As We Were S0yimg

Aheres sort OF weary FEELING
Seizes one in winter time.
When it's almost always raining,
Drowning thoughts of things sublime;
When there's really nothing doing,
And the world seems out of tune,
And that's why I'm longing, longing
For the blooming days of June.
Every day is short and gloomy
Or, that is, so many are
And you seldom see the moonshine
Or the twinkle of star.
With your work cut out for daylight,
Nights black curtain falls too soon,
And that's why Pm longing, longing
For the blooming days of June.
Now the candidate for Office
Passes you without word;
Now his LIQUID invitation
Is not regularly heard;
Now his welcome legal tender
Is not copiously strewn,
And that's why I'm longing, longing
For the blooming days of June.
While it does look as though Governor
Chamberlain has been pulling off a
grandstand stunt in the matter of the
special session, that does not alter the
fact that 80 per cent of the people of
Oregon believe the session should be
devoted to the tax levy law alone-a
genuine emergency measure. If by his
attitude the Governor has offended
some of the so-called Republicans who
helped to elect him, the predominating
element OF the party which stood pat
has reason to rejoice.
Nebraska, evidently jealous of Ore
gon, has also succeeded in unearthing
scandal in high places. United States
Senator Dietrich is charged with sell.
ing an appointment to a postmaster.
We are betting on Dietrich. We don't
believe any man in Nebraska who would
be willing to serve as postmaster in
town of 10000 inhabitants has $4,000 to
put up for the appointment.
A Portland business man died Mon
day after an illness of three weeks. He
was a follower of Dowie, and believed
his faith could put it all over all the
doctors and all the medicines that
could be rounded up. He leaves a
widow and three children, but little
for their support, great deal of his
surplus, evidently, having been sent to
DowIe at Chicago. Next?
With winter setting in, strikes of all
kinds are taking place in various parts
of the country-an unusually strong
indication OF prevailing prosperity.
The strikes that count, however, are
the numerous strikes of gold reported
from day to day. These are the only
strikes occurring in Oregon. The
states output of the yellow metal is
steadily increasing.
A fatal duel has at last drawn the at
tention of the world toward France.
the victim being lawyer. And now,
having demonstrated that it is possible
for French duelists to reach vital
spot, the hot-headed frogeaters should
abandon the dangerous pastime before
somebody of Importance gets the coup
de grace.
The old Pacific ocean has been kick

In Il Maori Wooinx House.

Among the Maoris sometimes in the
Whare matoro Uhe wooing house,, a
building in which the young of both
seXes assembled for play, songs,
dances. etc, there would be at stated
times a meeting. When the fires burn

want him for my husband" If he
coughed (sign of ASSENT or said YES"
It was well; if only dead silence. she
covered her head with her robe and
was ashamed. This was not often, as
she generally had managed to ascertain
either by her W inquiry or by send
ing a girl friend if the proposal was
acceptable. On the other hand, some
times a mother would attend and say,
II want So-and-so for my son" If
not acceptable. there was generally
knocking, and she was told to let the
young people have their house the
wooing house, to themselves.

The Wastes of the Body

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of a mar Of average size
loses two pounds of wornout tissue.
This waste cannot be replenished
and the health and strength kept up
without perfect digestion. When the
stomach and digestive oragns fail to
perform their functions, the strength
lets down, health gives way, and
disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimllate all of
the wholesome food that may be eaten
INTO the kind Of blood that rebuilds
the tissues and protects the health,
n strength Of the mind and body.
kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia
n all stomach troubles. 1t is an
ideal spring tonic. Sold by L. O.

The X-Rays.

Recent experiments, by practical
tests and examination with the aid
or the N-Rays, establish it as a fact
that catarrh of the stomach is OF

from repeated attacks of indigestion.

ton and dyspepsia, and prevent or
cure catarrh Of the stomach. Kodol

Creek township, Ind. White settlers
move into the locality. and Burson,
not wanting n%eighbors, shouldered his

place a few days ago and identified
himself as Burson's son. He went
quietly at midnight to where the old

digging. The farmers living near and

The first observations Of an eclipse
OF the sun taken by American astrono-
mers were made on Long island, Pc
sAobscot bay, oil Oct. 81, 1870. On that
occasion 4 party from Harvard col
lege. headed by Professor S. w. Hol-
lis, LII. D, having obtained the con-
sent Of the British general who was
in command of Castine, landed at
Bounty Cave and made the house of
n Shubael Williams their headuuar-
tiers. The totality of the eclipse was Wis
ible only at Pcnobscot bay and vicinity,
a fact which would make such an
event one Of great import ever today.
1t is but Justice to add that the OBJ
seryations made by the Harvard scien-
lists were very successful, notwith-
standing the fact that their instru-
ments were v.rv crude and inaccurate.

The artistic side of the manufacture
OF wall paper, says the Wall Pape1
News, is the development of a very
recent period. In this development
different manufacturers and designers
have had u hand. Some of these are
living today and deserve all honor for
their labors. If any one man has had
more to do with this work than any
other tina man was William Morris.
When William Morris first entered
upon his work. there was very little
that was artistic in wallpaper. When
he finished his work, wall paper was
a thing of beauty and Il joy forever.
The period in which Morris worked lay
between the years 1856 and 1896. Thus
the influence of William Morris was
so recent as to be almost present with
us today, and it is not too much to say
that not a line of wall paper is manu-
featured in this country or in England
that does not show marked traces of
his taste and originality.
