The referee decided that kcrnochan
ought 20 BE- able to worry along on $4,000
annually from his aunts estat" for the
next Ave years. making his total income
over $4,000. In his report the referee
said:
1T ~ unfortunate that Mr.. kernochan
has been broush; mp in surroundings
which have led 20 extravaganCos beyond
his income. and that he has been led to
Join clubs and 10 rningie in u society which

I am Of the opinion that he is serious
minded and with profession in which
he should be encouraged to work.

Hon. Bert II. Miller, almost a
native son of Fremont county,
was nominated for congress in the
late primary election, taking the
prize away from the able and vet
cram war-horse Dow Cunning of
Silver City, Idaho. This is going
some, whe we consider that Mr..
Miller was handicapped by his
own county failing to register
but a small part of its vote be-
cause of the strenuous busy day
for the farmers who were racing
with the elements to save their
crops, which duty they placed
above exercising their franchise
al such election. Mr.. Miller is a
lawyer of some renown and a
successful business man. He is
good citizen, and a farm raised
hoy, who has won his way to
prominence by selv making, being
equipped for this struggle with
integrity and courage.

thing about Der Miller is that

serving yourself by placing a man

resent you, but will represent the
great commonwealth of Idaho.

former imperial palace of K1OtO, the
ancient capital Of the empire. COinci-
dent with the coronation a big naval
review viii be held either in Osaka bay,
off Kobe or in Toxic bay, near YOk0-

Among the many faults which the

/ am sure there is not a young French
girl living who would not gladly sacri-

Great Fault Of French Parents.
The greatest fault have to find with
the French parents in their relations
with their children is this, that they
never keep them at home never teach
them the value of a home, but invaria-

to get them out of the way. In these
boarding schools French girls spend
their whole childhood and girlheod at
the very best being permitted to spend
their Weelzends and vacations at home.
