REV. HAMILTON
TO LEAVE
Baptist Pastor Resigns to Accept
Call to, Emmett. To Leave
About June lst.

On April "a, at the morning
service, with a large attendance
of the membership present, by
unanimous vote, the church
called Rev. Dean Hamilton of
Mountain Home to the pastor
ate. The retiring pastor con-
graduates the church on their
wisdom in selecting Brother
Hamilton and hopes that he will
accept the call. Brother Ham,
ilton is filling his second pastor
ate at Mountain Home, and the
church is now moving into
their new $4,000 church build
ing, the erection of which was
accomplished through his wise
administration and loving sac
rifice. We prophesy an "ad-
vance movement" along all lines
Of church activity, should he
accept the call to Emmett. =
Idaho Baptist Awakener.
The above taken from the
official organ of the Baptist de-
nomination of Idaho, at Emmett
is self explanatory, and the
news will come as a great sur
prise to a great many in this
city outside of the church men,
bership and will be learned with
regret by a large circle Of
friends of Rev. Hamilton.
During his pastorate in Noun |
tain Home, Rev. Hamilton has
made many warm friends who
will be very sorry indeed to see
him 60 and he will be missed
by all.
Mr.. Hamilton is leaving just
when, after untiring efforts to
bring his church up to the high
est standard and to build an ed
ifice of which we may all be
proud, and which will stand as
a monument to his untiring en-
ergy, he may enjoy the success
of such efforts, and it is with
regret that we see him 60. May
he be as successful in his new
field as here.

WOMAN SMOKER LIVED LONG
Mary Firth. Highway Robber, the
Fret Of Her Sex to Use
Tobacco In England.

Mary Firth, better known as Moll
Cutpurse, was a notable figure In old
time London life. She had the repu-
tation Of being the first woman to
smoke tobacco In England.
The length of her days is disputed
point, but It seems certain that she
attained the age of over threescore
years and ten. 1t is asserted that con-
stant smoking prolonged her life. A
portrait representing her in the act Of
smoking forms the frontispiece Of
Middleton's comedy of the Roaring
Girl" She also figures in other plays
Of the period.
Mary was the daughter Of a shoe
maker living in the Barbican, and
Malone gives 1884 as the date of her
birth. She early took to wicked ways
and became noted "highwayman."
IN, ong her familiar friends were the
: s~.ious Capt. Hind and Richard
Hannah. She was an expert swords.
woman. Single-handed she robbed on
HOunslow Heath. Gen. Fairfax of 200
gold jacobuses, shooting him through
the arm and killing two Of his horses
on which his servants were riding.
For the offense she was committed to
Newgate, but on paying the general

At one time Mary had $4,000 Of

DAY OF REST AND PLEASURE
Fiiipinos of Both Sexes Make Sunday
Time Of Enjoyment-The
Market Women.

1t Is the women who market the
produce. Early each morning long
lines of these farmer wives, with great
cigars in their mouths and large bas-
kets of wares on their heads, can be
seen striding along the narrow trails
toward the capital city where market
Is held, says Manila correspondent.
Strong and happy, they wade
through the streams and the mud,
calling out to one another as they go,
and only stopping to get fresh light
for their cigars from some one of
their number or some one whom they
chance to meet. Once at market they
chat, smoke, laugh and barter for
hours over a few small tomatoes,
some green squash, live chicken,
eggs, fruit, sugar or anything they
happen to have, and toward noon they
straggle home, having had good
visit and sold or exchanged their
wares.
Sunday is the one really strenuous
day for the Filipino. 1t Is the big
market day when people come from
all the surrounding country, and it
is the time when cock-fghts are al
lowed. Men spend good share of
their time during the week in training
their pet roosters, and on Sunday,
early and late, they can be seen going
to and from the pit, carrying their
game-cocks under 'leir arms.
Excitement runs high and their JOY
GUS shouts can be heard for long
way. Some women attend the fights,
but most of them do the double duty
of attending mass and then patroniz-
Ing the market, which is just across
the street from the church. All day
Sunday they are active and excitable
but the next day they settle back into
their quiet, uneventful lives.

EASY TO DETECT RAD MONEY
Hold Bill Up to the Lignt and Exam.
Inc the SILK Threads In
the Paper.

Despite the utmost vigilance of our
efficient secret service men, the max
ing counterfeit money in this country
has not been wholly suppressed Spu
rious coins and paper tokens occasion
ally get into circulation and some OF
these are so well done as almost to
defy detection by experts.
Among the latest samples of the
counterfeiters art is a $40 bill, one of
the cleverest limitations on record A
speciment Of this issue was received
and paid out by several banks, being
regarded by all who handled it as
genuine. In time it reached the sub
treasury at New York and there its
spuriousness at once became known.
On first inspection the bill appears
to be real product of the treasury
department, but when held up to the
light the little particles of silk, which
in genuine bill are curved and
twisted in the paper, are seen to be
straight and hard A magnifying
glass shows some very slight discrep-
ancies between the face of the bill
and that of a genuine one.
Subtreasury officials state that the
bogus note was engraved by a master
in the art who may once have been
employed in the bureau of engraving
at Washington Every person who re.
ceives a $40 bill, says Leslie Week.
ly, should apply to it at least the sim
pie test above given of holding it up
to the light and noting the condition
of the silk threads.

Saloonkeepers Arrested.

Twin Falls, May 19,-"Gold and no
BOOZE" is the slogan at Jarbidge,
and the United States deputy mar
shall, accompanied with a small de-
tachment of soldiers arrived in the
mining camp and took all the saloon
men to Carson City. The charge
made on the grounds that liquor is not
permitted to be sold on forest re-
serve. One miner some time ago upon
hearing that no liquor was to be sold
there made wry face and at once
passed judgement on the place saying
no one ever heard of a mining camp
without whiskey and he did not be-
lieve they could mine without it.

he WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Good Reason for Man Sinking Home
In the Dark and Avoiding
Acquaintances.

In the small hours Of the morning a
man, carrying heavy suitcase. hur
ried down the deserted streets Of the
sleeping city. His hurried footsteps,
despite all caution, echoed in the quiet
thoroughfare. He shifted the weight
of the suitcase from one arm to the
other; he appeared nervous and every
sound caused him to start. His coat
collar was turned up and his soft felt
hat pulled well down over his watchfu
eyes.
The man was sorely tempted to risk
the owl-car, for he had far to go and
his burden was heavy, but when the
car came with It's load of boisterous
men, singing and smoking, he dared
not venture abroad Instead he picked
up the heavy suitcase and hurried
down the darkest side of the street.
Once he hurried by man who turned
and gave him a searching look. He
tried to walk on as though uninterest-
ed, but his knees shook and his brow
