they should come before the world.
Tie subject is moustrUus one and
should be discussed in all csndor, per-
fectly free from all partisan feelings.
and II is this sensible, and fearless dis
cussiou of any aud all subjects, that
should characterize every true Ameri-

much space but feel the subj. ct is

You must find somewhere within your

90 minutes rest. This is imperative if
you would preserve your youth and good
looks. Ihave a cozy corner where can,
If / wish, take surreptitious snooze, en-
Joy quiet think or a little gossip with
my latest feminine adorer. This alcove
is modestly fitted up. A pair Of Jap por-
there's curtain my corner from the rest Of
the room. My couch was never in its
best days anything more elegant than a
81 cot, but thanks to thin hair mattress
and an adorable old blue quilt that
picked up in my wanderings it Is now
quite an elegant lounging couch.
Lots of downy cushions of Kentucky
jeans" the delicious blues brought out
by struggling bouquets of white floss
thread, add to its charm. My bit of man.
vel drapery is an antique piece Of handi-
work in satin and silks that found one
rainy day while rummaging the chests
in an old garret way down in Virginia.
On this stand my joss sticks, which on
company days smolder in such aromatic
fashion, and quaint jar which remi-ds

fishing hamlet on the Massachusetts
coast. keep ON hand the latest mag

yorite pinEs and a tangle of smilax.
These are SO effective when placed with

tinted glass overhead gives me when the
sun is gracious enough to smile on my
corner some delightful streaks of tinted
sunlight, completing, to my way Of
thinking, the prettiest tone picture un

text books this year Of our Lord 1894.
Following upon two years Of panic aud
business depression the people are to be
unnecessarily mulcted to the tune Of
hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
Wholesale and retail schoolbooB ceal-
efs are to be forced to stock up all
around under system headed by the
so-calIed state board of education, and
backed up by circulars to be issued by
the county superintendents of schools
and printed price lists of the new serit'
of text books are to be hung up in every
schoolhouse. These lists are prepai eG
by the trust and all the citizen has te
do is to pay. AL this machinery is set
in motion by lawl passed two Year,
ago. It. was introduced by Senatll
Biackman of Eastern Oregon and ". s
probably prepared by the trust itself o.
its representatives in Oregon. 1t h,s
lain quiet until the people had mearI.
forgotten about it.
aNow II has sprung with yehemenct
that is. very suspiciousIin view of th,
part the school book trust played in tn,
recent Oregon election and in view Of
the fact reform legislature has been
chosen that may repeal that book trust
law. 1t should be borne in mind that
there is no competition in school bool
and school supplies; that the trust
fixes the prices. This law will not give
the people relief from high priced text
books. 1t simply DEGREES change
all around at time when the people
are least able to bear it. 1t should te
resisted by the people. The retiring
state superintendent of schools should
not run this expensive scheme down
the throats of Ithe.people of Oregon, as
he is about to go out of office. The peo-
pie want cheaper text books, not a high
priced change to be fastened upon them
for years to come. No county superin.
tendent should vote for this change.
No one has asked for it. The law it.
self was never asked for by the people.
1t was q job forced through the legisla.

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF

foundation Of the disease, and giving

How tn. Thief Must Kick Himself

Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and
jeweler, was looking over lot of unre-
deemed pledges yesterday when he
found something which made his hair
fairly stand on end. About year ago
a young man called at the store of Mr..
5tone and said he desired to borrow
some money from the Office on some per.
soilal property. The property consisted
OF o yalise, an overcoat, suit Of c!qth.
ing and a gold watch. The amount
loaned on the goods was $40, and the
man who secured the loan said that he
would call in the course of few days
and redeem the property. The goods
were placed in the vault and have re-
mained there undisturbed ever since.
When the musty old satchel was taken
out Of the vault yesterday it was found
10 be in the same condition as it was at
the time it was placed in the room for
safe keeping. The clothing had been
made into a separate package. The va
lise was broken open, and inside was
found a red leather belt considerably the
worse for wear. The belt was taken
out, and in handling it was noticed that
II was very heavy and had little pockets
along the bide.
Mr.. Stone took the belt out into the
front room Of the store and opened the
pockets. Out rolled gold pieces, double
eagles, to the number of 81. They were
as bright and shiny as the day they were
taken from the mint, and they looked as
though they had just been taken from
the bank. The coins were all of the
same date, 1890. The money legally bs-
longs to the finder unless some person
from whom it was taken, as it was ap
parently stolen, proves his property
