A Surprise Party.

Regent F. D. Ensign was "sur-
prised" by concerted call Christ
mas night made by about score
of his friends, the occasion being
his fiftieth birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Ensign was not surprised, and
had ready sumptuous 1epast, the
men being seated by themselves at
the dining room table where every
thing was very informal and old
fashioned, the pie appearing with
the soup, each one being thereby
able to gauge his gastronomic capa-
bilities from the start, the viands
being in view, and not served in
courses. The ladies had their re-
freshments in another room, and
were not quite so unconventional as
the men.
. Gifts were presented--a dremona
violin on which the host was sup
posed to be able to play just as we'll
as on any other, by DR.. Ashley; an
other musical instrument operated
by no great expenditure of breath,
a ribbon attached so that it may be
worn about the neck for conven-
fence, by w. S. Armstrong; watch,
a gift to fit the case, warranted NOT
to mark the flight of time, and ex-
employing two good notices for a
business man, namely. mo tick,
here" and watch your customers"
by President Brier.
These gifts were highly appreci-
ated by the recipient, not only for
their intrinsic value which could
have scarcely been less than seven
teen cents, but also for the fine
spirit that prompted the giving.
A very jolly and agreeable eve
ming was the result of the surprise"
and the company departed with the
thought that even the half-hundred
mark may have some compensations
in the cordial esteem and good
wishes of friends whom the years
have tried.
Those present were Reverend and
Mrs. Spencer, Judge and Mrs. Weld,
Mr.. ]. R. Henderson, President and
Mrs. Brier, Professor and Mrs. Will
son, Doctor and Mrs. Ashley, Mr..
and Mrs. 0. w. Newcomb, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Wadsworth. Mr.. and Mrs.
Elbridge Currier, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
S. Armstrong. Miss Laura Weld
and Miss Caroline Henderson.

Editor Rarely Quits,

In Balzac's Lesser Bourgeoisie"

work: Whose has ever been q

That horoscope is as sure and GER

relatively lazy and independent life;

that magistracy to which he is self
appointed-in short, whose has

A study into the construction
and meaning of words as defined in
standard dictionaries will make the
student more accurate in the use
of terms. Many of us often use a
word with a vague idea of it's true
significance. Suppose we look at
the words straight" and strait"
To many people these two words
are synonymous. Strive to enter
in at the strait gate" What sense
is there in the expression straight"
gate7 The two words have an en-
tirely different meaning. Straight"
means direct, not deviating, and
is associated with stretch" A
straight line is the shortest distance
between two points, determined
perhaps by Stretching" a string
between them. A strait is a narrow
passage and has no relation to the
idea of "directness" not "deviating"
Strait is the gate and narrow is
the way which leadeth unto life"
Strait" means narrow, confined,

Forests Grow Without Aid.

Without the Intervention OF the
forestry department or the aid of
men. thousands of acres OF land in
the Blue Mountains in Oregon are
becoming covered with dense
growth of young pine and fir, says
an exchange. In the districts of
timber has been cut for cor iwood.
there is now springing up young
forests. Out on the breaks OF the
mountails where there has never
been any timber except few scat
tered pines OF sturdy growth. there
has sprung up within the last fve
years thousands OF healthy trees.
The new growth of timber is not
confined to any favored spot of small
extent, but extends over broad er-
ca. The mountain traveller who a
few years ago rode through the
mountains and knew the guiding rid
ges and easy routes is today con-
fused by continuous wandering
through timber which was once an
open country.
Just what conditions have started
the thick and general growth is not
known, but favorable weather con Ii
tions must have prevailed durin.
some season when the seeds scat
tered by the scrubby pines and frs
took root and grew Succeeding
summers We're probably wet. and the
young evergreens gained foothold
in the soil SO that the roots reached
down to sufficient moisture 10 sus-
tain the young tree through periods
of drought and hard winters.
However it happened, the fact re-
mains that thousands of acres are
being reforested by nature without
any expense to the government.

many American fathers who can af-

such sum for each of them would
be appreciably fewer.
But we doubt whether the expend-

essary. or even wise. 1t is not by
such means that the American boys
who have grown into the men who
have done things have arrived. The
best and biggest men that have been
turned ont in America are those who,
as boys. ran barefoot through the
fields and knew the delights OF the
schoolhouse-boys who had their
own way to make in the world. One
has only to think of Lincoln, the
