Inarticulate cry; 'T.i a something as frail as a phantom, Tet no peril can cause it to fly; 'T.s a breath that aye falters and wavers. Still it buoys his .heart and his soul; "Tis a voice that Is less than a whisper, But It drives him on to the goal; 'Tis a mentor and guide so, com ' pelling Thru the weakest refuses to die 'Till the vers last heart-throb he's given -In the struggle to climb to the sky! Sarah E. Sprague. be legally separated from him and secure a portion of his wealth. But If she Is not his wife, although the cur has lived with her and rec ognlzed her as such for. a term of 14 years, during which time he has In troduced hor to his friends ns his wife, then he deserves double censure for attempting to east her off. He should bo man enough to continue to share the double yoke of odium and disgrace. Now that the bloom has faded from her cheek, the rich dog would' turn his back upon the girl who surren dered herself to his beastly bargain, What could a second wife expect from 'such a brute? What sort of a "home" would It be with such a man "reigning" over It? In either case It Is a disgraceful, rotten affair. If Stevens lias "lived" with wife No. 1 for 16 years without being married to her, Portland's "society" should demand that he be married to her now, as n mere mockery after such a debauch. Bigamy Is too mild a charge to ap ply to him. But after all, his great wealth will obscure much of the glaring disgrace of his acts In the eyes of a lot of people. 1LEAKST. Hearst's entrance Into the political arena with his Independence league, remalnds one of the hooray of a bunch of clowns rushing pellmell In to the main circus tent, during a lull in the performance. With raucus noises, nondescript make-ups, limping, band.iged, scan tily clad and wearing ogre patches, this harlequin party enters the race ar.d for an instant all eyes are turn ed upon It. There in the Hearst array are the long !ady on stilts, the darkey barber with three-foot razor and bucket of lather, the donkey and Its rider, the "cat-pie" artist and his stomach pump, the fake automobile blowing up in mock disaster while the grotes qut- V-j';uffeur Is adjusting the ma chine anl all the rag tag and bob tail tatterdemalion remnants of the clown world, in seven-hued garments, ill-fitting, inside out, patched, ripped, discolored, all In one motley host! And at the lead stalks the mock general. Hearst, carrying a broken sword, wearing a single spur and an suming a Faistaffian air at the head of his nondescript "army." For an instant the rabble pauses to laugh at the ogre herd, to listen to the rumpus, think of ' humorous make-up and recall the days of boy hood when the spectacle was the greater part of the show. But when the performance begins and the real actors climb fnto the trapeze for work, this motley clown army is lost sight of and when it disappears out of the side opening, nobody misses It and the great per. formance goes merrily on. Such will be the flamboyant proces sion of Hearst and his "party" through the circus performance of American politics. ' AX UNCOMMON SCHUB. T. M. .Stevens, a rich exporter of Portland, reputed to be worth almost half a million, Is In a lot of trouble with Ills wives. He has recently cast off one wife to take another and it he gets his just deserts from all the facts In the case, he will conduct his exporting business for a long term of years from behind the bars of the state penitentiary. Stevens was recently married in ChehallB to a Miss Monk, and this wedding ceremony "stirred up a hor net's nest" In Portland, where his first wife lives. Stevens' brother, attorneys and friends, all declare that tie wag not married to his first wife, but that he Imply "lived" with her, Introduced her to society, recognized her and treated her as a wife. She was a near-wife, only. If this is the case, all the more shame for Stevens. If he entered In. to such a disgraceful bargain with i young woman, and after tiring of her geeks to cast her off, lie is not a common scrub, but an uncommon one. If she was his wife she could Y1LT TO HO WITH XEAH liEEIt. Since the alleged temperance drink, near beer, has proved to be an In toxicant and will cause serious harm among the b,oys and young men be cause the boys have access to the places where It Is sold, the Question now arises: What ore we to do with rear beer? In Brownvllle the city council re fused to license It or to permit It to be sold in the town on account of tha menace which Its sale Is to young boys. In Enterprise, Wallowa coun ty, the city council Imposed a license of $400 per year upon Its sale and In other Oregon towns Its sale Is causing discussion and agitation. Since prohibition has been In force n Pendleton the near beer curse has been demonstrated. It is so near beer that it will make an Indian crazy drunk. Enough of It will make even the toughest old "soak" wabble, A couple of glasses of It will make a young boy act foolishly and It Is a menace that must be fearlessly mPt by the city council. Because U is not regarded as an intoxicant bv the law, there is no re striction on Its sale. Anybody with the price can buy it. Boys have learned from the former saloon men that it will make them drunk and many of them think It manly and "smart" to appear drunk from drink. Ing It and so parents are urged to consider, Its sale. If' young boys are debauched and ruined by its use it Is no less a curse than the intoxicant of the saloon and must be dealt with accordingly. If the brewers are making an Intoxicant under the guise of a temperance drink, they will be severely dealt with by grand Juries. And if the former saloon men are selling It to children to "get even, as Is declared, then Its sale must be stopped and it manufar-ture be placed under the ban. The people have voted for prohi bition. They want no mock-prohibition. They will have no semi-booze, no Illusory beer, no make-believe temperance. They want the real thing In temperance and are going to have It. al drunkards go there to spend their money for liquor. That is a sort of trade of which the Garden City cannot afford to boast much. . Pendleton does not cater to this class of trade any more. Sho Invites the man with the family to educate, the retire farmer who is seeking a live, busy, progressive yet moml town In which to live and spend his money. And she Is getting many of these Vttor classes of people as a result of her Improved moral atmosphere. tt anybody can get the f.icts from E. H. Harrlman, Governor Chamber lain of Oregon can do It. The gov ernor Is simply Irresistible. Harrl man has been "up against" knotty problems In his railroad wars, but he has never encountered the Chamber lain smile before. It will bo a new experience for the magnate anyway, and it may completely melt him and make him tell what Is In store for Oregon. CURES ECZEMA, ACME,TE"iTER ETC 1 Krzema. Acne. Tetter, pimples, rashes, eruptions, etc., show that some unhealthy humor or nc Impurity is diseasing and corruptinff the circulation, so that insteaa i supplying nourishment and strength to the fine, ilolirat, tissues of the skin, it is continually pouring out its acrid and unhealthy accumulations. Internal applications of salves, washes, lotions, it.-., may relieve Mine pi the itching and other discomfort caused hy skin troubles, and for this reason should be used, but such treatment cannot reach the humor-laden blood, and therefore cannot cure. A thorough cleansiii;,' of the Mood is the only cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a purely vegtt.il.Ie puparation, is t ie best and quickest remedy. It goes down into the circulation and neutralizes and removes the acids, impurities and humors, thoroughly purifies the circulation and permanently cures skin diseases of ivcry kind. When S. S. S. has driven the humors and impurities from the Wood, and cooled and cleansed the acid-heated circulation, every symptom passes away, the skin is again nourished with rich, healthful Mood and the trouble cured, as the cause has been removed.

For the first time In the history of Russia a woman holds the position of university professor. This Is Dr. Douchakova, a graduate of Zurich and an expert in pathology. She suc cessfully defined a thesis before be ing admitted to the faculty of the University of Moscow. The students will greet her with an ovation at her opening lecture. Her appointment Is all the more extraordinary because Moscow university admits no women students. CHIXF.SE WO.MKX. At a meeting in Xew York recent ly Minister Wu said of the Chinese women: Our Chinese women do not get as much outdoor sunshine as you do. China Is reforming now, It is true, but until recently Chinese wo men were kept indoors, not by force, but by custom. Xow they begin to get out, but not with your spirit and independence. They live an Indoor life, and so they are pale and very thin, or else stout and very fat from lack of exercise. . The color of lightning flashes vary from white to blue. Red la the com monest In forked lightning, with blu closely following, and orange and green less frequent. White Is seen oftenest in sheet lightning, red and yellow coming next. Hail usually comes in a thunderstorm with blue lightning. A WORLD-LANGUAGE. Th,e United States government, in sending a representative to the fojjrth international Esperanto congress to be held next week In Dresden, has officially recognized the new lan guage. Esperanto seems to be taking hold a little better than former made-to-order languages, but it is difficult to imagine Its permanent success. It is well-advertised, but when it ceases to be a novelty, it will cease to attract The Esperantlsts Insist that their language ha3 taken a firm root throughout the world and will suc ceed. In proof, they cite the 753 Es peranto societies in existence, and the 65 periodicals given over to the movement. But people with long memories re call Volapuk, which 20 years ago had two and a half million students, 300 societies and 23 Journals, a great many for those days; but Volapuk vanished almost In a day after the In ternational congress of 1889 in Paris. Discriminating linguists say that Esperanto is easy to learn to read, but extremely hard to learn to speak on account of the frequent recurrence of difficult sounds. It Is by no means a simple lan guage, although to attain simplicity should be one of the main objects of an international language. Esperanto will go the way of dozens of other world-languages. A lazy man makes a strenuous ef fort to see how little he can accomplish. THE FATE OF REFORM. The municipal street cars In Cleve land hav not paid for the first two months, whereat there is great re joicing throughout the house of Plunder, for these fool Cleveland people hope to keep a 3-cent fare. However, no big contract pays at the start. The contractors of the north bank road lost hundreds of thousands at the start. Tom Johnson has lost sfnne skirmishes but no wars, and this municipal street car sheme Is his fight. He will yet come out ahead of the game, wherein the prayers of the feeders of nickels to various and many local transportation octopuses are with the Jolly Tom for are they not anxious to feed their pets less? A large system of electric signals has Just been completed along the line of the Caledonlnn railway, Glas gow, which Is the first installation of Its kind in Scotland. A Chicago church has Installed electric footlights on the floor at each corner of the pulpit, to obviate objections of tho patr to the light falling on him from above.
