WE ARE WITH YOJI.

Senator Munson, in the last weeks
issue of his paper, the Censor, quotes
apprOvingly from the late eermon of the
Rsv. Judson Ellsworth of Milwaukee
on the necessary qualifications and
character of U. S. senator, and asks if
he has q constituent who desires him &c
vote for any man lacking in these quail
tiles
We do not know that the Rev. Mr.
Ellsworth had in mind any one of the
numerous candidates nor do we care
We simply know that if there is any ore
among them that falls short of the
measure prescribed by that gentleman
then it is so much worse for the candi
date, and if Senator Munson's vote is
cast against him, his course will mee'
with the hearty approval of his honest
Intelligent constituents.
We are GLAD to note that Senator
Munson has such full conception o.
the important trust reposed in him anC
hope he will execute that trust with the
same good judgment he has always
shown in representing his district.-Dt

Money and Marriages.

From the Providence Journal: Is it
lack of money that keeps men from
marrying? This is the reason often
advanced, and it seems to be justified
by the recent episode at Chicago, where
fifty couples rushed to take advantage
of a free performance of the ceremony
how they were to live afterward evil
IDENTIFY being less important matter.
Perhaps it is only in the higher walks
of life that the blessed estate of holy
.natrimony is avoided on financial
grounds. Society demands more and
more of those who belong to it, and
young men in moderate circumstances
dread the burden of wife and family,
preferring their own selfish pleasure.
This may be deplorable, but it is hard
ly strange.

There is a popular character in

ment in his speech. He talks eloquent
ly, but he stammers some. He recent
ly located in Pendleton because he ad-
mires Missourians, and he has found
the right kind here. The other day he
went to the telephone to talk to a
friend in Portland. When the talk was
finished the Portland man said: well,
old man. you seem to talk better since
you went to Pendleton. You do not
stutter anything like as much as you
did, No." said the Pendleton man,

They Didn't Build the Fence.

condition.
Some of the neighbors We're trying
to start a movement to refence the
cemetery, and it was meeting with gen.
eral approval until the caustic wit OF
Darius Howard was aroused.
What for?'' he inquired. ''What's
the use of fencing the graveyard?
There amt no one inside that wants to
ccme out and I'm darn sure there amt
anyone outside that wants to get in.
So, what's the use of the fence?"
And the fence was not built until
folks had ceased to chucllle over the
thrust OF Darius.-Lewiston Journal.

Absent Minded Man Discovers New

Way Of Forgetting Them.
'sThe folks at home, with blind
trustfulness that cannot understand"
said the absent-minded man, "still
give me letters to mail, though they
know it may be days before 1 get 'em
into the postoffice. Time and again,
carrying letter in my hand so as not
to forget it, have walked right past
lamp-post letter boxes and toted the
letter right up to the ticket office of
an elevated station, forgetting that
was carrying it until wanted to reach
for money to buy a ticket with. Then
I'd put the letter in my pocket and
that was goodby letter, perhaps for
days.. But this morning l did some
thing different; started out before
breakfast with a letter that 1 was to
mail, and two cents. with which to buy
a stamp for it, the letter in one hand
and the money in the other. l reached
sub-station of the postoftice that is
in our neighborhood in safety and
bought the stamp all right and stuck

at curious and yet familiar-looking
tall red box with rounded top, that
stood there by the desk. Still hold
ing the letter in my hand so as not to
forget it, l carried it into a store
where I had an errand to buy some
thing for the house, and there l set
the letter down on the counter where
couldn't fail to see it while l reached
in my pocket for money. When 1
walked up the steps of my house a
little later with an appetite improved,
if anything, by the breath of fresh air,
it suddenly came to me that had left
the letter in the store, and l turned,
of course, and went back for it. When
7 came to the corner nearest the store
I found the young man who had wait
ed on me just dropping my letter in
the letter box there. Now, in this
case, my forgetfulness resulted in the
prompt mailing of the letter, but while
1 am, of course, pleased over this,
am at the same time disturbed by the
thought that 1 may now develop my
forgetfulress in some other new form
that may not work out SO happily.

same house, was kissed by him one
day, greatly to her Indignation.
"If you dare to kiss me again." she
said, 81 must tell my father"

EFFECT OF FLOWING ICE.
As Compared with That of Other Sculp-
turing Agents.

AS Compared with IhaC or OIhcr Scul2-
turing Agents.
The action of flowing ice, whether in
the form of river-like glaciers or broad
mantling folds, is but little understood
as compared with that of other sculp-
turing agents, says the Atlantic. Riv-
ers work openly where people dwell,
and so do the rain and the sea thun-
dering on all the shores of the world;
and the universal ocean of air, though
invisible, speaks loud in a thousand
voices and explains it's modes of work
ing and it's power. But glaciers back
in their cold solitudes work apart from
men, exerting their tremendous ener-
gies in silence and darkness. Coming
in vapor from the sea, flying invisible
on the wind, descending in snow
changing to ice, white, spirit-like, they
brood outspread over the predestined
landscapes, working on unwearied
through unmeasured ages, until in the
fullness of time the mountains and
valleys are brought forth, channels fur
rowed for the rivers, basins made for
meadows and lakes, and soil beds
spread for the forests and fields that
man and beast may be fed. Then, van
ishing like clouds, they melt into
streams and go singing back home to
the sea. Standing on this adamantine
old monument in the midst of such en-
ergy, getting glimpses of the thoughts
of God, the day seems endless; the
sun stands still. Much faithless fuss
is made over the passage in the bible
telling of the standing still of the sun
for Joshua. Here you may learn that
the sun stands still for every devout
mountaineer-for everybody doing
anything worth doing, seeing anything
worth seeing One day is as thou
sand years, a thousand years one day,
and while yet in the flesh you enjoy
Immortality.
