To the inmates of that charming sane.
tum, the home library, Mrs. Oliver Bell
Bunce offers, in Good Housekeeping, the
following words of sound advice: 1T should
be acknowledged by every we'll regulated
family that there are times for converse
ton, and that the library is room granted
to be room of ceremony. where intellec-
tual desire should be treated with respect.
Every guest should observe the propriety
OF silence. There is time to talk and a

The meeting Of the editors OF Chehalis
county at Westport last week was great
success. The Vidette says: "There
were many causes which served to make
our stay in Westport a delightful occasion,
but by common consent everyone steps
aside to give full credit for the successful
management of the affair to w. F.
Thompson, "creator of the World" He
it was who called the meeting and car
ried it through to successful ending.
This required several weeks OF arduous
labor, to the sacrifice of every business
interest of his own. A handsome line Of
printing, much of it elaborat, and all at
tractive and tasty, was furnished by him.
Wednesday was large devoted to a
business session of the association. Per-
manent organization was effected by
eleeting the following officers:
PRESIDENT. w. Divilbiss.
Vice-President-C. J, Coghlan.
Secretary-O. NJ. Moore.
Treasurer-W. E. Thompson.
1t is believed that as a reIult Of this
meeting and the foundation of this orga-
nization, some practical results will be
obtained, which will be to the best inter-
ests ofthe entire county. A better under
standing between the editors themselves
no doubt exists, and while no one need
expect that every editor considers his con-
temporary an angel, it will probably be
at least week or more before one says
anything really mean about another. One
thing may, however, be expected, and We
believe the people Of the entire county
will rejoice over it; in the future nothing
disparaging of any town or community
will be found in the columns of the
county press.
A movement was also started which il
the citizens of the county will give it the
encouragement we predict, will do much
towards bringing to the attention of the
people visiting the Worlds Fair, the adj
vantages, resources and possibilities Of
Chehalis county. The association SUBJ
mits the proposition, and will use every
effort to make it success, but everything
depends upon the interest and liberality
of the people.
Briefly the idea is as follows: To offer
valuable prize for the best, fullest and
most comprehensive article on Chehalis
county; such articles not to contain less
than five thousand words; when duly
accredited committee shall have decided
which article submitted is the best, it
shall be published in each newspaper in
the county which stall be done free Of
charge. Afterwards, this article, perhaps
with other matter, to be printed in suita-
BILE form and distributed where it will &C.
complish the greatest good, the idea being
to have it ready for the Worlds Faii
With this in view the following commit.
tee, to be known as the Worlds Fair ad-
vertising committee, whose duty it is to
solicit funds to carry out this plan, was
appointed: Westport, X. E. Hasbrouck /;
Ocosta, F. G. Deckebach; Hoquiam, F.
D. Arnold and j. G. Mcmillan; Aber-
deem, W. B. Mack and Geo. D. Allen /;
Cosmopolis, G. F. White; Montesano, G..
M. Cochran and E. G. Story; Elma, B.
R. Martin; Porter, A. Boyer; Oakville,
D. E. Vernon.

with burning, aching feet, nothing relieves

In strong solution of alum water will pre-.

A TEMPEST in the tea pot has been
started in Tacoma by minister thanking
God that some young lady was better
than her creed. 1t is just such con-
troversies that bring creeds into reproach.
Certainly if the young lady was better
than her creed, it was matter to be
thankful for. Surely the creed, under
such circumstances, should not feel Of
Tended or hurt. 1t would be cause OF
universal Thanksgiving were we all better
than our creeds.

Origin of the Word Grnmercy.

The word Gramercy, used to designate
the locality Gramercy park in New York
city, is, according to Walsh, derived from
der Kromwe See," which is the name
given to that district on an old map. The
word became famous in American politics
through the sobriquet Creamery Sage, or
Sage Of Creamery Park, applied by his ad-
mirers to Samuel J. Tilden, who lived In
that neighborhood.

The population of Washington is
roughly one-third that Of the city Of
Chicago, yet it is state with an acre for
every man, woman and child in the
United States, and with resources as
diversified as Pennsylvania, California,
Michigan and the Dakotas. Washing
tonians are just beginning to realize its
possibilities, and when we realize that
the state is capable of supporting and will
support a population Of four of five
millions, it is not difficult to see that the
Grays Harbor country, as one of the best
sections of the whole state, will come in
for it's full share of prosperity.

The supreme court of Washington has
decided that where the capital of cor
poration is fixed in it's charter the corpo-
ration has no authority to begin business
until the whole amount of such capital
has been subscribed Hence it follows
that members cannot be required to pay
assessments until the full capital stock is
subscribed. The court decides further
that under the existing laws of this state
one corporation cannot subscribe to the
capital stock of another CORPORATION.
