Rippling Rhymes. TOE VICTIM AU the world is shot to pieces, men M-e roaring, days and nights, for a lot tf boons and bulwarks, and some fif ty kinds of rights; capital is swatting labor, labors roundly hitting back. Jind our mills are standing idle, and c ur trains have jumped the track. All the struggling, fighting forces seem to glory in the wreck, while the tTlti naie Consumer gets the cleaver in the reck. Oh; the intimate Consumer in the scrap has little part; he'd be-hap Iv just to labor in the office or the mart, and to feed his w.fe and kiddies, find to buy the rags they need, and provide against the future when he's old and gone to seed; but alas, the bricks are flying, and the scrappers are on deck, and tho Ultimate Con sumer gels the dnrnicks in the neck. And the Ultimate Consumer has ft sad und weary lot, for he's always bound to suffer, whether others do or not; others do the frantic talking of their grievances and ills, while the Ultimate Consumer goes ahead and pays the (ills; it's a time of sound and fury and the madness knows no check, and the intimate Consumer gets the hatchet in the neck. T SURRENDERS SELF BECAUSE OF COLD SALEM is experiencing the heaviest snowfall 'in many yearj The inconveniences and annoyances result ing are but temporary, the resultant benefits will be many and lasting. Snow has been called "the poor man's fertilizer," on the theory that the falling flakes gather nitrogen from the air and deposit it upon the soil, strengthening and invigorating it. lhe snow blanket protects winter gram roots from the ravages of frost and insures a supply of water lor the streams and heavily packed m the forests, minimizes the danger of drouth and forest fires next sum mer. The snow-storm seems to have stupified Salem and emphasized her inertia. Instead of shoveling the snow off awake town, citizens have cleaned but few strips of side walk outside the business district and there are entire streets in which traffic of anv kind is almost 'im possible in the two feet of snow. Many residents have not even taken the trouble to clear a path to the house. What traffic there is, is wholly along the street car tracks where the snow plows have cleared a passage. Do Salemites expect the milkman, the grocery man, the meat mm ?nd other regular callers to wait upon their homes, when they refuse to make it possible to get to these homes save by wading through deep snow? Sup reme selfishness is shown by those who stay at home and phone for deliveries and do nothing to make those deliver ies possible. There never was a better illustration of the Cl1 ' 'L ,. oaiein suim. - 405 How do people expect their little Capital Journal car rier to deliver his paper through snow almost as high as he is, when they make it impossible for him to reach their homes? Good delivery is out of the question, but every effort possible will be made to get the paper to those who have made it possible. The carrier force 'has been doub led for the emergency, tractors secured to break roads. but in spite of every effort, it will be impossible to reach! every one. allow me to take a long motor ride alone under the circumstances and she offered 10 come after me.

"Both John I thought this wa 1 very sweet of Elisabeth," said Alice, "as we happen to know she gave iiy a week-end visit to come down." Poor little mother was in great dis tress becauhe I insisted that both these women should go to the hotel, and that their visits to her should be con lined to h call of condolence. - When luiiznbeth Moreland cam she talked t) mother about John and how long she had known him and told so many intimate stories of his youth and college clays that after she left mother looked at me with troubled face and asked: "Katherine, I hope that John did THE PORK BARREL. CVERY once in awhile the first congressional district of Oregon is reminded that it has a representative in congress- though the reminders are few and far between. The prospect of a raid on the treasury with another "pork barrel" bill has awakened Congressman Hawley from his habitual somnolence and he has introduced bills for pub- 1" 1 1 1 1 . AMI t . - lie Duuaings at Astoria, Ashland, Uorvallis, Grants Pass, Marshfield and Oregon City. The "pork barrel" is designed to reward members of congress for standing in with the "organization" and vot ing blindly as instructed, and to punish the recalcitrant members. Those who take orders get Uncle Sam's money for federal buildings in their districtsthose who refuse to wear the yoke, are denied buildings. The merits and needs of the communities have nothing to do with the awards. The bills for buildings appeal to local pride and help build up the congressman's political fences at home. The structures are judiciously distributed to placate disgrunt led sections and create popularity.

I have since learned that John is one of those men who al ways krows your inmost thoughts, and acts upon his prescience. He never takes In: exactly as I say, but always I looks be:Jnd my words for a motive, a reason vr the lack of one. I had al- ready learned to know him well 1 enough ;o understand his line of thought in this case. John's mind would woik thus: He was sending tho motor for me; .therefore I would not need carfare; certainly I must haye at least a part of my allowance which I had t i!il him my father hud always given n o. and not knowing my fath er's recei t circumstances he, of course Jumped to the conclusion that it was still being paid to me. But at that I wondered what he thought I could do with five dollars. Why,' It wouldn't oven pay for the ornate funeral wreath that he had or dered sent to the grave of my father and for which he had neglected to pay. It was not enough for the mod est fee.-, tiiat I felt obligated to give the cook, my mother's maid, and tho people who were serving me dally. . I was so angry about the money that at first I didn't realize what bad tasit. it was for John's sister and Elizabeth Morelard to come after me in the mo tor. "It's like a pleasure trip," I said to myself, angrily. "I can't understand why Alkie should bring Miss Moreland with her ; I hardly know her and she surely should recognize that my moth er would not care to entertain stran gers at this time." As soon as I saw Alice, who came along in the car that afternoon, she gave mo an explanation. It sooms that John had Intended sending the car forme alone, and Alice, In her thoughtlessi good-natured way, expostulated with him, saying that she thought it was a mistake to 1 Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Tr.

"I dou't know whether he Jilted her or not." I answered quickly, "but I do know one thing, that she has made herself vury unpopular with mo since I have reen married." "You must beware of Jealousy, my dear," said mother. "If a wife will only remember thut sho is the one her husband Ium chosen, I am quite sure she cannot but realize that he care move lor her than for any other woman." "Mother,' I said "John cares more for nie Jian for any other woman that I I'.mow but that doesn't keep Bess Uovo'aud from being cattish up on every conceivable occasion. .
