THE BLESSED PAIR.


There was a young woman without an,
mother
Or father or sister or aunty or brother
Who met a young man in her owl
walk n station,
Who had. l am told, not a single rela.
ton.
This motherless maid and this father
less fellow
Went counting each other. and life
seemed all mellow
And sweet, TOR they had to please only
each other,
And not any aunty or father or mother.
II love you" he said. and he never
diluted
His love with the hope that his father
was suited;
Il love you, she said, and she added
nc other
Remark about hoping he'd please her
dear mother.
And love seemed to smile on the whole
of their wooing,
For they passed no stand of relations
reviewing.
They wanted each other and not some
d dozens
OF uncles and aunties and parents and
cousins.
And these kinless youngsters, pray note
we the moral,
Were married without having had a
real quarrel.
They were not distinguished or wealthy
or clever,
But, oh, they were happy for ever
and everl

Plain and dotted silks combine TO
make many of the smartest gowns

lions that are Joined under the tucks.
In this case, the center-front section
and the wide trimming bands are of
contrasting material, but a totally diff

the trimming of banding or applique
OF something similar. If a still more
dressy costume is wanted, the skirt
can be made long. and various ma
terials could be utilized. Marquisette
or lightweight wolfe with satin would
make an exceedingly effective gown;
crepe de hin with satin or with vel
vet would be Handsome; messaline is
greatly liked, and combines prettily
with figured material or with velvet.
The waist is unlined, as are most of
those made In such style, and in this
instance Is Joined to the skirt by
means of a belt. making a semi
princess gown; but the two are quite
separate, and can be finished p
rately, If preferred.

initials of both the man and his 1ancee,

be engraved on the inside of the ring.
The period of engagement is a time
Of test. For this reason, some persons
advocate a fairly long engagement, but
as this is not a matter of etiquette, l
think 1t is safest not to offer any ad-
vice on this point.
1t is a matter which must be settled
by the young couple and their parents.
An engaged girl should be very care
full what gifts she accepts from her
iance. Until they are married young
people should only give each other arti-
cles which, If anything should make 1t
necessary to break the engagement,
may be returned to the giver, says the
writer In the Philadelphia Press.
A chaperone is still necessary on
many occasions. Just because a girl
and man are engaged does not make it
correct for them to do much more than
the average young person who Is not
engaged.
Dignity is necessary at all times, and
any display of their love for n an
other in public is distinctly bad form.

the early history and development,
not only of theeas tern Oregon coun-
try, but of the whole state.
FIRST settlers, Present.
One very unusual feature marked
the occasion, it being the gathering
of three unique characters. who took
an important part in the states early
history. They were the guests of
honor and clearly entitled to the ho-
mage paid them. The trio consi sted
of William II Packwood, Sr., David
5. L!ttlefield. both of Baker, and
John HALEY of Bose, Idaho. Mr.
Packwood, who is wei past so years
of age. as are the other two. was a
member of the first legislature of Or
egon and one of the trainers and
signers of the const ttution, that ad-
Vanced the commonwealth TO the dig
nifty of statehood. Bent with years,
yet his mind as keen as ever. he takes
as much interest in the affairs of
oregon as he did when he was a
young man.
David $. L'ttlefield, a slight old
man, is the last surviving member of
the party that discovered gold in
eastern oregon, the man whose pick
first uncovered the precious metal at
Griffin's gulch and unlocked the
Storehouse of nature, which has since
yielded millions in wealth. John
Haley, pioneer stage driver, historian
and author, won fame as the proprie-
tor of the state line from Kelton,
Utah. to Umatilla Landing, on the
Columbia, in the days when the only
law was the steady arm. Later he
was proprietor of the stage line op-
Grating between Boise and Walla wal
"a, when the old Overland hotel in the
former city was the only public
house within radius of several hun
dred miles. He is now librarian and
secretary of the Idaho Historical So
ciety, and one of the interesting fig
ures of the Idaho capital. The re-
minescences of the three were inter
esting indeed With their heads to-
gether they spent every available mi

all had shared, and recalling the his.

.PROGRESS|VES IN
NEW ENGLAND STATES

Washington, D. c., Dec. 29.-Thls
week has been a notable week in the
history of the Progressive Republican
movement. For the Progressive Re
publicans invaded New England,
making their first demonstration In
that stronghold of conservation, Bos-
ton. AS result of this invasion, the
New England papers are full of com
ment upon recent events. This COM
ment is not unmixed with confusion
because hitherto progressiveness. and
insurgency have been mere names to
New England and when the pheno-
menon appeared close at hand she
did not know what to make of 1t.
The hopelessly reactionary news
papers were able to see in the big
meeting which was addressed by

Baker stands today. Reduced in
numbers by the privations of the hard
journey after leaving Fort Boise, the
little band came oul IN the broad val
ley having fol owed Burnt river from
the point where 1t enters into the
Snake, after following the tortuous
wndings of the latter stream as far
as the impossible box canyon below
the present te of the town of Home
stead and having been compelled to
turn back
Named Powder Valley.
Where sutton creek, which stream
they followed from the headwaters OF
Burnt river, empties into the strsam
in this valley, the hardy band found
large quantities of black sand. which
So resembled gunpowder that they
named the valley Powder Valley
ana as such it has since been known.
Proceeding north from here the party
camped the next day at the present
site Of the town of North Powder,
where the first white child born in
Oregon east of the Cascades, saw the
light of day. Ii was the child of an
Indian squaw wife of a 'squaw man
whose name is disputed. From here
the explorers found the way easier
and following Indian trails reached
the Columbia river near The Dalles
and comp eted. their perilous journey
to Fort Astor.
The exerc Ses commemorating this
event were presided over by Profes-
sor ]. 4. Churchill, superintendent OF
the public schools OF Baker, and
among the speakers were the follow
ing men. prominently identified with
the early history of oregon, some au-
thors of histories dealing with the de-

The papers which. less dominated by
the commercial interests that have
New Englands politics in their grip,
either ignore the situation or go out
of their way to make fun of it, its
founders, its leaning toward Senator
LaFollette, what they think is its fu-
ture. OF all the dailies which have
thus far commented on the invasion
of New England by insurgency, the

enough that the advances of progress
