The Sound papers are filled with state
politics. The withdrawal of DR.. j. j.
Smith from the gubarnatorial race last
week seems to have precipitated Il cri-
sis. 1t was done in the interest of
Samuel II. Piles of Seattle for l.. s.
senator. 1t gave him control, it j,
said, of the King county delegation of
ll5 votes in the state convention, which
he proposed to swap on the governorship
and every other proposition that would
secure him support i'll the next legisla-
ture. This state of affairs stirred up
the politicians at Tacoma. At least it
stirred up George Stevenson. the chief
is claimed, with the politicians of the
Great Northern railroad at Seattle, quit
his Job or was fired and then had a
conference with Governor Mcbride at
Tacoma. As a result it has been given
out that the Northern Pacific and o. Il.
x n interests have made "A combination
TO support Mcbride. The governor de-
MES that there is a combination between
himself and the railroads, but does not
deny that he had a conference with
Stevenson, who he has frequently pub
licly denounced as boodler and the
chief corrupter of the railroad crowd.
Stevenson is saying nothing. Mr.. Gross
cup of the Northern Pacific at Tacoma
is said to be in on the deal against King
county, but when interviewed ON the
subject naively rephed that the North
crn Pacific was not in politics; that 1T
did not care who was governor or Unit
ed States senator. And everybody who
has read the statement smiled. j. ID.
Farrell, the big push of the Great North
ern at Seattle, said there were no diff
ferences between that company and the
Northern Pacific and o. II. & N. But 1t
is an open secret that Grosscup and
Farrell and the satellites of each are
,ealous of each other in political mat
ters. Stevenson has been the political
representative in the past of all three
If the companies, with almost unlimited
power, it seemed, but it is now given
out that he is not with the railroads,
and is going to support Mcbride. DIR.
Smiths withdrawal from the guberna-
torial race is said to have been the
cause of Stevenson's change of base.
He was championing Smiths candidacy.
The publication of the story seems to
have disturbed King county, at least.
The friends of Mcbride there are urging
Piles to support him for the governor
ship; the railroad crowd at Seattle is
saying nothing, but it is probably as
bitter against Mcbride as ever. To
complicate matters, Jacob Furth of Sc
attic has publicly declared that he is
for John L. Wilson for senator and
Harold Preston says he is not in the
race. Mr.. Wilson was expected to arrive
in Seattle SATURDAY. after a two months
absence in Europe. There will probably
be things doing shortly after he gets
there. Such a row may be stirred up
that King county will not be solid for
Plies for senator or anyone else. At
any rate. Mcbride has scared up" thu

EFORE the American civil war
there lived in Virginia a young
girl with the old fashioned
- name of Eliza-Eliza w. Bow
man. Her father was a wealthy plant
er; she herself was the typical, refined
vivacious southern girl, with a differ
ence. One night when she was only
seven years old her mother missed the
child from her bed. 1t was 10 o'clock
and the mother was alarmed. A search
was instituted, and at length seven
year-old Eliza was discovered on the
public highway in the dark, hauling her
child's cart. loaded with delicacies to
eat, to a poor family of the neighbor-
hood There were in the tiny cart wine
preserves and goodies of various kinds
the choicest preparations of a generous
southern 1arder.
1t was found that the child was in
the habit of making these nocturnal
excursions. Night after night she had
pulled her cart load of eatables, now
here, now there, wherever any poor
people needed them, as she thought
She had no idea this was stealing not
the slightest. She did not wish to be
detected in her charity; she even had
an instructive shrinking from hurting
the pride of the recipients of her boun-
ty by letting it be known that they
were on charity. SO to speak. That,
too, prompted her to steal out at night
and take them good things.
AS she became older Eliza grew more
discriminating in her philanthropy, but
the keynote of her mature character
was thus struck at the age of seven
and it was-helpfulness to others. This
keynote of her nature made the music
of her life different from that of others
She was sent north to be educated at
a girls school. To the city in which
the school was came Lola Montez, the
famous and fascinating dancer and ac-
tress, on a tour through the United
States. Somehow, it is not quite clear
the girls of the school called on Lola
Montez, Eliza Bowman among them.
The impression the noted danSeuSe
made on the girls susceptible imagina-
ton was tremendous and never to be
effaced. The feeling Lola Montez
aroused in the girls was true hero wor-
ship. Miss Bowman speaks of the IA
nous Spanish dancer-Spanish so call
ed. though really Irish-as the most
beautiful and graceful creature she ever
beheld. Lola Montez had figure of
exquisite grace, with rare, dark eyes
and velvety skin. The charm, grace
and sweetness of her manner were in
describable and drew all hearts to her.
Among the rich memory treasures of
Eliza Bowman's long and overfiowing
fullness of life she holds this meeting
with Lola Montez in girlhood as one of
the most precious.
Back home to Virginia went Eliza

and we must learn to throw them off.
Even the mother with half a dozen chill
dren and a mountain of household du-
ties married of her own free will, or, IL
she did not, then she deserves all she
gets for not using her will; but, having
unwittingly got into bad box, the one
thing to do is to face cheerfully and
pluckily the work that comes under her
nose to be done. Experience will al
ways show her after awhile how to
make her tasks less laborious. The
mental attitude is everything. If we
think of our tasks as drudgery, then
are they drudgery of the most slavish
sort. If we train ourselves to regard
them as our just and fair contribution
to the worlds work we can make glo-
ry out of them. If, vibrating through
and through with courage and will pow
er, we take hold of them and carry
them through to the end we may be
very sure that thus we shall gain the
mastery over many things. There is
within US all a calm, hidden power
which grows stronger and stronger the
more we draw on it.

The dipping may be made daily on

by using it largely diluted or, if pure,
by using it very seldom and by the
daily employment of good nutrients. In.

THE POPULAR FALLACY
CONCERNING OVERW0RK.

IN l.
statement that Americans are
working themselves into untime-
ly graves. l must say this does not
seem to be the case among Americans
am acquainted with. l know some who
seem to be spluttering and fussing them
selves into nervous prostration, but as
to real work, good, solid, cold chunks
of work-no; it does not seem to be
there.
I have lately read, too, something OF
this sort especially referring to Ameri-
can mothers. plying them, almost tear
fully bidding them take an hours nap
every day if they don't want to leave
their little ones to be brought up by
cruel stepnother, with more bosh to
the same effect. 1t is bosh, the kind of
bosh that sends women to sanitariums
and now and then actually into the
grave.
Whether one is overworked depends
greatly on the viewpoint. Suppose
large number of household duties are
piled up before a woman and she has,
besides, several children. Let her begin
the day by putting herself under strict
self control. If she has to get up when
she does not feel like it and there is no
help for it, then let her just get up and
do what has to be done cheerfully and
with determination. If she lies awake
awhile and rises with a martyr-like
face and air and attacks her tasks with
a martyr-lil1e mind, of course she will
collapse and perhaps tumble over and
raise a fuss in the house before the day
is over. IL we have more tasks than
we like, if at the same time there seems
no way to be rid of them, then the wise
woman will tackle them bravely, not
letting herself think of the hardship of
them at all, but holding her mind fast
to the achievement of them in the best
possible manner.
An ordinarily sound human being
needs no rest beyond plenty of sleep
and comfortable interval for eating
meals. Work while it's day." Life is
full of useful, noble tasks for every hui
man being. In the cheerful, perfect
performing of our everyday tasks we
gain from experience a wisdom and
knowledge that are, after all, the real
meaning of labor. 1t is not the work
itself SO much as what we gain as in
tellectual and spiritual beings in the
doing of the work that counts. To gain
power and development is the true OBJ
ject of life, and there is no way to reach
it except through work, steady and use
full work. Meanwhile let us have all
the fun we can as we go along too.
1t is very doubtful whether anybody
who gave enough hours to sleep and
took meals in reasonable time ever
broke down from oyerwcrk. 1t is the
letting ourselves become fretted and
worried over work that breaks us down.
Perhaps a majority of the women who
think they are overworked regard their
daily duties as troubles. The moment
We look on our duties as troubles life
will become very hard. Work grudg-
ingly done makes anybody i'll in course
of time.
In no field of human action are the
will and mind so potent as in this one
of work. Our tasks are almost without
exception of our own choosing and
making. Our troubles certainly are.

The clever woman is she who can buy
bargains in underwear and outer wear
and SO change them with her skillful
fingers that they look like expensive
articles. OF course in doing anything
of this sort one must look out that the
quality of the material is good, or else
all the trimming in the world goes for
naught. a friend of mine this summer
bought a perfectly plain white lawn
dress for $3.50 and by putting in an en-
broidered pattern of French knots in
heavy linen transformed it into a thing
of beauty The same clever little wo-
man buys plain underwear and inserts
and trims it in a manner wonderful to
behold. These little economies count,
and they pay, let me assure you, in the
long end, for SO cents saved here and
dollar saved there mean "a great dea.

and some sort of position in the worlo
