Officer Witham captured prize.
Friday afternoon, i'm the shape of an
old horse which he found wandering
about Water street. in the vicinity of
the federal building. The animal Wore
no halter or harness. and seemed per-
fcctly willing to be guided anywhere
by anyone who should take the trouble,
and after giving him drink of water
st tn, Baker fountain officer Witham
led bin up Water street and over the
liver to the Delano stable. to await
q claimant. The horse was not an an
imal of high degree, and if he had
seen better days they were many years
back. He was originally, perhaps
black in color and might have stood,
1872 when in his prime, but that is a
matter of conjecture. One noticeable
feature regarding the animal was his
docility, and his manifest inclination
to stand without hitching for an in
definite period. Later in the after
noon the owner called for the animal
and took him home.

Chance in Modern Life.

The old tradition that womans work
was in the home, and only in the home,
is dying, and dying with swiftness;
slaughtered numerically by the mod
ern industrial system which has suck
ed away from the home all those in
dustries that once were carried on
there-the picking, the weaving, the
baking, the brewing, the spinning. All
these were once home trades at which
women of almost all ranks earned
their daily bread; they may not, as
housewives, have been actually paid
for their toll in money-as matter
of fact I do not imagine that they Oft
en- were-but they certainly earned
the keep, the board, lodging and al
lowance dealt out to them by the hus-
bands who were at the same time
their employers. 1t was their labor
which helped to make of the average
home a self-supporting institution,
place of business as well as place
to dwell inELondon Mail.

Without doubt the finest official re-

bears the authorization of Commission
er Rich, though it is understood to be
mostly the work of his gifted second in

in plan and in text. The book is pro-
fusely illustrated, in color and in black,
and from cover to cover it tells of but
one thingIdaho the biggest and best
and most beautiful of all the states.
Such book was not written or printed
on a salary, for so much per page; it
wasn't the perfunctory produce of an
appointee who had to write book be-
cause his predecessors did---only one
with trained enthusiasm and a sin
cere belief in the state could ever do it.
Prof. Jones has seen more in Idaho in
his five years here than some men who
have grown three feet of Idaho moss Or
whiskers; and his book tells itl 1t is
