Platonic Friendships and Their

their own tale. Everybody sees but Jill-and
possibly Jack
At last Jill sees it too. Her nerves are worn
to fiddle strings; she has fretted herself into a
genuine passion for her onetime comrade. Were
she to give him time she feels that he might
come to care for her-but meanwhile everybody
is talking-and after all he might never come to
care The intolerableness of her position haunts
her, preys on her mind, and it is at this stage
that to save her dignity she often makes the
second great mistake of her life and marries the
first who asks her.
But it sometimes happens that poor Jill doesn't
find any man handy ready to help her save her
dignity. Her poor little brain aches with futile
schemes to turn the tables and she goes blum
dering on avoiding Jack and asserting, in season
and out of season, relevantly and irrelevantly,
that Jack is the last she would ever marry,
and assuring everyone with feverish insistance
that she intends to marry money. Jack, of
course, has very little-so also have most of the
other men she knows, and the effect of these re-
peated statements of worldly intention is to
queer" poor Jill once and for all in the eyes of
her male friends
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-29

a
Il Friendship" makes the biggest mistake
EMSsSSi of her life-that is from a worldly
Szgy point of view. She may take moon
light sleigh rides with Tom-she may
write whole reams of scented note paper to Dick
she may even plan elopement with Harry
but not one of these escapades will mar her pros
poets SO much as the innocent and platonic
friendship with which she wiles away the hours
when neither Tom, Dick or Harry are to be
found.
Ot course, there's lot to be said for such a
friendship between man and a woman. In many
cases it is broadening, helpful and source of
keen enjoyment both sides After all is said
and done, however, the price is high, the girl
has to pay the piper, and the benefits, while un
doubtedly great, may be procured in other ways
at considerably less cost.
The girl has to pay the pper-I have seen it
happen time and time again.
At first all goes well. Jack and Jill are smil
ingly accepted by their circle of friends as the
best of chums, and if heads sometimes nod wisely
and whispered conjectures are occasionally heard
Jack and Jill are the last persons to know Of
them.
Now Jill, if she be mortal maid fatters her
self that everybody thinks she could marry Jack
any time she pleased. Jack, unless he be hero,
feels hattered at her evident pleasure in his So
ciety, while way back in his inner consciousness
unowned even by himself-is the feeling that the
"Platonic" nature of the affair absolves him
from responsibility. And they both feel con-
vinced in their hearts that the other would re.
spond readily were he or she really to fall in
love.
When you come right down to it Platonc
Friendship is not at all as idyllic as it is sup
posed to be-it is in reality very impractical and
little selfish, and this brings us to the second
act of the little drama,
"a whisper causes the curtain to ring up.
Some one has limited to Jill that Jack and she
will soon tire of each other" "Of each other"
mark you-not that Jill will tire of Jack This
Jill thinking. 1t is intolerable to her that such
a thing should be thought or said-she calls to
mind his recent behavior and decides that lately
he hasn't been quite so attentive as usual. Per
haps he is growing tired of her! With flaming
cheeks she determines she must win him back to
his old allegiance-must prove to everybody how
devoted he s-yes must-or she feels she will be
the laughing stock of all who know them.
And now for poor Jill come troublous times.
In sheer self-defense she struggles to regain his
devotion and keep up appearances and in worri-
ment over his fancied neglect she magnifes her
own feelings and mistakes her wounded vanity
for the pangs of dawning love. Other men find
her distrait, silent and nervous. When Jack is
near her glances unconsciously stray in his di-
rscton, and her forced gayety and white face tell

A Dime for Each Baby

entire State of Minnesota-and other States
more than likely-for each mite of humanity ne
brings into the world and regularly reports.
These dimes are not the birthright of the ba-
bies but the reward of the doctors, so the Min
nesota law has it, and they be collected after
each birth or yearly the respective physicians
of city, town or village think best. A bill of
ten years standing be collected provided the
doctor presenting it bring forth complete rec
ords of each birth for which he makes his claim,
and that these births can be found properly reg
istered on the books of the Board of Health
After ten years the debt is outlawed; that is
to say that the fee cannot be collected for chill
dren who at the time of presenting the bill are
more than ten years of age. In presenting a
bill eleven years old all births, counting back
ward, of the eleventh year, would be discounted
and only the tenth year and all following it be
considered.
The clerk in the Registry Office will go back
and trace out the records of births, free of
charge, for one year only, That is to say in 1905
a doctor may present bill for the births of 1905
at which he oficiated and have it O. X at the

but for looking UP records of 1904 or further
back fee of per cent. is charged on each rec
ord searched for.
DR.. Perkins had known of this peculiar privi-
lege of the physicians of his State for number
of years, but always forgotten to test it. In fact
the law had dropped into disuse.
Last December while resting after trying
winter he amused himself by getting together
his vital statistics, as he termed his birth rec
ords, with view of testing the validity of the
law about which he had heard.
Being a physician of wide reputation, and thus
very busy one, he found that one years find
ings were so numerous that he hadn't leisure to
90 back further than 1904
With the array of records for births of these
two years in his pockets he started for the re-
cording department of the Health Board and
there demanded $3.50 for the year of 90 In
which he had brought 80 lusty infants into the
world and $3.50 less 1 per cent. for 1904, dur
ing which year he had offciated at Sc births
ms was not counting the work at the two hos
pitals with which he is connected.
At first the clerk to which the doctor present
ed his bill looked mystifed, and DR.. Paul Per-
kins was a wellknown man in that department,
ventured to ask what the joke
HAS President Roosevelt instgated a new

anti-race suicide theory?" he facetously queried,
and it took DR.. Perkins some little time to con-
vince this clerk and the several others who had
gathered about to watch the fun that his account
was a true bill and that he expected it paid.
''Whew!" whistled Dr. Dick. who had been an
interested spectator you're putting up strong
bluff, Paul. expect to carry it!
''Now you hold your peace, Dick, and watch
developments. You've got few things to learn
yet"
While the doctors we're chatting each other good
naturedly the clerk was flying hither and yon
searching for the law which would make the
fee bill valid It was discovered after a great
amount OF searching to the astonshment of all
but DIR. Perkins
The two physicians decided that they would

majority.
The doctors met and the plan was adopted Be

this way should be put, however, il was decided
to send circular letter TO all the physicians Of
Minnesota informing them Of the movement and
inviting them 10 join.
Ten cents is also allowed by this law on every
death registered, and the doctors expect TO es-
tablish fund worthy of consideration, and with
which a considerable amount Of good can be

Price

Jack begins to see it by this time. If he is a
manly man he will stem the tide of talk by be-
ing very nice to Jill. He need not be afraid she
will misunderstood are quick to discern
motives, and she will not mistake his but will
feel grateful.
But in the average instance Jack does not
show up particularly well at this juncture. He
usually goes away, leaving Jill alone with her
supreme folly and the babel of talk it has set
going. And when the curtain rings up on the
last act we find Jill with the first seeds of an ex-
ceeding bitterness in her heart listessly living
through the empty days. One by one she takes
UP the threads of her life, backwards and for
wards must she ply her shuttle and weave her
web of fate even if the gay hues have changed
to drab and gray.
She has learned her lesson, but at what cost I?
Her girlhood has been saddened and wasted her
womanhood is embittered. She may "get over
it" as the saying goes-Dut there is always scar
left. and such scars are slow to heal.
So don't play at "Patonics," girls, if you
don't want to pay the piper Remember, even
although you never give Jack a thought-the
world will say it was the other way round.

dying than living" His chin looked very square.
His way was comparatively clear before him,
and he was thankful for that. He had felt lost
that time at Simla, caught up and tangled in a
great love, suffocated and bewdered by it.
'You think that?" Her eyes were wide open
That any man should so miss the realities seemed
impossible. Then she remembered the manner of
man he was, the innate directness and simplicity
of his nature. 1t was just the blundering thing
he would have thought.

you, 1t was great thing to do. He was the

At the regular annual meeting OF
the board of trustees of Pendleton
academy, held at the law offices of
Carter. Ralcy & Raley, last night Dr..
c. ]. Smith was elected president Of
the board of trustees, in place of Col
onel James H. Raley, who resigned
from the board on account of his
membership in the board of regents
of Weston normal school, which insti-
tuition will row resume, since the re-
ferendum vote sustained the school
appropriation.
Other officers elected for the ensu-
ing wear last night We're w. L. Van

Nuys and Bert Huffman.
The regular business of the academy
was transacted, the election of Rev.
w. II. Bleakney principal, of Prof.
Noordhoff as assistant principal, and
of Miss Alice Van Nuys as teacher of
Latin and history was confirmed and
applications for the position vacated
by Miss Bess Craig were received al

Every effort is now being made to
establish a dormitory for the academy

will be accomplished. The matter of
introducing the Spanish language into
the course has been favorably acted
upon by the board and a teacher of
this language win be employed next
year. The demands for Spanish and
music are very marked and a course
of four years with music as the lead
ing feature will perhaps be introduce

meeting for this purpose will perhaps
be held in the near future. The
board now consists of the following:

LEE KENNARD UNDER ARREST
Accused of Passing n Bogus Check at
Walla Walla.

Lee Kennard, the we'll known horse
dealer, has gotten into difficulty at
Walla Walla, and is accused OF having
passed a bogus check not long ago. He
was arrested on last Friday evening
and placed in the city jail, at that
place.
Adolph Schwarz, proprietor of the
Fountain saloon, picked out Kennard
as the man who passed bogus $22
check on him nearly month ago and
he was arrested by the police. Ken
nard seemed very much surprised at
the charge, and said II he passed
a bad check on Schwarz 1t must have
been when he was drunk.
According to SchwarZ, Kennard
cashed check drawn on the Farm
ers' Savings bank for s22 at the
Fountain saloon the day Norris &
Rowe's circus was in town. When
the check was presented to the bank
the next day the teller failed to find
where Kennard had an account with
the bank. Kennard disappeared, but
arrived in town a few days ago and
was spotted by Mr.. Schwarz yesterday
and the latter lost no time in hunt
ing up an officer and having Kennard
arrested.
Later,-Mrs. Kennard sent the
money to the Walla Walla officials
and Kennard was released from GUS
| tody.

CONTRACTING ALKALI.
Bought by Buffalo Man for % and so
Cents Per Ton.

That the alkali beds of eastern Or
egonian are of commercial value is
shown by the fact that agents are
again in the field in this county for
the purpose Of contracting for the
same. During the past week L. S.
Thomas, of Buffalo, who was here
several months ago, has been in the
field again and has made numerous
contracts.
Under the terms of the contracts
entered into between Mr.. Thomas and
the land owners the former secures
the right to the alkali beds at prices
varying from IS to so cents per ton.
The latter price is paid for beds lynG
close to the railroad points, while less
is given for the outlying beds. The

Thomas has had the service of Will
liam Rahe, who has driven over the
country with him and has made many
contracts himself.
