Mr.. Powell was born in Yer
mont, and came West when a
young man. He first came to
Colorado where he followed min
ing for several years, then he
went to Utah. About 80 years
ago he came to Custer county,
Idaho, and most of that time has
been engaged in mining and
prospecting. He was superin-
tendent of the Skylark mine for
a number of years. About 20
years ago he moved to Challis
and purchased the Burley ranch
just west of town and fixed it up
in elegant shape. He has lived
here ever since, and was one of
our best and most highly esteem
ed citizens.
For six years was a member OF
the Board of School Trustees of
this district and was faithful
mem Der, and to a great extent 1T
was through his energies that
the present school house was
built, before the addition was put

was very fond of music. He has
often told US that he had the
pleasure of hearing Jennie Lind
sing in Boston when she first
came to America. He also heard
Daniel Webster speak.

Powell spent most Of his time

the emperOrs portrait, which can now
be seen in the Royal Art gallery III

princes and pr!ncesses wrote their

After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-fve years, her hus,

Ants as Weather Prophets

Ants as weather prophets afford
new testimony to the cleverness OF
these small animals. When you
90 out on a spring morning and
find the ants busily engaged in
clearing out their nests and drag
ging the sand and bits of earth. TO
the surface, you may be sure that
no matter how cloudy it is there
will be no rain that day, and the
probabilities are for several days OF
good weather.
If, however, YOU see the ants
about the middle Of a spring or
summer afternoon hurrying back
to the nest, and a sentinel trottlng
out in every direction looking up
stragglers and urging them to go
home as soon as they can get there,
you may figure on a rain that after
noon or night.
When the last of the wanderers
is found the picket hurries in and
the nest is securely sealed from the
inside to keep out the water. 1t
is seldom that ants are taken by
surprise by the approach of show
err. Chicago Tribune.

From the time the blank sheets are

CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.

rives For Revenge.

viii Wait Until an Opportunity ar
rives For Revenge.
The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the
ground, and the infatuated beast after
stamping on them and tearing them
asunder with its teeth goes on its
way, and the driver Is thereafter quite
safe, as 1t seems to be an axiom with
the camel that no man shall be put in
peril of life twice for one offense.
The camel Is stupid save when an
cry and then seems to become almost
preternatura in carrying out Its venge-
full designs. Palgrave relates the fol-
lowing story Of q camers revenge,
which serves to illustrate this point:
"a lad Of fourteen had conducted q
large camel laden with wood from one
village to another at q half hours dis
lance. As the animal loitered or turn
ed out of the way its conductor struck
it repeatedly and harder than it seem
ed to have thought he had a right to
do; but, not finding the occasion favor
able for taking immediate quits. 1t
'bode it's time That time was not
long IN coming
"a few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to
his own village. When they were
about halfway on the read and at
some distance from any habtatiCn the
camel suddenly stopped. looked DELHI
erately round In every direction to as
sure itself that 70 one was In sight
and, finding the road clear OF passers-
by. made step forward. seized the
unlucky boys head in its -monstrous
mouth and. lifting him up in the air
flung him down again on the earth
with the upper part Of his skull com
pletely torn of.
Having thus satisfied its revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace TO-
ward the village, as though nothing
were the matter. till some men who
had observed the whole. though unfor
tunately at too great n distance to be
ahle TO afford timely help, came UP
and killed it."-London Telegraph.
