In A New Light.

The young woman was trying to
persuade her father to give his con-
sent to her accepting very worthy
young man he did not want her to
marry, and he was stubborn.
"But, papa" she insisted, che is
the man of my choice"
"Well, eisn'tthe man Of my choice,
and you shall not marry him. he pre-
sisted.
The girl grew firm at once.
"Now, look here, papa" she said.
"Some day my daughter will probably
come to her father as I'm coming to
you, and she will ask him what | am
asking you, and he will refuse, as
you are doing. Then my daughter
will say coaxingly to her father,
But, papa, you were mammals choice,
and then, in reply to that would you
like to have that man say to your
granddaughter. NO, | wasn't, ! was
your grandfather's choice! Answer
me that. Do you think it would be
a pleasant thing for that man to say
to your granddaughter"
The father blinked two or three
times and rubbed his dome of thought.
.tUm-er-um" he hesitated. "IJ
hadn't quite struck me in that way
before. | guess you can have your
way about it," and up to date nobody
has heard any cause to regret the
girls successful argument.-Detroit

There is nothing like feeling tina

There is nothing like feeling that
one is appreciated or remembered by
friends. Possibly this is more keenly
felt by the young whose finer sensi-
bilities have not been dulled by con-
tact with the sterner realities of life.
At any rate it is safe to say that Miss
Music Landman and her younger
sister, Mabel, fully appreciated the
courtesy Of surprise party rendered
them by school mates last Saturday
evening at the town hall. The affair
was finely planned for surprise.
When the young people had all as
sembled the two Misses Landmans
we're sent for and they could hardly
believe that the party had convened
in their honor. Ice-cream was served
and the affair rendered pleasant in
many ways. 1t was intended as a
birthday party for each of the recipi-
ents, one of whom would be eighteen
the next day and the other being
eleven the day before. Each one
was presented with valuable presents
from school mates and Miss Music
with fine gold watch from her ia
ther and cousin, w. H. Landman,
given as recognition in part, for the
valuable service she had endered in
the store. The presentation speech
was made in very happy manner BY
Lyle Pierce and appropriately re-
sponded to by Miss Music.

organize such lodge, and it is expected
that the arrangements will be perfected

soldiers recently, a veteran aptly remark
ed, ''They are now veterans of time as
well as of war. Mos. of them are near
ing the verge of life. A few more years
and they will be seen among men no
more" 1t is impossible to feel indiffer-

memory of men who gave to the world
examples of heroism and achievements
greater than it had known before An
honest pride should bring the SON OF

THE POPS CONVENTION.
Pierce for Governor and Boise
for Supreme Judge.

From all accounts, the populis5 state con
vention held last week IN Oregon City, wa
sorry affair. The day was dark an
gloomy and in measure probably added t.
the seemingly depressed condition of the
delegates. Many efforts were made by the
leaders to create some enthusiasm but all
proved futile. Songs and occasional bursts
Of eloqence from these cheap money oraters
failed tn inspire the souls Of their hearers
with an enthusiastic desire for party sue
cess. They seem disheartcued, apparently
realizing that the success of the republican
party next June, is an assured fact. They
were there to nominate ticket but seemed
to have no hopes that any of their nomi
nees would be victorious. The affair appear
ed to have been cut and dried by disgrun-
tied renegades from the two old parties, long
before the convention met, and the unso-
phisticated delegates, like lambs to the
slaughter, were led by these old political
soreheads.
AT o'clock the regular order of business
was suspended and the state ticket taken
up. Nathan Pierce was nominated for gov.
ernor, and Z. Caldwell for state treasurer.
Then the convention adjourned for supper,
after which district nominations were made
as follows:

Ter; second district, joseph Wa!drop.
