SUNDAY AT THE FAIR. Before the ground for the Lewis and Clark Fair is broken, the com missioners meet with one of the most 'perplexing issues that is to confront , them. "Shall the fair be closed on Sunday?" Shall the exposition close its doors on one day of the week? Is it irre lig!ous, to proceed with an entertain i ment of this scope ami aim on the ! Sabbath? The people of the West revere .whatever is good and wholesome. They hold sacred and reverent every sentiment that is based upon honest land firm convictions: but they as cer tainly hate the sham: they detest the make-believe: they have no patience with the hollow mockery that parades as the genuine. They cannot tolerate selfishness. In the city of Portland and its sub urbs are something near 10.000 labor ers, whose families depend upon the labor of their hands for anstenance. The only day these hardworking peo ple can be free to enjoy the parks, public exercises and beautiful sights of the city is on Sunday. To close the doors of this grandest event of the century against this class of people, seems unfair. The exposition can be operated with a reduced force on Sunday, so a portion of the employes can be re lieved from duty each day. People who wish to attend church will not be barred from going. People who wish to attend the exposition should find the gates open, for this govern ment was founded upon the principle that conscience Is the sole religious dictator of mankind. It smacks of selfishness to say that the gates shall be closed and the crowds forced to attend services at some of Portland's exquisite church buildings. People should be free to go and come as they please. There will come no great stigma to the name of Oregon nor the fair commissioners if in this broad guage land of tolerant men and women the opportunity to enjoy the accumulated wealth and wisdom of the century, shall be ex tended to the hard handed toiler and his family on the day on whk-u base ball, lawn parties and banket awia!s are enjeved in every Chri&tias com munity. DRIFTWOOD. 'TIs the coward who quits to misfor tune, 'Tis the knave who changes each day; Tis the fool who wins half the battle Then throw all his chancer away. There is little In life but labor, And tomorrow may find that a dream. Success is the bride of endeavor, And luck but a meteor's gleam. The time to succeed Is when others, Discouraged, show traces of tire; The batle is fought In the home Btretch, And won 'twlxt the flag and the wire. One of the pleasant incidents of the recent coal strike le the manner In which "Divine Right" Baer's scriptur al quotations all forsook him In the conference with Governor Odell. On a Robert Louis Stevenson cal endar, Issued this winter, is the fol lowing quotation: "We are in such haste to be doing, to be gathering gear, to make our voices audible a moment In the derisive silence of eternity, that we forget that one thing of which these are the parts namely, to live." This story of the Latin Quarter days of Stevenson, is told by Will Low, the painter. One night I remember wo sat in a garden in Mout nmrte. The red wine hud been Mow ing pretty freely, and one of our party got heated and aggressive: Finally, sumeotii! said a thing that the lighting chap disliked, us soon as the words were spoken he grabbed up a bottle anil hurled it at the other's head. It was a strong, true shot, find would hare hit the mark had not Stevenpon sprung to his feet and caught the mis sive. "Tut. tut. floorsc" lie said to tilt; thrower, 'tut. tut. If the' bottle Is passed so quickly, none of us will be a OTe to stand out the eventim." Hamlin Garland relates rne follow ing When General Grant was writing his magazine, articles he was called upon by Mark Twain, who was then a member of the tlrm of publishing firm of Webster & Co. 'Well, Gen eral." said Mr. Clemens, "r hear you are writing your story after all." 'Yes. I've written three chapters al ready, and the editors seem to like them very well. The Tact is." he added, with a look that expressed a certain timidity. "I'm giud to be able to earn a little money in this way Just now." "I hope you'll get well paid for them." said Mr. Clemens. "I think I'm very well paid'. he replied. "I get $500 a piece for them." Mr. Clemens expressed great surprise. "Why. General, you can't afford to let that matter go at that rate. $5000 would be cheap for them." The gen eral remained unmoved. "I'm getting more than Sherman got," he remarked quietly, "and I'm satisfied." The following lines, entitled "Px tience." is from the pen of Ray Clark Rose. In the Chicago Reeord-Heralit: "I put her letter by. because With dimlng eyes, I needs must pause To fashion somewhat of her smile From memory, a little while. To feel auain the gentle touch That made me wonder overmuch: If such a soft caress of love Were not for ransomed one above. Instead of for my earthly bliss This hand-clasp, sweeter than a kiss; I put her letter by a bit To muse and marvel over it. As something rare beyond the ken Of common thought and mortal men; As something that the tender years Have traced with not ungrateful tears A sweet good-bye. it is. to say She'll meet me later in the day. And still I wait, and still I wait: The years have gone, the day is late. A shrine of myrtle for her dust, A letter yellowed with the rust Of tears a prayer to understand Her signal from 'the Peaceful Land. I put her letter by; I know Its promise will be kept, and so. Through misty eyes my soul shall smile And wait in patience yet awhile.'' ROBBED OF BIRTHRIGHT. The chid that does not have a child hood, with a child's pleasures and sor rows as well, who does not know the enthusiasm, the zest, the hopes and the eager looking forward of child ren, is defrauded of its birthright, and the sense of privation will grow stronger as the child grows older un til there comes a time when it will bitterly resent its loss and reproach those who are responsible for it.

PATRIOTISM: The stomach is a larger factor in " life, I liberty and the pursuit of happiness" than most people are aware. Patriotism ' can withstand hunger but not dyspepsia. i ne conhnnea ays peptic "is fit for 1 treason, stratagems and spoils." The man who goes to the front for his country with a weak stomach will be a weak soldier, and a fault finder. A sound stomach makes for good citi zenship as well as for health and happi ness. Diseases of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition are promptly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It builds np the body with sound flesh and solid muscle. After I received the advice which you gave me in regard to my treatment," write Ceo. Doroer, Esq., of 1915 Pulaski Street, Baltimore, Maryland, "I used your 'Golden Medical Discovery' according to directions. After using four bottles I considered myself cured, as I have not felt any oymptoms since. Had tried almost all remedies that I beard of that were good for dyspepsia, but with out relief. Finally, I became discouraged, and wrote to you for advice, with the above result." The dealer who offers a substitute for the "Discovery" is only seeking to make the little more profit realized on the sale of less meritorious preparations.
