EX-GOVERNOR BUM WRITES
OF EARLY DAYS IN IDAHO

Prof. c. J. BrosnAn, superintend-
emit OF the Nampa public schools, Is
making an exhaustive research for
data and material for a history Of
Idaho, which he is writing. He re-
Gently wrote to w. M. Bum, who
was governor of Idaho from June
1884, to July 1885, for any points
of interest that might have trans
pired here during that time. Mr..
Bum is now living in Philadelphia.
In reply to Prof Brosnan's letter.
the former governor refers to some
of his experiences as executive of
Idaho territory. One of the inch
dents referred to was his refusal to
pardon George Pierson, called
Johnnie Behind-the- Rocys," SEN
fenced to death for the murder of
John T. Hall at Vienna, near HALEY.
James H. Hawley and Tom Catalan
prosecuted Johnnie" and Lycurgus
Vineyard, now OF Grangeville, de-
Tended him. The slayer was execut-
ed from a cart.
The former governor refers to the
late John A. O'Farrell. He recalls
him as an enthusiast for Idaho pro-
duction and in the light of develop.
ment his prophecy, as related by
Bum, is most interesting: "The
area of arabic lands that can be
readily reclaimed by irrigation ID
from 100000 to 10000, 900 acres
Traversing southern Idaho is the
extensive volcano belt, or basin, OF
Snake river, the soil of which hal
been found by analysis, to be tht
most desirable of that of any state
in the Union for the growth OF any
of the vegetables, cereals, fruits
etc"
Recalls Mrs. Foote.
Governor Bum recalls Mary Hal
lock Foote, the gifted Idaho author
ess, and mentions an affair fol
which she designed the place cards
In this connection it is interesting
to learn from Professor Brosnal
that he has located reference t
Mrs Foote by Longfellow--a wore
of praise for some of her work whel
she was a maiden, for 1t was Mar.

The interesting communication
from Former Governor Bum con
tains the following:

BOSTON TRADITION IS HIT
BespeetacIed schoolboy for Which
Hub Has Been Known Throughout
Country, Is Almost Extinct.

Another Boston tradition was shat
tered when DR.. William H. Devine, di-
rector Of medical inspection in the
Boston schools, reported to the school
board that IS per cent Of the pupils
now in school have normal vision.
The bespectacled Boston schoolboy,
one Of the sacred traditions of the Hub,
respected everywhere else, is no long

almost extinct, like the messenger boy
who quotes Browning.

to give Bostcnians who wore them that

old Puritan Boston was cutting loose
from all her honored traditions and

healthy boys and girls.
Doctor Devine reported that out Of

ported that out of total of S9,10S pu-

HER PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE:
Lesson Seen for the Weary World in
the lnvariabe Ending Of Little
Three-Year-OId's Stories.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
described, some months ago, little
person of some three years who was
insatiably fond Of stories. When there
was no one to tell them to her she
made them up herself. The writer
was impressed with the invafiable end
ing Of these stories, which was al
ways, "And him went home to him's
muvver.'" "Bears, lions. tigers. even
elephants and crocodiles pass through
the most agitating and unusual adven-
ture, but in the end they all go home
to their mother" And the writer adds
that this is an astonishing bit Of wis
dom to be evolved by person Of
three.
There have been many pretentious
PHILOSOPHERS of life offered US these
last few years, and it may take some
of US no little time to come down to
one so modest. But the signs are
thickening fast that the whole world,
disappointed with its grand policies
and enfeebled with it's PHILOSOPHERS, Is
beginning to long for something like
this. 1t may be blow to ones pride,
but the greatest philosophy of life has
long since been stated. "When he
came to himself he said, will arise
and go to my father."-The Sunday
School Times.

German People Are
Finding T|,ot War

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-No i'm
mediate prospects, despite Germany's
gradual weakening of morale in the
civilian population and the army, is
seen by Pleasant a. Stoyau, minister
to Switzerland, who called on Presi-
dent Wilson today on his first return
from his post in four years.
The German people, said Mr..
StoyaH, ARE slowly realizing that the
war is a total failure AS this spirit
grows it will cause some sort of rovlu-
ton but l do not think any one can
forecast what form this will take.
Food and other economic conditions in
Germany are. very bad and CROWN g

Switzerland, the minister declared,
was genuinely neutral and viii not
abandon that position. The Swiss
Society of superintendent has been
successful, he said. in preventing ex-
portaNon to Germany and Austria Of
materials imported from allied coun-
tries. Mr.. StoyaI1 will confer with
Vance Mccormick, Of the trade board
Secretary Lansing and Herbert c.
Hoover in an effort to facilitate ex-
port Of food and other supplies to
