Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "King of
Liver Medicines?" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a slugg: sh or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better than Pills. It
does not gripo, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

Branch Asylum Casb Ended The
Eastern Oregon branoh asylum oase is
at last ended and Union baa bi-en robbed
of what was justly hers. Judge Hewitt
in the oiromt court last Tuesday handed
down the decision in this cues. He duds
that tbe said branch insane asylum ia
one ot tbe institutions of tbe state and
by the constitution of Oregon is required
to be looated at the seal of government.
Tbe act providing for said asylum is de
clared to be in violation of Section 3 of
Article 14 of the constitution of Oregon.
The injunction agHinat building tbe asy
lum i made perpetual. While this is a
shame and disgrace to the state of Ore
eon, yet, it ia some oonsnlation to know
ill at tbe oase ia at last ended and ia out
if the courts.

WERE I THE SUN.
I'd always shine on holidays,
Were I the sun;
On sleepy heads I'd never Raze,
But focus all my morning rays
On busy folks of bustling ways,
Were I the sun.
I would not melt a sledding snow,
Were I the sum
Nor spoil the ice where skaters go,
Nor help those useless weeds to grow,
But hurry melons on, you know,
Were 1 the sun.
I'd warm the swimming pool Just right,
Were I the sun;
On school days I would hide my light
The Fourth I'd always give you bright,
Nor set so soon on Christmas night,
Were I the sua
I would not heed such paltry toys,
Were I the sun
Such work as grown-up men employes
But I would favor solid Joys
In short, I'd run the world for boys.
Were 1 the sun.

W. TflL:'j)i, A'lLVI. "o ;''lti" Hnwl tee Mia. V..rl.1
It was my sad fortune, from earliest
boyhood up, to be a failure in all ways.
I was not so handsome as could have
been expected in the son of my beauti
ful mother and the young father who
died before I was born, and who was
also beautiful, I was told. I was not
brilliant, thouirh both sides of the
iiouse showed men and women of ex-
:ellent ability, and, worst of all, I was
not Rood, though this puzzled me Dot a
little as a child, for my intentions were
of a magnificent order, and the result
ant behavior not nearly so reprehensl
ble as that of many boya I knew, less
punished.
But, in some way, the things I meant
to do failed of accomplishment, or were
found, when accomplished, to have
most unhappy consequences; and the
things I did under pressure of disci
pline were seldom satisfactory.
Years of reproof and often overheard
complaint as to my trying disposition
finally convinced me of my unworthi
ness, and in time I grew to look at my
life as a failure, merely an opportunity
for as much self-indulgence as could be
procured without too great expense.
Being of a lazy and luxurious dispo
sition, I early fell into the habit of de
riving an inexhaustible fund of pleas
ure from mere imagination of what
things might be: to console myself for
ineffectual struggle to make them such.
As a little boy I was sent to bed with
military precision by my inflexible
mother, usually with a sense of failure
and ill-doing in the day behind me,
and I used to lie mute and still in my
little chamber and make up to myself
in royal bursts of imagination for the
disappointments of the real life. How
often, so lain, and thought to be sound
asleep. I have, in spirit, not only es
tablished my preeminent virtues by a
series of noble acts so easy to Imagine,
so difficult to perform in the gray irk-
someness of everyday life but besides
this have I glutted my infant soul with
the sweet vengeance of magnanimity;
arranging unparalleled donations anil
privileges to be conferred by me, mo
the lamentable anu unwortny son, upon
my grateful family and friends. One
sweetest Joy of these fair dreams wa
that, when I should be a man, my Cousin
Mary, who disliked me for the disagree
able boy I was, should love and marry
me.
It was a sore ptobiem with me in
those days to decide whether I should
indeed receive the open gratitude of
my beneficiaries, revelling gloriously
therein; or whether, proudest height of
power concealed, I should bestow all
benefits in secret, and yet remain con
demned and criticised by the unwit
ting reclpU-nts of my bounty. Hut my
Cousin Mary in these dreams always
loved me for tnyw-lf alone, and then
afterward ah! the jewela I showered
upon her.
This habit of internally satihfylDg
myself, of paying back In trlumphaut
magnanimity for all "tbe stingaand
arrows of outrageous fortune" con tin
ued with me as I grew, and remained
my best consolation after I had become
an unaspiring reporter on a great news
paper. And still in my solitary cham
ber downtown, when I was not so tired
as to sleep perforce In what hours re-!
maliifd to me, I would commie myself
fur all the mortification of the day and
of all the other days In my unhappy 1
memory, by proud, uuhaoipered visions
of what 1 would do under given condi
tions of wealth and power.
I Splendid condition these, so easily
Imagined, Biting so smoothly to my
shoulders a 1 planned and adapted
them, but ah! so laughably Impossible
of attalnaient 1
And then, all at once, by a chance do
stranger, to be sure, than many a one I
waa In the dally habit of recording, j
there fell Into my handa, not talent
and Ix'suty and power, Indeed, as I had
demanded in my bnyitdi dreams, but1
wraith practically unbounded, such !
wealth a I could never of myself have 1
earned, or won, or found, or In any
least or faintest way daMTved.
To be sure, 1 had been laying myself
out on the old fellow, a I should never
have dared to do had 1 known hlra for '
a millionaire, but that was hot for I-
nevolrnne, but a purely ai llish appre
ciation of bia boundlesa fund of travel
andeiprrience. IlisMiclety waa worth
money to me beside the pleasure of It,
and therefore did I rourt him aaaldu
oualy, with many an entertainment
and ei'.'uralon, whlrh again were no
credit to my generosity, for had I not
the Interminable ticket and pa and
the duty of going to all thene weary
thing? a duty much lightened by the
society of the lounging. Invalid old
gentleman, whom I supposed do richer
than myself.
I told lilts my story, such as It waa;
and I am fain to think that some aub
t.e sympathy, some eonsclounea of a
milar e per-one la hiaowa boyhood,
made him take more of so Interest than
I thB auspeeted to th'S poor series Of
failures I called my life.
Then he died very soddenly and
w-e. ti. v ftievm unbelievable
itiiliiot,. arid a no oe t.ut in wiii iior
knew that he had any money, so DO
one knew that I had any; ami behold
ir.e forthwith ia exactly the poatUoa
tit oj fchwdtah heart detlre!
What joy! What wild, free rap
ture of plans, with occasional bursts
of fancy which even I dismissed
aa quite untenable. For instance,
I had no longer any faintest hope
of marrying my Cousin Mary. She
was' quite taken up with another
cousin, Fred by name, and would have
married him long since, no doubt, had
he been able to support a family. But
he was proud, and would not marry
until he could offer something to his
wife. I knew that, for he had told me
so.
However, It was now my delicious
fate to be able to arrange matters for
these two so that they should be able
to marry; neither knowing how it had
come about, nor in the least corner of
their hearts suspecting me. Then
with what swelling pride should 1 look
upon their happiness and know that I
had given it 1, who so far had given
only trouble and mortification to my
family!
It was an easy matter' to make my
mother's last years comfortable; and
ah! the pleasure, the selfish pride I
took in remembering small personal
wishes and gratifying them bit by bit,
while never suspected!
It was an easy matter, too, through
my agent, to buy the very paper on
which I wrote; to slowly dismiss the
men who were a disgrace to it, to pro
mote and engage men whose work
made it a great voice soon, and through
it, slowly to win the public confidence
and work my will, little by little,
among the affairs of the city. Such a
splendid game it was to arouse public
enthusiasm over some free baths, or
children's play-ground scheme or
other, to start subscription lists, and
covertly head them myself; to machin
ate safely and quietly through my
great pages, and all the while having
my copy refused half the time, and the
other fellows wondering how I kept
my place.
All this, and much more, was easy
and exciting; more of a triumph and a
joy even than I had ever imagined it
would be; but my pet scheme of
schemes hung fire a little. Fred got
his new position, in a perfectly natural
manner; he was a good fellow and de
served it. Still there was no sign of
an engagement between him and my
Cousin Mary. Then I thought, being
an independent girl, she might be
waiting to have something of her own;
and after as pretty a bit of finesse as 1
ever saw in my life, if it was my own
Invention and small wonder, for had
I not schemed at such pleasant mir
acles since I was eight years old? I
managed to provide her with a neat
little fortune of her own. Still no re
sult So one day when I was at home
I did not go often, for mother would
always lecture me on my habits, and
somehow I never could entirely get
over the hurt of it, big as 1 was I
chanced to be alone with my Cousin
Mary for as much of an evening as she
would be willing to bear my company.
I felt very happy to see how beauti
fully she was dressed in these diiys,
how her hands were white already,
and grown smooth again where the
delicate hngers used to be rough with
countless needle pricks. The house
was a comfortable one now, my mother
was far easier In her mind and there
fore a sweeter companion.
Everything looked pleasant around
Mary, and I told her how glad I was to
aee it
I did not tell her how glad 1 was to
see her, how in all the rich and varied
joy of my present position, as in all the
unutterable weariness and dullness of
my former state, to see her was the
keenest delight I ever felt, or ever
hoped to feel. Calm, strong, beautiful
woman that she was; perfect in loveli
ness of face and form and character
mine would be a poor triumph, after
all, if 1 could oot contrive to make her
happy.
1 sat watching her, and she watched
the leaping flames of the fire; and I
wondered clumsily ii what possible
way I could force her into the happi
ness which ahould be hers, when all at
once she rose and come to my aide.
"Cousin Tom," she aaid, In that de
licious voice of hers, "why don't you
amount to more why don't you do
yourself justice In tome way? Is It"
and here ahe bluahed beautifully but
the cousinshlp gave ber courage, and
she went on. "Is it for lack of money
to make a start with? Because, you
know, I am quite rich now because 1
want you to let me you'll forgive my
awkwardness, won't you? to let me
give you aotue of it, Tom, a whole pile
of It"
That blessed, generous, eelf-forget-ting
creature! Hhe looked so lovely aa
ahe said It that my poor brain awain
dizzily.
"No," aaid I, at length, "it Is not lack
of money, my dear Cousin Mary, but
sheer personal incapacity that prevent
my amounting to anything. I am an
ordinary, stupid fellow at bent, and
my family are too clear-headed to give
me that blind, loving faith which makea
even stupid fellow do very well some
time," "You are not stupid," ahe cried, "nor
ordinary. I know you lietter than you
think. You could be something splen
did If you choa. Why don't you
choose?"
And then ha looked at me with such
an earnest, tender, believing glance a
fairly drove to to her fret.
"Oh, Mary, you bleel angel!" I
erlrd to her; "could you would you
I it fHieoibla that you, after all. can
find It In your tweet heart to make a
plane for such a uwile g'jl for noth

And then my Cousin Mary just came
Into my arma and comforted my sore
heart with a thousand tender word of
hope and faith. And ahe aaid the

ENGLISH DIFFICULT TO LEARN.
Few Frenchman Can Pronounce the Lan
guage Without an Aooent.
The Frenchman, past or present,
who speaks English especially well and
does not pronounce English names
with an accent that is peculiarly
French is very rare indeed. President
Felix Faure now holds the honors
throughout all France for his excellent
English, and Englishmen resident in
Paris, as well as the public men of
London, who have epportunities of
knowing, say that he quite equals Na
poleon III. in his fluency a l'Anglaise.
M. Faure, in fact, is the first of tin
presidents who has been able to pro
nounce English well. Thiers, MacMa
hon, Orevy and Carnot had a very im
perfect knowledge of that language
and Orevy was especially weak, not
only in his pronunciation but in his
handling of English verbs. This is a
curious fact, and a rather instructive
one, when it comes to be recalled that
nearly all the last kings of France
were good English scholars.
Among French statesmen Baron de
Cour".el, the present ambassador of the
French republic at the court of St.
James, has a fine grasp of the language
of the country to which he is accred
ited. This diplomat showed this in a
most marked manner during the meet
ings of the Behring sea fishery arbitra
tion, in which he took a prominent
part. Clemenceau, the editor and dep
uty, has the reputation of speaking the
best English in France, and several
times during his visits to London he
has addressed deputations of British
workmen in their own tongue, being
able to make himself amply under
stood by the most ignorant man pres
ent. Tha "Morn-Tlr.d" Man.
The fellow who was born very tired
grew more and more weary as he went
through the haps and mishaps of child
hood, the adolescence of youth and the
early period of manhood. At middle
age he was the tiredest man then liv
ing. At fifty he was so utterly worn
out with the simple process of existing
that it occurred to him to calculate
how many breaths he must draw if he
went on living for twenty years more,
ind, being a man in fair preservation,
there was a good prospect of his reach'
ing the) allotted threescore and ten
years of average mankind. Well, the
tired citizen flmirort It out on the bnMr

ing are the several types of lamp
clocks. One of these, says Cassier's
Magazine, was of a kind quite common
in the seventeenth century, and con
sisted of a lamp burner placed at the
base of a glass oil receptacle mounted
vertically on a suitable standard. The
oil reservoir had attached to it a scale,
facing the burner and showing the
hours, beginning at four o'clock in the
afternoon at which time the lamp was
to be lighted in winter, and ending at
seven o'clock in the morning. The
lamp being lighted, the ernd'Tlv de
scending level ot the oil, as combus
tion proceeded, marked the hours. The
other device, of later origin, dating
back to the beginning of the present
century, utilized the same principle. It
consisted of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by a clock dial.
In one of the chambers was placed a
night lamp to illuminate this dial, and
in the other was suspended a float from
a cord which passed around a small
puiiey. i ne latter was mounted on a
horizontal axis ending in the center of
the dial. The float of course descended
as the oil was consumed and carried
the index hand along with it, thus
making the hours precisely as in the
case already cited. At their best, these
timepieces could have had only an in
different degree of accuracy, yet they
probably Berved their purpose well, and
certainly are interesting at the present
time as illustrating some of the expedi
ents adopted by mechanicians of an
earlier period.
