How easy it is to take up courses
of reading that will carry one over
practically all the curriculum of a
college. Where there is a modern
and prophetical preacher in the pull
pit, there, too, is a source of educa-
ton to the responsive soul. Listen
carefully to every reference your
pastor makes to books. Take the
name down, then get the book and
read it. Try and write down, after
the sermon. the leading thought.
Compare the pastors thought with
the best thought Of the reviews and
see If he is moving with the moving
world.
There is really not quite so much
reason to grow discouraged as you
sometimes think. A college training
is a splendid thing, and not to be
esteemed too lightly. Yet, after all,
it is only a small item in the great
forces of our day. And the college
degree counts but little in a society
where elemental moral force and
original mental vigor and above all
prophetical outlook are counting for
so much. To have had the training
Is valuable-not to have had it is
no reason for encouragement.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, while in Nevada
recently, saw a Siwash or Pluto Indian
girl Of about three years standing in front
of a lodge, CARRIED only in Natures raiment.
Mrs. Mackay was moved to write the fol-
lowing:
r o! by the lodge door stands a
smockless Venus,
Unblushing bronze, she shrinks
not, having seen us.
Though there is naught but prairie
grass between us.
All unabashed, unhaberdashed, unheed-

No Medicean charmingly receding,
But quite unconscious of improper
breeding.
For 10! her age her reputation spareth;
At three years old pert Venus little
careth.
She puts her hands upon her hips and
stareth.

iris?
Where sweep of light and phantom

And not a soupcon OF a wild desire is?

Lewiston Talk Machines Tied Up by
Operators Who Want Eight Hour
Day.
Nine telephone girls, heard by
Irene Tobin, chef operator, walked
out Of the Pacific States Telephone
company's office at noon today be-
cause their demand for an elght-hour
day was not granted, says Lewiston
item. The trouble has been brewing
! for some time, but 1t was not expect
ed that a strike would be called un-
til today, when the girls gave Man
ager Truitt one hour to agree to their
terms.
Grace and Elsie Schlebe, two girls
long in the employ of the telephone
company, state that their demands
have been ignored, although they
have been made at repeated inter-
walls for seven months. They claim
that the girls In other towns in the
northwest enjoy an eight hour day
and that they have asked Manager
Truitt to arrange similar hours for
them.
They will establish pickets and en-
deavor to persuade new girls from
taking the places of the strikers. The
service is crippled, as only two girls
are at work, although Manager Rey-
nolds of Spokane is expected tonight
with five girls to fill the places of the
striking operators. The strikers will
meet the train and endeavor to per-
suade the girls to return home.
Manager Truitt claims the girls
gave him only 40 minutes to secure
permission to establish an eight-hour
schedule. which was impossible, as
consent would have to be secured from
San Francisco.

mer, while intoxicated at his home
at ST. Joe, made an endeavor TO shoot
his wife, and in the attempt and grap-
pie which followed fatally wounded
his daughter, Miss Ethel, aged II
years. 1t is claimed that he became
offended at his wife and swore ven-
geance, following his threat with an
attempt to kill says a dispatch from
Coeur d'Alene.
With drawn revolver he started to-
ward his wife, when the daughter, to
save the mothers life. sprang between
them and started to grapple with her
father trying to take the gun from
him. In the rumpus the revolver was
discharged, the bullet passing through
the girls abdomen, ranging down
ward. Later, the father intoxicated,
threatened TO kill every member of the
family.
At a late hour the girl was still
alive, but no hope was held out for
her recovery, internal hemorrhage
having set in. Sargent is in the hands
of officers awaiting the result of his
shooting. Should the girl die, the
charge of assault with intent to kill
which has been lodged against him
will be changed to murder.

20 Probability of Strange Airshir
Visiting Section.
The light which is seen in the sky
evenings i'm westerly direction from
the city and which has given rise to
the "airship" story may be the "even-
ing star''-that Is a planet-or again
It may not be. Director Gull, of the
school board, who admired the elec-
trio blue light flashing in the heavens
last evening, from Yakima avenue,
declared that 1t is a star" says the
yakima Republic.
And as school director he ought
to know. Others, and there were quite
a number of people who looked at the
phenomenon last evening, declared
that neither Mars nor Venus is able
TO make such a large and brilliant
show in the sky or TO move northward
so rapidly.
There Is nothing in the appearance
of the light to suggest an "airship."
If the light Is not natural phenom-
enon such as the planet seen under
unusual atmospheric conditions which
have the effect of increasing its ap-
parent size and brilliance, some one is
experimenting with kites or small
balloons at the Northwest Light &
Water company's power house or at
the government camps in the Tieton
canyon. That seems improbable.

not left his school days more than
