IT Is WELL TO HAVE 'AOTHEHs DAYS.
l was having visit from my son whom had
not seen for over year. So many friends
wanted him to visit them that was glad to have
them and him happy, even though 1t took him
from me. But at last there came day when /
wanted him to go with me to see the work am
so interested in, our East side-our settlement
work. Ana l said to him Now have been
willing that others should have you for the
many days past, but to-day l want you;" he
smiled and said: at shall be just as you want,
and win call this mother's day" The words
stayed with me-"mother's dayr He was as
good as his word. He devoted the day to me,
did everything that he thought would make me
happy. but | could not get over the words,

] know many of us give days TO mothers
meetings among the poor. We have mothers
meeting every week at the settlement, where
we do all in our power to make the poor. tired
mothers happy; and we have days we call Deco

up TO one thing; but none of these was asso-
ciated with what came to my mind when my son

full to me to have my son give a whole day that
he playfully called mothers day. all to me.
OF course this set me to thinking IL it would
not be lovely to have children once In while
devote day to their mothers. and say: ''Now
this is mothers day, and i am going to just
give up the day to my mother. TO do everything
that think would please her. May be some
thing new to wear would please her, so will go
out with her and have her get som, thing for her
self, for she is almost always thinking of what
something for herself. Or will go with her to
see some of her old friends; may be she some
times thinks she would like TO go. but don care
to go alone. Something out of the usual way 1
am going to do for mother to-day, for this is

THE PRIME MOVE.

o. B. Written, OF Portland, prominent
Odd Fellow, and past grand master of
TIE order, is the prime mover in this OBJ
ject, and for the past four years he hes
used his utmost endeavars to bring 1t
about. He has been very much interested
In 1t, and through his untiring efforts the
action has been presented for several
years before the grand Lodge, and has now
been fully recommended by the grand
master, who endorsed 1t at the 1902 ses-
sion.
His efforts, 1t seems, are now about to
bring the success they deserve, as it is
very likely that he grand lodge will rea-
lize the need of such home in this State.
and will take more dec ded steps in regard
to its establishment.

Leckenby,s Color Photography.

A great deal of interest was aroused
among our readers by our recent an
~nouncement of the discovery OF a pro-
cess to record the natural colors in
photographs by A.. B. Leckenby, and
we have since received a number OF
letters asking for further information
relative thereto. We in turn directed
an inquiry to Mr.. Leckenby, asking
when he would be able to publish the
bulletin he has in preparation, and in
which. he proposes to reveal the meth
DDS employed, and also to give com
plete directions, enabling anyone to
make color photographs. In reply he
says:

thing with it for some time as my as
sistant is away and every day brings
all the duties that I can possibly at
tend to.

A bill introduced in the house at
Olympia, Feb. II, by Megler of Wah-
kiakum, which was a duplicate of S.
B. 155, introduced in the senate by
Rands of Clark. The bill calls for an
appropriation of $1,000 for the Lewis
and Clark Centennial, and also pro-
vides for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of a nonpartisan board of more
than five members, who will serve
until January, 1906. No salary will
be paid the commissioners, but they
will be allowed expenses. They are to
meet within three months after the
act becomes a law and select from
their number a secretary and a presi-
dent. They shall also appoint an
executive commissioner, with a salary
of not more than $3.50 per month, when
actually engaged. The executive COM
missioner is empowered to do all neces-
sary work to secure a complete and
creditable display of the products and
interests of the state at the Exposition.
He shall make monthly reports to the
commission, and shall hold Office at
their pleasure. All state bureaus, in
Guiding mining, horticulture, agricul-
ture, fisheries and others, are author

the expenses of the farm by farming
fewer acres and making the soil o
productive each year, getting the best
results from the least expense OF la
Dor, which is the result of education
gained in colleges and from the bulle-
tins of experiment stations. =.
It goes without saying that the up
to-date farmer who studies facts, as
our great financiers study monetary
conditions which affect the commercial
world. will succeed and in time become
not only wealthy, but influential in a
community. 1t is a mistake to think
a farmer ear win without study. sys-

good papers which enlighten him as
to the best methods to be employed in
carrying on his chosen work.

News these days travels rapidly.
must have reached the ears Of Sen
ator Addison G. Foster that The
hanch was the recipient recently OF
a package of free seeds from Repre-
sentative w. l.. Jones; for there has
come to hand a bunch of n dozen
packets, each bearing the trademark
Oh Senator Foster in the upper right
hand corner. Here is new evidence
that the best work in Congress is
not done by the most gifted orators
and debaters, but in the committee
rooms. In the government distribu-
ton of free seeds Representative
Jones secures for us but n pack
age containing a half dozen assorted
varieties, while Senator Foster quietly
draws out for us a full twelve pack
ages, each containing watermelon, let
tuce, tomato, radish, parsnip, tomato
and beet seeu. The Ranch thus sub
sidized becomes Senator Fosters
champion, and will urge his re-elec-
ton. He may not be one of the trust
busters, nor be able to get the Lake
Washington canal dug, nor the Column
bia river opened, but he is without
a doubt the greatest seed hustler
ever.
