CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

Sometimes / think that Christmas
nights the best.
Before the nursery fire. when we're
undressed
And all the toys are put away, ex-
cept
Perhaps my engine and the baby's
bear,
Then Mother comes away from all
the rest
Downstairs to tell our Christmas
story there.
She takes the baby on her lap and
We sit round her on the hearth-rug
so we can see
The pictures in the fire, and then
she tells
About how shepherds watched their
flocks by night
And what the angels said, and how
the three
Wise Kings came riding-and the
big stars light.
And then she tells us how 1t show
ed the way
To just stable where the oxen
stay.
And there they found Him in His
mothers arms,
A little baby Christ Child-and he
smiled;
And that (she says is what made
Christmas day
For you and me and every little
child.
Before the nursery fire when we're
undressed
Sometimes I think that Christmas
nights the best.
-Theodosia Garrison.

A NEW LAW.

After the first day of next January
If you issue check for less than
81 you will be liable to penalty un-
der the federal law. This may be
news to most people, but 1t is a
fact. The new penal code of the
United States goes into effect on the
date mentioned, and among it's pro-
visions is one which forbids under
penalty the making. issuance, circu-
lation or paying out of any note,
check, memorandum, token or other
obligation for an amount less than
81. Its presence in the bill report
ed by the committee to codify the
laws In the last congress attracted
no attention in either chamber of
that body and the measure became
federal law in the closing hours
of the final session on March A,
1903.

RESULTS FROM PUBLICITY
CAMPAIGN.

AS an indication that the publicity
seed sown at Chicago has terminated
the secretaries Of some of the COM
mercial clubs i'm southern and south
eastern Idaho report that they are
already in active correspondence
with scores of people who became
interested in the west in general
and Idaho in particular through the
medium Of the display made at the
Land and Irrigation congress. The
inquiries at Idaho Falls now number
as high as fifty a. week. And other
cities are finding active inquiry from
eastern people who visited the Chi
cago exposition. %u
The Upper Snake river country
made special effort to have rep
resentative display at Chicago, send
ing several car loads direct to the
exposition and having local men on
the ground to distribute literature
and answer questions. One special
edition of the Idaho Falls Register
of 5000 copies was sent east and
circulated among those who EVIL
denced any particular interest in
learning more about the country.
Idaho representatives in charge
Of the several displays and the pub
licity work say that Idaho made the
best individual showing of any state
that exhibited at Chicago and that
the line of personal inquiry indicated
that many were directly interested
in the development of the Gem State
and particularly In the opportunities
offered to home-seekers. Commish-
Toner of immigration Joseph Fallon
has predicted since his return that
100000 people will be attracted to
Idaho In the next year as a direct
result of the showing made at Chica-
go. and If the line of inquiry started
already Is an evidence of the inter-
est some astonishing results may
be expected.-Teller.

Important Society Organized

was organized at Boise last week,
having as its object the study of the
physical features of the state, the
correction of maps and the provision
of names. The organization is to be

OF the advisory committee to be Sc

feature of the sessions was the large
number of engineers present, indi-
eating that those who know the state
best realize most the importance of
the work which is to be undertaken.
Addresses were delivered by Gov

the work of the organization.
Mayor Pence, of Boise, delivered
the welcome address, emphasizing
the need for such a society at this
critical point in the history of the
state. He illustrated serious conflict
of names by calling attention to
those existing In several counties,

correction of maps within short
time would result In the adoption of

said in part:
''All maps of Idaho are based up

information as can be secured.

FRUIT BUDS IN GOOD SHAPE
Apples, Cherries and Pears as Yet
Unaffected by Weather.

'h11''NNe<s' ny s'O"tHfVH'
Fruit raiserS in this locality are
much encouraged over the outlook so
far. They say that the buds of cher
ries, pears and apples are in good con-
dition as yet, budded peaches having
been slightly affected by the extreme
cold of the winter. Absence of any
extremely warm weather to force
growth during this month materially
improves the prospects for a good
crop.
