A WISER MIXD THAN OURS.
"If at times commingled with
life's wine.
We taste the wormwood and
rebel and shrink,
Be sure, a wiser hand than
yours or mine
Fours out the potion for our
Hps to drink.
And e'en as prudent parents dis-
allow
Too much of sweets to crsv-
Ins; babyhood.
So God, rerhaps. Is keeping
from us now
Life's sweetest things, because
It seemeth good."

WALL STREET BLUFF.
The financial situation In Wall
'street is well handled by the Philadel
phia North American as follows:
Wall street has been a slow pupil.
But at last It Is learning Us long
needed lesson that "You can't fool all
the people all the time."
The happenings of the last week
among the manipulators of chalk
marks would have caused a panic
and universal alarm, If not actual
commercial distress, throughout the
country a few years ago. Securities
haye been dumped overboard and
the biggest moneyed Interests have
offered the market no support. The
shrewdest observers think these men.
have led the "bear raid" by unloading
their own holdings, as they did last
March. In any case, they have ap
proved the "break" by sullen acqul
escence, If not by secret aid.
Standard Oil and Harrlman still
think they can stampede the Amerl
can people In senseless fear. The
game played and lost last March Is
being played and lost again. The
attempt to frighten the business men
of the country into opposition to fur
ther prosecution of perpetrators of
crimes of cunning Is being renewed
without avail. That is the whole
story of the present slump In stocks.
There have been brighter boom
clays thnn these, when money was
"easier," when public confidence In
securities had not been shattered by
exposures of Harrlmanlsm, when the
crops were bumper ones and invest
ors felt no need for economy and
conservatism. But the eyes of the
commercial community have been
opened too wide for them to be de
ceived Into thinking that the period
of natural contraction is due to past
times or future prosecutions of law
breakers. The shares of 60 different rail
roads are more than 20 per cent low
er In the stock exchange quotations
than they were on the corresponding
date last year. And we are asked to
believe that President Roosevelt and
Judge Landls have caused the change,
Consols In London are lower than
they have been since 1848. Are we to
have our credulity strained to the
point of believing that our federal
authorities have been ruining the Eng.
llsh?
Both countries, In fact, are sober
ing down after an era of Inflation
that amounted to a speculative de
bauch. But American men of busi
ness cannot be blinded to the fact
that safety lies In punishing and not
In perpetuating past rottenness.
The story of March Is being re
told more Impressively. Two "pan
ics" and so far no failures make up a
summary more absurd than terrify
ing. Some men have been hurt by
margin play. Many look ruefully at
the shares they hold and count their
losses without thinking that the divi
dend earning capacity the real
value of their stocks Is unchanged.
More far-sighted men are looking at
the activity In every line of trade
and manufacture; at the asurance of
better harvests than could have
been hoped 0 days ago; at the gen
eral Improvement In railroad earn
ings over the year's first quarter and
the erislng conditions In the banks
whl'h liquidation brings about and
naves the nerelty of calling loans.
The Itockefeller-Harrlman band
should cut a new pumpkin, buy a
new candle and wait for times to
grow dnrk. Up to this moment, the
American people simply refuse to be
frightened by Wall street's present
Jack-o'-lantern of disaster.
BE NEIGHBORLY IT PAYS.
Many business men fall to appreci
ate the fact that an up-to-date ac
quaintance with the people of the
smaller towns of the county and the
people of the farming districts of the
county who congregate at such gath
erings as Strawberry day and Peach
day und Watermelon day can be
made one of their most valuable as
sets. The business man who follows the
system practiced by the politician who
fully realizes the value of an up-to-date
Intimacy with his constituency,
meeting them In their own gather
ings and seeing for himself their pros
perity or otherwise, and finding out
where their hearts are, can lay It over
the business man who "rares" back
on hia dignity and waits for the far
mer and the village dweller to come
to him. And quite likely the afore
said business man depends upon a
sign on his awning and another on a
bridge, and perhaps a third on a fence
up Hog Holler, to let the people from
the country know that he exists at all.
Many a business man of fossilized
dignity scolds about the handshaking
"demagoguelcal" politician who never
falls to be seen and heard at the
picnics, feast-days and other social
gatherings such as Peach day, who
could vastly Increase his trade by ex
actly the same tactics. And there
would be nothing demagoguelcal
about it. It Is the plainest kind of
common sense friendliness, and would
pay the business man as much as It
can possibly "pay", the politician.
Hollering your head oft If the peo
ple do not come to the district fair
when you are never seen at the peo
ple's neighborhood affairs Is selfish,
and from a business standpoint Is ex
ceedingly shorts'ghted as well. And
the country people will be no more
benefited by a visit to the county seat
during gala week than you will be
mentaily and spiritually by visiting
the little towns' celebrations. ' There
are not a few Pendleton business men
who are provincial to the point of be
ing "backwards" for no other rea
son than that they do not visit the
small towns of Umatilla county often
enough to know what Is going on In
the big world around them.
It Is Impossible to say that It Is of
more value to any Pendleton business
man (aside from the business actual
ly transacted on a given date) to have
500 people from some outlying town
ship visit the district fair one day
than for that same business man to
visit the same 500 at a celebration
held In their home.
A TIMELY WARNING.
While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze
In the South Pacific three months
ago a flock of small birds about the
size, shape and color of paroquets,
settled In the rigging and passed an
hour or more resting. The second
mate was so anxious to find out the
species to which the visiting strangers
belonged that he tried to trap a spec
imen, but the birds were too shy to
be thus caught, and too spry to be
seized by the quick hands of the sail
ors. At the end of about an hour the
birds took the brig's course, and dis
appeared, but towards nightfall they
came back and passed the night In
the maintop. The next morning the
birds flew off again, and when they
returned at noon the sailors scatter
ed some food about the decks. By
this time the birds had become so
tame that they hopped about the
decks picking up the crumbs.
That afternoon an astonishing thing
happened. The flock came flying
swiftly toward the brig. Every bird
seemed to be piping as If pursued by
some little Invisible enemy on wings,
and they at once huddled close down
behind the deck house. The super
stitious sailors at once called the
captain of the brig, who rubbed his

THE WASHERWOMAN'S SONG.
In a very humble cot.
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and In the soap,
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone.
In a sort of undertone: .
"With the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end."
Sometimes happening along,
1 heard the semi-song.
And I often used to smile,
More In sympathy than guile;
But I never said a word
In regard to what I heard,
As she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not In sorrow nor In glee
Working all day long was she.
As her children, three or four.
Played around her on the floor,
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long:
"With the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end."
It's a song I do not sing,
For I scarce believe a thing
Of the stories that are told
Of the miracles of old;
But I know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as she could be;
But her spirits always rose,
I.Ike the bubbles In the clothes,
And. though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
Of a Savlur and a friend '
Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub,
On the washboard In the tub,
While the baby, sopped In suds.
Rolled and tumbled In the ddds;
Or was paddling In the pools.
With old scissors stuck In spools;
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root In human need?;
And I should not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's Hp
Any song that she can sing.
Any hope that songs can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.
Eugene F. Ware (Ironqulll.)
"PHILOSOPHY."
Don't fret If things go wrong today,
They'll nil come right tomorrow;
A time of joy, the wise men say,
Will follow every sorrow.
If you have failed, don't sit and
mourn.
Just go to work and hustle,
Success Is sure to come In time,
To active brain and musck.
The man who mopes and frets and
pines,
Will never be a winner,
He's In great luek If every day
He gets a decent dinner.
The sought-for secret of success
I'll tell vou, on the level,
Just hustle, hustle that's the way
To circumvent the devil.

THE MARVEL OF IDENTITY.
Seasons may come and go; Hope,
like a bird, may fly away; Passion
may break Its wings against the Iron
bars of Fate; Illusions may crumble
as the cloudy towers of sunset fame;
Faith, as running water, may slip
from beneath our feet; Solitude may
stretch Itself around us like the
measureless desert sand; Old Age
may creep as the gathering night over
our bowed heads, grown hoary In
their shame; but still, through all, we
are the same, for this Is the marvel of
Identity. Haggard.

Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe into
oursystem. The blood in its constant passage through the lungs absorbs the
genus, and they destroy the rich, red corpuscles of this vital fluid and reduce
it to such a weak, watery condition that it is unable to properly nourish the
system, and disease gets a foothold. Then the symptoms of Malaria, such
as pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion,
and perhaps chills and fever show that the trouble is affecting every part of
the body. Malaria also affects the liver, producing a chronic state of bilious
ness, and often a long spell of fever follows when the blood becomes fully
contaminated with the poison. Chronic Sores and Ulcers, boils, aches and
pains, and skin affections of various kinds often result from this insidious
disease if the poison is allowed to accumulate in the blood in sufficient quan
tities. Malaria must be temoved from the system through the circulation,
and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. This great remedy goes dewn
into the blood and drives out all germs, microbes and poisons, and perma
nently cures M alaria, S. S. S. not only cleanses the blood of the cause, but
furnishes it with the healthful properties it needs, so that instead of a weak,
germ-infected stream, spreading disease throughout the system, it becomes
a rich, red fluid, nourishing the body and enabling it to resist disease.
S. S. S. is also the greatest of all tonics, and builds up and invigorates the
entire system while ridding the blood of the germs of Malaria. Persons who
are suffering from Malaria will be pleased with the prompt and pleasant re
sults produced by the use of S. S. S., and can take it with confidence because
it is an absolutely safe medicine, being free from harmful minerals of any
kind. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired sent free to all

The story is told of a young Ore
gon girl, a favorite In soclty, but who
was poor and had to take care not to
get her evening gowns soiled, as her
number was limited. At a dance not
long ago a great, big, red-faced, per
spiring man came in and asked her
to dance. He wore no gloves. She
looked at the well-meaning but moist
hands despairingly, and thought of
the Immaculate back of her waist.
She hesitated a bit, and then said,
with a winning Bmlle.
"Of rourse I will dance with you,
but If you don't mind, won't you
please use your handkerchief?"
The man looked at her blankly a

of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares tne system tor the
comforts of this period.
