On the second day a very strange
thing happened. He had leaned his
head back against the green plush of
the Pullman seat, had closed his eyes
and was half dreaming when sud
denly there drifted upon him the
scent of violets. Violets in the desert!
Quickly he awakened, Strengthened in
his seat, turned his face toward an
open window across the aisle. And
there he beheld the source of the per-
fume
A dainty young girl, whose profile
attracted him, thrilled him, sat d.

Facts About Idaho

Professor G. j. Brosnan of the de,
partment of history at the University
of Idaho, in an address delivered be-
fore the Lewiston Commercial club
set forth some facts regarding Idaho,
that perhaps many did not know, and
others who did know had forgotten.
They are important facts, however.
and are briefly as follows:
Seventy per cent of Idaho's popu-
lation is rural. and history tells that
civilization has been sustained by
people living on land, while city life
had always tended toward national
destruction. This fact, the speaker
pointed out, was full of meaning for
the future
The second great fact presented is
that contrary to the usual condition
existing in agricultural states. the
1920 census says that SO per cent of
the farmers of Idaho own the land
on which they live and cultivate it.
This makes Idaho one state where
there is remarkable lack of tenancy.
A third great fact which is brought
out by the U. S. geological survey,
and emphasized by the speaker.
There is in southeastern Idaho vast
potential wealth of phosphate, the
value of which Is estimated at billions
of dollars.
A fourth fact is that Idahos lead
silver area in the Occur d'Alenes is
the richest lead-silver mining dis
tract in the world

time. At any rate, John Emerson
breakfasted next morning with Gloria
and her mother And when Gloria
ordered hard boiled eggs, John looked
at her sheepishly, and said me
too" He was agreeably affected
when he realized at last there was
to be no motherly Mary to warn him
against hard boiled eggs" He click
ed his heels together beneath the
table. Already he was becoming
new man. Youth had come flying
back.
Three weeks after John Emerson
had arrived In New York he was
new John Emerson. The average per-

Whereupon John Emerson, keen In
his sense of suspicion, leaped over
the railing. sat sat squarely down be-
side his newly met friend, and en-
gagged her in conversation. She was
Mrs. Tuyl, of New York, and her
daughter was Miss Gloria Tuyl, also
of New York

as a god.
Looking in upon him as he made

most elaborate of a series of cafe
parties In which he had been a lead

personable John Emerson. He had
changed to Tuxedo and, lay COM
fortably back in a low, overstuffed
chair in his shirt sleeves, while three
obsequious servants worked over him
industriously. At his feet his Japan

his New York sojourn, added an ex-
ira layer of paste to his already
highly polished shoes A bobbed blonde
manicurist worked feverishly at his
pink nails. A masculine artist of
massage rubbed and rubbed over the
now flushed cheeks. And all the
while there was a deep seated con-
viction in Johns mind that the shoes
were pinching his feet, that the mani |
curist tickled his hands unbearably, !
and that the massager was Just a
plain fool who made livelihood in a
most disgraceful and unnecessary oc-
cupation.
These thoughts were dispelled when
