Ny Friend.

A married woman rarely makes a
good intimate friend. She is far too
apt to tell him" everything.
Beware also of woman who. re-
veals other peoples condolences to
you, including her husbands, no mat
ter how specious her reasons for so
doing.
She will probably give you away,
too, at the first opportunity. She
can't help 1t; it is a disease. And the
worst of it Is that these naughty bab-
bers are often so lovable and kind and
caressing and have such sympathic
ways that they coax our little secrets
out OF us almost before we know it.
Really, the only way to keep a
secret is not to let any one guess
that there is a secret to keep.
can picture the friend I should
most dearly treasure. She has the
art OF coming when wanted, and stay

care about visitors; she is loving,
yet never gushing; helpful, but not
officious; ready, but never in the way.
She can praise, says Home Chat,
without flattering. counsel without
advising" hear everything, and say
nothing. But such friend would
need to be lived up to, and I have
my doubts as to whether / should
sufficiently rise to the occasion.

Is County Treasurer.

Miss Gertrude Jordan, Of Valentine,
Neb., who has just been declared by
The State Supreme court to be en-
titled to the Office of treasurer OF
Cherry county, Is the first woman in
the United States to hold position
Of this kind.
The "State of Cherry" as it is
called in Nebraska, is the largest
county in the United States. II Is
ninety miles long and seventy miles
wide, and contains 100000 acres.
The northern portion borders on the
Sioux Indian reservation, where $4,000
uncivilized Sioux live a semi-nomadic
life. Cherry is largely county Of
cattle ranches, cowboys, roundups and
ranges. 1t is in the heart Of the sand
hill" county and there are still
100000 acres of government wild
land within its borders.
It was amid such surroundings and
under such conditions that Miss Jor-
dan carried on her campaign For
the most part her mode Of travel was
horseback, and during her contest
for the Office she travelled more than
nine hundred miles In this manner.
Miss Jordan is twenty-six years OF
age and for eight years had been
deputy treasurer for Cherry. Last
year she determined to become can
didate for the higher position, al
though she is a Republican and the
Office was filled by Democrat. So
she resigned and sought the nomina-
ton. In the primaries she had two
opponents and when the votes were
coanted she had almost as many as
the two combined.
Then came the campaign, and 1t
was the most Interesting contest
Cherry county ever saw. Miss Jor-
dan was just as likely as not to show
up at a Democratic blow OUT, and
she backed her opponent off the plat
form time after time. Wherever two
or more voters were gathered togeth-
or there Miss Jordan was to be found.
She rode over the country time and
again, visited almost every ranch
house, stopped few minutes at each
bunch of grazing cattle and talked
with the herders and was a visitor at
I'll the roundups.
At the election she led the ticket
and won without difficulty. But when
she went to take possession OF the
office her Opponent refused to yacate
for her, alleging that she was not
eligible to the Office.

CROW. THE FARMERS FRIEND.
With the Exception of One Month He
Works for the Rancher.

Notwithstanding crow is a much
abused bird and it is time that some
one said a good word for his old black
coat remarked DR.. C. Hart Merri-
am, chief Of the biological survey.
Instead of being an enemy of the
farmer, as is generally believed" con-
tinued DR.. Merriam, "the crow is one
of his best friends and the protector
of his crops. True, during corn plant
ing time, the crows bill is turned
against the farmer - during one
month and that month only, he is his
enemy. But the other eleven months
the crow is really working overtime
for him. It eats thousands upon
thousands Of destructive insects and
bugs every week and when It comes
TO feeding its young, gives them a di-
ct composed almost entirely Of worms
and insects that prey upon the crops.
Therefore, 1t makes me righteous
ly indignant every time I see any one
try to kill a crow. These trials, how
ever, are not very often crowned with
success, for the crow has become one
Of the wisest Of wild creatures as the
result Of hundreds of years Of perse-
cution and misunderstanding.

is the only bird that will eat the fuzzy
caterpillars which are so destructive
to many varieties Of trees. Were II
not for the woodpeckers there would
be no forests, for they go after and
keep down the enormous numbers OF
worms that attack the trees.

be glad to see destroyed in this coun'

One OF the interesting addresses OF
the present teachers convention was
the one by Prof. ]. NJ. Powers, city
superintendent Of the Salem schools
before the normal school section on
1.-THE value Of the one-year high
school normal course"
While greatly impressed with the
success which has attended the In
PRODUCTION Of the course in the Salem
and Baker City high schools, Super
Powers said the establish
ment Of the course depended some
what upon the local conditions sur
rounding the individual school. For
instance he thought the normal course
might not be necessary If a good nor
NAL school was close at hand. He
did believe. however, that II the To-
canty is far distant from a normal
school. as in some parts of Oregon,
that such a course is advisable, per-
haps necessary.
He said the course may be said TO
have the following values:
Ca) II affords the same mental
discipline as other studies.
o. Since so per cent Of all young
people marry, and since 70 per cent
OF these have children, this course
would prepare the parent for a better
understanding Of the principles and
processes Of education and enhance
the parents interest in the school.
Cc) It will prepare for better
teaching in rural schools where better
advantages are impossible, or not con-
v~eniently accessible.
Cd It may encourage many high
school students to continue and round
out their training for teaching in the
regular state normal schools.
In substantiation Of his contentious,
Superintendent Powers frequently re-
ferred to illustrations in his own
