Mothers Doll Story
The Sugar Doll

One winter day Jack Frost said to a little sugar doll, Come oA out ill the garden, and 1 win play with you"
 Now, the sugar doll was very lonely because she Eever had any one to Day with. All the china dolls ard tie rag dolls and tie kid dolls played together, you see.
 So now the sugar coil was dAlightel with Jack Frcst's kind invitation "wait till get on my ruIbers," she called back to him through Il crack iu the nursery window.
 Soon as sae reached the yard lack Frost beckcrcd her around behind thc dog house. where the other dolls in the nursery could rot see them. Tl!on h2 shouted. "Run now, for nm going to snowr
 Then beautiful little round damp snowballs began to fall on the sugar dolls coat She held out her tiny hands to catch some, und then she threw them right ut Jack Frost's head
 They had a lovely time SnOwballing each other till--Snap!-the SnOw6allS turned into ralldrops. They beat upon the sugar dolls head and her legs till she just ran away in. little puddle that tasted just like sweetencd water

Disrasli and Gladstone.

MT. Shaw Leslie. an Irish author, tells the following:
 "My grandfather witnessed an effect i've piece of play in the house during duel between Disraen and Gladstone. During a heated flight of oratory Glad stone upset some pens on the table be tween them. Disraen rose and, calling attention to the fact, slowly replaced them one by one The effect of Glad stones speech was lost by the time Disraeh had finished"
 Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray, MT. Leslie says:
 My grandfather recalled the Judi crous incident which brought them to- gether. As they both left the Athe- naeum, unknown to each other they seized the same hat. The effect was ludicrous enough to appeal even to pro fessional humorists, and they shook hands"

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an old One

The back aches at times with a dull, .ndescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that t" stoop is agony. No use 10 rub or apply plaster to the back IF the kidneys are waek. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do we'll to profit by the following example.
 Mrs. G. G. Fosdick, 6015 s. Law renee St., Tacomt, Wash, says: My back was so sore and painful that if wanted to take up anything from the floor, had to get down on my knees. There was a lump about the size Nf a dollar over each of my kidneys and this made my back so tender and sore that I could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me. At night I could scarcely turn in bed and mornings was so lame and sore that could hardly get around. These troubles were brought on by a cold settling in my kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me-"

The first birds to begin to nest are the bald eagle (FlOridal, the golden eagle Gin California;, ], and the great horned owl. These birds begin to nest as early as the first week in January, and the Canada jay the last week in February. So you see the little feath- cred folks are busy housekeeping dur ing the first five months of the year, as the last bird to sit upon the nest is the American goldfnch, laying its eggs during the second week of June.

MILITARY TRAINING

When the news of the battle ot New Orleans reached France, Napol' con sent an expert to examine and rentrt what kind of guns the Am orleans used in the battle. He re- ported back that they were simply the LId long barreled rifles. "Ah, " sA'L Napoleon, |" it was the men behind the guns"
 Admiral Dewey wanted a West PoiD- education. There was no vacancy at the military academy, SC he elected to become an accomplish cd sailor. He went under Farragut almCst as soon as he was out of school, and had a wonderful post graduate course under that master Then fer thirty-four years he fol lowed, by sea and land, the routine Of his duties until the opportunity came, and then in a short hour he won immortality.
 These two incidents ought to supply good arguments to show that the strength of a nation is it's peo- Dle, and hence that all its people should be trained to be capable de lenders.
 The preliminary training should be in the public schools; then a more perfect training should be ill inc high schools and universi- ties. Through that the needed training would be obtained; thru that the natural soldiers would be discovered; the needed men found to train vast army if the call came for such an army. Thus would the whole nation in few years have the necessary prelimin- ary training for any emergency. Int knowledge of this world makes the strongest foreign powers hesi, tat? before engaging in war with the United States.
 t is difficult to understand why any one should object to the edu- cation of a boy in the preliminary duties of a soldier. We suspect it is the same objection that causes a mother to neglect to teach her daughter cooking and housekeeping he reasoning being that she is al- ways going to be a lady and such training is unnecessary, and be- sides it is liable to coarsen her hands.
 The result, not infrequently, is that the girl is liable to be taken advantage of by ignorant and mali ciOus servants all her life, and her want of knowledge of a few needed things cause her constant heartaches.
 No one ever regretted having learned one useful accomplishment. -CoTdoYa Times.

WOMEN QUESTION
FINEGAN'S ELECTION
Claim Made That He Re-
ceived Just SO Per Cent
of the Vote-No Intention
of Carrying Matter to the
Courts.

The city council canvassed Satur
Tuesday and officially declared Mayor
Hays re-elected together with Council
men Thomas Finegan and William D..
Stevens. The canvass made little
change over the vote cast as unofficial
ly reported by the Capital News the
day following the election, Mayor
Hays is given a total vote of 1926, one
less than the total given him by the
Capital News. He had a clear major
ity over his opponents and his plur-
ality was 4S3. Ernest G. Eagleson's
total vote was 1886 and that of Charles
Clifton "a. The official count gave
Eagleson 100 votes in the Fourth pre-
cinct instead of 1876 as had previously
been reported.
For city councilman the following
total vote for each was announced
after the canvass had been completed:
Thomas Finegan ................21 55
William d. Stevens 1892
ii. M. Buck So. ..'.''.''''''' 1893
Helen CoSton ...,.............. 1851
The canvassing board was at some
what of a loss to determine the exact
vote cast in precinct No. 6 for Miss
Coston. One set of books credited her
with 800 votes and another with 295.
Councilman Finegan's plurality was
SIS and that of Councilman Stevens
467. Immediately after the canvass of
the vote Miss Nancy Robertson, city
clerk, administered the oath of office

upon our established rights
and liberties.
OF equal importance with that of
providing men, arms and equipment is
that of insuring an adequate supply
of food for our nation. Real prepared
ness means the most careful attention
must be paid at once given to the pro-
ducing from the soil that which will
sustain life and no better opportunity
was ever given loyal citizens of our
great country to show evidence of their
true patriotism than that the present
now offers for every man, woman and
child to give the best there Is in them
by aiding in the production of food.
Our citizens are just emerging from
an exceptionally hard winter in which
there has been a shortage of forage
causing a condition that the planting
of our crops has really become a prob
lem that we must solve as patriotic
citizens in the interest of all and not
the few. This affords excellent OPP
portunity for those who have feed that
they can spare their neighbors to do
so for a fair consideration. that will
not be prohibitive and thus become
benefactors of the people and the
state. With a sure conviction that all
citizens will be prompt to act for the
good of their country and knowing
that organized effort is effective in
the service to the greater numbers
concerned,
DATE FOR MEETINGS.

governor of the state of Idaho, do here

of the county commissioners, county
agricultural agents, county superin-
tendent of schools, an officer from
each bank and all agricultural organi-
cations and a representative from all
the business houses in the county, at
the county seat, to organize by the
election of a chairman and secre-
tary and the appointment of proper
committees for the purpose of obtain
ing the fullest possible food produc-
ton in each part of the county.
To appoint a central committee of
ways and means with local committees
in each precinct whose duties shall be
to devise ways and means by which
the lands may be prepared, the crops
planted and cared for and who will see
that the fullest advantage is taken of
every opportunity to increase the sup
ply of food products.
That the local committees In each
precinct make arrangements for a pa
triotic rally to be held on some future
day for the purpose of planning action
that will be of most benefit to the dis
trict and nation by way of encourage
mcnt in agricultural preparedness.
That the state oranges, farmers
equity, farmers unions, commercial
clubs and all other organizations in
spired with a patriotic purpose be in
vited to participate in this service.
That the state department Of agri-
culture, the state department of farm
markets, the state agricultural college
in all its branches and all others serv-
ing the agricultural needs of this state
support this movement.
TO MEET DEMANDS.
That steps be taken by all these
active committees throughout the state
