Some day sad hearts will cease to yearn, And weary minds forget their care; And calloused hands will fold at rest. And pleading lips will end their prayer. And other hands and minds and hearts, Will bear the burdens these have borne; Appealing eyes will be upraised, And prayers ascend from . them that mourn. And other feet will tread the path Which other feet before them trod. Where does this endless striv- tng lead, But to forgetfulness or God? George T. Thompson In the 4 Coast Magazine. LAND HUNGRY "INDIANS.' Over 50,000 white people who claim to be descendants of the Five Civil feed tribes are now seeking admission to the tribes by enrollment, In order to secure an allotment within the orders of Indian territory. This number of white people rep resents those who have not yet been disposed of by the congressional al lotment committee, almost as many as this having already been allotted pon the tribal lands. Strange and alluring land hunger Is this which Impels this vast throng of whites to seek admission to the tribes as citizens. Many of the ap plicants for admission to the tribes re fair-haired, blue-eyed blondes, showing no more trace of Indian an cestry than the reddest necked Hi bernian who ever crossed the Atlantic, yet every one of the applicants, by some devious and torturous chain of ancestry Is supposed to be descended from some family belonging to tha FiTe tribes, before the westward Immigration of the tribes In 1834. It's the old story. White men, enamoured of the beautiful maiden In Georgia, Alabama and the Carollnas, back In the early years of the nine teenth century, took wives from among the five great tribes, which In IS34 were removed by the govern ment from the southern states to the Indian territory, where they have since lived. The Indlnn wives were taken into .very portion of the United States by their adventurous white husbands, became the mothers of large families, who In turn married and Intermar ried, until now after three generations the descendants of these Cherokee Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Sem inole maidens are tracing back their linkage, establishing their kinship to the old tribal families and although Hvfng the lives of civilized white people, proud of their American cltl aenshlp, and keenly sensitive to the Itast Insinuation of Inferiority In men tal, moral or business capabilities, are willing to accept the color of their forefathers, however red, In order to secure- a choice tract of rich land In the rapidly diminishing tribal hold tries. INCREASE IN DAIRYING. The fact that the increase In the dairy business In the Inland empire Blthln the past year has been 24 per cent greater than that In any other section of the Pacific coast. Is en couraging. And yet It Is but natural when the statural resources of the country are taken Into consideration. No other section of the west Is as perfectly adapted to the creamery and dairy business, In its highest degree, as Umatilla and adjoining counties. Profits from little things are to be considered more In the future. Here tofore nothing short of a half section f wheat land would claim the atten- tlon of the eastern Oregon farmer. Now a dozen hens and a half dosen milk cows are reckoned as assets of considerable value. They wllf be con sidered more and more valuable as the markets Improve and the facili ties for handling such farm produce expand. Within 20 miles of Pendleton, lying undeveloped as yet, Is one of the richest sections of country In the state. Some day. if the prophecy may be tolerated, this section will b. a solid collection of small, highly cultivated farms, supporting their fullest quota of fine stock and criss crossed with excellent country roads all leading to Pendleton, the county seat and metropolis. The Increase in dairying in this sec tion Is an Index to the tendency of Industrial development. Poultry raising and fruit growing have In creased in perhaps a greater propor tion than dairying, and are to Increase still more. Pendleton should encourage this tendency In firm development. It means an Increase In population In tributary country. It means more families to produce and to buy. It means more people to trade In Pen dleton, more people to build homes and seek schools here. LARGER THEATER NEEDED. It may not be quite proper to say that Pendleton NEEDS a larger the ater, because a theater Is a luxury and not a necessity. But in order that the sense of es thetlclsm, of artistic hunger, the long ing for the Intoxication of the drama be fully satisfied, something should be done to make It possible for a higher grade of theatrical perform ances to come to the city. As It Is now Pendleton gets only the ragtag and bobtalled edges of theatrical performances which ' are seen on the Pacific coast, while she Is entitled to the cream of the feast. She fills the theater to overflow ing for every good show. She patron izes! liberally every legitimate com pany which comes, and she Is denied the best because her theater will not accommodate them. She fares no better than North Powder, Haines or Milton In the way of theatrical performances, while hhe is entitled to first-class treatment and to receive first-class performances. The attention of capital is called to this need. Somebody will respond In time, and U would be much better If a local company would Invest In such an enterprise. In 10 years the number of students In certain great colleges of the coun try has Increased from 38,000 to 82,- 500 65 per cent. The 10 unlversl ties that have the largest attendance Include four Institutions in eastern states and six in western and middle western states. A competent authori ty points out that attendance is grow ing faster than the population, that western Institutions are growing fast er than eastern, that science and en gineering courses are forging ahead of the old courses in arts, that the num ber of women students Is increasing faster than men. The same authority predicts that in five years some one of the western universities, with state pride behind It, will take the lead In point of numbers over narvum, which is and has been the largest. HOW TO KEEP ALIVE. Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. That Is, be systematically ascetic or heroic In little unnecessary noints. do every day or two some thing for no other reason than that vou would rather not do u, so mat when the hour of dire need draws nigh. It may find you not unnervea and untried to stand the test. Asceticism of this sort Is like tne Insurance which a man pays on his house and goods. The tax does him no good at the time, and possibly may npver hrlnflr him a return. But If the fire does come, his having paid it will ho his solvation from ruin. So with the man who has dally Insured him elf to habits of concentrated atten tlon. energetic volition, and self-aeni al In unnecessary things. ne wm stand like a tower when everything rocks around him, and when his softer fellow mortals are winnowed like chaff In the blast Prof. James, of Harvard college. D ANTE' 8 HOUSE ROBBED. To the already voluminous cata logue of thefts of antiquities lately perpetrated at Florence, must now be added the audacious burglary of the famous house of Dante. Taking ad- vantage of the custodian's absence during the Christmas holidays, thieves effected an entrance, boring a hole through the wall on the first floor from an adjoining house, In process of demolition. The loot comprises A sliver urn, whereon Dante's Initials are traced, with his own ashes; a largo silver medallion portrait of the bard presented to Florence by the Republic of San Marino; also a virgin and child, painted by Clmabue, and vari ous objects of less Importance. The thieves penciled In sprawling charac ters over the breach In the wall: "You Florentines are all thick-headed, and don't know the value of what you pos sets."

Hill rode from Wolfert's Roost to the capltol Monday to attend the Patrick hearing, says tne New xork American. He had not been out be- fore for months. The lines of Mr. ' Hill's face are heavy. His cheeks and chin sag, his mustache Is white and his eyes are weak. He coughs frequently. His breath Is short. After i the hearing Mr. Hill lost no time In , getting to his carriage. His attendant watched him as a nurse does a child. "I am not well," said Mr. Hill to those who spoke with hi mln the cor ridor. "For some reason I do not seem to be able to throw off this cold. It has clung to me for months and now seriously Interferes with my comfort. I am having great diffi culty with my eyes. Reading Is pain ful. I am going away and I shall not return until I am greatly Improved, even If It be necessary to remain all winter." Joseph C. Sibley Summed Up. If Joseph C. Sibley quits public life a year from next March and he says he's going to the house will be "out" an interesting character. The repre sentative from the 28th district of Pennsylvania modestly describes him self In his official autobiography as a manufacturer and farmer. He man ufactures lubricating oils among other things; his stock farm Is famous and his bank account portentous. He sat In two congresses as a democrat, was talked of for William J. Bryan's run ning mate In 1896; then he became a republican. The Pittsburg Times says he has been a populist and prohibi tionist also. His Venango county neighbors call him "Joe," and think a lot of him. New York Press. Ynnng Bonaparte an Amorlcmi. Young Jerome Nanoleon Bonaparte. who Is credited with having won the hand of Miss Mathllde Townsend, Is like his uncle, the secretary of the navy, in the fact that he Is prouder of being an American citizen than of any other qualification. His only sis ter, Misb Louise Bonaparte, was mar ried to Count Von Moltke, a scion of the famous German house, and Je rome has spent much time In the courts of Berlin and Brussels. He might have joined the ranks of Bona partist pretenders and have sought a wife among European titled houses. for he has a handsome fortune and has no need to marry a fortune. But he has scorned the Idea. In Washing ton he has Identified himself thor oughly with resident rather than dip lomatic society. Bonaparte's father wus Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, elder brother of Charles J. Bonaparte. His mother Inherited two fortunes, one from her father, who was one of the New York Appletons, and the othei- from her first husband, of the New port Edgars. Washington Post. A FammiH PaHHcntrer Agent. Nearly everybody who has crossed the Atlantic on a Cunarder, knows that the passenger manager of the line for the last 40 years was John Kepple. He has just been retired on a handsome pension, and a commit tee of Influential Englishmen, Scotch men and Irishmen has been appointed to organize a suitable testimonial of regard. This Is sure to be on a large and representative scale. George H. Daniels, who has retired from the passenger department of the New York Central, Is better known, prob ably, than Kepple, yet I have heard of no testimonial or pension for him, If every man In America who has re ceived a favor from Mr. Daniels wo.uld chip In $1 for a memorial piece of plate, it would be nearly as big as the Washington monument. New York POBt. Home of Stevenson to Be Sold. The ne wowner of the far-famed Villa Valllma, once the home of the great novelist, Robert Louis Steven' son, near Apia, Samoa, is Julius Baet- oke, a wealthy young German mer chant of Hamburg, who Is now a guest at the Palace Hotel. When Stevenson died his widow sold the place to Gus- tav Kunst, a merchant prince, with stores In Hamburg, Honolulu, Apia, Vladivostok and elsewhere. Through Kunst's death his nephew and heir, tho Palace guest, has just come Into possession of the bulk of his estate, Including the Stevenson villa and sev eral plantations near Apia, Mr, Baetcke says he Is settling up the OF HEALTH Kunst estate, valued at about $1,000,' 000, and hopes to sell the Stevenson villa either to a tourist hotel syndl cate headed by St. Lou 1 shins, or else to the German government for a res- idence for Its Samoan governor. San Francisco Examiner. . INSANE ASYLUM REFORM, The Journal believes that one of the most lmportunt matters that should be taken up by the next legis- lature Is Insane asylum reform, says the Salem Journal. The usual white-washing report that costs the state about 11000 should be cut out and real Investigation should be undertaken The law for committing Dei-sons to the Insane asylum should be revised so that the slate and Individual should be protected against Improper com mitments. The Institution should be overhaul ed and persons not properly charge able to the btate or really Insane should be taken out. The attendance is ridiculously large for the population of this state and many are not prop erly persons belonging In an asylum. The Jaw requiring persons and es tates able to defray the expense of keeping insane persons there should bo cither enforced, repealed or made effective. We nre not prepared to say that this law Is not now enforced, but we shall look up the law and publish Its provisions, and the commitment law, and let the matter be discussed and let the abuses be reformed, There are many people who believe that this state is carrying too big burden at the Insane asylum and it should be reduced THE LURE OF OLD SONGS. You were playing sweet and low, The old songs of long ago; And the high lamp's crimosn shade Poured a softened light that made Mystic shadows In your hair Shadows which were laughing there As the shadows of the dawn Leaped and laughed In days agone. So you played and so I dreamed While the pranking firelight gleamed In its race along the wall; And I heard the boy days call In the songs that thrilled my heart With their subtly simple art As when practiced hands are swept O'er a harp that long has slept. Winding paths through meadowlands, Brooks that sang on silver sands. Bending branches of the trees, Noontime chants of honeybees, Drifting Indian summer haze, Pelting snows of wintry days. Wondrous stars that blazed abov All this you knew nothing of. . Yet you played and playing, wrought All the glories unforgot; And the high lamp's ruddy .glow Where the glints swayed to and fro Seemed some way to blend aid blur Into those fair days that were Led me backward, mile on mile. To each golden olden while. W. D. Nesblt In Chicago Tribune, THE COMING UTOPIA. But the wild dreams of poets and Utopians are to be realized! The ex- perlence of the race has at last nearly taught that race that there Is nothln In profits, In business, for It Hu manlty, pushed to the last resort, deciding to drop competition and try co-operation, and to have in the place of wealth, plenty. The arts, the scl ences, the humanities are comln back to the common people even now. A day and all may be "better than well." Poor business men, with your money-making ways; It Is your fate to go on a little longer, seeking "what there Is In It"; till the evolution business Is complete, and the bonds of economic slavery grow over-tight Then the gospel of prophets and poets will supplant your gospel; and while those whom you despise are welcomed In the land you will be dismissed- oh Irony! as the veriest of dream ers!
