tions, Lamp nieefinos of religious association:;, and the like, this is
the period of the year in which family minionr. are held. 1're
: quent mention of .such affairs may now ho found in the daily nuws
papers of the largo cities, but it is in the country papers that ono
finds most notice taken of them. Hardly an issue of a journal
published in the rural legions of Oregon may be picked up these
days without reading of family reunions.
The attendance at some of these gatherings is larger than one
might expect. Jl' the leimion is of the decendanls of .someone who
lived in Revolutionary times, whose piogeny have extended-to
the seventh and eighth generation, they may be numbered in tho
thousands.
Americans are a yestlcss people who frequently change their
; place of abode. ' It is rnie for an American to spend his life in
' one house. The probabilities are, accordingly, that the offspring
, of someone who died a hundred years ago will be widely scattered
; throughout the country. Vet sufficient of them may generally
be found in the neighborhood of the place where their ancestor
lived to make a' gathering of impressive proportions.
The tie of blood is not so strong among the people of the Unit
ed States as it was, let us say, among the members of the Scottish
: clans. Relationship is usually disregarded if it is more remote
: than that of second. cousins, at most. Still, there are few persons
; who do not feel some Interest in those who have, in common with
them, an ancestor even seven or eigiit generations back. Faniiiy
- reunions serve an excellent purpose in giving'them a chance to
become acquainted.
If there have been good or great men and women in the family
all will take pleasure in asserting their relationship. Family pride.
; stimulated by the reunion, will spur all oir to be worthy of the
name they bear.
A Commission On The Job -.'
........... . .
It is a pleasure to locord that the Pnitcd States eual commis
si an is. one of .tho kind that stuys persmtujitly- and.'Viu'oiousjyi on
. the and lsj
is iTftson to believe that throuTi its good offices mid pressure the
threatened anthracite strike may yet bo aveited, if this should
not prove so tiie commission nevertheless would be credited with
having done everything that could be expected of it to prevent
(he break, and it' judgment .its to thor.e responsible undoubtedly
would be generally acefpted. It is gratifying to the public that
its interests are being to ably and determinedly represented at
ttho ccn.'crences of fluvminers and operators. After the latter had
reached a deadlock some time ago, it was the commission that got
them to resume negotiations in New York and, with the failure!
to. come to a prompt agreement there, to try again.
While making no threats, simply emphasizing its duty to the
public under the ciieumst.mces, lhe commission, through its chair
man, John J lays li.mimund, makes clear thai if an agieem-mt is
:ot reached, or some method found for continuing the r.tiues i:
operation, it will lay the fe.ct fully before the president j nd con
gress, fixing what it believes to be the responsibility and makln;--.
what lecommendations it may deem appiopriate.
With public, .sentiment set strongly for Inu-numious settlemeiC
of the differences, r.nd knowing that if the rmiit snii it is shown In
buth sides such an agreement would follow as a matter of course,
the party that would assume lespunsibility for letting the dispute i
go to a strike would be at a serious
It 1ms hecuuc axiomatic, that
public SOlltimeut.

from the moment of their birth lake
u mniiiflit path to tlm Mky. It wero
well with liiirimn helns could we do
the name. Trees, like mortule of flesh
and blood, may be discouraged und
deflected. Sometime!!. In tender youth
or in their prime, both are cut down.
Hut the slirht of a tree Browing, aa a
man who lnereae In mental atature.
In an Inspiration and nn examplo
which It Is wise to follow.
The tri e, t hough It befriends a col
ony of animals and blrda and tho
whole race of men. ban Its eager and
persistent enemies that It has not de
served. It must endure the change
of seasons. It must suffer beat and
the snow, the rain; yet It lives beauti
fully to gladden the eye, to Vomfort
with Its shade; and when It dies It
feeds the fires of a home, or It builds
u house, or It provides the material
for uses Industrial and domestic hun
dredfold.' Living and dying, are wo a useful
uh the trees that are our comardes?
Thoreau wrote a paper fOK the Atlan
tic Monthly In which he said of a cer
tain tree be kneiv iuul loved, that It
might one day go to a high a heaven,
there to tower above him still. Low
ell, then editor of the magazine, was
grieved by what seemed to hlin the
Impiety of that observation. Ho de
leted the offending sentiment. .Thor
eau was Incensed; and tho two men
never quite repaired the wound ttut
the incident dealt to their friendship.
But one, who, like Hu.skin.-does full
justice to tho essential nobility oi a
tree, though he bo called a pagan for
It, will find in the tree a kind of soul.
He will feel that in many , ways Its
majestic dignity, lis generous amplitude,-
its Innocence ' of fuss and. fret,
rebuke - whatsoever tilings in human
life are smull und mean and unworthy
of a man's place In (iod's universe.
