Yes; he will find a few letters which the tooth of time has not destroyed. There will be the court and probate record, tough and unfading, thanks to legal safeguards;and the archeologist will unearth blocks of granite and tables of brass with letters cut upon them. There will be no doubt that those Americans possessed the art of writing; but the great libraries and the repositories of newspapers and mag azines, to which the historian will look for the intimate and accurate picture of daily life, will contain little more than piles of dust, or volumes in which noth iog is legible, and which crumble at a touch. This is the fear of the histor know that books and magazines, as well as the daily papers, are now nearly all printed on paper made from wood-pulp, which is very perishable. Fifteen years is the life allotted to it by some observ era, a period probably too short. From 75 to 100 years will doubtless render any wood-pulp book or newspaper legible, if not too fragile to handle. It is useless to hope for a return of rag paper. It is too expensive. No one can afford to use a material which costs 12 cents a pound when his competitors use one for which they pay only 2 cents a pound. For this reason efforts have been made to induce publishers of representative papers to print a limited edition on a more dur able paper for preservation ; but there are difficulties hard to explain to the layman, yet evident to those who are familiar with modern process; and so nothing has been done. The situation has its compensations. No one who picks up a modern newspaper and glances at the array of crimes, accidents j ' 1 ? v. j: 1 1 ana unsavory goBHij wuicu io uiBpittyeu under "scareheads" can fail to see ono of them.

An interesting fact in all great and riotous uprisings against law and prop erty is that women so often figure in them. This quality of leadership has existed from the time of Joan of Arc to Mother Jones, and from Judith to Car rie Nation there has been no lack of women to assume the initiative and un dertake what men were reluctant to do. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Julia Ward Howe had as large a part as that of many statesmen in beginning and con tinuing our civil war. It is the coupl ing of a highly emotional nature with the deep sincerity of natures more stead fast that makes women so lovable and so dangerous. An editor is a millionaire without money, a congressman without a job, a king without a throne. lie constructs without a hammer or a saw, builds rail roads without rails or spikes and farms without a' plow, lie runs a butcher shop in the journalistic world and deals out brains for cash or credit. The edi tor is a teacher, a lawyer, a preacher; he sends truth out to save souls and gets lost himself. The Duke of Cambridge has been buriod beside his wife, who could not bear his name because she wasn't of royal blood. It is quite clever of the royal family to concede, in thus per mitting the duke to lie in peace at last beside the woman he loved, that royalty ceases at the grave to figure in the pro ceedings. Hibernianism is a flower that .never fades. A New York paper accuses an Irish paper of sayiog, in an account of a burglary, "After a fruitless search, all the money was recovered except one pair of boots." , .,' & Democratic candidates, both the elect ed and the defeated, have nothing to feel grouchy over at their support here in Athena. The twin precincts rolled up a total vote of 811, and they still carry the banner for democracy in Umatilla coun ty. It needed but one more issue of Pen dleton Tribune to have made it a demo cratic landslide. Cole owes his election to the East Oregonion's support. This means that the Tribune cuts no ice. It must be a tremendous Strain on Dodd, afflicted as he must be with Hart (man) palpitation, to be Taylor(ed) by returns from the county precincts,. If the republicans had another Tri bune, their nest eggs would be still few er and farther between. It don't take even a school boy to realize that the Pendleton Tribune is a stuffed prophet. Taylor, Strain and Folsom seemed to have been played favorites iu the race of vote-getting. The country voters carried a banner, on both sides of which read ''local op tion." Obituary. Mrs. Agnes, McKenzie the beloved wife of Alexander McKenzie, was born in Leith near Edinburgh, Scotland, December 10, 1815, and died at Athena June 2, 1904, being 58 years, 5 months and 12 days old. She went to New Zealand and after a residence there of two years came to the United States in 1876. In Walla Walla she met Mr. Mc Kenzie and they were joined in wedlock September 27, 1876. This union was a happy one and they resided on their farm west of Athena until the day of her death. It was here their children were born and reared and she had the satisfaction of seeing them grow up to manhood and womanhood, living faith ful, consistent lives, making home hap py. She with her husband joined the Christian church, of which she was cn honored member at the, time of her death. The immediate cause of her death was excessive fright caused by the shying of the horse which threw her husband form the vehicle in which they were riding. Conscious to the last she passed to the beyond without pain She leaves her three sons and three daughters the rich inheritance of a de voted Christian life, the greatest bless ing a mother can bequeath to her child ren, She was buried from the Christian church in Athena, June 4th, at 11 a. m., the .pastor of the church preaching the sermon. The floral decorations covered the entire grave, showing the high es teem in which the deceased was held. The Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Mc Kenzie is a member, attended the fun eral service to the cemetery in a body. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of the entire community J. W.

Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was 10 weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed w much that my throat ana lungs 'were raw anil anva nounced it Bright s disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had so de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. 1 told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? ' Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to he well.
