I still am fondly true; My heart ne'er brats so gladly As when I am with you. WhKe we may fare together I shall be filled with glee. No matter what the weather Turns out to be. SHE. How fondly and how gravely In former blissful days Tou have declared that bravely We'd fare in flowery ways Where I should have no duty To ever make me sad. Where I might keep my beauty And Just be glad. HE. Why are you sadly sighing? What doubt is plaguing you? Still I am bravely trying To keep my promise true. Though season after season I've tried to do my best; Impart to me the reason For your unrest. SHE. Think not, dear, that I chide you, Or wish to cause you pain; I've kept my place beside you In sunshine and in rain; I serve you at the table. And cook what there is laid Ah, when shall we be able To keep a maid? .S. E. Kiser. frag forces In Oregon are working along very effective lines t.iis year and it will not be surprising if the methods that are being followed bring success to the cause. - In the view of the East Oregonian a very large element of men take the Roosevelt view of suffrage. That view expressed briefly is that woman I, entirely capable of voting and that from a standpoint of justice she is fully entitled to the ballot. The only question is as to whether or not women as a class desire to take upon themselves the duties and responsi bilities of suffrage. If they want to vote these men are anxious to give them that privilege. The work of tie suffrage forces in Oregon at present is directed largely to the organisation of the women themselves and Mrs. C. B. Wade, very prominent former club woman of Oregon, is now in this city to assist in enlisting the support of the wo men of 'eastern Oregon. It is work tlat is bound to bring fine results if the women are but sufficiently in terested to lend their support to the move. If the women of Pendleton and eastern Oregon want to have a really effective influence in the betterment of affairs, civic, state and national, it will be decidedly, good policy for them to co-operate in the matter and ask that they be given the right of suf frage nt the state election this fall. The women may now exert an in direct influence upon affairs but it has been the observation of the East Oregonian in connection with local affairs, that the voice of womanhood in Pendleton has never been given that respectful, attentive ear that would be turned in its direction could they vote as well as talk. But of course it is really a woman's question. rPOX THE RIGHT TRACK. There are indications that the suf- THE GOVERNOR'S RIDE. y Governor West is a democratic governor democratic in spirit as well as by party affiliation and his proposal to ride from Salem to Boise horseback is characteristic of him. He was equally informal when- he was railroad commissioner. To find out how stock shipments were hand led by the Southern Pacific he once boarded a cattle train In southern Oregon and rode to Portland on it without making his identity known. It was a very good way to find out about affairs and if the ride seemed lacking in dignity it at least in creased his efficiency as a member of the railroad commission. The ride from Salem to Boise is .1 fine idea. It will be great recre ation for the governor and It will provide him some first hand infor mation about people and about a territory he would not see otherwise. The idea that such a trip Is belit tling for a governor is absolutely bosh. Dignity is an attribute of the h.Fart; it is not a matter of dress or fvrm. There are more reasons why the governor should ride through eastern Oregon horseback observing conditions and visiting the simple homes of the ranchers and towns men than there are reasons why he should glide through the state aboar! a well equipped transcontinental train. If there were no other rea sons for the ride a very good one could be found in the fact that here to fore no governor has ever made such a tour. There are too many officials who are not sufficiently democratic There are too many governors who so about in silk hats hobnobing only with those who seem most influential in business or in politics. They givs no thought to common people. They do not ride with them or walk with them Or talk with them. They don't lfarn of their needs or their wishes ar.d don't care to. Such men are not good officials. They cater to a class not to the people as a whole. If Governor West makes his Salem tu Boise ride he will enjoy the ex perience, he will learn something from the jeople and from the coun tiy and the people with whom he meets will enjoy his visit. About the most pressing question lu local circles Just now Is as to what Uoague Pendleton's bull team will af filiate with this year. Shall we pluy with the neighbor boys or get In with the big fellows? Maybe Governor West is going on tliC theory a man may learn more from a good horse than he can from a locomotive. Ethel "Not this one; dear. It' mandate.' s FEW WEDDINGS; WHOSE FAVLT "I should he glad if you would make it quite clear," said one of the cler gy, "that although. some years ago we used to marry hundreds of people in a day at reduced rates, as you will remember so that sometimes on bank holidays the streets all around were filled with costers' borrows, vans, carts and all sorts of impromptu wedding-coaches, we are the 'wed ding church' no longer. To tell you the truth, there is no 'wedding church' nowadays. For some years past every church has been bound to keep strictly to Its own parish. Even now, however, we are contilnually having to turn awtiy couplies who come to us from a)l over London. Sometimes they wait on the street for hours in the hope that we will marry them. "Still, as representing a typical East-End district, I think I can as sure you that is certainly no falling off in these parts so far as marriages are concerned. If anything, there is an increase. The average East End working man marries Just as he used to, and I don't think the proportion of unlegalized unions is going up in the slightest. Nearly a'l of these marriages are young of . boys of 20 and girls of 19, and most of them are pathetically Improvident in any number of cases the young people have really nowhere to go back to.

I saw him once before As he passed by the door. - And again The pavement stones resound, As he totters o'er the ground With his cane. They say that in his prime. Ere the pruning-knlfe of Time Cut him down, Not a better man was found By the crier on the round Through the town. But now he walks the streets. And he looks at all he meets Sad and wan. And he shakes his feeble head That it seems as if he said, "They are gone." The mossy marbles rest On the lips that he has pressed In their bloom, And the names he loved to hear Have been carved for many a year On the tomb. x My grandmama has said Poor old lady, she is dead Long ago That he had p. Roman nose, And his cheek was like a rose. And the snow. But now his nose is'thln,. And it rests upon his chin Like a staff. And a crook is in his back, And a melancholy crack In his laugh. I know it is a Pin For me to sit and grin At him here; Hut the old three-cornered hat, And the breeches, and all that, Are so queer And if I should live to be The last leaf upon the tree In the spring, Let them smile, as I do now, At the old forsaken bough Where I cling. Oliver Wendell Holmes. that a trained (acuity of forgetting is a great asset ' "It la really the habit of forgetting temporarily," said a -well known king's counsel recently. "This Tiablt, I should eay, is the secret of mental -concentration, which Is indispensable to success. It Is only by practice that the faculty develops and until he ha acquired it the young barrister is in difficulties. The mind becomes train ed automatically to forget things for the time being; they are placed away In separate cells and the door of rec ollection shut upon them until It Is necessary to recall them, once again. "For example, I may be suddenly called from a criminal case at the Old Bailey I forget without an effort all about the case and enter the high courts with my mind entirely devoted to the point of law to be argued. Thus a barrister remembers only the case engaging him at a particular moment. All his other cases are put away. mentally pigeon-holed, to be taken down when required." "Directly I have done with one matter of business I forget It and turn to the next" said a prominent city man. "I find it is hopeless to work on any other principle. The man who cannot forget at will is always handi capped. If he does not put one busi ness deal completely out of his mind be for o he tackles the next he becomes flustered and worried." London Mail.
