The stars know a secret
They do not tell;
And morn brings a message,
Hidden welL
There's a blush on the apple,
A tint on the wing,.
And the bright wind whistles,
And the pulses sting.
Perish dark memories!
There's light ahead;
This world's for the living,
Rot for the dead.
In the shining city,
On the loud pave,
The life-tide is running
Like a leaping wave.
How the stream quickens,
As noon draws near!
No room for loiterer?,
( No time for fear,
on the farai-l&nds
Earth smiles as well;
Gold-crusted grain-fields,
With sweet, warm smell;
Whirr of the reaper,
Like a giant bee.
Like a Titan cricket,
Thrilling with glee.
On mart, and meadow,
Pavement, or plain;
On azure mountain,
Or azure main
Heaven bends in blessing;
Lost is but won;
Goes the jrood rain-cloud?
Comes the good sun!
Only babes whimper,
And sick men wail,
And faint-hearts and feeble-hearts,
And weaklings fail.
Down the great currents
Let the boat swing;
There was never winter
But brought the spring.

speaker a iili:rt little figure, half hid

The footman, however, being a very

If a man fought against the Union
and accepted the logic of the war he is
yet a Confederate, if he is a Democrat,
and merely an ex-Confederate if he is a
Republican; his loyalty since the war
has nothing to do with it: politics is the
bloody shirt test of patriotism.
There is a something about restau
rants, hotels and boarding houses that
must be aa inscrutable mystery and a
prolific Roiirce. of annoyao.ca-.tarn.any.
It is not Hash. It is how they iiimh-o
to make such poor coffee. Coffee made
in an old oyster can over a fire of "buf
falo chips" and drank without cream or
sugar is as far ahead of the average res
taurant coffee as nectar is Buperior to
Louisiana "black strap" molasses. The
coffee of the sheep herder, the miner,
the camper, is at least palatable and
tastes like coffee, but the turbid liquid
of the restaurant that goes by that name
is simply execrable. l!y what fiendish
contrivance they manage to destroy ev
ery particle of the coffee flavor is an un
fathomable mystery, one of the black
est arts of modern eating houses.
A man may be very poor and yet free
from debt, and he had better be out of
debt than have the mere appearance of
affluence. The man whose debts are
due li;i3 no money that he can call his
own. Every time he indulges in a lux
ury or goes to a circus he must feel that
he is squandering some other man's mo
ney. Indebtedness destroys independ
ence. The man who is harassed by
debts is almost forced into making such
shifts as decrease his self-iespect, blunt
his conceptions of "mice and thine,"
and unless he has more than the usual
share of moral backbone he is apt to be
come actually dishonest. The down
grade is easy. If you would be inde
pendent, be free from debt, no matter
how poor you may be.

"I really don't b'l'eve she's horns,
miss," he returned
The girl flashed him an indignant
glance.
"Go and see!" she commanded, and
Jeames perforce obeyed, so far as to
summon miss vvorthiugton s maid a
pert-looking, black-eyed girl, dressed in
the height of fashion, in towdy imita
tion of her mistress' rich attire.
She tossed her befrizzled head at
sight of the figure in the waterproof,
and muttering something about "going
to see," disappeared up the broad, vel
vet-covered staircase. She returned di
rectly.
"io; Miss Worthington is not at
home!" she answered.
And feeling quite relieved to have
suesoderi' in giAuisg an answer tos- her
question at last, Alice Kay went down
the marble steps ut into the rain, once
more.
Hailing a passing car, she stepped in
side. As she seated herself she glanced
accidentally up toward one of the large
lace-draped windows of the Worthing'
ton mansion. Seated at the window in
plain sight was Miss Worthington ia a
blue cashmere wrapper a French novel
in her hand.
She saw Alice, and with a haughty
gesture of impatience, drew down the
silken shade.
A flush shot over Alice Ray's face.
"She was at home, and denied her
self to me," she said to herself. "Just
as Aunt Lydia said Bhe would! Ah,
well, she has lost more by the falsehood
than I have. If she only knew!" here
Alice arose to deposit her fare in the
box "ah, if she only knew!"
The car gave a sudden lurch and the
coin fell from the girl's hand. A gen
tleman sitting near hastily stooped.and,
picking it up, deposited the fare in the
box, lifted his hat, and involuntarily
both half smiled.
"Miss Hay!" he ejaculated eagerly;
"how glad I am to meet you! I have
been searching for months "
He checked himself abruptly. Her
face was flushing and paling by turns
as he exchanged his seat for one at her
side. It was Herbert Stanley, a young
and popular journalist, rapidly rising in
his profession; quite a "catch," in mod
era parlance, and the man who was to
Cora AVorthiugton a very king among
men. Xo win his love she was willing
to make any sacrifice.
Seated at Alice's side, while the near
ly empty car jogged along in the falling
rain through the streets, of the Crescent
City, Herbert Stanley toldher how he'

betrothed husband.
The next day Alice wrote a friendly
little note to her cousin, Miss Worth
ington, begging her to come to Aunt
Lydia's house; that the old lady was
very feeble and longed to see her before
she died. A curtly worded line was
returned, to the effect that Miss Worth
ington found no snch names upon her
visiting list as that of Misses Alice or
Lydia Ray. Of course that ended the
subject. Alice had done all in her
power to serve her cousin in a way of
which Cora Worthington little dreamed;
but she had striven in vain. .

"What do you want, Ninette? Didn't
I tell you not to disturb me (again this
morningr.--1 " " T
Miss Worthington glanced! up from
the novel iu her hand as her maid came
to her side.
Ninette tossed her beribboned head,
and her black eyes snapped viciously.
"I want my money, Miss Worthing
ton!" she said insolently. "You've
put me off times enough! I haven't had
a dollar from yon in three months, and
I'm going to have it now, or there will
be trouble!"
Miss Worthington's face had grown
white as snow. She half arose, then
sank back into her seat again.
"Ninette," she wailed piteeusly,

money! 1 have been frightfully extrav

me a pile of bills to-day, and the mail
contained nothing else. This house

"She is dead!" announced the maid
coolly. "I saw the notice in the morn

who used to call here Mr. Herbert
Stanley he was married to your cousin,
Miss Ray, at the old lady's death-bed.
It was your aunt's request. And that
is not all. Your aunt left a big fortune
all to Mrs. Herbert Stanley and "
Ninette did not finish, for Cora
Worthington lay at her feet in a dead
swoon.
The Worthington mansion was closed,
the creditors satisfied, and a pale,
weary woman, plainly attired, drove
away from the magnificent "home which
would know her no more.
Shortly afterward, in the capacity of
"companion," she sailed for Europe
with a wealthy lady, and lived and
died in her employ.
as you maice your own bed, says
the homely old adage, "so you must
he." And Miss Worthington had paid
dearly for that one false assertion.
"Only a while lie!" the devotee of
fashion will exclaim in remonstrance,
"a mere evasion permitted by society,
and quite pardonable in the eyes of the
world!"

Major W. A. Jones has made his an
nual report on improvement of Oregon
and Washington Territory rivers during I
the past fiscal year: 33,874 has been
expended on the Columbia at the Cas
cades, and $21,823 remains 'available.
Much benefit has already resulted from
this improvement. It is estimated that
$1,750,000 is required to complete the
project, and $750,000 is asked far next

of two years. Its opening, he says, will
have a great and beneficial influence on
the development of this exceedingly
rich and fertile country. The principal
improvements are the flanking of the
upper Cascades with a canal 300 feet
long, and the removal of obstructions to
navigation of the lower Cascades.
T.HE UPPER COLUMBIA.
In spealcing of the proposed improve
ment of thej Columbia river near The
Dalles, Oregon, Major Jones says that
for a distance of about thirteen miles,
commencing a little above that city, the

by means of canals and locks. Such a
project, it is estimated, would coat $11,-
000,000, because of extensive excava
tions ana waus ana gates ot unprece
dented height that would be required.
If we apply this enormous sum at the
rate at which funds have been provided
for the Cascades canal, it will appear
that over one hundred years will be re
quired before navigation can he opened
through this obstruction. '
RAILWAY INCLINES.
Majoi Jones thinks that canals and
locks will ultimately be used for mak
ing the improvement. He, however,
proposes another project for the present,
and says: "I propose to flank The
Dalles and Celilo Falls with railway in
clines, over which laden boats and river
crafts may be hauled by means of ordi
nary engines at the summits, and blast
out the contracted water ways tc
width of 300 feet, which will be sufH
cient to reduce the velocity to a naviga
ble status."
Major Jones says such a proposition
has been advocated at this place tor
years. He estimates the , maximum
grade of the track for the r ail way at
213.84 feet per mile. The cars will
have extra wheels on each f.ide, with
j independent axles, on a two-r i'l track,
j 25 feet and six inches wide. ' The maxi
mum load on a single whe el will la
about seventeen tons. For tl le present
only a single line of track is proposed.
He estimates the cost for such improve
ment at abont $1,250,000.
Major Jones concludes: "I htave pat
this project forward for agitation and
discussion, refraining from recommenda
tion until it has been discaseed and
treated in the usual way."
