SOLITUDE.

In tracing the career Of others
who have done more than | for
human progress, the tendency to
formulate the best in solitude
becomes apparent to each one.
GOETHE found the quiet of early
1norning the most favorable for
composition; the teeming brain
of the great physicist HELMHoLTz
and the mathematician GAUsZ
marked as most productive the
silent hours of waiks abroad in
sunny weather; the universe
opened to KANT ON solitary wan
derings, and the famous electric
ian, WERNER SIEMENs, after be-
ing incarcerated in fortress as
punishment for duel, declared
that it was with regret he re-
gained his freedom from an
imprisonment in which work
and thought had reaped incredi-
BILE benefit from solitude. Sheep
and geese become restless when
separated from the flock; the
eagle and the lion seek isolation.
From quiet and solitude spring
the greatest thoughts and inven-
tions and composition of arts;
hence, their potentiality in
character formation, | hold the
theory that the child e&erts on
the child, as the friction of life
on man, the greatest educational
influence, while our most valua-
bic acquisition in the time of
our development through nature,
art and circumstance is the fruit
of hoeTs spent in quietude, de-
sirable for our growing youth
and absolutely essential Tor our
future philosopher, poet and
artist. Personally, ] am indebt-
ed for my full fruition, rounded
out by mothers influence, to
the solitary contenplations
which marked the saddestperiod
of my life.-GEoReE ERERs, in
August Forum.

In 611Rhg Craig's Mountain
we lltve been deeply impressed
with the fertility Of it's soil.
The production OF wheat, oats,
barley and vegetables is some
thing to be wondered at, consid-
ering the altitude of the country.
1t has also been satisfactorily
demonstrated that it is not be
hind other localities ia It's fruit
producing qualities. Apples,
pruncs, plums and cherries dc
excellently. Mr.. Ivan LYoss
brought box Of cherries to the
REPORT office last week that any
country ought to be justly proud
Of. Mr.. WAYLAND also has
cherry trees that are lSo.,aea Lad 1 down
Win the most delicious cherrles.
We feel safe in saying that in
the years to come that Craig's
Mountain will be noted as fine
fruit producing section-only let
the people who have settled this
portion of the great Camas Prai-
RE turn their attention to the
production of the hardy kinds Of
fruit, and it will only be a few
years until their tables will be
loaded with abundance and they
will have plenty to sell to their
neighbors at good prices.

GETTING A SEAT IN A STREET CAR.

A stout womsn's Clever Trick Failed Once
and Everybody Laughed.
The builders Of street cars allow
for II seats on each side. This was
the allotment when the cars were
first introduced. Since that time the
average area of the citizen has mate
rally Increased in person-both WON
en- and men are larger. The chance
introduction Of young people and
children still permits II people on a
side, but with full complement OF
passengers Nos. 81 and % must stand.
This increase Of girth on the part OF
New Yorkers in limiting the accom-
modations Of the car obliges fire.
quently somebody to yield what was
once considered the right to seat.
Nine ordinary passengers and one
fat man or woman require a read
justment of the car, just as 10 slim
women and child will admit an
other slim passenger. These are mat
ters that judicial minded person
will always take into account. The
judicial mind, however, is not al
ways taken aboard, and odd combi-
nations of passengers often throw
the entire car into state Of mind In
the effort to adjust them by main
strength or strategy.

but not large enough to accommo-

beyond the natural proportions by a
thick gown and a long full cloak.
The woman seated was slim, with a
mild face and reserved manner. The
woman standing looked at the space
and seated herself, obscuring the
smaller woman, who was plainly
supporting part of the burden.
''If you will allow me, will give
you the place." the crushed woman
said. She rose, and the other nodded
triumphantly to friend.
II often get a seat that way" en-
joying her success.
The mild faced woman gave no
sign, then said:
"Will you kindly let me see If Ileft

The stout woman got up, and the

REV. KELLERMAN ON PENSIONS
His Memorial Day Sermon Not Well
Received.

There was not little surprise when
Rev. G. II. Kellerman was notified by
Post Commander Crossan Tuesday
that his services on the Memorial day
exercises would not be required. He
was to open the opera house meeting
with prayer.
This action was had by number Of
the G. A. r. men after the regular
meeting Of Sedgwick post Monday
evening.
1t was brought on by the severe Ian.
guage employed by Rev. Kellerman
Sunday morning In his Memorial day
service, advertised as such, although
the military organizations had marched
to St. Paul's church. Only a few grand
army men we're present to hear his ar
raignment Of pensions for union SOL
diers and the grand army. They are
unanimous In denouncing It In the
most emphatic manner. Republicans
generally felt outraged at the sweeping
denunciations of their party.
He declared that the Republicans
had not a statesman today and that
Cleveland was the only statesman In
our country.
WHAT HE SAID.
A prominent Grand Army man and
member of his church was seen today
by a JOURNAL writer and says:
ut was an unusually severe attack
upon the pension laws and those bene-
fitted by them were denounced In un-
sparing terms; 1t was charged upon TIE
Grand Army as being responsible for
all the wrongs and abuses Of the pen
sion system. He said there was no
patriotism In the organization. 1t was
simply conspiracy for raids OH the
treasury. There was no patriotism
shown by the men who went into the
Union armies. They did not 60
from patriotic motives, He said In
substance that they were fully paid,
and no man who was patriot would
receive pension. He gave not word

down their lives In battle, or In COM
mendatlon Of their services or the cause
for which they fought. People went
there to hear Memorial sermon and
heard nothing but criticisms Of the I'm.
ion soldiers and the Grand Army.
Probably he forgot that part Of It, but
II was evidently too glaring an omission
to be passed over"
HOW 1T WAS RECEIVED.
The remarks were received In perfect
silence. Two got up and went out.
One was woman who had three
brothers In the army who sacrificed
lives and everything for their country.
The remarks were generally criticised
and condemnation In private was quite
frequent.
