The Origin OF the Expression Now Popular
In This City.

In InIs Suy.
YOU'RE not tho only pebble on the beach" Is
an expression which has been made familiar on
tho stage In variety theatres OF New York and
other cities since last summer and 1t is trace

preston, having some claim TO enduring popu-
s Sns ,so s,s
the only pebble" Here is the first verse OF
the song:
When you see pretty maiden. who has turned sev.
noa Think you'd like to win her for your wife.
Don't start me game oy saying she's the sweetest
Don't let her think that you are sure to onrer her
She'll like YOU better II you're out OF reach
No matter how you love her, give tho girl to under
She's not the only pebble on the beach.
This verso 10 rather more philosophical than
galiant-as tho first verses OF popular songs are
api to nsnnG me second verse % seeks SpPHrenty
attention OF tho audience TO that rare subject
OF complaint, tho neglect OF men In street cars
TO give seats to beautiful and stylishly. atti-od
young women. However that may be, these
are the words OF the verse:

She stood there nf'osn minutes while man not far
Was occupying twice his share OF scat.
As she gazed at him with Injured look, che said In

OF phrase Of masculine sincerity and feminine
duplicity which ought To be very rare and prob

ENGLAND'S AFGHAN TROUBLE

There have been three British
wars with Afghanistan during the
Victorian sixty years, and the news
from the Khyber Pass seems omlnous
OF another.
One of the earliest military TRACE
dies of the queens reign was the
appalling massacre of McNaghten's
command IN one of the passes lead
ing southwark from Cabul into In
dIa. Over 10000 men, women and
children, retreating from the Afghan
capital under pledges of peaceful
journey to India, were overtaken in
the pass by the ferocious tribesmen
and massacred within q few hours.
One man only survived the slaughter,
and he, badly wounded, crawled
slowly on to Jellalabad to tell the
horrible story.
Remembering that mournful event,
it is not surprising that England
should be anxiously waiting for re-
assuring news from the disputed
Khyber Pass.

trader. The Klondike stories be
strange ones, especially when yoked
together.
The Pendleton Tribune takes up

The Pendleton Tribune takes up
the cudgel to defend American
courts from the imputation of putting
less value ON life than the Eaglish
courts, and cites two English cases, in
one of which man was sentenced to
six weeks hard labor for killing his
wife, and on the other pickpocket
was sentenced to ten years for his
small! theft. We do not pretend. to
dispute the Tribune's authority, nor
to justify all English decisions, but
as far as the punishment of crime is
concerned, England certainly has a
better record than the United States.
Anent the cases quoted, we might
call attention to two Oregon cases.
One was for murder, the other for
stealing salmon, both tried before
the same judge. The murderer got
one year IN the pen, and the fellow
who swiped one salmon got two
years in the same institution. And
then there is Durrant, dying of old
age in California. But the subject
broadens too rapidly TO permit dis
cussion.

IN OBJECT LESSON.

A dispatch from Minneapolis dated
September 1st says:
There is to be a marked advance
in the price of white pine lumber as
a result of the advance in agricul-
tural products. The list committee
of the Mississippi Lumbermen's Asso-
citation met today to agree on an ad-
vance to take effect next week.
1t is quite proper that the lumber
men should should share in the gen.
eral prosperity, and we reprint the
above only to call attention to the
fact that the association controls the
price, and says to the consumer:
LATTER next week the price of lumber
will he advanced so much per thous
aud" The association also controls
the price it will pay its employees for
their labor, but we failed to see any
thing in the dispatch saving that at
the date named the wages of the as
sociation employees would be ad-
Vanced given per cent. This is a
part of the proceedings that will not
be in print because that part will not
occur, and yet labor is entitled to
share in the general prosperity also.
When labor gets together, as the as
sociation did, and says after such a
date our products shall bring such a
price, that is a strike.
We do not believe in strikes, but
we do believe that the toiIer should
have his share of high prices, just as
he is forced to take his moiety of low
prices.

A shrewd trader ought to make
money at Dawson City buying pro-
visions of one store and selling to
another. Mr.. Milton AIlsamore.
who writes a very sensible letter
from Dawson City under date of
July 29th, after giving a very mi
mute description of the trip in from
Dyea, proceeds to give the prices at
Dawson City, which are, all things
considered, quite reasonable. He
gives the market quotations as fol-
lows: Bacon 80 cents per pound !;
flour $24 per barrel, Sc per sack;
granulated sugar 80 cents per pound :;
beans 13 cents; butter $1.50 per
roll. Mr.. R. H. Gerdes writes from
Dawson City July 11th. He quotes
flour at $62 per sack, or S24S by the
barrel; bacon 81 pound; potatoes
500 sack. Between the two quo
tations, 1t strikes US a good sharp
business man could make more than
by mining. Flour that can be
bought by one man for Sc sack
and costs another $62, furnishes an
opportunity for trade, and even 80
cents a pound difference in the price
of bacon is not bad for a sharp

No mystery about if. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York Office, there was a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been a very clever advertising transac-
tion, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de-
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing go uniformly success
full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.
