STATE IONS IIT (Pendleton East Oragonlan) v The delegation selected by tha sen ale and bouse of representatives, to gether withi members of the atata board and other interested persons, spent tha day in Pendleton Saturday looking over tha Eastern Oregon Hos pltal. In the evening they were en tertained at the Wenaha club, where a banquet was given In their honor. Mr. W. L. Thompson, president of the American' National bank, was toast- master and a number of splendid ad dresses were made. Nearly all of the members of the delegation were full of praise for tha fine buildings of tha Eastern Oregon Hospital and ot the management thereof and expressed a willingness to stand for good sized appropriations for the maintalnence thereof. . Among those who made speeches were T. U Perkins, Mr. Abbott, the chairman of the ways and means com mlttee, and Dr. 'Woods. Senator Bean stated that, in his opinion, the legislature should appro priate $10,000 or more for building barns and other equipment, but th? he was not satisfied It should appro priate $100,000 for a new wing at this time that on account of the large demands made upon the legislature for appropriations for other Institu tions a system of rigid economy would have to be practiced. State Treasurer Thomas Kay stat ed that he was very proud of the management of the Eastern Oregon Hospital and that he wanted to see It becoms one of the very best Insti tutions of this character in the Un ited States. ' Mr. Hagood of Multnomah, was the oily democrat of the entire delega tion. He stated that he thought a largo appropriation should be made; that a new wing should be built; a large barn and a home for the super 'ntendent and other necessary build ings should be looked out for by ap propriate appropriations. Representative Westerland stated that he would certainly advocate a sufficient appropriation for the build ing of a new wing, good barns, a home for the superintendent, and other needed improvements. Representative Massie of Washing ton county and Senator Smith of Jo sephine county voiced the sentiments of Representative Westerland. Por ter of Lynn and Hughes of Marion ware outspoken in their advocacy for a large appropriation. Dr. R. E. U Stelner, superintend ent of the hospital at Salem, spoke briefly but highly complimented the people of Pendleton on being so for tunate as to have Dr. McNary as sup erintendent of the Eastern Oregon; Hospital; that Dr. McNary had been personally known to him for a num ber of years and that he Is one of tha best men in the state, as well as one of the best equipped men that could possibly have been found for the sup erlntendency. H)s also complimented the members of the last legislature for the splendid stand they took In the establishment of the Institution. He particularly mentioned J. Bower man, C. A. Barrett S. D. Peterson and McKinnejr of Baker. Dr. Stelner stated that while he would have to measurably look after his own Insti tution It was very apparent a large appropriation was needed for the further Improvement of the Eastern Oregon hospital. i ' Dr. McNary. superintendent, brief ly outlined the needs of the hospital and stated that It would be his pur pose to work assiduously for the best Interest of the Institution and for Umatilla county In general; that he accepted the superlntendency with a great deal of hesitation,' but that It was now, his ambition to see the In stitution become the greatest in America. " FINE OLD BORROWERS. Leigh Hunt Was a Champion, and Or. Johnson Levied an looks. . In a book of ssaays, "AuerU-aua and Others," Agues iiepplier collect some o table Instances of a certain roode- avaueioo In borrowers, .. Leigh Bunt and William Oodwlu bad tba trait de veloped to magnldcvnt proportions: - "It would ba interesting to calculate tba amount of money which. Hunt's friends and acquaintances contributed to bis support In life. Shelley gave biin at oua time 1.400, an amount wblcb the poet could III spare, and when ba had no mora to give wrote In misery of spirit to Byron, begging a loan for bis friend and promising to repay It, as ha felt tolerably sura Huut never would. Byron, generous at first wearied after a time of bis position In Hunt's commissariat (It whs like pulling a man out of a river, be wrote to Moore, only to see him Jump In agnlui and coldly withdrew. His withdrawal occasioned Inconvenience aud has been sharply criticised." As for Godwin, when blr aatigbter ran off with Shelley be refused to take (Shelley's check for 1.000 If It were not made payable to a (bird person or "un less be could bave the money without tbe formality of an acceptance." . Crabb Robinson Introduced him one evening to a gentleman named itougb. The next day both Oodwlu and Itougb called upon their host each man ei pressing bis regard for tbe other and each asking Robinson If he thought tbe otber would be a likely person to lend him 50. Dr. Johnson was more scrupulous. He "paid back 10 after a lapse of twenty years and on bis deathbed begged Sir Joshua Reynolda to forgive bltn a trifling loan." But In tbe matter of borrowed books tbe case was altered. "Johnson cherished a dim conviction that because be rend and Oarrlck did not the proper place for Garrlck'a books was on his John son's bookshelves, a point which could never be settled between tha two friends and which came near wrecking their friendship." Gesnion rfjstle. A curious Illustration of tba princi ple of responsibility abroad It afford ad by a civil damage suit (rowing oat of tbe breaking of a plata glass win dow In a German town. A wituess bad tee tilled as follows: "As I was passing down tha s treat in front of tba window 1 saw a bif stone coma whirling through tba air. I did not know wbenca It came. I saw It coming through tba air, and I bad Jnst time enough to dodga to sava myself from being bit by If Tba witness was sharply questioned upon the point whether tba atone that broke tha window would bare struck him bad be not dodged 1L Ba was then dismissed. Eventually tba dad slon of tha magistrate waa this: "Inasmuch as If tha witness bad not unfortunately ducked his bead tha glass would not have been struck by the stone, be Is hereby adjudged ra sponBiblo for the hreaklug of tbe win dow and is ordered to pay to tba own- jer tha value of tba same."-Chlcago inter ucean.

Bess Stick ta One Flower. It Is usually supposed, especially by tha poets, that bees sip sweets indis criminately from many a flower. He woos the Poppy and weds tbe Peach, lnvelslee DaRydowndllly; And then, a deserter, abandons each For tbe petals of tbe Lily. Tbe seasons appear rather mixed In tbe verse, which in other respects, however, reflects tbe popular belief about bees. It is far from being tba true one. All bees. Including tba honey, bee, show a strong tendency In collecting both nectar and pollen to be constant to one species of flower. This la mani festly for tbe advantage of both insects and flowers. In the case of a number of bees flying for only a small part of the season this baltlt has become to specialised tbat they visit only one or a few allied species of flowers which offer an abundance of pollen and nec tar.
