him ready to take up this movement.
He assured the people Of Washington
that Idaho's governor would meet them
half way in any project for the de-
velopment of the two states.
The entire evening last night was
full Of interest and benefit from a
commercial standpoint. The early
part of the evening was devoted to a
reception to the honored guests. The
third floor Of Masonic temple was
used, and the visitors were introduced
to the two governors, President Good
all, and then Judge Edgar c. Steele,
Chief Justice Stockslager, Justices
Ailshie and Sullivan.
The Spokane band furnished music
and Morphy sang to- beat the band and
completely captured his audience.
After the reception the guests and
members Of the club retired to the
banquet hall, where fine spread had
been laid. After the wine had been
served, President Morris of the Lewis
ton ComPercias club gave short talk
in which he called for greater effort
and energy on the part of the two
cities, and introduced Mayor Heitfeld.
The mayor extended greeting and
said he would like TO greet them all
individually, and President Goodall of
the Spokane Commercial club was
called upon.
"The motto: Get Together he
said, sis the one that we should go by.
We have in the west the greatest op-
portunities for homeseekers and in
vestors to be found anywhere, and we
should let the whole world know it,"
In the conclusion of his remarks he
invited Lewiston to visit Spokane in
a body His invitation was greeted
with applause, but the applause was
still louder when President Morris
said:
I accept the invitation for Lewis
ton"
Mr. Babb then followed with his ad-
dress, and a selection was given by
the Bunch Grass quartette. They were
roundly applauded and in their second
selection paid tribute to Spokane in
verse.
Governor Mead, beside expressing
himself in favor of the free bridge,
gave an interesting talk along the lines
of the benefit of concerted action. He
spoke of the recent organization of
the commercial clubs of the north
west.
I'VE must work with the same
spirit he said.
Governor Gooding spoke especially
of the need oS an open river and the
need of standing together for his great
project. He was especially pleased
with the first day showing at the
great fair and was delighted to notice |
the rousing reception given the old
pioneers in the parade.

act.

Tact is born with some men and
women, like the supple, delicate fin
gers of the artists hand, and those
who have it use their gift instinc-
lively. 1t is not measured alike to
those who have it. Men possess it
in different degrees, while others
again are wanting in it altogether.
1t is the outcome of Intellectual and
temperamental qualifications and
implies the possession of clear per-
ceptions, quick imagination and del
icate sensibilities. 1t is these that
give the tactful person his subtle in
tuition of another's mental processes
and modes of feeling and in the
same moment exactly the right
method of dealing with these.

for some personal service and said,
Take this and go to the theater.'
Next morning, to his great surprise,
the boy returned the money to him,
saying he had not been able to use
it. Pressed for an explanation, the
boy said he had asked his mother
about it, and she advised him not
to 60 to the theater, and as he had
not used the money for the purpose

Lincoln the Larxer.

It is conceded By all his contempo-
raries that Lincoln was the best all
around jury lawyer of his day in IL
linois. Undoubtedly his knowledge Of
human nature played an important
part in his success. He possessed an
other quality, however, which is al
most If not quite as essential in jury
work, and that is clearness and SIM
plicity of statement. His logical mind
marshaled facts In such orderly se-
quence and he interpreted them in such
simple language that child could fol-
low him through the most complicated
cause, and his mere recital of the is
Eues had the force of argument-Fred-

THE ELYSEE PALACE.
Checkered Career Of the white
House of France.

Checkered Career Of the White
House of France.
The Elysee palace, situated in the
Rue Faubourg Saint-Honore, Is cross
between country house and a hotel.
1t has had checkered career since its
erection in 171S and has harbored some
queer characters. Louis V. presented
it to Mime. de Pompadour. Who knows
how many lettres de cachet went out
of the gates to imprison those who
lampooned her? Under Louis XVI. it
was called the Elysee Bourbon. Dur.
ing the revolution 1t became national
property, was put up for sale. found NO
purchaser and was turned into a gov
ernment printing Office. During the
directoire there were gay doings in the
fine old rooms, and the merveilleuses
and incroyables danced and gambled
from sunset to sunrise. The rooms
were let to syndicate who made q
large fortune out Of the speculation.
Since then the palace has been occu-
pied by Murat Napoleon l., Louis
Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Alex
.a1der I. Of Russia and the Due de
Bezri. After the revolution of 1890 it
remained unoccupied until Louis Ma
poleon made 1t his residence while he
was president of the republic. Nearly
all the subsequent presidents of the
present republic have added to 1t. The
large glass awning seen from the Fau-
bourg, called by the seoffers 1.-The mon
icy palace" was the work of Carnot
His also is the large ballroom. The
left wing was built by Louis Napoleon,
and Grevy added room overlooking
the garden. None of the presidents
seem to fancy its state bedroom, nor
do they write at the Louis XVI. table,
ornamented with brass work chiseled
by Gouttiere. They have one and all
preferred to furnish small rooms away
from the solemn state apartments and
use an ordinary desk such as we find
in any ofice.-Boston Transcript.

cEYLoN's DEVIL BIRD.
It Gets Its Bad Name From Its Ap-
pAllina Screams.

Most people who have visited the
island of Ceylon and penetrated into
its jungle Businesses have heard the
cry of the devil bird. This awe in
spring sound resembles nothing so
much as the scream of a human be-
ing undergoing the most terrible
torture. Naturalists have identi-
fed it with the Syrnium indrani-a
brown wood owl found in Hindu
stan. But the devil bird, or "ula-
ma" as the Cingalese call it, is an
elusive creature, and no one has had
the good fortune to kill or catch a
specimen. The Cingalese-natural-
ly superstitious race-regard the
cry of this bird with the utmost hor-
TOR. They believe that its scream
heard at night presages the most
dire misfortune, and they are in the
habit of offering sacrifices to avert
the approaching disaster. The SUI
perstition is probably of very great
antiquity. But Robert Knox, who
was prisoner in Ceylon for twen-
ty years about the middle of the
seventeenth century, gives an inter
esting account of it, although in
common with the natives he be-
Geyed the cry proceeded from the
devil himself.
"This / can CONFIRM" he writes,
''that oftentimes the devil doth cry
with audible voice in the night. IT'S
very shrill, almost like the barking
of a dog. This / have often heard
myself. Only this observation the
inhabitants of the land have made
of this voice, and I made it also that
either just before or very suddenly
after this voice always the king cuts
off people. To believe that this
is the voice of the devil these rea-
sons urge: Because there is no crea-
ture known to the inhabitants that
cries like it and because it will on a
sudden depart from one place and
make a noise in another quicker
than any fowl can fly and because
the very dogs will tremble and shake
when they hear it, and it's SO ac-
counted by all the people"
A modern account, however, is
given by Mr.. Milford of the Ceylon
civil service, who affirmed that he
had often heard the cry while at
Kurunegala, where the bird haunted
the rocky hill behind the govern
ment house. He had evidently
studied the mysterious bird with
great interest. "Its ordinary note, /"
he writes, "is magnificent, clear
shout, Like that of a human being,
which can be heard at a great dis
tance, and has a fine effect in the
silence of the closing night. But
the sounds which have earned for ii
its bad name and which l have
heard but once to perfection are
indescribable, the most appalling
that can be imagined, and scarcely
to be heard without shuddering. ]
can only compare it to boy in tor
ture, whose screams are being stop
| ped by being strangled. d."-Chicago
