HER NEWSPAPER DAD.
He Isn't Always Cross; Sometimes He
10 Positively Jubilant.

Newspaper daddies' are funny,
think. Mines one. He's funniest at
breakfast, only it isn't breakfast,
cause it's lunch, and that's another
funny thing about it.
Where's 'smornin's paperY he asks
mamma the first thing when he comes
downstairs. And then when she looks
sort Of childishly at him cause he's a
little gruff he hurries up and says,
Good morning, everybody" just as
though he felt kinda 'shamed Of him
self
And then he won't talk when he gets
his old paper. He just sticks his nose
into it and looks at one page after an
other just as fast as he can, and then
be begins all over again and does it
slower and keeps still for quite awhile.
Then mamma and l wait for an ex-
plosion.
"Ijitsr' he says. "They couldn't spell
cat right"
Then he goes chasing from one page
to another as fast as ever he can, talk
ing to himself, and when he's got real
mad he shouts at mammal: 'They
buried it! See. They buried it back
there-way back there, Of course, and
it's the best story in the paper~
Then mamma says, quiet, like calm
after storm, Come, dear, your cof-
fee IL get cold"
But he's more like a bear than a
dear, and he doesn't come, but he
keeps on growing at the old paper. l
guess he finally gets tired of himself,
too, and then he ,.Hlps up, throws the
paper on the cha. 'and tries to dodge
mammals funny smile.
Mammals awfully patient, think,
and she never gets mad, but just smiles
and smiles at daddy when he gets cross
at things. Sometimes she asks him
why he wants to keep on being a news
paper man If it's so awful One time
he answered and said it was because
if he kept on working sixteen hours a
day maybe the Office would some time
give him as much as the stereotyper
gets for working eight hours a day.
Mamma said that was sarcasm. l guess
ne tnlnKS sarcasm must De gOOQ tnlng
for the Office, cause he most always
talks that way about it
But newspaper daddies aren't always
cross. Sometimes mine hurries down
stairs a whole lot earlier, and then
when he grabs the paper he smiles all
over and shouts at mamma:
"See that story? That's a clean SCOOP
and a bully one! That's worth living
the old Bugle feel sore, thought
II tell you," he says then, zone day
like that is worth bicycle. of Cathay,'
whatever that is.
And then mamma looks at me and
smiles, cause we both think he's fun
ny sometimes.-Des Moines Qa.) Reg.

No Need of Thsm Some Day.

At monthly examination boy Of
fourteen failed to spell 10 per cent Of
his words correctly. The tutor told
him this was surprising and must not
happen again. The boy replied that he
thought he had done pretty well on
the whole.
you must study those words over
and over again." replied the tutor.
This must not occur at any future
time. Study them 80 that you can re-
member them forever"
The boy stood still In silent contem-
plation for a few moments and then
remarked:
Il was just thinking that wouldn't
live that long. "-Harper's Weekly.

AN ISLAND IN THE AIR.
Ono Of the Wonders Of Prehistoric
Pueblo Archite cture.

Ono of the Wonders Of Prehistoric
Pueblo Architsct ure.
Three miles south of the Mesa En-
cantada, in Mexico, is q splendid speci-
men of fantastic erosion-an island"
in the air, rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless great bays,
notched with dizzy chasms. The great
er part of the island overhangs the sea
like a huge mushroom, and on the top
stands town which for artistic charm,
chronological interest and romantic his
tory has no peer.
This little town Of Ancoma is one Of
the most perfect types of the prehis-
tOric Pueblo architecture. Most Of the
houses remain Of the type invented
when every house must be fort One
climbed ladder to his first roof and
pulled up the ladder at night, living
on the second and third floors and
using the ground floor as a cellar.
Against enemies armed only with bows
and arrows this was a fair defense
Comfort had to be sacrificed to safety.
Nothing except the eagle sought such
inaccessible eyries as these victims Of
their own civilization.
Because they were farmers instead
Of freebooters, because they had homes
instead Of being Migrants, they were
easy to find, and they were the prey Of
a hundred nomad tribes. With incon-
ceivable labor this island town In the
air was built and fortified. 1t was
reached only by mere trail of toe
holes up the stem of the mushroom. !"
The age of the island is not known,
except that 1t was already old in 1910,
when the first explorer visited it and
wrote an account of its wonders.

Let Us Have the Trail.

The board of county commissioners
of Idaho county have been petitioned by
the people of these mountain mining
districts to appropriate sum of money
to be used to help build trail along
the south fork of the Clearwater river,
opening a way for travel on a water
grade from Orogrande, in the heart of
mining districts, to Harpster, on the
edge of the prairie. Practically all of
the county will receive benefit by the
trail to be made, and this paper believes
that if the members of the county board
are the broad-minded men of affairs it
believes they are, the appropriation will
be made if it is within their power to
do it. Argument is not necessary to
convince any person that what the min
ing districts need worst of all is more
roads and better roads, more trails and
better trails-better facilities for trans
portation to and from the railroad.
The trail makes way for road. All
but about eight miles of the trail is
finished now, and the small sum neces-
sary to complete the trail and make it
serviceable should not be permitted to
put off the benefit to be had any longer
than is really necessary.
Let's have that trail

Private ThsatricaIs.

In some private theatricals fugitive
from justice was supposed to escape
from his pursuers by concealing him

small, and the terrified fugitive was
somewhat lengthy.
The commander of the pursuing par

the legs OF the man he was searching

audience by exclaiming In true dra-

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
When It Rains.

When it's raining, raining, raining,
And the heavens wear frown
And dreary, dripping mantle
Wraps the water laden town,
That the time when LIES worth living
If you have a safe retreat
Where no worldly cares may enter
And your rest is passing sweet.
When it's raining, raining, raining,
That's the time to creep away
To a pleasant little bower,
Dreaming out the livelong day,
Building airy fairy castles,
Golden castles in the air,
Though they tumble in the building,
Those who build will not despair.
When it's raining, raining, raining,
Sunny souls will not complain,
For the CHEEKY, CHEEKY freight
Makes a blessing of the rain.
Though the icy drops may patter
And the wind howl in the trees,
They recall fond recollections
To the dreamer at his ease.
When it's raining, raining, raining,
And the world is cold and wet,
That's the time old solid comfort
Helps fellow to forget.
For there's nothing more enchanting,
When the day glooms drearily,
Than to watch the freight dancing,
With your fancy roaming free. .

The Kooskia Mountaineer man pleads
for someone to tell him who these
common people" are he hears so much
about. That's within reason; they are
divided into two classes those that are
continually electing the wrong men to
office, and forever and everlastingly
kicking about it, and those who are try
ing to get an office and can't. The
Mountaineer editor wants to speed up
or he'll get run over.

The boys at the Buster mine have
organized base ball team, and a chal-
lenge from them to the business men of
the town for game on Fourth of
July has been accepted. A single game
of base ball will not make Fourth of
July celebration any more than one hat
make an Easter or one robin spring,
so it ought to be up to the business men
and citizens right now to begin arrange
ments for rousing Fourth of July cele-
bration in Elk City this year.

The political fathers of the republica

The political fathers of the republican
party in this county, commonly called
the county central committee, met in
Grangeville Saturday and named dele
gates to the Wallace convention, where
Idaho's representatives to the national
convention will be selected. A most
beautiful custom, Mr.. Voter; it lifts an
awful responsibility from your should
ers, and the charitable politician feels
that the honor attached to his position
fully recompenses society for saving
you time and the wear and tear on your
nerves and disposition, if the scheme
was to be carried out in any other wayl

Vast Area of Mineral Deposit.
Let's have that trail.

The rich strike in quartz on Four Mile
creek last week and the rush of pros
pectors to the place adds another min
ing territory to the many rich districts
already known in central Idaho, and it
incidentally calls attention to the fact,
well-known, but so often overlooked,
that central Idaho is a vast territory
full of mineral wealth, and the surface
so far as prospecting goes has scarcely
been scratched. This is something hard
to explain when the age of the Elk dis
trict is taken into consideration, in the
face of the fact that quartz mining has
been given attention only in recent
years, and that by prospectors who had
not the means to do the development.
Central Idaho, it seems, particularly
the Elk district and territory adjacent
to it, would profit greatly from min
ing boom of the character that has at
tracted capital to Nevada and has de-
veloped and proven the mindral re-
sources of that state. Compared with
central Idaho in natural resources the
districts in Nevada that have had their
booms are skinned country block.

If the fats and the leans now would

Judging from the number of voters in
the south part of the state who have
declared for LaFollette for president,
the Wallace convention should deliber-
ate long, but not earnestly, before it
instructs. Make bluff, anyhow.
