Grangeville Citizen Honored.

|. c Hattabaugh returned home
Sunday evening from Spokane, where
he was honored by election as presi-
dent of the Inland Empire Implement
and Hardware Association, compris-
ing the territory of eastern Washing
ton and Oregon and north Idaho.
The Spokane papers refer to Mr..
Hattabaugh's election as president
and his pithy, pointed speech on that
occasion, as follows:
he palm for eloquence at the
convention was carried off by |. c..
Hattabaugh, the newly elected presi-
dent of the association, in his speech
of acceptance. Mr.. Hattabaugh is a
pioneer hardware man of the Inland
Empire, and is engaged in the imple-
ment business both in Grangeville
and Spokane, with residence at the
former place. He has always been
an enthusiastic booster for the hard
ware Dealers association, and his
election meets with the hearty ap-
proval of all the members. In his
address he spoke of the good work
already accomplished by the associa-
ton during its short history, and pre-
dicted that the scope of its usefulness
will be still greater in the future. He
also expressed the hope that the year
ly meeting of the association might be
always held in Spokane, the city that
best knew how to provide for the en-
tertainment of visitors NORTH
Idaho, ; he said, belongs to the
Inland Empire, socially, politically
and geographically, and if it were no
for political schemes and schemer,
we would be under the same state
government.

Railroad Helps Boost BY Making
improvements.
IMPROVE IDAHO AVE
Railroad Siding, Water Tank and
Lights.

If present plans are carried TO COM
pletlon, strangers visiting our city will
be most favorably impressed upon ar
rival at the Grangeville depot, and that
impression will be aCcentuated by a
drive up Idaho avenue to the business
portion of the city. Three incandes-
cent lights have been placed along
Idaho avenue to the depot by the city
and three more are soon to be added.
| his is great improvement over the
Stygan darkness which heretofore en-
compaSsed that much used thorough
fare, but it is only starter, 1t is
now being planned to macadamize
the avenue to the depot, and Agent
Bell is in communication with the
powers that be, to see if the railway
company will not make low rate on
decompoSed granite from their gravel
pits beyond Cottonwood, to boost the
good work along. The transfer men
have come nobly to the front and Of
fered fifteen days work with teams
free to the city at any time they may
be called upon.
The railroad people are not tagging
in the good work. Four electric lights
are to be put up about the depot at
the most effective points and the in
terror will also have the same lighting.
Some 1900 feet of new siding will be
put in in the near future, extending
from the Y along the south side of the
main track toward the depot, thus af-
fordlng warehouse room for our i'm
plement, hardware, and grocery deal
erS, as well as the coal dealers and
lumbermen.
The railroad well was tested
last week, the flow being 81 gallons
per minute for five hours, without
perceptible diminuton of the standing
supply. A large force of men have
been at work upon the new water
tank for almost two weeks, and will
complete it the first of next week,
the cooperage having just been COM
pleted A foundation of five feet of
concrete supports the tank, which
will be supplied with water by means
of stationary engine and pump
The signs of prosperity and pro-
gress in our little city are very encour-
aging, and may be taken as the StrawS
indicating greater things that are to
come Grangeville's way.

mother so well that she insisted on help ing with the dinner. although Mrs. Ken ney returned just before noon. And just as the last touches were given to the dinner table (Tom and May had ar ranged some winter bouquets of au- rumn leaves and grain heads) Ethel ex- cused herself from the room and ran as the family had seated themselves at the table and the father was saying: Mamma, this is your thirty-sixth birth day and we must all drink your health in this homemade elderberry wine. Owing to your having been indisposed for sev- eral days and Mrs. Kenney's absence dur ing a part of the week, we could not give you a birthday dinner as beftting as we should have loved to do. But our hearts are full of rejoicing that you are so well today and are able to sit at the table with us. But" and the good father saw Ethel at this moment approaching the table with huge white affair, glis- tening under the light of three dozen bright-colored, tiny candles. But, what's all this, daughter?"
 ''Mamma's birthday cake" said Ethel. trying to hold her voice firm. I've chil- dren got 1t up. Tom and made it while Ma did the other work. We couldn't let the day go by without one"
 And tears of surprise and joy sprang into the proud mothers eyes as she kissed ten6erly each of her children on her happy, happy birthday.

next morning. But the little lady had no Idea that the making of huge cake would require so much careful work. She had to call in Tom to assist at beat Ing the eggs. Oh, what lot of beating and sitting and mixing 1t took. But Ethel followed the cook book instructions carefully, and after two hours of hard and anxious work she was most happy to see before her on the table three great layers of light. white cake. But making the icing proved to be even more of an art than the mixing and baking of the cake, and poor little Ethel spent most of the afternoon experimenting with sugar and the whites of eggs. But after the third trial there is q saying that the third time is charm') she got fine, smooth icing which lay over the cake like a coating of glistening snow. "Ah, all ready for the candles, after 1t has set in the cellar over night!' This was Ethel's happy verdict as she stood looking at the beautiful birthday cake. And Tom and May made frequent visits to the tempo rary bakery to view the mountain of con- lection that was Ethels handiwork. Its a beautr' declared Tom. Hope it tastes half as good as 1t looks"
 "Yes. and In the very center of 1t is a dear little gold brooch that papa got for mamma's birthday gift" said Ette .'I stuck it in the middle layer after it was cooled. Mamma will come to 1t when cutting the cake"
 And the next day found the dear

 The girls were washing and drying the dinner dishes. for that part of the house. work was theirs when at home. They soon had completed their task and to- gether ran upstairs to Ethels room. There Ethel drew from a hiding place in her closet small pastebonrd box. which she opened. Inside the box Mays eyes fell on, three dozen tiny wax candles red, white and blue "Oh. what are they for?' the little girl inquired in a voice of admiration.
 ''l had intended asking Mrs Kenney 10 bake huge cake for mammas birth day, and to place these candles on it., explained Ethel But now I fear we'll have to wait till another birthday. And ever since 1 can remember mamma has baked birthday cakes for you, Tom. and me. And never since I can remember has she. dear one, had birthday cake So, this was to be my surprise for her this year" And Ethel's face was sor- rowful in her disappointment.

Child Life in Morocco

Teacher and pupils squat. cross-egged. on the floor, and the former repeats in slow monotone the lessons. his pupils re- beating after him in the same slow mono tone. In one hand the teacher holds good, keen switch with which to recall the wandering attention of any boy who may turn his eyes from his board.
 On Wednesday and Friday there is half holiday. Friday Is the Mohammedan Sabbath, and the forenoon Is very strictly observed.
 The majority of the boys are expected to become self-supporting at the age of fourteen, and are through with their schooling by that time. They are often put to work earlier-as young as twelve. and one frequently sees a little Moorish lad conducting a shop In his fathers ab- sence And fine bargain-driyers they are, too.
 There is little or no attention paid to the children during their tender years,. and they roll about in the filthy streets GOT courts with mangey dogs, their eyes running, and disgusting sores on their poor little unkept heads In fact. ono could not imagine a more unwholesome
 
 both of the lower and upper classes. All alike are neglected morally and physic- ally. The boys suffer less from scalp dis eases on account of the prevailing style of shaving their heads. but the little girls are rarely free from some disgust' ing cutaneous disorder. their hair being heavy and abundant.
 Although not pertaining to the Moorish chld-life. 1t may be interesting to say something about the peculiar medicinal remedies used by the people of Morocco. A favorite remedy is hyena's head pow der. Another is dried bone and flesh; anu still another consists of dried ants pre- pared in various ways. The last men toned is given for lethargy or chronic laziness Lions 1esh--dried-is admins tered for cowardce Chameeons, split open alive, and spread with honey, are recommended for wounds and Sores. The fumes from the burning body of an anl- nal are inhaled for certain throat and chest troubles.
 A child may buy without question such poisons as corrosive sublimate and ar senic from any of the shopkeepers, and this accounts for the numerous murders by poison one hears of within the home circle. It Is not unusual for Jealous wife to put out of her way a rival wife; also for an abused stepchid to 'get even" with the hated stepmother by fixing" her a cup of tea. Many of the Moorish husbands have servant to taste their food and drink before putting 1t to their own mouths, though it is rare to hear of the lord of a family suffering from poison administered in his "cup of tea" The risk is too great a one for neglected wife or disfavored child, and, however much they may feel tempted to give the cruel lord his last drink, they fear to do so. As they have no sense of honor or morality it is only fear which holds them in check.

 I'm going to try one" declared Ethel. Its got to be done sometime. farm CTS daughter should know how to do all things. Pm old enough to know how to bake a cake, and I'm going to learn on mammals birthday cake" There was determination in the little girls voice and eyes. "I shall bake 1t tomorrow fore noon and set It in the cellar over night to get nice md cool and ready for cut ting. I'll go by our cook book"
 And I'll help your cried May. Put on second thought, I'd better take charge of the morning work and then look after dinner and let you have the cake-making to yourself, all undisturbed. And, of course, mamma will be up tomorrow and will insist on going into the kitchen to lend a suggestion as to the dinner and supper, for you know there are the farm hands to feed, birthday or no birthday. And how shall we manage to keep the cake baking from mammar'
 Well, I'll go to the washhouse and bake the cake there" said Ethel. Mrs. Kenney declares the oven of the wash house stove bakes more evenly than that of the kitchen range. You know she did all her baking there last week. I'll slip the flour, eggs, sugar, butter-every thing I shall need for the cake-out to the wnshhouse tonight. And mammall never suspect. We'll make her believe that 1 am there finishing some preserves Mrs. kenney had to leave undone. Afterward we'll tell her the whole story"
 So the plan worked and Ethel had everything at hand in the washhouse tue

 He's gone into the barn to fetch out Swiftly" said Hannah, her voice shaking with emotion. "I tried to persuade him not to do it, but he paid no attention to me. He said the barn would be in ashes before the department could get here and that he must save his pony. He wrapped himself in wet blanket and carried an- other wet blanket into the stable. Oh, why don't he come out? He's been in there for two or three minutesI"

 Ethel Downs was the speaker and she was addressing her sister May. little miss of 12 Ethel was n year older.
 Well, we've done the housework often In the absence of a servant, when man. 1na was in,'' said May. And why shouldn't we buckle down-as brother Tom says-and do 1t again? Mrs. Ken ney will probably be with us again In day or two. And do hope mamma won't be sick long. The doctor said this morning that she'll be up tomorrow, but that she won't be strong enough to look after the house. So it remains for you and me to look after the kitchen. We will have to miss few days of school.
