If YOU WOULD
BE HELPFUL.

Believe in those about you.
Call out their strength, stimulate their
Independence, grant them high motives
and noble actiops.
They Will soon come to look for those
qualities within themselves. In stress or
temptations, in bitterness Of impending
defeat, in the humiliation of temporary
wrongdoing, your high vision of them VIII
fire their hearts anew. strengthen the soul
that is faltering. lift UP the broken spirits.
1t is not the soul who has been taught
to fear evils who triumphs, but the soul
who knows no evil need be feared.
The boy who thinks no has sinned is
looking down into the abyss, says the
Cleveland Sunday Plain Dealer.
Help him to see just where he stands.
How much better IL mothers would only
meet the eyes of their children with
friendly understanding and an unfailing
belief in their children's strength.
Children's hearts would not then be bur-
dened with the consciousness of a sinful
act never to be erased, but, on the con-
trary, their Intelligence will be appealed
to. their grateful appreciation of fairness,
calmness of Judgment. purity of purpose
aroused, while affection-the strongest of
all forces-would have been stirred and
deepened by the love and understanding
accorded them. :

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

Inere are Americans in all parts Of Eu-
rope, and they have even invaded the court
circles OF Europe. Princess Brancaccio is
the most intimate friend of Queen Mar
gnerita, the queen mother of Italy, and
the princess was an American, a Miss
rleid OF New York. Recently, when she
was leaving Rome, she passed an hour with
the princess and has in every way shown
her affection for the A~merican-born wom-
an. There has been much talk Of the
queen mothers coming to the United States
at different times. but It Is not likely that
she will ever make the trip. although sha
is very" fond of travel.
In a review Of the events in the life ~
Julia Ward Howe on her eighty-eIrbth
birthday, it is said that Mrs. Howe always
keeps on her dressing table a CODY of Kant
which is her daily companion, and she re-
cites to her grandchildren eStudentenlied-
or" learned years ago from her brother.
Her latest word to her friends is. THE
world growsfbetter, and not worse; but it
does not grow better everywhere all the
time"

Tor the statement that the Boise PostofHca
has all other postof1ces in the country
beaten in one respect, and that is the en-
ployment OF women as rural carriers. There

Stewart. who for years has claimed the
undisputed title of champion bronco buster
and trick rider of the Northwest, took up
the duties OF delivering the mail for rural
route No. 2, the heaviest route out of Boise.
She Is the third woman to break into the
work there. Her route Is twenty-six miles

WORTH CLIPPING.

Not only the bathtub but the wash
bowl can be quickly cleaned of the dark
rim showing the water line by using a
cloth moistened with gasoline, especial
ly when hard water is used.
Plaster casts may be leaned by rub
bling all over with a mixture of bees

dirt will come off when this polish is
removed, first with a brush and finally
with a soft cloth.
When starching anything with a fringe
double the article in four parts, gather
fringe tightly in the hand, and hold it
while you dip middle in starch. When
dry shake the fringe well and comb
with a coarse comb.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

mony and love are incidents. With a

ness man is satisfying. If the right wom-
on is a factor or is benefited by his BUSH
ness success, he counts his as an added
blessing. The woman cannot enjoy sue
cess alone. She must share 1t with some

unselfishness in the woman. With a man

A Novel Iden.

Was reading recently of d Western
druggist who hit upon a novel way Of
freeing himself of young men and
women who made nuisances of them
selves by using his public telephone as
a means of making love.
For a long time he had been an
noyed considerably; 1t was a common
thing for a young man to enter the
store. partly close the door of the
booth and engage in a tender CONVEX
sation with some fair damsel on the
other end of the wire for over an hour.
The sentimental adjectives which came
floating through the half-open door
continually added fuel to the druggists
wrath. and when one day he heard a
young swain imprint a sounding kiss
on the mouthpiece of the phone that
1t might travel over the wire to the
lady of his affections he vowed to stand
1t no longer.

THE NECK OF A WAIST.

The neck of a waist is often extremely
uncomfortable. not because of a bad cut,
but because of the n in which the
band has been applied. Two, precautions
are necessary-first, to see that the back
Is not too Tight next, to see that the front
Is not too loose. II you see on another
woman a blouse with a crosswise plat up
at the neck. you may know that the band
Is too tight from shoulder to shoulder.
Many home essmakers think that this
defect arises from the neck being too high
and they trim It down a little. This, in
stead OF curing the trouble, rather ac-
~centuates 1t. The rule Is simple. In ap-
plying a neckband hold the band toward
you from shoulder to shoulder in the back
and the waist toward you from shoulder
to shoulder In the front. A BIT of stretch
ing in b back and an fmperceptibie pull
Ing OF the FROM caase no trouble, while
the reverse has been known to spoIl a
gown.

THE HOME THAT

All the corners are cozy, though none

easy chairs, divans. tables with maya
zines handy and cushions that one can

The eternal fitness of things Is the

HOME HINTS.

Cereals are seldom overlooked, but
rather u~ndercooked. Thus, always al
low plenty of time in preparing ce-
reals.
The polished appearance of starched
clothes will be increased if a piece of
wax the size Of a small bean and half
a teaspoonful of powdered boraX be
added during the boiling.
The new heavy embroideries of raised
gold and silver work should never be
brushed in the ordinary way. If rubbed
gently with a piece of crimson velvet q
good result will be obtained.
White dresses n waists may be
made to look as fresh as when new by
making a very thin raw starch and,
with a clean piece of old muslin, just
dampen the garment a little and iron
with a hot iron.
Emery paper If tackled upon a board
is useful for smoothing the slightly
broken edges of thin tumblers. BY
carefully rubbing the glasses back and
forth a smooth surface is obtained, but
not if the glass is too badly cracked.
Before storing knives oil them care
fully and wrap them in paper. This is
to keep them from rusting. but it will
be well to inspect them occasionally, for
they may need oiling again, and witt
rust prevention is certainly better thar
cure.
To remove rust from f1atirons rub
them with a little warm grease and
wrap them up in brown paper. Then
dissolve a small piece of soda In hot
water, dip the irons in this, rub them
dry n put them to heat as usual.
When ready to use them rub them on
a piece of brown paper that has a lit
tie powdered bath brick upon 1t.
Grease stains on morocco leather can

and preserves the material.

silly Little Girls.

1t is too bad that the young girl who
has to go to business is not born with
an old head on her young shoulders,
so that she may know better than TO
commit any Of the little foolishnesses,
which, absolutely harmless as far as
her intent Is concerned, often cause
her to be criticised by those who see
her mistakes.
There are many offices around the
centre Of the city where the employers
think nothing Of placing their arms
about their stenographers, who smile
uncertainty, not knowing whether 30
resent the familiarity or not.
In one building n great number of
men are employed, and they find the
greatest sport in looking into a window
across the way, watching a little stem
ographer and her employer, who die
tates the majority of his letters With
his arm about her.
She is onfy a girl, not yet out of
her teens, and one is sure that were
she a little older she would sdmd him
right about face in a great hurry.
Every girl makes a great, great mis-
take In allowing the least familiarity
of speech or action from her men ac-
quaintances.
She must not think for a moment
that they will resent a good reprlmand.
on the other hand they will, in nine
cases out Of ten, take it in good part,
and respect her a thousand times more
for 1t.
Every man ~instinctively places
woman upon a pedestal, and 1t is her
greatest duty to herself to keep his
highest opinion. To be a true, womanly
woman, is one of the greatest things
In the world. MOLLIE.

The Result.

The next day the young man n

and beat a hasty retreat. He was fol-
lowed in a few minutes by a young
woman, who did the same thing. A
little later another young man entered,
only to depart as quickly as the others.

tons of the three. they have no more
use for my phone. l am going to write
to every druggist In this city, telling
him of my plan, and between us Wen

He led the mar to the door of the

where you drop q nickel in the slot,
was a neat card, inscribed as follows:
