pleasant smile.
Il was almost dropped with sur

out his hand and as | took it he shook
hands in strong western fashion

RELATED BY BIBLE SELLERS
Queer Things, It Appears, Are Traded
for the Books in Many For
eign Lands.

The dangers and humors of the life
OF the Bible colporters-the men and
women agents Of the British and For
eign Bible society who sell the Scrip
lures in the scattered villages of near
ly every country in the world-are
modestly recorded in the report is
sued few days ago. the London Mail
states.
In South India last year colporter
caught sight of a tiger crossing his
path. In Burma a colporter came face
to face with a leopard. In a Peru
town a Bible seller was cruelty beat
en- by fanatical opponents. In the in
surrection in Persia colporter was
arrested and charged with being eth
er spy or an assassin.
On the other hand, the colporters
have experiences which relieve the
hardships of their tasks. An old wom-
an In France bought copy because
her fancy was struck with the name
Nathaniel which occurred in a chap
ter read to her by the seller She
thought the name very pleasing, and
decided to propose it for grandson
who was not yet baptized
. Curious bargains are often struck
by these Bible sellers. Eggs are a
frequent currency. In a Roumanian
village a colporter bartered a Bible
for hen. It was very excellent
hen, so he added New Testament.
For four yards Of home made linen he
disposed of another Bible. Ten eggs
and "a lump of bacon" was the price
of one Bible in Hungarian village.
In northern Hungary a farmer gave
a live pig for a large Bible. A rsb-
bit was an exchange in one Spanish
village, and a quantity of preserved
peppers and tomatoes In another.
An Arab woman In Fee insisted on
giving her silver ring for Bible, and
at neighboring village Gospel was
exchanged for a pail of water for the
colporter's horse. In Korea payment
was taken in potatoes. These the
colporter traded for rice in a market
ten miles away. The rice provided
him with food for several days. In
another village a man, too poor to pay
in coin, bartered vine, the inner bark

There is said to be an old church
near Berlin, Germany, which is ve.y
attractive to tourists. The graveyard
back of the church Is kept locked but
on the gate is the following notice:

nephew.
The old man looked at him with pa

"She's WE'LL" he grumbled. "But,

room which had been fitted up as his,
cousins boudoir-"you'd better try
your fortune again. Now listen to me
and don't be a fool. Do you see
Ephraim in that corner?"
At the sound of his name the parrot
gave an uneasy squawk beneath the
cloth which covered his house.
"Why, yes, uncle"
well, he loves her now"
What? Dorothys been making

young man incredulously. "Why, I'M.

And do you know what that means,

When he was left alone Frank lifted

squawked in shrill protest.

The proposition to make a pas
sage under the. railroad at the
foot Df. college avenue, to accom-
modate the travel from the new
bridge. is impracticable, as the
track is too low, and a cut would
have to be made that would
have deep water in it a large
part of the year. We are not
steering the matter of making the
approach to the bridge from the
north side Of the river, but it looks
like our county authorities should
get busy (if they have not
already done 500 and arrange for
a right-of-May and crossings over
the railway tracks. as there is no
county road leading to the north
end Of the bridget we are cor
rectly informed. II may be that
this is a proper matter for the
village authorities to take up, but
it makes no difference whose
duty it is, it should be attended to

The action of the convention
of'assessors and county commits
sioners, at Sand Point, which de-
cided to have the timber lands Of
North Idaho cruised and their
values estimated, meets with our
approval. While the work will
be- costly, it will settle the ques-
ton that is brought up annually,
and we believe in the end will
simplify the work in the assessors
office. But the appraisment Of
lands by a board Of competent
men should not stop at the edge
Of the timber. II should take in
the agricultural and grazing lands
as well. There is as much differ
ence in values put on agricultural
lands as there is in those fixed on
the timber tracts. The method
heretofore used has been an arbi-
trary one, and values have not
been based, on the producing
power Of the land, but have been
fixed to suit the within of the man
who listed the property, and who
id hundreds Of cases never saw it.
T6wn property values should also
be fixed by competent board in
order that lots would be taxed
according to their values on the
market. Have the whole country
appraised and the values fixed
for purposes Of taxation once, and
the annual scrap over values will
be eliminated. AT present the
OWNER Of timber feels that he is
Disseminated against by the as
SCISSORS, and in many cases it is
lin. some Of the counties. It
will take time and cost money to
do. the. work outlined, but it will
remove all questions Of unfair
ness and discrimination in favor
ozone interest as against another,
and will be satisfactory in the end.
