sion whirls into view, and before you
know it yours is one of the strange
faces that looks out from the gallery,
all wondering, even though knowing,
what he is going to do. But it's of no
use to fret Like trouble, he is ever
with you-thicker than dandelions on
a summer green. If he divides the
honors with any one, it's with the
woman who wants a souvenir of Gen
eral Washington.
Here in the banquet room, on the
spot where Lafayette, Rochambeau,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and
the Artists Houdon, Peale and Trum-
bull, besides many great revolutionary
generals, dined, the women hold their
executive sessions. The beautiful
silver mounted mirror that adorned
Washington's banquet board is re-
moved, and upon the table they write
of the progress that saved the old
house from ruin. To the Regents of
the Mount Vernon association, who
come once each springtime and actu-
ally live, eat, and drink, and sleep
under the famous old roof, does the
place owe its air of homelike COM
fort, as well as its preservation.
1t is the banquet room that was
prepared for the first time by the
hands of Lafayette and company of
French noblemen, who CHANGED to be
house guests. The story runs that a
ball was to be given, and the i'm
ported paper had arrived, but
no paperhangers. Mrs Washington
mourned, but the chivalrous Lafayette,
always ready to do or die, consoled
her-he was equal to the emergency
and he and his friends hung the paper,
assisted by the general and his house

men are literally surrounded by the
priceless treasures that they have
collected from the fading past for
the benefit of future generations. The

pictures, facing the difficulties of
Yorktown, glorifies the side of the
room, while from a mahogany cabinet
comes substantial suggestion of the

A Precious Heritage.

Sweetness of temper is precious
heritage. 1t gives beauty to every
thing. 1t keeps its windows open to-
wards the spice country, and fills the
home with perpetual delight. The for
tunate possessor of sunny soul is
Gods evangel in dark world. He is
living Gospel, which no one will
ever repudiate, and the blessedness Of
which all men will appreciate. The
body will grow old and the smooth
brow will be furrowed, but happy
disposition is an aureole to the grey
crown of age. Blessed is he whose
life looks out upon the land of Beulah,
and whose soul is responsive to the
outlying vision"

You must wade knee deep through
cherry tokens to reach the old con-
servatory, with the quaint, rambling
servants quarters tucked away under
the caves on each side, while sloping
roofs and whitewashed walls remind
one somehow of Bobbie Burns.
1t is curious how the American trav.
eler prefers to pilfer his historic
treasures rather than to pay a trifle
for them. The old gardener thinks
this is the case, and it is only by the
greatest vigilance that he has for 40
many years preserved the historic ont
line of the garden as originally planted
and laid off by Washington. Again.

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

INDIANS PLAN

They VIII Observe Usual
Gala Day Customs
July 4th
Special to Eyening Keller.

Special to Evening Teller.
SPALDING, Idaho, June 21.-wfth
the opening of the Indian celebration
set for July /, the customary plans for
the big event have not been inaugur-
ated and it is rumored that a portion
of the lovers of the war dance and
war parade may go to Lapwai to OBJ
serve the festivities.
Reports received from the Yakima
and .Umatilla reservations are to the
effect that a large number of the ceIe-
bration Indians are to- come from each
place, but unless the collection Of fuel
and horse feed is started at once the
duration Of the performances will be
much shorter than in years past.
The horse feed question seems to be
the most serious now confronting the
redmen as the late harvest viii carry
the haying season into the period us
ually set aside for the celebrations.
But few of the Indians have cut any
hay and much of the racing stock re-
mains loose on the ranges.
The big event of the gathering will
be held on July at which time all of
the gala costumes of the tribe will be
In evidence at the war parade and
dance. Following these ceremonies
the Indians will treat the visitors to a
barbecue of beef after which the or
gies for the night win be commenced.
Gambling. drinking and various dis
sipations are the order after the open
Ing celebration and under favorable
circumstances these practices are con-
tinued until the extreme heat drives
the Indians to the summer quarters In
the mountains.
