We are finding out things right along; and one of the things we have recently discov ered, or re-discovered, is that getting old Is simply a bad habit A man who thinks he is old, is old, and a man who ro- tires from business will shortly bo retired by death. Nature has no use for tho person who quits. so she just takes his word for it and lets him quit. Elbert Hub bard in the Philistine, CALLS SEN. FULTON TO TA8K. In his brief speech, thanking the club women of Pendleton for tho ele' gant Indian robe presented to him, Charles Tj, Hanford laughingly re marked that this gift might be a hint at the scantiness of his wardrobe, or it might signify an encircling friend ship which should warm his soul for tho remainder of his life, and as the token of such a friendship ho would accept it and wear It. If Pendleton wishes to forget tho $70 she spent in telegraphing for a place on tho presi dential Itinerary, alio might send Mr. Roosevelt a robe In token of the warmth of her friendship. Otherwise another Pendleton institution might be chosen to represent her state of mind, and a cake of brand now ice sent Mr. Itoosovelt. SCOTT'S EMULSION makes pale, thin children fat and chubby. Overcomes wasting tendencies and brings back rosy cheeks and bright eyes. It's surprising how quickly children respond to Scott's Emulsion. It contains just the element of nourishment their little bodies need. They thrive on it. Even a few drops in the baby's bottle have a notice able effect for good. Nothing better than Scott's Emulsion for growing children. We'll tend you a sample free upon request. SCOTT St BOWNE, 409 Peart Street, Nik York. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer of Tuesday calls Senator Fulton to task in the following drastic manner: "Where was Senator Charles W. Ful ton, the champion of Eastern Oregon, last Wednesday when the government engineers visited tho scene of the Ono thing that is growing cheaper and cheaper yearly, is books. No mat ter how high the price of the necessl ties of life, may soar, books and read' lng matter will remain within reach of the poor. While bacon and lard are 100 per cent higher than live years ago, books are 50 per cent cheaper. Tho trusts may corner the book market If they wish the people to endure mental hunger. The lux uries must decrease In price to in duce tho common people to buy them, but tho necessaries that are growing higher and higher must be had, No matter what the sacrifice, the masses must live, so the combines are fore most gigantic river improvements which tho war department has over ng up tho prices of the overydny ar- undertaken, and that, too, In the state tides of food, and the luxuries are Mr. Fulton is to represent in the United States senate in the noxt six years? "This may seem an Impertinent question, and it may bo looked upon as a trivial matter that ho did not ac company the engineers on their tour of inspection, nut it is not imperti nent to asu the question nor Is It a trivial affair that he overlooked the opportunity to render his state a val- uable service, ".Mr. Fulton is a brand now senator. Ho is in tho strength and vigor of manhood, unlike his colleague, who is approaching the end of his career. He has six years of active legislative duty beforu him. An improvement is to be made by tho government that affects a territory vastly larger than all the Now England and Middle slates.

North Yakima will present Presi dent ltooaevelt with five boxes of se lect apples, chosen for their benutj of color, uniformity of she and the excellence of their flavor. The ap ples will be wrapped in linen paper, on which will be printed a legend of Yakima's versatillo resources. Pen dleton should not fall behind Yakima In giving a souvenir suggestive of her varied accomplishments. It would take a train to haul n sample of each of Pendleton's resources, yet tho rich iiess of the country, tho industries of tho city and the respect of the people of this vicinity should be concentrat ed In a souvenir of some .kind. While the effect of the new Irish land bill cannot yet be felt in tho Emerald Isle, the bright prospect It ment is to lie constructed within the uas 8llel1 before that oppressed race, state that has conferred upon him has-not effected the Irish immigration one of the highest honors within tho .glU of nny state. Why then should not Mr. Fulton havo been present with tho engineers here when they inspect ed the slto of this vast work? If for no other reason, he should have been present to have acquainted himself with tho requirements, so that If fur ther legislation is required if an ad ditional appropriation is to bo asked from tho next congress, wheh Is not Improbable ho could have intelli gently laid the matter before that body." to America. Within the past four months tho number of Irish immi grants) arriving at Now York was 8,200, against 4,002 for tho samo peri od In 1902, Tho one good thing about this incoming tide of Hibernians Is that they aro young, vigorous people of good habits and sound sense. No one over heard of an Irish dynamiter, Tho statu health board Is now se riously considering tho appointment of a meat Inspector for the Eastern .Oregon district, Tho discovery by the board that lumpy Jnw cattle wore being butchered nml sold to consum- or dovlco should be too good to placo ore at different points in tills part of at their disposal for tho city's pio Pendleton should remember her volunteer fire department and in crease the conveniences for It at overy possible opportunity. Tho promptness qnd readiness with which tho boys respond to the midnight cry of lire, should send a thrill of pride to every citizen's bosom. The city is In tho keeping of this body of alert men and no fire-Hell tluir nmarntiiH Oregon, has brought tho matter forci bly to Its attention, At tho present time there Is but ono government in spector In Oregon. Ho Is located In Portland .and Is kopt constantly em ployed In watching the meat output of that city. Dr. Woods Hutchinson, secretary of tho state board of health, -will visit Baker City soon, to Investl gato tho situation and if ho gets enough encouragement from Eastern 'Oregon, ho will recommend tho ap pointment of a government Inspector. At. tho present time the meat con sumption of tho principal points of TSastern Oregon is as follows: Maker 'City, 250 cattlo per month; Pendle ton and Umatilla county. 400 ner . Snionth; La Qrande, ,100; Union, 50; Sumpter, 150; Huntington, . 75; Wal- Jilowa county, 100, and scattering, 100, Including Elgin.

In the the Inland Empire baseball league, Pendleton leads tho four teams by ono point. Thero is reason to bo proud of this temporary leader ship, for It has been won from good ball players, and will bo defended more vigorously than over. Pendlo- ton went Into tho leuguo to win, a did all tho other members. It Is to bo a season of clean, artistic baseball and tho peoplo aro constantly show- mg their keen appreciation of this fact. Tho Now York courts have decided that Mrs, Charles Fair died first, in tho horrlblo automobllo accident in which sho and her husband wore In stantly killed. Only fifteen seconds elapsed between tho times of their death, yet on this fifteen soconds hangs tho distribution of an estate of threo million dollars. The death of William Henry Mil- burn, for many years famous as "The nilnd Chaplain," recalls tho romantic and heroic Incidents connected with his first election as a chaplain of congress In 1845. When Mllburn was 22, a very slight figure, his left eye entirely blind, his right eye having but one little transparent point not so big as tho head of a pin, giving him but a glimmer of tho outer world, he wns traveling by Ohio river steamer from Cincinnati to Wheeling, W. Va. Ho was then entirely unknown to the world except to the little band of cir cuit riders among whom he had been preaching in the backwoods for a year. To his great delight he found on tho steamer a large number of congress man of both houses, who were on their way to Washington for the onenlnir or a session. Mllburn expected great profit from their conversation, but was soon shocked at their profanity. tlielr gambling ,and their drunken ness. Tho Ohio river was low. and foes coming on, they were detained over Sunday, At breakfast a committee of passengers Invited Mllbuin to preach, and a congregation of 300 persons as sembled. At the close of a Inlef ser mon, to the astonishment of all, ho bowed to tho men before him, and said: "I understand that you aro members of tho congress of tho Unit ed States, and us such, you are, or should be, tho representatives, not only of the political opinions, but also of tho Intellectual, moral, nnd re ligions condition oi tho peoplo of this country. As I had rarely seen men of your class, I felt, on eomlne aboard this boat, a natiu.il Interest to. hear your conversation and to observe your habits. If I am tn .fudge the na tion by you, I can come to no other conclusion than that it Is composed ol' profane swearers, card players and drunkards. Suppose thero should be an intelligent foreigner on this boat, traveling through the country with tho Intent or forming a well-considered and unbiased opinion as to the practi cal working or our freo Institutions seeing you and learning your nosl tlon, what would bo his conclusion? Inevitably, that our experiment was a laiiure. ami our country Is hastening 10 destruction." nie congressmen worn a plucky iui, ami so admired me nerve and sin cerlty of the young preacher, that tnoy at once bestowed a niirni imnn him, and on arriving In Washington hecured his election as chaplain.
