ON THE WESTERN PIAZZA.
In I'eiidleton are more than a hund
red old gentlemen, who are living
portraits and whose lives are story
books of wonderful Interest.
Go down the street iimon? ihe
homes In the city, any autumn even
ing, and look at the grey-haired man,
sitting In au easy chair, on the West
ern porch. Perhaps he Is asleep. The
last rays of the sun ar kissing his
brow; the autumn leaves aie falling
at his feet and in his lap. like flakes
of gold. One thin, white lock of hair
is falling1 over his brow. Ills hands
are at rest and he Is at peace wltli
the world. Back across a mingling
drama af triumph and adversity, his
closed 'yes are wandering. It seems
only a step backward to the open gate
of babyhood, anil it Is only a step
forward to that other open gate.'
His sons and daughters are con
tented and happy. His life's work is
a success. The ripened fruit of ex-
perience is ruddy, in the autumn sun
shine of life. He Is waiting for to
morrow, he is- living a monarch,
crowned in achievement and jeweled
with hope- The long story of strug
gle is written and sealed. His land
marks are seen every where about
him, in the industries and enterprises
that he has nourished and builded.
Ills honorary membership In every
social and business circle has long
ago been conferred. No further de
gree of contentment can he added to
his measure. That unfolding charm
of friendship, growing stronger and
deeper, ho loves, to speak of. He is

that Is raging in other parts of the
world; a growth In every industry
that Is within our borders; friendship,
within and without; work for the wil
ling and reward for the worker; con
tentment everywhere, and everywhere
the sunshine of progress; prospects
for the future that surpass, if possi-

gratitude, we are truly thankful.

Generals Botha and Delary have
' listened to a debate In the house of
commons on the South African ques
' tlon. They were In about as much
danger of bodily harm there as among
the kopjes, according to the way the
Irish flght in parliament and the way
' the English shoot on the veldt.
The traffic that centers In and
passes through Pendleton, dally, Is
a symbol of the multiplicity of West
ern industries. If one should under
take to list the various commodities
which are handled here each day, the
story would be surprising,

capital standing under the same um

NOW FOR THE FUTURE.
Since the confusion of jubilant elec
tion reports has passed over. It is
found that the democrats have not'
lost a victory in a national sense.
Democratic states, in a few instances,
have gone republican; democratic
counties have been lost, and congres
sional districts have changed into the
republican line but from a strictly
political point of view, thero is moro
hope than ever. President Roosevelt
is a reformer. He is a young man
imbued with some of the most pro
gressive Ideas of government that
have ever been advocated from the
presidential chair. He is also head
strong, emphatic, persistent and tin
movable in his belief. His ideas of
tarifT revision, reciprocity, control of
the trusts and the repeated belief he
holds in the rights of the masses
being equal to the rights of the
classes, are leading him and his fol
lowing toward a democratic point of
view. The old-lino republicans will
not follow hlra now. In his oxtremo
views, and in this gradual formation
of a new republican doctrine, uuder
the leadership of the ablest man In
the- party today, there Is a hope for
democrats.
The reform republicans are laying
plans along democratic lines. Tho
battle has not yet begun. When tho
forces are arrayed against each other
In congress, It will be found, perhaps,
that one republican faction will lovo
progress better than party lash, and
In the final count, will put somo excel'
lent democratic doctrine into laws.
There ilias not been such a bright
prospect for genuine reform; slnco
republican laws have needed reform

thanksgiving this year. Tho unprece

This Is a good time for democrats
to sit still and say nothing. The
frictions among republican policies
will result In a democratic trend of
doctrine.
REMARKABLE GRIDDLECAKE.
Two thousand fishes in one griddle
cake. Five to ten thousand animals
for a single breakfast.
That is the sort of feast the natives
enjoy on the Islands of the Philip
pines. In Southern Luzon Is a beautiful
mountain lake, called Lake Buhl,
about 1000 feet above the sea. It Is
supposed by the natives to havo no
hottom, and is said to have been
formed by "a volcanic upheaval which
occurred before the Spanish came to
the Archipelago. On that tragic oc
casion, when many human lives were
lost and much property destroyed,
one side of Mount Irlga was blown out
and hills of lava were scattered for
miles.
Not long ago Dr. Georgo A. Zeller
found himself In tho neighborhood of
Lake Buhl, and ascertained that there
was in this body of water a queer
kind of fish, only half an Inch long,
which was used by the Filipinos for
eating. Nothing, It appears, Is too
small or Insignificant for tho natives
of those islands to regard as available
for tho table. So Dr. Zeller obtained
some hundreds of the little fishes and
sent them In a bottle to Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg, at Washington.
Dr. Sternberg forwarded tho bottle
with its contents to tho United States
fish commission, where it was con
sidered a great prize, Inasmuch as
tho fish was declared to be not only
tbo smallest in existence, but tho
most minute vertebrate animal known
to science. It weighs only half a
grain, and half an inch is Its maxi
mum length.
The natives of Luzon call It the
slnarapan, and their raodn of catching
It Is with a net of exceeding fine
mesh hardly moro than a .coarse
cloth, which Is used as a selno. In
this manner great quantities of tho
tiny fishes are .captured, and, being
dried In a mass In tbo sun, without!
any other cooking, nro seasoned and
pressed Into flat, round cakes.
Inasmuch as a single cako con
tains from 2000 to 3000 fishes, tho
smnllncss of the latter will bo renllz
ed. It would bo a nntlvo with
meager appetite who could not ills
pose of 10,000 of the finny creatures
at a meal. Dr. 11. M. Smith of tho
United Stntcs fish commission tins
named the animal Mlstlchthys, from
two Oieek words meaning "smallest
and "fish."
.
The fish in question is a kind of
goby, and there Is a suspicion that It
is prnctically extinct for several
months in every year, like certain
animal plants. Meanwhile the eggs,
which are so small that 1200 of them
placed In line are required to measure
one Inch, are Incubating for the pro
duction of tho next generation.
When the little fishes have been
newly caught, by dipping a large
sheet of close web under a school of
them, they are put Into tightly woven
baskets to drain. The natives buy
them eagerly, and the fishermen re
turning from tho morning's voyage
are instantly surrounded by a crowd
of waiting children, who offer In ex
change for them potatoes, rice and
copper pennies. Chicago Record-Her

THE MASQUERADE.
All tho world's a masquerade,
Fiction upon fiction laid;
Best foot forward, everywhere.
That's tho cloak the maskers wear.
Artificial polish worn
O'er a life all stained and torn;
Falsehood laid with splendid art
O'er the semblance of a heart.
Gloss and sheen of bold deceit
In a mimic virtue meet.
Cold duplicity and skill.
Every trusting impulse kill.
'Neath tho velvet feel the claw.
Of a fratricidal law;
'Neath the robe devoid or sin.
See the unclean spots within.
Best foot forward, everywhere,
That's Uie cloak tho maskers wear.
a
Then, unmasked, the throng Is
brought
Back to human deed and thought;
Maskers throw aside tho art
That concealed the human part;
Strong and bold the features are
In that throbbing rank, afar;
Warm the clasp of brother's hand,'
King and serf together stand;
Down the long, unending line,
Speeds the human hailing sign;
From tho old fraternal fount,
Heavenward, tho rainbows mount;
'Round yon sunkist summits play,
Hints of some resplendent day.
All tho world, unmasked, Is good;
All Its creed Is brotherhood;
All Us faith is, Justice done
Laurels through devotion won.
