SWlNDLERS USE OLD TRICK
TenderIoin Character Pays $500 for Six G,Itterins Pieces of
 Glass.

Two smooth swindlers, who posed as thieves, but were really patrons of a Market street dealer in cheap jew elry, have feeced a number of Ten derloin characters of large sums of money in the last two weeks through applying modern methods to an old trick. One of their victims, William Snyder, proprietor of resort in North Ninth street, has appealed to the police for the arrest of the men, in hopes of recovering the $500 they got from him for six pieces of glass, which he mistook for diamonds.
 At the suggestion of the swindlers Snyder took two of the diamonds to a pawnbroker, who offered to lend him $350 upon them. Snyder has, tened back to where the swindlers were waiting and said that he would buy the six for $500. But one of the rogues, pretending to suspect that Snyder had carried information to the police, snatched the two stones from his hand and moved as though determined to depart.
 Snyder, fearing to lose the chance to buy the diamonds, hastily bor- rowed $500 and gave it to the strangers. In return, they handed him six glittering pieces of glass. It was not long after their departure that Snyder discovered that he had been swindled.-Philadelphia North American.

The Idaho legislators on
the republican side have re-
pudiated two planks in the
last state platform of the par
ty, that for constitutional
prohibition, and for a railway
commission. The result
shows that members of the
legislature, who are county
representatives and not tied
to the tail of a state ticket,
will not be bound by plat
form promulgated by the can
candidates on a state ticket
and the state central commit
tee. We believe that they
are right in assuming this pc
sition, because they may be
compelled other wise to mis-

was granted by the Legislature allows
The people to vote on the question OF
whether or not they want division
Fhe first step necessary Will be to
file petition with the governor sign
ed by 800 tax payers within the pro-
posed new county. On receipt of this
petition the governor will appoint d
board of three commissioners whose
duty it will be to arrange for the
election, and at this election only the
people of the new county will be al
lowed to vote. At the same time
they vote for division they will also
vote on the site desired to be the
county seat, and the result of theil
ballot will decide the matter. Only
those people residing in the new
county will be allowed to vote a

The Idaho legislature will
adjourn tor morrow night. As
the fate of many bills, some
of which are meritorious, is
still pending at this writing,
it is impossible to make a just
comparison Of the work Of
this session with that of the
last or any of the preceding
sessions. It is apparent, how
ever, that this session has
been long on appropriations
for bridge and road building
and the creation Of new coun-
ties. The making of four or
more new counties ought to
please the democrats as it will
afford places for quite a num-
Der of the hungry ones
throughout the state. Prob
ably more freak bills have
been introduced at this ses-
sion than at any previous
one, but they have practically
all been killed. This session
will go down in history as
having enacted the most
drastic liquor law ever placed
upon the statutes of any state
in the union up to this time
BY the strict enforcement O
this law it will be able to de-
termine to just what degree
the sale and consumption o
liquor can be decreased il
this state. While it may pu
a stop to the sale of liquor i
soft drink establishments,
will not stop the mail orde
trade, but rather increase
and the proprietors of TIL
wholesale liquor houses
in Utah can ask for nothin
better than to have this la
retained on the Idaho sta

How to Banish Wrinkles Quickly

(Froml Guide to Beauty)
 If the average woman only knew 1t, it is not so difficult to preserve the youthful contour and velvety smooth- ness of complexion. Every woman hates to see her face wrinkled or baggy, and practically every one has experimented with some sort of pat ent remedy in the effort either to re- move such condition or ward 1t off.
 As a matter of fact the most effec- tive remedy in the world Is one that any woman can easily make up her self at. home. in moments time. Let her take one ounce of pure pow dered saxolite, which she can purchase at any drug store. and dissolve 1t in half pint of witch hazel. Apply this refreshing solution to the face every day. The results are surprising and instantaneous. Even after the very first application marked improve ment is apparent. The wrinkles are less ins evidence and the face has a comfortable. snug feeling of firmness that is most delightful.

Perhaps we've been mistaken all the time.
 Perhaps flirting isn't the awfully repre- hensible practice we've been taught to believe.
 Perhaps it's not only NOT dangerous. as some claim, but quite relaxing-a kind of "parlor game" at which two can play with 'near-heafts and the end of it all is merely-dversion
 At least this is what Boston school teacher who after 49 years of arduous duties in the school room has come to realize when she was skirmishing about for pleasant relaxation for a tired mind
 She says to the school teachers around her:
 ''Try little harmless irritation with some nice people with whom you are ac- quainted."
 The lady's statement is involved to a degree.
 Now, anybody knows perfectly well that you can't f1irt with nice people," Nice people don't f1irt!
 But nice person--well that's a differ ent proposition altogether
 If there is safety in numbers in matters like this, interest pals and the diversion assumes the stagnating dullness of a

becca Harding Davis, whose literary work was also well known. A charming sketch of the family appears in the account of the Farrar-D Davis wedding which was given this week in Town and Country magazine thus:
 The romance which had it's beginning when the Rev. Percival Farrar first came to Philadelphia many years ago was cul- minated last Thursday The bride is the daughter of the late l.. Clark Davis, one of the best known opponents of the older school of journalism. He first became editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger when it was owned by the late George Washington Childs. MT, Farrar came to this country the protege of the dis tlngulshed publisher and lived with him at the large white marble mansion on the corner of Walnut and Twenty-second streets It was in those days that visitors at this delightful home were presented with teacups as souvenirs. He acted as secretary to MT. Childs and Mir Davis and it was then that the friendship for his chiefs daughter began. He returned to England and later went into the church. He is now rector of the church at Sandringham and private chap lain to King George and Queen Mary. Mrs. Farrars mother was the late Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, who wrote most interesting books, many dealing with life in the south, and numerous magazine articles. Although she is an interesting and cultivated woman, Mrs. Farrar has developed talents as musician rather than writer. She Is as confirmed a first nighter' as either of her brothers, Mir. Charles Belmont Davis or MT. Rich ard Harding Davis, and is as enthusi- astic over private views and picture gal leries as concerts of various descrip- tions. The fascinating Davis home, with It's curlos, wonderful library and objects dart, is still maintained on Twenty first street, although since her parents death she has passed most of the time abroad and has lately been living in Dres- den in the environment she loves so well. The Davis family, when children, went to the little school which Dr. Horace How ard Furness instituted in his home on Washington Square for his children and their friends and had the privilege of learning their first lessons at his knees.
