number of good
games played this season and 1t is
hoped that the people will come out
and patronize this most fascinating
game. i

My Gentleman.

| own dog who Is a gentleman
BY birth most surely, since the crea-
ture can
Boast of pedigree the like of which
Holds not a Howard or a Metternich.
BY breeding Since the walks Of
life he trod,
He never wagged an unkind tail
abroad.
He never snubbed a nameless cur
because
Without friend or credit card he
was.
BY pride. He looks you squarely in
the face,
Unshrinking and without single
trace
OF either diffidence or arrogant
Assertion such as upstairs often
fiaunt.
BY tenderness. The littlest girl may
tear
With absolute impuntiy his hair,
And pinch his silken, flowing ears
the while
He smiles upon her face-yes, I've
seen him smile
By loyalty No truer friend than he
Has come to prove his friendships
worth to me.
He does not fear the master-knows
no fear
But loves the man who is the master
here.
BY countenance. II there be nobler
eyes,
More full Of honor and of honesties,
In finer head, or broader shoulders
found
Then have never met the man or
hound.
Here Ia a motto on my lifeboats log:
God grant may be worthy of my
