D. Repartee is a thing we should all
wish to cultivate. 1t will do much to
enliven each moment of the day
How many times we go thro the hum
drum of the days routine with scarce
ly a thought of bringing cheer and
smiles to others! A droll retort, a
witty answer, how it is relished, Let
us resolve to start tomorrow in bright
er spirits. Let us agree that when
we get on the car in the morning we
will greet the conductor with some
little pleasantly, such as What ho,"
And that when the man with the
newspaper in front of us turns round
to glare we will say, in a nice way,
Il see you are reading about the
creamed pea situation" Nothing dis
turbs the composure of the man of
ready wit. One is reminded of the
witty retort made by Lord Bough-
nedd, the we'll known English peer,
who upon being asked what was his
favorlte flower, convulsed those about

MILITARY TRAINING IN OREGON
Credits May Be Given Students For
Taking Prescribed Military Course

SALEM, Ore, Feb. II. - Military
training in the high schools of the
state is authorized in a bill which
was passed by the house of the Oregon
legislature Saturday with big affirm
alive vote.
The military course is not to be
compulsory, however, on the part
either of schools or of students. 1t
is to be the subject, though, of suit
able credit on the same basis as other
studies and in an amount to be de-
termined by the board of education.
The governor is made head of the
military training department. All
schools that establish it must apply to
him for authority. No company of
cadets can be organized with fewer
than 20 members or without a suit
able instructor. At least three hours
a week are to be set aside for the
course.

BOISE, Feb. 12-Representative A.

asking the legislature to authorize
the calling of a constitutional conven-
ton for the new state to be created
out of north Idaho. All names to the
house and senate petitions were sign
ed with the golden pen and it is plan
ned, if the proposed state materializes,

EATING an Egg.

Is there any corner Of the earth
where the homely egg has not found
it's way? 1t forms a substantial food
to all nations, and it is not curious that
different nationalities have different
ways Of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to a Spaniard. He boils
his egg just one minute, then breaks
the contents into a glass and drinks 1t
as If it were wine. The Italians place
their egg in cold water and remove 1t
Just as the water boils. Then they
break it on a plate and eat it with
bread.
English cooking prevails in France
In regard to the egg. Three minutes
in boiling water is the rule. 1t Is then
broken into a glass and mixed togeth-
err with salt. pepper and butter.-Lon-
