OFF TO THE
CONVENTION
Mrs. J. B. West Will Represent
Second Idaho District in
Republican National

Mrs. j. 3. West left this morning
to attend the national republican con-
vention which meets in Chicago on the
a1st inst. She will go to Spokane to-
day where she will meet Miss Scott,
y.any her to Chicago.
Mrs. West goes as a delegate from
the Second Idaho district as an alter
nate having been elected at the Poca-
.ello convention but as the regular del
egate c. j. Hall of Idaho county will
not be in attendance Mrs. West viii
have voice in all the proceedings the
same as II she were a regular delegate.
The innovation of sending woman to
national convention is a rare occur
renee and Mrs. West is to be congratu-
lated for the honor thus accorded her
by the republicans of Idaho and there
is no doubt but that she will creditably
acquit herself to her own honor as wei,
as that of the state.
1t is not unlikely that Mrs. West will
receive the attention Of the press of
Chicago in view of the fact that she
will probably be the only woman dele
gate in the convention. An innovation
OF this character is generally subject
Ut much comment by the press and II
would be no slight honor where she
given the privilege for the state OF
idaho in seconding the nomination OF
Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency
After the convention Mrs. West will
accompany Miss Scott to ST. Louis
where they will attend the convention
Of the National Teachers association OF
which both are members.

Long Hair kicked his victim heavily,

led him back again to the starting

The young man. who had borne all

ously and struck straight from the
shoulder, setting the whole weight Of

There had been no dangerous concus-

Beverley. sore, haggard, forlornly
disheveled. had his arms bound again
and was made to march apace with his
nimble enemies, who set out swiftly

ter enough, not i'm the least indicated
by any facial oppression or spiteful act.

II not, that Beverley's mind now busted

its direct course unhindered to the end.
Suffice il to record that while tramping
at Long Hairs side and growing more
and more desirous of seeing the picture
again Beverley began trying to con-
verse with his taciturn captor. He had
considerable smattering of several
Indian dialects, which he turned upon

but apparently without effect. Never

Interview and now Farnsworth felt Its

Father Berets paternal love for Al
ice-we cannot characterize It more
nicely than to call It paternal-was his
justification for a certain mild sort of
corruption insinuated by him into the
heart OF Farnswerth. He was crafty
priest, but his craft was always used
for good end. UnQuestionably Jesuiti'
was his mode of circumventlng the
young mans military scruples by Of
fering him pun Of fair weather with
which to sail toward what appeared to
be the shore Of delight. He saw at a
glance that Farnsworth's love for Alice
was consuming passion in a very
ardent yet decidedly weak heart. Here
was the worldly lever with which Fa-
ther Beret hoped to raze Alicc's prison
and free her from the terrible doom
with which she was threatened
The first interview was at Father
Berets cabin, to which, as win be re-

ing, "Well, Jarvis, what says the world
of me? I'll tell thee what 1t says. 1t

The Borrowed Days.

According to a Scottish f1reside
rhyme, alluded to by Sir Thomas
Brown In his Vulgar Errors" three
days were borrowed by March from
April, with a view to the destruction
of some sheep, but the popular fiction
of the borrowed days is really of older
date.
In the "Complaynt Of Scotland, =
printed in 1913, we find: There eftir
entrit in ane creme forest, to con-
tempill the tender yong frutes, becaus
the borial blasts of the three boroufng
dais Of Marche he'd chaissit fragrant
dureise Of evyne frut-tree far athourt
the fields"
The origin and meaning Of the ex-
preston are obscure. It may probably
be founded upon that relapse into win
try weather which is often noticed at
the close Of March and which seems
to snatch few Guys from the promise
of opening spring. A similar fancy
has p1Hvailed in the highlands Of Scot
land in connection with the first two
months Of the year.-London Answers.

The Word HCad ~

Cad" it is pointed out by a writer,
is a word furnishing "a pathetic in
stance Of verbal degeneration" He
says: "Its grandfather cadet and its
father 'caddie' are still alive in the
language, though the relationship is
recognized by few. Cadet signifying
by derivation from the Latin little
head or little chief was a sufficiently
honorable word for the younger son of
a noble family, and acquired its mod
ern army sense from the fact that the
army was often the destiny of younger
sons. But it also begat 'cadie' or cad
de- junior or subordinate in general,
such as a bricklayer's assistant or the
familiar golf caddie. Then tcaddie' or
cad came to mean an odd job man,
and from calling the men who hung
about to pick up jobs by this name,
Oxford undergraduates presently ap-
piled it to town in general, as con-
rasted with gown AS no compliment
was thereby intended, its final deg
radiation is obvious"

LyndonviIle Campmeeting.

AS in some other years the meeting
this year will be, in a sense, union
effort-the churches of the district yoking
with the w. G. T. q. workers Of the
county and the state.
The regular annual campme citing is to
open August rs. at $50 p. M, and con-
tinue eight days. On September 2 the
w. c. T. U. will take up the work and
put in a program lasting until Monday
morning, September 8. Plans are made
for every part of the work and strong
speakers from Vermont and outside will
appear daily. Children's meetings will
be held daily at 1 p. M, under efficient
and interesting leaders. A full program
of services will soon be furnished the
public. Music will be in charge of a
strong committee and new book,
Pentecostal Hymns, No. 8, will be used
Mrs. Ida Fl. Reed will preside at the
temperance services. All who have
known her leadership in the past will be
anxious to attend the meetings this year.
She has speakers of more than national
reput alton. such as Mrs. Mary Weaver
of Batavia. N. Y, and Miss Alice Moore
of Lockport, Me-, and she is specially
glad to introduce Rev. o. J. Anderso on,
who will speak of the dispensary system
as he has known it in Sweden. No one
choosing Lyndonville as camping
place for the last OF August will fail of a
profitable outing.

having been thoroughly educated in
church music and the training of voices
in his home in England. He has rapidly
grown into place among the most sue
cessful choir directors in the Capital, and
has made hosts of friends in a compare

he was married little more than a year

all the passengers until there came
aboard at Madeira a lady with an in

of attention and the ape in conse-

Sir Harry Johnston followed it on deck
one day just in time to prevent trag-

had made for it, pulled it from the
cradle and was in the act Of throwing

Maxwell Sommerville Of the Uniyer-
sity Of Pennsylvania spent nearly for
ty years of his life in oriental travel
and study.
Professor Sommerville used some
times to narrate the strange error that
was once made by a French explorer
he had known. This explorer had made
a journey to Kairwan and had drawn a
map Of the cou.-try he passed through.
The singular thing about this map was
that the name "Maarifsh" appeared SO
many times on it. A river would be
the Maarifsh river; mountain would
be Mount Maarifsh; village, a lake,
a valley, each would be called Maar-
fish
When Professor Sommerville saw
this map he laughed.
Don't you know" he said to the
traveller, what 'maarifsh' means in
ArabicT'
NO" said the other. "What does it
mean?"
