POLITICAL CHAT FROM BOISE

Boise, June 13.--A call has been is
sued for meeting of the Republican
State central committee, to be held in
Boise, on Tuesday, June 81, when mat
ters of Importance will be discussed
and preliminary arrangements for the
State campaign will be determiend
Chairman Evan Evans, who has re-
turned from visit to Washington, D.
G., and attendance at the national con-
vention in Chicago, has gone to his
home in Grangevillc, but will probably
be in Boise in about week for stay
of some length. Mr.. Evans feels that
the nomination of Hughes by the Re-
publicans is meeting with a greater de-
gree of satisfaction. enthusiasm and
earnest support throughout the east
ern and middle western States of any
national nomination in many years.
There was general confidence expressed
by all who attended the Republican con-
vention, and many of those who were
delegates to the Progressive convention
over the decision that had been reached.
The two platforms adopted seemed to
those in attendance but one document
written by different hands.
The Ada county central committee
met this afternoon and elected fifteen
delegates to the State platform con-
vention, which is to be held in Boise
on June y. The delegates elected rep.
resent all shades of factional feeling
There was a very large attendance at
the committee meeting, and the gen.
eral discussion among those present was
of decidedly enthusiastic character iu
regard to both nation and the State.
Hon. G. c. Cavanaugh, who was in
Chicago during the recent convention
arrived home this morning. He brought
the news that Senator Borah was one
of the leading figures in Chicago dur
ing the exciting times witnessed, and
was recognized not only by the Repub
,licans but by the Progressivcs as the
actual head of the tacit coalition which
has resulted from the meeting of the
two conventions. 1t was through his
influence, as much ss all others, that
extreme action was prevented, leaving
the way open for consolidation of in
terest which will result in the return
of the former Progressives> to the fold

all of these are to be in readiness in a
few days. According to orders re-
ceived, the Idaho guardsmen assembled
in camp at Boise yesterday. The mill
tia are ordered out for service north Of
the Rio Grande, but on assembling a
new oath will be administered which
will compel them to cross into Mexico
if so ordered, and members Of the vari-
Gus companies not desiring to take such
oath will be dropped and other recruits
taken who will take such oath.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January LADY Anne Halkstt
By MARY MARSHALL

Lady Anne Halkett. born January 4.
1s22, was the youngest daughter Of
Thomas Murray. son of SJames I. and
later provost of Eaton College. She was
born In London and became prominent as
a writer on religious subjects and a
strong royalist.
Her father died when she was three and
she was carefully educated by her
mother. She and her sisters were sent
to accomplished masters to learn dancing
and French and to play the Lutte, and
they were also taught to do fine needle
work. as every lady of the time was
taught.
Lady Halkett always attached great
Importance to her early religious train
ing. She seldom missed going to church
every day. at hye In the morning In sum-
mer, and at six in winter, and we are
forced to believe that she must have had
a naturally strong religious bent to en-
joy this rather rigorous discipline.
Her interest in the poor was very
great and, realizing that she could be OF
much greater assistance to them II she
understood how to care for their physi-
cal ailments, she studied physic and
surgery, and became SO accomplished as
a physician that she was consulted from
end to end of the British Isles and also
on the continent. After the battle OF
Dunbar she received special thanks from
the king for her services to the wounded
and sick.
She was married when she was thirty
four to Sir James Halkett. At her death
she left about twenty volumes In manu-
script, chiefly on religious subjects.
