FLOWERS OF SPRING
Today, while the battle of ballots
la raging, let us forget the LeaKue
of nations and tbe campaign tor
tliis office and that, and think of
some of the things that are around
us In tbe spring time that we have
been overlooking as we rotiHidered
candidates and measures.
The most interesting thing that
one comes to realize about the
change of seasons in this Central
Oregon country is the fact of their
almost imperceptible transition from
one to tbe next. Chiefly the reason
is because we have so few deciduous
trees. In other sections autumn is
associated with falling leaves, "sere
and yellow," the grasses turn brown
and tbe fall rains make muddy
roads that soon, in the colder reg
ions, become frozen ruts. Then, in
tbe spring, the action is reversed.
There is more mud in the roads un
til i the long drying period has
passed, slowly the grass turns green
and the leaves begin to come out.
Here,' on the other hand, tbe trees
are always the same. Tbe seasons
make no change. On sunny lawns
the grass is always green. . Roads
are often dusty, even in January.
The! change to spring is marked
chiefly by longer days of sunshine.
There is. one aspect of the sea
son, however, here as elsewhere,
that does especially distinguish it
irom the others and that is the
blossoming of tbe spring flowers.
First comes tbe Wild currant.
Even In March its little, angular
leaves 6egin to develop, and she
warm days of April soon bring out
the pink and' white, bell-shaped
flowers that too soon are faded by
dust. Then comes the yellow, wax
like clusters of blossoms on the
Infrequent and stunted branches ot
our state flower, tbe Oregon grape,
while, out In the woods the man-
zaxuta, green-leaved tbe year
around, puts out the blossom that
in all but its lack of fragrance re
minds one ot the trailing arbutus
of New England. Soon, too, there
comes in tbe woods tbe stately and
fragrant mountain lily.
These are flowers ot the waste
spaces. : While they are putting
forth there comes by the river and
in the lawn the flower that is a de
light to the children, but a weed to
tbe gardener the dandelion.
Just now there is another blos
som that appeals especially to the
children, tbe "star-scattered," white
petaled and yellow-centered sand
lily, with its long grass-like leaves.
Always it is found in spots so dry
and dusty that its appearance, in
its fragile beauty, is like a miracle.
A little yellow violet is coming now
with tbe sand lily and soon the
same places will also see tbe deli
cate blue blosEom of the flax.
Tbe climax of spring blossoms to
us Is the flower of the cbemisal.
The individual blossoms are not
especially striking, but there Is a
mass effect of yellow, when a bush
Is in full bloom, that makes it
stand out above any other flower or
shrub. With its color there is also
a fragrance of heliotrope and spice,
brought out most fully on the
warmer days, that is almost over
powering. When the election smoke has
cleared away, go out for a walk and
look for some of these flowers.
JlAvf aVWaIt Mon t-O"?
You Know Her.
The stately domestic is frequently seen; she's
grand and majestic, patrician her mien; with
hauteur she dishes the loaves and the fishes; we.,
bow to her wishes and hail her as queen. This
damsel resplendent in .ermine is shod; so blamed
independent she quits at a nod; then nothing will
stay her, dissuade or delay her, and when I would
Eay her it takes all my wad. She's boss of the
ovel wherein I reside; before her I grovel, and
drop all my pride; she sits in a rocker and reads
a cheap shocker, and she is a mocker when grub
should be fried To movies she prances whenever
she likes; to blow-outs and dances she gaudily
hikes; no dinner is stewing, no coffee is brewing,
for rags she is chewing with Peters and Mikes.
She flies into rages, throws fits in the hall, and
says that her wages are needlessly small; she soon
must be earning more money for burning or she
will be turning my map to the wall. I do not desire
her, I find her a curse ; but if I should fire her the
next would be worse; and so she goes spoiling the
grub in the boiling, while I'm sadly toiling her
wage to disburse.
GOT RID OF MALCONTENTS
the fires through which It had
passed. The delegates assembled
at Chicago May 20, 186S.
Their mandate was a foregone
conclusion. Indeed, the convention
was so impatient to nominate Gen
eral Grant that some of the dele
gates sought to precipitate a deci
sion before the convention was
ready.
Carl Schurz of Missouri was tem
porary chairman: General Joseph
R. Hawley of Connecticut presided
permanently. General John A. Lo
gan finally presented Grant's- name
to the convention in a single son
tence. and promptly the convention
gave him its complete total of 63-i
votes.
Six roll-calls were necessary, how
ever, to name a vice-president. Ben
jamin F. Wade of Ohio, led on the
first four. ' Schuyler Colfax of Indi
ana, passed hi in on the fifth the
deflection from Wade being led by
delegates . from his own state and
and Colfax was nominated on the
sixth.
The platform renewed the paity's
guarantee of equal male suffrage,
reiterated the pledge to redeem the
public debt, denied the European
theories of indefeasable allegiance
under which no naturalized Ameri
can citizen could ever entirely thro'
off the yokes of alien nativity, ai d
bespoke encouragement to immigra
tion. -Grant's letter of acceptance com
prised but 211 words, completing
tbe novel record for brevity which
Logan began when he nominated
Grant in 55 words.
