TI1KX AND NOW.
What do wo llvo for? To work.
What do we work for? To get the
means of living. This Is the philos
ophy of life which many people prac
tice, even if they do not preach it,
and through its influence existence is
reduced to a dull grind, from which
oven death seems like a wel
come and deslrablo escape. When
college prpfessors are asked to tell us
why wo ought to study the dead lan
guages they reply that many of our
Ideals in art and religion have come
down from tho Greeks, and that we
cannot understand modern life with
out studying the language of the na
tion which did so much to make mod
ern life what It is.
Truly wo have taken much from
tho Greeks. Whether tho study of
their language makes ub more or less
grateful for our obligations may be
questioned, but tho obligations them
selves aro Indubitable. One ideal
which tho Greeks had, however, wo
have missed. To them tho great end
and aim of human lifo was beauty
and happiness. To us beauty is a
thing of little consequence, and hap
piness Is trivial if it is not sinful.
Tho old Greek thought of his city
as a placo where human beings might
lead healthier and happier lives.
Whatovor Interfered with this end
tio removed. Whatever contributed
to it ho builded up, no matter at what
expense of time, money and labor.
Noble men were tho highest aim of
tho city and tho state. We, on tho
'other .hand, think of tho city as a
placo for making money, and what
ever interferes with that aim wo re
move. Wo think i worth whllo to
sacrifice human comfort and happi
ness to tho ideal of profit. Tho
Greeks thought no money profit
worth comparing with strong bodies
and blitho hearts.
It is interesting to sco how the dif
ferent ideals havo been worked out
in practice. Tho old cities woro clean,
beautiful and spacious; ours aro sor
did and ugly. Tho nnclents had to
depend upon slaves for their menial
tasks, whilo wo havo machines; but
upon tho whole, thcro was more lels
uro for all men in Greeco than there
is in America. Our machines havo
not niado things easier for tho com7
won man, though they havo increased
tho relativo wealth of tho million-j "Tho
aire. Could wo not wisely tako los-Whis

GOOD KVKNING.
I llvo in two worlds, one In which I
must consider the weather and clothes
and meals and bills coming due and a
host of duties nnd obligations, some of
which weary me. It isn't really a bad
world, and I haven't much ground to
complain of It. It is comparatively a
poor world, however, when net ngalnst
that other world Into which I retire
with every opportunity the glorious,
free nnd perfect world of my imagina
tion. Tho common world, the world of
meals nnd clothes nnd weather, I share
with everybody. No preference or spe
cial consideration is given to me. I
often get a kick or a cuff that I de
spise, oven though I know that I earn
ed it. Dut the other world is nil my
own. I am Its creator, king and mas
tor. Nothing happens in it that does
not please me; nothing exists without
my consent. It revolves around me: I
am its suu and center; nil else is sub
ordinate. There Is no order, system or
law In it that gives me the slightest
trouble, for I niter, change or abolish
these at my pleasure. Of course I es
cape whenever I can from the common
everyday world in which I am so In
significant into tho world which is
wholly my own. Orlando J. Smith.

An Unwolccmo Guest.
About this season of tho year
A little perm comes snooplns round,
Not blKcer than a pauper's hoiird,
But able quite to hold Its Rround.
Tho huiiRhty. husky son of toll
It meets and gets him on tho hip;
It gnaws Into tho Inner man,
And then a fellow ha3 tho grip.
Ho may be walking down tho street.
Without a caro upon his mind.
When, uttering no warning shout,
Tho llttlo germ comes up behind.
He docs not know ho Is attacked,
Because tho foxy germ 13 sly.
But when ho opens up his mouth
It goes lnsldo to multiply.
Next morning as ho starts to rise
Ho gets a sort of wiroless hint
That something's wrong in I1I3 lnsldo
And sayB soma things not fit to print.
Ills head seemi mado of solid lead;
He has tho toothacho In his bones,
And as ho tries to Umbor up
The neighborhood can hear his groans.
It dallies with him through the day;
It doesn't kill him on tho spot,
But sort of burns him at the stako
To add heart Interest to tho plot.
A boiler works Is In his head;
His body feels tho driver's whip;
Hla bones are broken on tho wheel.
And then ho knows ho has the gvlp.

There was an adjourned session In
tho Poet's Corner at the Milllcoma
Club on tho evening of the smoker.
"That leap year poetry about tho girl
who proposed was somewhat putres
cent," remarked "Billy" Ford, who
is given to largo sized English. "I
think it went something like this:
'Cut dad said yes,
Ho sort o' thunk
Ho liked a gal
What had some spunk."

"You see ho thought
Sho had somo scads,
But their address,

Then Dr. Ilaydon chimed In:
"But dnd's pleased with

Hero Ivy Coudron, who is always
practical, cut In with

W. It. Haines ndded his thought

upon legitimate industry, and ho be
lieved that purchasers of large tracts
would receive fair treatment in a
court of equity, if forced to go there.
But they seek to avoid equity pio
cnedings, and ask Congress to give
them what they do not have a clear
title. He objected to any legislation
which would in any way change the
status of these purchasers before the
law; they aro not entitled to special
relief.
If, after the grant is forfeited, Con-
ress should deem it advisable, lt
could, by a special act, extend relief!
to purchasers who are other than '
pure speculators, who aro expending
good money in developing their land.
Pica of Lumbermen.
Following Mr. Townsend, Arthur
Hill, of Saginaw, a heavy stock-hold-c
in tho Booth-Kelly Lumber Co.,
addressed tho committee In favor of
the "Innocent purchasers" amend
ment. His company, he said bought
in good faith and not for speculation.
Ho quoted Attorney-General Bona
parte as saying that purchasers had
no equities and therefore declared
they must bo protected by an amond
ment to tho resolution or enter into
litigation, which, he said, would last
fully ten years. He frankly admitted
on cross-questioning that what his
company wanted was a clear title to
Its 70,000 acres bought contrary to
law.
Oregon's Growth Retarded.
in concluding tho hearing the
committee listened to a brief argu
ment from Representative Hawley,
who has been following the matter
closely from tho first. Mr. Hawley
contradicted tho statement of the
lumbermen that the remaining land,
If opened, would not bo suitable- for
settlement. He knew of his own
knowledge of thousands of acres now
held by tho railroad which Is the
very best kind of farming or orchard
land, and he declared that thousands
of applications had been made for
this land by intending settlers since
1902, all of whom were refused the
right to buy. Ho explained how Ore
gon's development had been serious
ly retarded by this and other land
grants.
Danger in Amendment.
Mr. Hawley impressed on the com-
mitteo the importance of rendering
tho Attorney-General every possible
assistance in his suit against tho rail
road company. Should the railroad
company in any way bo released from
Its obligation It would bo In un
questioned possession of over 2,000,
000 acres of tho best remaining land
in Oregon, worth $35,000,000, and
no powor under heaven could compel
It to soil. Whllo ho said ho would
like to seo Oregon's Industries pro
tected and while ho wanted nothing
nioro than absolute justice done to
all parties, ho wanted full jusfice and
ho did not want tho railroad comp
any released from its clear obllga
tion. Portland Oregonian.
