OFFICIAL PAPER OP TM13 CITY OP PORTLAND O ye loved ones, that already sleep In the noise less Bed of Rest whom In Jlfe I could only weep for end never help; and ye, who wide-scattered still toll lonely In th. monster-bearing Desert, dyeing the flinty ground with your blood yet a little while, ii ml we whall all meet there and our Mother's bosom will screen us nil; and Appre hension's harness, and Sorrow's flre-whlp, and al the Gehenna Huillffs thut patrol and Inhabit ever vexed Time, cannot thenceforth harm us any more. Carlyle's "Sartor Reeartus." G THE GOVERNOR'S ATTITUDE OVEKNOR CHAMBERLAIN has very wisely taken the position that before he will definitely consider the calling of a special session of the, legislature lie wants a distinct understanding that It will be limited In , , Ita operations solely and exclusively to the only object for " which It could at this time legitimately be called, in as sumlng this position eyery taxpayer In the state, lrrespect Ive of his feelings with reference to a special legislative I session, must cordially agree. If the doors are to be thrown . wide open no one n tell where the floodtlde of 111 dl v gested legislation will be carried. It is only natural to " ; believe that all sorts of legislative schemes will be sprung ! and It Is not at all certain that at the end of the appointed 20 days the real matter In which the whole state Is con : cerned, the tax levy question, will be disposed of or, if it ' should be, whether the work will be more fortunately con ' ' eluded than It was at the regular session. Enough has already been heard to make It plain that v the people of the state want an extra session; enough facts have been published to make perfectly evident the dreadful financial condition In which many of the com munities of the state will find themselves unless they secure relief which only a special session can grant. While all of this Is true the feeding Is well defined that the special session should devote ay of its time and attention to a consideration of the tax levy bill, that It should promptly "'dispose of this question and having done so, that It should , Immediately adjourn. If the matter Is carefully consid ered beforehand there Is no good reason why this should occupy more than a couple of day's time, for all that Is really required Is the repeal of the new statute ad the ' substitution of the old. ; Public opinion will strongly endorse the governor In his well-Uken position and sustain him in It until he has received such pledges am will Justify him In calling a special session under the conditions which he deems so essential and in which the taxpayers of the state so cor dially uphold him. of them it surely can give only the barest hint of what the future must show, for what Is here produced are the very staples of life which the world at large must have. If the people of the state could only understand the amazement of strangers who come here and their enthus iasm over conditions which v are to apt to Vccept as a matter of course, and we could catch from them some of the same spirit, the growth of Oregon and Port land In the next five years would be a source of sur prise to the whole country. A strong tide of Immigration has already set thin way, a new growth Is upon us and already Its quickening effec t Is apparent to every dis cernlng eye. Portland Is t lie center of this great North western hive of Industry nml It rests entirely with our selves for it always to remain so. We therefore owe our selves a duty to which we should not prove recreant, Let every I'ortlander stand shoulder to shoulder for the honor, the good name and the advancement, morally, financially and commercially, of the city and the newer and greater Portland will be an accomplished fact before we fully realize it. DOWIE IS THE IMAGE OF THE FATHER 'HE DENIES SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS T PROSPEROUS PORTLAND AND OREGON IN MANY RESPECTS our own people have a poorer ap preciation. If not conception, of the resources and possibilities of this great state and city than strangers who are making a temporary sojourn here. Our natural tendency is to undervalue rather than to overvalue our re sources and such statements being always discounted by those who listen to them, in the very nature of things we i too often get much less than we are entitled to. - At no time have conditions been better for a steady, healthy growth RiTttTno time has the cltlaen Of Oregon had better Justification for being a "Sunny Jim" rather than a "Jim Dumps." One occasionally hears an expres sion of regret that the high tide of feverish, if not more or less fictitious prosperity, which swept over the East has never been quite duplicated In this section of the West. For this we should be congratulated. Conditions have forced the growth here. Therefore we have no fictitious values and no watered stocks from whose shrinkages to --suffer.-- If we have -no- muRl-mllllonalres to dazzle the foolish with their ostentatious display, neither have we, on ' the other hand, any very poor to excite our' pity. Our growth and its attendant healthy prosperity has been widely diffused and everybody has felt its effects. In no respect has there been speculation and In none over-stimulation leading to Inflated prices, we are therefore, on a sound financial basis with no chickens of 111 omen to come home to roost. Indeed it is but stating the actual fact when we say that the natural growth and development of the country and business aris ing from them have pushed us along whether or no. Consider the enormous and diversified productions of this great state, including lumber, timber, precious metals, cereals of all kinds, hops and other vegetable products, wool, fruits, livestock, dairy products, salmon and other fish running literally into the millions, not to mention any of our manufactured products. A golden stream is flow ing in every day, conservatively estimated at 1200,000,000 - a year, and this with a population of little over half a mil lion people. All of which must mean, if It means anything, that the people now here must be enjoying unexampled prosperity and with such a large undeveloped state back HE OFFHAND DICTl'M of a Portland school dl rector that the children do not go to school to play but to study, is not calculated to evoke wild en tnuslasm among parents who have children In the Bchool, nor to unduly exalt whatever Intellectual estimate they may have had of the gentleman who made It. In a sense the children do not go there to play but any statement which would evolve a rule that It Is proposed to keep them at work all the time without any intermission for recreation, should arouse the Indignation of every citizen who has the welfare of the children at heart. To some people It would appear that children can be educated by a mathematical formula and that If square pegs cannot be made to fit In round holes, they should be made to fit, no matter how great the strain upon them. it would appear, too, that In estimation of some of these officials It was a condescension even casually to pretend to listen to a suggestion from the people who, after all, pay the taxes and who, as parents of the children, are pop ularly believed to have some little Interest in their welfare. There Is also manifested a disposition to have the public believe that the public school system Is sjmply perfection as It stands, and that nothing could possibly be sug gested that would not harm It, a rather unwarranted view to take of a developing science such as school manage ment and teaching assuredly is. But The Journal at this time Is disposed to confine It self to the question of open air recesses for the children. When It comes to a matter of the health and well being of the children we submit that these considerations tran scend all others. A reasonable discussion of them seems to be within the province of the public which pays the bills. At a so-called boy conference which gathered to gether men from all over the country at the Central Y. M. C. A. In Chicago last night. Prof. C. A, Henderson, of the Chicago university, made this statement: There are a number of Important causes which make it easy for a boy to go astray. One Is that our public schools as at present conducted are. in adequate to the needs of the child. The churches are not doing all they should for the boys. All our forces should unite In securing more play grounds In the large cities. No public educator seeks to belittle such a statement as this. In the very largest cities It is almost impossible to get adequate playgrounds, but the need of them is keenly felt nevertheless, and their Importance is realized. What Is true of other cities should be equally true of Portland, and of quite as much consequence to its people, the school and school board authorities upon whom such grave responsibility rests, not only In building up the mentality and character of the children, but In stimulating the physical growth as well. - ANOTHER REASON FOR AN EXTRA SESSION A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN of Corvallls In a private note to The Journal says there Is one point which strengthens the demand for a special session of the legislature that so far has been entirely overlooked. Practically every county in the state has made Its assess ment and has had its rolls made up for the collection of the 1903 taxes. This work thus far has cost the 33 coun ties of the state approximately 150,000 which will simply be thrown away in th event no legislative relief is granted. "Personally," writes this gentleman, "I would rather not have a special session, but as a citizen and taxpayer, I do not believe It can be avoided. For this reason I believe It should be called, that the $300 exemption law should be re-enacted, the new tax law repealed and the old law sub stituted." There is little doubt that the public sentiment of the state will strongly uphold and Justify the calling of a special session of the legislature. From the Atlanta Journal. "There Is no doubt in my mind nor in the minds of any one else who was as sociated with John A. Dowle and John Murray Dowle while the two were to (ether In Chicago and Zlon City, that mey were father and son, "As private cook to Prophet Dowle I "tvym ,n uunu luum wmi nun nd with John Murray Dowle. his father, and I was struck then with the perfect likeness between the two. fhey have the same shaned foreheads. the same commanding appearance and build, and the same piercing eyes. Even tneir voices are similar In tone. When Judce John Murray Dowie Joined his son in Chicago about 1884 ou his return from Australia, he was wel corned with open arms by the prophet, and was Introduced to Zlon as the father of ita founder, amid areat enthusiasm "The son made his father an elder In his cjiurch and referred to him re peatedly from the pulpit as the church's benefactor and principal donor. The re lations between father and son were most cordial. "The trouble began when the father married a second time, and this woman. a Mrs. North, did not get on well with the prophet's wife. The ill feeling be tween these two women, I urn convinced brought about the recent estrangement and Dowle's bitter) denial of his father In New York." I Samuel A, Runcle, former private oook to Prophet John A. Dowle, of Zlon City, but now a captain In the Salvation Army with headquarters at 14 Edge wood avenue, this city, when seen by a Journal reporter tills morning, stated as his firm belief that the recent denial by Prophet Dowle of his father in Nw York, was utterly false. Captain Run- cle says that there can be no doubt that Hie two are father and son. "I don't remember exactly when I hired to Dowle as his private cook, but I think It was some time directly after the world's fair. I was employed at the Dowle Home for Incurables In Chicago. where Dowle at that time lived, and I was his private cook and waiter. It was soon after my installation there that the prophet's father arrived n Chicago to Join his son. The latter gave out no specific Information beyond .no inc. i iiim nis iamer was a judge ately returned from Australia, that he was wealthy and that he would take a leading part In the affairs of Zlon. 'This Is a direct contradiction of the prophet's recent statement that bis father was In rags. Moreover, Dowle in nswering charges made against him that he used religion for gain, stated yesterday from the pulpit In the Chicago Tabernacle that most of his wealth came from his wife, and that his father had furnished a great deal of money for me maintenance of the movement, and ad built the Zlon Home for Incurables t Michigan avenue and Twelfth street. le also repeatedly praised his father's bcrallty before his auuiences, mention ng donations which the latter had given ranging from 1500 to 11.000 at a time. Their relations were cordial all the time. and on no occasion did the son make any lsparaglng remark about his father. lis mother he never mentioned, even indirectly. 'No one ever doubted the relation be- ween them. Physically, father and son were startlingly alike. Their fore heads, their piercing eyes, their figures, their gestures, their mannerisms, every physical detail about them was strik ingly similar In fact, so much so as to cause comment 'He's a chip oft the old black was the usual expression applied to Elijah when compared with his father. "The father also was a man of great consideration and kindness, and he was Iked by every one from the deacons and elders down to the servants. A more courteous man I have never met, and In this respect he was an Improvement on his son. "So. taking Into consideration the physical likeness between the two. the cordiality that existed between them, and the public praise bestowed upon the father by the son; and also remembering the ovation which was given the old man by the members of Zlon, you can Imag ine my surprise when I read the recent account of Dowle's sensational - Invec tive against his father and his denial of their relation. In New York. "It doubtless came from the fact that Dowle married a second time, and this woman, a Mrs. North," and the younger Mrs. Dowle, could not agree. They doubtless caused the whole trouble. "John Alexander Dowie, Elijah II." continued Capt. Runcle, "was a very particular man oh, yes, very particu lar. I not only had to cook his meals, but I had also to serve them to him in his private dining room. He expeoted everything Just so. I had to tie a napkin around his neck and put sugar In his coffee. If his rolls were a de gree too cool, or his steak or chops too rare well, I heard from Elijah II. One phrase sufficed film on these ocoaslona It was; 'You Infernal fool you Infernal Jackass." The whole family lived at the Zlon home t Michigan avenue and Twelfth street. There were John Alexander Dowlo, the prophet; Gladstone Dowle, his son; Miss Esther Dowle, the daugh ter who was afterwards burned to death, and Judge John Murray Dowle, i tho father who has lately come Into so much notoriety. "We all liked the old man and Miss Esther, but Gladstone Dowle was caution. He said worse things than 'You Infernal fool.' He had his fath er's temper, only worse. Mrs. Dowle, the prophet's wife, was also a little sharp at times. But we loved Judge Dowle and Miss Esther. "Dowle and his family lived on the first floor and the help on the seventh; In between, the floors were let to patients at rates ranging from $10 to $26 a week for each patient. With the exception of the first two or three floors, there were no conveniences of any kind In the way of servants and baths. The patients vegetated there in the Intervals of heal ing. This ceremony took place generally on Sunday mornings. At that time the patients were summoned into a large hall where Dowle and his assistants were in waiting. Dowle would go among them, lay his hand on the head or neck. and say In an Impressive voice: " 'I bid thee In the name of Ood, rise and be whole.' That was the whole treatment as far as I could see. Dowle would pray for anybody with the money, except those that ate the meat of swine. The ser vants were generally compelled to be present at the healing services. 'They were not prayed for, however." Speaking of Dowle's Influence, Captain Runcle Bald: "I don't know what It was about Dowle that attracts, but his meetings are tre mendously emotional from start to finish. People weep and shout and gesticulate wildly during the service. I don't think It la so much what he says as the way he says It. His appearance has almost a terrifying effect. He Is large and pow erful, his head is massive, his eyes are searching and masterrul. "I suppose there are 5,000 members of his church In Chicago alone. Dowle has boasted that he never took up less than $1,000 In a collection. He makes no bones about wanting money, and Just after, he announces the collection he says in his dictatorial way: " 'Shell out, you Infernal fools, or get out.' "Every member of the Christian Cath olic church, the official name of his organization, has first to make a state' ment of his Income and agree to pay 10 per cent of It to Dowle. If he gets a raise in salary, he must report the fact at once, and contribute an additional 1 per cent of that. He also has the prlvl lege of Investing In Zlon City property, Dowle agreeing to pay 10 per cent on the investment, this amount not to come due, however, until the end of 10 years In the meantime, if tne Investor becomes dissatisfied. Dowle will pay him for his property whatever it is then worth to him. "Dowle also has a restaurant at his homo in Chicago, and I have fed as many as 2,000 people there on a Sun day." In concluding his statement, Capt Runcle said that he had been associated with Dowle only in Chicago, and had never been to Zlon City. V FAMOUS SERMON FROM THE BIBLE MS. BOOTH-TUCKEH. WEEKS THEY COME FBOM. Hew Yorkers the Most Varied Collection of Baces in History. From the New York Sun. A profitable and Interesting study per tinent to the municipal campaign now about to proceed will be of tne popula tion of the city of New York and Us conditions. Here In New York, and on Manhattan island more especially. Is tho most remarkable collection of people in the world, the most, various in race and religion ever gathered together in such numbers In the history ot mankind; and the problems here tj be solved, social and political, may really be said to be more Important to the human race than those which will be worked out in any Other community of the wond. ' In New York as a whole, in 1900, only ; 21.8 per cent of the population were na tive' whites of native parentage, and on Manhattan Island only 16. 9 per cent, or about one-sixth. It may be aasumed that Since the census was taken even these small percentages have diminished very considerably, for immigration has been In unprecedentedly great volume, and the birth rate is highest in the districts of the city where the population of alien ." birth is largest. Even of the native pop ulation of native parentage, 737,477 in number, nearly one-fifth were born out side of the state of New York: New England 37,670 New Jersey, Pennsylvania 46,717 Southern 23,519 Western 20,231 Alaska, Hawaii, etc 9,ai Total .137.458 The great feature of New York's pop ulation, however, is its Immediate for eign derivation, as this table, compiled from the census of 1900, will show: i Native whites of native parent- age .; :.T. 757,477 Bora outside United States of native parentage 27S Foreign born and other child- On Manhattan island the swamping of the population of native parentage was even greater than in the city as a whole. Almost every race on the globe Is represented In this foreign popula tion. This table of the numbers of the dlffrent nationalities in the whole city has been printed by us before; but It is worth renewed study, more particularly at a time when estimates are made of the popular opinion which will be ex pressed at the coming election: Germany ..... 780,435iBohemia ..... 28,849 Ireland 726,611 Canada (Eng). 30,550 Russia 2,525kHinada (Fr).. 6,305 Italy 21N,fti8Norway 18,087 England 168,lftOHwitzrlancl .. 15,474 Austria 113,2;t7jlenmark l,3 INiland R3.4HII Wales 4,370 HuiiKarr 32,480 o lliei roan Scotland 48.92W Sweden 44.708 France 2H.441 Included in the " tries 68.080 Negroes .'.

The distribution of the population of Manhattan, so far as concerns the dis tricts Inhabited by It. is very interest ing.

The square miltary shoulder for women is no more, ana in its place is seen th sloping shoulder. Tight, boned waists, snugly belted in by a broad girdle, are set off by the slon- ing shoulder. A silk knotted and chenille fringe, In- leniuiigieu wun oeautirul furs and lace Is quite the rage for trimming. Light cloth dresses are trimmed with dark furs for the autumn. Strappings of leather and kid are used on tweed coats and skirts. Velvet, both plain and spotted, will b een on almost every costume. Many of the cloth gowns, especially the white ones, are trimmed with a mixture of silk and chenille fringe inthe same shade. Don't forget that tucks are tremendous ly In vogue on both coats and skirts. The tucks around the bottom of the skirts are almost necessary to give the required flare. Flounces are very much used on bodices, and ruchlngs have their place. Corduroy velvets in the brown and deep ivory shades are popular because they are light and warm. Suede Is used for coats and the corduroy suits. Particu larly becoming are the black, brown and soft gray shades. Just a Zdttle Prejudiced. From the Forest Grove Times.

Her Husband's Bemarkable Tribute to Her Worth. From the New York Times. In his history of Gen. William Booth of the Salvation Army, Commander nooth-Tucker devoted a brief chapter to his wife. Of her he said: "At the outset of her career, Miss Emma Booth proved to be the most timid member of her family, so far as public work was concerned. IJehlnd the scenes there was no limit to her ac tivities. "From early days, her mother's con stant companion, in after years her father's frequent counselor, hi-r broth er's and sister's guardian angel, It seemed that no new enterprlae could oe launched before her quick Judgment had anticipated its difficulties and her executive ability had shaped and smoothed its rough-hewn ends, no song composed until its likelihood to catch on and prove singable had been submit ted to her test. "After the finishing touch had been given, or the plan settled, no more was to be heard or seen of the gentle, grace ful helper, who thougnt her life-work was to assist others in doing better, while remaining unknown herself. "But the light could not always re main hidden. It burnt its way through each modest, self - forgetful covering, and soon the rush of battle carried Emma Moss Booth to the foremost place in the field. She ciscovered that God had a message ror her to give In public an well as private; that He had gifted her with a voice that could ring its way through the largest building and with talents that she dared hide no longer. "Called subsequently to India as a Salvation Army missionary, to walk bare - footed amid Its heathen hosts; then withdrawn for two years from the public field to minister with tender so licitude to the mother whose life had become so intimately interwoven with her own, while passing through the long, bleak valley of her final illness, and at length launchea upon tlie stormy waters that were threatening for the monrtent to engulf our noble American bark, she has already won for herself a m corner In the hearts of tl whom It is her pleasure and her priv ilege to serve. Some remarkable stories have been told from time to time concerning Mrs. Booth-Tucker s kindliness and generos ity and her ceaseless endeavors to re lieve distress wherever she found it. It is related that even when a mere child she seemed to feel a deep respon sibility for the condition of other chil dren less fortunate than herself, and sought to aid them in her youthful way. wnne or tne age at wnicn most girls seek chiefly amusement ana recreation, Mlas Booth had full executive charge of the women's branch' of the Salvation Army's International Training home, in London, where she instructed hundreds of women in the duties of officers in the army. Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who assumed the rank of colonel of the army, endeared herself to those about her through her modesty, her sweet face, her- character-, Istlc geniality and her evident earnest ness and sincerity in her work. 1'hys ically, she was tall and slender and of aencaie appearance. Although the mother of seven chil dren, on whom she concentrated much of her thought and affection, she found time to keep in Immediate touch with the various movements of the army throughout tho country. She traveled by rail thousands of miles every year, visiting many towns and cities remote from her home, and In all of them she lectured or prayed or sang before large and responsive audiences. It Is commonly believed that her tire less zeal and striking Individuality have accounted. In a very large measure, for the fact that men of wealth and promt nenco have been Induced to lend finan cial support and encouragement to the cause of the Salvation Army. HOW PATTZ IS OAJtEO rOB. Mme. Pattl arrived in New York ac companied by one maid, one American companion, one private secretary, one business manager, and three servants. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that her latest husband, Baron Cederstrom, was one of the party, brought over to help in straightening out any knots which may tie themselves in the Pattl contracts. ' To those who are not used to manag ing stars, the terms of the contract by which Pattl binds herself to sing for 15,000 a night might seem a trifle exact ing. She stipulates first of all a pri vate car reserved expressly for herself, with the rest of her company relegated to other cars. Rooms in the quietest hotel with the same number of rooms over ner nead kept vacant, and a car rlage at the. depot to take her to the hotel, one at the hotel to take her to the theatre, one at the theatre to tnkn ner dsck again. Tnese things In a per son of meaner clay might be thought finical, but In the great diva of course must De taken as expressions of an ar tlstic nature. Christ beglnnetb His sermon k the mount: declaring who are blessed, who are the salt of the earth, the light of the world,, the city on an hill, the can die: that he came to fulfill the law. What It is to kifl, to eommlt adultery, to swear: exhorteth to suffer wrong, to love our enemies, and to labor after righteousness. fit Matthew, 8:1-41. And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: AnrTwhen He was set. His disciples came unto him: And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying, ' ' Blessed are the poor In spirit: For thelr's Is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: For they shall Inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure In Imurt: For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: For they shall ba called the. children of God. Blessed are they which are perse cuted for righteousness' sake: For thelr's Is the kingdom of Heaven, Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you. And persecute you. And shall say all manner of evil against you, Falsely, For my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad: For great Is your reward in Heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: But if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It Is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that Is set on an hill cannol be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put It under a bushel, but on a candlestick; And It glveth light unto all that are In the house. lAt your light so shine before men. That they may see your good works. And glorify your Father which Is la Heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law. or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you. Till Heaven and earth psbs, one jot oi one tittle shall In no wise pass from 116 1ft W Till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall Break one of these least command ments, And shall teach men so. He shall be called the least In the kingdom of Heaven: But whoHOever shall do and teach them. The same shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven. For I say unto you. That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, Ye shall In no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Ye have heard that It was said . by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; And whosoever shall kill shall be In danger of the Judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever Is angry with his brother, Without a cause. Shall be in danger of the Judgment And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, Shall be In danger of the council: But whosoever shall say, Thou fool, Shall be In danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; First be reconciled to thy brother, , And then come and offer thy gift, y Agree with thine adversary quickly, Whiles thou art in the way with him; Dest at any time the adversary de liver thee to the Judge, and the Judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou bo cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee. Thou shalt by no means eome out thenoe, till thou hast paid ' The uttermost farthing. ; Ye have heard that It was said by them of old time, Thou shalt nut commit adultery: But I say Unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman, To lust after her. Hath committed adultery with her al ready in his heart. And If thy right eye offend thee, pluck It out, and cast it from thee: . For It is profitable ror thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that Thy whole body should be cast lute hell. And if thy right hand offend ,thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: For It is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that Thy whole body should be cast inte hell. It hath been said. Whosoever shall put away his wife. Let him give her a writing of divorce ment: But I say unto you, , That whosoever shall put away his wife. Saving for the cause of fornication, Causeth her to commit adultery: And whosoever shall marry her that Is divorced comhaltteth adultery. Again ye have heard that It hath been said by them of old time. Thou shalt not forswear thyself. But shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; Neither by Heaven; For It Is God's throne: Nor by the earth; For it la His footstool; Neither by Jerusalem; For It is the city of the great king. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head. because Thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be. Yea, yea; nay, nay: For whatsoever Is more than thee cometh of evil. Ye have heard that it hath been saM. An eye for an eye, and A tooth for a tooth: . But I say unto you. That ye resist not evil: But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek. Turn to him the other also. And If any man will sue thee at th law. And tako away thy coat. Let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, Go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee. And from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt' love thy neighbour, And hate thine enemy. But I say unto you. Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you, Do good to them that hate you. And pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of you Father which Is In Heaven: For He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good. And sendeth rain on the Just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which lovo you, What reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same 7 And if ye salute your brethren only, What do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect. Even as your Father which Is In Heaven Is perfect. THE PBESXSEHT AT 48.' Washington Cor. Chicago Record-Herald. At his forty-fifth birthday. President Roosevelt finds himself in perfect health. He has learned how to get through an enormous amount of work with the greatest ease. During the first year of his presidency he expended a good deal of unnecessary vitality upon small mat ters. Members of his cabinet warned him that this government was too big a machine for any one man to attempt to deal with all Its parts and details. For a long time the president Insisted on giving his personal attention to routine matters. Within 30 days after he en tered the White House a member of his cabinet said: "The president has work enough piled up in front of him now to last him four years , and he Is sending for more every hour of the day." But at last Mr. Roosevelt learned the lesson and "sized up his Job." Now he knows how to pass over administrative details which do not properly belong to his office, and to refer them to his subor dinates in the various departments. The president now has his work so well in hand that he Is rarely hurried or pressed for time, and he finds leisure to gratify his passion for reading- by keeping up with most of the current literature, es pecially the good novels. Mr. Roosevelt s the youngest president the country ever had, and consequently the only one who ever celebrated his forty-fifth birth day In tho White House. OOXTLD A8 A BPOBTBHAJT.

Curate's Xevenge. From the Westminster Gasette. Two curates in a church at Mary- port (Cumberland) have just resigned. The senior curate preached last Sunday night his farewell sermon, and he chose a text which astonished the congrega tion. It was a portion of Abraham s direction to his young men: "Abide ye hece with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship." The Cnm-i berland papers quaintly add: "Much comment has been excited by. the text!" , Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young girl of 24 and I am In love with a young man. Ho works in the same place I do. He always says he likes me so much and would like to have me for his wife, but as I think he Is only teasing me I don't listen to him. Then he says I never give him a chance to explain matters. Kindly advise me what I should say to him. ELLA. There Is nothing men dislike more than a girl who never believes what they say. Of course, men do not mean all they say, but a sensible girl learns to distinguish the false from the true. At any rate, give the man a chalice, listen to him seriously, and If he is such a cad as to propose to you in fun let him go, but first give him a chance to show if he is in earnest or not. Dear Miss Fairfax I am 24 years of age and am very much in love with a young man, but he has one fault, that fault Is belrg a little penurious. Now. I am mueh In doubt if. I should be happy with such a disposition all through life: more so, I suppose, because I am just the opposite. Will you please give ma your candid opinion of the matter? READER. As you are 80 directly opposite in dis position it might be that you would suit each other very well. He would curb your extravagance and you would make lilm more generous, that is, of course.
