The Great Art of DyInc.

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of man.
"A mountain guide-whose name the
London Daily Mall does not mention
in narrating the story of his heroism-
with two others, was leading a party
Dver one of the most dangerous passes
Df the higher Alps.
The men, as is usual, were tied to-
gether by long rope. As they scaled
b wall of ice they slipped on the
edge of frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with 1t, his experienced eye
told him, there was none. With In
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how 1t happened, Ed
Inond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.

My friend I know you think OF me
Now that the Christmas time draws
near,
When lights will CLEAN upon the tree
And all our world be filled with cheer.
I know you think of me, for
Am thinking all the while of you
Now, here's plan that we might try
With the gift-giving we would do.
Suppose, instead of sending me
The gift which even now you plan,
You go and find where there may be
A child, woman or a man
To whom the good Saint may not come
Unless by you personifed-
Some one who. patient worn and numb,
Looks at the future weary-eyed.
Suppose l. too. find such a one
Some eager little girl or boy
Whom poverty has robbed of fun,
Who does not have a doll or top
And you give as you'd give to me
To those who sit and wait and sigh
And dream of pleasures that might be:
Suppose you do-and SO will /.
know the gift that might send
Would fail to rouse the slightest glow
OF cheer within your heart, my friend.
If you knew that some one had woe,
Some one who had no Joy nor mirth
Nor dancing shadows on the wall
For Christmas is of little worth
Unless 1t comes to one and ALL
so let us make each other gifts
Give that which sanctifes the soul:
The kindness that bends and lifts
The sorrowing and makes him whole,
And 1t may be that He whose Day
1t is that thus we celebrate
Will blot some sin of ours away
From on the book kept at the Gate.

SALOON MEN WILL HELP
DRYS In CANYON COUNTY

From what appears to be wholly re-

that in the event of local option cleo
ton in Canyon county this fall. that
Boise liquor men will take a hand.
They have had fat picking for the two
years past and have no desire to lose
it. They figure that it will be close
fight and with liberal expenditure of
money they can keep the county in the
dry column. One big dealer has openly
said that he will give a thousand dol
lars. At first thought it might seem
strange that liquor dealers would make
large donations for what would appear
to be the temperance cause, but it is
really business proposition. Neither
Is it new except as to this locality. In
the older states the same thing has hap
pened thousand times. When Iowa
was about to repeal state wide prohi-
bition the brewers of Chicago and Mil
waukee kept big lobby at the capital
and spent many thousands of dollars
in vain effort to head off the repeal
of the law. When it was made publ,
that under the protection of The inter
state commerce law - brewers had
shipped h1naaTeds of carloads of beer
INTO >4owa the previous year their mo
tive in spending money in the cause
of temperance was quite apparent. The
many thousands of dollars which have
gone to Boise from Nampa, Caldwell
and other towns of the county during
the past two years offer full explana

activity on the part of Boise liquor
