dad"

Dad is an old-fashioned sport;
Has no manners of the court;
Likes to eat in his shirt sleeves
Every meal, and he believes
He should say just what he thinks,
Spite of mothers nudge and winks,
He is not well versed in Greek;
Plain old Yankee does he speak;
And his rules of etiquette
They have not been published yet,
You can always hear him chew;
Drinks out of his saucer, too,
And he doesn't mind bit
When you call him down for it,
Takes old-fashioned remedy
For what ais him. Says that he
Can't see much in this NEW thought,
Though, of course, he ought,
He's not very long on style,
And he wears no fine silk tile,
Interest in art to him
Is naught but silly whim,
He's more taken up with cooks
Than with music or with books,
Polish is not in his line,
But, I'll tell you, friends of mine,
When Pm lookin' for a V,
Dad looks mighty good to me.

letters from the prison camp near
Whitebird in Idaho county, where a
number of the prisoners are at work
in the improvement of the Salmon
river road. From letter recently
received from one of the men in the
camp, it is learned that the prisoners
have completed about two miles of
the mountain road, and that those
in camp are entirely satisfied with the
work they are doing. In the letter is
the statement that the prison camp
is located in an orchard and garden,
with all the early vegetables at hand,
and berries, water melons, cherries
and other fruit coming on. Recent
letters have contained photographs of
the wonderful scenery in the vicinity
of Whitebird.

NEWS LETTER FROM
BOISE
Resume of Events Around the
State House From Our
Special Correspondent.

The recent excitement over what
are termed the Huston" farm loans
by the state land board, which ragged
throughout last week succeeding Capt
L. G.. Dayis's letter Of inquiry directed
to Governor Alexander, has all sub
sided at this writing. But in the mean
time the governor has walked on a
field Of glowing plowshares with
naked feet and exposed nerves. His
Of. repeated claims about the care
with which, as he termed il, "the
states banking business was being
transacted under his supervision as
president Of the state bank" thereby
meaning an active and controlling
head of the land department, rather
dwindled even in his own estimation
in the face of the disclosures of ir-
Irregularities that Captain Dayis's let
ter has brought about. However, the
other members Of the land board have
not permitted the governors error to |
interfere with the states best inter |
est. State Auditor Huston, through |
whose instrumentality the loans were
made, he having brought in the appli-
cations and appraised the land, has
undertaken the placing Of the loans
elsewhere by the 18th of July, at
which time it is expected that the
sfata will ha rairn hurSad foe tha
money loaned, with interest TO date
There is no thought that the loans
were in an amount greater than the
value Of the security would carry
but that the Irregularities gave the
people reason to obtain false inn
preston, particularly in the face of
the governors reiterated political ut
terances.

lead from the side of the hill into
which the members of the Boise Gun
club have been pumping metal from
their trusty guns for the past three
years and sold it at the present high
quoted price offered by the markets
of the world. The European war has
boosted the price of lead enormously.
Conceiying the idea that the unused
bullets shot into the side of the hill
could be recovered, these two individ-
uals leased the ground from the water
company. They installed sluice boxes,
scooped about three inches of the
soil from the hill, ran water over it
and then picked out the lead. The
cleanup was made inside of two
months.-Statesma

Quite novelty in wedding cakes
was seen at a recent American we'd
ding. The cake weighed about 300
pounds and was surmounted by rep
resentation of a white cathedral done
in sugar, through the open doors of
which came the notes of Mendels-
sohn's Wedding March" and "Tales
of Hoffman," played by an electri-
cal musical box. This reminds one of
a wedding cake novelty introduced at
another wedding, when an automatic
figure of Cupid was made to march
from the dome on top of the cake and
discharge a packet of arrows in the
of the bridesmaids, who,
needless to say, were delighted with
this pretty idea.
