Hail to the first contributor we
received his contribution barely in
time to go to press. II he will now ia
vor us with his name and address we
will forward to him by return mail the
badge of the Royal Order of the Puy-

word stay the march of art:
Sonnet to Spring.
When winter clouds go drifting by,
Bechased by springtime breezes,
And We lay off our winter colds,
And take ON hay-fever sneezes.
And hearts of all the rustic SWANS,
Are then inclined to flutter
Classic phrases to their danes
They be inclined to utter.
The willy groundwork cOmeth forth.
Along with birds of sumner
Our business goes from bad to worse
And keeps On getting hummer.
Now comes the maid with Easter
Bonnet
Farewell, Dear Thumps, I've got to
quit or this wont be a sonnet.
THUMBS.
A Banker that people call Ike
Would save money by riding a bike.
His feet l declare
Fill half of the air.
And take up most of the pike.
THUMBS.
The night was breaking into day.
AS nights are wont to do
Columbus put some ginger
Into an oyster stew.
THUMBS.
Question from Reform Debate: Will
Captain Billy's Whizz Bang take the
place of the Saturday Evening Post.
N. B. We read both of them.

We found, upon reference to our En-
cyclopedia Britannica, (Which by the
way, we W only 81 payments on now

seeks after the Elixer of Life and who
also experiments on turning base mat
ter to Gold" We now hail the Monn-
sinners Union as the Society of Mod

Ikky-Why is that girl wearing
alarm clocks on her ankles?
Ikey-Cause she is such a wall flow
er she wears them to keep her feet
from going to sleep.
THUMBS.
Nope-the steno and the grocer
didn't get married this week either.
We guess the steno knows to much
about business and the grocer too
much about the high cost of living.
THUMBS.
A rolling stone will get no moss.
This fact you can't demolish.
But tumbling DER the countryside,
1t is bound to get a polish.
THUMBS.
Misunderstanding Hens, Early Ohio,
and six weeks seed potatoes.-Ad in
the Pocatello Tribune. Watson! Quick!
How many potatoes can he consume

THUMBS.
Say nothing and few people will
dispute you word" murmurs Tommy
St John.
THUMBS.
The girl Ikky and key were speak

We read Behind Grey Walls the
other day and found it highly enter
tanning. 1t thoroughly convinced us
that we didn't want to be there. This
book is written by a man serving a
life sentence in the Idaho P~enitentiary.
1t seems to refute the old idea that a
penitentiary is a colonly of unlicensed
brutes ruled over by a small number
of licensed brutes. Mr.. Murphy, the
author, gives a very clear idea of life
this institution and we would recon-
mend its production into the schools
and its earnest perusal by all of Young
1daho-Male and Female.
