MAX'S IDEAL.
'Tis a yearning within, and a
calling,
Like a dumb. 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

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.

experience for the magnate anyway,
and it may completely melt him and

CURES ECZEMA,

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. Book on skin diseases and any medical advice

ONLY WOMAN PROFESSOR.
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.

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.
