BY MS. S. C. SINFOBD.
HAT have you done wun mc
30 years that lie between your
real and your apparent age.
and how do you account for your health,
visor and enjoyment of lifer" were the
questions recently put to James Luck of
Forest Grove.
"Luck lias always attended me." was
the laughing rejoinder of this sturdy,
well-groomed gentleman of 93. who,
without walking stick or spectacles,
was spending a Spring afternoon mak
ing social calls.
Born In 1815. in Suffolk County, Eng
land, just three months before the
battle of Waterloo, he remembers that
the mothers held up Napoleon's sol
diers as the bogle-men to keep their
children nr home.
Ho was 5 years old when -George IV
was crowned king. Kobert Peel and
the Iron liuke were making history
while lie played among the odorous
hedgerows of that rural land, whose
rustic loveliness and charm of splen
did antiquity never lose their hold
upon the hearts of her children. He
attended the coronation ceremonies of
William IV when he was 15. At the time
tit Victoria's accession he was engaged
in the milling business, a young man
of ii. W hen lie emigrated to this coun
try in 1859 there was. Just one rail
road in all Ungland. which ran between
Manchester and London. He was eight
weeks crossing the Atlantic.
Martin Van Buren was wrestling
wit" the financial problem, bequeathed
to him by Jackson, when the young
man reached these shores, and his Eng
lish conservatism took him into the
Whig party. He cast his first ballofcrfor
Zachafy Taylor In 1848. Ten years' res
idence here before exercising the fran
chise made him a valuable citizen. At
the breaking up of the Whig party he
at his lot with the Tlemocrats. He
greatly admires President Roosevelt,
however.
He married a New England girl and
resided a short time in NewYork, but,
being seized with the Western fever,
he moved to Oconomowoc, Wis., where
he purchased a farm, intending to till
the soil, but when his neighbors found
that he was a miller, they induced him
to go into the milling business, which
he followed 40 years. At the age of
"5 he retired from active business.
When his only child married John E.
Bailey, a loading merchant of Forest
Grove, he came West and now resides
' with them. At 90 years of age he, with
a party of friends, made the ascent
.if Mount Hood to a point some dis
tance below the summit.
He is a reader; takes five papers and
carries on quite an extensive corre
spondence: is conversant with the
poets, Tennyson being his favorite.
But he is at his best when he is de
scribing rural England. He has al
ways been a lover of birds; spent much
nf ills childhood watching and protect
ing them. As he described the flight
nf the skylark, rising from "where the
rarth is kissed with the sweet per
fumes of nature and the air caressed
with song." one could understand, some
what, Shelley's perfect sonnet. This
climate of Western Oregon is so similar
to that of England that Mr. Luck felt
at home here f i bm the first, enjoying
the roses and the outdoor life.
Reared an Episcopalian, lie remains
staunch to that church; but as his
Real Meaning of
It Symbolizes Principles That
BY J. L. JONES.
THERK are only four primary prin
ciples in the universe. A knowledge
of this fact would go far to sim
plify science, to facilitate Investigation,
and restrain tho misuse of words. These
principles are the foundations of the
true civilization yet to be created. True
social science, as yet unwritten, is based
on these. They are the principles of re
ligion as well as of law. . They are the
secrets of hygiene and medicine. Thoy
constitute the tree of life, and their
leaves are for the healing of the nations.
These four principles are Truth. Jus
tice, Love and Wisdom, symboliied by
the Sign of the Cross. Justice Is at the
top. Truth at the bottom, and the arms
are Love and Wisdom. The cross ia the
skeleton form of a tree, as well as of a
man. It Is the sign of alchemy or trans
mutation. It is the Key of St. Peter
that opens the secrets of heaven and
earth.
Peler means rock.' Foundation means
that which is poured. Rocks are poured
like water. They are lafgely composed of
gas. Concrete or cement foundations are
made as human bodies are made by pour
ing things solid and liquid together. The
foundations of wisdom are discovered by
portng over the secrets of nature.
ach of these principles has its oppo
site, and there are all degrees of perver
sion and corruption in reaching the oppo
site extremity. .Degree means a step
down. It is degradation through division
and descent. The absolute truth and life
Is above degrees. Absolute Is the oppo
site of dissolute, which means broken up
or dissolved. Absolute means Indivisible
and inseparable. It Is unity.
The cross Is the sign of peace; but in
verted, point upwards,- it becomes the
sword, the sign of war. The perversion
of tho principles of truth, justice, love
and wisdom causes war, dissension, divi
sion, disorder, disease and death. Their
application in uprightness is the cure for
all evils and the absolution from all sin.
The mystic virtue attributed in the Middle
Ages to the sign of the cross and the
sprinkling of holy water are not without
foundation in facts that are literal be
yond the dreams of the most extravagant
idealist.
In the mortal humanity, the principle
of love is perverted. The first command
ment forbids this perversion. The highest
love is the love of truth, justice and wis
dom. This is the path to perfection and
Immortality. The inferior loves are for
sensual pleasures and material posses
sions. Of course, people should have ma
terial possessions, and God is not too beg
garly to provide, i'here is abundance for
all, but they turn the banquet into a
tight, like dogs over bones. They injure
and destroy. They prevent one another.
The commandments of God, which are
the laws of social order - and economy,
are all violated. Till the people get to
understand these primary principles and
till they keep the commandments, there
can be only disorder and consequent pun
ishment. The way of the transgressor is
hard. Transgress means to run across.
To run across these laws is like running
Into a buzi-saw. They are vibrations of
ether and they cut, consume and destroy.
Tho unity of truth, justice, love and
wisdom constitute good in the absolute..
This la a scientific religion. God alone
is good. Alone means In oneness or

spirit of home seems to pervade the
room, especially when this hale 93-year
young man is present. He who has
provided this quiet peaceful spot,
where the weary and the faint may
bide an hour, with no thought' of un
paid salaries or church debt to disturb
the peace and serenity, may feel that
his presence has the beneficent influ
ence of a benediction.
What greater . success could , one
wish? To have been a good citizen, a
producer, doing his share in the work-a-day
world; to have lived so simply
that at his advanced age he possesses a
good digestion, good eyesight, strength
of limb, and beyond all else, good mem
ory and interest in -the affairs of life;
to have so loved his children that they
are constant in their love for and devo
tion to him; to be so agreeable that he
is ever an interesting companion, to have
been and to have done alt this is to have
attained success indeed!
The following lines seem especially apt

Are Fundamentals in Society.
unity. There is only one God and one
God in the absolute, as there is only one,
form for a circle or sphere or square.
And there cannot be any absolute good
or perfection short of the unity of these
four principles, for the lack of any one
of them would be imperfection.
But there are gods Innumerable In the
inferior degrees, in the dissolution and
division of the one. -'-The mortal human
ity comes through this .dissolution and
division. This is the fall of man. Man
descends from the gods through degener
ation. Man could not descend from a
monkey unless the monkey was originally
superior to a man.
God is not a fool. He is a great sci
entist. Mortal men cannot fool him.
They axe fools and he knows it. He is
loving and wise. He is true and Just.
He does not run after sinners personally
to punish them like a mother after her
disorderly offspring. The laws of nature
are fixed intelligently and act automatic
ally so that they catch the offenders 'a
goin 'and a-coming'.. The fool killer will
surely find his own and the devil get his
due. Divine Justice is perfectly perfect.
It is quite constitutional. It is fixed in
the nature of things and rooted in the
heart of the universe. It is different
from the laws made by men.
God punishes transgressors by permit
ting . them to make laws to govern one
another and so they torture one another
and make life as burdensome as possible.
They become unconsciously the agents
for punishing themselves for their own
greed and dishonesty.
The word principle should not be used
carelessly. It Is a name that should not
be taken in vain. For Instance, we hear
people speak of the principle of protec
tion. Protection is not a principle at all.
It Is a policy. Liberty is not a principle.-
It is a condition. The word prin
ciple is derived from princeps. prince,
and that from primus, first. A principle
is a primary creative impulse emanating
from the source of being.
But. as trees divide into branches,
similarly a great many properties, qual
ities, states and conditions may be
spoken of as principles In a derivative
or subordinate sense, but we. should not
forget to- relate them back to their ori
gin in these four primary ones so as
to preserve the conception of unity.
Corresponding to these four principles,
there is another set of laws in the physi
cal world which constitutes the framework
or skeleton of all physical sciences, and
these are so related together that no. sci
ence can be understood perfectly with
out knowing its relation to all others. Just
as we cannot understand the geography
of any country without knowing the place
of that country on the map of the world.
The Creator reveals himself througn his
works, and these can only be understood
In the light of those laws of correspond
ence that radiate from unity of person, of
design and of purpose. Tbe body social
corresponds to the personal body and on
the operation of the functions of the nat
ural body are based tbe activities of mind
and spirit. There is a relation between
physiology and psychology and political
economy of such intimacy that no one of
these can be understood if isolated from
tbe others.
The word economy is a Greek com
pound that means the law of the house
hold. Church Is a corruption of Greek
words that mean the house of the Lord.
There is a house involved in each word.
The body of a man is a visible house or
temple walking round on legs. The body
of society is easier to imagine than to de
scribe. Is has many beads and many
arms and is represented by innumerable
symbols.
We cannot separate religion from poll
tics and understand either intelligently,
for there are not two kinds of religion.

to close this sketch, .for they will appeal
to many who are spending the evening
of their lives in this equable climate:
Growing Old Gracefully.
Softly, oh! softly, the years have swept by
thee; f
Sorrow and care did they often bring nigh
thee.
Tet they have left thee but beauty to wear.
Growing old cracefully.
Gracefully fair.
Past all the winds that were adverse and
chiUinjr;-
Past all the islands that lured thee to rest;
Past all the currents that moved thee un
willing. Far from tlje port of the land of the blest.
Growing old peacefully.
Peacefully- and blest.
Never a feeling- of envy or sorrow,
Where the bright facet? of children are seen.
Never a year from their youth would'at thou
borrow.
Thou dost remember what lleth between.
Growing 'old willingly.
Gladly, I ween!
Rich in experience that angels might covet.
Rich fn k fate that has grown in thy years;
Rich in the love that grew from and above It;
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears.
Growing old wealthily,
Lqrving and dear.

one for ' Sunday and another for week
days. Justice is a Latin word and right
eousness a Saxon word, and both mean
the same, thing. Personal righteousness Is
not different from civic righteousness.
Justice is not variable. It is absolute.
The Sign of the Cross is a combination
of four squares radiating from a center.
The Cross is the golden rule in morals
and business, just as the square is the
mechanics and masonry. A square is
not a square unless it is absolute. A pair
of scales la not correct unless it is abso
lute. And in the scales (the symbol of
justice) we have the sign of the cross
again. When the beam hangs absolutely
at right angles to the upright, then the
balance Is true and the judgment just
Christ was the great1 carpenter and the
head of the order of Masons. He knew
the rules of the cross and the square. He
knew the meaning of a square deal. He
could build the temple of his own immor
tal body and on the same model and by
the same rules and laws he is yet to build
the temple of humanity. The laws of
ethics are as absolute as the laws of
mechanics, and these laws are formulat
ed in the ten commandments.
Christ did not come to abolish the
Ten Commandments, but to fulfill them
and make it possible for men to keep
them in the spirit as well as In the
letter. He did come to abolish the cer
emonies and mummeries and sacrifices,
that only symbolized and dimly indi
cated the true laws, but did not reveal
their actual meaning.
No wonder that Catholics honor the
cross. If they understood it better,
they would honor it more. If we all
understood the principles symbolized
by the sign of the cross, we would all
be good Catholics and good citizens.
Catholic means universal. These prin
ciples are universal. They are the laws
of cosmic order in humanity, cor
responding to similar laws in the phys
ical world. "In hoc slgno vinces" is
the statement of an absolute truth, for
by that sign we shall conquer all the
Ills of life.
The foregoing statements apply only
to the square cross. In which each of
the angles Is a right angle. The cross
Is so constructed that If any one angle is
right they must all be right, and if
any one ia not right tney are all wrong.
The square cross is the sign (plus)
which signifies addition or betterment.
The other cross Is the sag- of the bal
ance. It Is the sign of the"crosslng of
breeds, of adultery and adulteration
of the multiplication of sects and fac
tions and fads through the division
and disintegration of truth. It means
dissension-, disunity and disorder. It
is used in crossing out, marking off,
rejecting, culling out. In the form of
the crossbones accompanied by the
death's head It is the sign of deafn
and destruction. In the latter cross
the angles are not square. It is made
like the letter "X."
Macaroni Eating as
a Fine Art
DIDST ever eat macaroni, Italian style?
Say, It's great! They serve It on,a
platter that would be two feet square if
it wasn't round. It greatly resembles
Medusa's head on a, platter. It looks like
snakes, but it isn't. You eat it with fork,
spoon, knife, fingers, face, chopsticks or
scissors, as you prefer.
In the real Italian style it comes In
strings. Macaroni originally was invented
to be fed through a keyhole. The strings
are of indeterminate length. 'Any good
Italian could start masticating a piece
(the other end of which was on top of
the Masonic Temple) and finish within 73
seconds. A boa constrictor could eat a
string of macaroni if he were long
enough.
It's an art. That's all there is to it.
But that isn't all there Is to it. Some peo
ple say It Is an acquired art others in
sist that you must be to the manner
born. Some say the Italians have reels
inside and there may' be something in
this, for they eat as though feeding a
machine by machinery.
No one has ever dared to measure the
length of a single strip of macaroni; like
the population and circumference of the
world, it has to be estimated. Estimates
differ, but . all admit that it is long
enough except the dyed-in-the-wool Ital
ians. A dish of macaroni, Italian style, con
sists of one of these strings festooned in
Imitation of the Gordian knot. Some cut
the Gordian knot, others absorb it. The
absorption process may not be the most
elegant, but it sfrrely is the most general.
Gentle reader, if you are ever led up to
a platter of macaroni. Italian style, and
find ell the exits closed, grit your teeth
and go at the thing with firm determina
tion and a timber fork. Gently decoy the
left end of the string on your fork and
begin to wind. Rotate the fork vigorously
for some four minutes in the right hand
and then transfer to the left. Then when
the wad has assumed the size of a 10-cent
spool of darning cotton, open your mouth
with-your fingers and punch it in.
A convenient way for the amateur to
consume the dish it to get some kind
friend to find the end of Jhe string.
Once having discovered this, distinguish
it with a bit of red silk ribbon. Then
look for the other end. If not- found
within 15 minutes, ask the waiter's assist
ance. .
When the end is reached your pace of
engulfing the string will have increased
so that probably the end will slip into you
unnoticed. But do not let this worry you.
Tou have foufld the end even if you have
lost it. Look at your plate! It is empty!
Aha! at lest you have accomplished the
gentle art of absorbing macaroni.
Finally the Worm Turned- .
A muscular Irishman strolled into the
Civil Service examination room, where
candidates for the police force- are put
to a physical test.
"Strip." ordered the police surgeon.
"What's that?" demanded ; the unin
itiated. "Get- your clothes off, and be quick
about It," said the doctor.
. The Irishman disrobed and permitted
the doctor to measure his chest and
legs and to pound his back.
"Hop over this bar," ordered the
doctor." '
The man did his best, landing on his
back. - , .
"Now, doubl up your knees and
touch the floor with your- hands.
He sprawled, face downward, on the
floor. He was Indignant but silent.
"Jump ' under this cold shower,"
ordered the doctor.
"Sure, that's funny!" muttered the
applicant. .
"Now, run around the room 10 times
to test your heart and wind' directed
the doctor.
The candidate rebelled. "111 not; Til
sthay single."
"Single?" asked the doctor, sur
prised. "Sure," said the Irishman; what's all
tnis fussing got to do with a marriage
license?"
. He had strayed into the wrong office.

At a dinner in New York Dr. Charles
F. Aked. of the Fifth-avenue Baptist
Church, illustrated with a story the harm
of church controversies. "There was an
Argyleshire elder," said Dr. Aked,
"whom I asked one day in London how
his kirk was getting along. 'Aweel. said
he, 'we had 400 members. Then we had
a division and there were only 200 left.
Then came a disruption and only ten
remained. Then we had a heresy trial
and now there's only me and my brither
Dugald left, and I have great. dooLs of
Dugald's orthodoxy."
It ha" now been decided that th Prince
of Wales and his entourage will not re
main on board ship In the St. Lawrence
during their visit to Quebec, but will stay
at the citadel, the residence of the Governor
General, where Earl Grey and Ms staff will
also reside.

SAN FRANCISCANS, and all Califor
nians. for that matter, look upon the
rebuilding of the Palace Hotel as being
the ocular demonstration of tjie rebuild
ing of San Francisco. The historic hos
telry is so interwoven with the life of
the old San Francisco that it seemed
really an integral part of the municipal
ity. So well was the old Palace Hotel
built that it required six months' time
and the expenditure of J90.000 in cash
to remove the ruined walls so that the
site could be ready for the new building.

THE object of tlie Fields and Work
shops Society ia: To select fami
lies from the congested districts of
our cities, and to help hardy immigrants
who flock to our shores to locate on
farms. Every reader of current litera
ture or the daily press faces constant
public recognition of the fact that the
conditions now festering in our political.
Industrial and social Jife threaten, every
republican Institution and put civilization
itself upon trial.
Every propaganda of social disorder
finds Its converts among those to whom
the gates of opportunity seem forever
closed, or who are buried In abject pov
erty. There can be no morality to conquer
the cravings of a hungry stomach. To
legislate against nature Is more than
folly. To do that is to bark at Justice.
Like a beast, he who is hungry will steal,
rob, and even your life Is. at the mercy
against 'his hunger. And although the
question is being daily asked, as to what
is to be done, no one is offering any solu
tion that is in any way commensurate
with the need; yet an adequate solution
must soon be offered If free men and
free Institutions ' are to endure. These
people must be led out of social darkness
into the sunlight of physical comfort and
well-being. Human sympathy must have
something to offer.. The hungry stomach
must be filled.
There are two ways by which it can be
done the right way and the wrong way.
There Is no alternative; one of these two
ways you must take. Choose, then, for
choose you must. Support him or let him
support himself which? . Build alms
houses, feed him .there; build . prisons,
feed him there, or give, him the oppor
tunity and his own labor will provide, for
his needs. Cast your vote which? Right
or wrong which? Happiness or misery
which? Charity or Justice-which? . Bless
ings or curses which?' "
Opportunity and not charity is the rem
edy for the present crisis. To permanent
ly solve the problem of the unemployed,
it will have to be opportunity. By char
ity, never. Charity disintegrates every
thing It touches. The giver and the re
ceiver are demoralized. We humiliate
our neighbors by making them ,the recip
ients of charity, and thus destroy the
very foundation of all religious belief, for
who is there who does not dread to be
come a public charge? To love our neigh
bor as ourself means not to do unto
others that which we would not like to
have done unto us. How a church can
conscientiously engage in missionary
work when it does not fulfill this com
mandment is Incomprehensible. Opportu
nity and not charity is to love our neigh
bor as ourself. With the sweat of thy
brow thou shalt eat bread Is a sclentinc
principle, which is In the world. Oppor
tunity, not alms, is given us, so should we
give opportunity to our brothers In need.
The opportunity consists in the mem
bers of our organization loaning us their
credit as far as they are able and willing.
Say an amount equivalent to that which
they now spend in charity, thus: Mr. A.
gives annually $1000 to charity; in seven
years he would have given $7000; so in
stead of giving his money away as here
tofore, he now keeps his money for his
own use, but loans this society his credit
(not actual money) for $7000. That is to
say, he gives his note for $7000, payable at
the end of seven years. Those notes will
be deposed with a trust company, and

The Old and the New Politics
This Yriter Has Sampled
DRYAD, Wash.,. May 24. (To the Edi
tor.) Some people never appear to enjoy
a dish without a whole lot of trimmings
which add nothing to the taste but only
to the appearance of the food in question.
This reminds me of the Old Kentucky
Colonel who had survived to a ripe old
age on plain whisky, until a chance ac
quaintance came along and Introduced to
him a mint Julip and the art of making
the same. Well, the Colonel stuck to
the new beverage so faithfully that In
Hess than a year . he "passed in his
checks." His son, a bright youth by
the way, remarked that "dad should
hever have learned to take grass In his
"whisky." This also reminds me that
the Republicans of Oregon should never
have learned to take to politics with
trimmings. The thing works against the
taajority party, every time.
Let me see how plain politics works
In Missouri, a Democratic state 'with
"primary law, frizzles,etc The campaign
lopens, say, In May with about six candi
dates for each office, riding about the
(county canvassing for votes, eating free
Uinners, and getting free horse feed; each
teure of the election and getting a promise
of support from every voter. Primaries
come off. Result, five out of six beaten,
five soreheads and a whole lot of friends
'whose heads are sore in spots.
And now the fellows who believe in
plain politics have their innings. Al
though in the minority by a large set of
figures, some day agreed on they all ride
over the hills and down the hollows to
the county seat nd hold a convention
of delegates. Judge B. is put in as
chairman. The Judge makes a short
speech telling tka assembly that they
liave come thefe to put up a ticket to
'be voted for. The Judge weighs 300
pounds and means what he says too. So
the ticket Is named without frizzles.
'Everybody gives a shout for the ticket
and goes home.
Now comes some good plain politics of
the kind which our fathers played. The
