To wake, to weep, to entertain
A thousanj fruitless fears;
To suffer worlds and worlds of
pain
While smiling through our
tear?;
To pa.s thrpugh scenes of storm
and strife,
To dread the coming dawn;
This cannot be the sum of life
Somewhere the soul lives on!

A VITAL NEED.
In the prospect of a gravity water
system for Pendleton there Is more
hope for the city than from any other
single blessing the future may have
In store. It means far more to the
place than Is realized by the average
man.
A city's water supply Is Its life
blood. What a healthy circulation Is
to an individual a proper supply of
water Is to a municipality. No town
can grow and prosper continuously
that lacks this, nature's first requi
site for life.
This being true, would the cost of
a gravity system, no matter how high,
be too great?
But in the case of Pendleton a
mountain water supply would be
more of an economy than an expense.
At present the city is paying $5000
annually five per cent interest on
1100,000 to maintain its present In
efficient pumping plant. In view of
this fact would an Investment in a
gravity system be extravagant?
LIFE'S DARKEST TRAGEDIES.
Not upon fields of war are wrought
the darkest of life's tragedies, accord
ing to an editorial in the Spokesman
Review. There is a far more poig
nant anguish than that suffered by
parents who lose a son In battle, for
their grief Is-soothed and softened by
the reflection that they have given
a sacrifice to their country and that
their boy gave up his young life In
splendid courage and devotion.
But what can assuage their grief
and melancholy when respectable pa
tents lose a son or daughter to vice or
crime? This is the darkest of all life's
tragedies, and the monstrous pity Is
that it Is repeated over and over again
In each generation and In each com
munity. Thf-se tragedies are all around us,
even in this fine young city of Spo
kane with all its noble environments
of good homes, schools and churches.
Two boys, two girls, enter life with
seeming equal opportunities. One
tomes to manhood's or womanhood's
estate equipped with good habits and
honorable attainments; but the other
falls into evil ways and "goes the
pace that kills."
What to do and how to do It to re
duce these ever-increasing tragedies
should be the chief problem of the
thoughtful elements of this commu
nity. TOWN SPIRIT.
Town patriotism in Pendleton Is
much like national patriotism. It is
always strong in times of danger, but
too often weak when the skies are
blue.
Pendleton people are as loyal
liearted as any In the world. They
are never "cold-footed" when called
upon to meet great responsibilities,
and are always ready to uphold the
town against a rival.
But there are too many who are
content with an occasional display
of local spirit and who feel that In
ordinary times there is nothing for
them to do. Valiant on certain occa
ions, they allow personal selfishness,
prejudice or indifference to keep
them from their duty the rest of the
time.
A good citizen la as ready and u
unselfish in working to build up his
town from within as he is to defend
it from outside attack. He does not
lot his selfish Interest deter him too
much from his duty to the town and
ho Is ever ready to fight for the com
mon good whether he be In the lead
or not.
Honest dairymen have nothing to
frar from the Cole-MeClure ordinance.
I: merely provides that they shall
quit milking their tubercular cows,
If they have any, and that they must
run clean dairies and provide their
patrons with real milk.
Why should the woolen mill be
moved to western Oregon? The wool
is here, not there. Would they bring
the salmon canneries to eastern Or
egon? Surely there Is some mistake.

Some grim stories are told of Lord

telegraphed to the commander-in-chief:
"Regret to report killing of twelve

"Do you want any more dynamite?"
English Women Influence Elections
The English suffragists, who had
already defeated thirteen of the gov
ernment candidates at successive by
electlons. have Just defeated a four
teenth. This latest achievement took
place at Pudsey, In Yorkshire, which
up to this time had been looked upon
as a stronghold of the liberal party.
The report says: "The most remark
able feature of the contest was the
uprising of the women themselves, es
pecially the married women. On
election day thousands stood outside
the pooling booths to urge the voters
to 'vote against the government,' and
they did."
Jewish Pulpit Occupied by a Woman
Mrs. Anna G. Abelson, wife of
Rabbi J. I. Abelson of Akron, Ohio,
surprised her husband's congregation
recently by appearing In the pulpit
to take the place of the rabbi, who?
had been called away on business
The Jewish Tribune says: "It was the
first time that a woman had taken the
place of her husband In leading a
Jewish service. The reports Indicate
that Mrs. Abelson created a favorable
Impression."
Shall the Methodists Ordain Women

Mrs. Phoebe Stone Beeman, wife

of this denomination, as weli as men.
She will Inaugurate a movement to

The Wind-Fall Tree: A Legend
of the Mountains
It is a part of the religion of ev
ery mountaineer never to use a
"wind-fall" tree for the erection of
a dwelling house.
Such a tree is never made into clap
boards, lumber, shingles or house
logs by a mountaineer who knows his
business. It may be used for fuel.
It may be split Into rails, or in an
emergency It may be rolled Into the
foundation of a stable but no part of
It Is ever used In any form In a dwell
ing house.
And there are abundant reasons
for this. These reasons have been
indelibly impressed upon every sac
rillgious mountain dweller who has
dared to violate this custom of the
old woodsmen.
Once in a deep forest In a wild
part of Oregon a haughty and disbe
lieving mountaineer dared to ridicule
this old custom, and he paid for his
disbelief a thousand fold.
A gigantic "wind-fall" pine lay full
length across a stretch of rich moun
tain meadow which he wished to cul
tivate, and he decided to use the fine
body of this giant for a dwelling
house.
He sawed it into convenient lengths
and hauled it to a sawmill, a day's
travel away, and had It cut into lum
ber. When the lumber was dry he
built a neat cottage on his new home
stead at the edge of a dense forest,
where an open dale offered a delight
ful site for a home.
The cottage was built near the root
of the great pine which had been
blown over in some fierce storm of
the mountains. So the lumber made
from the fallen giant came back to
the spot where it grew from incancy
and where It fell an unwilling vic
tim to the tornado which struck the
forest.
....
When the cottage was completed
the family of the woodsman came to
live in it. They were proud of their
beautiful new home. The wife and
children loved it, and the old toller
of the mountains looked with satis
fied pride upon his handiwork.
The summer passed and autumn
came. The season of cloudy weather
and early storms settled down upon
the mountains. The mountaineer
prided himself upon having prepared
such a comfortable and attractive
home for his loved ones . It was the
only lumber house on the entire
mountain.
One evening when the evening was
threatening the family was seated
about the broad fireplace, where
cracked the seasoned wood. It was
the first cool night of the fall, and
the fire In the new fireplace seemed
especially cheery.
Outside the forest was gently stay
ing, and the great trees were whis
pering to each other of the approach
ing clouds.
As night advanced strange moan
ing noises broke the silence of the
mountains and drowned the low whis
pering of the trees. At times the
moan would burst Into a shriek, and
the noise of a tornado sweeping down
a forest could be heard.
The mountaineer rushed out to see
If really such a fierce storm was ap
proaching. Outside all was quiet. The forest
trees whispered listlessly. A gentle
wind blew against the face of the
mountaineer and the fleecy clouds
overhead were low and heavy, but not
threatening.
Wonderlngly he returned to his
place before the fire. But he was
scarcely seated when the very house
8eemed t0 cry and groan pitifully. All
the noses of forest ,n
broke
ftne 9ence of tne ni(fht- Tne
sound
great trees crashing and falling
against each other with shrieks and
supplications for mercy filled the
house. The startled family thought
the entire forest was falling about
the house and feared thai the entire
cottage would be crushed to the
earth.
Again the mountaineer opened the
door to witness the havoc of the
Btorm, and the wife and children
dared to peer into the gathering night

to see the desolation and ruin which
seemed to be falling about the home
But still the gentle wind blew
against his face, the trees whispered
ominously and the light clouds sail
ed dow nthe isky. There was no storm
outside.
Startled by the strange phenome
non, the mountaineer hurriedly clos
ed the door and gazed fn consterna
tion at his frightened wife. But theii
amazement was soon interrupted by
a louder crashing and groaning which
filled the house, and finally the ell
max of the awful agony came when
with a roar and shriek It seemed
thut the greatest tree in the forest
fell thundering to ground, the entire
mountain side trembling with its
fall, echoed Its agonized cries.
Then tho noises were hushed. A
subdued silence, like that following a
storm, ensued. Again the door was
opened and the frightened family
peered into the darkness. Still there
was no commotion outside. The fresh
wind swayed the branches of the
pines and sighed softly about the cot
tage. But aside from Its sighing not
a sound stirred In the brooding silence
of the night.
The door was closed and the family
returned to its fitful rest. The noises
ceased, the night settled down and
peace came at last. The quiet that
Is characteristic of a great, sleeping
forest reigned.
Next day the oldest and most re
nowned woodsman of the mountain
passed and stopped to chat with the
family. He knew everything about
the mountain Its voices, legends,
logends, love all were his.
The strange experience of the pre
ceding night was related to the moun
taineer. ,
Pointing his finger at the father
of the frightened little family which
had passed the fearful night In the
cottage, he said:
"You have disobeyed the law of
.the mountain. You have dlsplsed the
legend of your fathers. You have de
fled a custom older than I, and you
will pay the penalty. You have built
your house from a 'wind-fall' tree."
And then the story of the building
of the house was told to the old pat
riarch of the mountains. The moun
taineer told of coming to the beau
tiful glade In the mountain, of find
ing the 'great giant uprooted, of haul
ing it away to the sawmill and of
the building of the cottage from Its
lumber.
"It was the spirit of the wind
fall,' tree crying out In its agony,"
said the old man. "As long as this
house stands that fearful scene will
be re-enacted before every storm on
the mountains. The boards made from
the 'wind-fall' tree have found voices
and will repeat the tragedy of the fall
of the great tree before the tornado,
whenever the skies are overcast and
a storm-threatens."
Then the old man told of the leg
end which had been despised by the
mountaineer.
The trees of the forest are proud
of their strength. They boast of their
great overhanging branches and of
their roots clinging firmly to the clay
of the mountain. They fear the tor
nado, and when assailed fiercely by
It they cry for mercy and groan In
futile rage.
As the tornado waxes fiercer and
fiercer the trees cry more loudly and
shriek out their curses and pleading.
As they are bent and cracked by the
angry wind they become furious in
their appeals, and the mountain re
sounds with their awful agony.
And finally the death struggle and
fall of the giant tree Is terrible to
hear and behold. With a roar that
echoes for miles It crashes to the
ground, and Its fall Is like a peal
of thunder. Every limb and branch
creaks and groans in agony and then
slJence follows; the struggle Is over;

the ' monarch lies full length upon
the ground, a wreck and a ruin.
But the spirit of the fallen giant
never dies. As long as there Is a
limb or branch of the fallen tree re
maining, It repeats the tragedy of
Its fall at every approaching storm.
And that is what the family of
the mountaineer heard In the cottage
made from the 'wind-fall tree.

Tho Market.
(Edmund Vance Cooke, In Success
Magazine.)
Ferguson watches the ticker
And eagerly scans the slip,
The creature of bargain and dicker
Whose gods are "Cotton" and "Ship."
And it troubles him so
When "Lead" sinks low;
And It grieves his eye
When "Gas" goes high;
For the ticker to him is a juggernaut
wheel
To crush him or carry, for woo or
weal.
You and I look at the ticker
As the Innings come one by one,
But with hardly an eyelid's flicker,
Though the club be doing or done.
We may feel our thanks
For the visitor's blanks;
We may smile the more
If the home club score.
But the ticker to us is a loom which
spins.
And we're glad of Its yarn, no matter
who wins.
Mrs. Booth on tl Ballot
The woman suffrage cause has a
valuable advocate In Mrs. Maud Bal-
llngton Booth, who was the chief
speaker at the annual meeting of the
New England Woman Suffrage as
sociation. She said: "I believe em
phatically that a woman's place is
home; but where Is her home? Mine
Is all the way from Boston to San
Francisco and from Canada to the
Gulf. The question is not what a
woman should be allowed to do, but
can she do It properly? In this re
form home Is the very watchword,
for all the interests of the home and
all the evils that affect the home
are largely dependent upon politics.
Women not only should hare the pow
er to deal with these, but they could
wield It effectively."
"What would you do if you were a
multi-mlltlonaire?" asked the serious
man.
"Oh," answered the flippant friend,
"I suppose I would get to yearning
for a few kind words, and endow col
leges tike the test of them." Wash
