At the hospital where she was taken. heroic efforts to determine the causes of her condition met with little success.

Neurologists alid pathologists tried to diagnose the girl's condition, but could not. Spe cialists of nearly every fncdlcal follow ing were called in, but they arHved.at n0l conclusions as-to the cause of the coma or its proper diagnosis. t It was ven suggested that some on had hypnotised her and efforts to throw off such a spell were made, but to no purpose. Her temperature Increased rapidly. She became emaciated and fin ally stopped .breathing after having slept continuously for twenty days.

BUT NOT ENFORCED NECESSITY OF LAW AGAIN APPARENT ON LONG WINTER NIGHTS MANY - CHILDREN OUT LATE. ' ""Curfew does not ring tonight, nor ha it rung any other night for a long time, notwithstanding the fact that a law stands upon the records f the City of Salem commanding that its . tones shall, at. 8 o'clock each evening, warn from the streets the children under a certain age. and cause them to seek their homes. -'- ': i t ..1 : t The Curfew ordinance"" waa passed at the earnest solicitation of the moth ers of this community, and,tbe good ef fect was plainly visible so long as it was enforced. Upon the return of the long winter evenings the necessity for the law is again painfully apparent. and many mothers are prayerfully longing that the conscience of the city authorities would again awaken and rouse them to a sense of their re sport sihility of aiding In preserving tho vir tue and the morals of the youth of the community. . - . . s i -j It is frequently urged, and with Jus tlce. that the great resiponsibilltv s for the moral training of youth lies In the parents and In the home surroundings. but, on the other hand, the seeds of ab solute freedom which we have been sowing, the license to do as- they please which is claimed for the children, the Insistence that parents and persons in control shall use no corporal punish ment or coercive-measures to keep the boys ahd girls under obedient subjec tlon all these Influences tend to breed a laxity of discipline and control, es pecially In the homes of the poor, where ever member Is forced to take a hand In the battle for-food and -. raiment. Consequently, the children take on hab its lounging around the streets, con gregating in groups and absorbing the evil habits which that kind of life brings. The downward course need not be sketched here; it Is too familiar to need picturing. : , , -Children on the streets after 8 o'clock at night are not, there for any good purpose. They should be forced to be at their homes, whether their parents wish it or not. The community,, the municipality, the law, has rights which are in some instances superior to those of parents, and the right to be pro tected from criminal tendencies is one of these intan-es. . There Is no possible excuse for allow ing the Curfew Law to remain a dead letter. All reasonable laws should be reasonably enforced. It Is a premium noon bad citizenship for a city,.; a. state or a nation to allow its laws to be vio lated with impunity. If our city coun cil does not believe the law Is right and proper let it be repealed, no that some other method .of reaching dslr- ed results may be thought of, lmt as long as there is a law its enforcement should be demanded. . -Why is It. anyway, that it is only the law Intended to control criminal ten dencies that is always allowed to re main unrespected? Is the power of the classes who profit by Immorality and vice always so much stronger with our officers than that of the decent and virtuous? Unfortunately, It seems so, even In Salem, under reform adminis tration. CITIZEN. UNCLE'S REINDEER HERB DOCTOR JACKSON REPORTS THAT IT IS STEADILY IN CREASING. WASinNCTON, p.s C Nov. 8. Dr. Sheldon Jackson. -the Bureau of ludu cation chief, who has .charge of Uncle Sam's herd of reindeer in Alaska, has Just returned from a six months' visit to that far-off region. He reports that the herd is In excellent condition, and that It Is steadily increasing in number. There were 1,600 births In the herd last spring, so that the total number of ani mals now under the charge of the Gov ernment amounts to over 6.000. i It has only been about five years since the United States Imported .the first deer from Siberia for . the benefit of the Eskimos. Formerly the natives had little- in the way of steady occupa tion during the winter months. The reindeer were Imported and loaned to them by the Government to give them start in raising herds of their own. Rules were adopted regulating the use of the deer. - An Eskimo is required to serve a five yeaTS apprenticeship under the direc tion of an expert. During that time he learned how to care for the animals in sickness and health, and was instructed in the numerous uses to which j they could be put. At the nd of his five years of service the Government would assign ten or JU teen deer to his charge. permitting him to keep the young that might be born, and returning the orig- nal animate at the end. of a few years. In this way a great many jsmmos have been started in tne business oi herding, and the industry is carried on Just as that o cattle raising" on our Western plains. - , The animals fumlah Twod nd ctotn- ng for ' tne nauvea. a nu. i used as beasts of burden. Last spring Dr. Jackson visited Siberia for the pur pose of buying deer to add to the Alas ka herd. He bought fiftytwo fine ani mals from the Koriaks, natives of Si beria, paying an. average of about Jif apiece." Dr. Jackson says mat tne im- ported deer thrive splendidly In -their j i new home, nnlinr jb inc imirr Kini of food they need in the luxurious Alas ka moss.- - ' v-: .'i-iv Dr. Jackson stopnett some time si Kom on his return home.

THE PRICE : OF SUCCESS" Theme of Eioquent Address Delivered to University f , Students CONGRESSMAN THOS. II. TONGITK DKUOHTS A IjAHGB AND IN TELL.ECTUAU AUDIENCE WITH ABLE ORATION w TO SUCCEED REQUIRES FAITHFUL. WORK. A Itcrure to the students of Willam ette; University was delivered In the chapel at that Institution lat night by Conrressmsn Thomas II. Tonrue. of Hiilsboro. The hall was well filled with Interested students and visitors. and every word of the talented speaker waa' listened to w ith the closest at tention. - , . General W. li. Oilell presiued over Vhe meetingr, and made the opening ad dress, introducing the speaker. The jjeker entered the hall about 8 o'clock and was escorted to the. platform in company with Gov. T. T. Gcer, Prof. J. II. Ackerman and General W. H. Odell. ' " - Congressman Tongue . - delivrred a most able and eloquent address in a style that is peculiarly and individu ally his own, and held his large audi ence In rapt attention mroughout dur ing which time, thirtv-five minutes, the Interest did not tag. and. In con clusion, he was accorded a hearty and spontaneous ovation. The audience demonstrated to the full and beyond a doubt its genuine appreciation of his efforts." - Mr. Tongue took for hto subject "The Price of Success," and, with the earn estness, with which it was delivered one VjTuld see that his arguments were not nly theories, but were backed up by personal -experiences, which tended to make them the more forceful and impressive. The main point and the substance of Mr. ; Tongue's able speech was: "To achieve success In any undertaking re quires hard mental labor." Mr. Tongue said In part: "Success and failure, are familiar words. We utter them carelessly and listen to them with Indifference. Ap plied to many things, the difference between . success and failure is of small moment.. Applied to the lives of men and women, the fullness or their meaning, the extent of the gulf that separate them, "cannot be over estimated. Whether your life IS to be a success or a failure is to each one of you the all-absorbing, over-shadow- ng question. It embrace every other question. The Importance or every step you take In life depends upon Its relation to the pupreme Issue. Success in Its' fullest aense means the fulfill ment of every bright hope; to obtain every laudable desire; to gratify every holy ambition; a life full of honor, usefulness and happiness and thrilled with Joyous emotion. Complete failure means suffering.-degradation, dishonor In life and in death. A strange thing is that in so many ways success v and failure, the good and the. bad and tne indifferent, seems to flourish and-grow side by side and spring from the; 'same condition. ' . -' ' ' i "The man or woman Is rare Indeed whose life can be called one or com plete success or "of complete failure. It Is usually a mingling of both In various and sometimes .equal propor tions. - To obtain the maximum of suc cess witn tne minimum in lauuir, is the problem that confront each one of you. It accounts for your presence nere. The solution of this problem, the llhnportsnt question for you Is. In the maw. in your own hands.

It Is perhaps true, that no be ing of thought or action ever lived who did not leave som Impress Mpbn his time, wi.o did 'not contribute somewhat to the forces that have retarded- or im pelled the world onward.

In the ' supreme quality that makes them truly great, the stars in heavf n are not more alike to the un aided eye. One faculty they alt have. all must have. It is this, more than all else which distinguishes them from their fellows, and without which Ho rn .in ever attained greatness. It Js nothing more and It Is nothing less than the capacity for great work, faculties trained to hard labor, the power to do. Their tastes, their .desires, the clrcum stances that surround them, determine the direction of their power, but the force that imrels them onward Is the trained faculty for hard, effective work, "If Shakespeare had not written. If Washington had not fought, if Ed iron had not invented, who' would h.iv heard of them?. What avail their gen ius? But to write books, to fight, but tles, to develop new .Inventions Is to work, and can be done only by work. A great book, a great battle, a iM-ii'-fl-cent law, a great Invention, is the pro duct only of great labor. ' . "But If genius Is only capacity for great labor, whenfe comes that? How does Its possessors acquire It? ' By la bor, by plodding, by wit. Genius is acquired by work. It achieves Its trl-. umphs by work. It Is work. Mental toil begets mental strength. Mental strength Increases with vigorous use. Mental toil Is, alike, the father the child of mental greatness. There is no royal way. to acquire intellectual. or moral strength. All must attain them in the same manner, must pay the same price, and In the same coin. Inflating the currency will not help you to pro cure these commodities.' Oehiu! not knowledge, It Is capacity, faculty. Knowledge may supply your weapons. the labor of acquiring knowledge will give the faculty to- wield your weap ons. . But knowledge that la poured inrto your open mouth, or that is hung about you like a garment. Is not yours; it Is acquirement without the ower to use M. In the real work of life It will be as useless to you as would be the sword and armor of .Achilles to Mrs. Lease. -You must develop and acquire the strength to wear and wleVl your armor, and you can do It In but one way. You cannot Inherit It. The In tellectual mantle of the father rarely" falls upon the son. , The children of the great seldom have been worthy of the parent. Your own knowledge will supply you with numerous examples. "If Intellectual greatness could be inherfted. what a grand body of men and women the English peerage should be!
