YACCINATIOX IN CAMBODIA.
Vacation has succeeded the devil
dancing medicine man In Cambodia,
says an exchange. The plague has
proved mightier than the Buddhistic
belief in fate and custom for turning
the Khmer mind to modern ways and
means. We read that King SIsswath,
in the fervor of his conversion, offer
ed both legs and arms to the sur
geon's quill and was persuaded with
difficulty that Inoculation . in one
place was sufficient.
The account of this matter sug
gests a comic opera theme. Yet in
the plague is no spirit of burlesque;
and Cambodia was rewarded once as
a seat of learning, civilization and
wealth. It had an architecture which
eventually furnished ruins that to
day's archaeologists study with re
spect. Phutamma Survivong was a
king of the fifth century, and at
about that time the Chinese had a
saying. "Rich as Chinla," based on
the prosperity of Cambodia.
The glory passed long ago from this
ancient Asiatic monarchy. With it
were lost territory and prescience.
The present king, when he wishes to
indulge In particular acts of state,
must say "If you please" to the
French. However, Sisawath was per
mitted to accept vaccination of his
own accord and after his son and one
of his son's wives had stubbornly re
sisted the quill and died.
Vaccination !s therefore now the
rage In the Cambodian court. It has
acquired the dignity of a royal func
tion. The king Is sore, the ministers
are sore and the household of the
palace Is sore. But the plague is
stared. Pathologic advance has
waited upon the degenerate days of a
dynasty.
their civilizations upon desert plat
eaus. The history of the Jews Is a
history of a desert folk. It was with
in the encircling walls of the desert
that they evolved their national and
their religious consciousness. Out of
the desert sprang all these things as
the water gushed from the rock at
the blow of Moses.
The desert Is most fertile because

JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.
The New York Herald last week
again showed remarkable enterprise
In sending news from home to the
American battleship fleet In the Aus
tralian seas while steaming south
from Sydney on the way to Mel
bourne, says the Fourth Estate. The
warships when more than half way
around the world and about 40 de
grees south of the equator received a
budget of news sent by the Herald
on board Rear Admiral Sperry's flag
ship and thence distributed by wire
less throughout the fleet.
The news was flashed across the
i continent by land wires, traversing
the South Pacific by cable from Is
land to Island until Sydney, New
South Wales, was reached, nnd thence
by wireless to the ships more thun
a hundred miles at sea.
Only those who have been far away
from home, thousands of miles from
their dear ones, plowing the ocean
and dally getting further from the
land of their birth, can appreciate
the feelings with which our sailors
received the Herald's news, which
must have made them feel that after
all they were not so far away from
"God's country."

FIFTY YEARS OLD.
This winter the state of Oregon
will be 50 years old and It has been
suggested by the Oregon Daily Jour
nal that some kind of a semi-centennial
celebration be held.
Oregon was admitted to the union
as a state on February 14. 1S59, says
the Journal, hence on that day next
yf-ar, 1909, will occur the fiftieth an
niversary or semi-centennial of the
birth of Oregon as one of the states
of the grrat American union. The
population of Or.gon the next year,
IftCO. was 52.485, having increased
from 12 251 in 1S50. These num
bers include only whie population.
lien d 'I in ii men
had about 50,100 white people. Its
growth has been slow, but Is has
grown some, enough to celebrate.
Most if not all states that have
pa?ed the semi-centennial mark have
celebrated the event, studied and re
counted their development, rejoiced
In their progress and portrayed the
vlrtori"s of the future. Why should
not Oregon follow this example? The
time is short, only five months, but
it is sufficient to prepare gome sort
of a celebration for the fiftieth an-niv'-isary
of this splendid state.
The Journal has seen no mention
mad., of this matter yet. and so
brings forward the suggestion. The
anniversary will come at a time of
year when nothing else In particular
Is doing, and when people of all sorts
can take a little time for this affair,
Would It not be well for the com.

and make the necessary Initial movements?
The department of agriculture In
the course of comment on the new
wheat which Is said to yield 100 to
200 bushels to the acre, reminds the
farmers of government work which
promises better than this doubtful
'.;re.
Results at the University of Min
nesota experiment station show that
there may be a very large gain real-
ized by methods of cultivation learn-j
ed by experiment. In Minnesota j
where the farmers have followed the I
government work, the yield last year
netted some $2,000,000 more than j
normal, the gain being due to greater j
production under the new Ideas.
The agricultural department is do-j
ing a most beneficial work. It Is not!
political or legal, but purely econom
ic In its purpose and activities. In
the reports sent out the farmer can
be sure of getting perfectly correct
information and hints for improving
his methods which probably cannot
lie surpassed for practical value by
any university In the world. The de
partment Is In fact a great agricul
tural university and It Is proving Its
worth every day In the year.
When you start out to show a man
the error of his way you would better
begin by taking a course In boxing.
Some people always seem Just nat
urally suspicious, but that may be
partly your fault.

MY CREED.
Clod
I think that many a soul has
within,
Yet knows no church, nor creed, no
word of prayer.
No law of life save that which
seems most fair
And true and Just, and helpful to Its
kin
And kind; and holds that act alone as
sin
- That lays upon another soul Its
share
Of human pain, of sorrow, or of
care.
Or plants a doubt where faith has
ever been
In every other heart It meets, the
way
Has found to make Its own condition
blessed
To love Cod Is to strive through!
life's short day
To comfort grief, to give the weary
rest,
To hope and love that, surely. Is
to pray.

THE MAN WHO WIN'S.
The fellow who can whistle when tne
world is going wrong
Is the fellow who will make the
most of life;
No matter what may happen you will
find him brave and strong
He's the fellow who will conquer
In the strife.
The fellow Wno can whistle when the
whole world seems to frown
Is the kind of man to stand the bat
tle's brunt;
He's got the proper mettlo and you
can not keep him down.
For he's the sort that's needed at
the front.
The fellow who can whistle Is the fel
low who can work,
With a note of cheer to vanquish
. plodding care.
His soul Is filled with music and no
evil shadows lurk.
In his active brain to foster grim
despair.
The easiest way not to settle a dis
pute' Is to go to law about It.

THE FERTILE DESERT.
The desert Is the most fertile area
In the 1'nited States, says Walter E.
Wr-izr-l In Success Magazine. That
sounds like a paradox, yet it Is true.
where did the great civilizations of
antlouity arise? Where but In the'
fertile deserts? Egypt, Syria. Pales.
tine, Persia, Arabia, Northern India,
tho north coaBt of Africa, were all
arid lands. The Irtcas in I'eru, tne Every man ought to be the ole pro.
Tolteca and Aztecs in Mexico, reared prietor of the shoea he wears.
A CAMPAKiX IDYL.
(About 10 years after Kipling.)
A fool there was and he sought a Job.
Even as you and I.
His rashness would make the angels
sob.
We called him a few things, but
never a snob,
Even as you and I.
Oh, the pledges he got, and the lies
he got,
Even as you and I.
Sometimes he was cold, and some
times he was hot;
At times ho was certain; at times lie
was not;
And now we know he was always
"not" v
Even as you and I.
Oh, the babes he kissed and the babes
he kissed '
' Even as you and I.
And the votes that he counted upon,
but missed
Ere time for the balloting made him
desist.
He surely was Jolly well glad to desist-Even
as you and I.
Then the words he spake and the
drought he brake
Even as youand I.
And the cure that lie took for the bite
of the snake.
And the thirst he attempted In vain
to slake
We'd known all the time what a fail
ure he'd make
Even as you and I.
