MAYORS SECRETARY BOOSTS
CANDIDACY OF P. p. HAND

The boom of Pitt P. Hand for in
dependent candidate for supervisor OF
the Fifth district gained momentum
yesterday. The sentiment in favor OF
his candidacy became crystallized in
Herbert D. Kennedy, the stepfather OF
Glendale and warm friend of Hands
No one can leave the warm embrace
of Kennedy without a fat, black cl-
ear in his face and a pledge to vote
for Hand for supervisor, If he lives
in the Fifth district If he does not
live in the district he is pledged to
induce his friends who do live there
to east their ballots for Hand.

NEW POSTAL RULING

La the past this paper has made q
practice of sending statements to
subscribers only when 1t was neces-
sary and then we tried to word the
statement in such language that no
one could take offense OF feel that
they were being misused or 'duned"
We have seldom issued statement
for payment of subscriptions
through the paper and then only
since the late action of the postal
department.
But during the past week we
have sent to all delinquent sub
scribcrs a statement of their sub
script ION urging them to re nit at
once, or we would be forced to drop
them from the list. We are not
taking this action because we do
mot care to extend edit, or carry
your account longer, but because
rhe law has stepped in and com
PEELED us to Gle an up our books and
put them on a strictly cash basis if
we wish to secure the benefit of
mailing privileges accorded cour 'ry
papers. We have carried some few
subscribers until they are owing us
more than $40, without complaint,
but those we have dropped from the
dist, which goes to show that we
have not unwillingly given credit.
Now, st fhis time we are COM
peeled to either collect in advance
soI discontinue your subscription we
expect you to be equally courteous
as we have been in the past and re-
init that we may continue issuing a
paper of the present high standard
sof the Maverick. If you are unable
TO pay the full amount due us your
mote will be accepted and credit
given for amount represented. If
you do not want the paper and de-
sire to nave it stopped, remit what
you are in arrears with request to
discontinue and your name will be
taken from the list, but do not
go TO the postotfice and refuse it
after your bill has run up TO five
or six dollars and ieei that you
can escape payment OF same. To
such we say that we mean to col
ect the account if there is any pos
sisae means under the provisions oil
She law We trust that all who
have not re nitted will do SO before
the next issue for al that time we
are going to strike ali from the list
that are in Arrears and consider
this due notice to that effect

That it happened two weeks ago

That the ride he took through the
streets of Mountain Home would
have made Paul Revere sick with
envy if he could have stood on the
Hotel Evans corner and watched
Osborne's coat tails cracking in

accelerated, con spirito movement.
That it happened partly because
Mr.. Osborne wanted to show the
I young lady from Boise some real
horsemanship and partly because of
( the skittish, almost prudish dis
! position of the horse.
And when the horse, bubbling
over with nervous excitement and
pride of its rider, finally took the
bit in lis teeth and darted down the
street, Osborne grimly stuck as
closely to his seat as circumstances
would permit, for many dizzy daz-
zilng blocks, until coming to
ditch near the fair grounds, the
horse thoughtlessly and suddenly
stopped, leaving its rider still trav-
cling at the rate of some forty-odd
miles an hour, to strike the ground
in what ever position he thought
advisable. Fortunately ne landed
on his feet and it was but the work
of an instant to take fresh gay,
carefrce smile from his handbag,
spread it over his face and ride back

perfect safety.

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out a FsW
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS a matter of fact, it is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year. and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he flirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal. forge, embezzle,
burgle or fight Sun.

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
With Eczema-Her Limb Peeled and
Foot Was Raw-Thought Amputa-
tion Was Necessary-Believes
Life Saved by Cuticura.

81 have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and 1 had to walk on crutches.
1 bought set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies
might have lost my life. Mrs. ]. B.

Sensible to the Last.

An old Scotch woman used to bs
attended by a doctor to whom she in
variably gave a guinea when he went
to see her. He had told the friends
with whom she lived that her death
would probably be sudden, and one
day he was hurriedly sent for, as she
appeared to have become unconscious.
On his arrival he saw at once that she
was dead, and, taking hold of her
right hand, which was closed but not
rigid, he calmly extracted from it the
fee which she had provided for him.
and as he did so, he murmured:
Sensible to the last"
