lead into that bunch over there in
Washington until the last mothers
son Of them knew at what hotel Borah
stopped, what the room number was.
how much he paid for the keep. and
how much his law practice ampunted
to here at home. Then they rot right
down off their high horse and COM

come in on this graft and on thar
proposition and the Senator said,

They sit mp and take notice every
time when one of us goes to paving
around and biting the bits. We can
use whole lot Of the eastern kind of
teachers. but we don't want them to
come out here with hot water bottle
and a piece of lightning rod. The
lightning strikes often enough here
without their rods, and nobody but
babies and real old folks have time
for the water bottle. What we want
is little less prepared breakfast foods. a
little more ham and eggs and hog
sausage and hot biscuits for break
fast, and chance to show what we
have here ana then the equilibrium
will take care Of itself.

were standing At the interurban sta
ton waiting and watching for the
Nampa car to round the corner three
blocks up main street. They were
guessing at what moment the car
would show up. They were chewing
gum, licking out their tonbues and
swapping off little bits Of cute sayings,
when one young lady proposed she
could count hundred before the car
came in sight, and after this proposal
was accepted they all shut up and here
is the hundred just as it was counted:
