If you haven't got a dollar And the day is drear and cold, If you wear a ragged collar And your shoes are patched and old, If the winds of chill December Whirl the snowflakes from the sky. Say "111 stick it out!" Remem ber "Twill be summer by and by! If by chance that pleasant sea son Sees your longing still denied, Look around and find the rea son That your wants are not sup plied Here's -a thought that ought to please you As you ventilate your hat; Summer winds will never freeze you Grin a little over that! Here's a rule it pays to follow, See some good in cold or heat! Life's a dose we've got to swal low. Be it bitter, be it sweet. So, since we are forced to take It As the common lot of man. Let's be wise and try to make It Just as pleasant as we can! 4 Chicago News. IT MEANS PERMANENCY. The finest thing about the initi ative measure that has been prepar ed in behalf of the Eastern Oregon normal school is the fact that the bill provides fur permanent mainten ance.' If that bill Is adopted by the people of the state the Eastern Ore gon normal will cease to be a foot ball for legislators to kick about. As shown by Clark Wood and other normal school speakers last night the Insecurity of the Oregon normals has been their weak spot in the past Neither professors or students have ever had any assurance that the work would be continued. .It has always been a "hand to mouth" existence and so the normals were In disre pute, through no fault of their own. Yet even with the disadvantages under which the normal schools worked they did valuable service. They furnished the state .rlth hun dreds of good teachers and the east ern Oregon normal provided Its share. Those teachers are now holding good positions and their services are In de mand. School boards everywhere want to secure teachers who have had normal training. They view with alarm, and Justly so, the fact that our normals are now closed and that the supply of good, capable teachers Is not large. It Is the firm belief of the East Oregonian that the people of Eastern Oregon want a normal school and that the people of the entire state will grant that we need such an In stitution. Now that the initiative petitions are ready for circulation let everybody help In the work of having them cir culated so that the measure will be ready for action of the people this fall. ELEMENTARY. The Mllton-Freewater country Is a closely settled section. It has a heavy school enumeration. For every child that country gets 10 from the general school fund. That section, being closely peopled, also needs good roads and permanent bridges. It Is getting them. They are being paid for with money from the county funds. Now at the present time the county funds are raised from an assessment upon property valued at $42,000,000. Of this valuation 18,500,000 Is com prised In the railroad assessment. The railroads, have no school chil dren yet the railroads pay their share of the school tax. There ts also much timber land in this county, much erasing land and much wheat land where the population la sparse. The owners of these classes, of property pay money Into the school fund yet they do not make personal use of the schools of the county. They pay money Into the road fund, yet they get few roads or bridges because the land which they own and upon which they pay taxes Is jiot populated. Much of the money which the rail roads, the timber land owners and the wheat land owners pay In taxes goes to sections like the Milton-Free-water country where they have schools and where they need roads and bridges. This money keeps taxes low in such sections. This being the case Is It not strange that some of the Mllton-Freewater cruntry want to secede from this County with its $42,000,000 assessed valuation T Yes, It is strange. Would secession from Umatilla county be a good thing for most of the people in the east end? No, it would be a bad thing for most of them. It would benefit merely those living in Milton and who would profit should that town be come a county seat. 1IOOSEVELTS TEETH. With seeming seriousness the Spokesman Review speaks as follows of Col. Roosevelt's teeth. The long-looked for answer to that oft-repeated pueryr "Why Is Teddy?" has at last been found. It Is teeth. Yes, our beloved Teddy, the present idol of kings and courts, the greatest individual force In the world today, owes his fame and glory to that set of strong and burnished molars and incisors which, for so many years, has been the easy mark of cartoon ists and the gleaming frame of the familiar "bully boys" and "dee lighted!" The National Dental association, meeting In Philadelphia, stumbled on the fact Friday, April 22, but at the time made no Rooseveltian applica tinn of it. "Teeth may properly be considered i the source of energy," said a member o! the committee of oral hygiene. "Good teeth mean good health and good health determines the capacity for achievement." The discovery, equaling that of Achilles' heel and Samson's hair, is so simple that, like many others, it arouses the Immediate Inquiry throughout the land, "Why didn't we think of It before?" Every one knows that even In babyhood the coming of one tooth Is the signal of increased and surprising energy, and &; one grows older there Is scarcely a time when the mere thought of a dentist doesn't make one tired. But beneath these common symp toms of the corelatlon there Is the accumulation of fact which medical research has disclosed. The medical profession of S,trassburg, Germany, for example, recently started a syste matic examination and treatment of the teeth of school children and as a result the children are reported stronger, brighter, happier and easier to control. As a result, German In surance companies have established free dental clinics where their policy holders may be treated, the assump ticn being that this Is one of the easl. est and least expensive ways of main tainine the general health. The Na tional Dental association has prac tically decided to establish similar stations throughout the principal clt its of the different states, provided the assistance of the municipalities can be secured. Mr. Roosevelt has done a great deal for his country, but If his teeth an 1 their familiarity are to be the cause of a healthier, happier and more effi cient race the debt of his countrymen can scarclly be estimated. At any rate here Is to him and to them and the destruction of his enemies the for ceps and the laughing gas! It was wet weather but that made no difference with the Junketers. They travel In the sunshine or the rain. The rain last night will add many thousands of dollars to the value of the coming wheat crop. Hermlston strawberries are now upon the market. Hermlston Is an early bird. "One for all; all for one." NOT" A ROWBOAT. Former Senator Dubois of Idaho, who has been In Washington for a time this past session, heard an argu ment out In Boise City between two Irishmen concerning the advisability of a great navy. It was at the time of the Japanese scare, and the peo ple in the far western country were all wrought up. "I'm wld Teddy on this," said one. "We must have a big navy. The big ger the better, says I. No nation can be thruly great without a navy. No nation ever has." Whist!" put In the other Irish man. "No nation has ever been great without a navy? Luk at Ireland an' th' Jews, an thlm wldout a rowboat bechune thlm!" Saturday Evening Post. ' Next, England will be all torn up with the passing of the great Ameri can comet. EVEHYDAY JtKLIGlON. When all Is said and done at last and , creeds have warred with creeds When men have coined new terms to clear the ground of verbal weeds When systems change and doctrines clash and some put off the old ! T"o don new faiths that seem to them i a clearer light to hold: ' Although It may be silly, wet It's back for you and me to me everyday religion tnnt was taught at mother's knee. ' ! The new fads have their beauty, and well-founded thought may bring A comfort to believers who enlist be. j neath their wing; The ologles and Isms and the abstract and the new For those who seek adventure In soul comforting may do; But there's nothing quite so filling In aught that I can see j Like the everyduy religion that we learned at mother's knee, j Some criticise the heaven of the Bl- : ble, and some smell A little too much brimstone in the old-time Bible hell; This one thinks creation waSn't scien tific quite, I And this one's half convicted that he . has seen another light; ' But when they've passed opinions, . and the choice is left to me. I Mine's the everyday religion that we learned at mother's knee. Just plain and sweet and simple, with its creed of faith and trUst. . In golden rules of brotherhood, in life beyond the dust; In joy and song eternal, If In this life "we've seen fit . To obey the ten commandments and that's all there Is to It; No fancy frill of trimming; but it's good enough for me That everyday religion that we learned at mother's knee. GIVE I S MEN. Give us Men!

Bishop of Exeter. ENTERPRISE. That the passion for exclusive news "stories" Is by no means confined to the newspapers .of the big cities was amusingly Illustrated, not long ago. by an editorial notice In a country paper In Iowa. "We were the first Journal In the state," ran this notice, "to announce, on the 11th Instant, the news of the destruction in Des Moines, by fire, of the mammoth painting establishment of Jenkins & Brothers. We are now the first to inform our readers that the report was absolutely wunoui foundation." Harper's Magazine. - A Knowing Husband.

For 4D days before the festival It was lit by an oil lamp and morning and eve ning I used to kneel and say my pray ers before it. That little light was tho brightest spot of my childhood, and it was the first and perhaps the greatest of my Joys.'.' Says Mme. Bernhardt: "When I was at school i? patch of garden In the playground was given to me to share with another little girl. My first great Joy came when I bought out her part of our Joint garden with seven pins, two reams of ruled paper and my lizard box, containing thres lizards, one of them without u tall. I was then sole queen of my garden." Mme Rejane's was a purely feminine Joy. "I never shall forget the day my mother first consented to take me to a fancy dress dance.
