About giving tips 10 servants there

Years ago. man Tho was born and
had lived abroad most of his life, was
often visitor in the home of a young
girl whom he greatly admired, and
who later became his wife Following
the European custom, he always set
his boots outside his bedroom door at
night, and he invariably fou1d them

in the morning. He had been some
time a married man before he discov-
cred that the maid who had blackened
his boots was the dainty daughter OF
the house. She used to steal softly to
the door when all was still and carry
those boots to the bathroom, where
she cleaned them herself. The maids
who did the ordinary work would have
disdained this homely task which she
willingly took upon herself for her
lover, rather than give him moments

Host and hostess should plan to give
guests a good deal of freedom In the
week's-end visit. It is great bore to
be constantly entertained. The free
dom of the house and grounds, liberty
to drive or row on lake or river, and
some degree of license as to reading,
writing letters. or taking walks are
greatly appreciated. If there are chill
dren in the family keep them some
what in the background. American
children are apt 70 exact quite too
much from those who visit their par
ents.
Precocious children are dreaded by
bachelors and young people who are
absorbed in their own matters and re-
gard "kids'' as rather superfluous when
garden parties and picnics are on foot,
and yet some people suffer their chill
dren to tag along On every occasion,
whether they are in the way or not.
The children will have their innings
later; while they are little let them
have the sweet security and retirement
that BELTS childhood.
A week's-end visit is very brief.
Make it ideal if you can.

try conclusions with him the sec ond

the brightest exchanges that came to
our table and have no hesitation in
saying that by death the newspaper

Mr.. Davis has worn the laurels fol
many years as the most gifted liter
airy man in the State. He was logical.
concise, witty, cutting, sarcastic and
smoothly fluent, as occasion requir-
ed. His style was unique, and
possessded an originality that was
refreshing, being unlike that of any
other literary man. Any one who
ever persued his productions could
read few lines and Enthusiastically
name the author. Every line had a
characteristic popularity, some
thing that was unlike the production
of any other literary man. He has
long been recognized as the most
gifted ailround writer in the State.
No matter what subject he touched
upon, Davis had the happy faculty
of lending a charm to it that held
the interest of the reader whether or
not he cared anything for the subject

Rees Davis, the best known and
very ablest newspaper writer's in
Idaho, died at his home in Caldwell
last Sunday, after brief illness
Mr.. Davis was a writer of marvellous
talent and for many years the work
of his pen has entertained and in
structed the people of Idaho. AT
one time he published the Malad En-
terprise and served in the Legislature
from Oneida county, but for the past
SIXTEEN years has been the editor of
the Caldwell Tribune. His death
will be sincerely mourned by the peo-
pie of his state. Rupert Record.

By the death of Rees Davis, which
occurred unexpectedly at his home in
Caldwell last Sunday the newspaper
fraternity has lost one of its very
brightest members. He was re-
cognized as the most versatile editor
ial writer in the state and has WELD
ed considerable influence in tn
politics of Idaho. He had been
editor of the Caldwell Tribune since
1898, having purchased the paper
from the Steunen berg brothers. He
represented Oneida county in the
legislature in 1887 and served as
commissioner of immigration and
labor during a portion of Governor
Morrison's term. Had it not been
for one failing of this noble and
lovable man, Rees Davis could have
held any political Office within the
gift of the people of Idaho. But now
that he has passed to that bourne
from whence no traveller ever returns,
let us draw the mantle of charity
over his shortco nings, forget the
dark side of his life and cherish in
our memory only the many good and
beautiful words he wrote when he WAS

time to come we will not look upon
another like him. He was an orna-
ment to the state that p1ofited so

the good that he did we will have
much to remember. Rees Davis
could do more with English words
than any writer Idaho has produced.

had opportunity favored, he would
have made some great newspaper

Nampa citizens learnd with regret
of the death of Hon. Rees Davis of
Caldwell, who passed away at his
home at about 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. Mr.. Davis had been iden
titled with this section for thirteen
years, making his home at CALDWELL
during those years, where he ably
edited the Caldwell Tribune He
was broad minded citizen of the
county, and while intensely loyal to
his home town, he was interested as
we'll in the progress of the entire
county. AS the editor of the Cald-
will Tribune, he occupied one of the
foremost places In Idaho journalism,
being probably the most versatile
writer in the state. He was actively
interested in politics, was staunch
republican aud at different times held
positions of honor in the party. Be-
ing man of strong intellect and
power, great generosity and kindness,
he will be strongly missed from the
ranks of Canyon county citizens.

Rees Davis is dead. The vetern
editor has gone to herald in another
world the arbitrament of fate. His
trenchant pen will no more delight
US with its eloquence. Honest, fear
less, courageous at all times and
under all circumstances, he never
failed to perform his duty to human
ity, as he saw fit, and ever scorned
to truckle to the narrowness of
human dogma. Liberal, broadmind-
ed, according to every man the right
to think and act in compliance with
the dictates of ais own conscience, a
tolerant Of all creed and inspiring
in his condemnation of wrong, he
endeared himself to thousands. His
heart was as tender as a woman's,
and the appeal of little child would
ever bring to his eye the tear of
sympathy. Having faults of his
own, he was charitable towards those
of others. The world would be
better if more men like Rees Davis
lived in it. Parma Herald.

in the most eloquent language was
such as possessed by no other writer
