Everybody. including themselves,

~ Rayne and Harry Smedley and that
such love, trust and confidence were
seldom to be found. 1t did not oil end
with the honeymoon, as certain crus-
ty old bachelor predicted, but when
they had been married whole year
The doves were still cooling.
Then one evening Mrs. Smedley had
lawn party, and as half dozen peo-
pie sat together It was announced that
the writer Of an anonymous letter had
succeeded In separating a certain man
and his wife. All expressed their sor-
row and Indignation, but host anil
hostess felt called upon to so further.
THE husband who will pay the
slightest attention to can anonymous
letter should be tabooed from associa-
ton with oil sensible people," was the
observation Of the husband as he plac-
ed his arm around his wife's waist
mo one but a coward writes those let

act upon them"
IF l should get a hundred anony-
nous letters concerning Harry should
only laugh ut them" added the wife as
she kissed him before them ALL
Three mornings later at his Office Mr.
Smedley received letter. AS 1t was

man he felt quite bit Of curiosity
about it. He opened the envelope to

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A piece of heavy furniture, such as
couch, morris chair or large table,
even though provided with casters,
will leave unsightly marks on hard
wood floor. Caster cups, whether of
glass, metal or wood, will prevent this.
The casters fit into these dish shape
holders, thus saving the housewife
many q sore trial.
When n thermometer falls without
breaking and the mercury becomes
separated In the tube and thus fails
to register correctly, the best and
quickest way to repair 1t Is to put the
thermometer into small saucepan of
cold water on the stove, allow the
water to heat until the mercury Is
forced to the top and then remove from
the fire aid when it settles the mercury
will go down the column unbroken.
Keep a lump of charcoal in the
drawer with the fat silver. This will
absorb extra moisture finding its way
into the drawer and so keep the silver
bright.
A disfiguring spot on the wallpaper
will often yield to a rubber on the end
Of pencil or an ordinary eraser.

Few amateur laundresses know the
value of gum water. For stifrening
laces, silks, flannel blouses and max
ing them appear almost new 1t is excel
lent, and, being finer In quality than
starch, 1t does not produce a harsh
look on fine laces and silks.
The correct proportion to use Is a
tablespoonful of gum water to one cup
full Of water. To make the gum water
put one ounce Of the best broken up
gum arabic into a jug, pour over 1t a
cupful Of boiling water and leave in a
warm place, stirring often with a wood
en- stick until the gum melts. Make
small quantities ut a time.

Watch your wife. and you will dis

The young husband laughed aud
started to tear up the missive. Then
lie restrained his hand. and his laugh
faded to II grin. 1t was good joke to
send him such mlssive. He would
carry 1t home Mt noon and laugh over
1t with his little wife.
When the coward picked him out to
receive such n warning he took the
wrong man. He whistled and put the
letter in his pocket and began his
work. 1t was funny. 1t would raise
a laugh. They would show 1t to their
circle. and others would laugh with
them. Five minutes later he was say
ing to himself:

himself for asking, and yet the query
kept bobbing up. A contemplate cow
ard of a woman wrote that unfinished
sentence and wrote It to make trou-
BILE. II he could find her out she
should suffer for it, Discover any
thing wrong on the part Of his pure
hearted little wife! The idea was vii
famous.
He put It aside again and again and
felt himself almost as mean as the
writer when II bobbed up again. The
forenoon was so long that he left the
office half an hour before IL and start
ed for home. He wanted to show the
letter to his wife and have laugh
over. 1t, but something occurred to
change his plan.
He was within block of the house
when a man came OUT gave a look up
and down the street and hurried away.
Then. too, as he entered the door his
wife exclaimed In surprise and almost
demanded to know why he was half
IN hour ahead of his time. He kissed
her, but It was n perfunctory kiss.
She nestled up to- him. but he thought
he could feel her trembling.
At o o'clock that same morning the
carrier had left a letter for her in a
mans handwriting. She opened It,
thinking that IL might be bill from
the grocer. and the next moment her
merry laugh rang out. ~

ORIGINAL DINNER IDEA.

Knives, Forks and Spoons Have No
Place at Such an Affair.
A "knifeless, forkless, spoonless din
ner" is great fun, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The silver knives, forks and spoons
of the usual dinner are tied up in
punches and depended from the chan
delier. Large implements of the wood
en- variety used for salad or the steel
ones Of the carving set are stacked up
like weapons in groups at each end Of
the table.
A huge knife and fork worked out
in flowers could figure as centerpiece
where a florists services are sought,
but this is not necessary to the sue
cess of the affair.
Instead there could be large home
made cake, the slices Of which have
been individually iced and then group
ed together so that the cake can be
served without cutting. II desired each
slice can rest upon ribbon which Is
drawn out to some cover, the cake be-
ing obtained in this way when the
proper moment arrives.
For place cards cut out little hands
from eggshell, cardboard or paper and
on each write or paint the time hon
orcd jest that Fingers were made be-
fore forks" together with the name Of
whom is to occupy that seat.
For the first course serve tiny bunch
es of dollhouse grapes arranged on in
dividual fruit plates. The stem of
each bunch may be tied with bebe rib
bon.
Next comes oysters on the half shell,
the smallest Blue Points. They are to
be nipped up from the shell with the
teeth.
The soup is easily arranged for, be-
ing served in cups with handles, and
with 1t must 60 crackers or bread
sticks. q ,
Let the main dish be chops delicious
ly broiled with the bones trimmed
with paper frills to protect the fork
less fingers.
For dessert serve big wedges of pie.
All kinds of little cakes are available,
and cones filed with ice cream are
highly in keeping.
Round out the function with the
usual demi tasse, bonbons, sailed nuts,
etc. Have tissue paper bibs for all the
guests.
Grape paper napkins will serve.

WINTER GOOD LOOKS.

Winter good looks depend good
deal on the choice Of furs. The pink
and white beauty is the most success
full wearer of white or black furs, but
the red haired woman Of the delicate,
white skinned type can also wear
white with excellent effect. Soft gray
furs are becoming to the woman whose
complexion lacks brilliance and whose
features are inclined to be hard, but
they will emphasize any glints Of
green which she may happen to have
in her eyes.
Regular and nourishing meals are
very important in defying winter ugli-

an, must now be sternly avoided.

That the Occur d'Alene dis
trict is one of the greatest
wealth producing sections in
the United Stats, is evidenced
by the monthly dividends paid
by the big mining companies
there. The July dividends
paid by two companies-Hec
la and Success -amounted to
$65, 600, making a total of
100000 paid by these two
companies this year. That
section will continue to pour
out its wealth for many years
to come as the, mining indus
try may be said to be only in
its infancy. In addition tu
the mines, the timber inter
ests of the north are an asset
of incalculable value to the
state. While the mines and
forests of northern Idaho are
pouring forth their wealth,
the agricultural and fruit
lands of Southern Idaho are
each year producing millions
of dollars worth of product.
Truly, Idaho is a great state
and each year the value of its
varied products is rapidly in
creasing.

IS ROOSEVELT RIGHT

Roosevelts new party marks the
elimination of the country's unrest.
The new party call says that the
old parties are in the hands of
.'crooked political bosses" and OF
s'the privileged classes" There
fore National Progressive Move
ment on non-sectional lines is i'm
peratively needed. The calls adds
that the new party will support leg
islation to favor honest business,
promote prosperity and secure ga
better and more equitable diffusion
of prosperity"
The business men of this country
as a general thing are honest If
there are exceptions, they apply to
every one else. The jalls, the poor
houses, the insane asylums are not
filled with business men. 1t is not
the offspring of business men that
fill our orphan asylums. The Amer.
lean business man is as square, hon.
est and just as the business man of
any part of the world.
A new party must have some rea-
son for its birth If there is no
better reason for Colonel Roose-
velt's new party than that 80 indie
Finally and loosely stated in the call
for his national convention, then
the party is still-born. 1t will join
the list of the free silver, the grang-
er, the popullst and the "rag mon
ey" parties. 1t will suffer the fate
of the so-calIed Liberal party, in
the movement which put Greeley
forward as Its candidate and sub
jected him to such ignominious
defeat that he died of grief and hui
initiation.
Colonel Roosevelt was President
of the United States for seven years.
No other president in our day had
such complete control of the execu-
tive power as he enjoyed for nearly
two presidential terms. He had
the confidence and support of the
American people. They believed
III him. They trusted in him. They
listened to him. lie had Congress
fully in sympathy with him and
with his purposes. Thus for seven
years he was the controlling inhu-
ence in the government of the
United States.
We submit one simple question
to Colonel Roosevelt and to the
American people. That is this:
If in seven years, with Congress in
sympathy with him and with the
people thoroly devoted to HIM,
Colonel Roosevelt could not secure
the legislation which his new
party's call SO specifically outlines,
how long would it take him to com
plete the task if he were reelected?
Would it take one term. two
terms or all his life?-Leslie's
