UNCONVENTIONAL SENATOR PET
TUS.

Senator Pettus is a rough diamond.
He wears shabby clothes, is an lnvet-
crate chewer of tobacco and pays little
heed to any of the conventionalit1es OF
life. which he does not scorn, but sim
ply will not take the trouble to OBJ
serve. He is, however, one of the most
erudite men in the upper house; few
equal him in brightness and quickness
at repartee, and it is recorded Of him
that he never said stupid thing in his
political life. His language, too, is
very picturesque, and when he cannot
find the exact word he coins one.
The green bag, supposed to be peculiar
to lawyers, is not strange to official cir
cles at the capital, a number OF solons
having adopted this traditional re-
ceptacle for the carrying of their pa
pers, but Senator Pettus is more practl-
cal. He does not wish to be annoyed
with looking after bag, and so puts
mis- documents in his picturesque slouch
hat, which is heavy with it's load OF
petitions, bills, letters and what not
when he starts from his home, on Cap

- TRANSFORMED BY WOMEN.

Dissatisfied with the progress OF the
town under masculine rule, the women
of Healdsburg, Cal, gently but flrmly
took possession of the reins and are
now driving the municipal coach their
own way. Their organization is called
the Ladies' Improvement club OF
Healdsburg and it was formed IN Au-
gust of last year. Since that time-ln
the short space of seven months this
is what the club has accomplished:
A municipal water system, munich
pal electric plant, comfortable seats
placed in the plaza, names given to the
streets, signboards with street names
placed at street corners, drinking
fountain for the plaza costing $500.
All these improvements had been dis
cussed for years by the men. 1t re-
NAMED for the women to make them
realities. And, with the exception OF
the electric light plant and the water
system, the city taxes have not been
increased by as much as farthing 10
raw for these things

WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS.

The shirt waist girl is with US.
Some peoples level best is pretty
low down.
The plastic period in a mans life is
when he falls in love.
You never feel so stupid as when you
want to be particularly bright.
Women ought to know the colors
they can wear and then stick to them.
It gives one a most peculiar sensa-
ton to be told, "Why, / thought you
were dead"
To be thoroughly convinced Of the
value of time you have only to watch a
lot of women trying to crowd on an
elevator.
II only half the nice things that are
said after people are dead were only
told while they are alive, how much
more happiness there would be in the
world.
The young woman who contradicts
her mother PUBLICLY may prove her SUI
perior knowledge, but she does not
gain anything in the estimation OF
those around her.

WHEN A BACHELOR PAYS CALLS

An unmarried man in calling at a
house where there are a mother and
daughter, or any married woman and
other women relatives, leaves one
card for the host and hostess, one for
the daughters, and one for any guest
who may be staying with them. No
matter how many there may be in the
family, he should leave no more than
three cards. Whatever the terms on
which he may stand with the brothers
or other masculine members of the
family, he leaves no cards for them
at the time of making his general call
on the family The exception is the
head of the house, and he leaves a card
for him after he has had call from
him, or it's social equivalent, an
invitation.-Leah LancefOrd in
Woman's Home Companion.

PROPER sELF-ESTIMATION.

He who undertakes himself is Justly
undervalued by others-Hazlitt.
They are the weakest, however
strong, who have no faith in them
selves or their powers. -Bovee.
Proper self-estimation is needful for
due regulation of our efforts in rela-
ton to their ends. Underestimation of
self involves the letting slip of ad-
vantages that might have been gained.
Overestimation of self prompts at
tempts which fail from want Of due
capacity. In either case there is an
average of evil experimentation
missed or effort thrown away.-Her-
bert Spencer.

THE OLD UNFINISHED CHAMBER

The old unfinished chamber!"-
/ shut my eyes and see
The massive, smoke-browned ratters'
Each hewn from some huge tree;
No medieval castle
Fer boosted ribs more stout;
No widest wind of winter
Could shake them with its rout
And yet they condescended
To yield ungrudged support
To traces trim of popcorn
For winter evenings sport;
To festooned wealth of apple,
And wrinkled rings galore,
OF pie-prophetic pumpkin,
And grandma's treasured store
Of peppermint and spearmint
Skull-cap and sage and dill,
Worawood and balm and catnip-
Sure cure for every i'll.
Small need had we of doctors!
At slightest hint of pain
Came grandma with her herb drink,
And we were well again.
I see the huge old chimney,
Up which the wood fires roared,
On every side surrounded
BY all our childish hoard
Of hazelnuts and beechnuts,
Gathered in golden days,
While saucy chipmunks scolded,
And all the woodland ways
Were gay in gold and scarlet,
And all the air was sweet
With breath of glorious autumn,
Whose wealth was at our feet.
1 see the small-paned windows
That, in winters night,
Would win to wondrous beauty
Of tracery azure-white.
Scenes of the sunny south land.
With towering tropic trees,
Pictures of polar regions
And iceberg-haunted seas,
A. that we read and dreamed of,
That travellers tales rehearse,
We saw In our still corner
Of the great universe.
Then, when the days grew longer
And weak the winters chains.
From some dim, dreaming Granny,
Out on the sunny panes
Big, sleepy flies crept staidly,
With dazed, bewildered mein,
AS though they scarce remembered
The once familiar scene;
But when, by sunshine wakened,
They raised their CHEEKY hum,
We knew that they were telling
"For true" that spring had come.
All, dreamy, blissful memories
Of dear, dim rainy days!
We could not Ego a-fshing,"
And all our outdoor plays
Were set aside. What cared We?
We knew the latch-string stout
Of the old unfinished chamber"
Was always hanging out.
What frolics meath the rafters!
What masquerading fine
In garments worn and faded,
Fashioned in "auld lang synei"
What happy hearted laughter,
What songs untouched by pain,
Blent with the obligato
Unceasing of the rain!
Dear old unfinished chamber!
No palace fairer seems
None to my heart is nearer
In all the land of dreams.
Minnie L. Upton.
