When young Mr.. Williams came to
our boarding house it was plain to
| every one that this was not his first
experience at boarding.
In tact, his actions seemed to indi-
cate that he was old and experienced
IN the life OF boarding, and that he
had come to us from some other
boarding house, or possibly from
| succession OF them.
II was shown in the aplomb with
which he assured Mrs. Hicks that he
invariably paid his board on pay day.
and that his pay day came on Satur-
day, ignoring her somewhat distorted
statement that she insisted on pay In

1t was further shown in the way
he skilfully tipped the covering of
the bed in his hall bedroom and ap-

so nearly normal that people he knew
would forget to speak to him. He
was Of medium height and weight,
and 80 far as we could see had but
one suit OF clothes, and that an ordi-
nary dusty, ,brownish gray.
His appetite. too, proved normal.
He had a typical boarding house appe-
lite that pushed aside those things It
did not want and insisted on a double
supply OF those It did. 1t was a dis
eliminating appetite that refused to
accept things the nature Of which did
not appear on the surface

EGGS AND CHICKENS

Judge c. c. Goodwin, in Salt
Lake Telegram, tells the following
interesting bit of history Of White
Pine county and conditions in the
days of long ago:
1t comes from the east that q
process has been perfected for
f1avoring eggs. That is an old
process IN the west. 1t is simple,
to, and il strengthens if it does
not improve with age.
The boys in White Pine had it in
perfection that first hard season
Of 18G8-69 The eggs came to them
in lumber wagons from Utah. AS
Stunning that the eggs were fresh
when they left home. by the time
they reached their destination.
three hundred miles awav, they
we're like some young men who
are fresh enough when they leave
home. but in their buffeting with
the world, after awhile they take
on symptoms of Encouragement
and loss of zeal for the right which
prompted them when younger.
Those eggs were not spoiled,
but they looked better when
scrambled than in any other form.
The flavor they had seemed to be
an odor of mild decay mixed with
an entire absence of self con-
sicousness. But in one respect they
were remarkable. The good book
tells how the prophet wandered
ih the wilderness forty days, living
on locusts and wild honey. If the
prophet had struck those eggs he
might have wandered forty years
on the memory of them.
At least we know men who ate
them in that W inter who still have
memory which prevents their
asking for any kind of eggs at
real festival.
What winter that was. No
one who was there has ever com
planned of the high price of food
since. On one of those Utah
wagons one day there came in per-
baps 300 chickens. There were
boys there who would gamble
sometimes, and they shook dice
for part of them. One young
fellow won a duzen of them.
There was a young Methodist
minister there, and across the
street from him lived a middle
aged Catholic priest. The Young
man took half his chickens and
knocked on the minister's doorA
when the young man said: 81
have brought you three fine
chickens, but l want to tell you
that l won them ny gambling.
Take them right away. want
nothing to do with them!" was the
reply.
The young man turned, crossed
the street and tapped on the
fathers door. When it was opened,
he said: Father, ! have brought
you six beautiful chickens. But,
father 1 must tell you gambled
for and won them"
The father made q grab for
them, saying: "But the chickens
are not to blame"
Treasure Hill and Hamilton also.

linger there. When they are re-
called one Of these days they will

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. BULLETIN

In view of the facetious remarks
going the rounds of the press
relative to the Acknowledgement of
women making it necessary for
them to give their age when regis.
tering, attention is called to the
curious fact that many members
Of the U. S. Senate and Congress
decline to reveal their ages when
qualifying for Office, although il
is one of the requirements.
One of the Interchangeable work
ers in the Kansas campaign for
equal suffrage is Mrs. Stubs. wife
Of the Governor. Mrs. Stubs is
vice-president of the Kansas Suf-
frage Association, and her intense
enthusiasm is an inspiration to
advocates of the cause throughout
the State.
Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife
of the celebrated author, is one of
the most active workers in the
equal suffrage campaign which is
rapidly gaining momentum in New
Hampshire.

crusade led by Miss Brooks during
a period of two years.
The Mayo of Montreal presided
at a meeting recently held in that
city when Mrs. Parkhurst ad-
dressed one of the largest aud

that country was crowned with
success.

The debate between Messrs. Will
son, Taft and Roos evelt has proceed
ed far enough already to make one
thing clear. There Is a single issue
today, just as there was year ago,
two years ago and three years ago,
with one man on one side OF IL and
two men OIL the other side.
That issue 10 the extortionate tariff
OF The trusts and fat.fryers and the
refusal OF the Republican party TO re-
form II accordance with its
promises.
We have heard no serious CON-
plant against Mr.. Taft except upon
this score. When II 10 charged that
he has served the interests and re-
jected ethe counsels and commands OF
the people, this is what is meant. He
has been strangled in the coils OF the
tariff.
Yet on the vital question OF Official
accountability and obedience TO the
popular will In this matter Mr.. Roose-
yelt is as silent as Boss Aldrich, Boss
Payne or Boss Dalzell. Like them,
he draws his campaign supplies from
its beneficiaries. Like them, he has
no apologies TO OFFER TO a people de-
ceived and betrayed.

Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt Is personal.

IL has only an indirect bearing upon
the actual issues of the campaign.

II is a mistake to think that because
of the ground-swell of discomfort with
the Taft administration throughout
the country there is little for the
Democratic leaders to do. The wide
spread discomfort Is due primarily TO
particular acts Of Mr.. Taft and the
Republican party, principally their
faithlessness In the matter Of tariff
revision.
The only consolation they offer to
millions OF consumers who are groan-
