It was delightful to walk home beneath the wide-spreaJing branches of the trees and to smell the odors of the ripened com. On snathe- side of the cornfield were the lemains of a hopfleld. As we walked past it, we thought of the good times we had in hop-picking time, and we could see women, men and children all picking hops and laughing and talking. We could see the welghmen and wlrenwn running to and fro, and hear the people call "Wire up" and 'Measure." A little farther on we passed a stub ble field. We could see the mounds where the gophers and moles bad their homes. At last we reach the most wonder ful place of all. It is the pasture where the cows and horses stay. It is beautiful, with its taJl. green trees and blackberry' vines, and with its flowers in spring. It has the most ' wonderrul mosses and rerns. As you walk through, you can hear the birds singing and the bells of the cows tinkling. If you want to see this place, all you have to do is to walk on the road between Waco n da sta tion, Oregon, and the rivor road and you wilt see it ail. I (4 HER HOUSE IN ORDER Bertha A. Rich of I.os Angeles, has I a particularly heart -grlpptn? story.) "Her House in Order." in the February American. I In the form of an Intimate letter, ' written from one sister to another ' relative to the death of their mother, the story, without forced pathos or us,thos, can but stir th better emo tions of evei-y thoughtful son and daughter. The story-letter tells of the passing of a mother into the final sleep, of the scenes at the old homestead, of the kindly ministrations, and the unkindly, too, of the neighbors and of the final "setting ln order" that the departed mother would have approved. The author treats of her subject In an unusual manner for a story, and therein lies its strength, for It Is hu man; it appeals to the philosophy of life and death that we feel more often j than our narrow conventions permit us to express; it reconciles the morals i and customs of the passing generation with those of the present, and is al- j together one of the wnrth while typ Of modern magazine stories. "Her Houst in Order" Is not Miss j Rich's first literary efffort, but Judg- : ing from praise of the American's edl- 1 tor. is the effort in which she has "arrived," and whets the appetite for Tales of elmllar character which are J to follow.

Words are of various sorts and sizes. Some of the shortest mean the most. Home. for instance, or mother, borne of the long est, like sesquipedalian, mean the least. Tee roost valuable words are the commonest. But little is known of the origin of words. It seems that many of them, like hog and sneak anil rascal, were inevitable inventions to fit a certain thing. Some words are swet. some are bitter, and some are used to conceal an absence of thoughts. Poli tical speakers use a great many words this way. while resting their brains. But however words may be used or abused, they pa tiently await the corning of some person who has some thing to say. and then they gleam and soar and sing Whereas before they fell dead, now they leap like flame to make known the truth, in the telling of which they seem to delight so that the. plainest of . ... . -v. , .

Words are worthy J of respect. but their re spectability depends alto gether on the work they are given to do Thev may be used to mislead a nation, or to bring light to the world. For all of their power words are but sym bols of thought.

Col lege professors and o'her word experts at finst cto not notice it. then they condemn it. and after every one else had adopted it they beein to use It, and wonder how they got along without it. Then they do the same thing with the next new word that comes along. Most newspapers use too many words. TOWN TALES. T. ArnsleyJ Botts. the Beaverton bard, was in our midst again Wed.
