Charity.

1t is but a few hours since the
Christmas bells rang out their message
of Peace on Earth, Good Will TO all
Mankind" Hardly the time, one
would think, to criticise good deeds,
for if there is one time, more than any
other, TO exercise Astounding charity, it
should be in the glad Christmas Time.
The time of peace is not the time TO
agitate war on charity. Of a truth,
there is a proper time to wage war on
good deeds, charity We can call it
rightful or misplaced. it is charity, for
charity goes not hand in hand with
close investigation. Charity is free
will offering from the depths of low
ing heart. Charity What is Charity
Charity is love, Love for God and
love for your fellow man.
1t were better to know what charity
is. before We criTicise il too freely
Ii we but closely study the 18th
chapter of 1st Corinthians. we might
learn much of its true spirit Gods
holy word in that chapter tells US,
Charity suffereth long and is kind.
charity envieth not. and again it bear
eth all things, believeth all things,

MISSING VERSE is FOUND
Cincinnati Man Has a Literary Treas

Anderson My joe"

Local lovers of the works of the
poet Burns will be much interested in
knowing that the missing third verse
to John Anderson, My Joe" is now
in the possession of w. l.. McElroy,
of Cincinnati. The verse was the prop
umbus.
The poem with the third verse at
tached reads as follows:
John Anderson, my Jo John,
When we were first acquent,
Your locks We're like the raven,
Your bonie brow was brent:
But now your brow is beId, John,
Your locks are like the snow:
But blessings on your frosty paw,
John Anderson, my 10.
John Anderson, my 10, John, 1
We clamb the hill thegither;
And monte canty day, John,
We've had wi one anither;
Now we mauns totter down, John,
But hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my 10.
John Anderson, my 10, John,
We win no min that sleep;
The grave. SO cauld and still, John,
Our spirits Gamma keep.
But we will wake in heaven, John,
Where young again we'll grow,
And ever live in blissful luve,
John Anderson, my 10.

/ Then let every mother keep the
kitchen open TO her daughters and
/ have. a cooking school of whose di.
vine and mysterious arts she is the
priestess.
Procure for them the books they
need, to understand the scientific phas-
es of domestic science and be sure
you understand them yourself. Every
kitchen pantry should have a little
shelf for books, and il would be better
| for volume of Emerson, or Whit
tier, or some body else's to wander
there occasionally, than for the moth
er's mind to storm as il so often does,
because she has no time to sit down
and read in the proper place.
Help your daughters to collect a
cook book of their own and be sure
to have a department that shall pre-
serve your family recipes, the seed
cakes and pound cakes, the buildings
and preserves of your grandmother
days. Nothing can add more gra-
cious flavor to your Thanksgiving and
Christmas feasts.
Let the book be of leather, well
bound, written with good ink that will

Our children are highly favored in
having a Morrison and Reeves Lii
brary, and they should be taught to
use it from earliest childhood; use il
freely and wisely.
But sometimes one reads the titles
of the books worn to rags upon the
shelves, and counts the great array of
the best books left dusty and alone.
We realize that there is no enemy to
the best books, like the fairly good
books.
The mother, teacher and librarian
can do much to change this lack of
taste, by suggesting the book to read,
but as quickly as possible the child
should be taught and allowed to make
his own selections, unless very per-
verse in his tastes.
The use of indexes, catalogues and
reference books should be shown, and
this with all the teaching we have CIV
en- at home and at. school is all we
can do We can go no farther, but
must stand and bid our child Gods
speed in his search for the truth he
must find.
But 1 must close with a short men
ton of nature books.
They are the best, left until the last.

mission. 1t was the intention to place
a day and night crew on the work
Of constructing the concrete work but
the high water has stopped all work.
The men on the construction work
are all employed in saving what tenn
porary work it is possible to save. The
pipe line has been stuffed at the in
take with sacks to prevent the water
from entering the pipes, and it is be-
lieved they will suffer no damage.
Work on the plant on Mill creek, it
is feared, will be greatly handicapped
and Engineer Wilson is Of the Opin-
ion that the big plant of the North
western Gas & Electric company on
the Walla Walla river will be greatly
crippled as the storm extends to that
section.
At noon today the creek was rising
rapidly in the city and was within
three feet of the top of the bulkheai
1t is believed that no damage will re-
suit to property as a great portion of
the water is diverted into the Yellow
hawk. The water may do great dam
age, however, to the garden lands adj
jacent to the city.
Manager Robert Allen of the North
west Gas & Electric company was in
conversation with the foreman at the
power plant up the Walla Walla river
at l o'clock this afternoon and it was
stated the Walla Walla river had risen
only two feet. The foreman said the
rain was not falling much and there
was no danger of the plant having to
shut down for this reason.
Merchants do not fear their base
ments being flooded as the water is
still confined to the banks of Mill
creek and as long as the stream does
not overflow its banks no damage will
be done.

GANS-HERMANN REFEREE.

TONOPAH, New, Dec. 20.-The ref
ere question on the Cans Herman fight
scheduled to take place here New
Years day, is still unsettled. The
choice lies between George Siler of
Chicago, Jim Jeffries of Los Angeles
and Eddie Granney of San Francisco.
1t is understood here that Nate Lewis
is holding out for George Sier. and
that Cans, while expressing himself
as not particular is rather inclined to
favor a western man.
The sole trouble with Jeffries is over
the money question, and apparently
he is still holding out for big sum.
Herman naturally wants an expert
enced man in the ring, one who can
draw a fine point, and this Jeffrles did
not do in the Burns fight, it is SAID
by some. The Burns faction insists
that Jeffries should have given the
McCarey man the decision on his gen.
eral showing, and point to OBrien
condition after the battle as PROOF OIL
this. O'Brien's on the other hand, tnihh
Burns was lucky not to be dlsquah-
fled and that O'Brien should have been
given great credit for his cleverness
under depressing conditions.

BANISHED PRINCESS BEGS.
Daughter Of Leopold Pleads to Visit
Her Mothers Grave.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-Princess Louise of
Belgium, who has been living in France
since her dramatic flight from the
"sanatorium' in which she was i'm
prisOned, has for some time past been
making pathetic appeals to her father
King Leopold, to be allowed to visit
her native country.
She has just returned to Paris from
the south of France, and in an inter-
view had with her this afternoon, she
said, with evident emotion, that she
desired nothing on earth SO much as
to see her father once more.
Il have written again and again to
my father" she said. but no letter
can tell how keenly 1 feel my separa-
ton from my family. 1 am condemned
to live without seeing single one of
my relatives.
IF 1 could only see my father face
to face, and speak to him alone, all
the terrible misunderstanding that
have been created between us by in
terested parties might be removed.
Il have asked to be allowed to re-
turn to Belgium and go to my moth
er's grave, and although the king has
not yet seen fit to grant my request,
I still hope that he will do so before
long"

to haste by healthy appetites, we

LAND THIEVES LAST STAND.

The presidents and Secretary Hitch
cocks fight against land thieves in the
far west is making some of the strident
politicians of that region fiercely heat
ed against executive interference"
The history of this campaign for law
and order, when it is written, will
prove to be one of the most instruc-
tive exposures Of crooked politics the
country has ever known. Dating from
the time when Mr.. Hitchcock bounced
Nipple Mitchell from "practicing" be-
fore the department, and followed that
action up with an indictment against
the senator for violation of the stat
utes, down to the fight against the con-
trict attorney, it will be shown that
not only did the president not have
any aid from the senator's, but that he
had their undying resentment against
mis- proceedings. Mitchell went to his
grave a martyr to the presidents
outrageous behavior toward a sovereign
senator. Senator Fulton has earned the
plaudits of his constituents for his no
BILE stand against the confirmation of
Bristol, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal He mas been able to keep the
man whom the president selected to
enforce the laws out of a regular title
to his office for months. This pro-
ceeding, instead of bringing him the
contempt of his constituents appears
| to be looked upon in Oregon political
circles as a triumph Of effectiveness.
Fulton is receiving kilograms of con-
graulations on his noble fight and en-
cOuraging messages from the boys,
! who claim all to be in sympathy with
| his splendid efforts.
The political gang which acts as a
simply fighting for its life, and Senator
Fulton must be either a dull or a cor
! rupt man to associate himself with it,
If he is responsible and reasoning be-
ing, the assumption that he is profit
ing from the loot is tenable. If ne is
merely a fool, the assumption that he
is honestly obstructing the due process
| of law is tenable. But in either case
| his position as a member of the United
States senate is an anomaly which the
people of Oregon at their earliest op-
portunity should correct
