Idaho consists Of number Of hopeful
but lonesome communities bound to-

the largest States IN area, but Is 50
sparsely settled by railroad depots that
when a statesman IN a northern county
wishes TO visit his constituents In the
southern part Of the state he has to
change cars four times and borrow a
right OF way through two neighboring
States to get there. Thanks to the tel

Ihadens speak the same dialect. eat
the same kinds Of breakfast food, and

Idaho has 5000 square but by no
means nat miles and has $4,000 people,
or one for each quarter section How
ever, more than 1000 OF these people
are crowded together in Boise, the cap

have raassed together in Pocatelio, Lew

He Knows Better Now.

A story as remarkable as it is unique
is reported from town out in Indiana
where the domestic happiness of a fam
lily was wrecked by the criticism on the
part of the husband of a pair of white
shoes which the wife had bought for
the adornment of her shapely feet She
alleges she made the purchase for the
sole purpose of pleasing her hubby
After putting them on she eagerly
placed her foot in a position which
would attract his attention. But, 50 she
AYERS, all these wifely maneuvers were
in vain. The man saw the white shoes.
Instead Of saying, as he was in duty
bound, that they looked perfectly stun
ning." he uttered many cruel things
about white shoes in general and the
character of the class of women who
were foolish enough Gin fact, he even
used a stronger word) to wear them
Worse still, the unfeeling wretch threat
ened to put them in the stove.
OF course, that was more than the
best of wives could stand She sought
relief from such brutality from the
courts; and the judge-well, he was a
married man-quite naturally grant
ed her the divorce. Indeed, he was wise
in his generation. He understood per-
fectly we'll that no woman ever could
forgive such an afront He realized
that there was only one other thing
still worse that the misguided man
could have done (that is, from the in
jured wife's viewpoint), and that was
not to have noticed the shoes at all.
Well, no doubt, women are strange
creatures, where such matters are con-
cerned A fellow may do all sorts of
things and his wife will be the first to
forgive him. He may come home late,
stay out all night, play poker at a loss,
fail to remember her birthday, put let
tiers into his pocket instead of mailing
them, ct cetera, ad inhnitum, without
exhausting her supply of kindhearted-
ness. But let her get a new hat that
she believes is becoming, or a new dress
that she is sure is Stunning" and look
pleased and expectant, when he re-
turns home from the city, and If by
any mischance he fails to notice the
change in her appearance, God help the
poor wretch

The Class Of TAmorroW.

1t is pleasing to the eye to see our
sehoolboys march BY each spring in
their blue jackets or khaki, and it is
questionable whether our communities
fully realize all that this implies. No
body with half an excuse even pretends
to be at work during the time it takes
the parade to pass by Windows and
other coigns of vantage are full of
spectators, the greater part Of whom
quite naturally consists Of the dear
girls, to whom nothing is quite so att
tractive as a uniform and glittering
bayonets or swords.
Lat army men be the judges of the
pageant from a military point of view.
But you may be sure that it is the
schoolgirls who,' at the annual drills,
pass judgment, and each picks her very
own hero. Our concern is with the high
school lads in the lump. There is the
embryo student, the future leader, the
coming athlete of the college diamond
or the varsity crew. There are nu-
merous nationalities and types, Hebrew,
Celt Teuton, or Latin admixtures to
Yankee blood.
1t is the great middle class Of to-
morrow that is seen from the curbs,
pleased with or indifferent to the stare
of the public, proud or prim, anxious or
stolid, dignifed or shy. They stir an
interest, as they march by out of pro-
portion to their numbers and their
years. Why? Because it is realized
what discipline, drill, cleanliness, and
attention to duty mean to the man of
tomorrow"
How valuable this is to the boy when
he has reached the age of starting the
real battle of life has been amply dem
onstrated. He has been taught to be
a man in the struggle that concerns all
of Us more than national or interna-
tional disputes. Should the hour ever
arrive when his native land will have
to call upon him to uphold the Union,
it will find him not only ready and pa
triotic, but able, trained, and well
drilled to assume his share in the de-
fense of his country.
The marching of our boys infuses a
purer air into the haste and stress of
the eeaseless attempt to gain our daily
bread. 1t reminds as of our own
youth, for they are as once we were!

From the Medical Journal
The question has again been raised as
TO whether the increase in the frequency
Of appendicitis in recent years may not
be due to minute articles Of iron. The
old miIlstones that ground so slowly and
ground small enough in the old days have
passed away. and II is suspected that
these particles Of iron come from the
rollers now used in grinding wheat Some
authorities suggest that these particles
find their way into the appendix wheIs
they form the nucleus OF a concretion.
