The Wilderness of Love.


She's in the wilderness of Love,
Where light forever shines:
She's showered with the blossom S.
Hid in honeysuckle vines;
And her music is a thrush's song,
Dim-shadowed in the pines.
She's in the wilderness of Love
And let her there remain,
With only the white lilly-cups
OF honey bees to drain,
And the wild breath of the roses
When they're weighted down by
rain.
She's in the wilderness of Love;
Whatever may befall,
Let us place before her cities
With their cold and iron wall,
For Love is where the thrushes sing,
And Love is all in ali!

The Teath Dime.

Have your shoes sbined," sang
out boy near the Union Sta
ton, among a group of people
just from the train. A young
man who heard the cry stayed
his steps, hesitatiug; for be had
not much more money in his
pocket than he had blackiug ON
his shoes, but to hesitate was
to fall into the bootblack's
hands and the brushes were
soon wrestling with splashes of
rural clay.
When the shine was :omplet-
ed the young man banded the
boy dime and felt that he had
marked his way into the great
city with an act of charity; for.
at heart he did not care how his
boots looked. But as he was
pulling himself together for a
new start, he saw the boy who
had cleaned his shoes approach
the blind beggar who sits be-
hind the railroad fence and drop
a dime into his cup.
What did you do that for?"
asked the young man.
Yer see, that was me tenth
dime terday. an me teacher at
Sunday School told me 1 ought
er give a tenth of all l make to
the Lord. See? An 1 guess
that OIL blind man wants a dime
more than the Lord. so 1 give it
to him. See?-Unknowu.

with the terms of the homestead
law. No excuse will be accepted
because of lack of water, as it is not
desired to have people enter the
land until water is ready for their
use; and the facts that lands are en-
tered upon before water rs ready is
presumptive that the person making
the entry does 1t for speculative
purposes, rather than for an actual
home.
@. How much land can enter
at first?
A. Under usual conditions there
is no law to prevent your entering
100 acres at first; but this entry is
merely preliminary, and will be cut
down to forty, eighty or 40 acres,
according the plans finally deter
mined upon. 1t will also be sub
ject TO certain limitations, charges
and terms, which cannot be given
until the contracts for construction
have been let.
@. What assurance is there that
the land will be irrigated until such
time as public notice has been given.
If you enter in advance of the pub
lie notice you make speculative
entry, wholly at your own fisk, and
without any guarantee or safeguard
that water will be supplied, and
with reasonall, probability that
you may lose your homestead right.

Woman as a MiSmanager
BY a Mere Man

A character in adam Bede" tells that
incompatible housekeeper, Mrs. Poyser,
that he believes most functions of life
could be much better managed by men
than by women.
He only ventured to hint what every
man knows to be the truth. Wherever
woman comes into direct competition with
man her pitiable inferiority in management
quickly becomes manifest.
See her in all the lines of business that
she has entered earning on an average
scarcely more than half the wages OF man
and a large part OF that due to mans gen
erous recognition OF the fact that she must
have a living whether she earns it or not
She perpethates the delusion that she is
at least the master manager of the home,
solely by virtue Of the fact that in that
line she has always had a monopoly. No
competition has entered in to set higher
standards than hers.
The husband who dares to interfere or
even to offer suggestions is told that if he
attempts to disarrange the domestic rou-
tine the hired girl will leave, or she her
self will or some other dreadful calamity
will result
In his business down town he freely ex-
changes advice with his business partner
and wisdom results. But in his domestic
business his partner thinks she knows it
all, viii not tolerate interference, runs the
house to suit herself and in the average
case runs it very badly.
Every man has two branches of business
his profession or employment, called his
office" and his "house" Practically all
that the average man makes at his Office
his wife spends at the house.
If he makes 81 900 year he gets bed,
board and clothes. If he makes So, 900 he
still gets bed. board and clothes. If he

1t is seldom necessary after fevers. It
may be hopelessly tangled, in which case
cutting would be advisable, but ordinarily
| would say not.
After fever the hair-papillae are not
destroyed. OF course the hair suffers from
the general debility of the system
If tonics are being taken, and proper
nourishment for the body, the hair, with
proper local treatment, will soon show
great improvement.
Before beginning the tonic treatment,
cleanse the hair by rubbing in the yolks
of eggs, then washing with warm water and
any pure soap, and rinsing with cooler
water. Dry by rubbing with warm Turk
sh towels and the hands
Use no strong shampoo, as the hair is
dry and brittle after a fever.

sembage numbered about 100.
Toasts were responded to by ex-senator
John L. Wilson, Adjutant General Drain
and others.
Although invitations had been sent to
all of the members of the society through
out the state, including a large number
in Tacoma, not one from the chapter in
the City of Destiny responded, which fact
caused numerous expressions of regret.

What becomes of his money? You
needn't ask. He doesn't know. He dare
not inquire. But he sees the suave butcher
and grocer fatten and he suspects they
have found an easy mark.
There should be nothing simpler in the
world than to manage house with a few
children on regular income. As regards
the cooking and servants, men manage
restaurants and clubs. As regards children,
men manage schools Where in the world
is the house, governed by woman, who
has nothing else in the wide world to do
which is as comfortably and as proftably
managed as these institutions are?
If the wife has $50 a week on which to
run the house, She provides enough to eat,
gets the washing done, keeps things in or
der and does just What other women do to
make the home comfortable. If through
adversely or other cause her allowance be
suddenly reduced to IS a week. she-bless
manages to provide just as much to
eat, gets the washing done Just the same
and keeps things in the same old order
And never until doomsday would it occur
to her even to wonder what in the world
she has been doing with that other $40 a
week.
Ask her and she will condescend to say
that she had bought things she needed. +"
Press her for detailed list, and she will
go into a rage or into blank imbeclity and

Not one woman in a thousand has the
slightest comprehension of such thing
as saving a surplus.
