THE HOSTESS OF CLOVER INN

Glover Inn stands in a triangular
garden with an outlying meadow, at
the fork of the roads to Clinton and
Greenbrier. It is one-story build
ing with slanting roof in which blink
many garnet windows, roof far pro-
jecting and shadowing the porch
which extends on the four sides of the
hostelry.
The Glover, before the building of
the railway, had been a famous inn,
and in these latter days, though little
money is taken in except in the sum-
mer season, it has not degenerated in
it's keep. The house remains uni
formly neat and clean, the garden
paths and flower beds trim and weed
less, and from the kitchen still come
the soups and meats that have made
the culinary art of the Widow Rob-
bins noted far and near There were
diversities of opinion among the peo-
pie of lakewood on many subjects but
everyone agreed that the widow was
first-class and thoroughly upright
woman.
"She would be a saint if 'twarnt
for her temper" said Miss Pinky
White to Mr.. Hoddle, who kept the
general store, that modest country
counterpart of the great department
stores of the city.
"An' it pears to me, Miss Pinky,
that that's modified considerable of
late" said Mr.. Hoddle.
"It have ever since Louis did de-
part for places unknown" declared
Miss Pinky; continuing in a tone of
reflection, Dear senses, how time do
fly! was quite a young girl when
that event TRANSFERRED"
GA lady is as young as she looks an
there is immortal flowers" responded
Mr.. Hoddle CALAMITY.
Miss Pinky, turned fifty, received
the compliment with a blush, and de.
cided to take dress of that polka dot
calico over which she had wavered for
upwards of an hour.
1t was a warm June afternoon and
on her way home, Miss Pinky, wad.
ding along the path exposed to the
rays of the sun, decided in her mind
that, as she had to pass the inn, she
would pay a pop visit and exhibit
her purchase to the Widow Robbins
for whose opinion she had great re
spect
Making her way without ceremony
to the far end of the hall that cut the
inn in two, Miss Pinky entered, with
out knocking, the widows sitting
room, a spruce little apartment with
easement windows, at one end OF
which sat the widow in a rocking
chair, hemming an article of wearing
apparel.
'Pinky White" she exclaimed
bundling up her work in her lap, and
jumping up from her chair. Il Ger
tainly am glad to see you; I'd assent

The widow herself was thin and
wiry, and possessed pair of sharp
eyes that had never needed what she
would have denominated as specs

THE KINDLING DAWN IN THE
ORIENT.
Chinese Spreading cathoIiclty.

A most interesting story comes to
us from China of how a mission
which was falling away from the faith
was regenerated. 1t appears that sew
prefecture of Tientsin in which the
faith had once been strong began to
lose it's fervor. The Bishop could not
send a missionary to live among the
people and, their first fervor worn
off, they began to grow careless. The
heart of the missionary was saddened
when after travelling two hundred
miles to be with his people his recep-
ton was cold and he found the
Christians careless. At last the Bish-
op lost patience and deprived the con-
gregation of the consultations of re-
ligion which they so lily appreciated.
This brought them to realization of
their condition. They petitioned
Father Liable, the administrator of
the district, to restore their church
and he sent them a good catechist to
instruct them. The grace of God
touched their hearts under the in
struction and guidance of this Jealous
man, and after delegation of the
people had travelled two hundred miles
to appeal to him to come and offer
the Holy Sacrifice for them on Christ
mas Day, Father Liable felt that they
had learned the lesson that the Bishop
wished to bring home to them and he
went. Three hundred persons went to
confession that Christmas Day and
received Holy Communion and several
apostates made their peace with God.
A priest was sent to minister to the
people, and among his first converts
was "litterato'-one of the men of
learning.
And now a wonderful thing hap
pened. The priest and the litterato
gathered the three hundred Christians
together into society which they
called the Society for the Propaga-
ton of the Faith" The object of the
society was to spread interest in the
faith among the pagans and to keep it
alive and strong in the Catholics. In
two years time, from a little COM
munity of three hundred souls the
number of Catholics increased until
the society had five thousand mem
bers, all of them not only Catholics
but pledged to aid in the spread of the
faith. The success of the first society
aroused the interest of other COM
munities which also established the
organization. In 1911 the society held
it's first general congress at Tientsin.
By this time the fame of the organi-
zation had spread abroad into other
dioceses and, under the name of the
Union of the Chinese Catholic Ac-
tion," the society began to partake of
the nature of national organization.
On August last the first congress
of the U. G. C. A. was held in Tien-
tsin. Previously the society had been
approved by Bishop Dumond and
Father Liable appointed director. 1t
is spreading rapidly to all the dis
tricts of China and promises to be a
power in the spread of the faith in the
Flowery Kingdom.

however, that the final decision Will

NO RESIDENCE REQUIRED.

Representative French has INTRO
duced a bill providing for the deslg-
nation of 32 900 acres OF land ny
the secretary of the interior within
fine state of Idaho which Is now
available for entry under the en-
lorpcd homestead act without the
ros;dence feature of the law being
imposcd. In the state OF Utah large
areas have been designated where
the residence may be maintained
with a radius of 80 miles. In Idaho
some 6OOO acres have been desig
ooted where the residence may b'
within 20 miles. 1t appears tina
there are large tracts of land IN tn
scmi-arid region Of southern ldah'
similar to the lands in Utah whic'
ore available for agricultural pun
noses and yet are of such a chara'
tor that water cannot he iurmshe
for domestic uses excepting ut en-
cccdingly high cost. Mr.. frehc
believes that the reasons that appl
IN Utah for removing the reslden'
p feature of the law apply equally

the laws of the two states IN tn

County Division Matters
Question Now Up to the Legis-
lature for Consideration.

II one was to base his opinion ON
county division matters by consult
ing the columns Of the Boise papers,
he would at once conclude that the
jig was up, and the whole thing was
settled. Since and even before the
convening Of the legislature, the
divisionists have been delightfully."-
entertaining the members Of the
cgi>laturc and the Boise press with
fairy stories concerning conditions
down in Lincoln county, and how
unanimous the people were down
this way for this division.
In order that no time might be
lost, among the first bills to be pre-
,entcd was by Senator Borden, for
the creating Of Gooding and Mini
doka counties. In the house repre-
sentative Adams presented a bill to
create Minidoka county. while Ev-
ans did like service on behalf OF
Gooding county.
During all this time the anti-di-
visiOnists were preparing renon-
F. -tramces and statistical information
showing the injustice and inequality

posed. Together with this was Al
