The True Wife.

Be satisfied to commence
on a small scale. It is too
common for young house
keepers to begin where their
mothers ended. Buy all that
is necessary to work skillfulfy
with; adorn your house with
all that will render it comfor-
table. Do not look at richer
homes and covet their costly
furniture. If secret dissatis-
fation is ready to spring up,
go a step further, and visit
the home of the suffering
poor; behold dark, cherries
apartments, insufficient cloth
ing, and absence Of all the
comforts and refinement of
social life, and then return
to your own with a joyful
spirit. You will then be pre-
pared to meet your husband
with a grateful heart, and be
ready to- appreciate the toll
of self denial which he has
endured in the business world
to surround you with the de-
lights of home; and you will
cooperate cheerfully with
him in SO arranging your ex-
penses,, that his mind will not
be harassed lest his family
expenses may encroach upon
public payments. Be indie
pendent, a young housekeep-
er never needed greater
moral courage than she does
now, to resist the arrogance
of fashion. Do not let the
AS ard BIS decide what you
shall have. neither let them
hold the strings of your purse.
It matters little what people

true to yourself, to right and

within your means.

quents the haunts of men,
showing by this that it is Of
a sociable character; cities.
villages, and the sparsely
populated neighborhood,
each and all claim it's atten-.
ton.
It's form is often so beauti
full that it becomes a house
hold pet; it is f1attered and
caressed as much as the most
honored guest. It is found
among the first circles of
society, dazzling all with it's
music, and alluring with it's
specious wiles the most un-
wary; the fairest forms, the
purest characters are chosen
to satisfy it's craven and de-
noralized appetite. While it
seeks out the homes of the
honored and refined, and
glides into the hearts of the
most confding, it is not the
least partial in it's choice of
associates, for the haunts of
the vicious are not unfre-
.quently visited by this wiley
serpent.
It certainly does ''hiss"
long and loud; but never un-
til after it has struck it's
poisonous fangs to the most
vital part. The very best
physicians have failed to find
an antidote for it's venomous
bite. Unlike other poison
Gus reptiles, it does not pro-

never free from the fear of
receiving another attack from
some unknown quarter. AL
though these reptiles are very
numerous, and constantly
venting their spiteupon some
one, yet they may be in ones
own dwelling for years and
not be recognized.
They have often been
known to sting their best
friends; even the hands that
feed them are no ways exempt.
For thousands of years this
species of serpent has been
Inurtured and cherished with
almost unbounded admiration;
but it's affections are not
bound to any one, and no laws
Of the land are strong enough
to free us from this terrible

abruptly with, ''but-I was

THAW TRIAL
FOR DECEMBER
Temporary Insanity Will
Be Plea of Slayer of
Stanford White.

NEW YORK, Sept, 3o-December
has now definitely been decided on as
the month in which the second trial of
Harry K. Thaw, charged with the
murder of Stanford White, will be
called. Martin w. Littleton, Thaw's
leading counsel, who succeeded Del
phin NJ. Delmas in that capacity, has
been fnsistent in his efforts to have
the trial begin next month, but it is
said that his efforts to have the dis
trict attorney place the case on the
calendar have been Intellectual.
Most of the sensational features of
the first trial will be eliminated by
L'tf1eton. The defense will be based
entirely on the plea of temporary in
sanity, and there will be no appeal to
the 'unwr.tten law" Thaw's long
stay in the Tombs has rendered him
more tractable to the suggestions of
his attorneys and has led him to fore
go his intention of planning his own
defense. His one desire now is to es-
cape from the prison cell in which ma
has been prisoner for so many weary
months, and to do so he is willing to
give up his desire to pose before the
jury as the heroic avenging angel who
acted in behalf of many wronge6
women when he slew White.
Thaw killed Stanford White. a not
ed New York architect, during a play
on the Madison Square roof garden.
After his arrest he stated that White
had wronged his wife and ruined his
life and that he deserved killing. The
trial was one of the most sensational
ever tried in this country nd ii
brought out the rottenness of the way
that many of the So called -four hun
dred" spend their idle moments. The
testimony of Mrs. Harry Thaw was a
story unequalled in the history of
United States courts, and it is said
that no woman was ever forced to go
on the stand and tell so narrowing a
tale of her life of depravity.
Dolphin M. De1mas, who defended
Thaw at which time the plea of the
"unwrftten law was strongly placed
before the jury, is considered one of
the most famous attorneys ON the Pa
cific coast. 1t is thought by many
that Delmas made a mistake in his
plea, which is said to have caused the
jury to disagree
The second trial of Thaw will no
doubt be one of the greatest in the
courts of the country.

RUSSIA SEES
AMERICAS PLACE.
Predicts a Mastery of the
Pacific for Coming
World Power.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. S0-Sec-
retary Tafts tour of the world is be-
ing followed with unusual interest
here. The government is taking meas
ures to surround the journey through
Siberia and European Russia with at
tentions usually observed for the rul-
ers of states and the press is busy
specializing on the likelihood of a Rus
sian American convention, the object
of Mr.. Taft's visit to Russia, being, it
is alleged to negotiate an agreement
between the United States and Rus
sia.
The conviction prevails here that
war between Japan and the United
States is inevitable in the distant flu
ture. The Novoe Vremya today pub
fishes an article entitled "The New
World Power" picturing the marvel
Gus growth of America as a sea power
during President Roosevelts admins
tration, warning Russia diplomacy
mot to be caught unawares by coming
events" and by adding:
The day when the United States
fleet passes out of the Straits of Ma
gellan and moves proudly into the wa
ters of the Pacific will open a new
era for the Eastern world. Official
courtesies and the temporary hull in
war talk does not conceal the fact that

SENATOR SHOUP
Noted New York SCULPTOR
Contracts for Statue
in Marble.

BOISE, Sept. 30-Prof. F. E. Trie-
bel, a noted sculptor of New York, was
awarded the contract calling for the
completion of a Carrara marble statue

T. Smith, secretary, and Joseph Per-
rault treasurer. Senators Hepburn

lifelong friend of the late Senator
Shoup, was present in response to an
invitation from the commission. and
offered suggestions relative to the
style and material to be used.
Prof. Triebel displayed photograp phs
of work done by him and numerous
press comments which were instru-
mental in assisting the commission in
arriving at a decision to have the
statue made of Carrara marble from
Italy, as that is the clearest and best
for the work. The statue will be seven
feet high, and will be mounted on a
pedestal three feet high, making the
entire height 10 feet The coat of
arms of Idaho will be engraved on the
front of the pedestal

the commission who may be selected
to go to New York and inspect the
work. Upon acceptance of the model
one half of the amount appropriated
will be paid the sculptor and the other
half paid when the statue is completed
and placed in statuary hall at the ma
tional capital. with the approval of
congress.
