There Is lots of Joy In living If
you strike the rroper gait;
If you always come up smiling
In the face of every fate.
If you're keeping step and
whistling some lively little
tune,
Tnu'll be living gay and happy
as a sunny day In June.
Keep a level head, don't worry.
help your brothers on the
way;
Let the sunshine of good humor
shine upon you evry day;
Speak a cheerful word at all
times, never "knock" your
fellow man.
And you'll surely be rewarded
Just keep doing all you
cun.
Scatter good cheer like the
thistle scatters seed before
the wind,
And the petty woes and trou-
bles soon will be left far be-
hind,
Be a "booster" ev"ry minute,
help along your fellow man,
And you'll surely be rewarded
Just keep doing all you
can.

MAYOR LANE'S DEFIANCE.
Mayor Harry Lane of Portland, de
fies the democratic machine organiza
tion of Multnomah county and will
not submit to the regulation halter
which the machine hoped to put about
his neck when he promised to be a
candidate for re-election.
There is but one way In which Lane
will stand tor re-election and that Is
upon the understanding that he en
Joy absolute freedom In his adminls
tratlon. There are to be no pinioned
arms, no muzzled mouths, no shack
led feet but absolute freedo'm on part
of the mayor to direct his adminis
tration for the best interest of the
people.
Harry Lane has been a mayor
without a master and Portland ha
benefited by the Lane administration.
If he can continue his free and un
trammeled policy, he will serve again,
If not, he will not be a candidate.
It is really refreshing to see and
hear men of this type openly defying
the machines, both democratic and re
publican. THE TRAGEDY OF MOTHERHOOD
One of the most beautiful short
sermons on the endless tragedy of
motherhood which It has been the
pleasure of the East Oregonlan to
read, is contained In a recent editor
ial In the San Francisco Bulletin.
That this appeal to the daughters and
sons of careworn and overworked
mothers may be read In Pendleton, It
if republisned, in the hope that It
may change some of the heartlessness
of which It tells, into love and devo
tion. The Bulletin says:
Children, as they grow up, take
their mothers for granted. They do
KIDNEY TROUBLES
The kidneys are essential organ
for keeping the body free from Im
purities. If they should fall to work
death would ensue in very short time.
Inflammation or irritation caused
by some feminine derangement may
spread to some extent to the Kidneys
end affect them, The cause can be
so far removed by using Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
that the trouble will disappear..
When a woman is troubled with
pain or weight in loins, backache,
swelling of the limbs or feet, swell
ing under the eyes.n uneasy, tired
feeling in the region of the kidneys,
she bbould lose no time in com
mencing treatment with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
It may be the means of saving her life. Bead what this medicine did.
for Kate A. Hearn, 520 West 47th Street, New York, who writes:
Dear Mrs. Plnkham: "I owe a debt of gratitude to Lydia E. Pink
barn's Vegetable Compound for it has saved my life. I suffered with
Kidney trouble, irregularities and painful periods, and my blood was
fast turning to water. I used your medicine for some time and it has
made me strong and well."

and herbs cures Female Complaints, such as Falling and Displacements,
and Organic Diseases. Dissolves and expels Tumors at an early stage.
It strengthens and tones the Stomach. Cures Headache, General Debility
and invigorates the whole system. For derangement of the Kidneys in
either sex Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is excellent.
Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women

not perceive the mother's sacrifice;
they do not comprehend the renunci
ation that goes with the toll of bring
ing up a family; they do not think
of the other and easier careers which
the mother might hare had.
One of the great and enduring hu
man tragedies Is this blindness of chil
dren to the maternal sacrifice. Near
ly all children are In some measure
and without knowing It heartless and
I selfish.
How many daughters chide their
bent and worn mothers with being
prematurely old-fashioned; ignorant
that the mother's desuetude is the
price exacted by nature for the daugh
ter's coming Into bloom? We find
the Indian custom of sending wldow-3
to the burning ghat revolting; but wo
consent to consume our own moth
ers. Mothers suffer keenly from the
blameless Insensibility of thetr chil
dren; but their suffering Is only tho
operation of the law of compensa
tion. That lively sense of benents receiv
ed which children owe to their moth
ers and seldom pay Is carried forward
In nature's bookkeeping and the debt
'.- acquitted when' In the next genera
tion the children of those children
lightly turn from the maternal side
tJ seek the more congenial compan
ionship of youth and beauty. Parents
should accept the world as It wag's;
it is idle to repine.
EUGENE GOES FORWARD.
In electing J. D. Matlock, the mu-
I nlclpal ownership candidate for may
or, the city of Eugene goes a step
I forward among her sister cities In
Oregon,
Municipal ownership of wa-.er and
lighting facilities Is becoming a popu
lar and winning program In all the
leading cities of the country and in
the new charter of Pendleton a pro
vision should be made by which) the
city may acquire power sites, devel
op and maintain light and power
plants and be prepared to meet any
emergency which may arise In fu
ture. Now Is the time to acquire these
facilities while they are available. It
will be but a few years until an enor
mous price will have to be paid for
sites suitable for the development of
power and light and action should be
taken now to secure to the city a
property of this kind somewhere on
the Umatilla river.
tThe day of .municipal, ownership
should find Pendleton wisely supplied
with facilities.
XO CHANGE OF TEXT-HOOKS.
For a few years the people of Ore
gon have enjoyed comparative free
dom from the school book Imposition,
but now that a few agitating book
i agents have found tho ears of the
school book commission, another gen
eral change In school books Is pro
posed. I It Is announced that about one-half
I of the books used In the grades will be
j changed at a coming meeting of the
! slate text-book commission, the rea
isons being that a number of "leading
! educators" have advised a change,
i The real truth of the matter is,
I perhaps, that a few high-salaried
I agents of publishing houses not now
I represented in the course of study In
Oregon public schools, have urged
I the text-book commission to make a
change. These agents are paid to
find a market for bo6ks and they are
riot Interested In removing the enor
mous burdens of expense from the
shoulders of the people who" must
bear the expense of the change.
The present scries of school books
has been in use but a short time
about six years, and there Is little gen
eral complaint. The people are Just
recovering from a long series of
MISS KATE A. HEARN
changes In which the school book
companies plundered the state In a
high-handed manner. The people at
large do not want a change. They
are to be Judges, as well as educators.
The people pay the bills and the text
book commission should not be
guided entirely by salaried agitators
In such an Important matter.
Some of the "leading educators" of
the country who are clamoring for a
change of school books are drawing
$2500 to 13000 per year salary from
school book publishing houses and
their business is to secure frequent
changes of school books.
Let us have a breathing spell In the
school book proposition. Let the
people recover from a quarter of a
century of plundering to which they
were subjected before the text-book
commission finally fixed the text
books for six years, In 1901.
WISH THE KETTLE WOULD SING.
I wish the kettle would sing again.
Just as It used to do.
I wish it would sing of a lion Blaln
Of a pirate crew on the Spanish
Main
With a cabin boy and the Boy was I
Just as It used to do.
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as it used to do.
Of a little girl In a bonnet red,
Saved by a prince from a hydra-head
That lurked In the corn that towered
high,
And the girl was She and the Prince
was I
Just ns It used to do,
I wish It would sing of war's alarms.
The booming of cannon and clash of
arms
Of a blue-clad boy where the strife ran
high,
With face to the steel and willing to
die
Just as It used to do,
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as it used to do.
The lyrics it crooned and the tales It
told
But the hearth is chill and the years
are old,
The fancies It whispered have all
taken wing,
And never again will sing '
Just as it used to do.

ROADSIDE FHl'IT TKEES.
Americans who visit Belgium with
observant eyes, and note the rows of
fruit trees bordering the public roads, 1
come away Impressed with a sense of
wasted opportunity In this country.
Just think what in abundance
there would now be of fruit of all
kinds, as well as of umbrageous beau;
ty everywhere, If the miles and miles
of dull, shadeless American roads
hud been planted with hardy applo,
cherry, plum and pear trees! The
cost would have been slight, the
amount of care required small, the
returns, how large' In the neighbor
hood of towns and cities, ulso, the
abundunce of roadside fruit which
the boys might be permitted, under
slight restrictions, to pick '.up and
eat at will, would have been a pro
tection to private trees, which few
persons now attempt to grow on ac
count of the general apprehension
that the boys, not the cultivator,
would itfct the fruit. Maxwell's Talis

The landlords own most of the land

farmers, who assert that It is poor,
and consequently they have a hard
time to produce enough to. support
their families and pay the rent. Most
of the land seems to be Ujo J for pas

cultivation, as are the lands of Italy,
Germany and France. Besides, there

SCENE IX A THEATER, A. D.
2000.
As the curtain descended upon the
f'rst act, she arose abruptly and with
ill-concealed Impatience.
"Sorry, dear," she began brusque
ly, "but I shall have to leave vou for
a few moments; it's absolutely Im
perative that I should ste a woman
outside" And without waiting for
remonstrance, or even meeting the
sweet, reproachful gaze upturned to
hers, she extracted her hat and cane
and departed.
A vague sense of hurt and disap
pointment crept over the woung hus
band of but a few short weeks. He
lonk-;d about him. All over the
theater were men lonely ns himself,
fanning themselves, with forced
smiles, wuitlng patrently till their es
corts should return. He remember
ed his dear fother's parting advice,
and his soft eyes slowly filled.
And after all, perhaps he alone
had been to blame. It was the first
evening In a fortnight she had spared
him from her club, and he had con
cocted such a dear little supper to
please her! But he had been late In
dressing and had sent her back at
the last moment for his gloves.
Not until the very close did she re
appear. Then as she assisted him to

The value of S. S. S. ns a blood purifier has been thoroughly proven by
its forty years of successful service in the treatment of blood and skin dis
eases of every character. It is the best known and most generally used
blood medicine on the market today, because, in the forty years ol its exist
ence it has not disappointed those who have used it, and as a result of its
universal success in curing disease it has made friends EVERYWHERE.
It has been on the market for forty years, and its record in that tim
is one of which we are justly proud it is a record of forty years ol
cures. As a remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers,
.Skin Diseases, Con'. :ius Blood Poison and all diseases arising from as
impure or poisoned ti,.,t!ition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal. It goe
into the circulation and thoroughly cleanses it of all impurities and makes 1
complete and lasting pure ol tue.se troubles and disorders. It furnishes tc
weak, polluted blood, rich, health-giving and health-sustaining qualities,
and as this pure, fresh stream circulates through 'the system, all parts of thi
body are invigorated and made strong and healthy. S. S. S. is the onlv
blood medicine on the market that can claim absolute freedom from mineral
in any form.' This great medicine is the product of nature's forests and
fields, and is made from the healing, cleansing juices and extracts of roots,
herbs and barks. It is, therefore, in addition to being a certain' cure foi
blood troubles, an absolutely safe medicine for young or old. It is not ao
experiment to use S. S. S. ; it is a
proven its worth and ability by its forty years of cures. If yon need a blood
remedy begin the use of S. S. S., and write our physicians and they will sent)
