Caught Sunday afternoon with 12
hides stolen from the Idaho Butcher
ing & Packing company and from the
meat market at Filler, a young man
named Gordon Borg. of indefinite age
and no permanent place of residence
insisted, when arrested by Sheriff
Kendall and Chief of Police Ham, that
he had purchased the goods. He is
in Jail awaiting trial.
Manager Meyer of the Filler market
missed five hides Sunday morning and
saw a buggy track leading from the
slaughter house to the road, headed
for Twin Falls The rig was tracked
along the road into the city. The po-
lice and sheriffs office were notified
at once and a search made. The young
man was found at the Galliher barn
tying up the hides, evidently prepare
tory to shipping them. Monday Sher-
iff Kendall went to Bull, where he
discovered that A. M. Stangle, pro-
prietor of the packing company, was
looking for hides The young man
had hired a team from the Bull Liv-
cry & Transfer company and had
brought the hides to this city with it
He had been at the headquarters of
the packing company in Bull two
days previously, ostensibly looking for
work. 1t is said that he tells con-
Trajectory stories about his identity
and age, though he generally asserts
that he is IA years old. The officers
believe that he is several years older
His preliminary hearing will be held
this afternoon or tomorrow. Some of
the stolen hides weighed so pounds.

LIKED BIBLE GUY
MAN WHO CARRIED THE WORD
POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS.
Boys In Blue Stationed Along the Rio
Grande Unanimously OF Opinion
That Visitor Was Strictly
All Right.

It was pretty close 10 taps when a
small car puffed up TO the little border
station on the Rio Grande, satisfied the
sentry and came inside the earthworks
fertilization. Its driver, tall ruddy-
checked young man, who looked as
though he might be fresh out OF col
lege, brought the mail-he'd succeeded
in crossing a swollen creek in his car
when the Mexican mail man didn't
care to try 1t, and he brought also n
carload of Bibles.
The soldiers in the border station
called him "the Bible guy and the
opinion was expressed more than once
that 'the Bible guy was all right"
There are a number of him ON the
Mexican border. They are representa-
tives Of the American Bible society
and their business is giving away
Bibles and Testaments to the soldiers
who are doing border patrol duty. This
particular one had come east from FL
Paso, matter of 450 miles, and did
not expect to stop until he reached the
GIlf He found considerable demand
for his little olive-drab-bound Testa-
ments and Bibles, as well as real
friendliness for himself.
He was a modest young man, but he
admitted that good many interesting
things happened to a fellow who car
ried the Word along the border. Some
times one miscalculated or found the
roads worse than he expected and had
to camp out overnight-he carried a
few provisions and skillet always to
be prepared for that emergency And
of course, one did have to know how
to pull an automobile out of a mud
hole by one-man power and quite q
lot more outdoor things.
"Do the Mexicans ever bother your
someone asked him.
The Bible guy laughed as though
that were the best joke in the world.
mo, indeed" he said. "Why should
they bother me? Besides, you know
I'm prepared for Mexicans as well as
soldiers. carry copies of the Bible in
Spanish and find a lot of people who
are glad to get them. And now--if
you'll excuse me-rve got lot to do
to this car"
Whereupon the Bible guy, clad in
brown overalls, disappeared under the
mud-crusted machine. 1t shows how
good Christian he really is that in
the half-hour he stayed there nobody
heard him swear--Kansas City Star.

Dying VILLAGES.

1t is the American village that
most betrays the impulse of our
civilization-a civilization that perpet-
ually overreaches itself only to be
obliged to surrender again and again
to nature everything it has gained.
How many thousands Of villages, FROST
bitten, palsied, full of the morbid,
bloodless villages that
have lost, if they ever possessed, the
secret of self-perpetuation, lie scat
tered across the continent Even in
California | used to find them on long
cross-country walks, villages often
enough not half century old, but in
a state of essential decay. Communi-
ties that have come into being on the
flood tide Of an enterprise too rapidly
worked out, they all signify some lost
cause of a material kind that has left
high and dry--like the neutral areas
In an old painting where the colors, in.
completely mixed and Of perishable
quality, have evaporated with time.--

Map Has coIored Roads.

South Carolina is one of the states
which have marked the poles and sign
boards along the main roads by col

routes of which the roads form parts.
There are nine Of these through
routes in all, crossing the state In
every direction. In order to make it
as easy as possible for the traveller
to follow any of them, the state com
missioner of agriculture, commerce
and industries has issued a map Of

Bicycle HaIancer.

An apparatus has been invented by
Eugene Tourtier of Paris, France,
which gives bicycles, motorcycles
and every other similar vehicle a ver-
tical equilibrium regardless Of whether
or not the road is level. 1t is merely
necessary to support the machine in an
upright position by operating a lever
attached to the handlebar, according to
the Popular Science Monthly.
The lever can be operated while the
bicycle is moving, making it possible
for a rider to remain in his seat as
lhe wheel comes to a stop and to start
again without dismounting. The steel
rod supports are strong enough to sus-
tain 4 combined weight Of 500 pounds.
Bicycles fitted with the balancer have
oeen used by the Swiss police for some
time.

OPEN SEASON FOR FOOL FIRES
Time is Almost Upon Us for Grass, Forest and Flue Fires, Says
 Warning.

"The open season for fool fires, from defective fues, burning grass and forests, is almost here,' says an anti-fre warning just issued, "and 1t is up to the public to protect itself. ~
 Within a few short weeks the news papers of Arkansas will have many items to print about fires caused from bad order flues, which the first touch of chilly weather always occasions.
 With a feeling of dread, the fire departments approach that season of the year when stoves are set up and furnaces lighted for the first time, after weeks of non use. During the summer months furnace pipes hav2 become defective through rust, cracks have widened in bad fues. The ad- vent of the heating season uncovers all these defects
 "Flues should be cleaned and in- spected before fires are lighted. Fur mace hues and heating generally should be looked after, either by the man of the house or by reliable workman" says the anti-fre warning, issued by the Arkansas Actuarial Blu reau.

PRESIDENT VISITS
 IN OLD HOME
After Attending Funeral of His
 Only Sister, Nations Execu-
 tive Visited Old Familiar
 SpOtS-ReturnS to New Jersey

Columbia, Sept 1S.-President Wilson, who came here today for the funeral of his only sister, Mrs. Anne E. Howe, left at 6:15 o'clock this evening for the summer white house at Long Branch, New Jersey. He is to arrive at West End shortly after ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon and go to Shadow Lawn.
 Several thousand persons were at the railroad station when the presi- dent left, and stood with barred heads until the train was out of the station incIosure. The president, his face more grave than usual, bowed in silence as he passed into his car.
 After the services at the grave of his sister, the president remained for some time beside the burial lot where his mother and father are buried and later visited relatives here and the house in which he spent some of his boyhood days. He was accompanied by Ms. Wilson, Miss Margaret Will son and Dr. C. T. Grayson.
 Mrs. James Woodrow, an aunt of the president, welcomed him as Tommy" and remarked to Mrs. Will son, Since he took to writing books he calls himself Woodrow" Mr. Wilson also visited the Columbia Theological Seminary, where his ia ther once taught, and was shown the chair and room used by the elder Mr. Wilson. He was told of the plan to name library planned by the semin- ary after his father.

SEARS, ROEBUCK & co. VS PRESCOTT MERCHANT
Some Why's and Wherefores of Amazing Mail Order Business Done by Mail Order Houses in Prescott and Other Places.

The constant trade going to Chicago mail order houses could be cut in two if local merchants properly sought that trade One instance as an illus tration is shown in a certain party sending to Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, for a mop stick priced at 10 cents. She paid 'on receipt, s cents postage, mon. ey order 3 cents, postage ? cents; total 23 cents. Our home merchants could sell the same mop for 10 cents and a better one at that but this party didn't know it. No advertise ment called her attention to it.
 The remedy: We'll placed adver- tisements hold trade; it conserves trade and keeps it in home circula- tion The bugbear of many merchants in the smaller towns is the mail order business It is admitted that the sys- tenn alienates home trade
 It is in discussing this subject that MT. Rosenthal advertising manager of enc of Chicago's largest mail order houses, pays the non-advertising mer- chant a left handed compliment. He says:
 "We have a bureau whose duty 1t is to read each week the country newspapers from all over the country. There is not a paper of any conse- quence in our trade territory that our bureau does not get. This bureau looks over these papers and when We find a town where the merchants are not advertising in the local papers we immediately flood that territory with our catalogues. It always brings re- suits far in excess of the same effort put forth in the same territory where the local merchants all the time use their local paper in telling the people what they carry in stock"
 The moral is obvious.

 The market was somewhat irregu- l,r during the early trading. with nrces nuctuating between bullish rron advices and expectations of a r.ni5lv increasing movement. Liver noo was better than due, and after so onening daeance of , to 9 points, active months here sold F to Is Doints net higher. this advance met considerable cotton, attributed partly to Southern hedging and there were reactions of or 9 points from the best during the middle of the morn ing. The offerings were well taken around l5.GS for January, however, while the selling seemed to become less active on the decline. This was doubtless disappointment to some of last weeks sellers, who had antici- pated more active hedging today, and the market fmed up during the af- ten0on.
 Reports of easier freight rates for September sailing from New York to Liverpool probably promoted the late advance, while there was trade buy ing as well as active covering by Wall street and other shorts.
