THE CHIN ESE WIFE.

The Chinese wife is nearly always
constant, chaste and affectionate.
Chinese stories like to dwell on the
love of women that has no limit.
This is why widowhood is revered and
suicide on the part Of the bereaved
woman is. not condemned in the old
classics. 1t is because of this general
acknowledgment of the unwavering
constancy of wives that the tickle
woman is held up to scathing satire in
their plays and, proverbs. 1t was
from Chinese story that Voltaire
drew his inspiration for the tale of the
woman who promised her husband on
his deathbed that she would not mar.
ry till his grave was dry and was
found next day flaming the mound to
hasten the drying process.
Much Of this contentment on the
part Of the Chinese women NAV no
doubt arise from the common interest
of the husband and wife in the grow i.
ing family. You will often see fathers
wheeling baby carriages along the
streets, just as you see older
sisters carrying the little fellows or
mothers taking them on a visit to
their neighbor for a mutual compari-
son Of baby ailments and engaging
traits. Until his school days begin
the little boy does about as he pleases,
but as soon as his day OF study begin
be is put under very strict discipline.
Girl babies are less welcome ar.
rivals in a family than their little
brothers. especially if there be sew
eral of them already. Among very
poor people in time of famine girls
are sometimes sold into slavery by
their parents, both to rescue the rest
of the family and the girls. themselves
from starvation. The lot of the slave
girl is hard one She has none of the
right of a free woman. But it ought
to be added that that the Chinese look
on this custom with great disfavor.
A slave owner is nearly always a
thoroughly hated individual in the
community-Pzgrins.

Give q lawn that Gods my feet,
Close grown and fresh and soft and clean;
A clump Of trees to check tho heat,
A flush Of roses on tho green.
An ancient stream that flows thereby,
With all its thousand smiles displayed;
A hammock swinging not too high.
Well hung within a magic shade.
Three little maids with hair of gold.
Whose laughter scarce disturbs my dream
A jug OF cider. icy cold:
A dish OF Strawberries and cream.
And for a guardian of our ground.
Well tried through many changing years,
A fond and faithful little hound,
With bsgdy legs and spreading ears.
And let tn world 60 ringing past;
Let others range from shore to shore;
These simple pleasures bind me fAst;
Give me but these-I ask no more.

HINTS FOR ORATORS.

w len IN the course OF human events
it becomes Necessary to get ut' and
make speech do not forget that pub
lie speaking is good conversation.
Don't yell and, therefore, talk over
the heads OF your auditors. Do not
talk at them, but to them. When
practicable good idea is to scan the
faces Of your hearers, beginning at the
front on your left and proceeding from
left to right, back and forth, until you
have observed the occupant of the
last seat on your right in the rear Of
your audience. People are fa.tered
by the speaker noticing them. Be
sides, it helps to "hypnotize" your
audience.
Gesture is the only universal Ian
guage. Combined with the Ian
guage of countenance it is understood
by the entire world, for it is the lam
qua ye of nature. Prepare few SEN
tences with appropriate gestures, and
your audience will believe you to be a
past master in the art of gesticulation.
To thrill an audience you must ar
range sentences and accompanying
gestures so that both al the same time
shall reach the climax in your elo-
quence.
On stepping to the front Of the plat
form have full breath as you greet
your audience. Surely never meet it
with all your batteries run out. The
most eminent orators and actors stim-
ulate their emotional nature by daily
drill in vocal exercises. A good prac-
tice is the repeating of the alphabet
and its various sounds in different
tones, pitch and force. Constant prac
tice clears and strengthens the vocal
powers, as observed in newsboys, train
callers and auctioneers, says Elmer
E. Rogers, a we'll known Chicago law
yer, in the Chicago Tribune. The
most difficult Of all oratory is tue cam
paign political speech, and he on whom
the politicians agree as a first class
"spellbinder" may by preparation pu t
up good speech on any topic.
Outdoor speaking is perplexing, as
in the attempt to reach all hearers the
speaker is liable to pitch his voice toe
high, which then does not carry sc
we'll as a more natural tone. If con.
venlent speak toward the noise OF
music.
The less a speaker knows the long.
er it takes him to say it. Therefore
cut your speeches short.
Public speaking is a profession
Animal food promotes eloquence, an6
the orator ought to have good sleeE
just before his appearance to speak
No one except a political candidate is
obliged to shake hands and aacept hos
pital;ty. Avoid this ply ysical, drair
before speaking.

official Button VIII BE Issued and
Placed on Sale Soon.

The following interesting mention
of the work OF the Sacajawea Monu-
ment association. appears in the club
department of the Oregon Daily Jour
nal:
Last Tuesday afternoon the execu-
tive committee of the Sacajawea
Statue association held an interest
ing and busy session. The most inn
portant matter that came up for dis
cussion was the plans for putting on
sale a Sacajawea button, to be known
as the exposition button" and which
will entitle every child under 15 years
OF age owning one to a free ticket TO
the exposition the day the statue is
unveiled.
II was decided not to use the de-
sign that has been the trademark"
of the association since its organiza-
ton. as 4; was not copyrighted, and
private parties have taken advantage
OF It to advertise their own business
at the expense of the association. The
design selected for the exposition
button" will be the official picture OF
the statue, which has just been copy
righted by the association, with ap-
propriate dates and motto.
The contract for making 1000 of
these buttons was let Tuesday to a
local firm. A joint committee meet
ing was held few evenings before
of Red Men and the members of the
Sacajawea board, which was the first
step toward elaborate unwilling cere-
monies
Plans were outlined in a general
way and referred back to the differ
ent organizations for approval. It il
expected that within the next week
something definite will be decided
upon. The Red Men of the city. state
and nation, have accepted the invita-
ton of the association to participate
in the unwilling ceremonies. and the
day will be dedicated jointly to the
two organizations.
AS soon as the arrangements are
completed Director General Goode
will name the exact date for the cere-
monies and the committees will be-
gin preparations for making II one OF
the great days of the exposition. Con-
tributions for the statue since las
week have been received from F'unks.

FOR A CONVENTION
PRESENT CONSTITUTION
NEARLY A DEAD LETTER,

Salem Journal Suggests Changes That
Might Be Made to Great Advantage
An the States Organic Law-Among
Them TO Provide for Flat Salaries,
10 Salary the State Printer, and
Affecting Various Problems In City,
Township and County Management.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-08

There is a general sentiment In ia
vor of a new constitution in Oregon.
but the first step taken to submit a
bill for a constitutional convention
an issue is raised by the lawyers OF
the state senate that threatens to de-
feat the needed reforms that could
be accomplished by the construction
of a new constitution, says the Salem
Journal.
The old constitution is as nearly a
dead letter as it is possible to make
the organic law OF the state. 1t is
violated daily in letter and in spirit
by nearly every department OF the
government and by nearly every citi-
zen OF the state. Its terms fixing the
salaries Of the state officials are
openly and notoriously violated. Its
limitation of $4,000 on the debt of
every county has been trampled in
the dust and single counties have
debts running into the hundreds of
thousands OF dollars. While many OF
the old features can be retained. It is
urgently In need of revision to meet
the demands of a rapidly expanding
commonwealth.
1t is charged by some that the in
tention of the movement for a new
constitution Is to do away with the
Initiative and referendum amendment.
But such is not the case. as some of
the principal advocates of a new or
ganic law are champions of direct
legislation and some are against that
manner of enacting laws,
! Many Changes Needed.
Among the proposed changes Of the
constitution that are advocated as
wise or necessary, are the following:
To allow any number of amend
ments to be proposed in the legisla-
ture any session.
To allow colored people to reside in
the state.
To permit registration OF electors
within 30 days OF an election.
To allow the governor to veto sin
gle items of any appropriation bill
To allow the state printer to be
placed on a salary.
To allow cities TO make and amend
their own charters.
To change the time for state cleo
fion from June to November.
To give state officials flat salaries.
To change liability of stockholders
for insolvent corporations.
To allow counties to increase their
Indebtedness.
To abolish the county probate court
To establish township government.
To legalize irrigation and drainage
laws.
Bill for Constitutional Convention.
The substitute bill for a constitu-
tional convention, reported favorably
by the judiciary committee of the
state senate, provides that the consti-
tutional convention shall be held at
Salem. January s. and that it shall
contain 30 members, 80 of them from
the state at large. chosen by the su-
preme court. and so by the electors of
the state. The 60 candidates are to
be nominated only by petition, and

Travelling Auditor.

The exhibit OF the financial af
fairs of this city for the past two
years clearly shows how expensive
a defective accounting system can
be to the people. 1t also demon
strates the absolute necessity of
the tax payer taking a deep in
terest in public affairs and future
elections.
The State government has found
the wisdom Of creating the Office
of "'Traveling Auditor of State
Banks. The U. s. Government
has it's travelling auditors for the
National Banks and for it's various
money handling Offices, scattered
throughout the country.
The recent experience of this
accentuates the necessity of the
next Legislature providing for
travelling auditors, one for each
congressional district, accountants
of known ability, whose duty 1t
shall be TO periodically audit the
accounts of all incorporated towns
and of the several parishes in the
respective districts.
The expense of the auditors
need not rest upon the State
Treasury, but upon the towns and
parishes of the district, bearing
some relation to their respective
assessment. This system would
insure a more conservative and
legal administration of public
monies.
