Beautifully Said.

II is matter Of regret that We are
unable to give the name OF the author
OF the following beautiful excerpt.
The heart that prompted it must have
felt some Of those bitter trials which
chasten the spirit and make it respon-
sive to others woes. All, could We see
the inner life OF many OF Gods crea-
lures who arc chilled nigh unto death

soul would go out in sympathy; how
quickly, how gladly, the words would

alleviate the pangs Of despair The
writer has done service in touching
the heart with the gentle finger of
Pity 30 ably and so we'll.

it is easy to feel as if nothing could

good things in it. Yes, many a son

The action of the Board of Trade at
its last meeting, in appointing a stand
ing committee on immigration and
correspondence, is a move in the right
direction. Our real estate owners and
business men should fully cooperate
with the committee in having Thurs
ton county and Olympia fully adver-
tised to the world. Every owner OF
realty, whether in the city or country,
is, or should be, interested in the
movement. The names of the com
mitteemen should be scattered broad
cast over the East, and the committee
itself well supplied with reading mat
ter, accurately setting forth the grand
natural advantages of both Olympia
and the contiguous country.

Story of Pythian knighthOud

The presence OF the Knights Of
Pythias III our city recalls the beautiful
story upon which the order is founded.
Pythias had been condemned to
death, and, as The hour ior the cxecu-
ton arrived, asked for lew hours res
pite to see hi, loved ones once more
before death should part them forever.
Upon this being denied him, his friend,
Damon, appeared before the tyrant
Dionvs;ous, and offered himself as
hostage, conserving to he executed in
Pythias' stead, in case the latter did
not return AT the appointed hour The
king accepted the hostage, and Pythias
FASTENED to his family. On his return
to he executed, a heavy rain, as the
story goes, had swcllcd the streams,
bridges were swept away and the rivers
became raging torrents. He plunged
himself into the floods, swan the cur
rents, and, as he approached the scene
OF execution, saw his friend Damon on
the scatiold. ready to die for him. The
cries Of Pythias attracted the atten-
ton of the execu,ioner, and Damon's
life was spared. This example of true
friendship was SO forcihly presented to
the tyrant, that he gave Pythias his
freedom, and The story forms the
ground work Of that noble Order o! the
Knights OF Pythias. Of late years the
order has had a rapid growth, extend
ing to most parts OF the world. Be
sides the three ranks of Page, Esquire
and Knight. which constitute Pythian
| knighthood. there has been instituted
Uniform Rank, which partakes OF 4
military character, and an Endowment
Rank, which offers the privileges OF life
| insurance to members, at small cost
ATTENTION is now being attracted tc
OLYMPIA in manner that is truly en-
couraying to those who sometime age
located here. From the very nature
OF its surroundings, the intelligent oh
server discerns Il busy city here in the
future This fact has inspired many
with hope, and they cast their fortunes
at Olympia. Now that the Territory
is budding into Statehood, business
in all our towns and cities will lose
much of the speculative spirit and
from now on, be Il substantial. healthy
growth. This state OF things will
greatly augment the IN e IS o.
Olympia. 1t only remains Tor us tC
lose no opportunity to set forth ouI
advantages. Every citizen can dc
something. Although Olympia is an
old town, Washington Territory is yet
new, and the metropolis OF 1900 is YET
to be made The newcomers are
fully imbued with the disposition tc
push Olympia toward the front. Let
the old residents catch the spirit and
the grand future that they, with sc
much hope, predicted for the city will
be fully realized.

Worthy of American Support.

The Nicaragua Canal should receive
the full and unreserved aid and COM
fort Of the whole people Of the United
States. In view Of the conspicuous
failure OF the French at Panama, our
people should feel pride in seeing
the Nicaragua Canal pushed to COM
pletion without hitch or pause. AS,
however, those of our people who
have the most coin-the money kings
of the east-are those most likely to
be moved by pride Of country, it will
be we'll for them to consider that the
completion of the canal is a matter Of
necessity for the national defense, in
case of war with first-class European
power. Also-and this will probably
have more force with some than any
other consideration--the completion
OF the canal will give the large cities
of the Atlantic seaboard command of
the trade of all the Central American
States. 1t will afford the means of
reaching the great and growing re-
gions of those countries on the right
side of the continent, and in a very
short time without any of the risks
and dangers of Cape Horn Enter
prise.

Born.

The editor of the Truckee Republi-
can is happy. His wife presented
him with baby girl on the 9th in
slant, and this is the way in which he
greets the little stranger:
For some time past the editor Of
this journal has been bordering over
the question Of how to get up an
unique observance Of Admission Day.
The head of the household could not
fix upon any suitable plan, but
woman's ingenuity came to the rescue
just in the nick of time. At an early
hour Monday morning the editors
wife presented for admission into the
family circle, Native Daughter of
the Golden West, weighing over nine
pounds. The new member was al
United with Joy and thanksgiving,
and the 9th day Of September had a
double significance in the editorial
household. The girl is probably the
best and incest one in the world and
we write this in purely unprecedented
state of mind. Still the world seems
rather small alongside of that baby
and we realize that the title of papa
has an ennobling and dignified effect
All three of us are getting along
splendidly.
