A maiden eat beside the sea And turned the pages wearily Of a booklet in her hand, Then threw it on the sand And sighed '"Tis dry as dry can be I" Again she sat upon the sand The selfsame book was in her hand, But she feasted on the line As if it were divine And cried '"Tis charming! simply grand! What can the wondrous secret be This metamorphic mystery? For 'twas on her finger ends. And she wrote it to her friends And even sang it to the sea. Solution. The lense of love had caught her eye Iransforming all the pages dry . To rainbow glory, for you see, The slighted author proved to be Her lover That was why and why. Meditation. The Book of Books is in my hand, Its fame has flown to every land, And above the vengeful roar Of the storm along life's shore Rings an anthem rich and grand. Would you find a treasure when you look, A hidden flower in every nook, Till it blooms from lid to cover, .While a halo hovers over? Fall in love with the Author of the Bookl ALBANY FEELS THEIR LOSS. Albany people unite in a deep sym pathy for those who are in the deep waters of affliction because of the loss of dear ones. The loss is one to the entire city and it is felt intensely. The great heart of the people beats with those who suffer and sorrow. There is the satisfaction of clean, Christian lives lived; but there arc vacant places that no one else can fill just the same way. In the morning we cannot tell what will happen in the evening, and we do well as we pass along to re member this in the conduct of our lives. AN ASSEMBLY FAILURE. The Sage Rooster writes from Eu gene as follows; One of the most gigantic failures in the history of Lane county occurred last Saturday. The large corporation, known as the Oregon Assembly, that had its origin in the Orcgonian office, 1 Portland, called its stockholders andicotld eas;iy spared a couple were officers together at the court house in I taken who have lived exemplary lives Eugene and opened up for business. and ma(le them stand for something in I The roll calledfound only a few pres- conlnulnity. It has always been ' cnt. After an inventory of stock they , tlul. A nower above man. his Maker. got cold feet and adjourned until next September without nominating any of- ficers. Yet the Orcgonian of the 3rd says it was an enthusiastic meeting, anu mac a note oi narmony was sounded. Who heard it? Being from j Mo. please show me. If their feet don't get warmer before September they won't have another meeting. The Primary Co, will absorb the little stock on hand and on Nov. 7 they will go into bankruptcy for lack of in terest and support. In September they will probably send for Harvey Scott, Fulton, Judge George and oth ers to help boost for the assembly. OUR CHAUTAUQUA. Albany's first Chautauqua is now a reality, developing into life to-day. It has been well advertised, and the rest is left to the people. The program is one full of merit and commends itself to people enjoying clean entertain - mcnt of a high order. It takes time to build up such institutions, and hence the Albany Chautauqua will do well to establish a reputation this year. 1 he out ook is (rood for quite a ntim- bcr from outside, and specially upon special days. Folk day promises lo , The Chautauqua gives a community rhar.ieter una tins is nf itself worth nil it will cost the people of the city. But the Albany Chautauqua will do more, Our people will have the experience and will know just how the Chautau qua wind blows, so that next year tlipy will be in a position to put it solidly on its feet, something that counts. The great point is thAt the Chautau- qua is a good lung and deserves he shall make it a financial, as well as an entertaining success. Lebanon, Tho Critorlin: Mrs. J. W. McDougal, of Mt Tabor, wife of the pastor ot the M. E. church at that place, has boon visiting at the home of Muyor Reeves this week. Mrs. Barney Micheals, has been in the St. Mary's Hospital in Albany, the past week, as the result of threatened blood poison from a cut on ono of her lingers a week ago. Lee Bilyeu has purchased ICO acros of the Saltmnrsh farm, across the rivor, from J. It. 1'our.d, anJ in part payment has traded to Mr. Pound his half intor est in the livery stable at Scio. j Rev.

The above are excellent pictures of President Ellis and Secretary Stru ble of the Albany Chautauqua, made by an Albany young man, Tommy Beard, and hence of particular interest, as the product of home talent al ways is. President Ellis and Secretary Struble have done splendid work in putting the Chautauqua on its feet, well backed by Manager Stewart and the different committees, particularly the finance committee under L. E. Hamilton, and the grounds committe e under J. S. Van Winkle. SATURDAY NIGHT' THOUGHTS. , There have been thousands of mors 1 i i important mings uuppcncu umiug ww week than the Johnson-Jeffries fight; but nothing that attracted more atten tion. This rooster had full sway. The lessons are: The business is a debas ing one, as conducted. It is a great gambling affair. A man must take care of himself to be a consistent pugilist, the same as anything else. Alter hve years ot Dooze a man can - not regain his agility and strength. There is no come back for him. Had leltries taken care oi nimseu ne should have been a better man than when he retired before; but when a man takes off seventy pounds of bloat he cannot expect to have the vim and nerve he formerly possessed. The science of boxing is a good one; but modern pugilism is a disgrace, and the state does well that stops it. Of course Mir. Roosevelt has been heard from this week, and will be next. Though not in politics he has been mixing tremendously, materially affecting affairs, taking a stand with the insurgents and upon the direct primary. His independence is cer tainly to Dc admired. Oregon has been full of assembly talk, boosted up by men wanting the old boss system restored. But the modern idea has come to stay, gov ernment by the people; and bulldozing methods will not change it.

The Chautauqua as- sciuuiy in aisu a yrciu entertainer, line of a high class, doing a great work that cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.
