"Idleness is the devils work
shop" it used to be said, and the
time was when people interpreted
this as meaning that Satan
would find employment for those
who could or would not find
it for themselves; that he would
suggest evil thought which
would come to truition in sinful
action. In way this interpre-
tation may still hold good, but
we are inclined to the opinion
that there are some minds that
are 50 torpid and SO dull that
evens Satan himself cannot act
upon them. Among these degen-
crate sonls are the perpetual
loaiers. The country loafer is

man instinct, His living comes

and living usually comes high.

The Cigarettist.

kAN " = *&A NAtAAfAs
Cigarette smokers are often
active, alert, competent men.
They are quick to see an op-
portunity, ready to take advan-
tage of it, appreciative, sympa-
thetic, kind
But when you see such a one,
he is IN his prime, at his best; his
star is at zenith, not on the hor-
izon or at nadir.
Never again will he be as much
of man as he is now.
His future lies behind
He is not growing into a bet
ter man,
He is not in the sline OF evolu-
ton.
If you want a man who will
train on, flee the cigarettest as
you would a pestilence.
He will surely disappoint you,
and the brighter your young
man, the faster will be his de-
scent to avernus.
Cigarette smoking is all right
until the habit begins foreclosure
proceedings, then Beelzebub
himself { Prince OF lawyers) can
not vacate them-you go to the
devils auction. y
Cigarette smoking is not per
iodic it is continuous-a slow,
insiduous, sure poison. Its re-
suits can be foretold as accur-
ately as the expert alienlst can
foresee the end of encipieat loco
motor ataxia.
The cigarette smoker is not a
degenerate because he smokes ci.
garettes Quite often he is a ci-
garette smoker because he is a
degenerate.
In preparing culture bed for
vice germs do not omit cigar
cites. Cigarettes stupefy the
conscience, deaden the brain
place the affectionsin allegiance,
and bring the beast to the sur
face. 7
The choice between cigarettes
and daily doses Of cocaine, NOR.
phine OF bromide is very slight
all and each lead downward to
the gr We.
Dishonor, per6dy, disappoint-
ment, disgrace are the end Of all
And so | close by again sound
ing warning note to the EN-
ployer Of labor Place no conf
dence in the cigarettest, never
promote him-he is an irresp6n-
sibIe being-a defective Love |
him if YOU can: pity him if you
will but give him no chance to
clutch you with his nicotine fin
gers and draw you beneath the
wave. ELBERT HUBBARD.

SHE'LL OF 1912 FOUND

An interesting relic of the war OF
1912 was recently hauled from the
depths of Curtis bay In a fish seine
by b. r. Stull, 1743 Covington street
The relic is a shell which Is supposed
to have been dropped overheard from
one of the British warships which as
sailed Baltimore.
He took the shell to Fort McHen-
rv where the ordnance officer pro-
nounced it a shell of English make
and also informed Mr.. Stull that 1t
was loaded. Mr.. Stull was determined
TO find what was inside, and. placing
If under water, he carefully bored
through the bell metal cap. When
the cap was removed about a gill OF
black powder, which was in good con-
dition. came out. There was some
thing else still inside, so Mr.. stun
continued to dig. and at last dislodged
| l76 leaden bullets, each about IlVe-
eighths of an inch in diameter whicn
had been firmly imbedded in brim-
stone.
The shell Is five and five-eighth'
inches in diameter and. with its con
1 tents. weighs % 1-2 pounds.
! II was learned by Mr.. Stull that tn!
wooden cap was part of the shell
the method OF shooting the shell be
ing to place the cap on the she'll witt
q fuse leading through the cap ant
the hell metal to the interior OF tht
shell. The powder charge of the gul
was then either tied or wrapped
around the outside of the woode'
cap and the whole placed in the gun
When the latter was discharged tn
powder ignlted the fuse. which in tur
carried a spark to the powder In tn
shell. The spark reaching the brim

FTGHTTNG THE SCHOOLS.

In order to vent its contemplate
political spleen on members of the
Rendleton school board. whom the
people OF this district have chosen to
conduct the affairs of the schools. the
Morning Tribune is willing to cast dis
credit upon the schools by imputa-
don. inueudo and insinuation.
Because it expects to make bitter
and narrow partisan fight on Walter
Pierce during the coming campaign in
the county it is now playing politics
N most disgusting way, casting sus-
pacion on the actions of the school
b0ard. limiting at dishonesty and
secrecy in the conduct of the public
schools and IN every way laying foun-
6atIon for prejudice against Pierce.
In this dirty plan the public school
n made to suffer. Strangers not fa-
miliar with the reputation of the
Tribune and reading the attacks in
that paper upon the school board
would be led to believe that most
aisgracenIl and corrupt condition
prevails in the affairs of the schools
m this city, which is fartherest from
the truth.
The district has just voted tax for
three new buildings which are now
the pride of the city. This increased
expense increases the tax levy, and
ihe board. although practlcing the
most rigid economy, has been forced
to call for two mills additional after
the first assessment of 10 mills WAS
scyied.
SINCE this amount of taxes Is alb
solutery necessary to the maintenance
Of the schools. does any taxpayer in
Pendleton oppose it? Would you
cartail the schools in any way that
would cripple their efficiency since
you have just authorized the construc-
uon Of the new buildings?
The school board followed the exact
letter of the law in calling meetings
s,d conducting elections. Every step
IA supported and authorized by ths
srhool laws of the state and the board
"a being uniustly and dishonesty CEN
sured for political reasons by the
Tribune. This Is the entire burden of
lis opposition to the tax levy.
In the first place, the Tribune
should not speak one way or the other
upon this subject until it pays SlSt
hact taxes which it owes the county
COR the past i've years.

TIE CALI OF LOVE.

There is tragedy and sadness in the
return of the Portland man to the
wife of his youth whom he deserted
90 years ago in Kansas
All of these years she has waited
and hoped for his return. All these
years he has cruelty denied her the
fruition of her hope. AT last. old and
infirm, heart-hungry for home and
family, emolttered against his own life
he returns and is embraced and re-
ceived as II he had been absent but a
few days on an errand.
What q wonderful thing is the soul
of a woman and what more wonderful
thing the love that permeates it.
After witnessing such self-sacrificing
and undying affection as this. how
contemptibly debased seem some OF
mans cruel and stinging blows?
For thee | will arouse my thoughts
and try
All heavenward flights. all high and
holy strains!
For three l Will walk patiently
Through the long hours nor count
their moments pains!

trials have been made OF system of

been successful in London, England.
The milk is dried between steam roll

nothing but water has been extracted
and to which nothing but water re-

GOODBYE. jim HILL

The retirement of James j. Hill
from the active management Of the
Great Northern and allied roads on
January 1 will mark an epoch in
American railroad history.
With a boldness that was startling
and a foresight that was almost pro-
phetic. James j. Hill started to build
railroads into the very heart OF the
deserts Of the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Montana, years before settlers came.
People said: what does he expect to
Do, There Is no business for him in
those wiidernesses."

ment and civilization followed. I'm

TRANSMITTING YOUR VOICE
by MAIL.

A postal card that talks--this is the
latest contribution of science to the
comfort OF The world The phono-
postal. as it is called. will bring to
friends at home the spoken words of
the traveller. They may actually hear
his voice as he tells OF the scenes he
Is visiting, or speaks messages of at
fection and cheer.
Jules Verne whose strange, clair
voyant fancy foresaw the submarine
boat the airship and other marvels
years before their appearance, like
wise predicted the modification of
the phonograph, which is now IL real
ity.
The Literary Digest gives II trans
latiun from La Nature, Paris, describ-
ing the invention as follows:
THE phono-postal is an apparatus
intended to record and afterward re-
produce the human voice with the aid
of q piece of cardboard OF the size
and shape of postal card.
"The advantages of the phono-pos-
tended tours there can be nothing
more attractive than to put In ones
automobile or In a corner Of ones
bag this apparatus, which takes up
no more room than two or three boxes
of letter paper. By adding few
dozen cards prepared for use as rec
ords we may, at each stopping place
send to those at home fresh and, as
we may say, vibrant news of our jour
| ney."
In making a phono-postal the send
er speaks into the phonograph. a
piece of prepared cardboard taking
the place of the customary wax CYL
inder.
The diaphragm of the instrument
has a sapphire point that traces the
record In a sensitive layer of what is
called "sonorine," spread over the
| surface OF the card. The essence of
the invention lies In the composition
of this substance. which. although
easily spread on a sheet of cardboard.
possesses all the advantages of the
wax with which the ordinary phouo-
graph cylinders and gramophone disks
are covered. In addition. sonorlne is
so hard that it will safely bear the
roughest handling that 1t is likely to
get in passing through the mails
The French writer says:
"1'he sounds are recorded in spi-
raj beginning at the edge of the card
and growing continually smaller until
the last circle is barely as large az a
| 10-centime piece. The groove made
is so hard that even the two post
marks are not able TO destroy more
than a syllable or two. .
"On one card there may easily be
inscribed rs or so words, which Is
sufficient to give ample news. We
should not forget that the phono-
card merely aims at filling the. same
place as the illustrated postal card.
'The Photographic correspondence
may be put on the side reserved for
address. and this may be written
over the grooves traced by the record
ing diaphragm without the slightest
interference with the reproduction OF
| the sounds"
The invention has been introduced
in Paris.
