HAPPINESS FOR THE AGED
Many Ways by Which Those About
Thorn May Bring Pleasure Into
Their Lives.

A medical authority is of the opin-
ion that the aged should receive from
the physician and from the humani-
tartan . sympathy and support that
will help and cheer them. The old
man should be induced to improve his
appearance. His sense of pride should
be stimulated. Those around him
should, without too great departure
from actual truth, tell him how young
he looks. An effort should be made
to keep his mind pleasantly employed.
The tonic effect of local happening,
which engages the attention of the
community, on the aged who are
reused to a stronger interest In cur
rent affairs is often quite salutary.
They thus have something to think
about, to talk about They are taken
away from the past and again are in
the living present. The aged woman
rarely becomes as gloomy and de-
pressed as the old man. She has a
place in the activities of the house

mans life. When through age a
mans occupation is gone, it is diff
cult for him to adjust himself to the
idleness that follows and to make that

Washington, May 5.-General Car
rama and the Constitutionalists were
eliminated from proceedings OF the
three South American ENJOYS who
have undertaken to solve the Mexican
problem by mediation.
1t is known also that the United
States, refusing to agree to a formal
armistice or permit any question OF
national honor to 60 before the con
ferees, may decline to name medi-

Up to late hour last night Bryan
had not replied to the mediators as
to the appointment of American dele
gates. The length of the ENJOYS con
ference with Secretary Bryan led to
the belief that some of the crucial
questions We're being approached.
At the same time the military as
pect of the situation became increas-
ingly prominent again. General Funs-
ton reported renewed demands by the
Mexican federal outposts for the sur
render of the waterworlss supplying
Vera Cruz. No shots were fired, and
the Mexicans retreated. General Funs-
ton, after receiving information that
federal troops were moving artillery
down the railroad from the capital
toward Vera Cruz, probably for Gen
eral Gustavo Mas at Soledad. con-
ferred with the officers Of the fleet.

General Funston voiced the pre-
vailing spirit in military quarters in
inquiring as to what steps the United
States contemplated, in view of the
threatening situation.
Secretary Garrison conferred with
his military chiefs, but said no fur
ther orders had been given for the
movement of troops, and none are con-
templated during the period of nego-
tiations The Fourth or Sixth brigade

straits came from many quarters. One
dispatch frcm a foreign minister at
Mexico City said briefly Of Huerta:
Position desperate" but gave no de-
tails. Still another referred to the
doubtful attitude of the troops here
tofore loyal to Huerta.
Information also came tnat the
quarrels between General Banquet,
minister of war, and Huerta, might
bring Banquet to the front in the
event of Huerta's fall, much as Huerta
rose on the collapse of the Madero
regime and the Felix DiaZ movement.
The South American mediators held
three sessions during the day and
night, announcing through Secretary
Bryan that General Huerta had desig
mated D. Emilio Rabasa, an eminent
Mexican jurist; Augustin Rodriguez
and Luis Elguro as his delegates to
confer with the mediators.
In telegram to General Carranza,
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armis.ice
with General Huerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send per-
sonal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations.

new SECRETARY FOR
Y. N. c. A. IN CHARGE

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton of Boise again has a general sec
rotary at its head. L. A. Ehrensberger,
formerly of New York, but late of Pine
Bluff, Ark, where he spent the past Is
months and made great record in as
ISOLATION work in that city, took hold
of the work of the local association
today.
Mr.. Ehrensberger Is clean cut bus
mess man with wide experience in as
ISOLATION work and a man who has
made a success as a general secretary
with every association with which he
has been connected. For some time the
directors of the local association have
been looking about for a man who
could handle the association here-a
man of progressive type and spirit
and they believe they have secured him
in the person of the new secretary.
When Mr.. Ehrensberger took charge
OF the Pine Bluff association Is months
ago. 1t had membership of 241 and
at the close of his term when he ten
dered his resignation to accept the
position here, the membership was
673. He was an active member of the
Chamber of Commerce and the board
OF charities and kept the association
well to the front in the city of 10000
Consequently much Is expected OF him
here.
w. II. Beach, who has given his at
tention to the local association for
nearly a year, has made a good officer
and will still continue active In the as
ISOLATION. He accepted the secretary
ship temporarily, giving up work in an
other line to handle IL and so efficient
were his services that the board held
him until confident just the kind OF q
man for whom they were looking had
been secured.

for in this as in all other things. there
is a way.
Perhaps I cannot do better in pur-
suance of a plan than to point out in
what the imitation of Christ does not
consist, in order the more clearly to
portray what believe to be involved in
it.
THE imitation of Christ consists in
such a union with Him that His spirit
may take form in us: expressed not
in petrified rule, drawn from the ac-
cidents of His earthly career which
assumes an authority imposed from
without, but expressed as all life has
been given the power to express it
self, from within after the law of its
own being. This is the liberty wherein
Christ has made us free This is the
freedom of spirit Of which Paul loves
to speak, and he who walketh after
this example in the imitation of Christ
1ooleth into the perfect law of lib
erty.'
Let me conclude with the words
taken from a touching unfinished SER
mon of DIR. Hale, the great Congrega-
tional divine that was found upon his
desk the day after his death:
"Unworldliness does not consist in
the most rigid and conscientious OBJ
servances any external rules Of con-
duct, but in the spirit and temper and
in the habit of living created by the
vision of God, by constant fellowship
with Him. by a personal and vivid ex-
perience of the greatness of the Chris
tian redemption, by the settltd pur-
nose to do the will of God ALWAYS In
all things, at all costs and by the power
of the great hope, with full assurance
that after our mortal years are spent
there is a larger, fuller, richer life in
and there the sermon stopped. There
seems to be an aptness and eloquence
in what was written He was evident
lily looking steadfastly to another and
more glorious life hereafter"

by long usage and common acceptance
come to mean courtesy and respect
shown to that country itself When we
say that we love our flag we really
mean that we love our country and
when we teach our children to do 1t
honor we are but intoxicating in them
that love of country which has its
highest exemplificatibn in patriotic
willingness to give even life itself In
defense of our flag, W hich we have low
ingly learned to call Old Glory.
Wherefore, I, John M. Haines, gov
ernor of the state of Idaho, In accord
ance with established custom and for
the purpose of calling attention in a
manner to the Importance of the les
sons which Its observance teaches, have
the honor to designate and set aside
Monday, June 18th, aS Flag day and TO
recommend Its general observance by
our people. May the usual exercises he
held in all our schools, both public and
private, and may our national flag be
flung to the breeze from every flag
staff within the state, and be made to
outwardly adorn the home. however i'm
posing or however humble OF every
citizen Of our state.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed
the Great Seal of the state of Idaho.

While several Uf the store windows
in Boise have exhibits of relics of the
civil war and the displays are Great
ing much attention and favorable COM
ment, probably the largest individual
display was that shown by Sergeant A.
]. Hofflinger in the window of the
Wilson Smith Realty company. Most
of the relics In the exhibition were
gathered by the war veteran after the
war. although he has several which
he carried through the war, one of
which is small torn sack in which
he used to carry his coffee. In a
conflict one day shell struck the cof-
fee sack, tearing a portion of 1t away,
and he believes that 1t was only the
coffee which he carried at that time
which saved his life. 1t is one of the
old soldiers jokes to say that he does
not consider coffee Injurious as 1t at
one time saved his Life. Another SOU
venir that Is highly valued by the vet
eran is an apron of red, white and
blue which was given as prize by a
northern lassie to the winner OF a foot
race among the soldiers. Having at
tended many encampments, he has Sc
cured large number OF buttons and
last year he was present ut the re
union OF the north and south at Get
tysburg and there secured many more
relics for his display, among which
is view of the reunion in the great
battlefield.
