Dear Friend: Yours of the 8th inst.
is at hand. Enclosed please find your
receipt, signed, for $560.71, so promptly
paid oh account of my accident in Bis
bee in June last.
Your kindness in advancing me $160
before I was able to present my claim,
and the promptness of the company in
the settlement of my claim, I shall never
forget. Yes, renew my policy when it
runs out and send me a bill for the pre
mium to this place. I am now engaged
in superintending James Carr's business
in this place, and collecting and keeping
his accounts. If necessary, change my
rate accordingly. Yours ve.7 truly.
Thos. J. Jones.

policy assured his wife $5,000 in case of
his accidental death, and him $25 a "week
if accidentally disabled. By accidental
discharge of a rifle he was totally dis

Therefore he received from the old relia
ble Travelers $560.71.

cheapest. J. V. VlCKERS.

It was a Sabbath morning jh tho early
autumn, and the sexton met him' in tho
vestibule of the sanctuary. "You appear
to bo a stranger, sir; shall I show you a
seat? Would you like to go down
front?" "Down front, is it? I should
rather say I did! I am tho regularly or

The editor of the Cotur tTAlepe Record

Thompson. Subscribe quick, so we can
pay tho charges and get it here." It is
tone hoped that subscribers will como
in and .that the troubled editor of the
Record can get a head. He is not the
only man in Idaho who finds it hard'
work to get ahead.
A man carrying a cross-cut saw and a

experience in chopping wood, and ho
thought ho could hock out a few illustra

marked improvement over thoso it had
recently published. As strange as it
may appear, ho was not engaged.

be a regular condenser?" R. "Yes,
that was my plan, and I attempted to
carry it out" B. "Well?" R.
''Well, I set out to write, but I'm blessed
if 1 could think of anything to con

"I do."
"Well, suppose you wero calling on a
customer, should you consider it a hint
to leave if ho ordered you to clear out of
tho room?"
"I should consider that an invitation
to remain."
"Suppose ho kicked you down-stairs?"
"I should regard that as a pleasant
introduction."
"What should you regard as a hint to
leave?"
"I will toll you from my own exper
ience. Last winter, wishing to study
Greek, and having no money, I cast to
remain at the Presbyterian hospital as
an invalid. As ill-luck would have it I
grow so fat in a fortnight that groan as
loud as I would, they told me to leave.
I only clung the closer to my berth.
Tho good doctors then kicked mo out of
tho door, but I climbed back though tho
window. At length they told mo that
all tho beds wero taken, and that I must
sleep in the dissecting-room. I slept
liko a top for a week. But ono day a
drunken student came into the room
brandishing a huge knife, and cried
out: "Where's that new subject?" I
lay still till ho had thrust his knife two
or three inches into my side. Then,
fearing that all my members would se
cede unless I did something desperate. I
cried out 'I take the hint,1 and skipped."

A New Loom.
The Hunt loom, now in operation in
San Francisco, if all that is said of it
is true, is a most important contribution
to labor-saving machinery. As described
by a correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, tho loom is noiseless, has no shut
tle, and weaves material four yards
wide, of any kind of goods, with tho
same hands and steam power now re
quired to make one yard. Tho labor is
so lightened that it is better adapted to
women than to mon, and women are
enabled to weave more and produce bet
ter work than men, with tho great ad
vantage that tho most delicate constitu
tions need not bo impaired. Cloth
woven three yards wide is mado so that
it can be cut apart after being woven,
making threo separate ana distinct
pieces of cloth for market Tho quality
of cloth is said to bu superior and easy
to recognize. Tho loom is now in prao-'
tical operation and does all it promises,
but "has every now and then littlo
breakages, so far easily repaired. Ex
perts and business men aro divided in
sentiment All agree that it must bo
all rightbut it may take more time than
calcinated to assure against the break
ing of small but essential parts."
