Leaving the question of individuality aside, let us consider another most I'm. portant phase of the question-our time.
 Never before has the venerable Father been so valuRble-so we'll worth saving. the sands of his hour-glass are now of gold-and his increased worth Is visi- ble to Us in every department of life, social intellectual. material, and the in- dividual as well. We are all busy women with the twentieth century definition of the word our time is most precious and If we are not receiving full value for every hour it behooves us as thinking women. as wise women, to go where we can. So, l beg of you to know clearly your inclination and knowing lt--to take conscientious steps to further it-then only can you perform work with justice to yourself and your associates As we all know. there can be no development of the individual without a corr \ ,nding progression in the club-for it is me best of the many, 80 will our standards be raised, purified and grow fin strength and Vigor. For as the experience of all club lovers proves, tho essence of life itself in the club depends upon the vital inter- est and enthusiasm of it's members Clubs cannot progress as divided houses' or attain their full fruition with careless and inattentive members. Therefore as the goal for which we arc aiming is the uplifting of all that is good, all that is beautiful in humanity. let us further that end by cleansing ourselves as individuals and treating our inner selves with that unbendins honesty whcih I trust We ex- tend our fellows. Again I say. let us-- pause-and give force by practice to that pregnant truth. ITO thine own self be true. then thou canst be false to no man"

gradually leave these lesser blemishes behind her, as she has others, in the past
 And as it behooves us all to do our share in bringing woman to her own therefore entreat you let us each one take counsel with herself and find first. her desires and necessities. then. her manner of supplying them. That she is d member of a club-signifies the posses sion Of some desire or motive and when should first ascertain clearly and be able to answer, for what purpose? If for recreation, it Is weIl--if for development and mutual aid still better Then the question presents itself--are you receiv- ing that which you seek in your club life? If not, why not? Are the hours, which you spend with your club produc- tive of amusement or instruction, which ever you desire? If they are not, either you are out of harmony with your club. or it itself lacks vigor. In the first in- stance, change clubs. until you find one which supplies your needs-in the second, mend it. Could we but recognize the all-mportant truth to cleaVe only to that with which we are in coRsonance-- that name, fame or members can never compensate for a lack of vital Interest and enduring enthusiasm. Too many of us, alas! resemble that trlte example.

A PLEA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A

 It will never do, you say, to so retro grade. so fall behind this marvellous pro- gresgion of the day. of man and of wom- an? But bear with me, and let us draw the breath of reflection. make use of the virtue of self-examination and per chance our loss of time may be overbal- anced by the greater efficiency of our work, and the corresponding individual development.
 This Is pre-eminently the age of tran sition for woman-never before has the golden aoer of opportunity swung open so widely and beekoned so invitingly. Hence, bewildered by innumerable ave- nueS opening to fuller intellectual, social and material Mfe-she turns hither and thfther In her efforts to adjust herself, to lind boise. and make good her right to retain the place she has so hardly won.
 It is therefore not unnatural that. ham pered by previous inexperience. she sui fers from indecision. exaggeration and lndiscretion. The approach to perfection is not attained at a bound, hence we Watt and hope--knowinR that she will

In these days scientists tell us tha every created thing has life in som measure and fashion. from the dust o the earth upward. It is less startlmi therefore to be asked to believe tha seven of the gems known as preclou stones are endowed with the prOcreativ faculty. Yet this is no new theory.

WILLIAMS AND BRADY NAMED
Executive Commissioners for Alas
ka at the Fair.

ma at TIC
Washington, Aug. 24.-Secretary
Hitchcock has received a telegram
from Assistant Secretary Ryan, who is
in Yellowstone park. announcing that
he had appointed Louis l.. Williams,
of Juneau, and Governor Brady as COM
missioners for Alaska to the Louisiana
purchase exposition. Authority to
make these appointments was delegat-
ed to Mr. Ryan by Secretary Hitchcock.
The appointment of Mr.. Williams,
though believed to be popular with a
large number of people of both politi-
cal parties in Southeastern Alaska, is
bound to cause. heart burnings, because
Williams is Democrat. He is, in fact,
the member of the Democratic commit
tee for Alaska, and protest against
his candida was lodged with the inte-
rior department some time ago by ex-
Senator Carter, of Montana, who hap
pens to be the arch-enemy of Secretary
H Hitchcock.
Mr. Williams will receive a salary of
$500, travelling expenses and S. day
for subsistence. Governor Brady will
receive only travelling expenses and IS
a day for subsistence while employed
as commissioner.

ANOTHER TRAIN NEEDED.
Travel between Sound and Portland
Oyertaxes Present Service.

Portland, Or, Aug. 22.-Passenger
officials of the Northern Pacific say
that the traffic between Portland and
Puget sound has become SO heavy that
it will be necessary to put on another
passenger train. They predict that a
fourth train will he put into service by
the first of the year. The three trains
now in service between Portland and
the Sound are running as heavy as it
is possible to handle them, and the sit
uation cannot be relieved by attaching
more coaches. Thile the details have
not been worked out, it is probable
that fast train between Portland and
Seattle will be put on, cutting two and
possibly three hours from the present
schedule.
