become much interested in a move
mant to bring such an idea 10 a pTac-
tical conclusion. The suggested form
is that of an Old ladies' nome, to be
named the W. J. Parkinson memorial,
to be built at Jackson
There is an Old Ladies Home Asso-
citation organized there now which has
three acres Of land as site for a
building. A New York friend and ad-
mirer OF Col. Parkinson, who does not
wish his name disclosed as yet. has
cOntlngently promised gift that will
enable the association to build the
home at Jackson, and then it will be
supported and managed by the state
officials. A number of the prominent
women of New York and Mississippi
have interested themselves in the
project. and it is expected that the
necessary preliminary details will be
completed soon and the project
brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
Col. Parkinson represented What
com county in the state senate in the
days before the county was divided
into TWO senatorial districts. He
sprang into prominence suddenly. and
his career in Washington was some
what meteoric. In February, 1899,
he came TO Whatcom county and took
up a claim. Scarcely had he become
resident of the state before he was
nominated and elected state senator
by the republican party in the fall of
1889 He was chosen president pro
tenn. Of the senate and distinguished
himself by acquiring the sobriquet of
"Bluejay" Parkinson, given him by
reason of his introducing a measure
providing for the determination of
bluejays. This name always chung to
him in Washington.
After his term of office expired Col.
Parkinson left the state for the south
He is remembered by the old timers
in northwest politics as a hail fellow

The Passing Of The Milkmaid,

We have read the poets pleasing rhyme
Of tho gay milkmaid OF the 0lden time
And the brlmming pail that she poised on her
Like a queenly crown" SO the poet said;
" The milk house with pans and crooks
ana c0ld spring water. and moss grown rocks,
And The mellow tune Of the waters song
As It run its crystal course along.
And we've read also OF the .butter Of gold"
That this maiden chtlrned in these DAYS of
old;
And the Skinner she used "like dainty SHE'LL"
That lifted the cream from the milk SO we'll
And the poet found In the chuIn she'd use.
A fitting theme to inspire his muse,
And told how the dainty globules broke
Like golden beads beneath her stroke
But alas ,..how sadly the flight of time
Has ruin wrought to the poets rhyme;
And left us nought to tell to-day
Of the dairy maid and her gentle way.
For the dairy maid 1s dairy man
With blue jean pants and big milk can;
And the old milk-house has given way
70 the modern creamery Of to-day.
And the brimming pans no longer cool
In The babbling stream or the limDld pool.
That parts the milk from the pure casein,
And the best trained calf so the experts say,
Can't tell fresh milk from this new made whey.
And a man can't tell that the butter he buys
Is made from cream or from oil and dyes;
For all the things Of the poets dream
Iiaye lost their place IL this age OF steam;
And the dairy maid has had her day.
And the creamery manhas come to stay.
And the next advance we look for now
Is for some machine to supplant the cow

Only a Few Real Criminals.

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth has
published the first chapters Of the
story Of her life and work in Leslie s.
Monthly for October and they made
an article not only interesting but
of great permanent value. She tells
not only what she has done for our
prisoners but what she is doing to-
day. We quote the following there
from:
"My experience gained by close
contact with the men in our prisons
during the last seven years has con.
vinceed me that but a small percent
age Of the $4,000 now within prison
walls should be called criminals at
heart. In this statement I have been
endorsed by wardens who have had
a far longer and more intimate ex-
perience than /, and whose duty it
is to watch very closely the actions,
character and tendencies Of the men
under their charge.
Ibeiieve that in every mans heart.
however hardened or hopeless the
exterior, there is some tender spot, if
one knows rightly how to touch it,
some chord Of sweetness that can be
made to vibrate to the very harmony
Of heaven, amid all the jangling dis
cords of life. Many, many instances
could / cite, but I will quote
one case Of kindness which came
under my personal observation
A young man was serving a twen-
ty years term in prison. Only a year
more stood between him and liberty.
The old mother, over seventy years
of age. who had stood by her boy
all through these weary years, was
very sick and reduced to direst pow
erty. Her husband had died and she
had reached the point where sick
ness made earning impossible and
eviction was imminent. In this hour
of distress she appealed to her boy
for help. He was able to make little
money by overtime work. 1t was very
little. Only cent anda half a day,
or five dollars in a whole year. He
found on referring to the warden
that he had already sent all he pos
sessed to his mother. The thought
of her need and possible death from
want drove him nearly to distraction,
land yet he felt himselfutterly power
less to help her. In the same prison
was another man, also serving twenty
4 years. When he learned of his fellow
| prisoners anxiety he took all his
own earnings, twenty dollars, which
represented the hard toll of fou,
4 years, and sent them to the old moth
| er, though it meant depriving him
| self Of all the little extra comfort HI
might have purchased. There is +,
sequel to this story. Both men cam,
home to us. They became earnes
A Christians and have good position.
1 to-day where they have proved them
selves absolutely worthy Of our con
fdence. They are earning goot
wages and are trusted by their en-
ployers.

Don't Do That.

Some men spend all their time
loafng around waiting for a soft
job with big salary attachment to
strike them. Don't do that.
The honest bee spends the sum
mer working to make honey for man
to steal from him. But the bee knows
better. The miser boards his money
through priyation and distress for
some heir to squander. Don't do
that.
There are some people who want
so badly to appear Swell" that they
lock UP the front Of the house and
live in back room upstairs all sum
mer in order to have people believe
they were at the seashore. Don't do
that.
We know men SO constituted tnat
all the time they are not currying
their favorite horses they are scold-
ing their children. Don't do that.
He is not yet obsolete-we mean
the fresh young doctor who tries to
make people believe that he is busy
by whipping his horses on the dead
run through the village streets.
There are men in other lines of
business who try the same dodge,
but they deceive no one. Don't do
that.
We never seeia young man who
thinks it is smart to pretend that he
is "half-seas over without desiring,
to walk up to him and say, Don't,
do that"
The biggest boor On earth is the
old man who tries to act like boy
when there are a lot Of young women
