the setting of political pins which fol-

ment.
1t was three weeks and more after
Gov. Marstons call summoning the
assembly for an inyestigative session.
Kent had fought his way triumphant
ly through the special election to a
seat in the house, aided and abetted
manfully by prmsby, Hildreth and the
entire Trans-Western influence and
vote. And now men were beginning
to say that without the tireless blows

But the house committee, of which
Kent was the youngest member and
the chairman, had proved incorrupti-
BILE, and the day of the CASTOR wolf
pack was over. Hendricks resigned,
to escape worse thing; Meigs came
over to the majority with a show OF
heartiness that made Kent doubly
watchful of him; heads fell to the
right and left, until at the last there
was left only one member of the orig
inal cabal to reckon with; the judi
cial tool Of the capitol ring.
Kent had hesitated when MacFar-
lanes name came up; and the judge
never knew that he owed his escape
from the inquisitorial house commit
tee, and his permission to resign on
the plea of broken health, to young
woman whom he had never seen.
It was Elinor Brentwood who was
his intercessor; and the occasion was
the last day Of the third week of the
extra session. Saturday afternoon
and a legislative recess when Kent
had borrowed Ormsby's auto-car, and
had driven Elinor and Penelope out

had returned upon him with all the
acuteness OF half-satis6ed passion.
They had gone all over the house
and grounds with the caretaker, and
when there was nothing more to see,
Penelope had prevailed on the woman
to open the venetians in the music
room. There was a grand piano in
the place Of honor, presided over by
a mechanical piano-player; and Pene-
1ope went into ecstasies of mockery.
"'Wait till can find the music
scrolls, and I'll hypnotize you," she
said gleefully; azd Kent and Elinor
beat hasty retreat to the wide en-
trance hail.
II don't quite understand it," was
Elinor's comment, when they had put
distance between themselves and Pen
elope's joyous grinding-out of Wag-
ner scroll. 1T looks as if the owners
had Just walked out at a moments
notice."
''They did," said Kent. "They
went to Europe, believe. And by the
way; think I have souvenir here
somewhere. Will you go up to the
first landing of the stair and point
your finger at that Window"
She did it, wondering; and when he
had the line Of direction he knelt in
the cushioned window-seat and began
to probe with the blade of his pen

woodwork.

On the: subject of the apples and
mug the pictures shown in Group 2
were taken from class of young chill
dren. The selection gives variety
of faults and three pictures that are
Of merit.
Faults Pointed Out.
OF the first the criticism might be
that the apples and mug are too small,
too insignificant; they do not fill the
picture, and the shelf is out of pro-
portion-so much larger than need be.
In the second the apples are too
much in straight line, as though

look at Nos. Z, and 8.
Nos. Z. 8 and 9 are all well in pro-
portion, especially No. 8, In which the
apples have been drawn with an accent

number of pupils-150-20O will be
a great advantage as it will
give splendid opportunity Tor IN

We learn that a few young

Provo. Logan, to BIG schools to
take courses during the coming
year. To such who have com

Academy we have nothing tC
say, but to others, we simply
say they are standing in theil
own light, and the only possible
advantage that will come to
them is an opportunity to get ii
a bigger crowd and spend more

a day is enough for any farmer
to work except in harvest time.
When you rise at 4 O'Clock and
work till dark, what is life
worth?
You should not rob your fami-
lies OF sleep. Sleep is the best
medicine in the world. There is
no such thing as health without
plenty of sleep. Sleep until you
are thoroly rested and restored.
When YOU work, work; and
when you get through take a
good, long refreshing sleep.
ON GREEDINEsS,
There is another fault com.

want too much land. You can

always been, and that while there
may be some in the senate who
who are not worthy, they con
stitute the exception and not the
rule. The debates on the rate
bill were engaged in by nearly
every senator. The really great
speeches, however, were deliver
ed by Spooner, Knox, H y)urn,
Fulton. Dolliver, Laiollette,
Bailey and Foraker, The work
done by these men was Of a high
character. In addition to their
being great lawyers, they are all
speakers Of recognized ability.
Theirs were great legal argu-

compared with anything in legaI

From NV. p. Association, S. G.
Washington, July 9, 1906.
The work of the first session
Of the seth congress is now a
history. Since the fourth day OF
December OF last year both
houses of congress have been
wrestling with the most intri-
cate subjects that have received
the attention of the people of the
United States for many years.
During the consideration of these
impOrtant'questions many new
leaders have appeared on the
scene and taken the places OF
those who have been compelled
to take a back seat on account
of age or failure to measure up
to the high mark which the gray.

sary. The work of this session
of congress has not been childs
play in any particular, and The
men who have taken the promi-
nent part in the great work have
with very few exceptions, beer
comparatively young men.
Without doubt the most i'm
portant measure passed by thi
congress is the rate bill. 1h,

ON GETTING TOGETHER.
If you want more men and wo-
men on the farms, something
must be done to make farm life
pleasant, One great difficulty is
that the farm is lonely. People
talk about the pleasures of soil
tudes, but they are found only
in books. People who live much
alone become narrow and sus-
picious. They are apt to be the
property of one idea. They be-
gin to think there is no use in
anything They look upon the
happiness Of others as a kind OF
folly. They hate joyous folks,
because way down in their
hearts, they envy them.
In our country, farm life is too
!
lonely. The farms are large, and
neighbors are too far apart. In
the early settlement of our coun-
try the pioneer was forced to
take his family, his OK, his dog,
and his gun, and go into the fan
wild forest, and build his cabir
miles from any neighbor He
saw the smoke from his cabin &C
up alone in all the wide and lone
ly sky. But this necessity has
passed away and now, instead
of living so far apart upon th'
lonely farms, you should live il
villages. With the improved
machinery which you have, will
your generous soil-with you
, markets and means of transpor
tation, you can now afford t.
