ance, hut Pauline saw an amused
smile playing on her proud lips us
She turned her head away. But to-
day Pauline did not mind the cut.
and when about to pass Grace she
said In a friendly voice:
Grace. l am sorry to discover such
a weakness In you, l used to have
a great deal of admiration for you,
and It hurts me to find you so un-
worthy"
Grace merely lifted her head in the
air. glanced at Pauline as though
she were some insolent street beg
gar. and passed on.
And SO the time wore away, and
Pauline found herself quite happy in
spite OF their changed conditions. She
was so busy all day helping her moth
er, practicIng her music (Which she
did not neglect even though she did
not have an instructor). and reading
and chatting to the old man. But.
there seemed to be something on the
old mans mind. for so often when
Pauline was reading to him he would
stop her in the middle of n sentence
TO ask her to go over the passage
again. Then, he had not paid his
board. except for the first week. and
twice he had borrowed small sums
from Pauline, who had gladly loaned
to him what little money she had
saved toward some sheet music that
she wished so much to buy.
One afternoon Pauline was reading
to the Old Man In the library. Sud
denly he put out his hand and stopped
her. Then he said:
Pauline. what would Won and your
mother do We're / not to find the mon
ey to pay my board? Would you
turn me out? Speak plainly. for I
must know the truth-and at once.
Pauline laid aside her book and
drew her chair close to the OF Man.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY.
SATURDAY. JAN. IS, 1908
STANDPOINT STATE CONVENTION

Hon. James H. Brady, Chairman
OF the Republican state central
committee, has announced that he
will call the committee together at
an early date. The committee will
arrange for two state conventions
and fix the number of delegates to
which each county is entitled. 1t
will also fix the time when and
select the place where each conven-
ton is to be held. 1t has been
customary, in presidential wears,
to hold one convention in North
Idaho and one in South Idaho,
and this equitable arrangement
will no doubt be made again this
year. In this connection the
Boomers Ferry HERALD desires to
propose Standpoint, the capitol of
Bonner County, as the place for
holding one Of these conventions.
Standpoint possesses all the re-
requirements of a state convention
city. 1t has splendid hotel accom-
modations, and the Rink is said to
be large enough to hold all the dele
gates and all the rooters, and then
some. Delegates from South Ida
no will find at Standpoint bigger
and better town than were those
other towns where they met in
North Idaho in previous years. 1t
is modern town, located on the
shores of the magnificent Pend d.
Oreille, and amid the most pictur-
esque scenery in the world, and
populated by a people noted for
their progress and enterprise.
At Standpoint the delegates
would see one of the largest lnmber
plants in thee world in operation
and hear the hum of the wheels of
industry that Republican policies
are advocated to promote.
Three great transcontinental
railway lines pass through Sand
point, and sixteen passenger trains
arrive and depart daily, so that no
town in the state has better rail
ROAD facilities.
The people of Bonner County
want one of the state conventions.
They want the rest of the state to
know more about this young giant
of counties, born last March but
already fourth or fifth in wealth in
the state. 1t will be glory enough
for Boomers Ferry and other towns
of the county to have the conven-
: ton come to Bonner County, to
the real North Idaho. No state
convention of either party has ever
been held in this part of the state.
The position of Standpoint is
strong and if her claims are as
strongly presented and urged, the
conclusions of the committee will
be irresistible, and Standpoint will
be one Of the convention cites.
