"The Umatilla is the finest trib,
of Indians I ever saw" said DR.. May
belle Atkins to the East oregoniar
today.
"The Montana Indians and the Ne
vada Indians are not to be compared
to them in any respect. Your Uma-
tillas are fine specimens of manhood
and womanhood. They dress well,
ride in carriages, eat at hotels and
restaurants and are more like civil
lied human beings than any tribe of
Indians have ever met, in my extern
sive travels over the Northwest.
Should you tell an fastener that
the Umatilla Indians are educated
wealthy, and many of them highly
progressive and industrious citizens.
they would scarcely believe it. Fhey
mink the Indians are practically all

prissd to find these Indians 80 much
advanced Compared to the Nevada
and Montana Indians they are as day
light compared to darkness.
THE general sentiment that the
Indian is just a necessary nuisance,
Is widely distributed among the best
classes Of people, and I am so glad
to see one tribe advanced so high
along the lines of citizenship and
Christian civilization. True, thew
may not be as perfect as we would
have them. They may love strong

respects uneivilized. Yet, when see

thrilled with the result of the educa-
tion of the redman,
1.-THE surrounding of such a tribe
as the umatilla seems to be, must be
responsible for much of the high
character Of the Indian, and I think
the advancement and progress of
these Indians is largely due to the en-

HAND THAT ROCKS THE
WORLD.

Blessings on the hand Of woman!
Angels guard its strength and grace
In the palace. cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place!
Would that never storms assailed it,
Ralnbows ever gently curled;
For the hand lat rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world
Infancy's the tender fountain;
Power may with beauty flow:
Mothers first to guide the streamlets;
From them souls unresting grow
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine stroamed or darkness hurled, ...
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother love impearled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the band of woman!
Father, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
RainbOws evermore are hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.

Kissing the Sleeper.

A tall. graceful girl of eighteen or
twenty moved rapidly down one Of
the long corridors of Grace Hospital,
New York, one bright winter morn
ing in 1900. She looked carefully at
each numbered door she passed, until
she finally stopped and noiselessly
pushed one open, entered, closing it
softly behind her. She stood listen
ing a moment just inside, then whisp-
ering softly, "He's asleep" stole on
tiptoe to the side of the bed, which
stood in the farthest corner OF the
room, and looked down upon the oc-
cupant
A low, astonished exclamation burst
from her lips, though it did not awak-
en- the sleeper, who, evidently, under
the influence of an opiate, slumbered
A moment the girl stood irresolute,
as though bewildered, when suddenly
look of relief came into her eyes,
and smile replaced the perplexed ex-
preston on her face.
II must be on the wrong 1oor," she
said, glancing around. "The room is
an exact duplicate of Georges" Then
with lingering look at the sleeper,
"He's very handsome. How pale be
is! Poor fellow! I just believe since
I'm here, I'll-well, kiss him for his
MOTHER
A blush suffused the fair, pitying
face as she stopped and lightly press
ed her lips to the sick mans forehead,
then turned and swiftly left the
room.
Three months later Raymond Win
ton, some little time restored to health
sat before large easel in his studio
putting the final delicate touches to a
wonderful painting in oil.
1t represented room in hospital.
Upon the bod the patient-a man
lay with his face partially turned so
that the features could not be readily
discerned, although in certain sub
tie way the artist had given the i'm
preston that ne was young and hand
some. A sense of familiarity between
the face of the artist and patient was
also dimly felt.
Above the bed, in half STOPPING
posture, as though about to kiss the
sleeper, was a tall, graceful girl, her
beautiful face full of such pity as to
almost seem caress. She was at
tired richly in long, black, cllnging
cloth gown, with jacket of the same
material An ermine collar and muff
accentuated the sombreness of the
robe and large feather-trimmed hat,
at the same time bringing into deli
cate relief the exquisite transparency
of her skin, the gold of her hair, and
the turquoise blue of her eyes.
1t was striking picture; unique iE
design, splendid in workmanship and
finish. No wonder the artist, from
time to time, contemplated it.with de-
light.
"Ab, my dream lady, you are real
enough there to exist in flesh and blood.
No one would take you to be the fig
ment of dream. Lucky thing that
illness of mine! If I mistake not this
picture will bring me greater fame
than any other. l never could love
