Withhe Christmas At hand and (our , Xmas shopping In full swing, a few words as to our duties, as mothers and sisters may not be amiss. .A few thoughts that may suggest a mora humanitarian treat ment on our part in behalf of. those who do so much to make our Christmas fes i tlval a sucoess. ' '-'' - ' " ": We are in the habit of thinking that : service that Is paid for in. wages re , celves its , full compensation. We . are not in tne.

We do not stop ;, to think of the weary Tiours the clerks V liv our stores are compelled to work V durlngf the rush season of the holidays, .iv Holiday buying to the" shopper means simply a crowd, the confusion, the bril liantly lighted stores. ; We do notpee . tha reverse . side of the .picture vie closing at a' late hour aftef the last ' 1 ... ,k....l.l, . .h.

The storekeepers are in no wise responsible for " this , state of affairs; :' Thu business man is , not the guilty party. ' You- and I, my - slaters,' are the. ones against whom- the account will be rendered,' The feverish rush of customers to the stores during tha holiday . time - Is1 passed over the . counter to. the sales , people. . Their nerves as. well as Jhelr muscles ' suffer, and t,h Xmas time to them is ' simply a time of strain, of Illness and of , over-exertion to meet the demands made upon- them. - v. In two ways can we cure all this dls ' tress; We can do -our shopping Jn the " early part of the day.' We can refuse ' to go inside of any store after o'clock at night. ! We can write on the address . ticket of our purchases; "This package i will be : refused 11 delivered afler 7 ? o'clock at night." This we can da It will require but A little forethought , It may result in a trifling inconvenience in our tlan of' household work to leave the dusting undone or the "beds unmade until jthe afternoon. But lt will result, If there, Is & -concerted, effort, in. this direction, , (n a. closer touch with ; the prevailing Joyous atmosphere of the blessed' Christmas time. . Let us keep - what is good in the " Christmas festival. Let us all Continue, as before, to feed the hungry, the lame,; the halt, the blind and the friendless. But let us not in the process lightly re duce to illness and exhaustion the yotlng and faithful, - who serve us seen and unseen. Let us'Jbe c-ulte sure that for these also for all men, Christmas. jney be a season of peace on earthy good will j to men. .' . ' - -, ' : X ' With : the . women's ' clubs 'arrayed "against him, Senator Smoot should be gin to feel sure of bis desk. i The above extract-was ; taken from the "funny column" of one of our most 'esteemed cotemporarles. -The merits or advisability ; of the club women of the country taking up this matter does not ! enter Into this article.; as it will receive the attention of this, department later. It a th rrintr.mntible anlrlt of the man Who seeks to earn his dally bread by "excltlnar the Jeers and guffaws of hood lum, no better informed than himself.''! but who in many case migni wuaw . before raising a laugh at his mother's expense we have to deal with here, s That this Is the paramount object of such a squib cannot be doubted, for even ' the measure one must apply to a wit of this calibre would not pronounce him so Ignorant that united effort on the ' part of, women means failure to him. If it does, he has attained his education in the confine "of "some very narrow trick wails and been too busy manu facturing wit to look Jnto the world beyond, else-, he would, have seen - and - known that there Is no record of woman's failure when they have .stood , together and worked for 'a purpose. Whence have come the institutions suchj as Hull house, me puouc piay gruunus, homes for .the children and the aged, country homes for the city's poor chil dren during the hot weather, markets for the products Of the mountain women of the South, sewing schools, domestic science schools, trade, schools, traveling libraries and reading rooms, visiting ' nurses and prisoners' aids, and a thous and other "things, but from the club women of the country' Arraying them selves' for them? We .saw an account a few days ago of over 2,400 children drawing books from the public library of Portland. How was this made possl .' ble? By the woman's clubs of the state "arraying themselves." In favor of a free library biil when they were told from 4h"tst-theighty,-a-could not and should not become a law. -- The mother heart was touched and the women of (the state "arrayed them selves" in favor of a child tabor bill and it became a law. Sons and husbands - with political ambitions, or debts to pay, diyided the women of the state and the bill that would have lopped one 'of the biggest grafts of. the state and . which is maintained at such fearful tost of human suflering-TtT-the. humane transportation of the insane was lost. Universal suffrage Is pointed to "as h colossal failure of women. Above, mark you, we salr "stood together." If; women for the past 16 years had been united in opinion no power on earth would have prevented a very state in i the Union today from counting her women "citisens.' In the four states that now' give women such recognition the women of the state "arrayed them ;, selvesT1 for it, and they got it. Herein lies the surety . of Senator Smoot's desk. The united clubs of the - country have not "arrayed themselves . i l mti... I a a itlffnrAnp fit : opinion.

For-a number- of years ? before coming to Oregon she resided In St. Louis and Minneapolis. In the former city she presided for ome-TVr at th pipe organ in Christ church and In Minneapolis held a simiar position in Gethsemane church.; Mrs. Lyle came to La Grande In 1SDS and the same year organised the Ladies Tuesday muslcale. Through her, excellent management and thorough musical education sne nas made the . club rank it among the ; first musical organizations of the. state. A To honor' its founder last year the i club insisted upon changing its name to tho "Lyle Tuesday muslcale,"--as an hofior richly deserved.: and the club honored Itself In bestowing it. - " ; , taihlng as a lawmaker' for the. land a man who owes allegiance to a hierarchy "end can only hold his political position through its consent, and wno is mmseu an apostle hi a church which makes, marriage essential to a woman s salva tion, and which embodies polygamy In its tenets and which Is without doubt continuing the practice. . Smoot - wel comed Brlgham Bobe.r,ts on nis. expulsion from congress and denounced its action in refusing him admission because he was a polygamist, and' he acknowledges that some of his fellow-spostles are stlU living in polygamy, notwithstanding their vow to ttuv United States. "A high official In an organisation sanctioning such practices 4s responsible for them, and is iiot fit, as a lawbreaker, to be a lawmaker for others. The Na tional Congress of Mothers asks every church In the land to send Its appeal to Its state senator at Washington protest ing for the welfare of the home and the holy ideals ; of marriage against this menace to American standards of family life.

Blair, president of the board of lady managers of the St. Louis exposition, is in. Born to the purpleT reared amidst luxury, and having attained the highest pinnacle of social eminence and preferment, her hopes and ambitions are dashed to the ground, Jher- home bereft of Its. treas ures of aVt and beauty, luxury, position, and, of course, friends, gone from her, she stands stripped of them all, the dis graced wife of a man under charge of embezzlement and f orgery. . . Such rcc- lords of downfall and disgrace are not rare, unfortunately.- but being at me head of so distinguished a body of wom en adda a new element of distress, and Mrs. Blair has been called upon to "pass under a rod" rarely prepared for any woman. . '' It will be remembered that at the time of Mrs. Blair's .election as presi dent of the board Miss Helen Gould was decidedly the choice of the majority, but Miss Gould declined on the ground that the office should be held, by a resident of St Louis. Mrs. Blair, It was said, was decided upon wholly on account of her elegant home and, her position as a-so-clal leader. - If this was the case, the board, too, must have some misgivings, for no wpman.eh.qutd be chosen to so ex alted a" position upon such unstable qualifications. The result , has proven the correetnesrof this statements While the; peculations of Blair have been In connection with his official position, and delicacy of feeling would have prompted Mrs. Blair to resign, she would not have had the added sting of feeling that with her worldly goods her usefulness had also departed. Again, had a' woman been chosen of well-known executive ability, where such high lights were not brought to bear tipon the advantages she. had to offer in the way of house, carriages and servants, she might have vbeen' so- in valuable that the accidents of fortune would not have effected her, being a. use ful and indispensable member or ; tne board. . ; . - ' V '' It Is said that acting on the advice of Senator-Thomas Carter,. chairman of the Louisiana, purchase national- com mission.' Mrs. Nellie. Grant, Sartorls has moved to St. Louis and is a leading pos Blblllty ln the race for Mrs. Blair's place. - Mrs. r Sartorls, it 1st also , said, would, be particularly acceptable to the women of St, Louis. mw EgaiAn pbess club. - The New England Women's Press as sociation celebrated Its birthday a week or two ago. The association numbers among ! its members' the- mosc distin guished newspaper women of New Eng land and has a history of : successes 18 years back of it, with never a failure; at least, there-is none on record. lV i-Tbe club was organized by six Bos ton women In the office of Mrs.'Sallle Joy White at the Boston -Herald offlee. Mrs. ' White war made president. Miss Estelle M. Hatch (now Mrs. E. M. H. Merrill) secretary, and Miss Helen Wlnslow- treasurers To the. secretary the rapid growth and popularity of the club Is entirely due. ; Her indefatigable seal and untiring energy prompted her to write or. see and seek out every, news- Daner woman in the state. For num ber of years the meetings were neld 'in the Woman's Journal bfflcei but ln; latef years movefl to the barker houses The objects of the association are "To ' promote acquaintance and good- fellowship among newspaper women, and to forward by concerted action through the press such good objects' on social, philanthropic and reformatory lines as may from time to time present them selves.": The membership 1 unlimited and any woman resldeht in New England who Is connected aTa prof esslonal writer or manager with any reputable ; news paper or magaslne la eligible. - The social -Me of the club has been a, marked feature. There Is no club in the; -United States that has so many not . Meeting of . Probably but few , people ln our city realize the work done by this, organiza tion, beyond Its Interesting monthly pro grams. Besides Its classes In the study of Hebrew and the Apocryphal literature (which will be resumed as .soon as Dr. Wise returns) the great strength of this organization Is given to the operating of Its "industrial achoola.' No . similar systematlsed set of schools is: carried on by, any church or other . society -in this city. .. These schools were started' with the thought of - benefiting the Jewish children of many foreigners who had set tled in that locality of our city; but from the day the doors of its first school were opened they have been absolutely aonsectarlan. Some of our schools show a- larger : proportion ,tf .non-Jewish children attending, and sqme vice versa; The achools.hava been organized at. dif ferent times during the last years and the greatest proof of the need for them Is showed by the, fact that notwithstand ing '.'this' varying characters lot parents and children, the schools are most firmly established, with "a constantly (growing attendance. . No small part of the ' sue-; cess of this work Is due to the faith fulness of the volunteer teachers who give their services year after year. . The sewing school was the pioneer venture, and to the energies of Mrs. 6. - Julius Mayer and Mrs. H. Hausman Its first able functions or . distinguished . gutsts to Its credit. .The. most Important, in the opinion-of the members, was the breakfast given to" Amelia B. Edwards, to whjch 400 members and guests sat down. .- Another important event was a reception given Jointly with thr Abbot Academy club, which Is the largest re ception ever given to ' clubwomen in Massachusetts. ; A , most distinguished quartet was the- receiving party, and consisted of Mies Helen WJnslow, then president - of the New England' Press club; Mrs.- Fowler," president of tha Abi bot Academy club'; Mrs.. Charkrtte Em erson Brown, president ..of the General Federation of. Women's clubs, and Mrs, Julia Ward Howe, then president of I the Massachusetts State federation.

The following bit of news from the Club World will interest Oregon women, as it is their, duty to be interested in everybody related to Lewis or Clark: "Pittsburg club -women are planning to assist in building a public bath house as a memorial' to the late Mrs., Mary E. Schenley, the philanthropist, to whose benefactions the city owes so much. A committee of women has been appointed to confer with Pittsburg councllmen on the subject of the memorial. If the city agrees to erect a public bath house the club women .will engage to pay the run ning expenses for a term of years, or un til it becomes self supporting. One of tha plans of the women for meeting this expense Is asking every club woman in the city to contribute yearly the sum of one dollar until the bath - becomes self supporting. ' This, with special contribu tions, would take from the city every thing beyond the cost s of erecting the building. A aeries of public baths at a distance of about a mile and a half from each other, from one end of the town to the other. Is the ultimate aim of the public baths committee.". Mrs. Mary E. Schenley, formerly of Pittsburg. Pa., who died at her home-in Hyde Park, liondon, November 4, left an estate valued at $40,000,000. -She was the daughter of Col. George Cror ghan, who' married Captain Clark's sis ter, and is known in histdry as the hero" of Fort, Stephenson, .who served With great distinction In the war of 1812 and the Mexican war. Mrs. Schenley's mother and the grandmother of Mrs. Hauser, whose picture appeared In last Saturday's Journal, ' were sisters. Mrs. Schenley occupied a prominent place In London society, several of her family having married the nobility.
