THE EVERLASTING MYSTERY.
Companionship.
Men laughed in ancient Egypt long ago,
And laughed beside the Lake of Galilee;
And my glad heart rejoices more to know,
When it lenps up in exultation too,
That, though the laughter and the laugh be nev,
"The joy is old as is the ancient sea.
Men wept in noble Athens, so they say,
And in great Babylon of many towers,
For the same sorrows that we feel today;
So, stranded high upon Time's latest peak,
I can with Babylonian and with Greek
Claim kinship through this common grief of ours.
4
' The same fair moon I look upon tonight,
"This shining, golden moon above the sea,
Imparts a richer and more sweet delight
For all the eyes It did rajoice of old,
For all the hearts, long centuries grown cold,
That shared this joy which now it gives to me.
Whate'er I feel I cannot fesl alone;
When I am happiest or mos'. forlorn,
Uncounted friends whom I have never known
Rejoicing stand or weeping at my side
These nameless, faceless friends of mine who died
A thousand years or more ero I was born.

EW EXPLORATIONS are being made in Polynesia, and the indica
tions now are that there was a vast land area in mid-Pacific- at one
time, most of which, like the f'bled Atlantis, sunk, leaving only the
islands that are scattered through) the ocean, and there are permanent
'evidences that there was a far advanced civilization in that region. It
Is proven by the fact that tremendous irrigation tunnels were dut.
through mountain ranges which required, besldo great mechanical knowl
edge, a knowledge of some principles of surveying. Then there was an
elaborate code of water rights; there was a clear knowledge of the mo
vements of the heavenly bodies; they were familiar with the currents of
the great ocean, and made protracted voyages thereon. They had, too,
a system of writing, and their system of religion was most elaborate,
-and obtained a perfection and elaboration of ritual such as has been
equaled by few other peoples. All this Is to be explored, and It is hoped
that the explorations can bo made and the work describing them prc-
.- arod in the next fifteen years.
All that raises the question of whether men and nations do not, like
trees, have their seasons. They come up and flourish and then pass
iiway. In point of fact, our actual knowledge of mankind only goes back
four thousand years, and yet there aro proofs In Egypt and other coun
tries that the race existed there ten times four thousand years ago; that
they wont on from small beginnings until they got to bo in tribes; after
the tribes came nations; nations built their great works, marshaled their
jinnies, and then, through civil wars or from outside assaults, they be
gan to perish; then came the era of degradation, until they finally dis
appeared. It starts the mind on many a curious speculation. Was it the
design originally that men should thus come and go, that nations should
rise and fall, until finally perfection should be reached and man should
have dominion over all tho earth and all its elements and then eternity
would begin? There aro no answers to those questions. No one can
toll. Tho best that any one knows Is that mortals come here, they begin
in holplessness, within forty years sometimes they advance until they
rulo their fellow men, and make such an impression upon their age that
that impression never dies away until tho race Itself, either by wars, by
disease, or by soino overwhelming cataclysm, goes back into silence. No
one can toll, tho mystery is just as great today as it was in the days of
Job. Indeed, men seem farther away from tho real truth now than they
diil formerly, and it all is at best but speculation.
Wo flntter oursolves that our government was organized by divine in
spiration; that In tho thought of tho Infinite, men had suffered enough;
that, hence, a government was to bo organized where equal rights would
orao to all and where tho highest civilization would have a chanco at
last to establish itself, yet there are forces at work in our own country
which threaten to disintegrate it, to undo tho work of the fathers and
substitute something else.
There aro politicians who have now theories of what tho rules should
bo; there aro new creeds which, Hko every preceding creed, affects to
Jjolicvo It Is tho only one. And thus wo move, mere shadows that wo
-are, between tho cradlo and tho grave, and, save for tho few years past,
wo know no moro of tho past than wo do of tho future, and no voice
monies back to us to toll us whether our being originated hero and will
paso here, or whether, boforo tho world was born, our souls wore alive
aomewhore, and that they are to remain alivo through all tho rolling
xiges of etornity.
Tho final conclusion is that tho best any ono can do Is to do tho best
The can for himsolf and his fellow man, that thero must havo been a pur
puse In Bonding him hore, that tho agency which created him must havo
been a creation in mercy, and that tho farther our lives extend In this
or In any other world, tho moro capable will we bo of onjoyment, tho
clearor avM bo our wisdom and tho higher our hopes.

IT PAYS TO SMILE.
I could learn to love you
When you smile, smile, smile.
Popular Ballad.
This Is the smile age.
It is the new dispensation tho dis
pensation of optimism.
Take a look at tho portraits of our
statesmen of the past. They are near
ly all of one type stern of feature,
square cut as to mouth, dignified as to
pose. You will scarcely find the glim
mer of a smile on their faces.
It Is different nowadays.
Smile pictures are popular.
Note tho pictures of Theodore Roose
velt His well known visage is all
broken up and mellowed with smiles.
The picture shows either tho good na
tured grin or the teeth, revealing
spread of face. The bulldog counte
nance of the president Is broken Into
ripples like a pond Into which a stone
has been cast.
And the face of William J. Bryan in
picturel He is a smller of the most
expansive width a width as broad as
his countenance Is wide. It Is a con
tagious smile and is characteristic of
the man.
It Is significant that Mr. Taft is called
"Smiling Bill" and his running mate
"Sunny Jim."
We aro a nation of smilers. Tho
frowners are of the unique minority.
The surly boor Is In hard lines In
these days. We are learning that to
look at the -world through smiling eyes
not only sweetens life and brings sat
isfaction, but that It pays.
It pays to smile. It pays In health,
In spirits. In absence of friction. It
flays In lives made brighter.
Therefore hold up your chin and
smile.
Don't be stlng In stretching your
mouth. If you play miser that way
you cheat only yourself.
It Is difficult to appraise a smile at
Its highest. It Is an iutauglblc thing.
So Is the light an Intangible thing,
but It lightens a world. So is heat,
but It warms the world. So Is love,
but it redeems the world.
A home without a smile IS no home.
Smiles are as necessary In a house as
sunshine or air or warmth. They cost
nothing. They aro worth everything.
Smile!
Start the smile down In your dia
phragm and let it creep up into the cor
ners of that drooping mouth and wrig
gle up Into the corners of those luster
less eyes. Smile! It pay3.
A MARY BROWH MON0LOGUE.
"Who is that old maid yonder?"
I'll tell you who she is.
Her name Is Mary Brown, daughter
of John Brown. You remember John?
He was a good hearted kind of ne'er-do-well.
Mary looks a little old yes, evou
when she Is "fixed up." But she has
a good face, don't you think? And
she Is just as good as she looks. She
Is a woman "with a past," but the
past of Mary has nothing dishonorable
in It.
She is the oldest daughter and takes
after her mother, who was a mighty
nice woman who never had a chance.
If you remember, they lived upstairs
over a store building on Main street.
John Brown worked, when he "felt
well," at painting and wall papering.
He complained that ho bad contracted
"painter's colic" and had never got
over it. Well, John never was very
strong, and that's true. And one day
when he was a substitute over at the
stave factory n big knife machine cut
olf his right hand. After that he
couldn't do much except nt off jobs.
Mrs. Brown? A smart littlo woman
and ambitious. She always kept the
kids looking neat nnd clean throe of
them besides Mary two boys nnd a
girl. The woman just llternlly worked
herself to death over tho washtub.
Mary did the housework and helped.
When her mother died Mary was
sixteen years of age. That was four
teen years ago. Yes, Mary is just
thirty years of age.
Well, in all that fourteen years Mary
Brown has scarcely had time to raise
her eyes from her sewing at the cloak
factory. She got a dollar a day for
several years. She Is a forewoman
now and gets 9 a week.
And, would you believe It, Mary
Brown has kept those boys and tho
girl just as well dressed as tho aver
age? She kept her sister in school
through tho grades. One brother.
John Junior, graduated last year in tho
high school. He helped Mary a good
deal by selling newspapers. Tho other
boy took a course in business college,
and Mary can now take a long breath.
Tho old mnn? Oh, ho earned a
dollar occasionally. And ho was pret
ty handy round tho house. Died a
year ago. Ho had a very decent burial
Mary's money.
That's who Mnry Brown is.
And I'm telling you no secret when
I sny ono of the best men In this town
is going to marry Mary in the fall, no
knows what Mary is, and ho thinks a
lot of her.
Say, there's many an old maid in
this world Just Hko Mary. I don't
know how things would get along
without somo of them. But all of
them aro not as lucky as Mary.

DESPAIR NOT.
aK were not made to pass In sorrow
Our brief existence here away.
For griefs a cloud that on the morrow
. Gives promise of n brighter day.
i TJRiailT flowers decay, gay foliage
X fades
' Beneath November's chilly reign;
But, robed In gayer tints, the spring
Beholds the blushing flowers again.
SO when some grief has blighted hopes
Of happiness too dearly cherished
Too oft we deem that overy Joy
Has with departed Idols perished.
HOWEVER deep the wound wo feel,
However great our cause of sadness,
'Time rolls the clouds of grief away
And brings again our wonted gladness.
-L. V. Muller.
THE SUBTLE SPIRIT.
1 BUILT a temple for my spirit's homo.
I filled It with myself, and It wait
fair.
From Its dream pavement to its
drenm reared dome
No spirit but my own exists there.
About the walls I wrought with doting
care
Huge fancies alien to tho world of men.
Vague daubs and vast of youth and light
and air
Sublimely Isolated in my spirit's den,
I lived and tolled and dreamed and hoped
and then and then
Another spirit entered, subtle, slow.
Like summer coming when tho winter
flees.
With eyes that had the soft, warm, quiet
glow
Of somo calm evening of a day of ease.
And that was you! I felt, upon my knees.
A swift, mysterious spreading of tho
place.
My poor walls seemed to hold Infinities
Too vast for peace. I fell upon my face
And worshiped you at last, the spirit of
the place.
John G. Nelhardt
Tho absence of some people- Is high
ly appreciated by their interested ac
quaintances. Lest we forget, the man with a
bunch of bills comes around once in
awhile just to remind us thnt life is
not all milk and honey.
If a widow is beautiful It is pretty
hard for her to stick to her job.
Thero are lawyers who work with a
will. When they have finished it is
apt to bo badly broken.
The reason why some deals can't
slip through easily is because they aro
a little crooked and have not had their
curves lubricated.
You may need all you get, but if the
other fellow Is sharper it is his.
It is such a great comfort to a man
to think how kindly he is letting his
wife have her own way.
After all, most of us know a lot
about our neighbors that we don't tell.
Women aro really sorry for men, but
you never would guess It.
VIco is tho pride of fools.
The true btrcngth of a nation lies In
tho strong arms of Its working popu
lationand the otrong boxes of Us
trusts.

Every fat man is willing to do any

Happiness may be preferred to mon
ey, but not apparently among our best
people.
A self confessed saint is more open
to suspicion than a self confessed sin
ner. The peculiarity of tho intelligence of
some people Is its lmperceptlblllty.
Funny that while nobody really
wauts to buy a gold brick it always
finds ready sale.
Luck is a good thing to have, what
ever it is, but thero Is no question at
all 'about pluck.
It takes a lot to live and to live prop
erly; it takes a house and lot and then
some.
It always sems as If the ring of the

TO BUY HUBBY
.MISS ROWINS OF PITTSBURG OF
FERS $450 AND FURNISHED
HOME FOR MAN..
PJJSBURG, Sept. 19. Who will
marry Mary Rowins, aged twenty
four, fairly good looking, and will
ing to quit her Job in a pickle factory
to take up that of mistress of a
home? The homo is all ready. There
Is $450 in bank to Mary's credit. The
successful applicant for the post of
husband can have all three Mary,
the furnished home nnd the bank ac
count. Miss Rowins lives at No. G Pulaski
alley, and was to have been married
a few days ago. Her husband-that-was-to-have-been
was a young mill
worker. He had been out of work
for months, and sought to delay the
wedding because he had no money to
buy a new suit. Mary, however,
camo up with the cash and also with
$5 with which to pay for the bridal
carriage. Then the young man dis
appeared. Now the damsel announces she is
willing to marry anybody who wants
her, that fs, provided the applicant
is passably good looking and is not
already a beaedlct. She says she will
turn over the furnished house, which
cost her $750, and her bank account.
Miss Rowins is the orphan daughter
of a former well-known Lawrence
vllle mill worker, and has been a
worker herself ever since her tenth
year. She said:
"Harry (the deredict one) treated
me bad, and I never want to see him
again. Still, I have the house fur
nished, and I may as well bo mar
ried. Tho house is too largo for me
to live in by myself. I want a man,
not a monkey. Harry professed to
love me, but when tho time came ho
ran away. The next time I see him
I am going to pull his hair and make
him sorry he ever met me."
BRUIN RUNS OUT TOO FAR ON
AND LIMB BREAKS, CRUSHING
DOG THAT PURSUED HIM.
LEBANON, Ore., Sept. 19. Fall
ing out of a huge fir tree from a
height of 50 feet a quarter of a
mile from Lofton's mill, in the
"swale country," near Berlin, when
shot by hunters, a big black bear
struck squarely on a valuable hound,
which was instantly killed.
The remarkable incident was wit
nessed by a party of six persons, and
came as the culmination of an hour's
exciting chase with several dogs.
The "varmint" hound killed by the
falling bear, which weighed about
400 pounds, was owned by Corne
lius Kinder, and was noted as one
of the best trained animals in the
Hamilton Creek region. Kinder
would not have sold the dog for $500.
Bears have been numerous on
Hamilton and Scott Creeks this sea
son, and their depredations havo been
extensive. Many sheep and goats
have been destroyed by the ursine
marauders and ranchers have recent
ly hunted them as much from mo
tives of self-protection as for sport.
The trail of the bear killed near
Lofton's mill was taken by the party
on the ranch of John Prior, where it
had killed and eaten a young goat
less than an hour previously. Those
going in pursuit of the animal wero
Cornelius and Lester Kinder, Dennis
L. Taylor, Nelson Bellinger, Lyman
Fltzwater and a Telegram correspon
dent. Warned by tho baying hounds that
he was In danger, Bruin covered a
wide expanse of country in a short
time in the effort to shake off his
pursuers. His course led past the
ranches of L. M. Taylor, W. M.
Woolsey and J. M. Simons, and the
hounds were at their quarry's heels
when he took refuge in a giant fir.
Taking up their positions in lino the
hunters all "drew bead" on tho hear,
which had climbed to a height of
about 50 feet, and at a signal from
ono, all fired. Pierced by several bul
lets, the animal released its hold on
a largo limb and crashed downward.
Klnder's hound, eager to seize the
boar, rushed in, but misjudged tho
distance, and received the fo.l im
pact of the dead antmal's weight.
The dog's neck and back and several
ribs were broken, and it never moved
after receiving the tremendous blow.
