MOUNT RAINIER.

Hall, Mount Rainierl When God did thee create,
The noblest Landmark OF noble state,
He did not heed. or overlooked the fate
Which fain would crown thee with ignoble
fame.
Were II not 30, where now thou standest great
Would be gaping wound in this great struc-
lures frame,
Rather than thou shouldst bear brazen har-
lots name,
Thy history profaned-forced votary of shame.
But fear not, fair Rainier. although thou stand.t
alone
silent sentinel, the frost kings icy throne,
Thy fame TO mar, to steal thy name shall none,
Not cen the god of frost such empire holds
DER thee,
Although lie makes his bed thy virgin zone,
And all Tacoma's feeble wiles, her name to see
Enobled by thy lofty fame, shall scorned be:
Rainier thou shalt remain to all eternity.

T.. J.. Godkin.
1t seems to be forgotten that the pater-
nal system of government, in which what
is called "the state" plays the part of an
earthly parent to the individual, has been
tried on an extensive scale in various
communities and at various periods of the
worlds history, and with very poor sue
cess. | grant that 1t has not been tried
under conditions as favorable as those
which now exist. The experiment may
now be made with greatly improved adj
ministrative machinery, with minute as
well as wide knowledge of economic facts
and tendencies, and under the watch of
a powerful public opinion. But, on the
other hand, the state has lost completely,
in the eyes Of the multitude, the moral
and intellectual authority it once poss-
essed. 1t does not any longer represent
God on earth. In democratic countries it
represents the party which secured most
votes at the last election, and is, in many
cases, administered by men whom no one
would make guardians of his children or
trustees Of his property. When l read the
accounts given by the young hons of the
historical school of the glorious future
which awaits us as soon as we get the
proper amount of state interference with
our private concerns for the benefit of the
masses, and remember that in New York
1.-THE stat" consists of the Albany legis-
lature under the guidance of Governor
Hill, and in New York city of the little
Tammany junta known as the "Big Four"
L confess | am lost in amazement. ask
myself, how can anybody who attacks the
old school with such vigor for its indiffer-
ence to the facts of daily life be so COM
pletely oblivious of that most patent fact.
that the capacity of the state for lnterfer-
ing with the people proitably has not
grown in anything like the same ratio as
the popular intelligence, and that there is
nothing in which modern democracy is
showing itself so deficient as in the pro-
vision of inspecting machinery-that is.
in securing the faithful execution of it's
plans for the promotion of popular COM
fort?

EVERY WOMAN
Should be Beautiful

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and a celebrated
writer in a medical journal says:
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and use properly made
need not, any more than the proper
use OF a perfume, displease any one,
while it can not be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN IS NEAT AND CAREFUL
ABOUT HER PERSON AND HOLDS A JUST
PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HERSELF. In
the use of toilet preparations it is
easy to distinguish the well-bred from
the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush
Medical College and P. A. surgeon
u. S. NJ. H. S., writes without re-
serve on a kindred subject. What
he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.
w. NJ. WiSdom-Dear Sir: As
you requested, l have examined the
formula of your toilet preparation
called Robertine. l can assure you
that the ingredients are both bland
and harmless, and that the compound
would form an excellent application
in irritated conditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the
perfection" in a toilet article. Once
tried, always used-such is its history.

appointed and handsome structure, without
single performance being missed in the interim.
In September, 1890, Mr.. Cordray came to Seattle
and within two months transformed the old
barn-like structure, occupied bv Toklas, Singer
man Co. after the fire, into one of the cosiest
theaters on the Coast The Seattle, like the
Portland house, is connected with a spacious
auditorium hall, in which a sparkling pro-
gramme is rendered nightly, as prelude to the
performance in the theater The expenses of
the houses in both cities average Sl4, 900 per
month, 100 names being on the pay roll. Man
ager Cordray Is at present contemplating new
enterprises in the amusement line, which will
develop in the near future. The career OF Mr..
Cordray illustrates what pertinacity of purpose,
combined with energy and business sagacity,
can accomplish, and the liberal support ex-
tended him in both Seattle and Portland by the
best element of amusement lovers shows that
his efforts are appreciated and that his methods
are founded on correct principles.

has his eupidity aroused by the discovery that
the invention ia OF incalculable value, and dis
poses of the boy and his claims by sending him
out to a Swede family In Dakota, where he is
brought up. The girl Jennings adopts himself.
BY curious whrligig OF fortune Yon, now
grown to be man, comes in contact with Jen-
nings and the young girl in the lumber country
OF Northern Minnesota, where jennings and his
partner, Holloway, have gone to consummate a
land deal with young Englishman whom il is
their intention TO defraud. Yon does not know
that the girl in his sister, aud the development
Of the plot places both IN number of interest
Ing and dramatic situations. Advanced in
years and shattered in health. Jennings tries to
draw out of the scheme to defraud the English
man, but his partner uses his knowledge of the
sawmill fraud to compel the old man to con-
tinue as his aceomplice. Jennings and Har-
court, the Enslishman, go to inspect the land,
when the latter discovers the attempted fraud.
In the alteration that follows Jennings strikes
the Englishman down and leaves him apparently
dead. Holloway learns that Harcourt has left
his money in charge of his young nephew and
attempts to secure it. In the struggle the boy
becomes insensible and Holloway, thinking he
has killed him, throws him upon the lumber
jam, frees the key log aud sends the logs with
their victim whrling down stream. The boy is
rescued at a critical moment by Yon and carried
safely down stream and out of the way OF the
dangerous mass of logs. The effect of the
breaking jam is startling in the extreme and
the thrilling rescue is always received with
thunders of applause. In the last act Jennings
confesses the truth to his adopted daughter
brother and sister are united, and Grace and the
Englishman fall in love. The play has a natural
comedy ending.

$4,000 has disappeared. ShepIey had with mer-
ciless cunning prevailed on Walter TO fly during
the night in order TO escape the wrath OF his
father when the knowledge OF his losses was
fmuarted, and to completely ruin the young
man Shepley had caused the robbery to be
made. His plans worked successfully for the
aristocratic old general stouiiy forbade the
