Leach, editor of the small paper here, who was ordered out of town by a committee of citizens because he had lent editorial support to the Industrial Workers, of the World, who are reported to be pro- paring to invade Bandon, waa put aboard the steamer Coquille and ac companied by a committee of Bandon business men, forwarded to Coquille. There were no sympathizers to ob ject to the deportation of Dr. Leach, and he was a sorry figure, alone and friendless. Practically the entire citi zenship was present to witness his de parture and the steamer Favorite, also loaded with business men, accompanied the delegation to Coquille. COL. M. M.

His statement that he only spent $20,000 a yeaf for ten years in buying up senators, representatives and Btate leaders is an astounding rev elation of amateurism. The association should have sent him to school to John P. Archbold years ago. Mr. Archbold could have taught hun something of real values. Was it not Foraker who badly needed $16,000 in one year and got it! That was the way to do it, so long as you do not write letters about it and carefully preserve the cofiies for future use of amused editors and investigation com mittees. Colonel Mulhall must have been a pa thetic figure, going about buying up page boys and janitors. Mr. Archbold' could have told him that he could not influence an Indiana congressman with six cocktails for any usoful, im mediate purpose. Mr. Archbold could have explained to him tho futility of luring senators into five and ten-cent stores in dazzling efforts at tompta tion. No wonder he was discharged. Take a .big, long telescope: look through the wrong end of it at the Standard Oil Company, and you will see the Notional Association of Man ufacturers. That is about the gist of Colonel Mulhall's "confession." The colonel himself looking through the wrong end of tho telescope, would not be visible to the humnn eye. But one cannot help sympathizing with the colonel in his efforts, if it is true that he is really being sued for $5000 for only half of his "confes sion."

San Francisco, July 12. Champion Willie Ritchie grinned Friday when told that Joe Rivers, in explaining his de feat to his friends claimed that some thing went wrong with him during the fight. "If anything went wrong with Riv ers," said Ritchie, "it was due solely to my right fist. As for his claim that he can beat me, nothing would suit me bettor than to fight him every day in the week, and I would not ask 18,000, either." Behold him now, an old and hopeless wreck, Who labors there with anguish on his mush, And stands each youthful Cub upon his neck And makea them look like rummiet from the bush. And as we watch him make them look like dubs We grieve because his lot in life is tough. They canned him when a member of the Cubs. The poor old cripple wasn't good enough.

With the passing of the "parlor," the American housewife has been brought up against a new situation. And the "parlor" seems to be a thing of the past. In the house with preten sions to comfort and homeliness tho room which takes its place is called the living room; sometimes it is called the drawing room, more after the fash ion of England, although it is a simple room where the family and guests fore gathor from morning to night. The only objection to the passing of the parlor is that nowadays in many houses there is no small room always in order where guests may be received. The idea of receiving them in the family living room is good in many ways; but a certain desire for privacy makes it unpleasant to receive some persons in the room which is the very nucleus of the family's life. BY DOBOTHY DIX. A poor, foolish woman has written me a letter about a great reform that she wants to see inaugurated. She pro poses to abolish age by denying that any such thing exists. She says that the lives of many wo men are made wretched bv the thought of growing old, and that thousands of women ruin their health and bring on nsanity by worrying over their age. To prevent this (jatastrophe she would have a law passed preventing the pa pers publishing anything about age, and forbidding people to ask each other how old they are, or to speak of age in any manner whatever. In fact, she would make age the one taboo subject in the world, and she thinks that the result would be that everybody would be young and happy and kittenish. I'm sorry that I can't undertake to push my correspondent's reform along, but I can think of nothing more horri ble than a world in which everybody was young and foolish, or aping the manners and the appearance of youth. It would be like a picture without any softening shadows, like music without any minor chord in it, like a day that was all garish noon without any pur ple haze at twilight. It takes age to ripen humanity, to give it flavor and sweetness, just as much as it does wine, and the Bocioty of the intelligent man or woman of 50 or 60, who has seen and known life, Is as much superior to that of the boy and girl of eighteen or twenty as the vintage of 1863 is to that of 1912. Naturally, all of us dosire to keep young in the sense of keeping our bodies vigorous and our minds alert, but, barring that, what have we to foar from the years? Why should we so dread tho coming of aget Especial ly why should women worry about growing old until they reach the point of distraction, as my correspondent avers that they dot If a woman has been a raving, tear ing beauty, we can understand her agony at age robbing her complexion of its fairness, her hair of its luster, her oyos of their brightness. But not one woman in a thousand is a living picture, and it is an actual fact that the great majority of women are bottor looking as middle-aged ma trons than they were as Klrls. Often and often ago is tho sculptor that chisels rough features into syrnmotry or gray hairs soften a hard faco into comeliness, and many times just tho fere expression of goodness on an old woman '8 countenance gives her a beau ty that her youth never knew. It's the soul that wo seo as pooplo grow, old, whilo it's only the flesh we behold in their youth. As for being interesting, certainly all tho advantage goes with age. Near ly every young girl is a bore to talk to. She haB no conversation worth lis tening to, because she has not had time to read anything, or see anything, or havo any experience of life. You can amuse yourself for an hour playing with her as yon would with a kitten with a ball, but after, heaven help PBEY OF INSECTS ABE DESCRIBED BRIEFLY HEBE. That the sting of tho wasp which punctures the nerve centers of a cap tured caterpillar or spider usually para lyzes the creatures into helplessness rather than kills it, is woll known. The victim remains alive in the burrow or cell in which the wasp stores its food for the larvae which will emerge from the egg laid in the same cell. Therefore the newly hatched grub finds ready a provision of living meat instead of de cayed carrion. That "wizard" among entomologists, the venerable Fabre, haB discovered a similar yet even more extraordinary fact, in the history of the glow worm beetle (Lampyris); namely, that it an aesthetizes the prey upon which it it self feeds, so that it may consume it nt leisure, and predigested. This bee tie, whoso brilliant phosphorescence at tracts the eye in the dusk of summer evenings, habitually hunts and seizes upon a certain small snail in order to eat it. The curious thing is that the beetle anaestheizes the mollusk at the first attack, preventing it from escap ing by withdrawing to safety doep within its shell. Upon finding tho snail tho beetle dashes forward, and thrust ing out its sharp, curved mandibles, repeatedly stabs the side of tho body of its prey. After a few punctures the snail becomes insensiblo and remains in that deadened state for three or four hours a time more than sufficient for the beetle to complete its meal. Inde pendent yon if yon have to depend on her for companionship! On the other. hand, practically every middle-aged woman is interesting be cause, no matter how stupid she is, something strange1 and thrilling has happened to her. She has had some ex perience unique to herself. She has touched the great problem of human existence at some new angle. She has taken her part in the tragedy' or com edy of life, and has at least one story of absorbing interest to tell. Age also means to the average woman the playtime of life, and in this coun try it generally brings with it com forts and - luxuries. The early years of most American married women are strenuous ones. They are busy bringing up their children and working and economizing; trying to help their hus bands get a Btart in the world, but by the time they are fifty years old their task is done, and they are ready . to spend the balance of their lives en joying the fruits of their labor. Look over the middle-aged women at any matinee or any woman's club gatnenng and you Bee about as com- . fortablp, well-fed, well drossed, hap py and satisfied looking a set of peo ple as you will find anywhere on earth. They are women enjoying tho fat years after they have passed through the lean years. Yon will find mora middle-aged women riding in automo biles than you will young ones. You will see more middle-aged women than young ones at the theater; you will meet more middle-aged women than young oneB when you travel. And this is as it should be. The young women are at tho worktime of life. The middle-aged ones have done their day's labor and are taking their ease. They are at tho best time of life, and if they are worrying any about thoir lot they certainly don 't show it. There was a time when age had terrors for the woman who did not marry and when to be an old maid waa to be the butt of ridicule or fools That timo has passed. Instead of be ing an object of pity or scorn, the old maid is the subject of envy and admir ation. She has her place in the world, her interests in life, hor mission to humanity, and all that age brings her is the bon of greater freedom and of wider liberty than iB possible to the young girl. Thore was never a timo in tho world's history when ago meant as little to women as it does now, and that they appreciate this Is shown by the fact that yon seldom hear tho sub. ject discussed, or soo a woman who objects to telling how old she is. There, are so ninny moro things of interest now than the fountain of porpetunl youth that we've ceased to hunt for it. At any rate, we are all wise emiogh to know that nothing stops the clock. It goes on ticking off birthdays Wheth er we lio about them or not, and tho only thing to do is to mako the best of it. Time is only an enemy to wo man when she makes it so. When she accepts it (to "a friend it brings her the choicest blessings of lifa Motherhood The Blchest Man In the World.

Olrls of seventeen are not .as a rule, given to serious thought. Even marriage at sixteen soldom awakens tho real woman in a yeax, But there are rare exceptions. Such an exception has been found ia. a young wife of seventeen, who is sud denly aware that she is to becomo a mother in four months time. Now sho is filled with awe and with anxiety! She says: "I have always had an idoal of exorting a good influ ence over an unborn child; and now I am distressed to think that all theso months have passed without any con scious effort on my part. I have played ball, swum and indulged in othc- ath letics according to my regular custom. And in leisure moments I have mad Milton and Shakespeare and Burns. 'I am splendidly well, but I am most anxious lest I have done things t ought not to do, and left undone other things at this critical time. 'What can I do for the next few months to bonefit my unborn child?" The very best thing this young mother oxpectant can do is to exorcise with moderation, rest when she feels like It, oat and drink with moderation and wisdom, and be happy and trust Uod. Motherhood is the most natural thing in the world for women who aro nor mal and in good health. It often produces a normal healthful condition for those who are not woll. Nature never intended any woman to utterly change her mode; of lifo when expecting a child, if her modo- of life had been a reasonable and sensible one previously. Outdoor lifo and athletics are both reasonable and sensible, and miiro harhi would havo resulted to both moth er and child by giving them up sud- lenly and taking too great concern about a porfoctly natural condition than by continuing to indulgo In theso pastimes as long as this young woman did. No doubt tho coming child will be strong in body, with excellent lung power. And Its coming into this plane of existence will not be attended with any abnormal difficulties. We must remember that the Iudiua , woman rideB her horse and performa all sortB of laborous tasks up to the very hour of her delivery. The wife of an army officer told th writer of frequently seeing such women drop out of lino for a few hours and re turn to the tribe later with tho new born child wrapped in a blanket. All women who live an outdoor life and who exercise in the opon air have less complications in maternity than those reared under hothouse conditions. This young mother of seventeen, who takes such a serious view of her re sponsibility, is certain to bring a strong, beautiful child into tho world, and equally sure of guiding it into a splendid maturity. She need only fill her mind with love thoughts and with faith in God, and trust in the unseen powers which gov ern this parth, to have all go woll with her. In Qod's great universe there are guardian angels provided for every mortal, and in such degree as we love and reverence these angels, and as we live worthy of them, do' thoy guide ami help us In our difficult hours. If we refuse to believe In them, or continually think and talk and act in a way to pain them, we alienate them and deprive them of their power to help us. About the expectant mother aro bands of shining ones, and If she will rest happy in the thought of thoir pro tection and regard thorn as messengers and emissaries from Ood himself, great strength and peace and happinoss will come to her. And great blessings upon her child. For of such aro the kingdom of heaven. Rome day, also, thero will be less of .'icedless and nerve-racking noises.
