ing Habits Of Tiger.

According to Pliny, when hunter
wished to catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with a very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve. "When the
tigress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and tracks them by the smell.
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one Of the whelps to her. with
which she returns to her lair. Then she
rushes back, and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his ship"
Equally interesting is the account in
the "Physiologus" which explains that
''the hart desireth the water brooks"
because it had been inhaling the breath
of dragons. So having filled its stom-
ach from the brook, it browns the
dragon out of its hole and Stays it with
its antlers.
Unicorns seem to have given much
trouble in those days, and were exter-
minated in a most unspOrtsmanlfke
fashion. ''The hunters place q virgin
near the spot where the unicorn has its
abode. The unicorn, seeing her, runs
and places its head in her lap, doing
her no HARM" This very natural. ac-
ton proves his undoing, for "then COM
eth the hunter and killeth it,"
Here is the reverse of the picture:
"But if she be not pure maid the uni
corn will not sleep, but killeth her."
This legend is also carved at Chester,
England.

Peterson's neat writing, ana the smile
broadened. Assuredly life was still

quick movement which he hardly

remarks, she was thinking Of other

COMBINATIONS
NEW PARTNERSHIP

senator EnOch w. WhltcOmD, on
his arrival from professional visit
at Pocatello Wednesday evening, an
nounced the formation of a partner
ship with Judge Frederick J. Cowen
for the practice of law at Blackfoot.
In the same firm will be also the
Messrs. Scion and Chase Clark. Ii
is understood that Judge Cowen re-
tired from the bench of the sixth ju-
dicial district to engage in practice
of law in this connection.
The announcement of Senator
Whitcomb in the new firm came as a
surprise, though it was known for
two years that Judge Cowen had
contemplated retiring.
1t becomes highly interesting to
know that Senator Whitcomb has
turned down an offer of Judge Cow
ems place on the bench, as will ap-
pear by the following kilograms that
have just passed between the Cover
nor of the state of Idaho and the

100000 For Road Building

Hon. ]. A. Harrington, representa-.
tive for Custer county in the lower
house of the last session of the State
Legislature, returned home some time
ago and as we were desirous of Civ.
ing our readers a comprehensive re-
port of the doings of the session we
refrained from entering into it until
our type setting machine arrived.
Mr.. Harrington, in a recent inter.
view gave us the following informa
ton which will be of interest to our
readers:
Perhaps the most important piece
of legislation in which Custer county
was interested was that OF an ap.
preparation for building connecting
links on State Highways and funds
for maintaining the present highway
Custer county has forty miles Of State
Highway and will therefore come in
for $4,000 or 5000 per mile to be used
in maintaining present highways the
coming bienium.
Mr.. Harrington explained an ap.
preparation bill which had for it's pur
pose the reimbursement of funds tc
the county for money advanced on
the states part of completion Of con
tracts in the past. The only reimbur
sement received by the county wae
$2908 on the Watson bridge. The ap
preparation bill provides for REIN

While it is not in our county there
has been set aside the sum of $40,

in Lemhi county, giving us approx
imately $4,000 for road purposes in
addition to $4,000 which is now be

poses in the county.
