Given the opportunity, it is possi ble that the President of Mexico might do as wise a thing in dealing with Bernardo Reyes as President Lincoln did with Clement L. Vallan digham. If such a thing were possi ble under exactly similar conditions, it Is not possible under conditions similar only to the extent of recall? ing' how Lincoln dealt with a man then cutting a much less absurd fig ure than Reyes cut the other day when he rode alone into a government camp, surrendered, and begged mercy for his few followers. Vallandigham had a vastly greater number of fol lowers than Reyes, in many thousand men who, though not taking the field, were armed and drilling in lodges of Knights of the Golden Circle and otn er "Copperhead" organizations in the Northern states. They constituted constant and serious menace to the government, so serious that the admin istration, forced to action seized Val landigham and took horn to Washing ton . In Mexico, such a man would have been shot. The greatest mercy he might hope for would be that of rot ting in a dungeon of the fortress pris on in Vera Cruz Harbor. The grave Spanish mind, crossed with the grav er Indian, could not give the world such an exhibition of far-seeing states manship as Lincoln then gave it out of his abounding sense of humor, which Emerson has wisely said is the highest pledge of sanity. Realizing that to punish Vallandighatn, even by banishment, would be to strengthen his treasonable propaganda, that mas ter mind, in thinking over the problem of what to do with him, had a lightn ing flash of inspiration, which, when it came, must have moved him to deep mirth and deeper gratification. The supreme wisdom of what he did grows Japan's Mission Is to Unite the East and West Si By Dr. IN AZO NITOBE piece of -territory and when, as always follows, the country that has loss raises a great hue and cry you always hear it said that Japan is somewhere behind the eastern country. The INFLUENCE OF JAPAN IS ALWAYS SUSPECTED. But I can assure you that the suspicion is not just. WE THINK OF OURSELVES IN JAPAN AS THE GO-BETWEEN OF THE EAST AND THE WEST AND NOT THE LEADER OF THE EAST AGAINST THE WEST. - WE PREFER TO BRING TOGETHER THE NATIONS WHICH HAVE SO LONG TROD DIFFERENT PATHS AND UNITE THEM BY BONDS OF SYMPATHY AND RESPECT. The location of the J apanese empire in the Pacific so far from the chores of America and from the centers of the world had made the Japanese GREATER STRANGERS TO THE WORLD than almost any other nation. The difficulty of passing from Japan even to California was enough to make understanding a matter of time. The tendency to explain the character of a people by their environ ments is often OVERDONE. Some western travelers'" have tried to explain all Japanese life by our volcanoes and our earthquakes. But I think the mental influences have been small. In the Shinto religion, where there is a god for everything, there is only one mention, of a god of earthquakes. The volcano and the earthquake have had an effect on our art and our architecture, but not an appreciable effect on the psychology or emotional life of the Japanese. The insularity of Japan had made the Japanese a homogeneous people with a STRONG PATRIOTISM. upon one the more on contemplating it near the end of half a century after it was done. Read in "The Messages pf the Presidents" the communication to Congress telling of the action tak en in the case. Read it between the lines to find its inner soul both of mirth and of wisdom. Neither can be reflected here. What was done was to send Vallandigham across the lines to the Confederates where, Lin coln said, he thought he might find a more congenial atmosphere. There can be no doubt that Lin coln had foreseen what would hap pen. The Confederates wanted ' no "Copperhead" in their midst. Their contempt of that pusillanimous tribe was not less than our own. They were sending him back at once, hut Vallandigham prevailed upon them to ship hint to Canada. -The effect of this roaring farce on ."Copperhead" sentiment in the North can be imag ined. ..The bottom dropped out of the whole traitorous movement, where, on the other hand, any punishment of Vallandigham would have martyrized him. Punishment would now marty rize and dignity Reyes in Mexico. Latin humor is not Celto-Saxon in its breath and scope, but Madero might hark back to the wisdom of that old Spanish governor who,, on finding in a prison but one man among several hundred who confessed his guilt in stead of pleading , his innocence, led him to "the door and pointing outward said: "Get thee gone, thou rascal. You are not fit to be with all these honest men." That story has been told of every early governor of every state in this Union, but the Spaniads told it first more than 300 years ago. And. Francisco Madero is a scion of Spaniards. It may be true as stated by a sta titician, that a woman drinks ninety thousand ice cream sodas in her life time, but you don't see her around looking for an "eye-opener" in the morning. A Kansas juror was forever barred from jury duty for becoming intoxi cated. This opens up a new avenue of escape. , v" Statistician Babson says if people would be satisfied to live now as they used to much of the high cost of liv ing problem would be solved. Which is an indisputable truth. A bachelor clergyman of Chicago writes dolefully of "How I Am Be sieged by Women Who Want to Marry Me." " Too bad, too bad! Can't they call out the troops to protect him? . Representative Underwood wants the country placed on a tariff for revenue basis. Good-bye, Oscar take care of your boom. A statistician says the United States will have a population of 1,007,000,000 by 2100. We hope Schedule K won't be around to pester them. Russian knows what we mean, all right. Mr. Edison's concrete furniture would prove unwieldly in a "rough house" where there was a temptation to throw things. "Beautiful snow" poems are season able. ' " OUTSIDE DEMAND FOR POTATOES IS NIL Beyond supplying the local trade i there is no business passing in the potato market. The weather for the time makes the movement of stock from pits and cellars hazardous but even if conditions in this regard were more favorable the chances are that Sr. HEREVER a white power enters the east and seizes a Head of Im perial College of Japan suffered the Lawn Checkers, a The Benefit I u ' - j GHECKER entnusiasts win nave an opportunity to watch their favorite game played in a novel style when "lawn checkers" will be demonstrat ed at a public tournament In New Tork. The game is, played on a large canvas, twenty-four ieet square, which is stretched upon turf or the floor of. a large ball Square holes are 10 give tne usual cnecterooara effect on a grand scale. The pieces, which are made of papier macbe, are correspondingly large and are moved by means of poles with hooks at one end. The advantage of the new game, according to Its inventor, is that a match may be watched by a large crowd of spectators Instead of by the dozen or so who can observe the moves of the players who use an ordinary board. The new method may be and is adapted to the use of chess players as well. . trade would be little if at all more active, for there Is said to be practi cally no demand in the South now for Oregon products. The few shipments that were sent to California and Arizona late in the year just past appear to have satis fied the demand there for the present. Some revival of trade with the South is expected later, but when and to what extent it will develop remains to be seen. Just now the outside call for Oregon potatoes according to local dealers, amounts to little. In the Fall, as a result of short crops in many of the Eastern and Middle Western States," high prices for the Oregon crop were predicted. Since then the situation seema to have changed somewhat The yield in this state now is believed to be a good deal above the estimates made before the crop was gathered and the California output also was an unusu ally large one. To date California has been alble to supply the bulk of the trade in the Southwest, and leave also a liberal surplus for home consump tion. As a result the Southern de mand for Oregons for the season to date has not come up to expectations.

A New York merchant, in speaking about his early experiences In the re tail business, said: "I made four ven tures In a small way. three of which were. If not failures, unsuccessful. It was the custom In Miose days to mark all goods' with a cost and a selling mark, and the former was essential be cause the latter was not always lived up to. It was elastic, the one price system toeiug impossible because of competition. My first cost mark was God my helpr." each letter represent ing a numeral. Then, I bad "Mark honest.' The third mark employed was 'Fulmeasure.' but I had" no luck until I changed my cost mark to 'Makeprofit' " Nev York Tribune. Poverty! Poverty has always existed. There Is no .remedy. . It can be alleviated, but not abolished. " No matter who preaches- any other doctrine, it is a false- and not a true preachment. It is against the inexorable logic of all ages. Statesmen have sought a rem fedy and failed; demagogues have of fered their -quack medicines and they have been eagerly accepted only to be finally rejected, one after the other. Philosophers, students, teachers and preachers have all had their say and all sought their remedies, but poverty Btill exists. When there is no more sin we shall have no more poverty. .Leslie's.

Agnes, though we had been intimate friends, was older than 1. and she was still young at her demise. This brought me midway between her aud her daughter. When I assumed the care of Anne she was sixteen years old and 1 was twenty-six. It was very pleasant for both of us that we could be com panionable. Anne was a good girl, and I had u trouble with her whatever for twa years; then, she being of a marriage able age, I began to worry. A gentle man, Frederick Carrington, nearly dou ble her age he was thirty-two began to pay her attention. After all. thirty two is still yoong for a man. and Car rington was young for his age. On this account I opposed him for Anne, be cause I preferred to see her marry some dignified man of prominence either in business, in profession or in politics. . I didn't know whether Anne liked Carrington well enough to' marry him or not She usually confided all her af fairs to me. but this one she kept to herself. It was this reticence in the matter that led me to believe she had given him her heart. The only way 1 could hope to circumvent the man was to keep him away from Anne, and I must effect this without seeming to dcH so, for if the two got it into their beads that 1 was opposing them their attrac tion for each other would be enhanced by my opposition. During the winter I. resolved to give a house party at my country place. 1 invited Wilbur Crawford, a young man of whom 1 approved for Anne, and left out Fred Carrington. of whom I did not approve for her. When Anne looked over the list of guests she asked: "Whom are you going to invite fot yourself, auntie?" ., "My dear." 1 replied, "old maids don't need to invite any one for themselves." 1 didn't know whether Anne had anything to do with it or not. but While my guests were assembling who should drive up from the station and with two trunks but Fred Car. rington. I confess I was astonished and must have shown my astonish ment in my expression. - . "Anything wrong about my invlta tlon?" he asked, coloring. "Wrong: Why do you ask?" "Because it was written In a hand not yours, though In your name." "You are quite welcome," I said, "iu whoever's hand your invitation was written." ; What else could I say? It didn't take me long to discover that Anne knew more about who had written the invitation than she cared to tell, for It was evident that . she and Carrington had a secret between them! Their plot seemed rather plain to me. for Anne, who divined that I had Invited Crawford especially on her account, undertook to throw dust in my eyes by accepting considerable attention from him. While the minx was trying to blind me iu this way Carrington helped her on by pretend ing to devote himself to me. 1 didn't mind his devotion, for he was a very agreeable fellow, but 1 laughed In my sleeve at the attempt to outwit me. They kept this up during the whole period of my house party. Toward the end Wilbur and Anne seemed to be getting on so well I had a faint hope that Carrington would be beat en at his own game: that, having consented to Anne's attempting to hoodwink me, he had consented to her accepting the attention-of a rival, and a rival who would supplant him. A few days before we broke up Carring ton began to say sweet things to me. I listened to them for awhile." then said: - '.''.. "If you think you can impose upon me you are mistaken. I know perfect ly well your design- and that you have been encouraged ,and assisted by Anne." "I admit that Anne has assisted me. You Intended to leave me out from your. house party! Anne seut me a bid on her own account, but in your name." "I do not doubt it. I confess that 1 Intend Anne for another admirer." "Happily she and you coincide on the man. Wilbur Crawford." ' "Wilbur Crawford I" "Yes, I think be and Anne will be engaged before we break up." "Well, upon my word: And what are you going to do?" r - "1 have a hope that I shall be en gaged too." . 'To Anne? She can't marry yon tth." . - "Not to Anne; to you." "To me?" . - - "Yes. I have long admired you and confessed the same to Anne, who agreed to help me win you." "Well. 1 declare!" "Is it yes?" "The imp!" " " "What Imp?" . "Anne! To think that she has fooled me in this outrageous manner!" "That was for my good." "And I suppose she considered that It was for mine also." I was not in a' very pleasant position. I had opposed him for Anne, and to take him for myself would be shame ful. But Anne came for me hammer and tongs and finally persuaded me, saying that she wished to marry Craw ford and didn't like to leave me unpro vided for. So I finally consented. In Memory Dear.
