reproved, with some severity, two or three
women who were interrupting her lecture
on the hygienic preparation of food by
thumbing over books in which were pasted
written recipes that had come down as fam
lily heirlooms.

Pythianism has made great strides Of re-

times the Knights of Pythias went forward
like everything else, with a rush, but the
growth was neither healthy nor permanent.
Quite naturally the slump came, and for a
period Pythiansm languished. Enough of
the faithful to maintain a strong province

Nixon Waterman, formerly of New York,
but for some time a resident of Boston, has
been talking to the New England Woman's
Press association about poets and poetry.
Mr.. Waterman has written a good deal of
capital verse himself, chiefly in the lighter
vein. He seems from what he said to have
a poor opinion of poets generally, they and
their works being, in his judgment, apt to
be visionary. Poets, he says, lack in abil-
ity to view life in a practical way, and he
also thinks that practical poetry would
please the public better than a good deal
of what is now written.

E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids, Ia, who
was selected by President Roosevelt to be
a member of the commission which will in
vestigate the anthracite coal troubles, was
chosen as a prominent sociologist." The
definition given the word in this connec-
ton is lone who has studied the conditions
and circumstances under which society Is
constituted from a practical standpoint"
Mr.. Clark is recognized as meeting this
requirement. He has been prominent only
by reason of his connection with the Order
of Railway Conductors, one Of the great
brotherhoods Of railway employees, of which
he has been president. Owing to his con-
sentative views and measures he has at
tracted little attention from the public,
but the members of his order know how
energetic and how provident he has been
in forwarding their interests. His appoint
ment by President Roosevelt to a position
on the commission was especially crafty
ing to organized laber throughout the coun-
try, for in Mr.. Clark the unions recognize
a man who will guard their interests fully
while doing full and impartial justice to
the claims of the mine owners.

survival I'm the Coronation.

1t is so long since we elected our
nominal rulers that many Of us forget
that king was ever on the footing of
a Roman consul or an American presi-
dent. Yet survival of that early
practice is still to be heard in the coro-
nation service. ''Sirs," said the arch
bishop of Canterbury after Queen Vic
toria had entered the abbey and shown
herself in the prescribed ritual to her
people on all sides, 81 here present to
you Queen Victoria, the undoubted
queen of this realm: Wherefore all
you who come this day to do your hom-
age, are you willing TO do the same?''

the remaining shadow of the old Teu-
tonic custom of choosing the most
capable or popular man in the nation
to be itsleader or ruler.-London Spec

is is the Natural Gateway and OutfittIng Point

of the State, is here today in
connection with the establish
ment of a stage line from Mack
ay, the present terminal of the
Salmon river branch of the Ore
gon Short Line, to the Thunder
mountain country, via. Challis.
In company with Mr.. @. G. Taut-
phaus of Idaho Falls, who will
probably inaugurate the stage
service, Mr.. Roberts recently
made the trip from Mackay to
Thunder mountain and return in
twenty one days. The journey
was started with pack animals
and completed on snow shoes,
and from the observations made,
combined with his knowledge of
central Idaho and other possible
passes he is convinced that the
line via. Challis is the best route
that can be obtained. The dis
lance from Mackay to Challis,
over which the Salmon River Ry
is to be extended this spring is
only SO miles. and the divide be-
tween the headwaters of the Lost
river and those of the Salmon is
so low that it is scarcely notice
able. Over this line there is now
an excellent stage service, and
the trip is made at all seasons of
the year with no discomforts.
From Chalhs into Thunder
mountain is about IS miles, fol
lowing the water courses and the
lines of least resistance, and it is
over this stretch that Messrs.
Tautphaus and Roberts propose
to build the stage line. The des-
cription of this country by Mr..
Roberts is vivid and from it is
seen that there is more actual
knowledge of the topography Of
Alaska today than there is of the
} interior of Idaho. Numerous
rivers of size were encountered
whose courses are not even trac
ed in the latest maps sent out by
the Interior Department. Unit
t the discoveries of last season i
t was a vertiable terra incognito.
The route selected for thC
proposed stage line was from
