iHE .nJHW AGK, PORTLA-Kli. OREGrOK. 5 TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Iii(lnlKcn',p In regret Is to pay twice for eiH;ilt'iii.'c. IJuItiR nfrnld to nsk for Information Is not a sign of superior window. V1ipw! A twenty-live million-dollar salmon triiHt. Can this bo a Hsu story? Ho that rcKardcth last year's straw hat with contempt may still marry a grass widow. A woman ilmls little satisfaction In being loved If the fellow doesn't keep telling her about It. Kvcry time jou pick up n newspaper nowadays you are sure to read of "an other rich strike In Texas." Queen Wllliulinliiti's husband Is stay ing right at home and trying to mnke It pleasant around the palace. Life would be easier If It were true that wo get credit for the good we In tend to do as well as for the good wo do. Hellglmm controversy sometimes grows out of the fact that peoplo like controversy better than they like re ligion. The talk about France's "sphere" In Morocco reminds us again that It Is not neewwary to use the word "loot" when thero are ho many pleasant synonyms to be had. Kmix-ror William Is said to be a part ner In a railroad scheme to run trains 100 miles nil hour. Will 100 miles an hour be fast enough for His Progress ive Majesty? The dogs of fashion now wear rubber boots and mackintoshes In rainy weath er. Shirt waists will be In order next. How nice It must be to be Homchodj's put little doggie. Ho a paity of expert (Icriiuin ship builder have been Inspecting our ship yards. One point these subjects of the Kaiser can scarcely fall to appreciate 1h the value of the American working man behind the American machine. A fortune teller advised a Georgia farmer to dig at the end of a certain tullo race track and ho would find a lot of money. The fanner obeyed and un earthed $110,000 In gold. How that f. t must regret uhu did not dig herself. Almost everything seems to have been thought of In the way of food products, but now, thanks to the In ventiveness of a French planter, wo nro to have banana Hour. It really sounds quite promising, although, owing to the capaciousness of the human palate, It may turn out a complete failure. Our national life Is so complex, our population so betel ogoucous and cos mopolitan, our Invention so Irrepressi ble that word formation Ih Inevitable. At Hist these woids are called slang and their vogue Is among the lowly; presently they slip Into the vernacular of cultured people who are pleased with the bright color; lastly they are taken up by the best authors and their snug gle Ib over. Bchool havings banks have been praised because they teach the pupils habits of thrift. The principal of a school In West Virginia calls attention to the fact that the plan has also brought about a noticeable decrease In the amount of candy and gum con sumed by the glik and In the number of clgaiettei smoked by the boys. Kvl dcutly, theiofoie. the pupils are learn Jug what tin If t leally means; that It Is not merelj saving money, but saving It by cutting off useless expenses and foregoing bad habits. A inauufaetuier of farm machinery told a gathering of farmers that If ho treated the machinery In bis fnctory as they treated that which he made for them, he would soon be a bankrupt. The waste Involved In leaving Imple ments exposed to the weather accounts for much of that which Is classed as Agricultural loss. In liumeiibo estab lishments, or In large business enter prises the operations of which extend over it wide territory, what might lw called petty economic are followed. Minute CHre for slight details makes an Important difference In dividends. The managers cannot afford to bo wasteful. The extravagance of the Individual Is often In violent contrast with corporate prudeuce. Ho many newspapers are getting let ters written to the editor oiwutug with the phrase, "Will you please explain what goo-goo eyes are," that It begins to look as If the one who In the pausas of huklncsa, molds public oplntou a trltle Just to keep hi hnud In, was writ lug letters to himself to as to have the pleasure of answering them In his wide ly circulated and Intluentlal sheet, (loo goo eyes, It Is generally agreed, are that form of feminine g'mce Intended to melt one right down. To bo perfectly clear, they are tbo opposite of the look a man gets when he has carried the un posted letter a week lu his pocket. There Is only one thing to do when the goo-goo eyes look In your direction run, Time and ullghtenment have worked marvels In the Sunday school hymnal. It Is still trivt, however, that there Is set to music for the use of the UtUe ouce-a- week scholars In many churches dog;, gercl which no Intelligent editor would nccept even for a, funny column lu hjs paper.. So there Is always loom for such a revival of the crusade Mr betler hymns for tlio children nsPrands yny Inntf Parker stated In a convention at Detroit. "I wnnt to be an angel" was the selection singled out for special at tack by Mr. Parker. It Is an atrocious piece of verse work, tJiln and-fnlse In fccntlmcnt, weak In measure, and In all ways the reverse of Inspiring. There are many other so-called "hymns" Just as bad, however, and they are not all lu the children's books, either. If ono were to tnkc a blue pencil and go through the hymnals of the land, work ing with n mind single to the Intelli gence and self-respect of singers and worslilpers, there would be a striking cutting down of "sacred" verses. There arc plenty of good strong hymns In ex istence to occupy the voices of old nnd young hymns that deserve the name for dignity, beauty, sentiment and poetic worth. Hut the mass has been fearfully diluted by an army of writers whose solo Idea has been to produce stuff that would Jingle and yet be sulll dently " 'umblc" In tone. There In n good deal of sadness In the life story of Joseph Undue also a moral. He tore one, three, five no body can yet tell how inliny millions out of the frozen earth, and died Just us he was about to Invest It In happiness. You've seen I.aduc's picture. It has been published time and again In the newspapers. He whh the Kloudlko king. Years ago, nt Schuyler Falls, Pa., he fell lu love with Katherlne Mri sou. It was good, honest love. Hut the girl's parents wouldn't listen to tho poor boy. Had he possessed the inako up of some men he would have taken the girl and defied the parents. Some times that In n good method. Hut ho was as proud as he was poor. Ho said good-by to Katherlne and Hvvore Hint he would return to her rich, so rich that her relatives would be glad to wel come him. In the West he hunted gold for fifteen years. He found some, but not wealth. In lfcUIi ho went to tbo Klondike, and, after three years' wan deilng, discovered gold enough to inako all his dreams possible. He discovered something else that he waH an old man-old befoie his time. Ho had pa tiently endured the hardships tlmt kill ed thousands In the ley North. He had starved, frozen, overworked, nnd Na tine was preparing to mnke n mighty protest. Only his henrt was young. The snine old lovo was there. Ho was hungry for n sight of his sweetheart. IIIh soul was starving for tenderness, that sweet sympathy thnt only comes through a woman's affection. And so ho camo back. His pockets wero full of nuggets, nnd ho found tho welcome be had Hvvorn to earn. The people wero glad to meet Mr. I-ndue. 'They had for gotten the peniillosH boy of twenty yenrs ngo. They grasped his hand and Invited him to their homes. Thero was nothing too good for tho rich mnn. And ho married Katherlne Mnson nnd told himself that she was a wlfo worth waiting nnd working for. Now for hap Illness! Now for a future as bright as the nuggets lie possessed! Surely ho had earned It. No pair of lovers could have been better llttcd for n Joyous ex istence They had waited so long for their sunshine. Joseph Ladue was worn out. In twenty years he had lived half a century. Not all the doc tors In the world could, give him the youth he exchanged for wealth. Ho went to the mountains of the West In senrch of health, then gave up tho tin equnl struggle and returned to his old home to die. He was 17 yqars old when ho passed away. The fortune that costs years that might be tilled with happi ness nnd then life Isn't worth the price. Women ih MglillioiiHe-Koepers. Keeping a llghthoiiMi la essentially woninnly work. A well-regulated worn tin takes pride In bright, well-kept things and orderly surroundings. Her heart leaps up when hhe beholds the perfection of heaven's llrst law. The elderly woman can have a pro-, gram of work for the week Just llko any other housekeeper, although keep ing a llghthouoo Is not light housekeep ing, by any manner of means. In some lighthouses days nie set aside for sew ing, for burnishing tho lamps, for lend ing and writing, some of the keepers having nil extensive correspondence; nnd, If you please, there nre reception days, for a rule of the board enjoins the keepers to show the light and the sta tion to sight-seers. Lighthouse life can not be dull to a lover of such re-spouslve friends ns books and music. And so the Identity of the tall, grim light-tower Is lost In the home under the wooing In fluence of the koclnl nnd domestic nt tnosphere of the woman behind tho lamp. Woman's Home- Companion. Klementa of Nattoiml Htrngth. There are three products of the eartt upon which, to an exteut thnt Is nt most startling, under modern eon 11 ttous, the fortunes of nations turn. These are con I, gold nud Iron. Coal turns tho wheels of Industry and com merce and furnishes the motive force of the great naval euglueH of modern warfare. Gold, because of Its mauy valuable qualities, Is tbo Indispensable basts of the mouetary system of the world, iron lu Its various forms enters luto every matorlal part of life. To cut off the supply of these would par alyze tho world until science had found substitutes for them. The possession of them In largo quantities ani power to mnko them available constitute lm portant elements of national strength. -Ohautnuuunn, Auothor trouble old people have that the young know nothing about: In sum mer, their uose glasses won't stay oa. The wisdom of u fool la always con spicuous by Its absence. LEADING BUSINESS FIRMS' OF EASTERN OREGON, p ALSTON co. W W ) I . If ' Dialers la' Furniture, Carpets, Wall Paper tad ihsdei.
