THE BURRO.

The burro is a tiny beast,
No bigger than a ST. Bernard,
But he can haul an awful load
Ger any road. however hard.
BE weighs about three hundred pounds,
And he can carry on has back
Six hundred pounds of copper ore
Tied UP securely IN sack.
We lazy mortals ought 10 learn
A lesson from this little beast
We groan and moan at every turn
When we are burdened IN the least.

Who squirm around and rail at fate,

Obliged 10 carry twice our weight

TILE EAGLES EYE.

All birds OF prey have peculiarity
OF eye structure that enables them 10
see near or distant objects equally
well. An eagle will ascend more than
n mile I'm height, and from that great
elevation can perceive its prey, small
though 1t may be, and pOunce on 1t
with certainty. Yet II can examine an
object close at hand just as well, thus
possessing a power Of accommodating
its sight 10 distance that is impossible
10 the human eye.
In looking at this page you find that
there Is some particular distance, prob
ably about ten inches, at which you
can see each letter distinctly and read
the words. but II you move the page
OF 10 a distance Of forty inches, or
bring Il up TO within five inches Of
your eyes, you cannot read II at all.
But the eagle has the power Of alter.
ing what is called the focus OF It's eye
as IL pleases II has only 20 look AZ an
object from a distance of two miles or
q few inches 20 see 10 equally well.
The ball Of the eye Is surrounded by
fifteen little plates, called sclerOtic
bones. They form a complete ring, and
their edges slightly overlap each other
when II looks az a distant object this
circle OF bones expands, and the ball
OF the eye. being relieved from the pres
sure. becomes fattcr, when u looks AZ
q near object the circle contracts and
the ball Of the eye Is squeezed into
rOunder form.
All this is done invoiuntarily; u is
simply a provision ~ nature. In human
beings a very round eye is near-sigh'ed,
and n fat eye is far-sighted; and the
eagle has first one and then the other.

WHEN A REINpEER's ANGRY.

WHEN A RENDERS ANGRY.
We were forced to wait three days
after IL had stopped showing for
crust 10 form, so that we could travei
again. Ii was with many misgivings
that we began the last half OF the jour
ney, since the snow was now very deep
and the danger OF our sinking into
drifts was great. TO add 10 our gem
cral feeling OF fear the reindeer be-
havcd very badly and were exceed
ingly unruly The wind had moder-
ated somewhat but Il was still intense
ly cold.
We had Travelled half the day with
out any serious mishap, and were be-
ginning TO forget our fears at starting
out when we sped merrily down a
mountain side singing and hellolng at
| the top OF our voices. and ran into a
gulch and stuck there. The song
stopped In our throats, aud we sprang
10 our feet TO sink waist deep In the
drifts that had cntrapped us.
Every movement of our bodies sank
us deeper I'm the snowdrifts, and the in.
furiated reindeer, finding themselves
caught in the bankcd-up snow almost
| 10 their launches. turned upon us and
would have paved us to death but for
the forethought OF Oosilik who, seeing
our danger, sprang forward and, hoist
ing the overturned pulks in bis strong
arms. brought them down over our
heads and shoulders and pinned US out
OF sight In the snow ~~''-'-~~-sssAEvc4
We heard the hoOfs OF Uncle Ben
beating OF the pulk's side as he paved
up the snow in his efforts to get at US.
and II we had not held 10 the straps
and had not kept the pulk over us he
would have tossed IL into the air with
one sweep OF his horns, and would still
have had his bout with US. In which
case we should have been helpless and
completely at his mercy.
For the first time we had occasion to
see how fierce an angry reindeer can
be. When he was convinced that he
could not reach MS, Uncle Ben turned
upon Oosilik. and we heard the Eskimo
shouting and clubbing the deer as he
ran in and out Of the pulks in swift
circuit pursued by the believing rein
deer
We spent an exciting half hour under
the pulks. with the hoOfs Of the deer
rafting like hail on the frozen boards.
and then the unusual cOmmotion
ceased all at once, for the reindeer had
found n lichen bed. In n jify they
were paving up the snow In thclr
hurry 10 get at the succulcnt moss,
and we were forgotten.
Amallk and Oosilk lifted the pulks
from our heads and dug Ms out OF the
snow and set us on our feet by the
time the reindeer had eaten themselves
into a passablc humor Amallk ana
Oosllik led them back 10 the pulks.
We had four hours Of travelling be.
fore we came I'm sight Of the corral
that had sent Us the reindeer from
Eaton station As soon as the deer
scented the wcll-known corral they
qulckened their strides 50 that we
reached the station before IL was quite
dark. and crawled from the sleds with
a deep feeling Of relief. glad beyond

about all the corn they cared for twice

FOR EARLY CLOSING.
Grants Pass Tires OF the Burdens of
the Liquor Traffic.

At the meeting of the city council
next Thursday evening an ordinance
providing for the closing of saloons
during the morning hours from /
O'Clock to o'clock will be put on its
third reading and final passage, says
the Grants Pass Courier. The adop-
ton of this ordinance will meet the
approval of all who have the best in
terests of Grants Pass at heart.
This ordinance is supported quite as
strongly by the better class of saloon
men, as it is by the temperance peo-
pie, for it is only the saloons that ca
ter to the tough element that desire
to keep open all night.
Men who respect themselves are not
roaming the streets and frequenting
saloons during late hours at night
and husbands who have any regard al
all for their wives and their families
will be at home at a seasonable hour.
Laboring men who desire to be at
their work at a proper hour and to
have a clear brain and a steady hand
do not frequent saloons at the mid
sional men, who expect to be alert
and to meet the sharp competition of
the times, have no desire for the all
night saloon. Many a clerk and many
a laboring man has lost his position
by reason of patronizing the all-night
saloon and then coming to his work
with dulled brain and a cross, irrita-
BILE temper.
The easy victim for the gambler is
the man who is found in the saloon
after midnight. The gambler, like the
other predatory animals, sleeps during
the day that he may be fully awake
and vigilant at night IN the pursuit
of his prey, while the man who has
his day hours occupied in earning
money, If up late at night and piled
we'll with liquor becomes lost to rea-
son and prudence and readily risks
his money at the card table and the
slot machine that have been made a
sure thing to the dealer.
The majority of the disturbances
in saloons occur late at night when
the all-night rounder crazed with
liquor, is ready for a quarrel and a
fight on the least provocation.
The provision of the ordinance re-
quiring that the saloons take down
all screens and curtains during the
closed hours is necessary to the en-
forcement of the ordinance.
If the saloons are allowed to be
shut off from street view, there will
be a temptation on the part of the
'dishonorable men to continue busi-
ness during the closed hours and to
hold such in check, it is necessary that
the policemen have a clear view of
the room that they may see that the
law is being observed

At Cincinnati, o.. on April 2, at the
Vine Street Congregational church.
the pastor Herbert S. Bigelow, dis
cussed the attitude of the church to-
ward Standard Oil money. He said
in part:
1t is a significant sign of the times
that a man so sober and even so
conservative in his thought and utter
ance as DR.. Washington GLADDEN..
should be outspoken in his objection
to Standard Oil money. He asserts
that this money is the product of
"the most relentless rapacity known
to modern commercial history" and
that the church which accepts it in
vites the contempt of millions OF
honest men,"
A few years ago l attended a meet
ing of clergymen where Henry d.
Lloyd's book, Wealth Versus Com
monwealth," was reviewed and dis
cussed. The ministers, one and all,
expressed complete sympathy with
Mr.. Lloyd's indictment of the Stand
ard Oil company. But they were al
most as unanimous in the opinion
that a preacher ought not to leopard
ize the peace of his congregation by
treating such subjects in the pulpit.
Now, consider the memorial of the
New England preachers in objecting
to taking this money on the ground
that the methods of the Standard Oil
company are morally iniquitous and
socially destructive" and in refusing
to be put "in a relation implying
honor to the donor"
Not an Individual Problem.
While this is gratifying as evidence
of the increasing interest that good
people are taking in social problems,
it leaves much to be desired. This is
not wholly an individual problem,
and we do not reach the root of the
matter by pointing finger of scorn
at particular individuals. Primarily
it is question of wise or unwise So
cial arrangements, The remedy is to
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-06

be found in social readjustments, not
In personal denunciation.
All know that the inordinate power
Of the Standard OH company has
been built up, very largely. by dis
elimination in railroad rates. It is
not enough that the church should
denounce as bad the men who have
p"ofited by such determination. It Is
more important 70 teach people the
need Of taking the railroads out of
private hands. that passenger and
freight rates may be as impartial as
'he price o. postage stamps.
Who + 10 Flame?
Mr. Rockefeller is not more knave
than the other fellows have been
fools. If the rest Of us had given
more thought to public questions we
would have owned our own railroads
and he could not then have done all
this wickedness. Would it not be more
Christian for us to repent of our neg
lect than to declare from the house
tops our scorn of him?
Rockefeller a Result.
To denounce this one man is to mis-
direct the thought of the people. At
tention SHOULD be turned to the bad
social arrangements which furnish so
many opportunities for injustice and
rapacity.
Surely the people who have done
and are doing nothing to correct
these conditions cannot escape their
share of the guilt. Their Indictment
does not carry the weight it should,
because they do not come into court
with clean hands. Others have been
guilty of sins of commission. We have
sinned grievously by our political
prejudices and our mental sloth and
neglect of civic duties.
If the good people of this country
had had the intelligence and the pub
lie spirit which a citizen of the great
republic ought to have. a Rockefeller
would be an impossibility. Therefor,
repentance is more in order than
censure.
The church that faces these social
problems intelligently and courageous
ly will not need to reject Standard Oil
money. 1t will not be offered any.
