Atlanta, Ga, closed an address as fol-
lows:

/ OPPORTUNITY.
Master OF human destines am I:
Fame, love and fortune on my foot

Deserts and seas remote, and passing
Howell and mart and palace-soon or

I knock unbidden once at every gate.

And they, who follow me, reach every

Now listen to the spirit OF Opt

They do me wrong who say I come
no more,
When once knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake and rise to fight
and win.
Wait not for precious chances passed
away;
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane;
Each night I burn the records Of the
day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have sped;
To vanquished joys behind be deaf
and dumb,
Ny judgments seal the dead past with
its dead,
But never bind a moment vet to

GOOD TIME MOVES UP
F. B. WurzbaCher Becomes
 Agent At Skagway

F. B. Wurzbacher, heretofore freight agent of the W. P. X Y. R. at Skagway, has been promoted to the position of general agent, and as such he will have full charge of the freight and passen- ger traffic at this place. MT. Wurz- 5acher's new duties will include those which have come under his supervis on in the freight department and in addi- tion those which have come under the direction of R. D. Pirneo, heretofore assistant general freight and passenger agent. Whether he will maintain two offices, one at the railroad building ard another at the wharf, as now, has not been determined.
 R.D. Pinneo goes from Skagway to become chief clerk iu the office of J, F.. Rogers, the traffic manager, at Van couver. His duties there will be stmi- far to those which have heretofore been performed by NJ. J. B. White, general freight and passenger agent.
 Nd B. White has resigned from the company and will go into the brok craze business at Seattle after making trip to Europe.
 F. s. Wuazbacher, who has been pro- noted to a position of much greater re- spOnsibiliJy, is one of the oldest em- p.oyees of the railroad company and is recognized as one of the most thorough railroad men in the west. He has m1ny friends who will rejoice because of his elevation.
 The transfer of Mr. Pinneo from Skagway to Vancouve will serve a double purpose. It is regarded as a promotion for him ard it will give the railroad another man ou the Sou@d who | is thoroughly conversant with north ern matters. MT, and Mrs. Pinneo will probably leave on the next trip of the Amur for the south.

The feature of the evening was the presentation oipillows, made in the colors of the order, to the lady commander, Mrs. NJ. Fl. Me Lel'au, and the past-commander, Mrs. A. W. Reed.

The hostess had arranged for a party on
the night before the departure of her guests.

During the day the girls, who had planned to
have what they termed "deer hunt" were
busy from cellar to attic arranging hiding
places, and by the time the guests arrived, ALL
with the exception of host and hostess, were
safely slowed out of sight. The cause of the
girls absence was explained to the men, who
were to play the part of hunters, and at a sig
nal from hunting horn, the search began.
The hunt occupied lively hour and a half
and even then girl stored away on a pantry

For the superstition party you should decorate

large and small wishbones made of wood paper
conspicuous feature. Pictures of black cats
may be in evidence designs of witches, four-leaf
cloyers etc. You can arrange the different ideas
effectively. When the guests enter give them
cards ornamnted with designs of cats, wishbones,
redhaired young women in conjunction with
white horses, and other absurd drawings, and ask
that each one shall write his or her pet super
stiton. 1t will cause great amusement to have
these read aloud later, They have no names, but
there may be a guessing contest in seeing who can
put together correctly the greatest number of
superstitions and people 1t is also good idea
to have a storytelling game where all must re-
late some incident of their lives in which some
superstitution had part. The refreshment table
should be decorated to be in harmony with the
rest of the entertainment, and you can have for
place-cards four-leaf covers of cardboard coored

The latest report of the Royal National Pen

that there is no other work for women which
so surely gets them married nursing. This
fact is not hard to understand. Nurses are often
literally angels of mercy, gliding into the sick
room, gently but firmly dispelling awkward help
ers and quieting the patient by their very calm
ness. While nurses personality does count for
something with the patient, still many of those
little qualities which appeal to him so strongly
are as mechanical as a rule in mathematics.

MYV1UDGING from the number Of requests

eaaz2zS table, it is evident that many more
housekeepers are following in the wise
footsteps of their mothers with regard to the
homemade savories of varying description.
This, in measure, is responsible for the dis
closures of impure foods, which have shown that
poisonous preservatives are employed to retain
the most inviting color Of the natural fruit or
vegetable. In many cases the coloring is even
more than characteristicay brilliant.
OF course, not all canning and preserving fac.
tories are guilty Of employing harmful preserva-
tives, but in many cases the guilt has been un-
deniable Again, many firms have women who
put up various jellies and relshes for them, which
are made according to old-fashioned homemade
recipes. There is a certain genuine look and con-
vincing flavor about these products that are GER
tainly very tempting
DON'T ovERESTIMATE YOUR STRENGTH
For those women who do supply their familys
needs with delectable appetizers let me give
word of precaution. / do not approve nor is
there any occasion for women to constantly
drudge over hot fire in summer for the sake of
filling their jelly closets to overfowing.
More than woman has gone to pieces when
the last pickle went into it's little jar.
Our mothers and grandmothers were wont to
give themselves little peace during the summer
interim in this respect. They were lavish pro-
viders and their families twice the size, but
their slavish days and nights were not the means
of making them any younger.
When berries fruits and vegetables are taken
in their season there is always an interval be-
