Keeps the Books You Need Within Reach

;. The man who would like to know something
about astronomy must lay out little scheme of
study for himself, get the books which are neces-
sary, and have them at hand the moment he is
at leisure. The man who wishes to familiarize
himself with political economy, with politics. or
with industrial questions, which are now of such
Importance must find out what textbooks he
ought to have, secure those textbooks and keep
them by his side The man who wishes to know
literature does not need to lay out an elaborate
plan which fills him with dscouragement by its
very magnitude but he does need to decide what
author he is going to read next, and he does need
to get the book and keep it within easy reach.
Almost all the great classics are now published
in such portable forms that a man can carry
play of Shakespeare, the essays of Bacon, the
poems of Tennyson of Browning, a translation
of "Faust," Matthew Arnold's criticisms Emer-
sons essays, John Burroughs charming trans
scriptions of nature in his coat pocket, and sub
stitute them for the newspaper which is thrust

THE HOME CIRCLE
Beautiful Love-

1t is something sweet, when the world goes i'll,
To know you are faithful and love me still;
To feel, when the sunshine has left the skies,
That the light is shining in your dear eyes
Beautiful eyes more dear to me
Than all the wealth of the world could be.
1t is something, dearest, to feel you near
When life, with it's sorrows, seems hard to bear
To feel when / falter, the clasp divine
Of your tender and trusting hand in mine q
Beautiful hand more dear to me
Than the tenderest things of earth could be.
Sometimes, dearest, the world goes wrong,
For God gives grief with his gift of song,
And poverty, too! But your love is more
To me than riches and golden store
Beautiful lovei until death shall part
1t is mine-as you are-my own sweetheart!

wounded pride still flashed in his eyes and red
dened his cheeks. He was not used to being
Inundated and laughed at, certainly not by Eta:
When school was "turned out" he came as usual
to her desk and picked up her book-satchel; but
he was silent and sullen Not until they had
turned off by themselves into the old chestnut
shaded lone did either speak. Then Eta asked
with an unsuccessful attempt to make 1t sound IN
nocent: "How did you like my speechE
Henry struggled hard for sef-control, but he
could not keep the anger out of his voice.
"I wouldn't have thought that of you, Eta;
and I don't think you had any right to do It,
"Why hadn't I? You speak my piece next
time and I won't get mad"
"You know couldn't do it; and wouldn't if
I could. [ wouldn't treat you that way"
"Why, I don't see that it's anything to take
on about. I'd hate to be so [ couldn't laugh at
little thing like that"
Lacking words for an answer. Henry growled
to himself. Eta went on: "You do say that
piece so funny, Henry. I thought you'd like to
see how you looked"
The cloud on his face darkened II know /
can't speak like you can, but don't that that
gives you any right to make fun of me before the

"I wasn't making fun of you, Henry"
"The thunder you wasn'tp' he retorted. "Whet

"I don't call it anything. Nobody else would
have cared for such a thing. I can't see the use
of being so silly"

"I wouldn't have sulked and quarreled and
sworn about it, I'm sure"
"I didn't swear"

Henry switched into another track. "1 would
MT have cared so much if anybody else had done
it."
This getting little too personal to suit
Eta. and she answered sharply: eyes, you would.
You're $3.50 cranky and stuck-up you can't bear
being laughed at little bit; but just get mad
and pout and swear and go on. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself"
"I don't see that I've said much" began the
luckless Henry; but she cut him off.
"Not said much What do you call saying
much? You've said enough"

quarreling."
"Oh yes guess have. Reckon I've done the
swearing, too. Give me my books, Henry Smith
I shan't talk to you any till you've calmed
down little"
Eta had by this time really worked herself in
to temper.
"I think you're the one to calm down." growled
Henry, handing the satchel and walking
fercely away. Of course he vowed to himself
fercely away.
Of course he vowed to himself with great
bitterness that he would make effort
toward reconciliation; but he did, and she

Cesar and His Wife.

There husbands who, among their male
companions, like to have it sunnosed that they
are just little tyrannical at home. One such
man, who had two three friends at his house
one evening, remarked, as they we're chatting
together comfortably at rather late hour:
eyes, [ do what I like at home My wife, she
has to bend to my will. I can tell you. In my
house I'm regular Julius Caesar"
His wife came into the room in time to hear
the last sentence. The tyrant of his household
looked little uneasy. but his wife neither frown-
ed. nor apparently paid any attention to the re-
mark. But after moment she remarked very
positively:
"Gentlemen, it is late, and Julius Caesar has
got to go to bed!"
Whereupon the husband arose, stammered bis
excuses and retired. leaving his guests to find
their way out best they could.
1t was in another household that the husband
once remarked to his wife: E'You know, my dear.
that L am the head of the housev
You may be the head as much as you like.
SAID the wife, "but Pm the neck"
Ihe neck Oh yes, you may be the neck if YOU
want to, my dear"
Very we'll. It's the neck that turns the head
Whichever way it pleases, isn't it?"

The teacher took up the Register" and went
to the back of the room while the pupils waited
in a little hush of expectancy. No one knew whom
he would call first 1t CHANGED to be Mary Ran
som, a slender. fair-haired slip of girl with
deep, unclouded blue eyes. Her rendering of
"The Children's Hour" was all that might have
been expected from one who knew by heart every
poem in her Reader and loved them all. not be-
cause she understood them, but because they
made her think and dream and wonder.
:" Bob Harris next, and he shambled up the
aisle, faced about with a jerky bow, and gravely
announced:
"I had little pony,
His Jack;
/ put him in the stable
And he jumped out a crack"
Then he hurried back to his seat grinning an
accompaniment to the sniggers of the other small
boys who disliked sneaking. The teacher sud-
denly looked up at him with threatening face, and
Bob subsidized into his seat with a face from
which merriment had fled.
"Henry Smith," said the teacher; and tall
brown-faced fellow of eighteen arose and stalked
forward. Henry the orator of the school and
felt the full seriousness of the occasion. He

King smiling at him from the of the school
ROOM but also out beyond the old brown walls
somewhere in the future dim vision of crowded
halls and young orator whose words thrilled the
hearts of men.
So, raising his hand, he began in stentoran
tones, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me
your ears" and went with increasing fervor
to the shriekng climax in which he moved "the
STONES of Rome to rise and mutinyp' Then he
bowed himself off the narrow platform and walked
to his seat with the air of a who has done
his whole duty.
Two or three of the smaller students came next
followed by the smiling Eta. This young lady
had talent for mimicry and could be very funny
sometimes; but she usually recited tragic and
pathetic things, putting into them many a little
shaky sob and fearful quaver. Henry would set
his face hard to keep his lips from trembling
while she poured out her heart in the passionate
peadings of the old mother to her wayward son
or pictured the heart-breaking agonies of that
wayward son when he came back after many
years to the deserted and desolate home he had
left so lightly.
This time, however, she stepped upon the plat
form with a dignifed air. raised her hand in an
exaggerated gesture, and in the loudest and harsh
est voice she could command cried out: "Friends
Romans, countrymen." The teacher looked up in
surprise, the pupils stared at her with bulging
eyes, and Henry shut his jaws with a snap. On
she went with gestures and tones which were
ludcrous caricatures of those of her admirer
Her solemn exaggeraton of Henry's scathing irony
in "Brutus is an honorable man." made every
one else roar; and Henry himself had to laugh at

A Word About Butter.

Every maker OF butter says the
Ranch, who undertakes to bui d up a
demand for his butter by individual
families has to decide the question Of
the best butter package for his purpose.
That the package should be neat and
attractive goes without saying. Con

dairymen pack in jars and crooks, get
ting the empty ones on delivering fresh
ones. This does Very well. but there Is
always more or less difficulty about
getting the empty jars and some are
broken every week or so. The incest
method we have seen of putting up
butter to be sent direct To the consumer
is in the form Of pound bricks, wrapped
ia parchment Taper In this form the
butter looks clean, neat and attractive,
and is easily sliced off for the table.
Parchment paper can be pu chased

and some neat devise which will create
a favorable impression and adSertise
his business.

coYMIssION LEGISLATION.

The bill which the joint COM
mittee of the senate and house
have practically agreed to re-
port, a draft of which was given
for publication last Tuesday, is
not altogether bad, and if it
could be enacted into law as it is
agreed upon TO report the meas
ure by the committee the advo-
Gates of a regulatiye railroad
commiss on would not have much
cause for complaint.
That it will be subjected to
amendment and alteration by
those who oppose the enactment
of regulative commission when
the bill comes up for passage in
both houses IS of course well
understood. 1t can not be COM
planned by the railroads that the
bill in its present form is drawn
along drastic lines, indeed, the
radical element will regard it as
altogether too mild.
The Echo favors a measure of
this kind drawn. One that
would be just to the great rail
road interests but that would
also give those individuals and
communities that have just
cause for complaint on the
ground of eXiortion and discrim-
ination prompt and speedy
remedy The Echo also believes
the commission should be clothed
with the power to correct and adj
just apparent evils without hav-
ing to wait for specific complaints
in every instance before they
could act The commission
should also have the power to
enforce its DEGREES and findings.
This was one of the fatal weak
spots in the interstate commits
sion and made it practically use
less.
This is by all odds the most i'm

A PLAGUE SPOT.

The editor of the Echo is in
formed from q trustworthy
source that the home of the
Cahil family in the Chum-
stick valley, seven miles from
Leavenworth, is a menace to
that community. Early last fal
there were eight or nine cases of
diphtheria and one death in the
family. After all the members
of the family recovered the
premises were as thoroughly
fumigated as it was possible uu-
der the circumstances, but the
house being built of logs and be
ing Inhabited by the families of
both Jack and Marion Cabil, and
being crowded it was impossible
to destroy all the germs of the
disease as is proven by the fact
that there have been since the
recovery of the Cahil family two
cases of diphtheria that are di-
rectly traceable to having lived
in and been about the house.
Twice this winter as 4 result
of these outbreaks the school
which is near by has been
closed.
This is a matter. that should re-
ceiye the attention of the com
missioners court. As a measure
of precautiOn having the health
and welfare of the community in
view. the house and all its con
tents ought to be destroyed.
otherwise it will be a constant
source of danger. The disease
is liable to break out any time
and spread all over the com
munity. That the germs of the
disease are present is too well
known TO admit of doubt, and
may cause an outbreak any time.

What the result of the meeting
which was 10 be held in Seattle
yesterday TO decide who should
be the republican nominee for
senator from the thirteenth sen
atorial district. TO succeed the
late Senator Sharp, we have not
learned up to going to press.
The Echo would rejoice to see
some man from Chelan county
secure the nomination. This is
not likely to come to US, as Kit
titas is much the most populous
county and can and always will
control the nomination. This is
one of the unfortunate results of
being hitched to a much larger
county. There is no hope of
Chelan county ever getting a
representative in the upper
branch of the legislature so long
as this condition exists. Per
haps some day the state will be
redistricted and Chelan count Y
may have something to say Ia
the matter. As il is she is al
lowed TO vote for who ever Kit
iitas sees fit to nominate.
