wheels went past MN slowly ana then
more slowly and as the engine passed the
man inside waved an arm at Billy.
Then the engine stopped-just fifteen
feet from the burnt ties. Immediately
the train officials and dozen or more
passengers were on the ground inquiring
into the reason of the stop. Billy ran to
where the engineer stood and pointed to
the burnt ties. Then it was that he
became a hero. He never quite recol-
lected how it was that he SO suddenly
became the center Of an excited group,
and why so many men grasped his hand,
following the act of the engineer and
conductor. He only knew that he was
feeling bit cold for want of his shirt,
which was now blackened cinder.
Well, the conductor took him into the
train, declaring that he would carry him
to town, and from there send him home
in taxicab. When Billy demurred, he
shook his head in determined way,
saying:
young Teller, and if an airship was to be
had we'd send you home in that with
flying colors.
At about six o'clock Billy's mother.
who had been looking for her son for
some time, and who was becoming very
anxious over his prolonged absence, saw
taxicab turn into the yard. She opened
the door and stepped upon the porch, just
as Billy alighted, smiling but slightly
pale. He was now passing the reaction
period of the afternoons excitement.
"Why, Billy, child" cried his wonder
ing mother, show did you come to be in
that town taxi?"
Mother, I've only done little thing
saved the fast express from possible
accident-a and incidentally burnt up my
shirt" And Billy opened the front of
his coat, to his mothers further surprise
and horror. Come, mother, it's nothing,
l assure you. III tell you all about it as
soon as Pm dried out. And he sought
the kitchen fire.
1t was fifteen minutes later that Billy's
father came in and was told all about the
brave act of his son, and just as they
were talking it over a messenger iii an
other taXicab from town came tearing
into the yard. He came from the Rail-
road Company, and had some very good
things to say to Billy, the boy who had
at least saved them a heavy loss if not
the lives of passengers. And after the
messenger had departed, with promise
from Billy and his father to come into
town on the morrow and to pay visit to
a prominent officer of the Railroad Com
pany, Billy turned to his mother and
said: Mother, have l decent shirt to
wear on this propitious occasion?' And
his mother patted him tondly on the head
and said:
81 daresay, son, that after your visit
to the officers of the railroad you'll for
get your last shirt. They're going to
spoil you, fear"
"A boy like ours couldn't be spoiled"
declared Billy's father And he spoke
the truth, for Real Hero cannot be
spoiled or fattered And the Railroad
Company insisted on doing very hand
some thing for Billy, against the modest
young fellows wishes, and he might
have bought the town out of shirts after
that without feeling the loss to his
pocketbook.

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any dis

keep this balance up. When people begin to

debility. The system needs a tonic, Graves it.

THE TUG.

The liner-she's lady; that's the reason why.
no doubt,
She always needs assistance gettin' in an get
tin out,
She can't come up the river an she dassn't
dock alone
So she whistles for tugboat in most implor-
in tone,
An the tugboat takes the hawser an goes puff
fin up the stream,
With his stack a smokin' lively an his engine
splitting steam,
Then he swings her an he pulls her-like a
cowboy drivin' stock,
An he hasn't got no manners-but he gifts her
to the dock
He's short an stout an chunky
Like fat old goat,
An he amt no liners f1unky,
He's free-lance boat;
Yet it's easy, when you view him,
An you hear him pant,
To see there amt much to him
But his power plant
When there's any job to tackle he will take it
Whether TOWN. racin liners er garbage scow,
You will see him ploddin' heavy with raft of
rollin' logs,
Or q pantin' down the harbor with barge of
squealin' hogs,
With string of empty lighters er a ship from
round the Horn,
With fleet of pleasure barges er freighter
full of corn.
He yanks them through the river an his husky
whistle blows
As he tells the other steamer to be lookin'
where he goes.
His captain is teller
That is all there too,
An there amt streak of yeller
In the tugboat's crew;
What they promise they stand pat on
An if paid the rate,
They tow the whole Manhattan
To the Golden Gate.
The Tug-he bucks the river when it's full of
grndin' ice,
An when there's trade to handle, why, you
needn't call him twice,
Fer he's there ridin' combers maybe fifty
miles at sea
An he doesn't stop fer danger when he's look
in fer fee;
He's a little giant helper, he's the live wire of
the port,
He's very nervy, nifty shorter an sport,
He's the snubby-nosed exploiter of the chances
of the game
there just the same.
If there's any Job to rustic,
Any chance to take,
You'll see the tugboat hustle
Like his gauge would break;
Two hundred pounds of steam on
Make his engines throb,
He's busy little demon
An he's on the job!

Magazine.

of the Taxpayers league OF Ada
county told me that the tax on
some farm lands in his county
amounted to as much as VIZ pei

amounted to$3 per acre upon mucf
of their lands. OF course the irri
gated land down here, under inten
siye cultivation, would naturally
be valued higher than ours, but ]
seems that some of their assess

in having such great mileage o

STRONGEST MAN
Not Only in the North But Also In The
Central and Southern Part
Of Idaho.
TAXPAYERS LEAGUE FOR TAYLOR
Special Session Preparing to Remedy
the Tax Problem.


l.
Dear Sir:
| feel that it might be OF interest
for our citizens to know something
of the sentiment in this portion OF
the state, regarding the candidacy
of State Auditor Taylor for the
Governorship. After talking with
a great many members of the legls-
lature and others from. different
parts of the state, | can say that
Mr.. Taylor has very strong backing
all over the southern and middle
portion of the state, as well as In
the northern or so-called "panhan-
die" portion. Some of the strong
ost men in the Republican party
here in Ada county are diligently
urging his nomination. They look
upon him as safe and competent
man fer the position and especially
well fitted to untangle the tax
"muddle" which is bound to con-
front the next administration, no
matter what action this session OF
the legislation may take.
The Taxpayers League OF Ada
county have openly endorsed him,
and expect to work for his nomina-
tion Letters from remote portions
of the state assure him of support
In my opinion he has far more
strength in the central and south
ern counties than any other north
ern man who is availa bic for the
place. and / can see no reason why
he should not also get maJoritie
in the northern counties equal t.
those which he has always bad a
candidate for Auditor. Ii ths peo
pie of the north would like to hav
one of their number head the Re
publican ticket, ! believe Mr.. Fay
lor is the man to concentrate upon
for it is the voters at the primarle
that must do it.
