Politician Tells the Man From
Mars a Few Things.
"How do you manage your railroad
in this country?" inquired the man
from Mars. "In those countries of
the old world which 1 hare visited
they are owned and managed by tho
government."
"Inasmuch as I havo never been
nbrond," replied the politician. "I must
af course conclude that their methods
are purely theoretical. We in this coun
try pride ourselves on being practical."
"May I ask you to explain?" said tho
man from Mars.
"Certainly." replied the politician.
"Our practice proceeds on the theory
that the government is too poor and too
Inefficient to own and manage our rail.
ways. Accordingly the work Is turned
over to private individuals."
"And are the individuals trustwor
thy?" "By no means," said the politician
"We havo to appoint railroad commis
sions to watch them."
"The commissions, then, nre to be
depended upon?"
"Not at all. They are watched by the
legislatures."
"And the legislatures?"
"They in turn are watched by the
magazines."
"Oh, I see; the magazines are the
final arbiters. That is very interest
ing." "No; you are mistaken. The maga
zines nre watched by the people."
"Of course. It finally gets back to
tho people. They net upon the informa
tion provided by the magazines. Surely
the people do not need watching."
"Wrong again. That's where we
come in," said tho politician, proudly
sticking his thumbs in the armholes of
his waistcoat "We have to watch the
people to keep them from watching
us."
"And how does it all work?" Inquired
the man from Mars.
"We are living very easy, thank
you," answered the politician. Success

"Thot Is what yez call a dead ship,"
replied Patrick.

""Women," observes tho Rev. W. A.
Bartlett of Chicago, "nre more exclu

gaze askance nt the newcomer who
does not belong to their set"
All of which is true. And the Chica
go divine might have added the addi
tional truth that women are also nar
rower than men, less generous toward
human faults and fallings and prone
to viow strangers with suspicion.
It is the exceptional woman who will
tako a stranger on trust and think no
evil.
Tho brotherhood of man may some
day be realized, but the sisterhood of
woman will Ing behind the millennium.
Women nre not wholly to blame for
their petty child's play of belonging to
a specinl circle and looking down on
the rest of creation. Centuries of Igno
rance and false standards of life are
welded into this bauble called "exclu
slveness."
It is fostered by silly pride and bol
Btered up by empty heads, and dually
it bocomes a fetich to the woman and
a matter of groat envy to her neigh
bors.
To bo "exclusive" is to miss the best
of life, to bar out knowledge, to live In
a hencoop.
Your true democratic eye takes In the
full sweep of the horizon. It Is not
fixed on a knothole In the wall.
I pity the "exclusive" woman pro
foundly. How very, very tired she
must get of tho snmo old bores in the
same circumscribed social set, even
though that set holds nothing but De
Peysters and diamonds!
When you visit tho social dictator at
Smith's Crossroads you quickly learn
to place the residence by the warmth
of your hostess' smile or the stony cold
ness of her stare.
It is the same old pretense that the
city keeps up transplanted to the
cruder environment of the village.
There may bo many more Interesting
people outside the society woman's
doors than In, bnt she will lose caste
if she admits them, so she Iguorcs
their presence.
It would require courage to Invite to
our homes such people ns we really
llko or who need our friendship and
thrust out the Inane, the vapid and no
account, wouldn't it?
If I find Mrs. O'Brien, the washwo
man, more interesting, ns she certainly
is wittier, than Mrs. de Gasoline, why
shouldn't I have her at my party or
reception?
Half the wrinkles that Ihn the mod

reality they are but common clay.
MY LINEN CLOSET.
A Housewife's Clever Invention For
Keeping Her Table Linen.
My linen chest, says a housewife in
Good Housekeeping, is of solid wood
thirty-five Inches high nnd forty-six
Inches wide. It Is divided ncross the
center into two compartments, each
with a drop door thirty-nine inches
A NEW INVENTION
wide and twelve inches deep. These
doors are supported by chains and
form a good resting place for the linen
while being selected. Each compart
ment is again divided by n sliding shelf
which has a deep groove on the under
side, five Inches from either end. These
nre made wide enough for the insertion
of four fingers, making It easy to draw
the shelf out and thus show exactly
what It holds. The upper door has' a
spring latch and the lower one a lock
and key. In tho hitter the finer arti
cles are put away with no fear of their
being handled. This chest can bo made
perfectly plain or as ornameutal as one
may wish. In this case the prevailing
stylo of woodwork iu the dining room
was followed. The flat top makes a
good serving table.
Unbleached Muslin.
The possibilities of unbleached mus
lin are not appreciated. This cheap
material Is of a mellow, creamy tone
which lends Itself peculiarly to artistic
decoration. For summer cottage hang
Ings it is a most desirable material,
the unevenness of weave suggesting
certain silken fabrics. A pretty bed
room In a summer cottage had the walls
papered wlta delicate pink, and yellow
roses upon a creamy ground, while all
tho hangings the window curtains,
the door curtains, tho bedspread, tho
couch and chair covers and cushions
were all of unbleached muslin finished
with bands of cretonne to match tho
wall pnper. Tho room was charming.
Tea Cozies.
The "old maid" tea cozies are tho
quntest llttlo affairs seen in an art
shop in n big city. They are built
upon tho wlro frames which resemblo
lamp shade frames and nre bought for
but rests.
Upon one of these Is mounted the
quaintest little terra cotta head, with
hair drawn plainly back Into n suug
knot nnd with features kindly, but un
mlstably of the spinster type. The
wlro frame, which simulates a hoop
skirt, is first padded, then piled with
layers of berullled organdie. It is a
clever novelty nnd has figured with
popularity as the consolation prize at
bridge parties.

Stage Line Man Petitions Dou
glass County Commissioners,
to Improve Coos Bay Route
ROSEBURG, Ore., July 2. The
Roseburg Review says: "James
Laird, of Sltkum, Coos county, tho
veteran stage-line man, has a very
largely signed petition to the county
court of this county, asking for' -an
appropriation of $1,000 for the Im-
'9-
provement of the wagon road from
the lS-mlle house to tho county lino.
This is perhaps the worst portioned
the old Coos Bay wagon road, reach
ing, as It does, over the "backbone"
of the Coast Range mountains. It is
Imperative that this road should bo
substantially improved or the mail'
service between Roseburg and Marsh
field may be entirely cut off durlng
next winter. The Marshfield Cham
ber of Commerce during last winter
used every effort toward expediting
the mall service between these points
and a large portion of the heavier
mail had to be diverted to other
routes the Drain and Coos Bay
route or by steamer from San Fran
cisco. To avert the probability of
losing this traffic altogether. It is im
perative that the road between Rose
burg and Marshfield be put Into such
condition that the malls can be car
ried through in a reasonable time at 4
all seasons of the year. Mr. Laird's
petition has been almost universally
signed by Roseburg's citizens and
will doubtless be favorably consider
ed by the county court."
FREIGHT RATE REDUCED.
New Tariff From Portland to Bandon.
Shows Reduction of $2 n Ton.
PORTLAND, July 2. By the end
of the week, Portland merchants will
be in position to make shipments by
the water route direct to Bandon at
a, saving of $2 a ton, and they will
receive much quicker service. F. P.
Baumgartner, of the California &
Oregon Coast Steamship Company,
owner of the Alliance, has returned
from a business trip to Coos Bay.
While there he made arrangements
with a company which will place tho
new gasoline schooner "Wllhelmina in
commission between Coos Bay and
Bandon next week to take care of
Portland freight destined to the lat
ter point sent to Marshfield on the
Alliance. Heretofore all such ship
ments have been going by rail and
boat from Marshfield at a rate which
was practically prohibitive. Under
the new arrangement the volume of
freight traffic to Bandon from hero
Is expected to be trebled.
WAVES GIVE UP PURSE.
Capt. Johnson's Wife Recovers Lost
Pocketbook.
WEDDERBURN, July 2. Whila
coming over the bar last Saturday
with her husband, Captain Johnson
of the schooner Enterprise, Mrs.
Johnson lost her purse containing;
$20 and some papers and keys. Yes
terday a gentleman, while at work
on the beach, picked up the purso
and returned it to tho owner. Every
thing was intact save the nickels
and small change and the iron parts
of the purse, which were in bad con
dition by reason of the action of the
salt water.
