"ABBOU DAT."
' An Interesting Program Rendered at
Miss Warren' Select School.
The celebration of "Arbor Day" at
Miss Warren's select school on Friday
last .was an occasion of most Interest
ing and appropriate exercises, which
reflected great credit upon both teacher
and pupils.
From the early morning hours the
, school rooms were filled with busy
workers, and by 1 o'clock the class
rooms: had been converted Into verit
able bowers of foliage and flowers by
the willing and deft hands of the stu
dents and their friends. The exercises
were opened by an address delivered by
Miss Wurrrn, after which the following
program was ably rendered: Song,
"America," by the school; recitation,
"Brave Oak," Marion Lewis; recitation,
Harry Flavel; song, "Hunting Song,1

Not a small feature of the day's ex

' bright, animated faces of the little ones
forming a most lovely setting to this
picture of "Nature's Festival."
COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Meet and Name Delegates to the State
Convention Yesterday.
The local adherents of the grand old
party of Jefferson and Jackson met at
Fisher's hall yesterday morning and
held their county convention for the
purpose of appointing delegates to the
state convention. Before they got down
to business they smoked a great many
sewer de bouquet cigars, until the air
was blue, and Joined In the chorus,
"What Shall the Harvest Be?" until
they were hoarse.
Then the trouble commenced. City
Attorney Smith, Ben Young and other
statesmen all rose at the same moment
and nominated Dr. Liberty P. Mul
llnlx (late of Washington, D. C), for
temporary chairman. This remarkable
concensus or consolidation of opinion
palpably pleased the roseate doctor, and
he blushed clear around to the arm
holes of his vest. After he had been
unanimously elected, and when he
,11 m lit the ripsk. his necktie was heard
to click In a noisy and stentorlous man
ner.
The doctor brushed the tears away
from his eyes, and in a voice that was
momentarily warped with emotion he
said he ."gave thanks for the unso
licited honor tendered him; If the
Democrats nominated good men there
would be no telling what might happen
In the next June election. Why, maybe
we would get a Democratic congress
man. The county needed more states
men In Washington." He noticed this
particularly In walking home, and he
thought there was no better batch of
Democrats anywhere than here In Clat
sop county,
There whs a yell of approval at these
sentiments, for the doctor had, in his
usual happy way started everything
right by putting all the delegates In
good humor.
C. R. Thomson, O. Sovey, J. W. So-
vey, J, W. Walker, C. Jlottom and John
Miller were appointed a committee on
credentials by the chairnuin.
On permanent organization the fol
lowing composed the committee: Her

The chairman then appointed the fol

Noland, J. H. Smith. Dr. Alf. Kinney
and J. W. Walker.
The convention then adjourned, to
meet on Monday, April 30, at 2 p. m.
C, J, Curtis and several other good
Republicans were present as Interested

that would have to tie made.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
There Is some talk of holding a coun

the last week tn April, and the many
friends of the kindergarten work will

SUNDAY SERMONS.
Some Sensible Suggestions to Married
Women and Those Whci Expect
To Be Married.
LAUGHING BABIES
TOO LONO. TO WAIT.
The editor Of .an eastern paper. . t) ho
evidently has plenty, of time on his
bit mitt, gives the fullowlug advice:
elm makes a nice tree tn about .twenty
Do guard against Jealousy. It Is a
green-eyed monster, seeing what does
not exist, and impelling to dire rage
and despair.
Do try to like your husband's friends
and relatives, and not set your face
like a. Hint against those he wants to;'
have about him. '
Do be willing to say frankly, "forgive
me" if you have been in the wrong. It
is a sweet, womanly thing to do, and
tnly a weak, conceited person thinks It
humiliating to admit a mistake.
Do remember that man llveth not by
bread alone, but by loving, apprecia
tive, flattering words from the Hps of
woman, and If they come not from you,
your husband will seek them elsewhere.
Do say, "I told you so," If you have
to, but it will Irritate an angelic tem
per and do away with the good effect
of your superior Judgment. It Is a
good deal to ask, but If possible do re
frain from flaunting the red flag, "1
told you so."
Do be neat and orderly, but don't
carry these virtues to such an excess
that your husband loses all his home
comfort In his fear of soiling a carpet
or making a "muss" with books and
papers. Better, by far, the worst con
fusion, than a sense of restraint and
dismal order. j
Do dress In accordance with your
means. If a woman In moderate cir
cumstances dresses like one of wealth, I
It causes suspicions of her husband or
herself, and means at best a pinched
home and an unworthy ambition. Those
whom you wish to Impress only luugh
at your doubt.
Do remember that the love kindled In
the past cannot live on Itself, but must
be dally, offered fresh Incense. t you
were loved once because you were
bright, comely and charming, you must
be cared for again today because you
are sweet, womanly and companion
able, else will the flame burn low, and
cold ashes take the place of sacred fire.
Da try to keep the love that you
have won, and be as pretty as you can
for your husband. If your hair Is In
"crimps'' tie a bright handkerchief or
a lace veil over It, and always wear a
collar and keep the buttons sewed on
your dress, Nothing so offends a man's
vanity and taste as personal slovenli
ness In his wife.
Do take some Interest In your hus
band's likes and fancies. If he enjoys
base or football, or even a horse race
oijce In a while, don't tell him he Is
boyish or frivolous, but take some pains
to Inform yourself on these subjects
and encourage him to talk to you about
them,, and then he will spend his time
with you and think what a bright wife
he has won.
Do realize that the happiness of mar
ried life depends, In a great measure,
upon little things. Patience, punctuali
ty, a desire to please and be pleased; a
little care to be pretty and companion
able, do much to make husband nnd
wife "congenial" and contented; while
want of personal sweetness unci tidi
ness, a hubit of fault finding, and a
disposition to be ever behind time, have
sundered many hearty and lives which
