Otherwise we might think it April. The situation at Salem reminds us of that fable of Aesop's in which the wind and sun contested to see which could first make the traveler take off his cloak. The wind made him but ton it more firmly around him, but the sun warmed him up so he was gfad to take it off. Many things the legislature might do to ease the treasury it naturally will not do for fear of having it. asserted such act was forced by Pierce with his cele brated tax levy cut. In order to get the full measure of attention, Ormiston should accom pany Aimee on that lecture tour of the East. A man in Minneapolis is about to drink 85 cups of coffee, on a wager If the coffee is as strong as the kind "Dad" Sickafoose makes, that man is in for a thrill that will last him the remainder of his life. The law to make the speed limit 35 miles an hour has passed the first lap in the state legislature, which merely means that a greater average of travelers than heretofore will be traveling within the speed limits.

REBEKAHS RECALL OLD TIMES WITH AN EVENING IN COSTUME After the regular meeting of the Rebekahs Thursday evening, January 6, the ladies and a few men dressed themselves in antique and - period costumes. Bustles and hoops were in evidence. Among the unique costumes were: Mrs. J. O. Andrua who wore a black silk dress belonging to Mrs. Silcott, made in 1886. It had puffed sleeves and was worn with a bustle. Mrs. Carl Pollan was dainty in a cream wedding dress which was over thirty years old. Mrs. Whiteaker was dressed in a black taffeta suit, 50 years old. It had a real lace collar, a loose jacket and pleated skirt. Mrs. Edwards was dignified In a suit with a full flare skirt. She wore a high black hat, trimmed with real ostrich .plumes. Among the oldest things was a cape and cap belonging to her . grandmother, worn by Mrs. Herren. The cape was made by Mrs. BtFrank Crane Says I itilt aft i Ml ' THE SOUL HAS ITS WEATHERS Sometimes all is bright and serene, and other times it is dark and cloudy. Sometimes it is clear weather and sometimes stormy. As in the case of the winds of which we know not whence they come nor whither they go, but take their blow ing as an act of God beyond our con trol, so our moods and tempers seem to arise we know not how. The best we can do is to maintain our poise as much as possible and turn toward our ideals when the winds of pessimism and doubt are upon us, and remain as equable as we can. We speak of getting out of bed in the morning with the wrong foot fore most It is another way of saying that we are in the grip of a mood that is beyond our control. How many acts of our fellows that seem to us malicious are simply due to the prevalence of some uncontroll able mood in them? There are some people, thanks bo, that are always bright and cheery. One who has this sunny disposition is to be congratulated, and even more to be felicitated are those about him. ' If one can be a point of sunshine in this storm tossed world he has cer tainly added much to human well be ing. The alternation of moods, however, is common to all of us. We should all expect some dark days and resist their influence as much as possible. We can do very much with our will. Our judgment should tell us the danger of lotting ourselves go when "the wind is from the east".. We should wait until the times change and not give way to dark humors. It can be acceomplished if we are but fixed in our determination to encour age cheerful moods and discourage untoward feelings. We cannot control our feelings, it is true, but by a set purpose we can make them strengthen us. A. J. Richardson of I ndependence, but formerly of Buena Vista, sixty years ago.
