a smiling woni.n.
oft
There's something I have
observed,
AnJ pondered this long while;
and that is the persistency
Which the people smile.
They say that man was made
to mourn.
AnJ life is full of woe.
Still smiling eyes are turned on
me
Whichever way I go.
I've marked the preacher in
his church.
The merchant in his store.
The banker in his counting
room,
The peddler at my door;
I've walked about the market
place, I've ridden miles and miles,
And still wherever I go I'm met
On every hand with smiles.
I wish someone more worldly
wise Would make it plain to me.
Why 'tis a "sorrow-ridden race"
Should SEEM so full of glee.
For with the talk of "earthly
woe,"
And of "Satanic wiles."
I find it hard to understand
This prevalence of smiles.

ItETTElUXG BOYHOOD.
Pendleton is now entertaining a
gathering that has for its prime ob
ject the advancement of boyhood and
young manhood in Umatilla county.
A meeting held in such a cause will
assuredly be productive of good. The
psychological effects of such gather
ings are always wholesome because
the purpose is to educate and elevate
and that thought is uppermost in the
minds of all.
vy the nature of things boys of
tender years may be greatly benefit
ted by such conventions as the ona
vii nere. i ne cnaracter of a
man is largely shaped between the J
ages of 15 and 21. When there are
vicious or dissipated men it is large
ly because of bad Influences during
young manhood. Good men often
owe their fortune not only to person
al strength and inherent good char
acter but to the fact they were sur
rounded by proper influences during
their character forming periods.
There are some people who encour
age boys to "sow wild oats." But
there is danger the yield will be heav
ier than is wanted. There is much
danger in smoking, drinking and
other forms of dissipation. Those
things are vices, not virtues. They
lessen a person's mental, moral and
physical efficiency and boys should
be instructed to that effect. They
are things to be kept under heel. A
boy who is led to smoke or dissipate
in any other manner should also be
taught how to quit. His will must be
developed so that he can keep himself
in hand. Otherwise he will become a
wreck on the social sea an object of
pity and scorn.
But ambition is the great secret of
success. The boy who through her
edity or through Jnvironment gets
that young lion into his soul will do
well, come what may. The boy who
follows a star will not be bothered if
at times his personal surroundings
may not be the best. If his pathway
be through the mire his eyes will be
tip, not down and he will soon reach
safe ground; if the road for. him is
rough and steep it will only develop
his strength and fit him for greater
duties later on.
So the best thing anyone can do
f.r a boy is to Inspire him with a
personal desire to do right, to be
dean and honest and to succeed. If
SAMTAKY NKKDS.
Here is a timely extract from a
newspaper published in a wide awake
southern city where tho authorities
are awake to sanitary requirements.
The sentiments expressed apply very
closely to the situation in Tendleton.
Listen!
The sanitary department, has chos
en the one effectual method of evict
ing disease-breeding filth from ( )
before, the advent of hot weather. Re
gardless of rank or class, citizens are
to be given the alternative of clean
ing up their premises or facing the
recorder. Stringent and unremitting
enforcement of that policy ought to
give the city the healthiest summer In
it;- history.
Heartily endorsing the contention
that dirty back yards and streets
could not be expected to cope with
the onslaughts of disease and death,
the head of the sanitary department
declares he will devote the forthcom
ing month to a scrupulous cleansing
program complete in every detail.
The garbage can ordinance will be
rigidly enforced. The ordinance which
requires that stable accumulations be
placed in air and water-tight recep
tacles will be applied without regard
t place or person.' The ordinance ex
acting the same specifications as to
earth closets is also to be clapped on
with all vigor.
The chief declaration that these
ordinances have been operative a suf
ficient length of time to make ignor
ance inexcusable is unanswerable. For
two successive seasons, now the resi
dents of ( ) have been given full
opportunity to familiarize themselves
with all three of these regulations,
and to comply with them. Indiffer
ence or apathy should no longer be
permitted to menace the health and
lives of more law-abiding citizens.
The resident sufficiently contempt
uous of the health of himself or his
J family to violate primary hygienic,
preventive and sanitary laws, has no
right to visit the consequences of his
neglect upon the great mass of clti
zens who religiously, and at some ex
pense, observe these laws.
One uncovered garbage can, or ma
nure pile, or earth closet, jeopardizes
the health of every man, woman and
child within a radius of half a mile,
notwithstanding that every other
householder in that territory may be
observing the ordinance to the dot
ting of an "i." The germ-carrying
fly or mosquito does not stop to in
quire of the garbage can or manure
heap in a particular back yard may
or may not be protected. It float
into the house and upon the food of
the just and the unjust, the law
abiding and the law-breaker, with
beautiful impartiality. That Is th
fundamental reason why ( )
everywhere should regard the in
junction of the sanitary department
