Will the future historian be aware
tieth century could write? 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

Those who sympathize deeply with the
' future historian must cultivate the lost
art of letter writing, or walk in the foot
steps of good old Pepys.
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

Eight months ago I was so ill

It mattered little to me what

from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.

it saved my life. I believe many
