Queen Mary and
Her HOSteSSes
Wife of the King of England Said To
Be Very Considerate When
She Is a Guest.

LONDON. Aug. ..


1.-THE most considerate lady who
ever stayed under the roof Of
another" is the description which
r. given OF Queen Mary.
When, some time ago. the Queen wished
20 have a settee removed in the sitting
room allotted to her In a mansion where
she was stopping she sent for the house
keeper and asked in the most gracious
way 70 she might take such liberty.
The merest trine In her rooms she would
not move without express permission.
This consideration she is said 20 inherit
from her mother. the late Duchess Of
Eeck. who was noted for the same feel
ing.
II is with the utmost hesitancy that the
Queens attendant will approach the still
room maid or the housekeeper for the
simplest requirement OF her royal mis-
tress, ouch as a little barley water or
home made lemonade. two favorite bever-
ages OF the Queen.
A guest who was present at lady Sails
bury's ball. in Arlington street, the other
night, says that the three most simply
dressed ladies' were the Princess Royal
and her two daughters. Like Queen Alex
andra, the Princess retains perfectly her
slender figure, and in her quiet black
dress. lightly trimmed with Jet. in which
her waist was well defined. she might have
been her daughters eldest sister.
II was not until after the death OF the
Duke of Fife that 1t was realized how
wealthy ne was. for he never boasted. The
extraordinary simplicity of the attire Of
the Duchess OF Fife. who is now the
weaithiest unmarried woman in the King
dom. and that OF her sister, whose dresses
were OF ordinary white silk, were a sub
ject OF much comment. Both girls are
beautiful dancers. They know all the
new steps and trpped them with con-
siderable zest.

At the Request OF Secretary Finney
and Attorney A. NJ. Bowen, Land
Board Takes the Matter in Hand.

The Salmon River Settlers Associa-
tlon, together with the State Engi-
neer's office, are at present working
upon the question as to whether or
not it is feasible to secure additional
water for the Salmon tract from some
source other than the Salmon river
basin. In case it is possible to secure
such water the plan is to undertake to
compel the Salmon River Land and
Water company to construct the works
necessary in order that water may be
available for the entire acreage ori-
ginally contemplated. The state land
board recently, at the request of |. E.
Finney, secretary for the association,
and A. M. Bowen, its attorney, passed
resolution requiring the state engi-
neer to make thorough investigation
of the situation. While nothing de-
finitely is known, it is thought by
many that water can be secured.

FOOD FOR CHILDRtN'S HOME
Carload of Provisions From Twin Falls
County for Home.

Thank offering week. for the bene-
fit of the Children's Home society,
will be observed in Twin Falls coun-
ty from October 18th to 18th: This is
the week of the childrens fair in the
various schools of the county and
County Superintendent Miss Noel is
anxious to make the effort not only
pleasant and instructive, but profit
able for the greatest charitable organ
lZat1On in the state, when the thought
of the rural school fair was conceived
she wrote to the Home that if it was
acceptable she would undertake to
gather carload of the finest produce
that could be produced in any part
of the world. Such offers are always
welcomed by the society and will ma
terially reduce their winters expense.
The 0. S. L. offered to furnish the car
and Miss Noel is enthusiastic for the
success of the undertaking
The work of the Children's Home
society is too well known to need any
recommendation. There is hardly
neiShborhood where their worth has
not been felt. Over thirty children
have been sent to their care, most of
which have been placed in homes, sew
eral have been given surgical atten-
ton for which they were suffering.
One boy had club foot Strengthened,
another had his cross eyes corrected,
while others have been operated on
for various difficulties, the last to be
sent to the Home was little girl who
had lost an eye and was about to be-
come totally blind, but by removing
the bad eye the other can be saved.
This work is now being done in the
Home.
Last year this effort was made by
Fremont county and their car was fill
ed to over-flowing, nearly every bus
mess man in the county was repre-
sented by his offering and many of
them were carefully selected and of
great value. Then over 1000 chill
dren brought offerings besides the
Commercial clubs. Women's clubs,
churches and other organizations
Joined in the effort. Some idea of the
success can be gained by a statement
issued to the Boise papers as to it's
contents, which were in part as fol-
lows: 1000 lbs. flour, 1000 lbs. sugar,
1000 cans home canned fruit, 100
sacks spuds, 900 lbs. honey, 100.
dressed chickens, rs boxes apples,
over 300 garments. mostly new; 5000
worth of groceries and various other
gifts too numerous to mention. The
car was decorated with suggestive
banners from the various towns and
received much notice in transit, while
the Boise newspapers were enthusiasts
tic about the enterprise of the Free
mont county people Miss Noel says
that Twin Falls county cannot be out
done In quantity or quality 80 she has
commenced organizing and will spare
no work to make the effort one that
the county can be proud Of. The car
will start at Buhl and stop at every
station along the line. The goods will
be gathered in the various school
houses and committee will see that
they are got to the car
