grass And it came to pass that they
who stood guard upon the portals, did
look thence, and they beheld a large
six shooter-mueh larger than mans
hand-approaching rapidly; and the
name of him that walked Immediately
behind the six shooter was Davis. And
the rest If it may be taken with iTn-
punity from the Book of Revelations
where itstellS in short, terSe words, just
what followed.
Two years ago, after thinking it over
about 20 years, Mr.. Davis decided to
visit the legislature once more. But.
instead of bringing his six shooter, he
brought a line OF talk which was just
as effective. He made good from the
first, and soon demonstrated his ability
as a leader. He is rated among the
ablest speakers on the floor of the
house, and while he opposes many pet
administration measures, he does not
slam a thing of merit just because 1T
bears the Stubs brand.
During this first part of the present
session, Mr.. Davis has been aft1icted
with sore throat, but, although his
neck is sore, no one, up to date, has
been able to bend it.
Out in Idaho the papers are having
a lot of fun over burlesque Sunday
Rest law recently introduced in the
Idaho legislature. The bill in question
provides that on the first day Of the
week, commonly called Sunday, it shall
be unlawful for any person to keep
open any place of business, not even
excepting hotels, drug stores, railroad
stations or telephone offices; no means
of transportation shall be operated on
that day; no person shall appear upon
the street for any purpose except to go
to church, and every person must at
tend church at least twice on that day.
All fowls and animals must fed enough
on Saturday night to last them until
Monday, and no person shall eat any
thing on Sunday; conversation must be
subdued, and relative to religious sub
jects; in going to and from church, a
single file formation must be maintain
ed, to prevent any fellow from walking
with his girl-and SO on. When this
joker was read in the Idaho house, one
newspaper modestly admits, the house
was "convlused with laughter 1t was
considered such a good joke that the
papers printed the bill in full under a
two-column head. and tried to send it
out over the A. P. wires. 1t was so
Awfully Funny.
And here is the proper place to call
Idaho good and hard: Idaho feels smart
over the introduction of that bill. while
admitting that it was introduced as
joke We of Kansas would proudly
point out that in our legislature. bills
Of like nature. but lots funnier, have
been introduced in dead earnest.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

! In a speech the other day, 1 heard the
dean of large college for women quote
a verse from her autograph album, and
| a sudden sense of tender regret swept
| over me as if 1 had heard reference to
| a dead friend.
Where are the autograph albums Of
yesteryear?
! Well, that's not so hard to answer
after all. They're slowed away in the
big black trunk. packed between vel
lowing letters of dubious photography
but stately diction, and rambling
| too busy to live.
But where are the autograph albums
of today?
| That's harder to answer.
| Are they entirely missing quantity?
l am afraid So When was the last
time you were asked to write your
name and an appropriate sentiment in
some school girls album, as you so fire.
quently were asked in the good old
| times?'' Myself I cannot remember.
And I'm sorry think the autograph
album is far too quaint and sweet
custom to let the vandal twentieth CEN
fury deprive US of it.
! An old school friend of my mothers
visited US last fall. They were talking
of school days and the question came
up as to the maiden name of one of the
girls.
~ know where to find it, said my
mother.
SO out of the big black trunk from
between the yellowing letters and the
rambling diary, she fetched her auto
| graph album. And by its spell we
| straightway had two laughing, chatter
in9 school girls instead of two white
haired grandmothers in the house.
How they poured over the thick,
white leaves with their gilt edges and
their stately or sentimental messages.
This one bore the gentle adnonition-
BE good, sweet maid, and let who will
! be clever,
Do noble things, not dream them all
day long,
And thus make life and death and the
vast forever
! One grand sweet song" III
| Another gave the familiar advice
ITO thine own self be. true,
And it shall follow as the night the day
Thou canst not then be false to any
man.
This heartbroken lament adorned an
other
ITO meet. to know. to love. and then
to part,
Is the sad tale of many school girls
| heart"
My mothers guest found her own sig
nature under this wish
| May peace attend your future hours,
May love your pathway strew with
flowers,
And may you always have a friend
True as the one who these lines PEN
ned
How they chartered and laughed and
| recalled this or that good time. and
grew grave over the name of the girl
for whom as for Sweet Alice, they
have fitted a slab of the granite so
gray" and laughed, even while the
tears stood in their eyes, at the senti-
| mental
| 1.-THE rose is red. the violet's blue,
Sugar is sweet and so are you"
of some hopeless smitten youth who has
since married twice and had several
children
Isn't it rather a pity that our chill
dren should have no such treasure TO
fetch out of the black trunk from be-
tween yellowihg letters and rambling
diaries?
Why not try to revive the old custom
by giving your little boy or girl inter-
est in the gift by showing it to them
and telling them some stories of the
days when father and mother and some
of the other grown-up folks they know
were boys and girls?
