'I'd like to know where I am,' I thinks. 'But somebody will tell me before long, so there is no use' worrying about that the main point is, have I been touched?1 I dug down into my jeans, and there wasn't a thing of any kind to remem ber me by. 'No,' I says to myself, 'I ain't been touched I've been grabbed they might have left me the price vi a ureaKiHst! wen. it s a nice iook- "Bere's your watch and tht rett of yow valuable." tag country, anyhow!' So down I wo lira tn thn office. A cheerful seem ing, plump kind of a man was sitting behind the desk. 'Hello!' says he, glancing Op ana smiling as i came in. 'How do you open up this morning? "'Somebody saved me the trouble,' says I. 'I'm afraid I'll have to give you the strong arm for breakfast' "He grinned wide. Oh, it ain't as bad as that, I hardly reckon,' says he. He dove into a safe and brought out a cigar box.

C, THURSDAY, JANUARY " 'You" have doubtless been attracted to our small but growing city from the reports which are happily true of the inexhaustible mineral wealth of the surrounding region.' says he. " 'No-o not exuetly,' says I; 'but I do want to hour something about mines. Mr. Hot el man out there (who's a gentleman of the old school if ever there lived one) told me that you might put me ou to a good thing.' ( "'Precisely,' says he. . 'Now, sir, my name ls Joncs-rAgamemnon G. Jones and my pardner, Mr. H. Smith,' is on business trip, selling shares of our mine, which we have 'called "The Treasury" from reasons which we can make obvious to any investor. The shares, Mr.' , ' ' " 'Saunders Red Saunders Chanta Seechee Red.' " 'Mr. Saunders, are 50 cents' apiece, which price Is really only put upon them to avoid the offensive attitude of dealing them out as charity. As a matter of fact, this mine of ours con tains a store of gold which would up set the commercial world were the bare facts of its extent known. There is neither sense nor amusement ln confining' such enormous treasure ln the hands of two people. Consequent ly my pardner and I are presenting an Interest to the public, putting the nom inal figure of 50 cents a shrre upon It, to save the feelings of our beneficia ries.' , " 'What the devil do I care? says I. 'I'm looking for a chance to dig. Could you tell a man where to go? ' "'Oh,' says he, 'when you come to that, that's different Strictly speak ing, my pardner Hy hasn't gone off on a business trip. As a matter of fact, he left town night before last with two-thirds of the" money we'd pulled out of a pocket up on Silver creek ln the company of two half breed Injuns, a Chinaman and four more sons of guns not classified, all In such a state of beastly Intoxication tbat their purpose, route and destina tion are matters of the wildest con jecture. I've been laying around town here bating myself to death, thinking perhaps I could sell somo shares ln a mine that we'll find yet, If we have good luck. If you want to go wild catling over, the hills and far away, I'm your huckleberry.' '"That hits me all right,' says I. 'For what 1 don't know about mining nobody don't know. When do we start?' " This or any other minute,' says( he, getting up from the table. '"Watt tUl I finish up these eggs,' says I. 'And there's a matter of one drink coming to me outside. I may as well put that where It won't barm any one elso before we start.' "'All right,' says he, wnvlng bis hand. 'You'lfind me outside, at your pleasure, sir.' ' "I swallered the rest of my break fast whole and hustled out to the bar, where my friend and the hotel man Was waiting. . 'Now I'll take tbat drink that's coming, and rather than be small about it I'll buy one for yon, too, and then we're off,' says I. " 'You won't do no such thing,' says the hotel man. It's a horse on me, and I'll supply the liquor. Mr. Jones Is In the play as much, as anybody.' "So the hotel man set 'em' up, and that made one drink. TherfJones said he'd never let a drink suffer from lonesomeness yet when he had the price, and that made two drinks. I had to uphold the honor of the ranch, and that made three drinks. Hotel man said It was up stick, now, and he meant to pay his Just debts like an honest man, and that made fonr drinks. Then Jones said well, by thla time I see 1 needn't have hurried breakfast so much. More people came In. I woke upthe next morning in the same old bedroom. Every break fast Aggy and me got roady to pull for the mines, and every morning 1 woke up ln the bedroom. I should like to draw a Veil over the next two weeks, bat It would have to be a pretty strong veil to hold it I tried to keep IovbI with Aggy, bnt he'd spend three- dollars to my one, and the consequence of that was tbat we went broke within fifteen minute of each other.' .

"Well, to get back to Boise, you never In all your lifo saw so many men and brothers as was gathered there that day, and old Aggy, he was one of the centers of attraction. -That big voice and black beard was always where the crowd was thickest and the wet goods flowing the freest 'Gentle men,' says he, 'let's lift up our voices In melody!' That was one of Ag's de lusions he thought he could sing. So. four of 'em got on top of a billiard tnble and presented 'Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep' to the company, which made me feel glad that I hadn't been brought up tbat way. After Ag had hip locked the last low note an other song bird volunteered. "This" was a little fat Dutchman, with pale blue eyes, and a mustache like two streaks of darning cotton. He had come to town to sell a pair of beef steers, but got drawn Into the general hilarity, and now he didn't care a cuss whether he, she or It ever sold another steer. He got himself on end and sung 'Leeb Fadderlont mox- true ecksteln' in a style that made yon wonder tbat the human nose could stand the strain. "'Aw, cheese that! say. a feller near the door. 'Come, got your steers; one of 'em's Just chased the barber up a telegraph poIel "So then we all piled out Into the street to see the steers. Sure enough, there was the barber sitting on the crossplece and the steer pawing dirt underneath. " 'He done made me come a fast heat from de cohner,' say. the barber. 1 kep hollerin' "Next!" but he ain't pay no 'tention be make It "next" fur me, shuab! Yih, yah, yah! Ton gent, orter seen me start at de bottom an slide all de way up dls yer telegraft poloP "One of the bull whacker, went out to rope the steers, and Ag gave direc tions from tho sidewalk.- He wasn't very handy with a riato, and that, a fact, but the way Ag lit Into him wa. scandalous. When he'd missed about six casts of his rope, Ag opened np on him: " 'Put a stamp on it and send It to him by mall,' said Aggy ln his sour- castle way. 'Address it "Bay Steer, middle of Muln street, Boise, Ida. If not delivered within ten days, return to owner, who can use it to hang him self." Blast my bide if I couldn't stand here and throw a box car nearer to the critter! Well, well, well! How many left bands have yon got, any how? Do It np In a wad and heave it at him for general results. He might get tangled in It' "It rattled the bull whacker, having so much attention drawn to him, and he stepped on the rope and twisted himself np In it and wa. flying light generally. " 'Say,' says Ag, appealing to tho crowd, 'won't somo kind friend who a fond of puzzles go down and help that gentleman do himself?' "That made the whacker mad. lie was as red In the face as a lobster. " Ton come down and show what yon can do,' says he. "You've got ga. enough for a balloon ascension, but that may be all there Is to you.' "'Oh, I ain't so much,' say Aggy, although I'm a good a man today as ever I was ln my life, but I bay. a lit tle friend here who can rope, down and ride that critter from her. to tb brick front ln five minute, by tb. watch, and if you've got a twenty-flvo dollar bill In your pocket or Its equiv alent ln dust yoo can observe the ex periment' "111 Co yon, by goshf say the bull whacker, slapping his bat on the ground and digging for bis pile.

It is generally conceded in Wash ington that the Democrats "ha ve gained a strong support in the Sen atorial branch of Congress in the election of John Sharp Williams as a member of tbat body. He is well liked and his ability is disputed by none. The announcement by Governor Hughes tbat "Barkis is willm' has aroused multitudinous and di verse sensations in the breast of the Republican Pegotty, anticipations that are not altogether pleasurable, however interesting the prospect may be for the country at large. The prediction is made in political circles in Washington that the seat of war in the Republicaqj-arty will now be transferred to the New Eng land States and that the Ohio con- flict will look like a skirmish when compared with bis Waterloo be tween the Roosevelt policies led Hy Tuft, and the corporations interests beaded by Hughes. The develop ments of the next few months will be watched with the most absorbing interest by the country at large. There are somo men in the Dem ocraticiparty who occupy responsi. ble positions in the councils of the. r party in the House ef Representa Uvea that believe their party's wel fare will not be best subserved by the nomination of Mr. Bryan for the Presidency; and ' so when Champ Clark nominated bim in the Horse this week the demonstration creat ed through tbe art of oratory, w ith which the eloquest Missourian is so familiar, did not strike a responsive chord in tbe breast of every Demo erst on the floor. These men believe that, twice defeated as the candidate on the Democratic party. Mr Bryan's candidacy would, under existing conditions, be just as fatal to success in 1908 as it was in 1896 and 1900, and they believe , that the party should seek out some man who can briog strength and confidence to the national ticket, uemocrau woo nav unhesitatingly urged tha withdrawal of Bryan as the only road which would lead to party success, joined with their colleagues in the demon stration, .though tbey deprecated anything which would appear to commit tbe minority members of the House as a whole to the person, al cause of Mr. Bryan? That the Re publican joined in tha cheers at the mention of Bryan's nam was signi ficant,.
