Politicians and Newspapers.

The country editor has come to learn
that the public always accepts him at
his own valuation. Journalism is both
4 business and profession. So far as
it sells rews as commodity, it is a
business: 40 far as it endeayors t., di-
rect pub ic opinion and to influence
public action, it is profession. 1t is
an honest business to sell news; it is an
honest profession to mold public senti
ment. if it is honestly done. The aver
age country edito is not always sure OF
his own status, because OF the uncer-
tain status OF his calling. Some country
editors look upon themselves as semi
public charges, like many country
preachers, and subsist largely on do
nations made through the good nature
and tie charity oi their patrons or
neishbors. This type, We hasten to
cav, is rapidly dis ppea'ing from the

The O. egon Pcess Association is de-

THE GROWING HEN.
A jolly Game In Which Any Number
of Players May Join.


Any number of boys and girls may
play this jolly game. The players take
seats In a row or In a circle, as they
prefer, and leader Is chosen, who
takes position at one end of the row
or in the center of the circle.
The leader begins the game by say
ing, 81 have n hen," and the player at
the leaders left hand repeats it after
him to his left hand neghbor, who in
turn repeats it to his left hand neigh
aS Ror and pF With alle tbs, nb9Tesf
turns back to his right hand neighbor
and asks, HAS she feathers?
This question travels back to the
leader, who answers, "She has feath-
ers." The answer travels down the
line to the left, when the last player
asks of the player on his right, "Can
she walk 2" When this question reaches
the leader the play continues with an
swer and questions, "She can walk"
"How does she walk?" 'Wiggledy-
woggledy, wiggledy-woggledy."
AS the leader says this he initiates
with his hands the walk of chicken,
and each player as he repeats 1t does
likewise.
"Can she crow?' "She can crow"
each initiating the crow of rooster.
These questions and answers may be
continued to cover all hens actions,
the object In the game being to keep
from laughing, which will be found
hard thing to do, as the game makes
lots of fun.
Any one who laughs during the game
or who repeats question or an an
swer wrong-as 1t must be an exact
imitation-must pay forfeit.

How nice 'twould be If knowledge grew
On bushes, as the berries dol
Then we could plant our spelling SEED
And gather all the words we need.
The sums from off our states we'd WIPE

And go into the fields and pick
Whole bushels of arithmetic.

We'd just go out and shake the trees.
And grammar then in all the towns
Would grow with proper verbs ana

Great bunches of geography,
And all the passersby would stop
And marvel at the knowledge crop,

No creature of the jungles of Java Is
more feared than the terrible python.
A hunter tells of his experiences with
one of these huge snakes. Cunning
one day near the Wasli river, In the
interior of the island" he says, Il
watched number of wild hogs coming
to the water to drink. Suddenly the
head of a snake rose above the grass
and hog squealed. A python had
seized full grown one, easily three
feet high at the shoulder. and thrown
two coils around the body. Under the
tremendous pressure the hog seemed
to lengthen, and when the snake un-
coiled / saw only strip of meat,
nothing distingulshable but the head.
I shot the snake. 1t was twelve feet
long and seven inches through, and
vet It's coils had crushed the bones OF
its prey like chips. There Is no doubt
that hidden away In vast swamps or
the interior are many anacondas OF
enormous size Parties have been
made up to hunt them, but the mala-
rious climate drives them back"

THE WILD CARROT.
One of the Most Interesting of Our
Native Plants.

One of the Most Interesting of Our
Native Plants.
A weed has been defined as "a plant
desired" Surely the wild carrot is a
most weedy weed from the point Of
view of that definition and of the dis
like of the farmer. AS to the per-
sistence, our veteran farmer naturalist
John Burroughs tells us: "Cut off the
head of the wild carrot, and In a week
there are five heads in room of the
one. Cut off these, and by fall there
are ten looking defiance at you from
the same root"
The only fault of the wild carrot,
as of other so called weeds, Is too great
success in life. 1t is guilty only Of
persistence. But from a nature lovers
point of view there are, strictly speak
ing, no weeds. No plant is disliked.
On the contrary, the more a plant is
able to strive successfully for life the
more of interest 1t is. We can also
see and appreciate the beauty without
the "weedy" dislike.
If in this spirit observers will eX-
anime the wild carrot the verdict will
be that it is one of the prettiest and
most interesting of our native plants.
The beauty is especially noticeable
the full bloom, or Queen Anne's lace
form. Perhaps some may regard the
birds nest form as the most interest
ing.-Exchange.

In the Zeiss glass works at jena four
teen doctors of science are employed,
and these include mathematicians as
well as physicists. The great German
aniline color works employ more "sci-
entific" than technical chemists. AT
one of them, for instance, fifty-hye sci
entific and thirty-one technical chem
lists are engaged, at a second 145 scien-
tiflc chemists and 175 technologists, at
q third 148 scientific chemists for sew
enty-fiye technicists. The research lab
oratories of these works are lavishly
equipped. One of them possesses a IL
brary of $4,000 volumes. A second
spends 10000 francs year on glass
ware. These things are no doubt ex-
penslve, but these great factories still
manage to pay a dividend of from 20
to 80 per cent. Every newly discovered
substance which is usable Is patented,

A Hundred

face. A mating blackbird trilled In
the greening marsh. Harwell In his
running pants and jersey, with his
bare legs and sandaled feet, with his
fine head tossed back and the muscles
of his back ripping beneath his jersey,
was as beautiful in his perfection of
youth as the spring landscape through
which he ran.
1t was getting a little warm for the
daily cross country trot. but the spring
meets would be on In another week,
and after that cap and gown in ex-

ond, he must be careful of that right
thigh muscle. He had strained it In
the fall as quarterback. And, lastly,
this third necessity being unknown to
the trainer, he must win the hundred
yard dash in the Colwell- Wilton meet
Small had become more than physical.
To win first place in the meet was to
win first place in Alice Summers eyes
at least, this was the conclusion
reached by Harwell.
He hurdled the pasture bars into the
meadow. 1t was rather wet, and the
smell of bruised cowslips and tender
new sprung mint followed the soft pad
of his sandals. At the sand pits Har-
well halted at the sound of his name
shouted at the top of lusty lungs.
Small, In knickerbockers, was pound
ing away with his geological hammer
at huge bowlder.
"T'll chill If l stopw called Harwell
merrily "Why aren't you running?"
"Got this bloomin' five-ffths geology
to make up tnlS week.
''Too badv' shouted Harwell, bound
ing with his long strides toward the
far side of the pits.
Small looked after him, then mali
cious look crossed his eyes. If-if Har-
well should get chilled! He sprang to
his feet.
"Wait! Waitw he roared. 81 want"
then "Great heavensp he cried. Then
there was silence.
Harwell did not turn his head at
Small's call He grinned appreciative-
ly to himself. Cant work me that
way" he thought. "a chill for me
would be very valuable to Small" and
he crossed the little meadow brook
with a careless bound. Then vague
sense of apprehension entered his mind.
SmalIs roar had stopped very sudden
ly. He wondered nhy. Perhaps he
ought to go back, yet he kept on.
But the sense of apprehension grew
and would not go. Finally, with a lit
tie groan at his own foolishness, Har-
well turned and retraced his course to
the sand pits, his stride never break
ing. At the brow of the slope he gave
a startled ejaculation. In springing to
his feet Small had dislodged great
slice of the sand pit wall. To his arm
pits in sand, with face white and sense
less and the sand creeping constantly
down to sift higher and higher about
him, was Small.
Harwell dashed toward him. AS he
ran he snatched up an old tin can half
full Of rain water and dashed 1t In
SmalPs face. Small opened his eyes.
"I'm suffocating, Harwell," he said.
"Oh, no, you're not; not by a long
chalk. Here, take this can and dig to
beat the band. I'll use this piece of
shovel, and we'll have you out In a
jiffy."
He set to work feverishly. The bit
of shovel proved very efficient welded
by Harwells sinewy arm, and the tin
can In Small's hands was not to be de-
spised. Harwell worked with one eye
on the edge of the pit. The sand lay
ers, one by one, were loosening. If he
did not get Small free before they fell
well, there was no use in thinking of
| that. Now Small was free to his waist
line, now to his thighs, now-silently
swiftly, a great wedge of sand gave
way, and Small was again buried tc
his shoulders.
Harwell looked about. The pits ha(
