Love the LeveIer.

And say unto you, brethren: there
Is one crucible in which many unlike
things become like, and even as one
another, and that is Marriage
And in the crucible, Marriage, many
men adjust themselves to things and
conditions that once did gall. Even as
though they were hitched in harness,
thus doth the crucible to many men.
And, strange to say, O my brethren,
many of these men in the crucible hold
themhelves as among the happy and
blessed of the earth. So that one Is
most often moved to wonder and to
marvel.
For while men set down their sig
natures with a great flourish beneath
national declarations Of independence,
magni chart and sundry bills Of
rights In the great private crucible,
that is Marriage, these men surrender
most often their freedom, even unto
the last vestige, there in the crucible
to simmer, render and splitter, with
vast contentment Of soul. Selah.-L.

IDAHO'S STATESMEN

Idaho's delegation in Washington

Representatives French and
Smith with their thoro knowledge OF
state affairs and their untiring
activity in behalf of the interests OF
the people of the state regardless OF
political affiliations, give us service
of which everybody who has given 1t
serious thought is justly proud.
Senators Borah and Gooding are
national characters dealing with
national problems and studying in
ternational questions that are of
vital Importance to us. Senator
Borah is one of the. leaders in
American craftsmanship regarding
matters affecting the peace OF the
world and the causes of conflicts.
His knowledge Of world history for
1000 years and the rise and fall OF
nations, enables him to look at a
given situation between or among
nations, and predicate its future. He
goes into detail and tells what effect
certain legislation or treaties will
have on the agricultural classes and
the manufacturing industries, and
points to the decline or unfolding OF

HANDSPRING OF THE WORLD!
Writer's Tribute to the Heart Of a
Woman ls Worthy Place In
Any Scrapbook.

First, the heart Of a woman is differ
ent from any other kind Of heart in all
the world.
It's bigger, it's more tender, It's
more various" It's more susceptible.
It's more tolerant It's more long
suffering. It's more kind. It's more
generous. It's more lovable. It's more
wonderful-tha any other sort of
heart.
The heart of a woman is the heart
Of hearts.
If you would know what real SUI
fering is, find woman's heart that
has been broken. Look there into the
ashes of its ruins and you shall know.
Also, If you would learn Of the super
lative sweetness Of happiness, again
search for the heart of a woman who
has found the gold behind the glitter
Of love, and there you shall see such
wonder as your eyes have never be-
fore seen.
For again I say that there is no
heart like unto the heart of woman.
Its patience is that of Job, plus that Of
a dozen worlds. And it's suffering and
forgetting power is greater than the
crystallized power Of the sun, the
moon, and all the stars.
Through gentleness 1t breathes.
Through strength It walks.
But the greatest thing about the
great heart Of woman is its love. Its
walls are lined with it. Its furnishings
are Of love in its entirety. While, If
you would but peep into the heart Of
woman where love is, such fragrance
would greet your senses as Of the
rarest myrrh. And you would believe
that heaven is here and now.
The heart Of woman Is the main
spring of the world George Matthew
Adams in the Pictorial Review.

national wealth and natioal welfare
under the conditions 1t will create.
With the light of the internal
history of nations in mind, he takes
the experience of the world as his
measure and without regard for the
opinions of others he lays down a
barrage of information that chal-
lenges the best minds In the senate
to perforate. In those matters he
stands among the other statesmen
as confident of his position as would
be a surveyor with steel tapeline
measuring distances in competition
with others using flexible cotton
rope. Others may disagree with
him, but as he asks them for their
authority for their premises and
notes the babble of differences
among them he is undisturbed and
is willing to wait.
Senator Gooding is new in the
senate, but he has been more or less
national character for at least
fifteen years, since the great fight
arising from the assassination Of
former Governor Steunenberg.
Gooding is student of industries
and commerce. He is for America
first and the others afterwards. He
is for the masses first and trusts
that the big fellows will get their
share or become smaller and be pro-
tected along with the masses.
Gooding and Borah are at vari-
ance in their views of how to pro-
mote commerce among the nations
in these troubled times. If we
understand them correctly, G0oding
is for high tariffs, as high as may be
necessary to keep American in
dustries protected and to maintain
the high standard of living in
America. If we understand Borah's
position, he takes the view that
prosperity depends upon a condition
of activity in production in all lines
of industry in all the nations so that
there may be flowing great streams
of commodities in exchange across
the boundaries and across the seas.
And he believes that wherever a
tariff wall is erected to interrupt
the flow of exchange of commodities,
whether the products of the soil or
the factories or the fruit of the vines
or the yield of the mines, 1t puts
somebody out Of employment and
puts them out Of the buying class
and that in turn puts others out Of
employment in the country, where
the tariff wall was erected. II we
understand Senator Borah he
sounds note of warning against
that practice even for our own pre-
servation and questions whether or
not it really preserves.
Gooding and Borah are two out

brought her an uncomfortable surprise.

found herself facing slim girl whose

eyes. Eyes, suppose 1t does"

evenings later. when. as she was leav-

She demurred, but he was inslstent.
and she followed him.
"Now, answer like good girl he
ordered. did Miss Raymond come to
see you-about me?"
She refused to answer, but his gray,
keen eyes read the truth. He leaned
back in his chair and looked at her
with thoughtful eyes. But his thoughts
were beyond her reading.
He spent the evening with her, and
a happy one 1t was. 1t left her with
curiously mixed feelings for he said
on leaving her:
"Beth, there is one lucky chap in
the world, and he Is the chap who
slipped that ring on your finger. Good
night" '
The last surprise was the greatest
of all. She had stopped in the hall
of her house and was looking over the
mail piled on the usual table. The
day had been weafying one at the
office, and she was lazily shutting the
letters.
Suddenly she was seized from be-
hind by two strong arms, pinioned
close, her face turned, and her lips
kissed.
She struggled away and turned on
her assailant who stood before her
smiling and at the same time bit
worried.
'Doni"
Forgive me, Beth, 1t did seem SO
good to see you and"
"But-"
II have just learned Of my one-time
fiancee's engagement, that sets me
free. And as for you, little girl, lei

She held out her hand doubtfully
and saw him quietly remove the ring.
"That was mothers foolish scheme
to have you wear her engagement ring
to protect you from undesirable men.
1 went to see her and she told me. 1t
did keep some men from annoying you,
Beth, but I am going to annoy you
until you say you love me-"
He was speaking lightly but his eyes
were tender and wistful.
Beth was confused but she managed
to say: "You won't have to annoy me
very long. Don!"

Don Seaver was a puzzle to Beth
