been agreed that Mrs. Marlowe was to
be allowed to supply the trousseau as

was foolish for Alice to spend from
her small income for clothes that Mrs.
Marlowe was only too anxious to give.
And Alice knew that various lovely
garments had been selected and laid
by In a big cedar chest In Mrs. Mar

Eyes" Alice said In answer to both
questions, and there was sincerity In
her tones.
"When? 2" Lawrence asked again.
"Juiy."
And that was settled.
Since the announcement of the en-
Fasement some time before, Alice had
been entertained quite O bit by tho
friends whom Lawrence had known.
This had necessitated still more In
roads into the little bank account. for
Alice found she had to have suitable
dresses, 80 Lawrence would not fell

Mrs. Manlowe had tried to supply
these, too, but Alice refused, allowing
her, however to give the trousseau.
The one complete evening costume
she had. In addition. with Clara's help,
she bought a suit n a hat and low
shoes and new gloves. And with this
abe managed to go through a Spring
of great f~estivity--for her. She still
had not learned to FIX herself up" as
shs called 1t. but she was improving.
But now q period of greater &C
tiyity began. There WAS little enter
tanning as the warm weather came on,
for which Alice was grateful. But
Alice was in constant demand at the
Marlowes' for fittings OF pretty. sum-
merry dresses. Her measurements were
carefully taken and sent to a fashion
able tailor for q lark sut-she sus-
pected the one she had bought was not
quite smart" enough-and dainty
blouses with quantities of handwork
were being made. Mrs. Marlowe, with

never had O moment to spare for this
and they decided that II could walt.

I'm not very good but l can teach you
a little. and we'll ave some delightful

No wonder Alice was happy. She
was to be q member of the country
club of course, when b was mar
ried; she went there now and then
with Mrs. Marlowe and tried to re-
member the names and faces of the
rany people she met. She felt she
neither looked nor acted, yet. like one
of them, but she was wise enough not
TO let this trouble her.
They know I've been poor. n I'm
mot ashamed Of IT," she told Lawrence.
You're a dear. Every day you say
or do something to make me lov you
more" he burst out.
Alice was pleased at this confession.
Then II worried her. She still felt at
times she had no right to take Law
I~rence's love when she could not. try as
she would. return 1t absolutely. The
old affection still chung to her-She
could not forget David.
Yet she was bound now to Lawrence
by ties of friendship, of graft

convention of her engagement. She
had to marry him.
And. of course, h would. and make

WHERE BOOSTING Is AN Art.

A short time ago F. e. Hadley, ed.
itor and proprietor of the Winnebago
City, (Minn.) Enterprise, spent several
days in Oroville the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. l.. Perrizo. while on the tour
OF the west. Mr.. Hadley, who IL not
only a bright writer but a good deal
OF humorist, wrote numerous letters
to his paper descriptive of the country
and things that came under his obser-
vation, and he Is some observer, too,
by-the-way OF the booster spirit of
the people of Oroville he thus sings
in letter written for his paper from
this place:
This is the native heath .of the
booster. Boosters here spring from the
soil, grow on the trees and hang on
the caves. Everywhere you go you will
find booster. They hide in the caves,
and hibernate behind rocks. They gen.
orally arise for the day about four
o'clock, before the suns rays kiss the
mountain peaks good morning From
then on until late at night they are
working over time at their boosting

outgoing trains. They flag passing air
ships and stop all strange automobiles
From dewy morn until starry eve. they
chant anthems of praise. They idolize
the sage brush and the ubiquitous
greasewood; they idolize the red-faced
apple; they lift the Lutte and blow forth
a fanfare of praise for the alfalfa:
they choral hymn of Thanksgiving
for the climate, which burneth like a
pillar of fire in summer and is colder
than a rich uncle in the winter; they
chant minstrel lays of their mountains
which make the Alps look like a Da-
kota prairie. Some of the boosters have
learned to talk in their sleep, hence
they lose no time, and have solved the
problem of perpetual boosting. And,
let me say right here that If we had
more of this spirit at home, Minnesota
would be more crowded than the aver.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

BY request of VIM. Goodyear, editor
and publisher of the Pullman Herald.
Pullman, Wash, the Gazette gives
space to the following article from
the pen of Mr.. Goodyer regarding the
candidacy of Judge Beck:
Citizens of Whitman county will
be interested in the candidacy of w.
T. Beck of Republic for the office of
superior judge for the district includ-
ing Ferry and Okanogan counties. Mr..
Beck formerly practiced law in this
county and won wide circle Of
friends by his ability, integrity and
fearless championship of moral leg
islation and progressive policies. In
the trying times between 1892 and
1899, in which year he moved to Fer
ry county, he was a prominent factor
in the politics of this section. His
forceful personality, his eloquence as
a public speaker, his high ideals of
the ethics of law and citizenship made
him an Influential member of the
community and quickly won recog-
milton in his new home.
In 1900 he was elected city attor-
ney of Republic and was thrice re-
elected to that office In 1908 he was
elected prosecuting attorney Of Fer
ry county and served one term, re.
fusing to be candidate for reelection
because of the rapidly increasing de-
mands of his private practice In 1908
he was admitted to practice before the
supreme court of the United States
and has appeared before that august
body in several important cases.
His old friends in this county be-
lieve that he is admirably qualified
for the judicial office which he is now
seeking, not only because Of his mark
ed ability and wide experience as q
lawyer, but also because of his fear
lessness, his thoroughness and his
| discriminating sense of right and
justice. They feel confident that II
elected, he will preside on the bench
with the same honesty, courage and
fairness, which won their confidence
and esteem when he was a young
man. just starting on his legal career
They believe that he is a worthy can.
didate and that he possesses the requi-
site qualifications to make him an en-
inently satisfactory Judge"
