JENNrs WHITE ROSE.

II was in the sweet June afternoon the busy
housewife sat
All alone save on the hearth rug dozed the sleek
gray household cat;
For the small feet, wont 10 patter on the sPo1
IN hesunny summer weather chased the daisied
meadows o'er
out of doors the noisy swallows twittered I'M
derneath the caves,
And breezy joy had set a-quiver all the ancient
poplar's leaves,
While the shining ripples chased each other
through the tender wheat
And the breath of clover blossoms from the NOW
ing fields came sweet.
In the quaint old garden there we're roses white
and blush and red;
There were ranks Of gay Sweet Williams. and Of
pinks SNOWY bed;
Balm with cups OF sweetest nectar that the va
grant bees loved well,
And o clump of fringy southernwood that gave q
goodly smell
BY the open window, with her mending basket
by her side,
YEARLY the shining needle long the busy house
wife piled:
YEARLY, with many sigh. for Jenny's heart
was out of tune
with the gladness of the sunshine Of the rare
June afternoon.
An, It was the same old story. womans work
was never done!
Always one dull round of labor from the dawn

Weeds were choking up her fiower-beds there

had coveted.
Lost in MISUNDERSTANDING, scarce did Jenny's
listless ear
Catch the sound of Robins CHEEKY whistle and
swift footsteps near;
When . brown hand playfully was laid upon hel
silken hair.
Strokcd it with tender touch. and left white
rose sticking there.
It was but simple white rose, and q brown
hands light caress,
Yet 1t cured SO quickly all her heartache and
her wcariness;
And her eyes grew dim and tender with sud
den, happy rain;
For somehow that white rose In her hair haa
made her young again.
Yes,-hsd she forgottens--it was when the rose
were a-blow,
Robin Of his love had told her in that Lowell
'long ago.
First, with hand a. tremble, stuck white ros
in her silken braid,
And with stolen kiss blush rose OF her fair
young cheek had made.
And the heart of Jenny smote her, for In thos
bright days long gone
hehad fondly thought to toll for Robin should
be joy, and JOY alone
Surely she had proved scarce worthy of tina

Than once more the old-time love light brigh

And she hummed love song softly, while he

EX-Speaker Randall.

The death of eX-Speaker Randall
had been long expected, and the
news was received without surprise.
Mr. Randall was n strong partisan,
and very able parlimentarian, but

sighted official action at the time OF
the disputed election of Mr.. Hayes
and the action of the Electoral Com

which the coarse of many public
men revealed their essential quality
In manner which no subsequent
action could affect.
The appointment of the Electoral
Commission aud the faithful adher-
ence To its action was one of the
most signal proofs Of patriotic good
sense. II was perfectly easy in
many ways and for many persons

such an emergency II was exceed
ingly fortunate for the country that
General Grant was president, Mr.
Tilden the candidate of his party,
and Mr.. Randall speaker of the
house. The character and patriot
ism of all of them were thoroughly
proved, and secured the public
peace. In and out of congress there
was all kinds of ready suggestions
and theories and appeals, aud the
situation was n strain along the
very patriotic fibre of the country,
The conclusion of the contest In
congress came so near the expir-
tl0n OF the actual term Of the presi-
dency, that the result could have
been easily changed by the action OF
the Speaker, II he had followed
the couusels and wishes of the hot
heads OF his party, aud 10y parlia-
mentary delays had prolonged final
action, the ISSUE would have passed
beyond peaceful adjustment. But
MIR. Randall, IA Speaker, kept the
faith, aud the most critical moment
In our history since the shot at sum.

otto service can never be- forgotten In

Jerusalem" by DIR. Hugh A.
Clarke, of Philadelphia, Professor OF
Music of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, was recently produced in that
city. 1t is based upon the old
Hebraic history of i'll fated Jerus-
clam, the first part showing its
greatness and its downfall. The
second part brings the prophetic
new Jerusalem which "eye hath not
seen nor ear heard" The first part
shows the fatality of the old belief
in God of destruction and the sec

ofa God Of Love. Musicians pro-
nounCe the production strong, pure
and truly great nlusically and surely
its lesson of truth is handled in a
mastery manner. The thought of
the work is in keeping with the
highest Of the age, a God of power
gives way to a God of love, and
material grandeur to spiritual gran

as it should on the high ground of
to-day's metaphysical reasoning
that it may bear the test OF its age.

to a fine point. 1t will find its place

Washington-is coming into view
right in the front line and with its
marvellous natural wealth and adj
v8ntages of an enduring quality
will forge to the front and lead all
other states.
The secret has gradually leaked
out that the Willamette valley, and
particularly the country cOmpos-
ing Polk and Marion counties, is
the most worthy of all countries yet
brought to the general uotice, and
I that till within the past two years
the people living here 10 happily and
cOntented have been too modest to
proclaim the merits of the country
to the outside world.
During the rush to the south and
north of them, they have looked on
with an half amazed wonder, never
dreaming in few short mouths the
| charms of this valley would be found
out and attract thousands of people
III search of JUST such an earthly
paradise.
Hardly has this been realized till
it Is also seen that it is the last,
almost, in the United States that
/ has not been crowded full to over
flowing.
There is little need for us to re-
mind men of capital and experience
Of this opportunity, for they are
thinking and acting for themselves.
But we do think it is "a good idea
that the laborIng men and farmers,
the bank clerks and store keepers
and the professional mGn-wh) are
too busy in their practice to give
much thought to financial matters

the masses should look this field
over and make good, judicious in
vestments before it is too late to reap
the full benefit.
We believe that this is an "Oppor-
tuuity of life time" and that it is
unlikely that it will ever again offer
to the masses now living here. OF
course II is possible that some indi-
viduals may drift into some other
locality at the right time to repair
the damage which will have been
done to their finances by procastin-
ating now. We admit that it is
possible, but who wants to run that

II. II. BARNES, PRES.

As early as 1900 Americans were
fully alive To the fact that there was
q value to real estate in and around
cities of this country which old not
attach to that of any other nation in
the world.
The cause of this is easily under
stood when we stop to think that in
al, other countries up to that time
real property belonged largely not
To the individual but to line of in
heritance-a perpetuity that offered
no incentive to acquisition or trade.
At that time all mercantile pursuits
and trades were looked upon as be-
meath the dignity of genteel peo-
pie. and as vulgar adjunct of life
which contributed remotely TO their
comfort. Hence men who dealt in
real estate in q commercial way
were looked upon as little better than
professional gamblers. This did
not apply to agents alUne-fOr they
were little more than scTvants-but
to anyone who was known to be
dabbing in real estate.
Foreigners and descendants of no
bility living in this country could
not perceive that the will of the peO-
ple was the sovereign of this nation,
and that individual was an equal
part of the sovereignty, thus attach
ing to them right or joint owner
ship of the nation whose property
they could acquire and convert by
legitimate means into individual
holdings-absOlutely III their COLI
trol, giving them the right to buy
aud sell as they please. This value
is best realized when we think it was
an opening for the poorer classes
to acquire homes, and with commen-
dable vigor they sought to secure
property as quick y as possible. The
progressive had faith III his govern
ment, in his country and his town,
and when he had secured his home
he added to his holdings and "pro,
vided for a rainy day" by taking ad-
vantage Of his knowledge aud oppor-
tunities and buying piece of
property which he knew someone
would come along and want, and
that, too, within very few years,
and at a price which would net Il
profit. From that day
till now this has been practiced
with profit by the wide awake peO-
pie in every walk of American life.
1t has worked its way across the
from east to west and from
north to south, till nearly every
point in America has had Il period
Of unusual prosperity which OF late
years has been designated by the
name of booms. Several
years ago California headed all COM
petitors and tor several years led the
procession not only of the Pacific
coast but of the entire country.
Hardly had its spirit began to wane
when Washington Territory, with
all the vigor of a dashing youth,
sprang to the front and has led up
to the present time.
Now, however, OrGgon-the happy
