With the Tide.

Drift little boat, with the ebbing tide;
The work-a-day world is DER!
Drift, little boat will never 60
back;
Pain lurketh there on the shore.
Drift, little boat; have toiled in
vain;
Y Now | will go with the tide
No more to strive 'gainst a merciless
fate, ...
With Sorrow, sad-faced bride.
Drift, little boat; the battle was long.
| dreamed of conquest in vain;
And never friendly hand reached to
give
Succor from danger and pain.
Drift, little boat, while | lie and rest;
For yesterday Sorrow died s---
Life was too cruel, the battle too
strong;
Now l will go with the tide.

The Woman's Club of Mackay met
at the home of Mrs. Morgan, April
10th. Forestry was thoroughly dis
cussed, articles being read on for
estry as it is; and has existed in
Germany and other countries. We
felt that our country had been too
busy to attend to matter of great
Importance to the country at large
and to every individual home of a
beloved land.
All who had not realized the i'm
portance of this new work for the
public good felt that the time had
come for active work, and that lost
time should be made up to our coun-,
try by greater activity in the future.
The subject of local option was
presented by M. A. Trego and all
present agreed that it should be act
ed upon at once. The meeting closed
with very pleasing social chat and
plans for our coming convention
which is looked forward to with
pleasing anticipation.

THE PORTIA CLUB.

This week the Portia Club has had
neat waste receptacles placed on the
corners of the principal streets of
Payette, and members of the club
hope that everyone will use them so
that clean streets will take the place
of streets Uttered with papers and
trash.
The club has adopted a novel plan
to raise money to buy and establish
a public drinking fountain for the
city. They already have this fund
substantially under way but to raise
the necessary amount they have es-
tablished sort of an aid or an infor-
nation bureau where aid and infor-
nation of all sorts may be acquired
for the sum of ten cents and on the
ten cent plan they hope to raise this
fund, each member is given special
ty and must earn one dollar and re-
port her experience at the June social.
The club is also taking up the mat
ter of improving and identifying the
cemetery and there will be meeting
of lot owners to consider plans held
at the Elite opera house, Saturday
April 25th.

COLUMBIAN CLUB REPORT.
BY Mrs. James G Green, Chairman
Press Committee.

BY Mrs. James G Green, Chairman
Press Committee.
Colubian club women can be
grave as well as gay; and while an
onlooker at the recent annual lunch
con might have thought them better
fitted to shine socially than engage
in deliberations of state and affairs
of municipal interest, glimpse over
the earnest assembly at the last BUSH
ness meeting of the club might well
have received assurance of strength
sufficient to meet any question of
vital significance.
Two very important issues were to
be disposed of at that particular ses-
sion; and the rare dignity and de
corumj which characterized the pro-
ceedings, the courteous and consider
ate attitude assumed by each speak
er, was an admirable example of a
representative body of women intel
ligently managing matters of import
The first subject coming up for
discussion was that of the park
proposition.
This was introduced by Mrs. Hal
weston of the civic department as a
special order of business, warmly sec
onded by Mrs. Green of the same
committee. A very clear, forcible
argument in favor Of the proposed
purchase by the city of the natural
park site adjoining the Julia Davis
park, which would aid in continu-
uing the line of parks around the
city, was made by Mr.. Booth, former
ly of the city council. Mr.. Booth
acted for Mr.. Carlson, park commit
teeman of the council, as the latter
was out of town. Mayor Haines be-
ing present, was called upon and
responded in short address along
the same line, giving concise and
business-like outline of the plans
contemplated in the matter of ex-
tending and making beautiful the
new park. Both gentlemen were
listened to with the closest attention
after which several well timed
speeches, each breathing true civic
spirit, were made by interested mem
bers. The club voted to endorse the
park proposition as submitted
After the report from standing
committees had been heard, the
question of local option was taken
up and given an earnest and thought
full consideration; the club finally de-
Gliding it would not be wise to en-
dorse it at present as a club bill.
The club also offered by vote a
prize of five dollars for the best es-
say on civil service reform written
by pupil of the High school

associates could tell by his excited and disguised
manner if he bad visited the White House that day
