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."

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 Stomach Bothor You P Don't trifle with or neglect It.
