On his way from Washington after the adjournment of the last :ossi m of congress, he was introduced on the train to an eastern woman, who im- mediately began to tell a long, sad story about the robber-like praCtices of western people in general, and Idaho men in particular. “My husband was a traveling man." she explained, in a lachry- mose voice. ”and one,night in Boise City some of your people gave him too much to drink, so rmch in fact that he didn't know what he was doing. The next morning he waited up and discovered that he had bought $1,400 worth of mining stock at four cents a share. Think of that. the greatest outrage I ever heard of! I have never even looked up the mine in which the stock was sold. but the experience has taught me that west- ern promoters are merely burglars. My poor, dear husband was robbed as surely as if those men had held him at the point of a gun." Mr.Borah asked the name of the mine, and she told him. Without say- ing a word, he picked up a newspa- per and pointed to the stock quota- tions. Right there that Niche-like woman got the shock of her life. The stock was shown to be worth $140,- 000 thaf day.â€"Popular Magazine. Great Swindle That Made Good The new board consists of A. C. Brown, George M. Rounds and R. E.
