 "Yes-suffragettes!" adventured the girl.
 Then she said something about Home" and they went off at brisk pace As I strolled in their wake felt grateful for the glimpse I had had of the devotion which childhood can inspire in the heart of grown man; of the magic sensibility that enables the adult mind to see things with the eyes of youth.
 The afternoon was drawing in. and the people were streaming through the gateway when reached it. As l min gled with them on my way out there was a touch upon my arm and, turn ing, l looked down into the uplfted eyes of the girl Such pleading eyes, each with a tear trembling on the long lashes By her side was the boy look ing deeply concerned.
 Please please, help us to find fa- ther,' she implored. We've lost him!'
 She saw at once that I was ready to obey her, and, putting her hand in mine, led me away while she poured out her fears for her fathers safety. Of personal anxiety there was not a trace The reason followed quickly A blow on the head from a Boer rifle while he was defending a wounded comrade had destroyed his reason. Once withdrawn from their protection he was ponsible-helpless as a child
 All day l had been laboring under a delusion. The man was their charge, not they his. It was they who had been endeavoring to stimulate his fan ciful imagination. and so provide him with entertainment; and I had been deceived by his unconscious humor.
 When we found him wandering about aimlessly, as We did within five minutes. the girls relief was intense.
 My darling!" she sobbed, trying to get her small arms round him. My poor dear!"
 He showed no feeling at the re- union. made no remark; merely fell into step between his small protectors, and left the gardens with one of them on either side guarding him tenderly

The names and amounts are Civ
en- of contributions of $100 or

smallest contribution was two

they will publish their campaign

The tax levy in 1905 in Custer

less than $4,000. This has beer
a very conservative county ad

the Democratic National Com
mittee made public last week a
list of the states in which he
said Mr.. Bryan would receive
the electoral vote. They are as
follows: The solid south, 166
votes; Nebraska 8; Indiana Is;
Ohio %; West Virginia 7;Nevada
8; New York SO. Total 261. Nee
essary to choice 242. The vice
chairman put Wisconsin in the
doubtful column.
| The Idaho Republican plat
form declares for County Local
Option and against Direct Prim-
ary. So if you vote for Fox or
Baker, you vote for men who are
pledged by State platform for
County Local Option and against
Direct Primary. Direct Primary
was voted down by the Republi-
can state convention held in
Boise last month, and We'll bet
that the Hon. Jim Brady who
speaks in Challis tonight, will
tell our people that he is for the
, Direct Primary. We challenge
any Republican to deny that the
, Direct Primary was not voted
down at the Republican state
, convention held in Boise City on
Sept. 1st, 1908. If you want the
, Direct Primary you had better
vote for Macbeth and Taylor for
they are pledged to vote for it
by their party platforms. They
are also pledged to the Two
Mile Limit law. Direct Primary
is Democratic plank both in
the state and county, and Mr.
Brady going over the state pro-
claiming for it is repudiating his
own party. Why is he endors-
ing it {? Because the people are
demanding it.
The Troy News, a Republican
newspaper, asserts that Brady
has repudiated the Republican
platform and devotes most of his
time in his public speeches in
advocating the plank of the Dem
ocratic platform favoring a dir
ect primary. The News says:
4 BOSS Brady, according to the
speeches he has made so far, has
a special batch of taffy for each
section of the state. In one
county he is for one thing and
in another county something
else, according to the way the
: voters of each county feel. This
} is what Jim Brady, the Republi-
: can boss, terms being with the
r people In no place has Mr..
: Brady stood on the Republican
e state platform, amending and
changing things to suit the oc-
h casion. In Troy the Republican
s nominee, in order to get with the
people, borrowed the direct pri-
e mary plank from the Democratic
e state platform, and stood on it
e to the exclusion of everything
: else. In fact both he and Con-
e gresham French got onto this
a Democratic plank and spent most
/, of their time telling the people
what an excellent measure it is.
= And incidentally convinced ev-
: erybody that the Republican
e party of Idaho turned down the
most important measure ever
t before the people of this state.
( All RepuollcanS VINO oeIleNe
S what Mr.. French and Mr.. Brady
e said about direct primary legis-
S lation ought to be consistent
enough to vote the Democratic
n ticket this fall, and send Demo
r cratic members to the legisla-
J. ture. 1t is the first time in our
+ life that we have found Con-
n gresham French stealing from
r the Democratic party in order to
j. get something to stand on before
# the people. But he is doing it.
n This ought to convince the vot-
n ers that the Democratic platform
% contains some mighty good
It things. Both French and Brady
