TRUTH S Ml A MOOD. (Dolores Watts.) A cold, drizzling rain. How steadily . the (Irojis fall to Mother Earth, as though they, too, had found relief In tears and sweet rest upon Nature's heart. At each gust of wind the dead leaves fall slowly, silently, and as 1 watch them my sorrow sinks deeper Into my heart. It Is a most melan choly feeling, and yet there Is an In describable sweetness about It, too. A fire Is smoldering In the grate, dark, cheerless. There Is no Indica tion of a live ember. It is tired, too. It Is sinking. We are In the same mood, so I draw my chair by It. After all thero Is a sweetness In this mute companionship. Thero Is a knock at my door. A visitor, no doubt. Oh, yes! I know ' hlln well. Ho Is very familiar In his " black garb, and as 1 take his extended hand In mine, I shiver, for It Is cold, oh, so cold. It Is Disappointment. He Is my friend. Wo have been such nl- ways. Ho takes a cnair uesiue mo L'' and gazes at me sorrowfully, yet kind- ' ly. Wo do not talk; wo understand each other well, and I know ho Is I sorry for me. I close my weary eye- I lids a moment. It is such a comfort, . but my friend passes by mo and J reach out my hand to again clasp his, for I do not want him to do; but he has vanished, while a hand, a soft, I warm hand, is clasping mine confld- i ingly, and I encounter two large child- ! ish eyes gazing trustingly into mine. What a beautiful face it is! Tho ex- , presslon is almost affectionate. 1 j like it; I give it a little caress, and , as she smiles at me so sweetly I know my little guest is Hope. While gazing at her intently, a little sunbeam has fallen through tho cur tained window and Is playing on the carpet at my feet. And now there are t more, ever so many more. They are 1 dancing in very ecstacy. In tho win- ' dow box a violet has raised its droop- f ing head. Involuntarily I approach i tho window to Inhale tho sweet odor. i A most beautiful water color is before 1 me. I Tho shadows of tho trees waver I slowly" and fitfully across the path and R a radiant rainbow is in the sky and casts its exqulslto tints over tho ma ll jestlc mountains and into tho valley. II Afar I hear tho joyful singing of birds. V Tho rain is over and gone. Surely L He leadeth mo besldo the still waters. i o AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE .CATA- J ALOGUE. i Truth is in receipt of tho catalogue 1 of tho Agricultural college for 190G- ' 1907. It Is an exceedingly handsome volume of nearly 200 pages replete with line cuts illustrative of the col- a lego buildings, rooms, grounds, etc. Tho cataloguo contains a very Inter esting history of tho college from its lounding In 1888 up to tho present time, also descriptions of the bu.ldlngs and grounds and equipments. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the work of tho college has been conducted during the past year, it had enrolled 147 students ot college grade and a total of 081! stu dents. Tho falling off in attendance though not as large as might have been expected, is due mainly to the fact thnt the engineering courses have been partly discontinued. The college also had a disastrous Are, just before tho opening in September, which de stroyed the Mechanic Arts building. However, the board of examiners gen erously came to its assistance and a now Mechanic Arts building has been constructed and equipped, which is In many respects superior to the old one. Tho Agricultural collcgo Is ono of tho most Important parts of tho edu cational system of tho state and should bo encouraged In every way possible. KING AND PEASANT. A king came wooing a peasant maid, Her beauty was fair and sweet to see. In simple attire she was arrayed, A child of sunlight and nature was she. Her hair was silken and waving brown, Her feet stepped lightly over the down. ' She Is fairest of all tho flowers, 1 ween. This peasant maid' shall be my queen." DOLORES WATTS. FROM THE GERMAN. When thou thy lovo bestowest, Let none the gift divine; Let tho thoughts exchanged between us Bo only mine and thine. Do on thy guard, to no ono Thy secret thoughts disclose. Lovo In thy Inmost soul, But show no weakness to tho world. True lovo Is always sweetest When kept from all apart, Then hide thy hidden raptures Within thy secret heart. .. IT HURTS THE ENEMY. Tho Salt Lake Tribune feels very badly over the harmonious manner In which the Idaho state Republican con vention flnislioTi up Its work and 13 grieving deeply over tho fact th party has lined up with unbroken ranks for the campaign. The Salt Lake organ of Dubois was very anx ious for some kind of a fight in the Republican ranks. Only In Republican dissatisfaction could It see any hope lor Its idol, Dubois. It h.is therefore jet out to mako some sore spots that don't exist and hopes by insistence ) make them appear as facts. In his last special from Boise, however, the coi respondent rather muddies himself in his attempt to mix his readers. His story is so palpably labored and so contradictory as to be amusing; every body, he says, Is sore and everybody iot it in tho neck. Brady, Borah and Joodlng dealt out harmony but Brady got tho worst of it; Borah had to sur render and Gooding was Ignored. This Is tho way he lines it out. It is the way tho Salt Lake Mormon-cater would like to see It, but It will hardly do more than amuse Idaho readers during an idle hour. Better feeling never existed In the Republican party In Idaho than exists today. Thero aro no soro spots than we can plice a linger on and tho party Is going Into the fight, united and enthusiastic, and victory is certain. Pocatello Tribune. u DR.
