LIFE'S COMMON THINGS.

The things Of every day are all so
sweet
The, morning meadows wet with
dew
The dance of daisies in the noon, the
or far-off hills where twilight shad-
ows lie.
The night with all its tender mystery
of sound.
And silence, and Gods starry sky!
Oh. life-the whole life-is far too
fleet,
The things of every day are all so
sweet.
The common things of life are all go
The waking in the warm half gloom
To find again the old familiar room.
The scents and sights and sounds
that never tire
The homely work the plans, the lilt OF
baby's laugh,
The crackle of the open fire.
The waiting, then the footsteps COM
ing near.
The opening door, your hand-clasr
and your kiss.
Is Heaven not. after all, the Now and
Here,
The common things OF life are all
so dear"

OREGON'S DIRTY LINEN. -

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says
of the murder of George Mitchell and
the trial of the Mitchell girl and the
Creffield woman:
IF the Mitchell and Creffield wom-
en- are insane, there Is a statute un-
der which they can be deported to
their homes in Oregon. 1t should be
done. Oregon washes too much dirty
linen in Washington"
Oregon's dirty linen, indeed! If
Oregon had back the money that has
been paid out in court expenses in
cases of murder, suicide, burglary, Sc
duction and general villainy originat-
ing in Seattle, she could build city
almost as large as Seattle.
The reason outside parasites flock
to Seattle like moths to a flame, is
that Seattle attracts them. Oregon is
not alone. This attraction of Seattle
extends to all the country Opie Read
said on his recent visit there that Sc
attic is the wickedest and nastiest city,
morally, in the world.
That's why Seattle is washing dirty
linen.

ALARMED AT BRYAN.

For the past two months the Asso-
ciated Press, whicn is supposed to be
a strictly news concern, has been
manufacturing sentiment in favor of
Bryan, in hopes of stirring up the gold
democrats in the United States to re-
volt against him again and thus
weaken the democratic forces.
All the time public sentiment has
been crystalizing on Bryan as logi-
cal successor to Roosevelt, should the
latter decide not to run, until today
Bryan stands at the very pinnacle of
popularity as presidential timber for
the 1905 campaign.
Instead of causing a split in the
democratic ranks by promoting Bryan
the Associated Press has made him
the lion of the day and now that It
sees the abortion of its plans and
Bryan triumphant. it takes another
tack, and will touch the gold wing on
another spot.
The Associated Press now tells of
an ultra-radical speech made by Bryan
in London, in hopes Or alarming the
conservative element.
But its first work is already too
well done. If Roosevelt does not run,
Bryan will undoubtedly be the next
president. The Associated Press.
Bryan's enemy, in an attempt to kill
him politically in this country has
placed him in the front rank of presi-
Dental candidates.
Six years of mature thought and
experience have made Bryan better,
a bigger, a broader, a safer man, if
possible, than ever and his popularity
with the masses is now stronger and
more far-reaching than ever.
The first choice of the people is
Theodore Roosevelt; second choice is
William Jennings Bryan. This is the
program. Might as well be prepared
for it.

Is OLDEST NEWSPAPER.

The Oldest newspaper in the world
is the Ching Pao, or Official Gazette,
of China. Its exact age is not known,
but the first reference to it in Chinese
history is found i'm the records of the
reign of KaiYuan, of the Tang dynas-
ty. A. d. 71S-14. 1t had undoubtedly
existed for some time previous to this
date and has been published regularly
ever since.
The Ching Pao is sort of court
circular, containing also official de-
crees and royal proclamations. 1t ap-
pears from several offices under sew
eral different names, owing to the
right of several persons to copy and
sell it. There is also a manuscript
copy issued to subscribers one day
earlier than the regular edition.
This remarkable newspaper in all its
editions, is as different from modern
American dailies as could well be. Its
80 or 40 pages are only to inches
wide and about inches deep. 1t has
no advertisements, no pictures and no
headings. The lines run from top to
bottom, and the front is where our
back is. The pages have a wide mar
gin at the top and bottom, but none
on the sides.
The curious and very wonderful
Chinese characters seem to be as per-
feet in the copy that was written by
hand as in the printed editions. and
one marvels how one could produce a
single number in week, much less
a single night. There are mary thous-
and different Chinese characters for
it is a modification of an ancient pic
ture writing somewhat like the heiro-
glyphics of the Egyptians. SO that

matter of years of study.--Press and

THE HEALTH OF OREGON,

DR.. Robert C. Yenney Of the state
board of health. has issued his annual
report and it shows that the health of
this state has been in a satisfactory
condition for t905-1906.
During this period 1866 deaths were
reported, of which 1886 were caused
by contagious diseases. The births
numbered 4439, or an excess over the
death sof 1873.
There were 344 deaths from tuber-
culosis, approximately one out Of
every 10 deaths being from this cause
This is over four times the number
of deaths due to typhoid fever and
nearly three times the number from
all other communicable diseases COM
bined.
or the 4439 births recorded during
the year, there were 2294 males and
2145 females. or this number four
were colored and IA yellow. Thirty
of the births were twins.

SITTING BULLS LETTER.

If Major General Elwell S. Otis,
now on the retired list of the United
States army, still owns a written COM
munication once sent to him by the
Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, he has a mis-
sive which probably would bring n
high price at an autograph sale.
The letter was sent to General Otis
when he was lieutenant colonel of the
22d infantry, regiment which was
in the field in pursuit of the Sioux
Immediately following the Custer mas
sacre, Here is Sitting Bulls letter;
yellowstone want to know
what you are doing travelling on this
road. You scare all my buffalo away,
want to hunt on the place. I want
You to turn back from here. If you
don't I will fight you again. want
you to leave what you have got here
and turn back from here. I am your
friend. SITTING BULL.
81 mean all the rations you have
got and some powder. Wish you
would write as soon as you can"
There was some humor in this conf
munication of Sitting Bull He asked
the doughty Old warrior, Otis. to re-
treat and to leav" all the rations and
a part of his powder, in order that the
Sioux might have forage and lmnlu-
milton enough to put them in condi-
ton to make another Custer massacre
possible. Inasmuch as Otis and his
command, a day or two earlier. had
thrashed Sitting Bull out of his moe
casins. the humor of the communica-
ton becomes more salient.-Chicago

WORST PLACE IN ENGLAND.

In an address to the committee on
housing of the working classes. Rider
Haggard told this week of village in
Essex near Waltham. which he had
discovered the worst place i'm England.
He found 20 men working on farm,
but could see no cottages. Ultimately,
he was shown a brick shed about IA
feet square, looking like a wagon
house. 1t had no windows. Sacks
were laid on the floor around the wall
and there the 20 men slept. A hund-
red yards away was an elm tree on a
hill. There he found the ashes OF a
fire and a rod to hold a pot. This
was the dwelling place-the kitchen
and the parlor of the 30 men. Win
ter and summer they did their cook
ing and spent their Sundays under
the tree

THE HOUSE OF OAK.

His Lordship builds a house of oak,
A cabin small build OF,
An thankful that the roof affords
A glimple OF heavens skoiy.
His barns are filled with golden
wheat,
His fields with wavin corn,
While here, avick a crust of bread
Makes rich the poorest morn.
His Lordship's thousand. acres stretch
From brook to mountain crest,
An Oi but own this meagre spot
We call our humble nest.
His gardens smile with every flower,
Faith, beautiful to see,
But round our hut the Ivy twines
SO close an tinderly.
His Lordship drives the highway
clear,
While in the dusty road
We scarce can bear our happiness,
1t is so great a load.
He has lady-wife an hounds,
A coach an -four, tits true;
But Oi have you, Acushla, an
The little children, too.
His I,ordship spends the nights afar,

Whin your soft voice Is croonin' low

An cheerless is the house of oak,
without loves warnin' glow,
But here. Mavourneen. it's peace

Noblest the world ever knew,
Gladdening the heart with song,
Bidding all troubles adieu;
Smiling the weary day through,
Adding each day to their charms,
Tender and loving and true
These are the girls of the farms.
Every day battling with wrong,
Every dav striving anew,
Helping the old world along,
Living life that is true;
Lovely and fresh as the dew,
Toillng with uncovered arms,
Smiling through all that they do
These are. the girls of the farms.

EBERT HUBBARD "GETS EVEN

Because the daily press has exposed
the unsavory private life of Elbert
Hubbard. the editor of the Philistine,
a publication of more or less question
able morals and sanity. Mr.. Hubbard
''gets even by roasting the daily press
on general principles.
His roast will only serve to streng-
then the publics love for the fearless
newspapers which keep up the con-
tinual fight against wrong, immortality,
corruption and indecency.
Here is just a mild extract from a
two-column roast of the helpless daily
press by Hubbard:

frank good fellowship. expressed by

SNAKE STOPPED TRAIN.
Penns, lvania Express Stopped by %

Inch Garter Snake.
The Allentown, (Pa.) Leader tells
the following snake story:
Running at the rate of so miles an
hour just south of Reading, a train
of the Philadelphia e Reading railway
filled with passengers, came to a sud
den stop last night, halted by the red
light of block signal. After waiting
the minute in which train Is suppos-
ed to clear the short blocks, the engi-
neer proceeded with caution, expect
ing n wreck. or at least broken rail.
An inspector was sent out at once
and found the red still showing. 4
thorough examination overhead and
above ground showed no defect. The
inspector finally removed the top of
underground case, which contains the
electric connections with the rails. A
garter snake, 22 inches long, lay COM
fortably coiled, its head cushioned on
the delicate spring, depressing 1t so
that It made the contact necessary to
set the signal at danger. The reptile
had reached the height of its fame
and met death in SO doing.
