And burning with curiosity AZ to
what part Poniotowsky played in her
life. Dan sat quiet. not venturing to
put to her any more questions. She
seemed SO tired and so overcome by
her own thoughts. When they had
turned down toward the hotel. how
ever, he decided that he must in honor
tell her his news
Got some news to tell you," he ex-
claimed abruptly. Want you to con-
graduate me. I'm engaged to be mar

She happens to be great admirer OF

The actress turned sharply to him
and in the dark he could see her lit
tie. white face. The covering over her
head fell back and she exclaimed:
Heavens" and impulsively put her
hands out over his. do you really
mean what you say?"
"Yes." He nodded supposedly.

then drew back from him and laugh

She looked up at him swiftly as
though she fancied she might detect
some new quality in him which she
had not observed before. but she saw
only his clear. kind eyes. his charming
smile and his beautiful. young ignor-

fsrently. "Marconied him; didn't tell

A little dazed BY the way each OF
the two women took the mention Of

START SEARCH FOR MAN
MISSING IN MOUNTAINS

Spokane, Wash.-Jacob and Gottlob
KeIlar, master bakers in Spokane,
are tramping through the mountain
wilds of the Sheep Lake country, in
British Columbia, searching for their
brother, Gustav Kellar. who lost his
v ny, after separating from Michael
Johnson, his companion, on a big
game hunting and trapping trip, last
fall. They have provisions and am
mlnition for a stay of five weeks.
Officers of Spokane Lodge, No. 261,
Loyal Order of Moose. with which
the missing man is affiliated, will
dispatch a searching party of five
men, chosen from among its $500
members, to the scene in 10 days, in
the event no word is received from
the two brothers.
Three theories are advanced by
seasoned woodsmen. who are familiar
with the district where Kellar Is lost.
one is that in an effort to reach the
cabin he wandered about aimlessly
Until overcome by hunger and cold.
Another is that he was attacked by
wild animals and died from injuries,
e'h nv 4 - NbdN ut was dCCl-
dentally shot. The brothers alone
believe he is alive, probably in a pros
pector's cabin or in an ~improvised
abode in the woods.
Johnson says ne heard a single
shot. fired presumably by Kellar,
about o'clock the afternoon the men
separated. 1t appeared to be off
some distance, but he thought moth
ing Of 1t until Kellar failed to re-
turn that night. He made a wide de-
tour of the cabin the following day,
without finding trace of his compan-
ion.
Johnson walked to the settlement

to such a depth that efforts to trace
the lost hunter were of no avail. Re-
turning to the settlement the men re-

wolves and a bear in the deep forest.

LA TOILETTE.

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette who
began his Oregon campaign with a
speech in Pendleton this afternoon,
is a remarkable man and one of the
great figures in the presidential fight
now underway. He is a progressive
of such zeal and intenseness that
nothing can swerve him from his
course. He may not win the repub-
lican nomination this summer but
he is fighting Just the same. He
fights on through storm as well as
sunshine and he may see the clouds
o: opposition give way to brighter
days. That has occurred 10 him in
the past and it may occur again.
But while La Toilette is about the
most uncompromising leader in the
i~rsurgent cause he is not as radical
as is generally supposed. He stands
firmly and strongly for the reforms
in which he believes but he does not
so beyond wise depths. La Follette's
radicalism comes from the fact of his
intensity more than anything else.
His record justifies the belief that he
near all that he says and that If
given the power he will drive the
ship straight through to the harbor
OF progressive government no matter
what contrary breezes blow. He is
not Of the Taft variety.
The best thing about La Follette's
candidacy and the best tribute to him
a. a public man is the loyalty with
which the people Of his home state
stand behind him. The senator has
been bitterly assailed for years. He
has been %snubbed, scorned and laid
away as politically dead. But Wis
ccnsin has never gone back upon him.
That state stood by him while con-
gresham, while governor, through
two senatorial campaigns, and 1t IL
now backing him more strongly than
ever for president. II is testimony to
the effect his home people believe in
him and will stand by him whether
he succeeds or fails.
The people OF Pendleton listened
this afternoon to a strong man and a
valiant, forceful fighter for the cause
OF the people.

ing their force they would be all
the more likely to think so themselves.
It's just like a girl who has a lot of
beauX. There was my own case for
instance. When you asked me to
marry you there were four other fell
lows who were crazy to nav me. and
1 didn't want to get married, any how.
Out i accepted you because you had
the courage to ask me when you
knew 1 could have easily gotten along
without you"
Yes, but you see, | could afford to
take a chance then. It's different

\ BALLOT.


\ circular ballot has been proposed
in Chicago as an equitable way of ar
ranging names at primary elections
and regarding the scheme the Chicago
Record-Herald recently said:
There is ingenuity in the plan for
a ballot to contain names of candl-
dates radially arranged in circles,
which has been devised by Edmund
Ii. Roche. No candidate would have
an advantage and the whole would be
contained on a small sheet. The dem
ocratic party ballot for Cook county
will be more than seven feet long.
containing 407 names. Mr.. Roche's
ballot would be only two feet square.
Would the average voter, however,
like to twirl his ballot many times to
vote a complete ticket? The existing
form of ballot has an advantage of
easy inspection, and It's only fault is
that it is too long. Objections to Civ
ing some candidate the leading place
can be met by the rotation of ballots
the printing of an equal number for
each candidate. so hat each will have
as many as every other candidate
with his name heading the list.
The ccircular ballot might well be
tried somewhere at a primary election
IA see whether voters find it satisfac-
tory. The number of m on pri-
mary ballots cannot be greatly re-
duced until we get the short ballot

little lean cooking bacon. When the
bacon begins to take a good brown
color add some eggs, which you have
previously seasoned with salt and pep

thicker than a pancake. When it is
well cooked on one side turn it as
you would a pancake.
This omelette is equally agreeable
to eat hot or cold. In Savoy the meas

The Farmers clubs of Michigan, in

went on record in favor of giving wo-
men the ballot. A majority of the
people of Michigan are in favor of it
The last legislature was almost ready

merits.-Bay City, Mich, Times.
Missouri.
1t is reported that a bill to confer
suffrage on women in Missouri will be
introduced at the next session of the
state legislature by Senator Thomas
]. Lysaght. At the last session Sem
ator Lysaght supported the bill fos-
tered by women's organizations, and
he has been much interested in the
suffrage campaign in California.
California.
1t cost California women about Is
cents per vote TO win their fight for
suffrage. Gentlemen politicians say
the average cost is about $3.50 per
vote. Down with the high cost of

The South.
One Of the teachers in a college in
the South wrote to the Boston Equal
Suffrage association for Good Govern
ment for material for debate on the
question of woman suffrage and has
just written again about the debate.
These southern girls were all against
suffrage she says, until they stud
led the question for this debate. Now
the affirmative side has decided to
convert the world to equal suffrage.
and will be quite disappointed if they
have no obstacles to overcome. One
of them used an argument from a
story in which some one says: THE
suffragists have the best reason, but
instinct tells me they are wrong" and
answered it: Instinct belongs pri-
marily to animals, reason to higher
forms of life. We hope some day to
evolve into that perfect state called
argelhood when supreme reason is
our guide. Meanwhile, it is well to
rely on it as much as possible. The
direct descendants of those of our an
cestors who relied on instinct only
are still swinging by muscular tails to
leafy boughs."
Virginia.
President Tyler, of William and
Mary college, in a recent address, said
he thought the governor of Virginia
had set too remote a date when he
predicted that the women of that
state would be voting within 10
years. He believed they might get
the ballot within five
Tennessee.
The Tennessee state Federation of
Labor, at its recent annual meeting
in Memphis passed resolutions en-
dorsing woman suffrage.
Connecticut.
Connecticut, the conservative old
land o. steady habits" says an OBJ
server. ''is stirred as seldom in its
history by a unique suffrage
campaign which is not only doing
what the Connecticut Woman Suf-
frage association desires. making it
clear that their movement is to be
taken seriously, but is bringing more
than one man who understands the
state and sees beyond the end of his
own nose to believe that the Nutmeg
state may be the leader among East
ern states in equal suffrage"

Slice the mushrooms and then stew
them in butter with a dessert-spoon-

should have been cooked in butter

and boil gently until the latter is well
boiled down. At the last moment
finish with a little thin cream and
