THE recent death of Mrs. Ella I
Wheeler Wilcox, the well known I
poetess, has caused marty Port
land people to recall the visit of the
poetess to Portland in 1903. She spent
several days here, with headquarters
at the Portland hotel.
At the time of her visit here she
was asked by Lewis A. McArthur,
now general manager of the Pacific
Power & Light company and at that
time a reporter on the staff of The
Oreponlan, to make a statement as
to her favorite poem and to furnish
a. copy of the poem so that it could be
reproduced in the news columns of
The Oregonian. Having no volume of
her poems on hand Ella Wheeler Wil
cox was unable to furnish a. copy of
her favorite poem, which she dated
was "High Noon," one of the verses
appearing In "poems of Power." She
wrote down from memory, however,
her favorite of that year, a 1903 New
Year's poem and gave it to the re
porter. The poem was printed In The Ore
aronlan and the original copy, in the
Author's own handwriting, was re
tained by Mr. McArthur. Recently he
loaned the original for publication
and a facsimile of several verses of
the poem, together with a "transla
tion" from pen to type are given
herewith. -
A New Year's poem of 1903 follows:
When with dancing and with singing
Comes the year's initial day,
I can feel the rythmic swinging
Of the world upon its way.
And the right still wears her fetter
And though justice still is blind.
Time's" beyond is always better
Than the path he leaves behind.
In our eons of existence
As we circle through the night
We annihilate the distance
Twixt the darkness and the light.
From beginnings crude and lowly
Round and round our souls have
trod
Through the circles winding slowly
Up to knowledge and to God.
With each century departed
Some old evil found a. tomb.
Some old truth was newly started
In propitious soul to bloom.
With each epoch some condition
That has handicapped the race
(Worn out creed or euperstltion)
Unto knowledge yields its place.
Though In folly and in blindness
And in sorrow still we grope.
Yet in man's increasing kindness
Lies the world's stupendous hope.
For our darkest hour of error
Is &s radiant as the dawn.
Yet beside the awful terror
Of the ages that have gone.
And above the sad world's sobbing
And the strife of clan with clan,
I can hear the mighty throbbing
Of the heart of God in man. -
And a voice chants through the
chiming
Of the bells, and seems to say,
"We are climbing, we are climbing.
As we circle on our way!"

Quest for Old Treasure Is
Bringing Results.
Gold and Jewels of Spanish Galleon
May Be Recovered.
"TOBERMORY. Scotland, Oct. 19.
X (By the Associated Press.) Salv
age operations on the galleon Do Flo
rencia, the treasure ship of Spain's
invincible armada, sunk off Tober
mory 330 years ago, are beginning to
yield results. These operations were
begun in 1903. Recently several
breech-blocks of cannon, bits of the
ship's hull and other relics have re
warded the treasure hunters' efforts.
The De Florencla was sunk by one
of the MacLeans of Morven, who fired
her powder magazine. If her main
stores are retrieved from the sea,
the ship should yield a rich haul, for,
according to contemporary chron
iclere, the ship's stronghold was full
of gold, silver plate and Jewels, in
cluding a crown intended for the coro
nation of the Spanish nominee to the
throne of England. By a covenant
made shortly after the wreck, this
crown, if recovered, goes to the King

The dealer named below have been supplied with 10-Day Tubes of Pep
sodent. This week a tube will be handed free to anyone who asks. Simply
present the coupon. The purpose is to urge a test of this film-removing tooth
paste, which leading dentists nowadays advise. Prove the results for your own

It Is Film
There is on your teeth a slimy film. You can
feel it with your tongue. It clings to the teeth,
gets between the teeth and stays.
The tooth brush doesn't end it. The ordinary
dentifrice does not dissolve it. So it clings and,
night and day, it may do ceaseless damage.
The results are Been everywhere in "cleaner,
whiter teeth. Some of your own friends have
them.
For home use, this method is embodied in a
dentifrice called Pepsodent. And this week you
can test it at our cost.
that clouds women's teeth, spoils
their glistening beauty and
is the basis of tartar.
The Tooth Wrecker
That film is the great tooth wrecker. Most
tooth troubles are now traced to it.
The film is what discolors not the teeth. It is
the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which
ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar,
are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Also of many
other troubles, local and internal.
That 'is why well-brushed teeth so often dis
color and decay, why tartar forms and pyorrhea
starts. You leave much of that film.
Tooth troubles are constantly increasing, as
statistics show, despite the wide use of the tooth
brush. And the reason lies in that film.
Now We Combat It
Dental science, after years of searching, has now
found a way to combat film. Able authorities
have proved it by convincing clinical and labora
tory tests. Thousands of dentists have proved it,
and at least a million people.
Based on Pepsin
aec us k,,rya-v'r.r'vlmwiTJK,
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of
albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The '
object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to con
stantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must be
activated, and the usual method is an acid harmful
to the teeth. But dental science has discovered
a harmless activating method. And that method,
used in Pepsodent, enables all to daily use this
efficient film combatant.
Watch the Results
We urge you to present the coupon. Get the
10-Day Tube and use like any tooth paste. Note
how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the
absence of the slimy film. See how the teeth
whiten how they glisten as the fixed film
disappears.
Compare the results with your old methods.
Then let your own teeth decide the method best
for you and yours.
This is of lifetime importance. Don't neglect,
it. Cut out this coupon so you won't forget.
