I.ove and Kindness.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your iovo and kindness and tenderness
sealed up until your friends are dead,
but fill their lives now with sweetness,
speak approving and cheering words
while their ears are open and can hear
them, and while their hearts can be
thrilled and made happy by them.
The kind things you will say after they
are gone, say before they go over the
great divide.. 3 he flowers you mean
to send for their coffins, bestow now
and brighten aud sweeten their homes
before they leave them.
If my friends have alabaster ' boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection, -which they
intend to breaic over my dead body, I
would rather they would bring them
now in my weary and troubled hours,
and open tbem that I may be re
freshed and cheered while I need
them and can enjoy them. I would
rather have a plain coffin without a
flower, and a funeral without a eulogy
than a life without the sweetness of
love and sympathy.
Let us learn to annoint our friends
before hand, as May of old did, for
their burial. Post-mortem kindness
cannot cheer the burdened spirit.
Flowers on the coffin 6hed no frag
rance backward over, the weary way
by which our loved ones have already
travelled.
Ifwe could only have more love
whispered into our souls this world
would be a paradise and' we would
criticise less our neighbors when we
gather around our firesides. " If we
cd-jld, or rather would, only carry into
effect the injunctioc, "Love your
neighbor as yourself," how much bap-
pier we would be as well as those
about us. We should also learn to
say:
Lft each man learn to know himself.
And to gain tbat 'knowledge let him
labor,
Improve those failings in himself
Which he condemns so in his neigh
bor."
Then would . wo be less cruel and
not hurt the feelings of others.
The absence of genuine love is the
cause of so much bickering and back
biting in the would-be christian homes
of our church people.
"Example abeds a genial ray
Which men are apt to borrow,
. So. first improve yourself today .
And then your friend tomorrow." ,
Love covertb a multitude of sins,
therefore covet this greatest thing in
th? world "Love."

Closets tit the Court Street School in a
Fearful Condition. ' . ,
That diphtheria and scarlet fever
havo developed in the schools of The
Dalles is no wonder when the condi
tions that exist on the Court street
school grounds are brought to light.
Today a Times-Mountaiue.u' reporter
was iuvited to investigate the sur
roundings of that school, and from
what he saw, it was a wonder 'to him
(.bat there was a, well pupil in the
school.
His attention was called to the
water closets ou the premises, and cer
tainly no more filthy or repulsive place
could be 'iound. The closet south of
tho building is in a more fiithy con
dition than a pig pen, and the odors
emitting therefrom are difficult to de-
ribe. Tney are simplydreadfuL "
With, such conditions existing it is
little wonder that one of tho pupils
who attends school in tbat building is
liifliieted with diphtheria; the wonder
is that there is a well child in the
school.
The attention of Marshal Lauer was
called to the condition of tbo closets,
and he at once served notice on the
board of directors to have the closets
cleaned immediately, and also to put in
patent closets and connect them with
the sewer on Union, street. This
action is certainly most necessary, for
it is endangering the lives of school
children to compel them to frequent
such places as the closets on the Court
street school premises, and it is to be
hoped the school board will at once
see to it tbat better sanitary appliances
are introduced. And while they are
improving they should put in. patent
closets also ' at the Academy Park
school and the East End school.

A Peculiar lase.
About 4 .o'clock Thursday morning
Marshal Lauer was notified by tele
phone that a man was seriously hurt
on the railroad track west of the
depot. Mr. Lauer arose, and going
to In vestigate found a man who gives
his name to be G. W. Peters, with his
loft leg broken in two places below the
knee. . He was taken to the city jail,
where medical attendance was sum
moned to care for his injuries, and he
claims that he was walking along the
the railroad track and fell sustaining
serious injuries. He does not explain
why he was out so early in the morn
ing, bence It is presumed that be was
trying to board a train or get off it
when the accident occurred. He
claims to be a miner from California
and bad a lot of mining tools with
him. His case is rather puzzling, as
there seems to be 'no reason why he
should tell such an improbable story
about his misfortune.

from New England points up to 10
o'clock this morning it was difficult to
estimate the total ioss of life aud dam
age to shipping, along this coast, as
the result of the recent storm. The
list of disasters seems to grow every
hour, and from dispatches thus far re
ceived, it appears that at least 30
schooners were wrecked at different
points from Eastport, Me., to New
Haven, Con a.
Eighty-six schooners, have been
driven ashore and 14 barges are
aground.
Thit list does not include the 30
vessels, either wholly or partially
wrecked in Boston harbor, nor half a
dozen or more craft which are re
ported missing. When the lists are
added the number exceed 110 vessels.

Yard Master at That Place Ban Over ana
Killed.
While making up a freight train at
Umatilla last night Yard Master Gib
son fell in front of a moving ' car
and was run over. His body was cut
in two, and death was instantaneous.
It was quite dark when the train was
being made the engineer was un
able to see the yard master when he
fell.
Mr. Gibson had been in the employ
of the O. R. & N. Co. for a number of
years and was a faithful employe. No
blame could be attached to anyone, as
it was one of those unforseen accidents
that could not have been' averted.

To Reclaim. Desert lands :.,
" Arable public lands subject to entry
have become scarce in the tJnited
States, and as a consequence consider-
able attention is being given to desert
lands tbat are susceptible of reclalma
tion. It is understood there are a
number of California capitalists who
have become interested in the im
mense tracts of desert land in Crook
connty, and will make ac effort to
secure title and. reclaim the same. In
that county are thousands of acres of
fine lands that would produce immense
crops if water for irrigating them
were obtainable, and it is the purpose
of the California capitalists to insti
tute a system of irrigation that will
put these lands under cultivation if
they secure title to them.

CHANCE FOB A SCRIMMAGE.
Indications That the Great Northern and
O. B. & S. Are After the
Northern Pacific. '
Portland. Dec. 1. --Considerable
importance is attached to the meeting
of President Hill, of' the Great North
ern, and President' Mobler, of the O.
R. & N., at Spokane, and it is believed
that the O. R. & N., backed by the
Great Northern" 'and Union Pacific,
intends to cripple the Northern Pa
cific in the West.
Tho move in connection with the
meeting indicates .the . beginning of a
bitter war. The fact -that Mr. Mohler
and Mr. Hill are to meet without any
Morgan representative proves that
instead of trying to patch up the
troubles, plans are being arranged for
a fierce. fight;- It i'sv odiisidered'a very
diplomatic- move ; indued, for these
giants tor have -attempted to Uie the
Northern Pacific jjp;i dn iron-bound-agreement
to maintain strict tariff
rates before beginning1 an attack upon
that road. ,y:; "
-James Hill has a long heaJ, and so
has Morgan. A fight, therefore, be
tween these railway giants will be
watched with the ' keenest interest.
When it gets fairly under way it means
a fight to the finish.' No quarter will
be asked or given. . -

who are interestea in music. If this
is accomplished the society will give

New- York, Nov, 30. General
Jose Gomez has called on Stephen' E.
Barton at the Red Cross headquarters
in this city, to ask his aid in sending
relief to the sick and starving women
and children at Las Vilas, San tl
Spiritus and Trinidad, in Santa Clara
province, The general stated that
suffering was more intense there than
in any other part of tbe island and
that if the relief did not reach them
soon it would be too' lite.
General Gomez said that the mil
lion rations that were to be sent by
the govornment were going to the
north coast, and would not reach the
districts where they were most needed.
He did not make his appeal in behalf
of his own forces, which are on the
south coast of Santi' Spititus and
Tunas de Zara, but stated that be had
given food intended for them to the
sta'ving women and children of that
vicinity. He said that bis troops were
in a most pitiful condition now that
the fightisg is over. They cannot
help themselves
General Gomez said that he would
lay the matter before the president if
he was received.
The general said that there was
about 4500 families at Santi Spiritus
who. have absolutely nothing. - They
fled from tbe citios into th e hills - and
are now existing on., what they can
bunt. As to the population of the
city itself, where the Spanish are the
general was unable to speak.
It is reported that Roberts, recently
elected to congress from Utah, has
three wives, and .that on -this account
he will be refused a seat in tbe house
of representatives. Well if he really
has three wives be has all the troubles
he needs without trying to get into
congress where his cares would be in
creased. Some men naver know any
better than to increase their sorrows
when they have a chance.
