than one occasion that diplomacy, like
the foreign languajre spoken in the
presence of those who do not understand

that it must need print stories Of the

We can only construe this to mean that

"Chicago rather fancies a rest,"
say a besball heading. A great many
people are like Chicago in thi partic
ular, these mucky, rainy days.
Blood will tell, of course, but the
Prussian scientist who say he can tell
one man's blood from that of another
by the corpuscles does not seem to have
left much for tiie blood to tell.
Tourist and scientific students will,
as time goes on, be having such narrow
escapes from death on American glacier
as was reported yesterday from Mon
tana. Sooner or later there will be
business enough for professional guides,
like those who abound in Alpine vil
lages, to minimize the danger of inspect
ing and exploring these wonders.,
Fiala declares that the lives of his
men were -saved only by the fore
thought of Baldwin, bis predecessor, in
the command of the Ziegler expedition,
in depositing stores near Teplitz baay.
It is a pity that the financial backer of
the enterprise is not alive to listen to
this testimony to the capacity of the
man whom he displaced. '" " '

No mortal has set eyes on it
Since time began to roll;
Hence none may venture to confute
My notion or the pole. 4
I fancy it a fishing rod
I'pon a mighty plan,
With fame and glory for the bait,
Designed for catching man.

The Los Angeles Express admits that
financing the scheme io bring water
from the Owens river valley is a yet
unsolved problem, though it optinv
istically declares that all monetary difli'
culties will be cleared away. Accord-
ij to its latest assessment, Los
Aneeles has a borrowing capacity of
?23.0O0,UO0; but the city is already car.
rving a bonded debt of ?5.000,000, and
hence its further borrowing capacity is
limited to $18,000,000. The estimated
tost of the Owens river scheme is $23,'
000.000. The question of where the
money is to come from h still unan
swered.
The Oresonian's "simple answer" to
the query "why this degeneracy !"
anent the publicity accorded the Tag
gart case through its columns is quite
the most amusing explanation we have
yet read, not because the question at
hand is not sufficiently serious to re
quire studious comment, but because the
Oregonian apparently believes this lame
excuse, which strongly hints it is neces
sarv for a metropolitan newspaper to
print matter so lascivious a that des
criptive of the Taggart proceedings in
order to retain its patronage, will be
swallowed by its constituents. The Ore
gonitto heads its comment "An Inevi
table Consequence" and then goes on to
show that a "yellow" newspaper pub'
lished by a "group of very pious people"
is rc-pon-ible for the whole thing. We
presume the Sunday Mercury is referred
to, giving the proprietors of that weekly
the hf-nefit of the doubt, because we can
not, in any way, associate the Journal
with piety. It may be. however, that
we are in '-rror. Notwithstanding jt is
difficult to bring ourselves to believe the
Oregonian has fallen from the high perch
upon which it has squatted or a decade,
preserving dignity and expounding the
principles of high morals and lofty
ideals, nor can we believe that this staid
daily newspaper recognizes a competi
tor in the Journal; in fact, we still
labor under the impression that the
Journal is not doing business. "These
journals," continues the Oregonian in-
way of explaining why it stoops lo
profligacy "are pitched on a low grade
or ba-i, in -many ways or features. The
Oregonian must meet them or go
out of business. But the Ore
gonian is 'not going out of busi
ness. It will not descend to their depths,
but it will print clean versions of tor-.

THE THINGS I 'MISS.
An easy thing, O Peter divine,
To thank Thee for these gifts of Thine;
For summer's sunshine, winter's snow,
For hearts that kindle, thoughts that
glow. t
But when shall 1 attain to this
To thank Thee for' the things I missf -
1
For all young fancy's early gleams
The dreamed-of joys tlat still are
dreams,
Hopes unfulfilled and pleasures known
Through others' fortunes, not my own,
And blessings seen that are not given,
And ne'er will be this side of Heaven.
t
Had I, too, shared the joys I see,
Would there have been a Heaven for
met
Could I have felt tby presence near
Had I possessed what I held dear?
My deepest fortune, highest bliss,
Have grown, perchance, from things I
iuiiS.
Sometimes there comes an hour of calm;
Grief turns to blessings, pain to balm;
A Power that work sbove my will
Still leads me onward, upward still;
And then my heart attains" to this
To thank Thee for the thing I miss.

From childhood I had been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions sad boils.
