I had been more careful. darling.
Nor given you needless pain:
But We veI our own

For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss Of peace
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain Of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come homs at night.
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smilss for the sometime guest.
But Oft for 'our own

OREGON AGAINST THE WORLD
And Now We Make Ourselves Known at
Omaha-Better Still Oregon is In
1t at Manila.

There is no denying the oft-repeated
fact that wherever Oregonians go they
make their presence known and carry
away all the honors In sight and "out OF
sight"
Another proof of this assertion is con-
tanned in the reports which came from
the exposition just closed at Omaha. All
are aware that it was only through the
efforts of few determined representative
Oregonians that our state made any
showing at all at Omaha, and yet the
trophies and medals secured exceed those
won by any other three states repre-
sented. A summary of the awards shows
that Oregon agricultural displays
led, with eighteen medals: mining and
minerals, thirty-seven; educational,
five; horticultural, fifty: fishery, two;
forestry, nine; and miscellaneous seven.
Twenty-Five medals are gold, twenty
seven are silver, and thirty-seven are
bronze. There are forty-one honorable
mentions.
Better still the reports that come from
our soldiers, assure US that Oregon is not
only first in peace, but from her record
during the recent war has made not only
the United States, but the world, know
that she is ''trst in war" In enumerat
