Sunshine's Good Work.

1t is impossible to record all the good
deeds Sunshine accomplishes. for every
member and every branch of the Sun
shine society have ways of doing good,
and all these ways are happy ones.
Many are using their money to assist
ambitious young boys and girls to OBJ
tain an education. One generous
woman has sent boy thru college, from
which he has graduated to fine position.
She is now paying the way of another
young man in western college and is
materially assisting student in Column
bia college. One man in New Haven has
furnished four scholarships and band of
young people are sending little boy to
school, Nearly every branch has some
one to Whom it is giving exclusive care.
Mrs. -. M. Byers of Denver has founded
home for boys, giving $4,000 for that
purpose. The various branches are all
doing some special line of work Many
are supporting wards in hospitals One
southern branch is paying for years
care Of a little cripple in the hospital
Sunshiners of Bridgeport, Conn, have
built a Sunshine home at the cost of
$4,000. Several of the branches own wheel
chairs, which are loaned to inyalids for
rides in the fresh air.
In the far west Sunshine free libraries
are giving pleasant hours to many and
homes have been esta blished for sick and
convalescent women, who are far. from
their own homes seeking health
Everywhere the interest in Sunshine
work is growing, and the membersh r
promises to increase nearly $4,000 this
year. ..

A Sunshine Act.

Every day Sunshiners are realizing
more and more the fruits of the work,
and often what seemed the smallest act
has produced the greatest result. Julius
Chambers of New York, one of the origi-
nal Sunshiners, gives the following touch
ing experience:
Il once made a tour of the almshouses
of the state of New York, describing them
exactly as they were. Every emotion
that can be awakened by sorrow was felt
during that trip. The most pathetic in
cident occurred at the poorhouse of Essex
county, in the hills beyond Williamsburg,
near Lake Champaign. I should say that
the trip was made at the request of a
state commissioner of charities, who de-
sired that the truth should be told.
After inspecting the wards for the
aged women and insane, I walked across
an open court, deep with mud, to visit
the children's quarters. While there, a
small ed-faced, red-headed lad at
traeeteed my notice. patted him
on y the shoulder and asked his
name. He gave it promptly. told
me he was 10 years old and that
his father and mother were dead. felt

The Busy Life, the Happy One.

0"S%
It has been written, '"Tis not to live,
to live for self alone
Ever carry with you the earnest desire
to cheer and comfort those less fortunate
than yourself. Earnestly seek some one
who needs sunshine and endeavor to give
the necessary cheer, and your own bur-
den, be it ever SO heavy, will at once be-
come lighter, and your sorrow easier to
bear.
The true Sunshiner has no time for
gloom. The birds Of the air, the flowers
of the field, give forth cheer, the little
stars in the heavens twinkle forth their
bit of cheerfulness. Should we not learn
from them the lesson Of happiness?
Should we not be ashamed to go thru life
with froWn? We, who of all living crea-
lures have been blessed with the gifts of
smiles and laughter. *s ~
Take the sun from the heavens and the
sunshine from the land, how long would
there be life of any kind?
| Take sunshine from our hearts and
| cheerfulness from the countenance, and
| what a dreary world remains.
| Stagnant water becomes impure; an
| idle life becomes an unhappy one. We
find the pure water in the busy, sparkling
| little stream, and cheerful, happy hearts
in the busy, unselish life.
| Cultivate the don't worry habit Not
simply because you will be happier your
| self, but because it is one of the sure
ways of making those about you happy.
| Cheerfulness is contagious. Fill your
| own heart and life SO full of sunshine tina t
it must brighten the lives of those with
| whom you come in contact. Once you
have adopted the sunshine ways, you can
not throw them off. They soon become a
part of your real self. 'As a man think
| eth in his heart, SO is he.''-Edna Fuller

For a sunshiner's Album.

Life is an album, with leaves of many hue and
shade,
And all our thoughts, words and deeds are
plainly written there;
Today, perhaps, grand and beautiful entry will
be made,
Recorded on page exceeding white and fair.
Tomorrow comes and then perchance the record
- true,
Will be engrossed on page of darker hue.
When all thy work is done, and penned each line,
Radiant with sunlight may each record shine,
Nor one dark blot may nor angels see.

But I've got middlin' tight grip, sir,
On the handful O. things know.
I don't pan out on the prophets,
And free-will and that sort Of thing,
But believe in God and the angels
Ever sence one night last spring.
I come into town with some turnips
And my little Gabe come along
No 4-year-old in the county
Could beat him for pretty and strong,
Peart and clipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight
And I'd larnt him to chew terbacker,
Jest to keep his milk teeth white.

AS passed by Taggart's store;
went in for Jug Of moasses
And left the team at the door.

And hell-to-split the prairie

But we rousted up some torches,
And searched for 'em far and
At last we struck bosses and wagon,

No hide nor hair was found
And here all hope soured me,
Of my feow-critters' aid
I jest Topped down my marrow bones
Crotch deep in the snow, and prayed.
By this the torches played out,
And me and 1srul Parr ..-
Went off for some wood to sheepfold
That he said was somewhat thar.
We found it at last, and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs at night
We looked in, and seen them huddled thar
So and sleepy and white
And thar sat Little Brooches and chirped,

The Boise council last week
passed an ordinance requiring sa-
looms to close at midnight and on
Sundays. The ordinance went into
effect at midnight last Saturday
night, and every saloon in the city
promptly complied with the new
law, and last Sunday was the first
s.dry' day experienced by the peo-
pie of the capital city. A remark
able feature about 1t, was that the
back doors were closed as we'll as
the front ones. The Statesman says
the proprietors and bar tenders
greatly enjoyed the innovation, but
the blow fell heavily upon the
chronic saloon loungers and those
who have been IN the habit of taking
an "eye opener each morning be-
fore breakfast.

The municipal election in Boise
Tuesday resulted in a sweeping vic
tory for the republican ticket, J. A.
Pinney, the republican nominee for
mayor, receiving plurality of 900,
and every. other candidate, with the
exception of two councilmen, was
elected by pluralltles of over 100.
The victory was all The more glorious
for the reason that the Statesman
made bitter fight against Mr.. Pin
ney and gave the balance of the
ticket only luke warm support. Ar.
rayed in behalf of Sam Hays, the
democratic nominhe, were nearly all
OF the ministers of the city, who
gave Joseph f. several pointers on

Ex-Governor Hunt and Fred I. Du-

purlsts implored the people oftBoise
to support the democratic nominees,
who represented all that was pure
and holy, ard the election of these
men meant that vice Of every nature
would be banished from the city,
and that Boise would henceforth be
known not only as 1.-THE beautiful
but also as "the holy city" The
people, however. did not take any
stock in the preachings of these
churchmen and moralists, but voted
for the republican candidates whose
only pledges were that they would
give the city good, upright and
business-llke administration.

Of course the proprietors of the
drug stores in Boise are heartily
supporting the new ordinance which
provides for the Sunday closing of
saloons. 1t will mean that their
soda fountains will be patronized
much more literally on those days.
Then, too, many who use liquor IN
their homes strictly for "medicinal
purposes" will forget to buy it at
the saloons on Saturday evenings,
and will therefore be forced to
patronlze the drug stores on Sunday
