senses. whether of sight or sound. is
liable to throw them into commissions

Pliny declared that a diamond was SO
hard that ii placed on an anvil and
struck with a sledge hammer it would
give back a blow of such force as to
shiver both anvil and hammer to

states that ION the shore Of the island
of Cyprus there was a stone lion hay

shone so brightly that an the fishes
were ingloriously frightened away. The
fishermen accordingly pulled the emer

SD. TAYLOR is CAREY ACT AGENT
Boomers Ferryite Placed in Charge Of
Important Idaho Project

Word received from Boise this
week tells of the recent appoint
ment of S. D. Taylor, former state
auditor, as Carey Act Agent. The
position is very responsible one
and Mr.. Taylor S new Office requires
that he not only looks after the de-
tailed work of the various Carey
Act projects so far as the states
interests are concerned but it is
also up to him to straighten out
the affairs of several companies
which, from one cause and another,
have become financially en-
barrassed and unable to complete
their works so as to deliver water
The failure of some of these enter
prises has worked untold hard
ships upon settlers entering lands
under them and the State of Idaho
has a great problem before it to
remedy these hardships.

is MOTHER OF FOUR CHILDREN
Worry Over Domestic Affairs Caused
Mental Disability

The endurance of many hardships
and worry over domestic troubles
brought on insanity in the case of
Mrs. Rose A'Hart the wife of a
rancher residing near Leonia.
The woman was taken in charge by
Marshall Worley and Constable
McGreevy yesteday morning and
was sent to Standpoint for hear
ing before Probate Judge Woods.
Mrs. A Hart came to Boomers
Ferry last Saturday, walking eight
miles through the snow, and
secured work at the Casey Cafe as
dishwasher. She was meanly
clad and in half-starved condition
and told that her husband had
continually beat her and whipped
her with a horse-whip. She is a
ply steal wreck.
Wednesday night her mind
wandered and yesterday she be-
came violently insane. She told
that she had been a devil for ten
years and that she was going to be
good now and that God had sent
her to spread the gospel.
Neighbors of the A Harris tell
that Mr.. A'Hart had been negli-
gent in providing for his wife and
four children. 1t is said that for
days at a time the children have
not had enough to eat and that
they had suffered from unsanitary
conditions.
Neighbors are now trying tC
have the county take charge of the
children and +. B. Schlette wen
to Standpoint Tuesday to inter
view the county authorities in re
gard to the matter.
