Got the Wrong Door.

They were newly married, and on
a honeymoon trip. The bridegroom
felt indisposed, and the bride said
she would slip out and do a little
shopping. In due time she returned
and tripped blithely up to her room,
and little awed by the number of
doors that looked alike. But she
was sure of her own and tapped
gently on the panel.
''I'm back, honey, let me in" she
whispered.
No answer.
"Honey, honey, let me I'M" she
called again, rapping louder. Still no
answer.
Honey, honey, it's Alice. Let
me in" she whispered.
There was silence and still no
answer. After several seconds; then
a mans voice, cold and full of dig
nifty, came from the other side of the
door.
Madam, this is not beehive; it's
bath room. Human Life.

Exchange Notes.

An unknown exchange asks the
following questions: "Why is it that
nearly evrybody who attends church
likes to sit in the end of the seat
and hang onto it like grim death and
every person who gets a berth in that
pew must stumble over them?" Well.
we confess we do that sort of thing.
1t is to get out in case of fire-we
sinners are quite strongly reminded
of fire, flames and birthstone that Is
pursuing us, and we can't tell just
exactly when it is going to come. We
want to be in good position to
make quick get away.
A woman writer who is an expert
on the subject declares homework
gives woman a beautiful figure and
peaches and cream complexion, Cut
the above out and paste it on your
wife's mirror. 1t may also improve
your figure-at the bank.
A New Jersey preacher says the
merry Widow" hat is making back
slfders in his church, but to the lay
man it would look as though it
should send the backsliders up in
front.

and that the work the government
is trying to do properly belongs to
the state.
| have a high regard for the chief
forester. He is trying to do a great
work that must be done, but it never
would be successful until the states
are made interested parties in the
development of their own resources.
l know of no reason why the states
should not be interested with the,
protection and development of all
the natural resources that lie within
their borders. The west is not lack
ing in intelligence, in courage, or in
patriotism, or in appreciation of the
marvellous resources that kind Pro-
violence has given us with so gener-
Gus hand. Idaho is asking for an
opportunity to develop her own re-
sources. We desire the assistance
of teh general government, not it's
guardianship. Idaho is asking for
the same spirit of the constitution
that has been given to all the states
east of the Rockies and her citizens
will demonstrate to the whole world
that she is worthy of Statehood

Every contractor and carpenter in
Filler is busy.
The Townsite company sold this
week, through the Ripley Bros. real
estate agency, two lots on the corner
of Main street and. Yakima avenue,
to Albert Timm of Michigan. Mr..
Timm is one of the many strangers
who have been thronging Filler since
the opening of the Salmon river pro-
ject and 1t is his intention to erect
in the near future large two story
building for the purpose of conduct
ing general mercantile business.
The lots purchased by him are con-
sidered one of the best locations in
the town as they are directly oppo-
site the Idaho Store company build

GOVERNOR GOODING'S ADDRESS

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Delaware and the Dis
trict of Columbia In all the ma
tional forest reserves in the United
States we have an area almost as
great as was embraced within the
reserves which extend from the bor-
ders of Mexico on the south to the
British possessions on the north. The
varied conditions that of necessity
exist over this vast extent of terri
tory make 1t impracticable, in my
judgment, to accomplish the best re-
suits by it's administration here in
Washington.
The man is not yet born who can
prescribe rules and regulations for
the successful administration of so
vast a territory as this, for in no
two states in the Union rae condi-
lions the same. What might be prac-
tical in one state might be ruinous in
another. have seen much of the adj

Only a "College Prank"

Cook, the Columbia college stu
dent who was shot by New York
policeman while running away to
avoid arrest for attempted burglary,
is getting a lot of sympathy on the
ground that he was "only playing a
college prank" In his statement
Cook says:
eve were passing the little lunch
stand and | suggested that we break
into the place and take some candy
1t was all in spirit of fun. I dom
know what made us do tive did
not consider we were doing anything
wrong" &yc
Burglarizing a lunch stand owned
by a poor man, damaging and de-
stroying the property of one to whom
the loss might be serious blow, and
yet the college students did not con-
slider they were doing anything
wrong" so long as they were ami
mated by spirit of fun" OF course
an illiterate street Arab who, ami
mated by the spirit of hunger, broke
into a lunch stand would be Grim
inal, especially as he could not plead
that what he did was "only a stu
dents prank. Freeman.

to attend to household matters.
Nothing is left to the women but
social duties.
Beyond reading novel occasion
ally, embroidering bit and strum-
ming the piano trifle, these women
do absolutely nothing toward cult
waiting their minds and developing
themselves. Naturally they soon have
exhausted cheerful topics and turn
to discussing their neighbors for the
lack of something better to do.
Every man, woman and child
should have an aim in life. No mat
ter how humble or how glorious the
ideal, 1t should be set upon a mental
altar and divine honors paid to it.
Without definite aim in life a man
is worse than useless. He is drug
on the market and detriment to
posterity. The man who accomplishes
something, the man who is leader,
the man who has friends is the man
who sets up a standard for himself
and constantly labors to measure up
to it.
The man with an aim is never idle,
work for, something to accomplish.
He is benefit to society. In work.
ing he forgets himself and becomes
altrustic, giving as much or more
than he takes.
Aims are as various as persons.
With men an aim may be to excel as
a farmer, mechanic, or scholar.
1t may be to develop musical or ar
tistic talent. 1t may be to build
better fence than the other fellow.
Whatever the aim, so long as the
person is fitted to that thing, it is
well. With a heart back of work
ing brain the occupation, however
lowly, cannot but be lifted up and
ennobled. There is no room for the
petty and degenerating there.
With women, the need of such an
aim is imperative. No matter how
magnificent woman's home, or how
exquisitely beautiful and graceful
she may be, she is spoiled for her
friends if she is idle.
The greatest object in life for wo-
man is the making of happy home
and the rearing from childhood of at
least one good man or woman. In
all America this home making is a
lost art to at least two-thirds of the
women. There is no more heart-sat-
isfying field than this. The woman
who labors until she finds the secret
of happy home-making has ennobled
herself beyond measure. She will
no longer descend to criticize her
neigh bors. She will rather pity and
help. She will no longer be filled
with envy and discomfort. Home in
terests will create for her salts
flying world.

JUDGE SKEGGS
 ANSWERS CRITICS

Decatur April 30.-(Special )-Probate Judge William F. Skeggs has just is sued public communication as an an- swer to the criticisms which were ren- dered against him by the grand jury of the county, which adjourned last Sat urday. In their final report the grand jury charged Judge Skeggs with negli- gence in allowing the Morgan county jail to go unrepaired.
 The report of the grand jury said that there was no safe place in the jail in which to keep white prisoners unless they were confined in the cages with negroes and recommended that these re- pairs be made and that white prisoners be taken to some other jail until this was done. The report also charged Sher- if Thomas R. Shipp with negligence in allowing prisoners to escape from the jail. It was one of the most caustic re- ports ever rendered bys a Morgan coun- ty jury and it's publication created quite a sensation among the citizens of the De- caturs and of the county generally, as well as to the outside world.
 Judge SkegBs saAs that neither he nor the county commissioners are in any way responsible for the escape of prisoners and that they should not be criticised for these escapes.
