And tho the thunder falls un heard, We cannot hope to hide the word, For the great Judgment angels trace God's whispered flat on the face: Unknown to us the Judgment Book Is open for the world to look. Edwin Markham in August Nautilus. "BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY." High up on a precipice overlooking the scene of a terrible wreck on the Southern Pacific In California, some body was written In great white letters on the brow of the rocks, tin words from holy writ: "Behold, I come quickly." Several years ago a large number of people perished In the twinkling of an eye In a railroad ac cident there. On the bleak rocks of the Mendo cino coast this thought has been bt ought home in another terrible dis aster in the sinking of the Columbia. Capricious, Indeed, is the uncertain fate on whose shoulders the human species ride. Today at high noon 60 men are killed In a railroad accident. Tomorrow at midnight thrice that number go to the bottom of the sea in a palaclous steamer. And every second in the day human life gives up the ghost here and there lit its myriad of abiding places. But no matter in what form it comes, that Is a sunny philosophy which says: "I am not afraid to trust myself with that power which put me here." HEXEY, THE FIGHTER. Every Oregonlan will be prouder of Francis J. Heney, the land fraud prosecutor, after having read the ex cedent review of his life and public sen-ices by Lincoln Steffens, in the August number of the American Magazine. Bteffens begins with Heney as boy, "south of Market street," a ring leader of the street fighting gang of the Bay City, and brings him down to date, the fearless, persistent, capable and IrreDroachable prosecutor of fraud in public lands In Oregon and In public office in San Francisco. This review of the life of this useful upright citizen Is Inspiring and should be extensively read. It was thought that official crook' edness In Oregon was so safely In trenched behind political Influence that It would be Impossible to dis lodge It. Vain hope! This mild-eyed, soft-voiced attorney, fresh from Arizona, knew how to pro ceed and had the nerve to proceed, and dislodged the criminals and the record is now a part of the history of Oregon. COST OF RUNNING NEWSPAPERS. Very few persons, comparatively, have any adequate Idea of the Im mense cost of producing a modern dally newspaper, particularly In the large cities of the country. Some au thentic figures on the subject have recently been made public and will doubtless occasion surprise to the uninformed. The "composition" (printers' week- ly payroll), for Instance, on the Bal tlmore American is $2000; on the Boston Globe, J4200; on the Globe Democrat. $3000; on the New York Herald, $4000, and other papers in proportion. Bills for special telegrams are an other big Item of expense. On the Chicago Herald a few years ago they ran to $4500 per month; St. Lou! Globe-Democrat, $12,000; San Fran Cisco Examiner, $8000; Boston Herald, $6000, and St. Louis Republic, $4, 000. Then there Is the white paper bill which Is greater than the others com bined. On the New York World it Is nl.i to run $700,000 per year, and on the Nov York American nhnnt the Slime: .on mi: i.mt-Kt. $250 nnn. mid nn the Boston Globe and Herald about $350,000 each; on the Enquirer about $300,000, and on many other papers It runs from 100,000 to 1250,000 every 12 months. While It does not cost nearly so much money In proportion, to run a newspaper In u smaller town as In the large cities mentioned, the bill of expenses would surprise many persons who are not familiar with tho busi ness. There are few local industries that contribute more to the business life of the community by virtue of their payrolls than the newspapers. THE DESPICABLE "SPOTTER." There Is always a man for every Job, no matter how low the Job or how small Its emoluments. But of all the Jobs creuted by the commercialism of this age, that of the railroad "spotter" or spy, seems to be the lowest and vilest. The "spotter" works with men for months, makes their acquaintance, gains their confidence, worms Into their friendship, learns their secrets. If they have any and then turns traitor. His treachery Is far more despica ble than any crime he may be in search of. He is a lower wretch than the lowest thief in the railroad scrv- Ice, because he betrays a confidence, Ms a friendship tor a miserable Balary. It may be true that there is no other way In which to reach certain petty crimes In the service of big corporations. But If corporations al ways set a good example and did not follow questionable tactics In their dealings with the public, would they not- more fully prevent tho crimes which they seek to discourage by use of the snake-like "spotter?" The eagle-eyed statistician of Port land never sleeps. Last week Port land's exportatlons of wheat exceed ed those of Seattle by three bushels, Portland bank clearings overshadow ed Seattle's by 93 cents. Shipping ac tlvltles In Portland "skinned" Seattle by four fishing smacks and two river boats, and livestock shipments into Portland were greater than those re celved In Seattle by six hogs, a cow anicalf and 19 sheep. During the past two weeks the O, R. & K. company has had perhaps 50 cars of material tied up In this pity for want of men to unload them., It has been impossible to secure men to work at unloading ties and track ma terials at any price. This Is an Illus tration of the many strange causes which enter Into the car shortage of the country. The company needed Its cars and tried every way to release them for service, but could not do so. The Oregonlan complains that sev eral state Institutions In Oregon are not located at the state capital "as provided by the state constitution There are many, many things which have been done by political machines In Oregon which are not strictly with in the provisions of the constitution, That's why the people are now doing things for themselves. Just think of people wandering aim lessly up and down the dreary sand beaches at the seacoast resorts, when they might be really enjoying a sum mer outing In the huckleberry patches and along the trout streams of Uma tilla county's Blue mountains. Sum mer resorts, like prophets, have but little honor In their own country. The conservative democrats and the Associated Press may be able to ellm lnate Bryan's railroad ownership plank, but they will not be able to eliminate Bryan from the next presi dential campaign. And -if Roosevelt does not run, It 1b very probable that Bryan will be the next president. MEMORY OP SLEEPWALKERS. The memory of sleepwalkers Is oc casionally prodigious under the lnflu ence of the dominating Impulse that moves them. There la an Instance of a poor and Illiterate basketmaker, who was un able to read or write, yet In a state of sleep he would preach fluent ser mons, which were afterward recog- nlzed as having formed portions of discourses he was accustomed to hear In the parish church as a child more than 40 years before. Quite as strange a case of "uncon scious memory" Is referred to by Dr, Abercromble. A girl given to sleep walking was In the habit of lmltat Ing the violin with her lips, giving the preliminary tuning and scraping and flourishing with the utmost twenty. It puzzled the physician a good deal until he ascertained that when a child she lived In a room adjoining a fiddler, who often performed on his violin In her hearing. Pearson's Weekly.

THE WHITE BELL-MARE. Across the plains I Bee them sweep, Against the ebbing light. The pace they keep they still will keep At silent noon of night: A fleet foot rules the caravan, And sets the pace tor beast and man! The bell-mare takes tho dusty road, No rowel pricks her side; She knows no rein, she owns no goad, Save In her mettled pride. The steeds that follow need no scourge, Sc well they feel her vanward urge! For her. Is neither lash not check, She keeps the pace she will! single bell about her neck, Sounds sweet, when all Is still When all Is still, and night Is deep: nd they that ride, ride half asleep! She sets the pace that leader fleet The rest they but pursue. They have their fate from her swift feet. Yet fate o'errules her, too; For 'tis tho pace the pace the pace Controls her fleet and snowy grace! They vanish on the glimmering plain Beneath the western verge. And all our life Is like that train, That heeds a vanward urge; We deem we travel as we will- But 'tis the pace controls us still! Edith M. Thomas, In the August Everybody's. NCLE SAM GETTING TOO RICH. A surplus of $87,000,000 Is unwieldy and if the treasury's, receipts continue to grow as they grew last year, sound national policy will dictate a reduc tion of taxes. The fact that Imports re Increasing even more rapidly than exports, and the further fact that a larger share of Import duties Is col lected on materials needed for man ufacturing, suggest the conclusion that the Dlngley schedules have done their work In certain lines and need revis ion. The balance of taxation on Im ports could be shifted so as to read- Just burdens and encourage trade. We do not want to collect taxes Just for the sake of piling up money in the treasury, and the nation's inces sant growth and rapid changes in the conditions of Its trade and Industry make It desirable to overhaul our tariff and Internal tax systems at suitable Intervals.

A witness testified In a certain case that a person named Mary was pres ent when a particular conversation took place, and the question was asked: "What did Mary say?" Thlb was objected to, and after some dls cusslon the Judge ruled out the ques tion. An exception to this decision was Immediately taken, and on appeal the higher court reversed the verdict and ordered a new trial on the ground that the question should have been answered. At the second trial the Bam! in quiry was propounded and elicited the information that Mary said nothing! Putnam's Magazine. RICHER THAN ROCKEFELLER. For more than 30 years the name of Frederick Weyerhaeuser has been linked with the lumber industry In this country, and the man has even been classed by good authority tfs the leader of American lumbermen." Of late a new distinction has been put upon Mr. Weyerhaeuser that of being "the richest manln the world richer than Rockefeller." Mr. Weyerhaeuser himself asserts that he Is not rich, but "con pay his own expenses;" those who have watched his career from outside the pale of his partnerships declare that If he Is not already a billionaire he has good reason to look forward to something like that distinction.

Under the title. "Where Did You Get It, Gentlemen?" the author pre pares to Investigate the sources of some of our "swollen fortunes," be ginning In this number with an ac count of the rise of Thomas F. Ryan.

Main Street THE BATTLE OF LIFE. Did you tackle the trouble that came your way, With a resolute heart and cheer ful? Or hide your face from the light of day, With a craven soul and fearful? Oh, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble Is what you make It; And it Isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take It. You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face; It's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to He there that's disgrace! The harder you're thrown, why, the higher you bounce; Be proud of your blackened eye; It Isn't the fact that you're licked that counts; It's how did you fight and why. And though you be done to the death, what then? If you battled the best you could, If you played your part In the world of men, Why, the critic will call It good. Death cornea with a crawl or comes with a pounce, And whether he's slow or spry. It Isn't the fact that you're dead that counts. But only, how did you die. Edmund Vance Cook. . WHAT IS A LATTICE? What Is a lattice? That is the question which perplex ed more than 2000 boys and girls who took the examination for admission to the high schools In Philadelphia. The question was sprung on them In the language examination, and as yet most of them, are much In doubt about the answer. They have looked through diction aries, encyclopedias, architectural magazines and text-books on physiol ogy, but most of them haven't been able to decide yet whether a lattice Is part of the human anatomy, a board fence or a peek-a-boo waist. The question was down In the lan guage test In connection with the poem, "An Apostrophe to the Wind.' Several verses of the poem were quoted. In one of the verses the poet You Know That Nailed Shoe is not easy on- your foot. Nail a sole on a sewed shoe ruins the shoe. I have the machines to do the work and sevr on a sole better than hand work at only 85c a pair for Men's and 60c for Ladies shoes. It makes the shoe look like new. Try me once. A.

FRANK B. CLOPTON & CO. 112 E. Court, St.. Pendleton, Ore. Post Office Block referred to the wind as "The spirit which breathes through the lattice The question was, "What Is the meaning of the word 'lattice' in the poem?" When the examiners started In to mark the papers they didn't know whether they were marking for a physiology examination or a test In language. The trouble was all over the question, "What Is the meaning of lattice?" About one quarter of the answers put lattice down as a Byno nym for nose. Others declared that lattice in this case meant mouth. "By lattice is meant 'the net work of hairs In the nostrils," was the an swer of one bright boy. "Lattice Is the pores of the body," said another. The most novel explanation was given by a boy who wrote: "A lattice la a deKoltay waist. My sister has one. See diagram." And appended to the examination paper was a neat sketch of a peek-a- boo waist, made with a lattice effect, THE PADDED PAYKOLLS. "Railroad 'spotters' are not all en gaged In 'shadowing' conductors, says a magazine article. "Some men go out as tramps and count the ties as they slouch down the right of way, For the leprosy of graft spares neither roadmasts- nor superinten dent, and the company likes to make sure that It does not pay for more new ties than it uses. Other hobo spotters keep tab on construction work to guard against Btuffed pay rolls. More than one contractor has drawn pay for 300 men when he was only working 200.
