 There are not many authors whose work is woven with such eveness and continuity that no word will be willingly missed. Miss Sinclair is one of that mi nority.

We are glad to see the Lewis
county farmers prosper. A trip to
the home Of VIM. Mitchell. about
four miles north of Nezperce shows
what can be done by little labor.
His location for a home is an ideal
one, nesting in a small valley where
be is protected from the winds and
cold. His barns are large and han
dy for feeding a large number Of
cattle and horses and We noticed
thath had the cattle in abundance
His house is a well built nine-room
with porches in front and
rear. We noticed that ne has a.
system of water works which sup
plies the kitchen, wash room and
bath The house is furnished tasti-.
~; a piano is one Of the comforts
provided for his children. All Of
Lhease things aresthe fruit of labor
and a productive soil. Our advice
IS, buy a farm in Lewis county and
make it produce the comforts and
unries Of life.

Eient is worthy Of the cooperation
Of eyery citizen. Il is intended that
the planter Of agricultural seeds IN

exactly what he is planting. Without
any cost to himself he has now an
opportunity to know the correct
name Of his seeds, the amount Of the
impurities. if any, the names Of the
foreign seeds and the per cent Of
seeds capable Of termination. To
the farmer especially should this
mean much. He knows well the
strenuous means of eradication neces-
sary TO rid his farm ofcertain weeds.
However. in the past many farmers
have bought and planted whatever
seeds their merchants offered them
regardless Of purity. For example.
one dealer in NJ ehigan sold some
clover seed which vas about 40 per
cent. Narrow-leaved Plantain. This
weed is a vile pest and it has already

CURIOUS ESKIMO LIVING.
The Pallet Rooms In Homes Entirely
Devoid of Furniture.


Furniture is quite unknown in a
common Eskimo home," writes the
wife of the Danish governor Of Green
land, Anna Bistrup, in an article on
Eskimo Women In Greeland" in the
Century.
''The houses Of the Eskimos are all
built of stone and turf, with the win
dows opening toward the sun, the one
entrance always being on the side that
is least exposed to the wind. Along
the back wall runs a platform, pallet
of boards, raised eighteen inches above
the floor. It is from six to eight feet
deep, and through it's whole length it
is divided into rooms or spaces Of
eight or ten feet. Each room is sepa-
rated from the neighboring room by a
partition of board or skin. An open
passage runs the whole length Of the
house along the pallet rooms and
serves for the traffic Of all the inmates,
but each pallet room claims for it's
own the bit of passageway adjoining
Each pallet room is occupied by one
family, and there they stay night and
day. The best pallet room is the in
nermost and is always occupied by the
owner of the house or the oldest if the
house has more than one owner"

AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE.
Il Made Remarkable Scene In tho
House Of Representatives.


House Of Representatives..
A touching scene occurred in the
house of representatives a number of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. All eyes
were turned in his direction as he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall, spare and erect. His vener-
able appearance and kindly expression,
coupled with most courteous manners,
at once commanded attention.
AS in husky tones he again said
"Mr. Speaker there came from the
farthest end of the great hall in a
whisper, but distinctly heard by all,
the words. Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor
and gallery many voices blended in
the familiar refrain, Don't you re-
member sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
Of the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives Of all
parties and sections. 1t was an inspir-
ing tribute, one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng
lish, author of the little poem, sung in
palace and cottage, which found its
way into all languages and touched all
hearts.-Adlai E. Stevenson in "Some-
thing Of Men I Have Known"
