LOOK OUT FOR SMALLPOX.
The appearance ft smallpox in
our neighboring tarn of Heppner,
should serve as a warning to our
people that every precaution should
b ! taken against tb foul disease.
Ail authorities agree on the merits
of vaccination as preventive, and
with the disease within 40 miles
of us, and spreading, and, if all re
ports be true, pretty well distribut
ed all over Eastern Oregon, itwould
appear to be the part of wisdom
for everybody in town to -vaccinated
at once. It don't cost much
and it way prevent an epidemic, to
say nothing of loss of life and dis
figurement of its victims who may
. ultimately recover.
Robert 0. Ingersoll, the noted
agnostic lecturer and writer, whose
death occurred a few days ago, wul
long be remembered as one of the
most gifted word painters of the
century. While a great many con
sider his life and work an unraiti
gated curse to the human race,
there are others who, while they
may not endorse all of his belief
or more correctly speaking, his
unbelief have learned to love the
simple granduer of his word
weaving, among the warp and woof
of which they have gleaned some
of the choicest flowers of rhetoric,
aud the purest pearls of thought
It were useless, at this time to dis
cuss his attitude towards the
established forms of religion. He
disbelieved in them and attacked
them on every occasion with ridi
cule and invective. Many of the
dogmas and abuses which he most
vigorously assailed have passed
away or are, at best, but faint echos
of a past age of superstition and
intolerance, and if his shafts of rid
icule, aye or bolts of blasphemy,
have helped to shatter one relic of
a remaining, useless superstition
who will say that true religion has
suffered by his life and work.
The- shocking tragedy in Port
land last week, in which a young
girl was na ordered in a secluded
spot in one of the parks, whither
- she had gone clandestinely with a
man whom her parents had forbid
den her to go with, should be an
awfut warning to young girls
everywhere. The girl who spend:
her evenings away from home, on
the streets or in the parks, whose
natural waywardness prompts her
to ignore parental restraint or pa
rental wishes, is on dangerous
ground, and while iier life may not
psy an immediate forfeit, as in the
ease of poor Clara Fitch, she may
wreck her life and lose that
which is dearer to the true woman
than life itself her purity, her
honor and her good name.
Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier of
Canada, "swelled up" the other
day while making a bombastic
and belligerent address in the
house of commons and declared
that only arbitration or war can
settle the Alaskan boundary dis
pute, and he seemed disposed to
speir'war" with a big W. The
Canucks would better not get too
funny in this matter. They
would better 'Remember the Spain
of 18 months ago. Dewey is
coming and if our northern neigb
bors get "sassy" be" is apt to fil
lake Michigan so full of them
some morning as to contaminate
Chicago's water supply.
TURN OUT THE GAS.
"Young people of the tow a who
indulge in the dizzy waltz wil
hear with interest that the heads
of Washington and New York soci
etyhave declared that " sitting
out" a waltz will be more fashion
able than dancing the only differ
ence being that you sit instead of
dance. The man's right arm is
around the girl's waist, while his
left hand holds her right. Her
left hand is placed upon his shou
der while her head rests lovingly
upon his bosom and all they have
to do is to sit and listen to tbe niu
sic. Now that is something like.
We have always regarded it as
quite a nuisance to have to gallop
a mile or two to get a hug or two,
A roomful of people sitting around
on sofas hugging to music is our no
tion. This will give the old
rbeumatiey brethren a chance to
wtwvMwf'wrt art WW y'v '""Ml
the dance but for the position, and
while many a man may lose his
appetite for dancing, he has to get
powerful old before he loses his
appetite for hogging a pretty girl."
Ex. On account of the extreme
modesty of editors, coupled with
the fact that the editor's wife in
sists on going to all the dances, we
trust the society leaders will de
clare it to be the correct thing to
have the lights turned out when
the music starts. It is painful to
contemplate the embarrassment
from which the average editor
would suffer, while trying to do
justice to a plump 13-year-old
partner, under the combined glare
of the gaslight and the wife of his
bosom. We beseech you, O lead
ers of swelldom! On behalf of the
modest man, turn down the gas.
Ever see a cyclone, say? Bite
the earth and munch away? Eat
op houses, fences, trees, just as
easy as you please? Get a hustle
on its jaws? Swipe the earth with
fiendish, claws? Hump its back and
take a mo through an orchard just
for fun? From a hill to hollow flit
seeming to get strength from it?
never seen one? Well, I jing! It's
a pesky sort of thing.
Ever seen a cyclone, say? Take
its track and speed away? Switch
its tail, and snort, and bound, just
ike lightning o'er the ground? Get
a swift move on its feet, racing for
the winning heat? Then cavort
ing, up and down, heeding
no laws of the town? Push'
ing everything aside? Out upon a
giddy ride? As though owning all
the track, ever onward, never
back? Never seen one? Well
e wow I It's a buster, anyhow.
Kansas Paper.
"When the daily toil is over,
and the sun is going down, you
are ready then to read the news,
what's going on in town. If you
miss the evening paper, here's a
hint, 'twill make you smile; per
haps you'll find it on your daught
er, for the bustle's Hack m style.
When you wash your face in soap
suds, and you're looking for the
towel, while the soap is getting in
...
your eyes, you start to swear and
howl, wipe your face upon your
sleeve and remember all tbe while
that the towel's hard to locate since
the bustle's back in style. Now
there's no uso getting angry, and it
does no good to swear, if your Sun
day sbtrt is missing and you ve
nothing clean to wear; try you're
hardest to look pleasant, do your
best to wear a smile, and remem
ber when yon miss things, that tbe
bustle's back in style. Ontario
