It is after curfew. The mashers loaf on the sidewalk and wait on street corners. Here they come down the notice street arm in arm two young girls with fresh rosy faces. Ahundant hraids of hair fall down their backs littl wr,s romp tn the shoetons. Thev are school eirls ' without any more desperate adventures with sawwl an BkA Aovltr tonno ; OiiU 1U llltril cai it irCT.il.-. Somebodys darlings! says the Seattle Star. There is no chaperone and no escort- The girls are out alone and the hour is rather late. Watch them Eyes are not modestly dropped when the eyes of the passer-by is fixed upon them, and yet the eyes of the girts are not bold eyes, Is there just a hint of swagger in the gait as they pass some young man? Is it only sweet in nocent girlhood that appears in attitude and pose or is there something adde-t ? As you watch these young girls something hideous grips your heart. A couple of smart young men knowing young men follow the girls. Young men and young women are strangers to one another, and yet there is some sort of Freemasonry between them. The glances of the young men are bold. The eyes of the girls are riot timid as they turn them backward with the hint of a smile. Flip pant words are exchanged Trod help them; those slips of girls are on the edge of a precipice) but what can one do? If their natural guardians are not there to protect, what right have you to interfeie? Here and there may be found a brave spirit whom a great will move to stay am warn and take the risk, but such Good Samaritans are few. And so the young girls, infant women with fine passions and powers of womanhood, thinking to tread the primrose path of dalliance, go down to ruin. Whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the girls? Who sent them out into night or permitted them to go unprotected? Who failed or neglected to warn them of temptation? Who suppos ed when they had dressed their girls as well as the neigh bor girls their duty was done? There is only one answer to these Questions Father and Mother. What does your girl know about the abysses beneath her feet if you do not point them out? t What does she know about the associations tends to cheapen? How can she prize herself as she ought when her parents do not prise her enough to protect her from danger? How will she know the world's estimate of herself when she does not realize what she is doing? Think a moment. and Congress and the Japanese-Russian war cannot expect to attract much attention while the Oregon legislature is in session. The UeDublican manrin of 82 to GO in the Missouri hnnsp of representatives is the most nromisimr thinir in the state's outlook at present. In mrwWn warfare a fort is of verv little service. It can be approached from above and below, as well m from the four points of the compass. Port Arthur has fallen, ami the high tension of inter est there is over. For a permanent excitement there is nothing like a Colorado election. Here in Southern Oregon the meadow lark. r-lin red breast and blue birds are with us all winter. Southern Oregon is giwnl enough for them the year round. "The I'nited States," says the Chicago Tribune, "will soon be the centre of commerce." Every provincial American believes it is already the centre of the uni verse. Not content with a world's fair, the city of Portland has stepped in front of the spotlight with a municipal scandal, says the St. Louis Olobe-lVraocrat.

It is an old saying that there is no rest for the wicked. Mr. Bryan has already begun to reorganize the demo cracy. There have been many machines to save fine gold, but a fortune is awaiting him who will invest a machine to catch fleas.

It was automatically arranged so that when the cigarette was lighted the monkey would draw in the smoke and puff it out again. The works stop ped on one occasion and the monkey was taken apart to discover the cause, when the works were found to be clog ged and in a filthy condition. The moral was drawn thus: "If smoke from a cigarette will stop the works of a brass monkey, what will it do for you?" Can't Overdo Apple Business. A Queer Co-incident Just now Cottage Grove is embroiled in a red-hot school controversy result ing from the discharge of Miss Nan Hhivelyas teacher in the high school on the ground that she did not Ipossese the required certificate to teach. Miss Shively afterwards found and produced the missing certificate and seeks to re cover a years salary from the board. This, in brief, is the grounds for the controversy. The last issue of the Cottage Grove Leader contained a red-hot discussion of the local school question over the name "Taxpayer" but the chairman of From the Hood River Glacier. After a trip of three months to Indi ana ami other eastern states John A. Wilson has no longer any fear that Hood River can overdo the apple bSMSUCUl The orchards in Indiana have all been neglected, and today they look like a forest. No one thinks of spraying fruit trees in that country, and it is lasnua Bible to find good apples. Mr. Wilson says he started home with a half dozen Indiana apples in bin grip, but they spoiled before he got here. Years ago Indiana apples tasted like nectar to Mr. Wilson, but today he can t find anything to compare with the peer less apples from the Hood River. "Down at the St. Ixmis fair, if it wasn't for the apples from Oregon, Washington and Idaho there would hsve been a very poor showing of fruit. I didn't look over the exhibit with 11 pre j nd iced eye, t ut I must say there aas nothing to excel the Hood River Hp pies." It was 39 years ago since John Wilson set his foot M the soil of the Hosier state. He left there shortly after the war and crossed the continent by way of the newly constructed Union and Cen tral Pacific railroads to San Francisco. George Periolat with "Over Niagara Falls.
