Mr. and Mrs. J. M Montague
entertained Judge Stockslager and
Hon. Frank Wyman at a fine wild
game dinner at their residence one
day last week.
About 30 young friends last Fri
day evening proceeded to the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. John Brady
and greatly surprised Miss Josie, in
whose honor the call was made.
Feasting and fun was the order of
the evening and a very enjoyable
time was spent by the young folks.
Sunday night, about half an hour
before the arrival of the east-bound
train Mrs. John Wilkins received a
telegram saying that her sister Mrs.
Donley, was lying dangerously ill
at her home in Denver and request
ing her presence in that city at the
earliest moment. Notwithstanding
the very short time allowed for pre
paration. Mrs. Wilkins hastily ar
ranged matters and departed that
evening for the bedside of her sister.
Mrs. Donlev is well and favorably
known in Mountain Home, and her
friends hope that her condition is
not so serious as reported.
A bright little schoolboy came
into the Bulletin office Sunday
with a smile upon his face and said:
"Did you notice Mr. Simple Simp
son's bad grammar and bad spell
ing in his paper yesterday?" With
a feeling of shame for the newspaper
fraternity, we were compelled to
acknowledge to the boy that bad
grammar and general imbecility
was conspicuously in evidence in
the Jap organ since Simple Simp
son's brother got disgusted and left
that concern. "Yes, sir," said the
lad, "Them dogs and ponies," and
"has came," and "they was," and
many other like expressions he used
are corkers on the school Mr. Sim
ple Simpson attended, ain't they?"
and the small hoy departed whist
ling "Chippy get your.hair cut."
Joe Montague and wife went to
the reservoir a few days ago to
shoot ducks. The web-foots were
wild and it was difficult to get with
in gunshot range of them, and the
worthy couple were almost discour
aged, when Mrs M. discovered at
close range the tail end of a duck
protruding from a couple of rocks
close to shore. She notified Joe of
her discovery and he cautiously
gained a good position to get that
duck the first shot—and he did—
his aim being so true that the watery
bird scarcely gave a kick. Secur
ing it, they returned home antici
pating a nice fry for breakfast. But
when Mrs. Montague attempted to
clean the duck she found it badly
decomposed, and it suddenly dawn
ed upon her mind that Joe had shot
a dead duck and that she had
another good joke on the old man.
However, Mr. Montague is very re
ticent about that particular duck
huut.

The New Postal Money Order.
Deputy Postmaster Fred Turner
informs us that as soon as his pre-
sent stock of money order blanks
is exhausted he will commence the
use of the new style, which went
into effect September 4th. The old
supply, Mr. Turner thinks, will be
exhausted early in November.
These orders are the same size as
the ordinary l>ank draft and are
calculated to become a factor in the
exchange of the country. They
may be sent for collection through
the bankH the same as a check or
draft, room being left on the reverse
side for stamping purposes.
The advice to postmasters is a
carbonized reproduction of the orig
inal, this being an entirely new de
parture in the system and a prac
tical and meritorious one. When
the order is issued a receipt is
handed the buyer of the same, just
as is the custom of the express com
panies in their money order depart
ments. This constitutes proof of
the purchase of an order should the
order itself be destroyed.
The color of the new money or
der is blue—a light blue ground,
with fine, closely interlaced, tinted
lines of geometrical lathe work of
somewhat darker shade. In the
corner is an escutcheon liearing the
words "Postal Money Order" in
shaded letters. The number of the
order and the name of the office are
printed in red. The rest of the
printing is black. The paper is of
fine quality, especially made for the
department, and the water marks
preceptible when
held in the light, runs horizontally
through the sheets.
This new class of orders is good
for one year and is one more step
toward postal savings banks, which
means an advantage to the people,
and will therefore undoubtedly be
frowned upon and combatted by
the banks and corporations.

ED. HALL'S GOOD LUCK.
A Eiellevue Boy's Sudden Trans

Kd. Hall, formerly a resident of
Bellevue, has "struck it rich"
: r\ mi
in Oregon, i ears ago hd. was an
• . . . 4 . . __
industrious citizen of Broadford, j
but being a cripple he could not
endure hard labor, and it was with
difficulty that he kept the larder of
his aged parents well supplied J
Several years ago Ed. and bis pa
rents removed to Oregon, where he
learned assaying, and for some time \
be has been employed in an assay
office at bumpter. Since Sumpter
has come into prominence as a gold
mining camp, Ed. made a "blind
location on a mountain side and
induced his father to start a tunnel
and run for a "blind lode"—Ed.
. , . 4 . , « ,
agreeing to assist the old gentleman
all he could during his spare mo
merits. The old man worked dili
gently for months, with occasional}
help from his son. and succeeded in '
penetratihg the mountain several |
hundred feet. The family was still
quite poor and the old lady even
took in washing to help in their
support.
One evening, a few weeks ago,
the old gentleman went down home
from the tunnel with his pockets
full of rooks. "Where's your wash
tub, Mrs. Hall." were his first words
on entering, and nothing more. It
being pointed out, he forthwith
seized an axe and demolished the
faithful old tub in a jiffy. He then
entered the house and proceeded to
throw out doors the well-worn fur
niture, including the old lady's
highly-prized old-time rocker. Mrs.
Hall, becoming alarmed and be
lieving her husband crazy, ran out
and called for help, and when she
and her neighbors entered the old
man was dancing a jig of joy. He
finally cooled down and informed
the astonished crowd that the old
lady, Ed. and himself were now
rich—that he had "struck it big in
the tunnel," and to verify bis as
sertion he produced several speci
mens of rock glittering with gold.
When Ed. came to supper be was
overjoyed to hear the old man's
story, and that night they spent
proving the width of the new bo
nanza, which was five feet from wall
to wall and immensely rich.
A noted and wealthy mining man
chanced to be at Sumpter and Ed.
confided to him about his luckv
strike, took him to examine the
ledge and permitted him to take
away samples of the ore. In a few
days this gentleman returned to
Sumpter and, hunting up Ed.,
asked how much cash he wanted
for his mine,
give?" was Ed's reply,
dred and fifty thousand dollars,"
coolly responded the mining opera
tor. "Take it!" said Ed.
And now the young cripple who
at Broadford, on Wood river, only
a few years ago was struggling for
his daily bread, is the possessor of
a handsome fortune, and will guard
well the future comfort of his aged
parents.

horse, being a gentle and faithful
animal, was soon brought to a halt
by Joe Helfrieh, who aided Mrs.
