So one June day he took a hoe and rake and other tools. And started out to find a mine' like many other fools. He wandered o'er the desert land and burnt his whiskers off. He climbed the 'chilly mountains and developed quite a cough. "Well, well." he said one afternoon while talking: to himself, '"TIs 80 days; I have no mine, and sad- - der yet. no pelf."

The dairymen are not pretty soon there are two dead or wounded men. Just so with na tions. Armament and friendship are incompatible. Armament means hostility. "Suspicion follows arma- h the kind of men to tell Portland that ment as shadow follows substance." if it does not use dirty milk It shall not have any, and even if they wore, there would be other dairymen to come in and supply the clean article. As fast as one drops out of his place in this worjd another steps in and takes up his work. One man or a hundred men are but a breath, and Second: Armaments are Intended only for our own protection, not for menace or aggression. Answer: So say all the nations.

Yet perhaps the most wonderful thing of all, and frm the standpoint of the America of today and of the future, the most vitally Important was the extra ordinary way n which Lincoln could fight valiantly against what he deemed wrong, and yet preserve undiminished his . Jove and respect for the brother from whom he differed. In the hour of a triumph that would have turned any weaker man's head, in the heat of a struggle ' which spurred many a good man to dreadful vlndictiveness, he said truthfully that so long as he had been in his office he had never willingly planted a thorn in any, man's bosom, and besought his supporters to study the Incidents of the trial , through which they were passing as philosophy from which' fo learn wia-Om and not as wrongs to be avenged, ending with the solemn exhortation that, as the strife was over, all should reunite in a com mon effort to Save their common coun try. He lived in days that were great and terrible, when ' brother fought against brother for what each sincerely deemed to be the' right. In a contest ao grim the strong men who alone can carry It through are rarely able to do justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grapple in mortal strife. At such times men see through a glass a ryrtrr,m?y-ffi spirits is vouchsafed that clear vision which gradually comes to all, even to the lesser, as the struggle fades into distance, and wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps back to the hearts' that were hurt But to Lincoln was given this ' supreme vision. He did not hate the man from whom ho differed. Weak ness was as foreign as wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but. his cour age was of a quality so high that It needed no bolstering of dark passiona He saw clearly that the same high qualities, the same courage, and willing ness for sacrifice, and devotion to the right as it' was given them to see the right, belonged both to the men of the north and to the men of the south. As the years roll by, and as all of us, Wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride In the valor and self-devo tion, alike of the men who wore tha blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a recu liar sense of, pride In the mightiest of tne mignty men who mastered the mighty days; the lover of his couitry and or an mankind; the man whose blood was shed for the union of his peo ple ana .- ror ine rreeaora of a race Abraham uncoln.

Browne of the Horton Headlight tells of a peculiar accident in his county. "A Brown county school teacher," said he, -''three years ago made the mistake of pinning her belt with a needle in stead of a pin, and the needle couldn't be found. Just the other day it was discovered coming out of the arm of one of the local school officers, who had been keeping company with her at tha time of the accident. "We don't know how the 'needle was recognized as the same one, unless by 1 th,epM(ian. ,th,.y-caw4t.S(t from the young woman's walat into the young man's arm is a secret that baffles science."

From the Harney Valley News. 6ne of the greatest- speeches made In Oregon for many years was deliv ered by Judge Henry B. McGinn In Portland recently. It was made at "smoker" given by a certain Republican club there that- Is dominated by ma chine forces and Is determined to push the convention system- to Its utmost limit. Judge McGinn wee Invited as one of the speakera but his talk was not "orthodox and the gang was rur-. prised. He told them he would oppose tke "eon vent Ion plan and if necessary take the stump against tt In every pre cinct, town and barn let In the state. He told there wby he was opposed to a return to the old met hod a recitng the scenes or corruption ana Bribery that were nactd and the selling out of the people in the Interest of railroad and other corporations. Nomn tn the state Is better fitted to manage such a talk than ex-Senator McGinn.
