 My tree has fallen, the tree of my House, which stood from the begin ming of the world, has fallen, but that of Eddo still stands,'' and she pointed to another giant of the forest that scared up, unharmed, at little dis tance. "Nya's tree has fallen-Eddo'S s tree still stands. His magic has pre- vailed against me, his magic has pre- vailed against mel"
 As she spoke man appeared scram- bling along the bOle towards them; it was Eddo himself. His round eyes shown, on. his pale face there was a look of triumph, for whoever might be lost, the danger had passed him by.
 *tNya" he piped. tapping her on the shoulder, thy Ghost has deserted thee, old woman, thy tree is down. See spit upon it,' and he did so. Thou are no longer Mother of the Trees, thou art only the old woman Nya. The Ghost people, the Dream people, the Grey people. have 8 new queen, and I am her minister, for I rule her Spir- it.

Give death to this old woman, the Red Death, that her spirit may be split with her blood, and lost for ever. Give it to her with that spear in thy hand, while I hide my eyes, and reign thou in her place through me-" and he bowed his head and waited.
 .'Not the Red Death, not the Red Death,' walled Nya. "Give me the White Death and save my soul, Beau tiful One, and in return I will give thee something that thou desirest, who am still the wisest of them all, all though my Tree is down."
 Noie whispered for while in Rach- els ear. Then while all the dwarf people gathered beneath them, watch ing, Rachel bent forward and putting her arms about the trembling creat- ure, lifted her up as though she were a child, and held her to her bosom.
 Mother" she said, 'I give thee no death, red or white, I give thee love. Thy tree is down, sit thou in my shad- ow and be safe. On him who harms thee"-and she looked at Eddo-"on him shall the Red Death fall.

The Harmony
 of Home Does Not Mingle With or Emanate from the Table
 of Dyspepsia

In the home, meal time should awaken in all the inhabitants a pecu- liar harmony of joy which will make for the home the abiding place of in- terest and happiness.
 If one member at the dinner table is out of sorts, his influence is felt and the harmony is lacking. Conversation and mirth are absent. Devouring thoughts assail the diners and silence prevails.

The principal owners Of this new en-
terprise were interested in the Trade
Dollar Mining and Milling company at
Silver City, and owned the Swan Falls
power plant, wnoIc the electric energy
for the road was procured.
This road today has thirty-sevcn and
rtenths miles of trackage, sixty
pound steel being laid, and-since last
May-an hourly passenger service has
been pursued with great regularity over
this splendidly equipped interurban
line of road. This passenger service
is maintained from 6;30 in the morn
ing until 10 o'clock each evening, and
in addition, freight service each way
daily.
Early III the history of the road
tract of land consisting of ls2 acres
was purchased four and ona.half miles
below Boise for a park, An artificial
lake was built and the natural heavy
growth Of old trees surrounding it
made IT. an ideal place for the busy
city people of Boise and Caldwell and
intermediate points to spend the warm
summer evenings. This was approx
mately named "Pierce park - This
lake has a shore line of approximately
quarter of a mile, and in the park,
lng pavilion. The company keeps "open
house, at this park for about three
months out of the year, June, July and
August.
This road furnished the first prac-
teal object lesson TO the people of this
new state of the intrinsic value of an
electric line TO n farming community
AT convenient places along its route,
live, active towns have sprung up, and
