Concentration Wins Success Says Miss Walker

scene. | see every bit of the changing
Landscape as I look out into space, l
hear the voices of the lovers in other
boats. l watch them pass. If | stopped
for one instant. if my attention wa
vered the illusion would be lost. OF
course, it's the same thing with the
others. We have learned much phi
losophy and are in yellow Jacket and
have a daily lesson in the hardest kind
of mental concentration.
People talk a great deal about mag
netism and fascination and every one
wonders what it is. Little Autumn
Cloud has to have both in her wicked
little makeup and l hope she has.
What are they? Wen. magnetism
seems to me to be the constant giving
out from great reserve fund of brains
or heart without depicting oneself. Fas-
cination is hundred different things
The very habit of paying close atten-
ton constitutes a power to charm in
some people.
Listen Well. "
Have you ever noticed that the girl
who knows how to listen is always
sure Of friends? That is her power Of
Fascinating. remember my cousin
Walker Whiteside, telling me to learn
how to listen to people.
He gave me that advice when l was
child. and | realize more and more the
power, the fascination of the attentive
listener in these days, especially when
it seems as if everybody were talking
together and nobody pays the slightest
heed TO what the other is saying.
People are always lamenting that
the art of conversation is declining. but
really it is the art of listening Where
you find the earnest sympathetic listener
you will find no lack of fluent language.
though the conversation may be moth
ing more than one-sided monologue.
The girl who can listen well is sure
to be d, social favorite. though she may
have only the meagerest claims to
beauty or brain. She is sending out
those unseen waves Of sympathy which
attract people to her. and she can hold
them by the same quallty-her silent
concern about their affairs. Nothing is
50 flattering to a man as to gain a
woman's close attention. He will al
ways call that girl fascinating who will
listen with the most complete absorp-
ton to the story of himself. If she has
tact and understanding enough to urge
! him to continue on the same engross-
! ing topic, she can be sure of his ad-
| miration."
I And seeing that this advice comes
from the most enchanting little fascl-
! nator, girls will do well to follow it.

Here is a fact worth knowing when
you cook eggs. A spoonful of flour
added to the grease in which eggs are
to be fried vii prevent them from
breaking or sticking to the pan.
Very frequently when separating the
whites from the yolks Of eggs the yolk
becomes broken and falls into the
white. Dip a cloth in warm water
wiring it dry and touch the yolk with
a corner Of it. The yolk will adhere to
the cloth and may easily be removed

And yet l know a great many grown
people with a belief in their own in
tegrity who seem to think nothing of
lying to them about the consequences
of their acts or the punishments that
will follow.
'Tf you touch anything on the par

to her seven-year daughter.
IF you don't behave the bugger man

lifelong fear of darkness.
Lying to children is so unfair You

THE DUTY OF SENATOR BoRAHs FRIENDS

Senator Borah should be returned to the United
States where he has made record of which he may
be proud personally and for which the state OF Idaho
proud Mere political differences upon matters OF minor
Importance, should not be taken into consideration All
progressive Democrats know that Borah is progress

control of the Democratic party in Idaho will let the Dem
ocrats elect should the legislature be Democratic
The Days. Of them the state senator who made such
record in the state legislature of opposition to progress
sve and reform though representing the most
progressive county in the state and the other the special
and authorized representative of the mining interests OF
the state the richest and most active special interest

troled the Democratic platform convention Of this year
and again absolutely controlled the organization of that
party
One of them is reported to have offered to contribute
$4,000 the state campaign fund if the reactiona1ies
should be given control of the organization They
given such control it is probable the contribution
good The other Day is said have thrown 500 600
into the campaign in Latah county to keep that county
away from Borah.
The only purpose of all this activity and all this
pendture of money is to the election of reaction
AIRY Democrat to the United States senate to succeed
Borah if the Democrats control the legislature and if the
Democrats should control the legislature they will either
send reactionarv to the senate they will send
The chances that with the aid of reaconary Republ
votes they would succeed in defeating the progressive
element Of the party There is not progressive Demo-
crat i'll Idaho but would rather have Borh represent the
state than reactionary Democrat, and many of them
would really prefer him to almost any other of any
political faith.
Why then should these Democrats run the risk of his
defeat by voting for legislative ticket which would be
considered to be under obligation to vote with their party
associates even though the reactonary element among
them should determine to combine with reactonary Re-
publican members to elect reactionary of one the
other of these parties?
1t is unfortunate that the constitution requires such
sacrifice to be made order to elect the choice of the
pie but it does require and may well face the pre-
dicament and make the sacrifice.
Let every progressive vote in Idaho be cast for the
Republican legislative ticket for that way only the
return of Borah to the United States senate be
pshed. Whatever else any may think whatever else
they may WISH whatever else they may be told, the
only way to vote for Borah to vote for the Republican
candidates for state senator and the Republican cand

him, in such event, to cast his vote for Wilson, It
would be reasonable however, suppose that should the
plurality of the votes of Idaho show that Roosevelt is the

to cast Idaho's vote for that candidate.
