Were Joy to come, and say. so
tenderly,
"Dear friend. I have a little
hour for thee.
And thou. I know, hast long
had need for me."
The whole of life would thrill
In that brief space.
The past forgotten, though its
cold, dead face
Might catch n glamor from
this later grace
And I should say. "O Joy, thy
feet were slow:
I put my hand In thine, and
whither go
1 know not, nor, rejoicing, euro
to know."
Charlotte Elizabeth Wells, in

these thrilling essays or editorials,
has ever portrayed an lota of the
meaning contained In a enrtoon on
the first page of the Oregon Sunday
Journal, of yesterday. The plcturu
represents a strong stonu wall, high
TMiii rorbldding, with an Iron tiluged
gate, locked and barred, and sur
mounted with frowning pillars. Over
the gate Is written "Inland Empire,"
and from behind It streams the golden
sunbeams of prosperity and progress,
representing the spirit that seeks to
rush out to the world, through the
barred gate. Hehiiul that closed gate
is crowding the traffic aud commerce
or an empire, seeking egress to the
world, but it is securely locla'd. In
front of the gate stands Oregon, repre
sented as a beautiful woman, holding
Dawson City, some hundred miles
awav. How, then, Is the Whirlpool
published? An ordinary typewriter
does It all, Mrs. Wright having earn
ed her living In San Francisco by
typewriting before going to Alaska.
Capital letters do servlco lor display
type, while small ndvortlsoinentB and
reading matter go In lower case let
ters. The first edition of the Whirlpool
was a wonder. Not a sheet of whlto
paper or even wrapping paper could
be found In Hampart City. Finally,
utter a tour of the place. Mrs.
Wright discovered n quantity of red
brown paper almost ns thick as paste
board. With this and her typowrlter
she got out the first paper of 10 pages,
eight by 12 Inches, bound mid stitch
ed by the editor herself on her sew
ing machine. Every copy was sold as
soon as bound, the miners standing In
line before the office of the publisher
waiting to secure a copy. .Manchester

JAPANESE NEWSPAPERS.
The newsboys of Japan have been
renplng a harvest during the past six
mouths.
The people of Japan are great read
ers aud besides they are exceedingly
patriotic and Intensely Interested in
the war with Russia. You can see,
then, how anxious they must be to
get the latest news of the war.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
The experiment In Leeds, England,
of government ownership of tramways
shows oxcelluntly for Its last financial
year. Wages were raised, the fares
lower than In our country, and a sur
plus was earned which goes Into the
city treasury to reduce taxes. In de
tail, the municipality owns and oper
ates the tramways.
For the year ending March 2ii. 11)01,
the gross Income from them was $1,
3R3,l32.22 and tho operating and
maintenance expenses $"2.1,(529.21,
leaving a gross profit or $r,!).1.!)0ii.01.
From this last sum were deducted
various charges for depreciation, In
come tax and Interest, leaving a not
profit ot $110,019.70; and. after re
demption fund charges of $128,115.4'.)
were taken from this, a surplus of
$208,071.30 was left and turned ovet
to the city treasurer to bo used in re
ducing the .city tnxes. That Is the
largest profit over shown by the tram
ways In any city In the Vnlted King
dom. One of tho best operating reforms
has been tho giving of bonuses every
three months to motormen who ran
their cars without an accident. This
has resulted in a more careful serv
ice, a reduction of accidents and an
Increase of pay where. It Is appreciat
ed. Taken altogetlior, tho experi
ment Is going well in Leeds. Hut all
municipal matters are th.o prey ot cer
tain politicians. The test of this sys
tem will ho its resistance to political
domination. If a city can run a busi
ness, pure and simple. It Is bound to
succeed. Jacksonville Times.

drawing around Port Arthur. Is one
of the surprises of modern history.

Siie little thought that this handful
of despised barbarians, that scarcely

contempt Into surprise and consternation.

gressions from the Oerman, the Hrlt

she scoffed the thought!
Put the evolution of destiny has
.changed the entire front of civiliza
tion and history In the Orient.
Tuissia bullded Dalney to become
tho empress of the Orient, the tiueon
of the eastern commercial world. She
expended millions on the splendid
docks, wharfs, jetties, port and har
bor accommodations, thinking that
the plumed and armed knight. Port
Arthur, standing guard over this beau- j
tlful queen, would be a sure safeguard
against the jealousy of (laul, Uriton .
or YanKee. no otner power came
within the horizon of her fear, at that
time.
Then after equipping tills queen to
acquire the commercial supremacy of.
the Orient, she set about to conquer
and Intimidate all the surrounding
races, to make sure of a tributary ter
ritory sufficient to guarantee abso
lute safety and commercial security.
China, she partially subdued and
partitioned, to suit herself. Corea,
she began to dlvldo to suit her own
voracious appetite, when lo! the pig
my rises to the stature of man, flings
down tho gauntlet to tho Rear, and
the whole destiny of the Orient Is
shitted and the splendor of Russian
hope Is dismantled and shattered.
Dalny, tho guarded queen of tho
East, falls Into tho hands of tho
hated pigmies, nnd they swarm
through the spUndld streets and de
vastate the priceless harbor equip
ments, to prevent any further uso by
tho Russians, should they retake It.
By a thousand piu pricks, and ag
gravating covert attacks, the Japan
eso have driven tho pride of tho Rus
sian army from fort to fort, from hid
ing place to hiding place, and from
surprise to surprise, until a lino of
half a million troops now almost en
tirely cuts off tho boasted Port Arthur
from all Russian supplies and forces,
and It seems only a question of days
until tho plumed knight, as well as
the princess ho guarded, on tho far
Oriental shoro, shall become tho
prlzo of tho pigmy Jap,
In tho strango turn of destiny In

It would he very unwise to give no

The Injustice nnd oppression of the
modern express companion was never
moro thrilling!- Illustrated than In
the now parcels post agreement just
closed between the United States and
Japan. Under this agreement parcels
weighing 414 pounds can be sent back

at a maximum rate of 12 cents per
pound, or a total of f4 cents for a
