Daysey Mayme
AndHer Folks
By FRANCES 1. GARsIDE.

%HERE is a ring at a woman's
door. In the two minutes that
elapse before she opens it she
cleans house, ~looks at herself in the
glass. brushes her front hair back
and her back hair front, dabs powder
on her nose, and opens the door look
ing as far removed from domestic
cares as if she had been graphing
with Browning.
There was ring at the door of
Lysander John Appleton's home, and
in the two minutes that elapsed be
fore opening it, Daysey Mayme did
all this and more: She put ink on
her fingers.

to ones reputation for being lit

The preoccupied look in her eyes,
the look always seen in the eyes Of
those whose minds are absorbed in
deep reflection. changed to a welcom-
ing smile when she saw who stood at
the door.
Her Best Beloved she was glad
she had on her prettiest dress, realiz-
ing as only the temperamental can,
how much depends on special scenery,
and she led the way into the parlor
with a happy smile.
She turned to take his hat, Sud
denly the look of joy turned to an icy
glare, She grew rigid With her eyes
fixed above his head.
What" he stammeTed, "is the
matter?"
Her reply was a leap in the air that
landed her over his head. Then she
jumped to the top II the piano. in
another instant she had leaped to the
center table, always with her eyes
fixed in a rigid stare and with her
hands outstretched.
There was a frenzied plunge 10 the
floor. a dive under the lounge, from
which she emerged to engage in a
wild chase around and around, knock
ing over chairs and tables and tramp
ing her guest under feet
He tried to RS bit with a leap she
was on his head out only long enough
to give an inaTticulate cry. and she
was down on her knees before the
window
Best Beloved grew alarmed and
gave a cry for help, bnt no one heard
him for his cry was drowned in Il
loud. Tesoltnding whoop from Daysey
Nayne

c}aoping her hands violently in the
air in a prins that lifted her five feet
from the floor

screamed again in triumphant joy

In a small town theater a soldier,

Snap Shots
BY LILLIAN LAUFERTY.

EENH, Cupid is a foxy lad,
He knows what he's about;
He gets you into awful
sCrapes-
But he never gets you out
If e'er he coaxes you to wed,
You'll find it wise to tarry;
Do everything that Cupid does
But Cupid does not marry"
Love is such a mystery,
I can not find it out
For when | think I'm most resolved,
Then | am most in doubt"
He either fears his fate too much,
Or his deserts are small.
Who dare not put it to the touch
To win or lose it all"
How pitiful twere if when one
Fair rose had blown,
The bush should droop, its bearing
done,
Its vigor flown.
How pitiful 'twere II when
We love and lose,
We might not find the way again
That love pursues."

DRAWN FROM LIFE.

The dull harsh throb of an aching
heart
A feeling harsh like to madness
sharp, keen sting in burning eyes
And that is only sadness.
The deep soft beat of a dizzy heart
So near is joy to sadness,
And happy tears in trimming eyes
But that is only gladness.

TO-DAY s INSTALLMENT.

The tension of a moment grew, be-
came pervasive Burke, accustomed
as he was to scenes of dramatic Vlo-
lence, now experienced an altogether
unfamiliar thrill. AS for Carson once
again the surge of feeling threatened
to overwhelm his self control. He
must not break down, For Marys
sake he must show himself stoical
quite undisturbed in this supreme
hour.
OF a sudden an inspiration came to
him, a means to snap. the tension, to
create a diversion wholly efficacious.
He would turn to his Boosting again,
would call upon his vanity, which he
knew we'll as his chief foible, and
make it serve as the foil against his
love. He strove manfully to throw
off the softer mood. In a measure, at
least, he won the fight-though al
ways, under the rush of this vaunt-
ing, there throbbed the anguish of
his heart

A conservative estimate of the work

would easily set before us the follow

our present membership of 1866 to

should have at least $25 900 endow-
ment. The Idaho convention has al
ready committed itself to the policy
of bringing up it's missionary giving
to the standard of the Laymen' s
movement, $500 per member per
annum, and we propose to stay on the
Job until we succeed. We feel very
confident that the figures for 1913
will show substantial gain in the per
capita giving over the 1921 reported
here. II this objective Is reached and

our programme for the expansion for

Idaho demands that If our Baptist
work shall even hold its own, We must
look ahead and plan for q term of

question but that the next ten years
will witness far larger growth and
greater developments in Idaho, than
the last decade has seen. The pro-
gress of this state is only in the days
Of its infancy. Within two or three
years, we shall be doubling the fruit

our principal industries. Irrigation

If there is not to be much of a
change in taxes, after all, property
owners can derive some satisfaction
that they got a new experiment from
the last legislature, and that might
help some. We also got a nice little
tax commission an utilities commits
sion and an educational commission,
and a highway commission, and a

other commissions, while the holders

is all right and a good thing. Full
license to spend public money because

growth in membership. The total
amount raised for all purposes shows
an increase of Psi per cent. There has
been a constant substantial proper
tionate increase in the support OF mis-
sions. While our membership has
increased 81 per cent, our missionary
contributions show a gain of ZIG per
cent. 1t has seemed necessary to put
special emphasis upon the develop
ment of our state mission work dur
ing this period, and as result, there
has been a larger increase in offerings
for state missions than in the offerings
for the general SOCIETIES. But the es-
Enlistment and development Of our
local churches, resulting principally
from the aggressive work of our state
convention, has greatly swelled the
income from Idaho for the general
SC cieties, and we til Tx very far
proportion has been maintained De-
tween the various missionary objects.
The increase for state missions was
1882 per cent, for foreign missions 1873
per cent, and home missions ITO per
cen. The per capita giving for mis-
sions had increased from $1.38 to So
81. This includes only regular Of
ferings from the churches, and does
not take account of individual and
special contributions. The increase
in the volume of state mission work
is indicated by the fact that the num-
Der of workers commissioned last year
was 1873 per cent more than five years
ago. and the weeks of labor report
ed, 157 per cent more. 1t would GER
tainly seem fair to arrive at the gener-
al growth by taking the average in
creases in the fourteen aspects of
work given above. If this is done,
then the actual average growth of our
denomination has been 1875 per cent.
The progress of the past has been
gratifying, and we give thanks unto
the Lord because He has done great
things for us. But, at the same time,
we are we'll nigh depressed because
of our lack of sufficient resources to
accomplish ell that we ought to in the
light of wonderful opportunities op
en- on every hand. Lack of sufficient
money to support the work, is the only
hindrance to entering many new COM
munities and organizing many new
churches. A large number of church
edifices should be built at once and
there is crying need for parsonages
on numerous fields. 1t would require
many new workers to accomplish
these additional results. But they
could be found If the money was
available to support them. Let me
