'TIs not In the pages ot story Tim heart of Its Ills to lie- ruIIo, Though he that makes court- ship to Glory o Gives nil that he hath for her smile. But when from her heights ho has won her, Alas! It Is only to nrovo That nothing's so sacred as honor. And nothing's so loyal as love. We cannot make bargains for blisses. Nor catch them like fishes In nets; And sometimes, the thing our life misses Helps more than the things which we gel. For good llcth not in pursuing Nor gaining of great nor of small; lint Just in the doing and do ing As wo would bo done by to all. ' Allco Carey. Pendleton Is prepared to catch trade "coming and going." Sho is shipping tons of ice to cool and tons ot blankets to warm the needy hu man species. The cheerful kicker Is n more use ful citizen than tho resigned saint who suffers injustices to be heaped upon him. Kicking Is no crime If you kick hard enough nt the right time. General Miles Is a modest, unas stimlng man, and can bond gracefully to circumstances, but the long stop from the champagno of army circles to the town pump of a prohibition convention will tax tho old warrior's powers of adaptability. Nature seems always to hold a re serve of destructive elements over ready to strike at prosperity In Kan sas. When the hot winds fall to kill crops, Hoods are turned loose to draw them. Tho pest never falls to ma terialize nt tho right time. The democratic delegation from California to tho national convention, left San Francisco yesterday on a special train ono car of dolegates and two cars of wine. It really begins to look llko a Hearst victory. It would bo a shame to have It said that two full carloads of the Callfor nla vintage accomplished nothing. Damages recovered In money for loss of llfo, can novor restoro tho vital spark nor rebuild tho shattered household altars, It seems cruel and debased and heartless to measure the loss of a child or parent by such a meaningless standard as dollars and cents, and yet It some fear of pen alty did not restrict the corporations on land and sea, more desperate risks would bo taken nnd more criminal carelessness would bo practiced in handling human freight. Suits will bo filed against tho owners ot tho Slocum for damages tor at least a por tion of tho 1000 lives snuffed out through tholr disastrous carolessness. If tho right laws provalled and woro onforced rigidly, Insuring reasonable safety, such death traps would not menace tho public. Instead of mak ing laws to recover after lives are lost, if peoplo would turn tholr atten tion to moro intelligent and practical legislation to prevent accident, those horrors would bo reduced to tho min imum. The peoplo are to blame for such disasters, Thoy tolorato law breakers and law ovaslon. The thumbscrews of restriction nro In tho hands of tho peoplo. Thoy can tlghton thorn down or relax tho tension to Bult themselves. If thoy ilx tho measuro of hnmon llfo as a moro matter of dollars and conts, the cor porations will take tho risk. Well onforced laws for tho prevention of carolessnoss are moro sane than laws for tho recovery of damages through legalized carelessness. j There was a touch of justifiable bitterness In tho voice of Joaquin Miller, as ho Bpoko to tho Indian war veterans of Oregon, nt the Fourth of July celebration tit Pendleton In ISOfi. Part of a short address ho made at that time, accompanies his poem, "The Fourth lu Oregon," recited nt that time and now published In his com plete works. Miller Is a hearty hater and n fer vent lover nnd his extremes ot senti ment nro tho most marked character istics of his writings. Smarting undor tho memory ot tho treatment of tho heroes of tho early Indian wars In Oregon, by tho United States government, ho says, In n dra matic and touching strain: "Tho story ot Oregon, glowing with great deeds, tragedy, drama sur passes anything In tho history of any other stnto, east or west, old or now 'When tho paw of the Urltlsh lion reached down from Cnnada and lnld heavy hand on Oregon, (heso plo neers mot under their great llrs and proclaimed to the world that thoy woro not British subjects, but Amerl can citizens. "Marcus Whitman mounted horso In midwinter nnd sut out alono to rido 3000 miles and lay the facts be fore tho president. Yet tho govern ment never lifted a hand to help save Oregon to the nation. "So far -from that, a senator uroso lu his seat nnd literally denounced all effort In that direction by saying: I would to God wo had never heard of that country; we do not want U foot of ground on the Pacific ocean.' Webster himself was hardly less cruel. "But undaunted, Whitman gather ed up hundreds of wagons and led back to Orogun; the first that over crossed tho plains. Ho saved Oregon but ho lost his life and all his house. "Then tho pioneers, to nvongo tho massacre, declared war on their own account, fought it to a finish without ever so much as a man or a gun from the government, made peaco on tholr own Recount, then went to work and dug their own gold from their own ground, and then with their own hands coined it and paid their war debts and from the first, kept their paper with Its face In virgin gold. "The coins wero. made of virgin gold with a Bheaf of wheat on ono side and a beaver on tho other, the wheut showing tho richness of the soil and the beaver symbolizing tho industry of the people. Oregon Is the only division of the government that over coined gold under authority of law. "More than onco overy man and boy who could carry a gun or drlvo a team, wus In tho field. My father ami his three sons, aged 10, 12 and 14 were all nt ono time teamsters In a supply train, following tho maraud ing savages. "And tho government has paid for these services, tardily, If at all. Tho meanness Is Incredible. There are millions still due Oregon. Some ot thosi) veterans who saved tho state uro needy now and It mukes one blush for his country to seo them treated so meanly, oven to tho last." Oregon schools should teach moro of Oregon. Tho facts surrounding tho discovery and formation of these mar velous Northwest states are too sparingly taught. It Is now a century since tho first great crusado pierced tho Western wilds and written his tory has not kept pace with the ma terial progress of this region. Volumes are yet unwritten about Oregon, and many of those already written are unread. Oregon, onco de spised, Is now tho Mecca and shrine of hundreds ot thousands ot-hungry hearted settlers, tired ot the narrow rock-bound New Englaud coast, nnd Its century old ways. thus, the lending scholars nttondlng tho schools for nntlvos aro sont to Ilussla, whoro they romnlu for two or threo years in n seminary; thon ns a rulo a Hussion wlfo Is found for them, and thoy return to Palestine ns teach ers. This fact explains tho strong Russian leanings possessed by the Arabian teachers nnd thoroby Itus- sla's inlluonco In Syria nnd Palostlno Increases dally. ON UMATILLAS' FEAST. The Oregon Dally Journnl, In sneak ing of tho coming feast and Fourth of July celebration on the Unintllla reservation, says: "Pendleton papers announce that anions tho local attractions of Fourth of July will bo the great fenst and cel ebration of the Umatilla Indians, nnd tho suggestion Is made that an excur sion Bhould be run from Portland and way points so ns to enable ns many ns possible to witness theso strango ceremonies of a disappearing raco. "The suggestion is an excollont ono. Comparatively tow of tho peoplo of Oregon hnvo witnessed theso In dian festivals, nnd few, therefore, ap preciate their Interest To tho more sightseer as well as to the studont of aboriginal history the auuiial colobra tlon by the Umutlllas Is well worth .seeing. The famous fin? danco of the Yniitti Indians, which attracts thous ands ot visitors every year, Is not moro grotesque nor more curious than tho strango orgies of this nortnorn tribe, which from year to year per forms the savage rites handed down from times immemorial. Tho opportunity to study theso mys tic practices of the red men, having thulr origin long boforo tho coming of tho paleface, grows less each year, ns the civilizing influences about them slowly alienate the Indians from the customs of their ancestors. To the student of early American history the spectacle Is of Intense In terest and enn not fall to be of great value. To the (ourlst or the seeker after some new thing the sight is strange and weird lu the extreme. Pendleton offers a Fourth of July week attraction which should bring mnny visitors within Its gates." Through the SMn TO THE BLOOD. Some of the most stubborn tliseascs enter into the system through the pores of the skin. The juices of Poison Oak nnd Ivy nnd other noxious wild plants, when taken into the circulation, break out afresh each season, , and linger on for years unless antldoteil nnd driven out ' of the system.

It wus founded by n cemetery company and was so suc cessful that It received tho official ap probation. All candidates for tho post of sexton in Belgium must havo been graduated at this unique academy. The man who complains of novor having had a chaneo hasn't energy enough to tnkc advantage of one. RUS8IA IN PALE8TINE. According to a recent Russian con sular report, six years ngo 9000 chil dren attended tho Russian schools In Syria. Tho number Is now 20,000. Last spring a Russian squadron un der Rear Admiral Krlegor paid a visit to Jaffa, from which point his mon visited by rail Jerusalem. Thoy found there that among all the for eign Christian communities Russia had taken the lead throughout the Holy Land, nnd especially in Jerusa lem, In buying land and In building and establishing missions, schools, hospitals ami monasteries. The Russian "Now Jerusalem," with Its fine modern buildings, forms a lit tle town of itself a fortress that com mands Jerusalom. Russia lma bought one-third of tho Mount of Olives and Inclosed It and tho Oethsomano church by a wall, while from boyond tho Jordan thcro can bo soon tho lotty Russian towor built on tho summit ot the mount, and closo to tho Church of tho Ascension, Tho Russian Palostlno society has existed nearly a quartor of a century, nnd it plays a vory im portant part as tho tool of pan-Slavism In Syria and Palestine.
