How She Made
Him Pay
By EUNIcE BLAKE

young lady driving an automobile
was about to turn 4 corner, Another
car was coming from the opposite di-
rection. The girl had lost her head
and instead of turning to the right
made a short cut to the left to give the
other more room. The result was IL
crash.
The girls auto was a light one the
other heavy and strong. Consequently
the light machine was smashed and
the girl thrown out \ young man
who was driving The machine that had
done the damage jumped from his car
and picked the girl up.
Are you much hurt?"
Il don't know" Then seeing the re-
mains of her wrecked machine she col
lapsed in the young mans arms. He
carried her TO his auto, put her on the
rear seat and, not knowing what else
to. do, took off his hat and famed her
with it, Presently she opened her
eyes and again they fell on the heap
of junk that had few moments be-
fore been new runabout
"Ill make you pay for this" she
cried viciously. tears starting to her
eyes.
''You won't have to make me pay;
I'll be only too glad to pay you for
your machine. | only hope you. are
not injured Yourself"
Papa gave it to me only yesterday"
my dear young lady, never mind
your car, Tell me how you feel"
II feel as if l were going to faint"
And she did The young man got
into the ear and propped her up until
she came to herself again.
Fortunately they were in an unfre- |
quented place, and no crowd gathered. |
The young man did not therefore |
scruple to let the girls head fall ON his |
shoulder. and in order to keep her from
falling over it was necessary to put his |
arms about her, He dreaded lest she |
should never come to her senses. and il !
she did she would catch sight of her
wrecked gift again and suffer another
collapse. He placed himself. so far
as he could, between her eyes and the
wreck. He was very much ratified,
scarcely knowing what he did. Wheth-
err 1t was because he had lost his head
or because he Thought it might revive
her. he kissed her.
1t may or may not have served the
purpose. AT any rate. soon after the
application Of the remedy she was her
self again.

THAT PRIZE SQUASH
Doubling Thomas of Idaho City World

Editor Jones Of the Idaho City
World, while still having unbounded
faith that this always veracious Great
Family Guide has not knowingly
wandered from the paths Of truth,
!. doubts that the golden duck which
Herman Werle brought to this office
ever laid an egg. He says;
We have always had unlimited re-
spect for The Index, which publishes
/ the truth, and the whole truth, no
matter how startling, and bravely
faces the consequences. Its chief
characteristics are viyacity and YER
acity, and is always on guard to see
that its vivacity does not do violence
20 its veracity. In this case we be-
lieve The Index tells the truth as it
saw it. We could swallow that
squash, with tail feathers and topnot,
but could have TO eliminate the eggs,
which ma" have been in evidence.
Some duck may have laid the eggs,
and some one may have laid the eggs
alongside the suGash to deceive the
honest but unsuspecting Index editor.
We still have faith in the honest in
tentions of that serious-minded journ-
al, bat cannot dodge the conviction
that some evil-minded villain has been
practicing upon it some slight of
hand deception TO ruin its hard-earned |
reputation for handing out the truth |
in pure, solid chunks, let the conse-
quences be what they may.
Oh, we Of little faith Come hither,
brother, next week, and attend the

DISCUSS CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
Senator Borah Fayors a North
ern Man-Dewey Will
Not Enter Race.

At conference Of Republican
leaders in Pocatello Tuesday, at
which Senators Borah and Brady and
a number Of the prominent party
leaders Of the southeast were present,
one Of the subjects discussed was the
next Republican candidate for gov
eTnor, which seems to be up in the
air. It is said the two Idaho senator's
are divided on this nomination, Sen
ator Borah favoring northern man
and Senator Brady fayoring Mr.. Da-
Wis Of Power county.
II had been expected that Senator
Borah would favor the candidacy Of
+. H. Dewey Of Nampa If he an
nounced himself, but the word
brought here is that Mr.. Dewey will
not make the run. Acceptance by him
Of the tender of the presidency Of
Boise transportation company is un-
derstood TO be his negative answer on
the governorship. With Dewey out of
il, it is understood Senator Borah fa-
vors some northern man, and in this
connection George Crum Of Lewiston
is mentioned Mr.. Crum is leading
business man Of Lewiston and has
served in the legislature. He is known
as q standpatter and has always been
pronounced wet, although having
taken stand firmly for enforcement
Of the prohibition law, notwithstand-
ing its drastic features are not in
harmony with his personal views.
The desire for the nomination of
Senator Borah as the Republican
candidate for president was unan-
imous. Senator Brady expressed him
self unreservedly in favor of his col
league and said he would do every
thing in his power to Bring about his
nomination
The conference devoted some time
70 discussing plans for the next cam
paign, especially along the lines of
harmony and the means to be adopted
TO secure the return to the fold of the Y
Bull Mooscrs. c
Il was limited that some Of the
Bull Moose leaders are holding in ;
