cacy of the single tax. sneering at the
proposition to save the farmer from
paying an unjust tax by taxing him
more. To this superficial criticism the
East Oregonian bluntly replses:
Land, regardless Of improvements, %
this dull and bigoted editor of the
Chronicle imagines to be entirely own
ed by farmers while, in fact, the farm
ers is seldom in possession of land
which is not highly improved; there
fore the benefit to be derived from tax
ing land in this way would, to . great
extent go to the farmer.
Those who attempt to tax the prod

idea that such taxsss0n is just taxation,
are those who would prefer a crooked
to straight path in reaching their
goal Simpler the methocs less the ex-

When the eye is strained to aching and sweary

When the ear grows dull from listening for

For tho knock that never cometh. the footster

When the voice grows weak and husky, when
the breath comes faint and slow;
When the soul oppressed and saddened for

A DESTROYER OF TRANQUILITY
Boundiess Capacity Of the Car-window to
Invent surprises.

Bound,sss Capacity of the Car-window to
Invent Surprises.
Much has been said and written about
the car-window. Its perversity has fur.
nished material to the funny man for
years, yet its capacity for furnishing
surprises is not exhausted or its infinite
variety of meanness stated.
Only the other day young woman,
fair to look upon and sweet of voice,
entered train in the Grand Central
station and, after seating herself, at.
tempted to open the window at her
side in order to let in a draught, prob
ably. No other good reason was ap-
parent OF course her slender hands
were unequal to the task and she
looked around for assistance.
The man opposite her had been hop.
ing for just snch an opportunity ever
since he set eyes ON her winsomeness.
would you be SO kind?" she asked.
Would he be so kind! Would he! Would
well, would a dog bark? He jumped
for that window. He heaved at it with
all the strength of lusty manhood. II
never budged He tugged. he strained,
he perspired. 1t was no use. Then he
said the rain must have swelled the
wood He made some remarks on car
windows generally and retreated in
confusion, under fire of her scornful
eyes
Then wizened little fellow, who
had been watching the whole thing
with gratified grin, stepped across the
aisle, gave the frame of the window a
smart rap with his clenched fist, loosen
ing 1t from little ice that held it out
side. pushed the thing up easily and
won coveted smiles and approval
A somewhat similar cese happened
only yesterday. A woman. also young
and beautiful they are always that,
these women for whom men tackle car
windows-wanted the same office per-
formed for her and looked about for a
victim. She fastened on a susceptible
man with red hair. He hesitated lit
tie at first He probably knew his tenn
per- She smiled eharmiugly and he
surrendered He began on the window
mildly at first, and after two or three
unsuccessful pulls, cracked rather old
joke on the subject. Then he pulled
harder and said it was shame for the
company, etc. Somebody giggled and
the red-headed man got mad. He pulled
till his face matched his hair His col
lar burst from the button. He put one
knee. upon the window-sill, bowed his
back down, and heaved till his suspen-
ders snapped; he made himself ridicu-
lous- 1t was dangerous to sit near him.
he jumped around SO. Finally he
dropped exhausted and turned to apol-
ogize to the woman. But she was gone.
At the first sign of his becoming violent
she had arisen Indignantly and walked
to the other end of the car. leaving him
to strain at window he did not want
open at all
This abused man had not gone far on
his journey when at country station
another woman got in and wanted her
window opened There is always. a
victim This one came in with her, and
as he stepped forward the red-haired
man grinned sardonically and waited,
as did the other passengers, in pleasant
anticipation. As the new sacrifice
grabbed the transparent destroyer of
tranquility. they chuckled. He gave
one tug and the window went up freely.

WONDERFUL NAMES.

colors were found in the vast extent OF
the great northern territory, and of this

Esquimau tribes, and only 4,s0S were

SNAP SHOTS.

Amateur societies in many cities require
as qualification that the person joining
shall be able to develop his own plates.
The excitement over alleged discoveries
has died out about as suddenly as it began,
and photographing colors is yet an undis-
covered art.
Captain Colson, of the French Genie, has
succeeded in photographing without a
lens A simple camera, into which light
is admitted by pinhole, suffces him to
produce well defined images of immovable
objects. The exposure must be longer, that
is all.
It is in the work of developing their
own plates that the amateurs are con-
stantly advancing. Some of them know
more about the chemistry of various salts
and acids used in one stage or another in
developing than the professors of chemistry
in many college.
The famous Rutherford photographs of
the moon, now in possession of Columbia
college, were the earliest made, and they
are esteemed as remarkable examples of
lunar photography even by those who have
seen the photographs of the moon taken at
the Lick observatory in 1888.
