A MANS A MAN FOR A. THAT.

Is there a man for honest poverty
That hangs his head, and a that?
The coward slave, we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a that
For a that, and a that,
our tolls obscure and a that:
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The mans the gowd for a that,
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin gray, and a that?
Gle fools their silks, and knaves their
wine,
A mans man for a that
For a that, and a that,
Their tinsel show, and a that
The honest man, though e'er sac poor,
Is king o. men for a that
We see yon birkle. cad lord.
Wha struts, and stares, and a that,
Though hundreds worship at his word,
He's but coof for a that;
For a that, and a that
His riband, star. and a that
The man of independent mind,
lie LOOKS anu lduBnlS ut tHut.
A prince can max belted knight,
A marquis, duke, and a that,
But an honest mans aboon his
might
Guild faith, he mauna fa' that!
For a that, and a that,
Their dignities, and a that,
The pith O. sense and pride o. worth
Are higher ranks than a that.
Then let us pray that come 1t may
AS ccme II will for a that
That sense and worth, DER a the
earth.
May bear the gree, and a that
For a that, and a. that.
It's comm vet, for a that
That man to man, the world DER.
Shall brothers be for a that!

CANNOT UNDERSTAND 1T.

When 1 was 10 and you were S,
Two years between us stood,
We used to meet by Daddys gate
A stolen kiss was good.
When was 20-quite a boy,
You still We're my hearts queen.
But grown of kissing somewhat coy.
You see-you're quite 16!
When l was so bronzed and tall,
With sweethearts, too, in plenty,
met you at the Wilson's ball
You told me you were 90.
I'm 40 now, a little more
oh. Time, YOU ruthless bandit!
But you-you'rc only "a
l cannot understand It!

IN ANCIENT IRISH CAVES.

There has just been published by
the Royal Irish academy a bulky re-
port on the result of three years ex-
ploration work among the caves of
County Glare. No fewer than 10000
specimens of bones We're forwarded
in parcels to the Dublin museum for
Identification. Each of these parcels
was carefully labeled, bearing a num-
Der corresponding with a map of the
cave giving the exact position and
depth from the surface at which the
specimens were obtained.
The bulk of the material collected
consisted of bones of various ami
mails, including man., and these throw
an interesting light on the old-time
fauna of ireland. Among the more
important mammalian remains were
bones of the brown bear, wolf, arctic
fox, arctic lemming, Irish elk, red
deer. reindeer, OK and wild boar.
One rather surprising discovery is
that the bones of the wild cat. which
occurred in some numbers. belonged
not to the European. but 10 an Afri-
can species, known as the Caffer cat
(Felis ocreata).

GOOD BYE ELKS,

Good bye, Bill; so long, old fellow,
Wish you'd stay, Bill, on the square,
You're o. K.-no streak of yellow
In your makeup anywhere,
Bill, you have our invitation
To come back, so come along,
Wen all meet you at the station,
Bill, we're fer you, good and strong.
Never saw a bunch so jolly,
Ev'lyone "candy kid"
Sure cure for the melancholy,
Liked it?-I should say we did.
Good bye Bill; we feel like crying,
Wen be lonesome hereabout,
We're stuck on you, no denying,
Member, Bill, the latch strings out.

THE KOONTZ GIFT.

The announcement made in the
East Oregonian Saturday evening that
the respected pioneers of Echo, Mr.
and Mrs. j.. II. Koontz, had given a
residence property worth from $4,000
to $4,000 to Pendleton academy for a
girls dormitory, is a new kind of news
in Umatilla county.
This is the first landmark along
this splendid pathway of human eff
fort in this entire county. 1t is the
first monument of this kind reared by
wise and helpful generosity in the
county. Other gifts for similar pur-
poses have been made IN Oregon,
dozens of them, but none that will do
more good nor meet a more urgent
need than this gift from Mr.. and Mrs,
Koontz.
Pendleton is centrally located and
will become a school town second to
none in the inland empire. Aside
from her excellent system of public
schools. she has private schools that
fill a peculiar need in the community
Pendleton academy has been strug-
Cling along for years, without many
of the necessary appurtenances of an
academy, because of a lack of funds.
It had educated free, every child
which has appeared at its doors, say
ing that it could not afford to pay, and
therefore, instead of being an exclus-
i've private school, this academy has
opened its arms to all. and its lack Of
funds has been due largely to this
indiscriminate charity.
Seeing that its greatest need was a
home for girl students from dis
tance, who might desire to share in
the excellent training which 1t af-
fords, Mr.. and Mrs. Koontz have de-
cided that their gift could be bestowed
on no more worthy purpose and con-
sequently. after mature and careful
inquiry anu ltllDtIa aAlDhf gave llll1
elegant residence in North Pendleton
to be fitted up for a home for irl
students, where they will be under
the direct care Of matron and
teacher of domestic science and where
their surroundings will be elevated
safe and inspiring.
This noble gift places the academy
in position to say to parents of chill
dren nthe interior of Oregon that a
first-class home conducted in connec-
tion with the school, can now be Of
fered TO their daughters, and as a re-
suit Pendleton academy will take a
front place in the list of inland EN-.
pire schools.
The fruits Of this gift will blossom
as long as Oregon and her schools
stand. The young people who will &c

A GOOD INFERENCE.

A Baltimore school teacher was
telling one day OF how often the in
structor of the young idea" is aston
ished by the quickness of wit exhib-
tied by the pupil who is otherwise de-
ficient.
One day, says this teacher, she had
encountered such degree Of ignor-
ance and mental obruseness on the
part of one of her boys that she be-
came disheartened. So 1t was with
considerable sarcasm that she said to
the youngster:
"I wonder IL you could tell me
whether George Washington was a
soldier or a sailor"
The kid grinned. "He was a SOL
der. all right" was the reply.
How do you know" asked the
weary teacher.
Because I seen a picture of him
crossing the Delaware" explained the
boy. ANY sailor'd know enough not
to stand up in a boat."-Exchange.

FAMINE OF CHORUS GIRLS.

New York is suffering from a
chorus girl famine, says the Theatri-
cal Review. Q
This may sound improbable to the
uninitiated, but managers of musical
comedies which depend largely for
their popularity upon graceful and
lthe-limbed creatures in spangles and
tights woefully declare that the fam
inc has really reached Broadway and
they are reaching out to other cities
to recruit their supply
Only today the Shuberts, who pro-
duce more musical plays than any
other firm, advertised for 200. Chas.
B. Dillingham; has had an even more
strenuous time.
The reason? There are three, ac-

said, that Mr. Sage virtually was
prisoner for many years In the hands
OF Thomas Reilly, a man whom Mrs

to prevent him from talking with his
relatives on the subject OF his viii or
on any matter.
A lawyer representing prospective
contestants who live IN Troy, y. y, is
quoted as having claimed that when
Mr., Sage was not IN sound mental
condition" Mrs Sage persuaded him TO
revoke a previously drawn will under
which each of his next Of kin would
have received about $1,000. 600. and TO
make a new disposition of his estate
