A wife has written US "that she has
passed into the shadows because her
associates dress charmingly and sht
must be clad plainly, sometimes bor-
dering onto shabby" While it is hard
to be conscious that you are not q.
we'll dressed as another, yet after al
the world pays little attention to what
you wear. If your dress j. only five
cent calico, the soul that it enshrines
may be made hne by high thinking
and plain living, the heart frightened
by good cheer, and you will wear Ave
cent calico like a queen. As a rule
We love the beautiful, and we long for
beauty OF person and attractive ap-
parel; while these may be denied you,
you can live the beautiful white life.
Too late? No indeedl Live in the
present; bury the past; each day d
new beginning. You can be better
woman, you can make the days
brighter for others, you can so edu-
cate the mind and heart that your
good qualities will recommend you to
your friends, who will love you for
what you are and not for what you
wear. Many mothers wardrobe con-
tains but one dress, that is worn upon
all occasions; but usually this repre-
sents some special self-denial; possibly
the rich clothing that makes her
wardrobe conspicuous by its absence,
pays daughters way to voice culture
or a sons to professional life and
sometimes the woman that you envy
because Of their charming appearance,
have no son or daughter, and thus
they too have reason to live in the
shadows.
The strength and glory Of a nation
rests for security upon the homes Of
its people. The strength and power
of the homes OF the people is measured
by the character OF the women who
preside in them. Hence, whatever
uplifts and strengthens woman makes
the nation more secure. You can
correctly measure the civilization OF
people by their estimate OF woman
and the position in society held by
her. This statement needs no en-
largement. Measured by this unerring
standard, not since the morning stars
sang together in celestial symphony
at the dawn Of creation has there been
time or country when or wherein
woman held higher or holier place
in the life OF great nation than at
this time in this great country OF ours.
This can be said to the i'm m ortal glory
of this land. Our women are the
moral and spiritual life VI this repub
lie. Their intellectual activities ar,
as boundless as their opp rtunities are
great. In the realm of literature, OF
art, OF phil"s' ply, in every depart.
ment OF intellectual life they are win
ming golden laurels. But it is in the
home where woman rules and reign,
an uncr"wned but royal queen, sup-,
mistress OF human de>tinle-; it is here
che Is the real saver of lie to this gr-sl
nation -Cle Elum E no.

A Missouri editor announced that
for just one issue he would tell the
truth. Here are q few items from
that issue:
"John BONN, the LATEST man
merchant in town made trip, to
Bellview yesterday. John Doyle, our
groceryman, is doing a poor business.
His store is dirty, dusty and notori-
ously oderiferous. How can he ex-
pect to do much? Rev. Styx preached
Sunday night to charity. The ser.
mon was punk. If the reverend gen.
tleman would live up little closer to
what he breaches he'd have bigger
congregations. Dave Sonkey died at
his home in this place last Saturday.

and whiskey is what killed him. His
home was u rented shack in Roudy
street. Married-Miss Sylvia Rhoden

evening, at the Baptist parsonage.
The bride is very ordinary town

gether and the NEWS has no congra-
tulations to offer. for we don't believe

The issue in which the editor told
the truth was the last he ever made.
Now, in the spri' 6 time, when the
dew diamonds sparkle in the tender

make a melody all the day, SUBJ

seclusion in a parochial school in Van
couver, Wash, is the change enforced
on a Portland girl, who gave her name
as Maude Delaney of Seattle.

with her good looks. She deceived
every one as to her identity, but trouble
appeared Wednesday, The girls aunt,
a prominent society woman, called up
the telephone and asked if a girl of her
niece's description was in the com
pany.
She made an appointment to see the
chorus girl at the rehearsal Promptly
on time Wednesday the woman, and a
man, the girls father, one of the most
prominent lawyers in the CITY, ap-

that she was satisfied with the stage
as a calling, and at first refused to
leave The manager, however, ended
her engagement and she was sent to
a Catholic Sisters school in Vancouver
The "Johnnies" at the park miss her

trocuted this evening at s o'clock at
his home, 1920 Thirteenth avenue,
while attempting to disconnect tele-
phone wire leading to the Horton
house that had become crossed with
an arc light circuit carrying 5000
volts
The bell of the telephone was ring
ing continuously. In order to stop
the noise Horton determined to cut
the wires outside the house. He dis
connected the wire at a fuse block
and when the circuit was broken HOr-
ton, who was standing on the damp
ground, received the entire force of
the high voltage of current through
his body The shock was instantly
fatal The only witness of the acci-
dent was Horizons nine-year-old son,
Charles. The boy. when he saw his
father fall to the ground, ran into the
house screaming for his mother. Mrs.
Horton came out to see what was
wrong and when she saw her hus-
band lying on the ground she realized
what was the matter, as her husband
had said he was going to cut the tele-
phone wires. d. w. La Fortune and d
man named Dixon heard the cries of
the son and they were the first to ar
rive on the scene.
Attempts were made to revive Hor-
ton, but as he showed no signs of life
DIR. w. j. Wilcox was called. When
he arrived the victim of the deadly
fluid was past medical aid. The Cor
Oner was notified.
Horton WAS % voarG of apa and
a native of Howard Lake, MINI. He
leaves a wife, one son and a brother,
Charles Horton. Before coming to
Oakland Horton resided for some time
in Haywards, where he owned cOnsid-
erable property. He was a member of
the Masonic lodge of Haywards, the
Odd Fellows and the Workmen.

SANTA BARBARA, July THE Pa

citation continued it's sessions. here to-
day, devoting most of its time to mat
ters of interest to the trade only. The
convention took an important action in
appointing a committee to draw up
resolutions favoring an increase of the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The association believes
that the commission should have the
power to compel the railroads to act
according to it's decisions, and that an
appeal should come from the railroads
and not from the commission. The
committee of the association appointed
is to cooperate with the Interstate
commerce law convention.
Some definite action probably will be
taken before the convention adjourns
providing for a vigorous campaign
against the passage of the proposed
new parcels post laws.
