many were the OmlnOus remarks EXCHANGED
in the close. wedge shaped folksle on her
behavior in these comparatively smooth
waters. coupled with gloomy apprehensions
of what sort of fist she would make of the
western ocean waves presently. Clinkety-
clank, bang. bang went the pumps for Is
minutes out of every two hours. The water
rising clear as though drawn from oversize,
and deeper shade settled on the shippers
brow. For merry IA days they fought
their way inch by inch down channel. get
ting their first slant between Ushant and
Scilly in the shape of hard north easter
that drove them clear of the land and 300
miles cut into the Atlantic. Then it fell
calm with golden haze all round the
horizon by day, and sweet, balmy feel in
the ARA touch of Indian summer on the
sea- Three days 1t lasted-days that
brought no comfort to the skipper, who
could hardly hold his patience when his
wife blessed the lovely weather, in her
happy ignorance of what might be expected
as the price presently to be paid for it,
Then one evening there began to rise in the
west the familiar sign SO dear to home
ward Founders, so dreaded by outgoing
ships-the dense dome Of cloud uplifted to
receive the setting sun. The skipper
watched it's growth as if fascinated by the
sight, watched it until at midnight it had
risen to be vast convex screen, hiding one
half of the deep blue sky. At the changing
OF the watch he had her shortened down to
the two lower topsails and fore-topmast
staysail, and having thus snugged her, went
below to snatch, fully dressed, few min
utes' sleep. The first moaning breath of the
coming gale reused him almost as soon as
1t reached the ship, and the watchful
Svensen gave his first order, Lee fore
brace!"- the skipper appeared at the COM
panion hatch, peering anziously to the
wlndward. where the center of that gloomy
veil seemed to be worn thin. The only light
left was just little segment of blue low
down on the eastern horizon, to which, in
spite OF themselves. the eyes of the travail

OF the boat. At dawn rowing ceased for a
time, and those who were awake watched
in perfect silence, such as no other situa-
ton upon this planet can afford, the entry
of the new day. Not one of them but felt
like men strangely separated from mundane
things, and face to face with the mex
pressible mysteries of the timeless state But
it was Svensen who broke that sacred quiet
by a sonorous shout of "Sail-ho!" With
transition like a wrench from death to
life, all started into eager questioning; and
all presently saw, with the vigilant Finn,
the unmistakable outlines of vessel brand
ed upon the broad, bright semi-circle of
the half-risen sun. No order was given
or needed. Double banked, the oars grip
ped the water, and with a steady rush the
boat sped eastward toward that beat
ific vision of salvation. Even the shippers
face lost its dull shade of hopelessness. in
spite OF his loss. as he saw the haggard lines
relax from Mary's face. Quiet a cheerful
buzz of chat arose. Unwearfedly, hour after
hour the boat sped onward over the bright
smoothness, though the sun poured down
his stores of heat and the sweat ran in
steady streams down the brick-red faces of
the toiling rOwers. After four hours of I'M
renting labor they were near enough to
their goal to see that she was a steamer
lying still, with no trace of smoke from her
funnel. AS they drew nearer they saw that
she was heavy list to port, and presently
came the suggestion that she was deserted.
Hopes began to rise, visions of recompense
for ali their labor beyond anything they
could have ever dreamed possible. The
shippers nostrils dilated, and faint blush
rose to his cheeks. WEAKNESS was forgot

Oregon, If, after investigation, they find
that such youth have not departed from
the paths OF virtue. Mr., Gardner says
he wishes it distinctly understood that
this class OF children does not embrace
the class known as fallen.girls.
The society is maintained by state and
county aid, by the interest OF a bequest
fund, and by voluntary contributions.
About one-half the expenses are paid by
the latter.

business men Of Hood River that aper-
son has been eanyassing for subscrlp-
tions from time 10 time, and many peo-
pie here have been led to believe that II

This is entirely ly wrong. Although the
society has taken many homeless OF
abused children from this county, they
have never asked nor received one cent
from any person in Hood River.
The society completely coyers the
work Of the rescue OF children all oven
the state OF Oregon and never refuses tc
care for any case reported and sent td
the Home. Nored tape is required; tt
know that child is in need is sufficient
TO obtain admission to the Home. All
such cases should be reported to the
county Judge or commissioners.
There are now on hand at the Home
in Portland about 81 children, 20 O.
whom are boys and II girls. The boys
range in age from to II years, and Tho
girls from 8 to l3 years, Besides th'
above, the society has under its care
boy baby of excellent parentage aged
months. All the above children are To-
adoption or indenture, and any persoi
wishing TO obtain one OF them shouls
address the superintendent OF the Boy
and Girls Aid Society at Portland.
Mr.. Gardner would like to get the pu
pills Of the public schools interested IL

Notwithst ding the law, there we're
many who seriously objected during the
last census to giving any information in
regard to their personal affairs, and in
many instances it was only with great
difficulty that the desired facts were OBJ
tanned. Some misguided individuals
barricaded their doors and treated the
census-takers in the light OF villains VINO
were seeking to rob them OF their pos
sessions, and not infrequently u poor
census taker (or ''enumerator, as he If
officially called) was hustled out-oi-doors
by the indignant woman of the house,
because he had dared 10 ask her now
old she was or whether she knew how TO
write. This unwillingness to answer
questions would no doubt be overcome
ii it we're known that the replies are
intended only for official use in prepar-
ing statistics and will never be given out
to the public. In fact, the law expressly
provides that il any enumerator shall SO
iar forget his dutv as to communicate to
any one except his superior othcer any
information he obtains IN the per
formance Of his work he shall be sub
iect to fine Of five hundred dollars
The law is very strict with reference to
the duties OF the enumerators, for unless
this work is done properly and carefully
the census figures would be OF little
value. Consequently, everyone who
enters upon this important duty is given
to understand that il he shall knowingly
make false statement regarding the
persons whom be has enumerated
either as ID their number or any facts
relating to them Ia any possible way, he
shall be deemtd snil7s Of misdemeanor
and upon conviction be may be tinec

mated city, were unable to get away
from it, as blue bird is fascinated by a
rattlesnake Their wings soon packed
with the heavy snow, and exhausted
beyond endurance, they commenced
dropping from the clouds into the street,
the noise OF their squaking being almost
deafening. Then commenced wild
scramble, men and boys joined in the
sport. Geese or brants were picked mp
on every side alive, and it was noticed
that amongst the game birds were all
kinds of birds known to Oregon, that
have been mixed up with the geese
BOYS went out on the hills and built
bonfires, which attracted some OF the
birds to them, and they secured a dozen
more that way. Others took their shot
guns and killed o large number.

A tle-Scarred Flag.

The Woodburn Independent is respon-
sible for this story about the banner
that the Second ofegons carried to vic
tory in the Philippines;
The Second Oregon regiment flag was
in only one engagement, and that not q
serious one, at Pasig. In the march
through bush and in other battles the
emblem was not taken as It was con
sidered too much bother. Yet whenthe
flag was turned over to Governor Geer In
Portland it was rent with bullets Tat
tered and torn, it presented the appear

and Stripes in shreds, through tear be
dimmed eyes, and shuddered at the ter
rible story without words, the returned
volunteer gazed in amazement at th'
Second Oregon's flag and silently won

There are many reasons why the hen
and not the eagle should be the national
bird. Among them is the growing dis
content our best citizens feel for the
eagle, which bird has never given thor
ough satisfaction, because OF its low
down nature. The eagle is cowardly
creature and never makes war except
upon weaker things 1t never earned
an honest dollar in its life, and its daily
food is stolen from some poor bird too
small and too weak TO defend itself and
its property, says the Chicago News.
Moreover, the eagle swoops down
among children, lambs and other inno-
cent things, and bears them TO its home,
among the mountain crags. This alone
is sufficient to oust it from the position
OF being the bird of America and pre-
vent its picture from continuing on our
dollars. The hen, however, is sweet
tempered, hard working, productive
creature. She is identified with our
home life and our domestic and national
prosperity. She lays $500, 100000 worth
of eggs every year, or four and fraction
eggs for each individual in the land.
When the eagle is loafing around,
waiting to steal something to eat, the
modest hen ia attending to business.
And after life OF activity, laying eggs,
cackling, and laying more eggs and
Matching little chicks, she gives up her
life that the American boarding house
may thrive and wax fat. How much
better the hen than the bald-headed
eagle for our national bird. As a just
recognition OF her supremacy in the
money producing industries she should
dispaee the eagle. The domestic side
of herlife hong since endeared her to
every home in the Union. Calm, gentle
somewhat coy, she is, nevertheless, q
strong, courageous, uncompromising foe
to all that the eagle is. We hope to see
her, visage stamped in our moneys and
become the national bird of freedom.

Bishop Potter and DR.. Rufus W Clark
OF Detroit we're among the speakers at
the Episcopal church congress at st.
Paul. Bishop, Potter, as is well known,
Is an avowed anti-expansionist, and his
addresses are listened to with the re-
spect which his words always command
lie is reported es saying 1T is possible
that a nation which still preserves the
forms ofdemocratic government may IN
time subordinate them to methods OF
its administration which sooner or later
will bring the substance OF imperialism
along with them" This is the danger
which he apparently apprehends in the
Philippines, where, he adds, America :
FIRST word is subiection, its first de-
mand, surrender, its first, second and
third conditions are We will recognize
nobody, we will treat with nobody, we
alone will dictate all the terms. Asan
honorable alternative, he proposes that
1--WE submit to an international court,
representing the best wisdom OF the best
peoples, the question OF the present dis
position and future administration OF
the Philippines" DIR. Clark, ON the
other hand, insists that expansion "does
not rest without qualification upon the
principles Of personal liberty. j rests
upon the principle Of the largest good to
the greatest number, contention
which he confirms by citation from our
past history.

Planting OF the Apple Tree.
nv WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,

Come, let us plant the apple tree,
Cleave the tough greensward with the space
Wide let its hollow bed be made
Then gently lay The roots, ana there
Sift the dark mould with kindly care,
And press IL O'cr them tenderly,
AS round the sleeping Infants feet,
esofty fold the cradle sheet,
SO plant we the apple tree.
What plant we in this apple tree3
Buds which the breath Of summer days
Shall lengthen into leafy sprays;
Boughs where the thrush with crimson breast
shall haunt and sing and hide her nest
We plant upon The sunny lea
4 shadow for the nOontde hour,
shelter from the summer shower,
When we plant the apple tree.
What plant we in hisapple tres?
Sweets for a hundred towerv springs
TO load the May winds restless wings,
When from the orchard row he pours
Its fragrance through our open DOORS
A world Of blossoms for the bee,
Flowers for the sick girls silent room,
For the glad infant sprigs of blpom,
We plant with the apple tree.
What plant we IN this apple trcc2
Fruits that shall swell In sunny Jane,
And redden inthe August noon,
And drop when gentle ans come by,
That ian the blue Septemuer sky,
While children come with cries OF glee
And seek them wherein he fragrant grass
Belrays their bed to those who pass,
At the foot of the apple tree.
