he ever dreamed of such an idea.
However, we reread one poem
Why Cannot Laughter Be Like Tears
Why is it that laughter cannot grow,
And grow and grow and grow?
And why must tears when once they
flow
Persist to flow and flow?
Why cannot laughter be like tears,
And flood this world below?
Why is it hearts must weep and weep,
Unto the end of time?
Why cannot faith find peTmanence,
IN Loveland's sunny cline?
Why cannot laughter, love and faith,
Just fllw, and grow and grow,
As do Lies tears that drown the
years,
With their incessant flow?
Why not, indeed Under the caption

In his preface Mr.. Rees says: My
apology for writing this book is the
desire to compile some scattered frag-
ments OF knowledge into more COM
pact form for the purpose of aiding
the study OF the history Of Idaho.
While there is considerable literature
written, it is embodied IN SO many
books, pamphlets and periodicals that
Il great amount of trouble is requir ed
and expense incurred TO search our de-
sired dates, data and information.
Neither % claim much originality
in the preparation OF this work other
than the plan Of c3liecting and COM
piling ihe efforts OF others.
He is too modest; while this is not
a book for tine ordinary reader to sit
down to for entertainment. it is to
us ere OF great value. He must have
searched lorg, far and widely for his
information: We recognize some of his
sources OF information. many we
never met. and know of but few of
which we might tell him. It's a very
plain, thick brown paper-covered
book OF l25 pages; we have gone
through it with some care and more
delight; it tells in two or three lines
OF dates, this and that discovery and
BY whom: and why this and that
name was given, and. as in the name
Of Idaho, its derivation, various
forms. and probable meaning. such as
Shining Mountains" or, fair mean
ing, Gem Of the Mountains. We
thank Mr. Rees for his work; it is
one of those we shall wish to have
on our desk for frequent reference.
Under date Of 1880, is this fact:
Risk of life in the Rocky Noun
tains for the past decade had been
so great that fifths Of all hunters
and trappers were killed either by
Indians or accident WE can
imagine the desert of that day; for
we recall when what is now the great
garden OF Roswell was almost sage
brush, and Deer Flat was all sage
brush, sand. jackrabbits and coyotes;
and it is hard to think of whole

food and water where our abundance

Mr.. Rees does not quote Sherlock
Bristol who was in Boise Basin in
late 1852, and one of the first to help
make Boise a rel settlement in the
early part of 1858; Mr.. Bristol's &C
count OF the day gold was discovered
in the basin is interesting. He says:
Il went over to Mores Creek and

Henry from Illinois Ny partners

above the creek The sncw was four
feet deep: there were twenty other
cabins near us, and the difficulty of
bringing water from the creek led US
to hire man to dig a well: at depth
of eighteen feet the well-digger struck
the bedrock. He found no water. but

paper and pencil in hand, ran Up the
beach and posted on pine tree, some
such notice as this i - claim 90
feet west of this notice for mining
purposes. etc Thus in half an hour
the whole beach for half mile along
the side OF the creek was taken up by
gamblers, the rest of us being away
in the hills prospecting. All these
claims were fabulously rich: that on
which our cabin was built was worth
S250000 the day it was taken up, for it
yielded about 100000. Three broth
crs named White held this claim and
the one adjoining; they employed
force OF seventeen men by day and as
many by night; their cleanup usually
amounted to about 5000 a day: this
was at least ST 500 above expenses:
they took turns at experimenting the
mine. and while one was doing this
the other two were sleeping, gambling
or otherwise dissipating. They mined
under our house till we had to leave
it and it tumbled into the excavation:
they took out an immense sum, but

THE CELESTIAL ARMY

stood by the open easement
And looked upon the night,
And saw the westward going stars
Pass slowly out OF sight.
Slowly the bright procession
Went down the cleaning arch,
And my soul discerned The music
or their long trilmphal march.
Till the great celestial army.
Stretching far beyond the poles.
Became the eternal symbol
or the mighty march Of souls.
Onward forever onward.
Red Mars led down his clan:
And the moon. like a mailed maiden.
Was riding in the van.
And some were bright In beauty,
And some were faint and small,
But these might be in their great height
The noblest OF them all
Downward. forever downward
BEHIND Earth's dusky shore
They passed into the unknown night
They passed and were no more
No more, oh. say not SOL
And downward is not iust.
For the sight is weak and the sense is dim
That looks through heated dust
The stars and the mailed moon.
Though they seem to fan and die.
still sweep with their embattled lines
An endless reach OF sky.
And though the hills OF Death
May hide the bright array
The marshaled brotherhood OF souls
Stil keeps its upward way.
Upward. forever upward.
see their march sublime.
And hear the glorious music
or the conquerors OF Time.
And long let me remember.
That tho palest. faintest one
May to the diviner vision be

Sustained Nervous Energy

which was torpedoed. After the first
excitement following the attack II was
observed that several passengers dis

nervous energy found relief in letting
loose the immense energy concentrated
in explosives. Similarly, IL was well
known at the front that long day Of
waiting In the trenches was productive
Of more cases of shell shock than a
day Of active engagement with the en-
