Pointer for Husbands.

When you have married your wife,
you would think you we're got upon a
hilltop, and might begin to go down
ward by an easy slope. But you have
only ended courting to begin mar
riage. Failing in love and winning
love are often difficult tasks to over
bearing and rebellious spirits; but TO
keep IN love Is also business of some
Importance. TO which both man and
wife must bring Kindness and good

able ideal. Unattainable? Aye, surely
unattainable, from the very fact that

The choice of Hamer for congress by
the Boise convention was perhaps sur
prise to many, but it was not made at the
dictation of any but the delegates them
selves, He is not unknown, however,
for his qualifications have been more
than once demonstrated. He has proven
himself a soldier with ability to com
mand and an orator who holds the at
tention of his audiences. During the
Spanish war he was appointed provost
Judge of Manila and was later made
military governor of the island of Cebu
His ancestry is one of military and naval
distinction and he has maintained the
heritage passed down to him. His
speeches have become famous for their
brilliancy. and in congress he should
more than meet the requirements of a
state which is forging ahead into the
foremost ranks of the American sister
hood.

4 Little Comparison Who Makes the
School Room BRIGHT,

terror to your vacation loving soul. 1t
seemed as if all joy had gone forever.
But you forgot all that when your eyes
strayed across the room. Prim, berib-
boned heads bent with studious affec.
tatiOn over books. Demure eyes stole
sidewise chances in your direction.
You regarded them impersonally until
there came the one thrilling, fleeing
flash of brown eyes for which you had
been waiting. Blushing deeply, you
turned to lose yourself in life's serious
business.
: On your way home, by the merest
chance. you found your footsteps beat
ing slow cadence with hers. Awk-
wardly you tried TO conceal the delight
of this almost forgotten joy. Once
more life was bright with their irri-
descent glamour of youth. The call
of the river was lost among the dim,
unregretted memories of the past.
