FULTON WILLJT ACCEPT Ex-Senator Intimates That He Does Not Want Chinese Post. Ex-United States Senator Chailes VV. Fulton has reaohed Portland from Washington and is considering f utare plans. The senator would not disooss the probability of his accepting the ambassadorship to China, wbioli has been offered him by President Taft. "I will have to announce my decis ion within a 'snort time," he said "but I do not consider that it would be courteous for me to say what that de cision would be nntil after I bad noti fied the president of my inteotion. I am to make my deoision within 10 days from the time tne president ten dered the position to me, and I will do so, but until I have notified him I can make no statement as to my plans." "It is my intention to locate in Port laud and practice law," the senator said. "Provided, of course, that I deoide not to aooept the appointment tendered me," he added. "More than a year ago I said that it was my in tention to move to Porltand and be gin again to piok up my law praotioe, necessarily negleoed during my servioe iu the senate. That is still my intention." .Foither than that the senator would not discuss his plans for the fqture. From many friends, however, the consensus of opinion is gleaned that the senator has no iuteutiou of accept ing the appointment. He has long ago deoided to move to Portland. They 'Contend, and the appointment has no advantage to him. These friends argue that should be accept the ap pointment he would at its expiration be in the same relative condition, as to biS personal interests there, as be is at the present time, with the added dis advantage that he would be several years older. It is to his interest, the prophets contend, for him to remain in Poitland and build np his personal business. Senator Fulton bad nothing to say regarding the federal judgeship. "I am satisfied with the outcome," was the only lemark he made. It. is t be senator's plau to open a main office in Portland aud move his residence there. He will at the same time continue bis Astoria office, leav ing bis brother (3. C. Fulton, in charge there. It is believed that tbe senator will have opened bisjnew offloe in Port land by May 1.

A little work, a little sweating, a few brief, flying years; a little Joy, a little fretting, some smiles and then some tears; a little resting In the shad ow, a struggle to the height, a futile search for Eldorado and then we say goofi night. Some moiling In the strife and clangor; some years in doubt and debt; some word's we spoke in foolish angsr that we would fain forget; some cheery words we said unthinking that made a sad heart light; the banquet, with its feast and drinking and then we say good night. Some questioning of creeds and theories and 'judgment of the dead, while God, who never sleeps or wearies, is watching over head; some little laughing and some sighing; some sorrow, some delight; a little music for the dying and then we say good night "Walt Mason In Em poria Gazette. Syringo Bearing Firemen. A studious reman looked up from his book. "In place of all these here electric engines, automatic chutes and so on," he said, "the only instrument they had to fight fire with in the seventeenth century was the syringe. Under the roof of every building that they thought worth saving like cathedrals and such there were big tanks to catch the rainwater, and beside each tank hung a syringe a yard long. Then when a fire came squirt, squirt, they went with their syringes, and the building quickly burned down to the ground." New Orleans Times-Democrat. One en the Court Jester. Timon of Athens had Just been mar ried. As he wafted down the aisle of the chapel with his bride the court Jester cried: "Walt, Tlmon. I would have a word with you." The misanthrope turned. Here was the one chance of his life for a quip. "Tlmon tied waits for no man," he said. "There, now; I'm square with you." And he drifted out the portal. Exchange. c7W. E. CHURCH SERVICES.
