If you have a sort of notion
That your clay Is rather fine;
If you pay yourself devotion
As a winner in your line;
Kindly ask yourself a query.
As the humblest mortal may
Though the answer make you
weary:
What's the difference in the
clay ?
Worthless tramp upon the high
way Knows emotions you 1 have
shown;
Meanest sinner on some byway
Love and hate and Joy has
known.
Wants his breakfast and his
dinner.
Wishes clothing on his way
Now. as you're a favored sinner.
What's the difference in the
clay?

The one supreme wonder of the
fearful eruption Is the daring of Pro-

of the volcano.i who, during the most
severe eruptions has remained at his
post until forced to leave after his
observatory had been destroyed and
his instruments torn and shattered by
the flying scoria and blistered by the
scalding showers from the mountain.
For 15 years this Intrepid man has
lived at the mouth of the crater and
has takon observations of his "pet,"
as he designates the volcano, every
dayi Many times he has been crip
pled by flying pebbles and scorched
by hot ashes which have enveloped
his home, but seldom has he fled from
even the most terrible eruptions.
His daring in the present eruption
has been phenomenal. He has main
tained his line of telegraph from the
mountain and during the Intervals
between the awful showers of hot
water and ashes, he has sent reassur
ances to the city of Naples, and has
prevented an absolute rout of the
people, by his reliable Information
from the volcano.
THE PEOPLE SUPREME.
The returns from Oregon counties
showing that 138 out of 230 legislative
candidates have taken pledge No. 1
in regard to the election of United
Slates senator proves that the vlll fit
the people will hereafter count for
something in Oregon.
The agitation for the people's choice
for United States senator through the
press of Oregon has borne fruits.
VARIETIES OF STATESMANSHIP.
Frederick Warde. the actor who
was in Pendleton recently, told of
having heard President McKinley say
In a' private conversation, that a line
from Wolsey's advice In "King Henry
VIH," had been his whole creed of
public life. McKinley said he always
kept the sentiment expressed in this
simple line foremost In his mind and
llgned. Its truth always guided his
acts.
This was the line he repeated to
Warde: "Let all the ends thou alm'st
at be thy country's, thy God's and
truth's."
How far from this exalted motto
of the great statesman is the motto of
a majority of the public men of today!
What conception have the Burtons,
the Platts, the Depews, the Aldriches.
of the high standard of this creed
which guided McKinley?

The egg Is as large as that of a duck
or goose, and must have been laid
hundreds of thousands , of years ago.
A bird of the size of a goose or cor
morant must have laid it. and then It
fell intd the water, or into the soft
ooie of which limestone is formed
with sufficient force to become Im
bedded, and thus protected.
For years the ooae continued to be
formed on top and at last the whole
became consolidated Into limestone.
Then the limestone was lifted from
Its watery bed, perhaps by volcanic
action, and formed a portion of a
mountain range. Through the agen
cy of frost and rain, cold and sun
shine fracments of limestone were
broken off, until at last the egg was
reached, and the piece of stone con
taining it fell Into the Gila river. It
was rolled over and over among the
multitude of other stones, until Its
angles were rubbed off, and It be
came a water-worn pebble in a moun

LIFE AXD DEATH.
O solemn portal, veiled In mist and
cloud.
Where all who have lived throng
in, an endless line ,
Forbid to tell by backward look or
sign.
What destiny awaits the advancing
crowd;
Dumb, spectral gate, terrestrial yet
divine.
Beyond whose areh all powers and
fates combine,
Pledged to divulge no secrets of the
shroud.
Close, close behind we step, and
strive to catch
Some whisper in the dark, some glim
mering light;
Though circling whirls of thought
intent to snatch
A drifting hope a faith that grows
to sight;
And yet assured, whatever may be
fall. That' must be somehow best that
comes to all.

THIS IS SUCCESS.
To live well.
To laugh often.
To love much.
To gain the respect of Intelligent
men.
To win the love of little children.
To fill one's niche and accomplish
one's task.
To leave the world better than one
finds it, whether by an Improved
flower, a perfect poem, or another
life ennobled.
To never lack appreciation of
earth's beauty or fail to express It.
To always look for the best In
others.
To give the best one has. ,
To make one's life an inspiration
and one's memory a benediction.

AMERICAN TEA FARM.
The tea farm at Sorr.erville, S. C,
the only one of Its kind In the west
ern hemisphere, Is able this year to
send 12.000 pounds of tea to market.
With the kindly assistance of the gov
ernment of the United States this
farm has gTOwn to a point where It
can offer serious competition with the
best grades of tea shipped from China,
India, Formosa or Java. But, above
all, It has been demonstrated that,
barring the question of labor, the
finest tea can be successfully grown In
this country and there Is nothing that
gladdens the heart of an American
more than the discovery that he can
enter Into competition In a field hith
erto denied him.- "
JUSTICE Wll.l. HE DONE.
The business men of Caldwell held
an indignation meeting the other day,
to protest against Debs and the so
cialist press trying to prejudice the
public against the state officers and
witnesses in the Steunenberg murder
case. They are right, but look on the
other side, what an Indignation and
protest the miners have coming. The
dallv prss publishing "confessions"
of Orchard by the page, when the
governor has repeatedly announced
that no hint of Orchard's confession
would be given out prior to the trial.
That looks like trying to create preju
dice against the accused. It occurs to
us that the press has been guilty of
serious Indiscretions on both sides of
the case. Iduho Unionist.
WHO IS TO BLAME?
The Grant County News says of
Oregon land laws:
The methods of sale by which the
state of Idaho realizes from 120 to
S40 per acre on its school lands is in
sharp and painful contrast of Ore
gon's shameless squandering of the
nation's gift the birthright of her
children. And the greatest shame for
Oregon is that the shame still per
sists. Time and obloquy fall to end
the abuse.

sold for 125.800 in Idaho lain Just

SITUATION IN IDAHO.
During his visit to Lewlston on
Saturday. Governor Gooding was In
terviewed by a representative of the
Tribune of that city regarding the po
litical condition In the state and the
status of the Moyer-Haywood-Pettl-bone
cases. In the course of his In
terview, the governor said:
'I am convinced the people at large
have little Idea of the magnitude of
the conspiracy the state is engaged In
defeating or It would understand bet
ter what I menn In giving my whole
energies to the Issue.
"The public has little Idea, either,
of the dally machinations the authori
ties have to face but this Is one nf the
penalties that have to be met If this
state and other states are to mnlntoin
their sovereign functions of provid
ing Individual citizens with the ordi
nary" rights of freedom of action and
protection of person and property un
der the law. It makes little differ
ence what becomes of me but It makes
n great deal of difference whether or
not the state has the power and the
purpose to do Its duty In a great crisis
like the law now has to face."
