A Study in Advertisements.

There is food for reflection in a
couple of advertisements which ap-
pearside by side in a contem porary,
which read, with the commission OF
address, as follows:
"Wanted-Young lady in publish
ing Office; quick writer; 81 a week.
"Wanted-An experienced girl for
general homework in family of seven
assisted about washing: wages 81 !"
It will be observed that the rate of
compensation is. the same in both
these cases, but that while the lady
receives simply 81 per week the Eek
perienced girl gets in addition her
board and lodging. Whittier gen
tility-the word most beautiful ex-
presses the thing!-is worth what it
costs must seem at least an open
question when the rate is so high. =

il Sad Situation.
New York Fashion Bazaar.

New York Fashion Bazaar
/ remember being taken by my
mother when was. child to see a
poor woman wE1o was dying of a can
Ger. The disease was eating its way
to a vital part and her doctor had
given her a month as her utmost
limit of life. She was preparing for
her 9l end IN a way that seemed practi-
cal and prosaic enough, but that
struck me as pathetic in it's self-for-
getfulness. She was sitting up in bed,
with a basket beside her, finishing up
the family mending, showing her
eldest daughter-on whose thirteen
year-old shoulders the burden of
household care was soon to fall-hoW
to fell down seams in the little
brothers knee patches and how to
darn the heel Of fathers sock
So that he would never feel
the difference. She had impressed
upon the girl. how to make her fa-
theirs ,favorite potato pone, how to
manage her young sister when she
got into the sulks, what to do for
her father when he had his periodical
fit of cramps-and everything else
she could think Of that would insure
comfort in the humble home she was
leaving. She had all the work planned
which she would do during the short
span Of life that was given to her.
Her burial clothes were folded away
in a drawer with sweet basil leaves
among them. was reminded OF the
incident by reading in a paper recent
ly Of a man in Milwaukee who is pre-.
pairing for something that is even
more terrible than death-insanity
He will be violently insane in a few
weeks, and he knows it. Some time
ago his skull was fractured; gristle
is fast forming about the cracked
edges, which will surely press upon
the brain and make him maniac.
He talks calmly and nationally OF
his approaching fate, and spends
every moment of his brief term of
sanity in making provisions for his
family when he shall no longer be
able to care for them. 1t is situa-
ton worthy the pen of a novelist like
Daudet.

"And now, Joe," Shanks asked,
"Shall we shake hands an forgive?''
Here's my paw on that PROPOSE
tom
Shanks soon recovered, and he and
Joe were always after that fastfriends.
With his new strength came a new
life, and no one in all the ''diggins''
around Savage Gulch showed more
interest in the affairs Of life than he
did. Joe, too, became a different
man, for now that he could look at
his hands and realize that they were
free from murder, he no longer felt
that the world was against him, and
then those memories ofthe old home
and his loving mother kept floating
through his life to add sunshine and
sweetness to it.
In the autumn when the Indian
outbreak came and thepeople of Saw
age Gulch had to fight for their lives,
j oe and Shanks were the first to 90
out, and among all the brave pio-
neers none fought better than old
Shanks.
One day when peace reigned in the
Gulch once more four or five men
were sitting around the saloon when
one asked:
"Joe has quit comm around ter see
the boys, hain't he?"
"Hain't bin since Shanks got sick
last summer replied the barkeeper.
"Him and Shanks seem ter be
mighty good friends" another re-
marked.
"Yas, an Shanks seems like err moth

s'The's somethin' queer erbout tibet
business: boys, but can't tell what
/ it is. Them fellers has both changed
wonderfully. Shanks isspry es er kit

There was a great change. but no
one in Savage Gulch ever knew the
secret of it.

tics In the Now Arid Regions.
SAN FRANCISCO, May z, special.-At q
meeting oi the executive com nittee OF the
stae board to-day Senator Stanford, Sena.
tor Stewart OF Nevada ex Governor Per
kins, Congressman Morrow and other
prominent men were present. The sub.
jpct OF 'be reclamation oi the arid lands Of
Western. United States WAS discuss sed
Senator Stanford said the importance OF
the arid land project 'nnot be- over esti-
mated. The region ex'ends from Mexico
to British Columbia with width OF twelve
hundred miles and the needs OF this dis
triCt would receive nis aid when IL comes
before congress, He knew of the posi-
bilities Tor storage reservoirs similar to The
one near San Diego.
Continuing, the senator said: "These
lands are now useless for settlement by
poor men, and only when irrigated by cap.
ital can they be used tor agriculture
and fur nish homes for millions Of eople.
The work is great one and worth the ex-
penditure Of millions of money. People
East do not understand that this land is
valueless without water
Senator Stewart said The surveys should
be carried out first, and 81 IN O,0UO could he
used III thai manner he appropriation
OF 81 500 00U Will he used only at initial
poinls, where Typographical surveys have
already been mad. People East know
thirds Of the agriculture of the world is
carried ou by means OF irrigation. The
reclamation of arid lands Is less work than
the cultivation Of timber land. In time
these will be the only lands to be secured,
ann the irrigated regions well cultivated
will support and require much larger
population than the unirriRated districts
California, in the senator's judgment, is
capable OF supporting 10000 coo people
There must be adju>i iment end regulation
of irrigation laws The irrigation de cision
regarding the app, opriaIion of river water
IN his state was absurd. Then the senator
explained the irrigation system In
India. The cost OF reclaiming by irrigation
would be about $40 an acre, and the iertil.
ity and pOssihliue- amount to double that
Of unirrissted land, and with proper drain
age irrigation is a. healthy as rainfall.
Congressman Morrow and Colonel j. r.
Irish also loke on the subject. senator

ate comn,ittse wosild accomplish that
which in time would. surprise the whole

OREGON Cry, May 8, Special Robert
S ewait tried to cross the Willamette river
above the falls here to-day In u row.boat
against the warnings Of q number OF men
on shore. The. current rapidly sucked
bin down. He was seen to push the oars
down as II trying to reach the bottom,
apparently realizing that It was useless. he
drew the oars IN, went to the stern OF the
boat, got down in the bottom and clutched
the sides with both hands. The boat
was now drifting stern down, and
had reached the brink of the tails near
the middle OF the river. 1t was seen
for moment In this position, then took
last plunge into seething mass below.
The boat was recovered short time after
bottomside up, but slightly damaged, with
one oar still IN The boat. Stewart was q
stranger hare and no one seems to know
who he WAS or where he came from. From
the compsny'- time book his name is
learned 10 be Robert Stewart. The recov-
cry of the body Is very doubtful, as 1t 10
useless TO think Of looking In such q place.
He might at any time before striking the
middle OF the river easily have saved him
self, and 1t can only be- concluded that he
either did not realize the danger or else
realized 1t entirely, lost selI.control and
presence OF mind and 30 rushed on to bis
terrible fate.
