Cities like individuals, have traditions. They also have reputa
tions. Certain things arc expected of them, and certain things are
not. If it had been Mr. I'onzi of Manhattan, there would have been no
slioekin' incongruity, for Uet-Kich-tuick-Wnlliiijifords, of foreign
extraction, are expected along Broadway. If it -had been Miss Smith
of Chicago or Kansas City, t lie front page would never have titillated.
But vampires in Oklahoma, the stamping ground of train robbers, war
dances, and wholesome barbarity. The thing isn't or wasn't done.
And now comes dear old Mother Portland, the last refuge) of con
servative propriety and prosaic rectitude. If it had been John K
Elheridge of SanTrancisco, the (lay l'aree of the I'aeifie, or Seattle,
where most of the exclusive dowagers are said to have graduated from
Klondike music halls, the scandal might have been endured, but from

Clackamas, a life tenure pew in Grace Memorial, not to mention all

to expect anything of anyone, anywhere, anytime.
For ibis is an age of disillusion. The world is shaking herself into
n new alignment anil the prudent course, is, for a time at least, to
lake nothing on faith. No matter where the nickel comes from, bite
it. No matter what the past may lead you to expect, keep an open
and unhiased mind when you face the future. . " ' j '
For with Hackbay, the bucolic frontier and the Hose City, sub

So all in all good may be expected from this discovery of a skele
ton in Mother Ilubbards cupboard. The air of self-righteous supe
riority may become less oppressive along the banks of the AVillam
i tie. Portland, no longer able to live on its reputation of.supcr-rc-speclability,
may have a warmer sympathy with the black sheep of
the coast and the,stiite. And that will be a good thing. For a stiff
jolt in the amour propre is just as salutary for self-satisfied munici
palities as individuals. And though we don't know just where that is
we are' confident it is in that general 1'egion, that J'ortlantt Is at, pres-.

may retire at fil'ly, and have a bully time. (Jul here I'm
abiding the old-hoys come to play; I see them gayly riding along
the pike all day. I see their nutos trundle- and cheer them as they
pass; each old boy has his bundle, and can afford the gas. I
count them by the dozen, these old boys come to play, whose gor
geous boats go buzin' along the asliphalt way. They toiled and
wrought like thunder in days of auld lung syne; they gathered
in the plunder and put it down in brine; they pressed against
their collars in busy days of yore, and earned the useful dollars
and nailed them to the floor. And when their locks were gray
ing, they had their store of wheels; they said, "It's time for play
ing and kicking up our heels. For years we have been thrifty;
no more we'll put up ice; declining years seem nifty, when old
boys have the price." My blessings will pursue them as they go
past, my door, but other old boys view them with spirits sad and
sore; old boys who Kl ill arc slaving, to' earn the meagre kale, be
cause they side-stepped saving when they were young and hale.

THE BANE of old age is constipation. The bow

functions without aid. For this purpose only
the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used.
The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble
and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's
