MunicipaI Sale on

The Socialist Mayor of Occur D D'Alene, Idaho. who believes in carrying the poll. cles of his party to logical conclusion, is adv coating municipal saloon. His ideas of compensation seem liberal, too, as they provide for amanager at go, 900 a year, two cashiers at $85 & month cash, bartenders galore at $100 month each, a special officer at $85, and two janitors at $75 month each. This would seem to indicate that Occur D'Alene has & good.sized thirst. for it IS apparently not intended that the municipal saloon shall supplant others, but simply supplement them. If the Socialism of the future is to take over all public utilities and con- veniences the saloon will necessarily be come a municipal institution. This sounds little strange as yet to Eastern ears, but, these are rapid days. and it may be that Idaho is simply blazing the way which we are all to follow ford Post.

 The eloquent advocate, Maitre Cans once went to China with his cousin, Marcel Bipg. When they found them selves at Sinanfou. in the heart of the Celestial empire, they made the ac- quaintance of certain Ian. an under prefect, who prided himself on his lit- erarv attainments. He begged them to dine with him and served them q European repast, of which the first dish was q preserve of hot gooseber- ties. In the course of the feast he appraised them that a beautiful French novel had just been translated into Chinese. "It is," Ian explained, the history of a very honest brigand. He succors a poor unfortunate girl He is the defender of the weak, and he has much trouble to escape q gendarme who has sworn his destruction. Do Fou know this writer? He is called IgtorioT"
 "victor Hugo" corrected NJ. Cans, who with infinite perspicacity had oomprehended that the novel "Les Miserablcs" was meant.
 Perhaps" said Ian, ''it may be that I do not pronounce we'll. In China we call him Igtorio. His romance is interesting, but it is a little discon- certing. There never was an honest brigand in China. ."-Cri de Paris.

SHOOTING A DESERTER (Continued from First Page.)

that it was difficult to move, but you did move, although bullets flew thick you gained the ridge that you were after, and none too soon, as the rebs were after the same height but you opened fire and the result was the repulse of the Johnnies. Some were killed and many wounded on both sides, and you held your ground through that night and the following day.
 At about dark you moved to the right and advanced under a severe Artillery fire and built breastworks. The Johnnies kept up continuous fire. At midnight you were relieved and returned to youI old camp, reaching there about daylight. Thus ended three nights and days of marching and fighting and hard work The 9th you moved from Park Station to Warren Station, about mile distant; relieved the 10th Ohio and 9th Penn sylvania. Here we found snug log huts, and all that was necessary to make life worth living was to stretch our shelter tents over them. Here we were just west of the Weldon railroad and within ten rods of Grants railroad"
 You remember that there was tower made of timbers, about 75 it. high, for a lookout, and it was rather flimsy af- fair to climb, for the Johnniss made it target to fire at. This was near Fort Fisher, Va.
 The Johnnies kept coming in-seems as though they were all getting ready to joln our ranks, so they can get some. thing to eat. You know that some of our "videttes" used to wander out and call to the. rebel videttes Johnnie, meet me half way and swap tobacco D etc. This was frequently done. Papers were exchanged and then Look out there, Johnnie, for we're going to shoot" The truce was all off then. Many's the truce of that kind while we lay confront. ing each other during this last winter of the war.
 February 90, twenty mine rebs came in and gave themselves up to our regimen tai pickets getting to be a nightly oc- curence, and this without much blood shedding. February 21, one hundred guns on the fall of Charleston, s. O. About this time vigilance was the rule had to sleep with one eye open clothed and packed up for any emergency.

''In the Andes, half a thousand feet higher than Pike's peak, is to be found the Peruvian Garden of the Gods, ad- mired by every traveller fortunate enough to visit it." writes William V. Afford, r. +. c. S., in the Century. Tt is locally called the Rock forest, though in no sense of the word is it a forest. It simply resembles one when viewed at a distance of ten miles. The traveller may be forgiven the CT TOT of thinking it a forest as he sees 1t for the first time and forgets that he is no longer where trees grow, but within half an hours ride of the high. est city in the world. Cerro de Pasco, perched, like a condor, on the high peaks of the Andes.
 ''The Garden of the Gods in Colora- do boasts of a few spectacular rocks. But they are few in number, and tho area which they cover is not large. The Andean garden covers nearly 100 times the ground and in beauty and interest surpasses its northern coun- terpart In the same ratio."

Huntina In Russia.

Nearly all the dogs used in hunting wild animals in Russia not only attack but endeavor to devour their quarry. With the borzoi and gontscho it is en- tirely different. At an early age they are put into training with old and ex- perienced dogs, so that they soon learn how to properly attack their adver~ sary. They are slipped three at a time after single wolf. When one of the dogs gets nearly side by side with the wolf he makes one bold spurt and with the fore shoulder strikes the wolf so that he is knocked over or else grips him by the neck. Each Of the other dogs, coming up, strikes the quarry in the same manner as he tries to rise, finally pinning him to the earth, so engaging him until the hunt CT arrives. The sportsman then either kills the animal or takes him alive. the latter being much more exciting Wide World. ......
