In the faint flush upon the tell tale cheek, And In the pallor that succeeds It; by The quivering lid of an averted eye The smile that proves the pa rent to a sigh. Thus doth Love speak. How does Love speak? By the uneven heart-throbs, and the freak Of bounding 'pulses that stand still and ache While new emotions, like strange barges, make Along vein channels their dis turbing course; Still as the dawn, and with the dawn's swift, force. Thus doth Love speak. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. TIIIXK OF IT. HOYS. One. day this week an aged called at the office of the East Ore gonian and' asked that a letter ask ing for work be written' for him. He is a tradesman and has been fairly Industrious, perhaps, but emi nently unsuccessful in his calling and In the dictated letter he told a friend t.: whom he applied for work that he was old and broke and In need and must have work. When the letter was finished he touched the tip of the penholder for his "mark," as he could not write his name. Think of this condition, boys, while you are idling 'your time away out of school. Think of the hundreds of thousand of dollars expended by Or egon every ar for free education, for free schools, fur libraries and other educational Institutions. Can you afford to be out of school? Can you afford to invite the terrible handicap of this poor old m:in, just mentioned? In this enlightened age a man without an education of some sort or degree Is a hopeless failure. Don't miss a month from school when It is possible for you to attend. Begin right now to' plan for a thor ough education. Tou are never too old. Men and women past 40 are seen in almost every business college lr. the country, brightc-iiing up their education, learning something, quali fying themselves for some profession. Think of not being able to cope with the world which Is jostling around you. Think of going through life with but 'half a mind, half a head, half finished. Tou are endow ed with brain and Intuition and am bition and unless you are well equip ped, you only half live! Pendleton Invites you to some One of her excellent schools. The door Is open. The opportunity is at hand. It 1 syour infinite loss If you neglect It. LOXGS IX)U FREEDOM. Norway Is dissatisfied with her gov ernment, and from reports the king dom wishes a form of republicanism such as we enjoy In this country. The young monarch at present reigning is neither very popular nor very offensive. But his countrymen think Norway would be better ruled, better taxed and better disciplined If they had a president Instead of king. President Fallleres of France, Is to visit Norway in a few days. Plain and earnest man that that he Is, be lieving in the universal freedom, there Isn't any doubt that when he leaves Christiania there will be left behind him even more dissatisfaction than now exists. Norway,, (o be sure, has never had much Internal trouble. Her people are not warlike. They believe In sim plicity, honesty and education. Since the establishment of a compulsory education law the kingdom hag ad vanced rapidly In the sciences. Their ambition is gerat, they want u government like that of the United States, and some of these days, wlth- out Mood or the use of a sword, we think it will come. Hankon VII, who 'married Princess Maud, rules not un kindly, but still ho Is a king, and monarch ure fast jusslnj Into un popular history. JAPAN'S Xi:V F.XPF.R1M I'.NT. The San Vi.'-.u if co I.xamlncr says of Japan's exi'W imcnt In the tovi ru men t owners. of railroads: After 23 years of experience Japan has determined to extinguish private ownership of railroads In the empire and to have all lines owned and oper ated by the government. The "Financial and Economic An nual of Japan for 1908," which has just been issued by the Japanese de partment of finance, includes some statistics on the results of govern ment ownership that may have some Instruction for other nations. The railroad, history of Japan be an In 1ST4 with the building of a few small lines by the government. Ten years later private construction began and for many years outstrip ped government construction. During the war with Russia, however, the government took over some of the private lines for military purposes, so that at the end of the fiscal year 1907, the state owned 2149 miles of road, while the private corporations owned 2932 miles. In the fiscal year 190? the state roads earned 35,478.317 yen (the yen being worth nearly BO cents), while the private roads earned 43,192,589 ytn. The expenses or tne slate roaas were 18.247.601 yen; of the private roads. 22.025.96 yen. The objection argued by opponents of government ownership, that It ci sts more to run a government en terprise than a private enterprise, ap pears to be borne out by the figures of Japanese experience, though the difference is not so great as might be expected. The expense of the pri vate roads for 1906-7 took 51.1 per cent of the receipts: those of the state nvin(rnads took 51.4 per cent. Now the government has arranged to buy 2 1 2 out of the 2932 miles of roads In private ownership by 1915, at a cost of about $114.500.0000. Be sides these roads the Japanese gov ernment Is buying the Korean rail ways. The financial report says: "The working of the railways since the nationalization has given satisfactory results. The railway profits have increased beyond expectation. According to theestlmates formed when the nationalization scheme was first considered, It was anticipated that during the first two fiscal years the profit from the nationalized rail ways would be insufficient to meet the debts Incurred on account of pur chase; but In the financial year 1906 7 the actual profit was 18.6S7.452 yen, against the estimated amount of 15, 4S1.547 yen: and In the year 1907-8 also it Is believed that the actual re ceipts will exceed the estimated amount, which is 31.312.SS0 yen, so that the profit from the purchase! railways will be more than sufficient to pay the Interest." The Japanese government Is a pretty shrewd business corporation Itself; and even though it is wasting a good deal of the people's money on building warships anil other unpro ductive expenditures. It does not hesi tate to spend money on enterprises that further the commerce of the na tion. TO PISH RACK THE VEIL. Jessie M. Smiley, a young woman of Chicago, who has just Inherited a fortune of $20,000,000, declares that she will devote the greater part of her fortune to the Investigation of the occult sciences. She recognizes the growing ten dency of mankind to long for and study the Invisible world, the spiritu al and occult shadows which surround us, and she will employ her fortune In attempting to push back the Inter vening veil between the seen and the unseen. That there Is something within reach of the human mind, something understandable, something tangible, something practical In the unseen realm lying Just outside our con sciousness, Is believed by every think er today, and the investigation of this realm Is now out of the experimental and superstitious stage and is on a level with other scientific Investiga tions. Religious prejudice is softening to ward the occult sciences for nothing would strengthen true religion more than a closer knowledge of God and nature, which these investigations promise. Traveling men are changing their front about Pendleton. Since they see that the town is still on the map In spite of prohibition, they give us another year in which to die. Their first guess wai that mortification had already started. MUDS AID FA11MERS. "It pays the farmer to protect birds," says Biologist Henshaw, writ ing In the new yearbook of the de partment of agriculture. "Only the thoughtless and Ignor ant," he declares, "still hold that the graceful forms and beautiful plumage of these masterpieces of nature serve i heir highest purpose when worn on a hat for a brief season, to be tin n east aside and forgotten, the phimai: dimmed and faded, the beautiful song" quenched forever." Dr. Henshaw, however, doesn't class every bird as a friend of man's. Indeed. He admits that few birds are wholly beneficial but yet he says there are very few among the harm ful ones that haven't nt least one re deeming trait. .He sums up the situa tion epigrammatleally: "Most birds most of I lie lime are beneficial; a few birds most of the time are In jurious." According to Dr. Henshaw, birds form a very efficient police force for the air and ground. Thrushes, spar rows, larks and wrens, he says .search the surface of the earth for Insects ers, ets.. with their warblers, creep ers, etc., with thcor microscopic eyes, scan every part of the tree or shrub, and few hidden creatures escape them. Woodpeckers, not content with carefully scrutinizing the bark and limbs of trees, dig into decayed and worm-eaten wood and drag forth the burrowing larvae; the flycatchers aided by the warblers are ever alert to snap up Insects when flying among trees and branches! while swallows and night hawks skim over the pas tures and patrol the air high above the tree tops for such of the enemy as have escaped pursuit below. Thus each family plays Its part In the never ending warfare, and the num ber of Insects annually consumed by the combined hosts Is simply Incal culable. , Dr. Henshaw tells of the balance of nature that Is necessary to preserve conditions; a maximum of birds to keep the Insects to the minimum. Whenever that maximum of birds is destroyed, then the Insects multiply, and one of the so-called "plagues" results. And about the only remedy there Is for these Is the Importation of more birds to kill off the bugs. However, he stops his glowing tribute to the feathered tribe long enough to give the English sparrow a dig. "This bird." he says, ' has bad hab its far outweighing any possible good that It does, even If the most liberal estimate be made of the comparative ly small number of Insects trmt it de stroys or the weed -seed It eats." roon AM'LTEit.vnox. The microscope In the hands of the expert food chemist is n powerful detector of food adulteration. In an article on the use of this In- ' strument. In the new Yearbook of the ! department of agriculture, one par- i tlcular case Is cited where n sample of adulterated celery seed showed. under the lens, that It was composed : of 40 ner cent of powdered rock. An investigator nt the bureau of chemistry found, by use of the mi croscope a large percentage of ground olive stones In "pure" pepper. A chocolate coating preparation was found when sufficiently magnified, to contain cocoa shells, cornstarch, beef tallow and some mineral matter, probably used for coloring. Some manufacturers used gum traatantli to assist lit "Jellying" pre serves. An adulteration of this kind Is easily detected by use of the mi croscope. In a great many cases, the article states, adulteration which Is easily discovered through the microscope, would otherwise require an extended chemical analysis to determine the component parts. For tills reason the microscope has been added to the food testing laboratories of the bureau of chemistry. , The source of nearly all the evil and unhapplnesH of this world Is selfish ness. We know It, but we still keep on being selfish. We see that the world might be made Ideally beauti ful if only all people would live unsel fish lives; and yet we keep on being selfish. Minot J.

A forestry service bulletin says: The office of public roads of the department of agriculture Is to co operate with the forest service In drawing up plans for comprehensive system of roads and trails on na tional forests. For the last two years congress has provided funds for permanent Im provement on national forests, and a large part of the money thus made available has been and Is being used for road and trail building. The amount Is too small, however, In com parison with the total area of the for ests, to make possible more than a very small, beginning. With thicker settlement and Increasing use of the forests, good roads will become more and more a crying necessity. The object of securing the help of the office of good roads Is to make the work take the line that will not merely serve temporary conveniences, but also count for most In the end. I!y building each year with reference to a carefully worked out plan the danger of undirected effort will be escaped. During the present summer an en gineer of the office of roads will go over the ground on several of the The Reciprocating Churn This churn rocks back and forth, with every revolution of the crank, the dasher working In and out ver tically at the same time.

Where the roads planned for cannot bo built, trails will, so far as possible, be made to follow the courses laid out,- with the expectation that later they will be converted Into roads. The roads, trails, telephone lines and firo lines already constructed on national forests, are proving of great value both In the work of flro pro. tectlon and In serving the conven ience of the public. The further this work can bo carried the greater will be the usefulness of the forests to the surrounding regions. "Now, be careful, Mr. Glbblns! You were, I believe, nn old friend of the prisoner's.
