THE FIRST STEPS.
when the Baby Begin to stand and
AtteInpts to Wink.

Children usually begin to stand on
their feet about the tenth month and
with assistance take II step or two. By
the twelfth month they learn to take Il
few steps alone, and two months later
run about. This, however, depends u
which In turn is gagged by the nutri-
ton. Children nourished by patent
foods are usually far behind the
healthy breast fed infant. 1t is the
muscular, not the fat, children, who are
the most forward In this respect. Dc
not urge the child to stand on his feet
nor encourage walking too soon. LIE
the child follow his own impulse. The
majority of children are ambitious in
this respect, and just as Don as they
EEL the muscles and bones strong
enough to bear their weight they will
surely make the effort. If urged while
the bones are soft, bow legs are the re-
suit.
Children who are slow to walk are
generally late In teething too. Ordlna-
rily the healthy breast fed infant will
commence to cut his teeth ut six
months and In some cases II trlfe ear
lier. Children brought up on patent
foods are often as late as the twelfth
or fourteenth month. The reason for
this difference is that some of these
foods do not nourish the bone matter,
or, in other words, do not contain the
bone making elements to such u degree
as the mothers milk. = Mariana

Inauguration
Week
BY TROY ALLISON

pennsylvania avenue was gay with
flying flags and bunting. The crowd
on the ~pavements, kept from over
flowing tile curbstone by the force of
mounted police, was 1ad'ger than he
city had seen for years.
On the corner of Twelfth and the
avenue the people who had been I'M
able to decide whether they preferred
seeing the man of the hour start from
the White House or arrive ut the CAPT
tol had finally formed II congested mob
that concluded to let we'll enough alone
and save the wear and tear of further
progress.
A group of cowboys in their best
western tinery joked II crowd of girls
that had turned out to see the process
sion. Two Indians, decorated with
every specimen of button, badge and
feather, stood with stolid patience just
where the crowd was thickest.
A man in Il light oyercoat lowered
head and shoulders above the rest. A
newsboy reached up with "a v~ariegated
cane Inc tilted his derby rakishly to
one side. "Wisht | was up In the
clouds with you, mister" he grinned.
Il could review this procession to bet
ter advantage"
Il might as well be stone blind"
came Il plaintive voice whose owners
diminutive stature was wedged in be-
tween the Indians and the man with
the light coat, "and | reckon I'd be
rather more comfortable If | were
stone dead at the same time"
Sedley looked down from his height
of six feet three with a smile at the
humor of the situation. ITS too bad"
he said ,pityingly. Push back this way
a llttle-I can elbow the crowd at the
side a bit-might be dangerous to push
forward into those Indians-don't
think l ever saw any more decorated
specimens-they may have tomahawks
in every pocket for all Of you"
The girl laughed and moved toward
him. II don't mind Them" She show
ed a row of white teeth and black
eyes sparkling with excitement. I'm
so dark and small and black haired
that that newsboy with the cane asked
me If l was the squaw that belonged

Sedley had already recognized her
voice as belonging to a daughter of the
far south, and when she turned her
face toward him her Creole ancestry
was a certainty.

she said, with frank friendliness, land

gasp as the crowd made a sudden i'm
pulse forward.

to keep the crowd ON J~ostllng her.

gested, with Il touch of good natured
shyness.
"Oh, would your" she exclaimed,
with the volume of gratitude of II

Il weigh a hundred and one. Do you
think you could hold me till he pass

"Just try me-" he said, smiling as he
lifted her until she beamed happily
over the two creased heads in front of
them.
The president in acknowledging the
cheers that burst forth gave u purely
personal smile of amusement and good
will to n girl whose sparkling face rose
clear above the mass and who In her
excitement snatched IL derby hat and
waved it enthusiastically.
Did you see him smile at me?' h
asked breathlessly, when her feet
touched the pavement.
81 don't see how he could help IT.
Sedley took her arm and drew her to
one si!Ie, as the people hurried on to
ward the capitol. "If you will give
me some information on the subject,
l will see If l can help you find that
lost hotel"
You are just as good as can be-"
she said gratefully. ITS the Willard,

When they reached the hotel, he
took his leave reluctantly. Il wonder
II 1t would be rude to say l would

Il don't think 1t would-very.'
There was amusement in her eyes.
Papa would probably like to thank
you for finding this lost hotel"
When she told him her name and
her native state, Sedley's face bright
ened visibly. DO you happen to know
the congressman from the Second dis
trict?" he asked eagerly.
"Know him? lie read law in papa's
office" she said.
The congressman from that Second
district was interrupted at his dinner
that night by a young giant who
threatened to break every bone in his
body II he did not take him around to
be introduced to Judge Gaillaird and
his daughter.
The congressman helped himself to
the macaroni and smiled broadly.
"All right, Sedley, my boy; I'll ar

A LESSON IN POLITICS

For the first time in the history of
Occur d'Alene an attempt was made
to inject politics into the school cleo
tion, Monday, whether to the credit
or discredit of the praty that did it,
we leave to the judgment Of the pub
lie; but from the result it looks as
though the people have placed the
seal of condemnation upon the effort
in no uncertain manner. School cleo
tions are usually not matters of such
public interest as they should be,
and our sooialistic politicians saw
in this nice opportunity to quietly
put up a ticket, and, under cover OF
neglect of the people to attend the
election, make a successful run for
their candidates. 1t was a c1nningly
conceived and i'll advised political
trick, in direct contradiction of the
avowed pure and uudefiled motives
which the socialists claim to advo-
cate, and would have been heralded
over the whole country as a great so.
cialist victory had the game proven
successful. Fortunately the people
became aware Of the job that was be.
ing put up by our socialistic friend
and the result Of the election was 50
votes for the socialist ticket and 2Cl
for the ticket run by the people. and
II could have been made thousand
If necessary. The socialist leaders
are pretty hard up when they attempt
to make political capital out Of a
school election; but it is said that
they are doing this in other parts OF
the country for the purpose Of plac
ing socialist teachers IN the schools
TO teach their doctrine.

MODERN TENDENCY.

society has passed through the era
of criticism and analysis and is now
becoming creative. We have been in
a dollhouse condition twenty years.
We have analysed the bible and
dogmatized the bible and have had
heFesy trials and have had trials that
were more dangerous than Chicago
fires, and we have asked questions
and answered them. We have passed
from the old thought that the world
was created in six days to the new
thought that God is making a new
world every moment. At length We
understand that God is not far of,
that he is not to interrupt our lives
with miracles, but He is close to man
and is living with him all the time
All this is the result Of science. We
are at the beginning of one Of the
greatest church going epOchs in all
history
The above statements are the utter
ances Of Rev. Newell Dwight Hills,
the noted Brooklyn divine. The most
intelligent thought Of the world is
being turned toward the undermining
Of religion and old beliefs that have
been the hope and fear of humanity
for centuries are fading in the lime
light OF modern thought and science,
and Christianity will be the gamer.
1t is a religious evolution following
the laws Of all nature and the time is
coming when the bible story Of the
creation Of man will be considered as
absurd as we're the theories advanced
by Darwin in his Descent Of Man"
a quarter Of a century ago. Science
and religion are getting so close to-
gethsr that time will eliminate all
differences.

Governor GoOding has made a COM
plete change of front ON the forest
reserve problem. He now agrees
with Chief Forester Pinchot and SEN
ator Dubois that the forest reserves
are necessary. Senator Heyburn still
maintains his ground against the Sho-
shone and Kootenai reserves. These
two conties have large areas tied up
in reserves and il would seem unjust
to further extend them, not because
the forest reserve policy is not desir-
able, but local conditions ought to
be taken into consideration.
