How is it with you at the end of the day? Is pride in your heart and is peace in your breast? Can you sit in the darkness and honestlv say That in all of your acts you have tried for the best That if profits have come to you, little or great, . No wronged one may think of you, treasuring hate I Can you turn at the end of the day and be ftlad That no one is poorer for aught you have done That no one has reason to curse or be sad Because of a triumph that you may have won? Can you go to your bed with the peace in your heart That is his who has acted the praiseworthy part? Can you gaze at the stars when the silence is deep And say, as if God was consent ing to hear, That no one tonight will be rob bed of sweet sleep Because you have won a success which was dear? Have you crushed no fair hope, nor spread grief on the way? How is it with you at the end of the day? Ex. A Church hull of Gaiety. The latest novelty in religipus evangelism is the proposal made by Capt. Theodore Valiant to establish at AVashington, D. C, a church in which all forms of gaiety and gladness will find favor. In explaining his creed, Valiant said: "Music, merriment and smil ing faces will be important ele ments of the religion of the fu ture. As in the olden times, the Bible days, the men and women will be won to God from de pravity and crime. There will be the dancing women, the cym bal players, the singers and the games, just as there were in the days of Moses and Solomon. The old hell of the old religion, with its flaming fires, its dancing imps in leather hides, its cata combs of dead hopes and its fumes of sulphur, is a thing of the past. It was adroitly em ployed to frighten people into the church. "The church of the future that will make the most converts for God's cause and the betterment of humanity, is the church that offers its members music and light and harmless games and the laughter of joyousness. Blue laws and fanaticism will find no place in the religion of the fu ture." Ex.

Qrand Future. C. A. Malboeuf , district freight agent of the Southern Pacific railroad, is enthusiastic regard- ing the future of the Willamette valley as a fruit country, says: the Statesman. "I do not believe that any livf ing man today can have any conception Of what this country will be in ten years from now,' said Mr. Malboeuf. He continued "The green fruit crop in Ore- gon will be the biggest on record this year, ' ' It appears now thai it will be twice as large as last year. The value of green fruit grown in western Oregon last year was estimated at $4,825,000 and there is no doubt that these figures will exceed $5,000,000 this year. There are over 35,000 acres of green fruit in bearing and more than this not in bear ing. The average is increasing at a nhenominal rate. In fiv years we should be shipping 5,000 cars of fruit. Up to this date the number has never yet reached 1,000. The increase is due partially to the fact that the old settlers are setting out fruit and partly because nearly all the easterners who are coming in are going into the fruit growing business. This year in the neighborhood of 10,000 acres of apples and pears were planted, including about 500,000 trees.". Timber Cruiser is Held. f. O. M. Stafford, a timber cruis er, arrested several weeks ago on a charge of having procured and assisted in securing false affidavits concerning timber claims east of Oregon City, waiv ed examination before United States Commissioner G.'H. Marsh Wednesday morning. Bail was placed in the sum of $1000, which Stafford furnished. Stafford was arrested together with J. C. Burke. Burke was before Commissioner Cannon, Tuesday, and was bound over to await the action of the next fed eral grand jury. Bond, which he gave, was placed at $2,000. The case of Stafford will be heard by the next federal grand jury, whicluwill probably not be call ed until fall. It is claimed by the complain ants that Burke and Stafford took numerous persons to fine timber land in Clackamas coun tv and represented to them that they were to file on this tract, when in reality the location of the filme was several miles away Burke and Stafford claim that there has been some mistake on the part of the government and the United States surveys. Ure gon City Enterprise. TO BUSINESS COLLEGE WASHINGTON AND TENTH STREETS PORTLAND. OREGON WRITE FOR CATALOG You in a Good Position WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOU? An amusing case of a political and domestic mix-up comes from Emporia, Kansas. It gives an inkling as to how woman's suf frage might work. The editor of the Emporia Times is Mrs. Mary McCreary Parkman. She is a loyal democrat and has serv ed two terms as county superin tendent. Her husband is Har rison Parkman, Republican coun ty surveyor, and candidate for re-nomination. It is one of the rules of the Times office that Mr. Parkman's name shall not ap pear in the paper. When a news item requires mention of him, he appears as the ' county sur veyor." This policy of black listing her husband in the town has created much comment, and, in her own defense, Mrs. Park- man printed the following edi torial: "We havebeenasked frequent lv why we keep our husband on the blacklist in the Emporia Times. Now, ordinarily, what we do with our husband is our own business. And it would seem in all fairness that if we put up with this man morning, noon and night we shouldn't have to be putting him in the. paper all the time. We and our husband, like all married people have our agreements and. our disagreements. ' We agree on literature, religion, art, the nebu lar hypothesis, the proper meth od of poking the fire, the value of breakfast food as a brain build er, paving, municipal ownership and the facts in the Gunness case. But we disagree on poli tics. We think our husbaud has a good deal of sense for a mere man on lots of subjects; but on politics he doesn't know much. He is a Republican a black Re publican," a, mean black Republi can, and as such has no claims on us either as a moulder of public opinion, as a fellow-citizen, or as a wife. We will cook for our husband, we will darn and brush for him, and keep him up as our husband. But as an office-holder of a vile, venal and corrupt organization, an emissary of Wall street and as an oppressor of the poor, our hus band has only our unspeakable contempt. He should thank his lucky stars that we do keep his name out of the Times. "We know enough of our hus band, should he attempt to press this matter too far, to make his vote in this election little more than scattering. But up to the present we have said nothing. We have believed that our duty as a wife had some claims on our duty as an editor. But a word to the wise should be sufficient, and if our husband has learned a lick of sense from .past experi ences with us, he will take a grand immortal tumble to him self and call off his dogs. This newspaper is a free and untram- meled organ of special privileges to none and equal rights to all, and if our husband thinks he belongs to the privileged classes he is mighty badly fooled. '"We think a good bit of our husband, first and last, and in : one way and another, but we will j permit of no foolishness from I this Republican county surveyor, j He is a bad lot and we withhold ; certain matters in this affair, on account of the respectability ol the parties concerned."

"Good Roads" seems to have become in recent times the sub ject of general conversation when a group of citizens get to gether. During the last two weeks there has been more discussion of good roads among people genei ally than there has about the great political cam paign that is before us. When dairymen get together they dis cuss good roads; it is the same with fruit growers, while auto mobile owners have become ver itable cranks on the subject. An insistent demand, coming from every section of the state, has been made upon the Port land Commercial Club to call some character of representative meeting to discuss a practical plan" whereby all Oregon may have better highways. Presi dent Newell, of the State Board of Horticulture, has written to the club asking that action be taken without delay; a similar request also comes from Hon. J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, on behalf of the dairy interests, and the bankers of Portland and other cities and towns of the state are of one mind on. the subject. Many of the cities throughout Oregon are building high class, hard-surface pavements, and everywhere you go you find men talking "Good Roads." As a result of all this it has been determined to hold an "Or egon Good Roads Conference" in convention hall (6th floor) of the Portland Commercial Club, Tuesday, August 11th, with morning, afternoon and evening sessions No interest in the state seems to be more anxious to have a part in devel oping the good roads sentiment into a realization thaTi the rail roads, and as a result a rate of a fare and a third has been made for this meeting. Tickets will be good the day before and the day after the meeting, so that it may be extended over the sec ond day if necessary. f An-interesting program will be prepared, but there will be no long-winded speeches prac tical men will be secured and practical questions discussed. The good roads associations of Oregon and, Washington will be asked to co-operate in making the meeting a success. The basis of representation will be announced within a few days, but all commercial and industri al bodies, county judges, county commissioners, editors and may-, ors, will be authorized to appoint delegates and urged to have a good representation present.

Exciting Ti trio In the Dead Sea and tha River Jordan. It is well known that the waters of the Dead sea are much heavier than those of the ocean. This i due to the great amount of salt held in solution. A few years ago Mr. (now Sir) Gray Hill of. England made a trial of swimming in , the eea and then in the Jordan to com pare the two. He tells the result in his-took, "With the IJedoulns:" Many tourists while at Jericho bathe in the Dead sea and the Jor dan, and for very Ehame I could not pass by without doing so. But my experience was peculiar. I had with me one of the Jericho sheiks and one of the muleteers, and we rode first to the Dead sea. Its waters are generally perfectly still and of . a splendid blue color, but now, owing to the storm, they were very rough, the waves ran high and for some 200 yards from the shore were of an uglv brown. I looked askance at it as I un dressed, but felt bound to go in. The wave's very promptly knocked me down and filled my mouth, nose and eyes with their strong brine. Again 1 tried and again, picking up one after another of the bare branches of trees which are carried down by the Jordan and washed on to the shores of this strange lake, with which I tried to steady myself as I walked in. But the force of the waves, aided by the great float ing power of the water, twisted the branches out of my hands and knocked me down time after time until, feeling that I had dona enough for principle, I acknowl edged that the victory did not he on my side and scrambled out, smart ing most unpleasantly. Then we galloped off to the Jor dan, where I thought I should suc ceed better. So I cast about for a suitable place to jump in, for 1 did not like to crawl in ignominiously at the pilgrims' bathing place, near which we were and which would have been the wisest course to adopt. I wanted to take a header. So, procuring a long stick, I ascend ed the stream a little and made sure by sounding with it of a deep 6pot under an overhanging tree. In I plunged, intending to swim down to the regular bathing place, where I knew there must be a good bottom for getting out. Down I came with the fast flowing yellow flood, striking out in the fullest en joyment. But when I was just about to put my foot to the ground I was brought up sharp with a tremen dous blow on my right breast. If it had struck me on the heart it would, I think, have killed me on the spot. I had come down on to the end of a stake pointing up stream and driven in to mark the upper boundary of the bathing place, but which was hidden, owing to the rains having raised the sur face of the river. I had some diffi culty in crawling out again and was black and blue in the chest for a month afterward. There is noth ing like a little experience to teach one wisdom. To Tell Age and Birth Montn. Tell your playmate to think of the number of the month when he waa born, January counting as No. 1, Feb ruary as No. 2, etc. Say he or she was born in August That would be No. 8. Tell him to multiply it by 2, giving 10. Add 5, giving 21. Multiply hy 50, giving 1,050. Add his age say, twelve years giving 1,062. Subtract 3G5, giving G97. Add 115, giving 812. This is the final result, which he must give aloud. You then without hesitation tell him he was born in August and Is twelve years old, because the nu meral at the left is the number of the month, and the other two stand for his age. ( Luminous Beetles. Our little fireflies are only as a taper beside an electric light compared with, luminous .beetles found in the West Indies and parts of South America. If you were in a rural district of Santo Domingo, for example, and should de sire to read at night you might be sur prised to have placed on a table by your side a bottle containing a few luminous beetles. One of these beetles, it is said, will emit sufficient light to enable a person to read small print, while half a dozen of the little crea tures will answer the purpose of an ordinary lamp. ; some or the omcera of ihe I"ew x'orfc state grange are beginning to talk about 100,000 members of the grange In the state along about 1910.
