A man prided himself on being clean.
He wore fine clothes. invariably i'm
maculate. His linen always looked as
il It had just come from the laundry.
His face fairly glowed with clean
illness that went with good health.
He liked to say that IL he missed
his morning tub he felt miserable
for the rest OF the day.
He apparently never missed IL.
And yet this model OF cleanliness
was possessed by the devils OF un-
cleanliness.
No matter how clean his body might
be, those devils kept his mind un-
clean.
Wherever he went they followed
him.
They followed him even into his
bath.
As the years passed. even while the
man remained a model Of cleanliness,
the devils reached a more secure con-
troll OF his mind.
And as his mind grew more unclesn.
the more he suffered.
At last he said to himself: THE
world is ~uch a terrible place ] don't
see how can endure il much longer.
The uncleanliness grows worse and
worse as grow older"
The coming Of a great war drove
him almost into despair.
You see. he thought the whole
trouble lay outside himself.
Hardly day passed that did not
bring the man fresh torments.
There were SO many things to con-
denim. TO resist. to despise. to hate, TO
shrink from. And there were so many
persons to blame and to scorn, so
many thas fairly invited punishment
and yet never got their deserts.
IF were a god / would shatter Il
to bits the man once thought, un-
consciously echoing a popular poet
whose philosophy he despised, as he
reflected on the state of the world.
Meanwhile, his own state was be-
coming torture.
The devils OF uncles nliness were
having a riot in the mind that, to
those nearby. seemed like the abode
Of cleanliness.
One day the man said to himself Il
must do something TO ease this tor
ture or ] shall 90 mad"
He wondered what he could do.
He couldn't make the world over.
The task was too vast even for one Of
his critical faculty and passion Cor
reform.
He wondered IL he could make him.
self over in self-protection.
So he turned q searching eye on his
mind and there. for The firSt time in
his life, he found himself face TO face
with the devils Of uncleanIiness.
At sight of those devils the man
was appalled,.
"whst are you doing in there?" he
said.
They began TO explain that they
had been put there by tbs evils OF the
orld.
But you are creatures Of evil your
self" cried the man. 'T zee the evil
in your faces and in the shape Of your
bodies. You are unciean.'
They insisted that they were not
unclean and that what seemed like
unclesnliness was reflected from the
evils they loathed and wanted him to
Iosthe.

Fire had just been started int he

had turned to look after the pipes
when the explosion occurred Steel
and iron parts flew in every direction
one heavy piece shooting close enough
to Mrs. Fagerstedt to tear her dress
before leaving its imprint in the
wall behind her. One of the stove
doors was torn entirely from it's
hinges. Another was twisted like a
piece of paper. Lids were blown
against the ceiling of the room with
sufficient force to leave their i'm
print a quarter Of an inch deep.
Smoke and SCOT were so dense that it
was not possible 10 see in the kit

was almost as bad.
The crash of the explosion and the
screams of the frightened woman
caused her husband to jump from bed
and rush to her assistance The

having been scattered in many places.

ENGINEERS MEET
AT CAPITAL CITY
DISCUSS IRRIGATION PROBLEMS
AND DISTRICT FORM OF GOV.
ERNMENT FOR SIEVE RAJ DAYS.
GIBSON is PRESIDENT
ELECTED HEAD OF STATE so.
GETTY AND CHAIRMAN OF LEGis.
LATivE COMMITTEE.

VIM. II. Gibson of this city was
honored by the Idaho Society OF En-
gineers at its regular annual meeting
In Boise last week, by being elected
presld Mt of the society. There was
a spirited contest for the presidency
and Mr. Gibson won by two to one
vote, Mr.. Gibson was also retained
as chairman OF the committee ON
legislation by the operating engineers
annual conference.
The NTH annual conference Of the
Idaho Operating Engineers was held
in Bose last week. The conference
was largely attended by those promi.
nent N irrigation circles from all
sections Of the state.
Many matters OF interest to the lr-
| rigationist We're considered aud ably
d scuss by those having practical
experience. The Irrigation District
law CAME in for full share of the
discussion and ii was the unanimous
opinion of the conference that the
District plan is the only practical
method of handling irrigation enter
prizes.
A number Of amendments to the
law We're proposed and adopted by
the conference and are being submit
ted to the gislatIre-among these
being the issuance OF bonds on the
part of the district. In place Of the
issuance Of ten-twenty bond 1t La
proposed to give the district oppor-
tunhy to issue bonds of a series
ranging from five-ten bonds to twenty
forty bonds or in other words to
make the bond Issue more elastic Ia
order that the district may choose
the bond most suited to It's needs.
1t developed that short time bond
can find ready local market In
some sections of the state.
1t also developed that district
Hay be formed under the provision
of the present law by selecting only
those lands to be watered-the lands
may be non.contiguous and widely
So parated-only those actually resid-
ing within the district thus designated
can vote at any election held by the
district and in case of an election to
reate an indebtedness a further
qualification is that the voter must
be land owner within the district.
The conference appointed a CON-
nittee to outline a plan for merging
organization into what may be
tbown as the Idaho Irrigation Con-
: ess-to be instituted as a perma-
leDt organization Of all irrigation In
erests of the state. Such congress
0 BE- broad in it's scope and TO in
lHde in ts membership those Ldenti-
led in the solution Of irrigation

SCHOOL TO ENCOURAGE THRIFT.

1t is to be hoped that every pa
tron of the Mountain Home school
will take an active interest in the
new movement to teach thrift and
dev lop the habit of saving.
The plan is as follows: The pupil
wishing 10 become a member OF the
saving club applies to the teacher for
an introduction card This card Ia
taken to the bank when the pupil
viii receive a small bank to put his
weekly savings In. Az soon as q
dollar is thus saved it is taken to
th bank and placed to the pupils
credit and begin to draw interest.
BY putting away the pennies and
nickeis this way they soon become
an amount worth while and the boy
or gIl is forming one Of the best
habits Of life.

There was vast amount of ex
element over at Bruneau the first Of
the week, when the cache of the
town Dootlegger was discov red un-
der the floor of the Congregational
church and the minister, Rev. Seares
caught the culprt. 1t is relate d
that a fellow by he name of Stubbs
had been busy at the Illicit traffic
for some time and that the first OF
the week some boys located his hide
out and stole some sixteen quarts of
the exhlliratng fluid, which they
proceeded to dispose of at a dollar
a pint. Stubbs start,d to remove
the rema nder OF his stock to a
safer place and was caught in the
act by the minister, who took him to
the home OF County Commissioner
John Benham and with Mr.. Benhams
help delivered him to Deputy Sheriff
Abe Robinson.
After Stubs was safely locked
up the party Proceeded to take charge
OF the liquor and store it with
Stubbs, bu- out of his reach, in the
bastle. They broke a bottle, or at
least opened IT, while removing 1t,
our Informant was a little hazy as
to how that happened but it was
necessary, Then they notified the
county attorney and sat back in the
