WHEN TO QUIT SCHOOL.

In a recent talk to nigh school grad
yates President Jordan of Stanford
university took advantage of the OPP
portunity to say that the world does
not owe any one a living and that the
state does not owe every one an ad'
vanced education. Indeed he held that
the higher education was for those
who felt that they had a call to it. Not
every graduate from the eighth grade
should enter the high school nor
should all who emerge from the high
school continue their studies further.
Many would be benefited and be
stronger members of the community
if they quit books at one or the other
Of these stopping points and entered
upon their life work.
This is a stand somewhat Antagonist
tic to the prevailing notion about ed
ucation, but it contains a germ of
work as hard in the school as ne would
out of it in the pursuit Of a gainful
calling that person is making a mis-
take to use up his youth in dilletante
fiirtations with education. The world
perhaps holds some remarkable re-
wards for Sucn boys and girls, provid-
ed they have trend toward some GER
tain occupation. But even if such per-
sons have no genius they have in the
world the almost certain expectation
of promotion by slow degrees as the
reward of fidelity. To SUCH youth
spent in schools is youth partially
wasted If they emrege from the
schools imperfectly educated through
lack of interest and applicatino they
have lost some of the time in which
they might have made themselves
masters of calling
The spirit of the American institu-
lions is that every boy and girl should
have a foundation of learning sufficient
to at least carry them without humili-
alton through any of the usual person
al and business associations. But it
does not necessarily mean that every
and all persons shall be pushed to the
limit of the school system.

Does this boy know the nature OF
an oath?" asked the judge. HE not
only knows it's nature replied the
lawyer, but he can give you its gene
sis and its exodus, can divide it into
its component parts, add it, subtract
it, and make it play tune. His father
is a personal tax assessor"
Let him be sworn said the judge
in a deep, resonant voice.

SEEING HEAVEN FROM NEW
YORK.

New York has recently been greatly
interested in the alleged visit to heaven
of a young woman, who was pulled
back as it were by a DR.. Quackenbos,
who stood over her and shouted,
adele, where are you going? Come
back" She returned and has been
trying to describe heaven since so that
New York would get some idea of the
place. Her description is somewhat
Heaven as she saw it was a dreary
waste place with shapeless trees and
a building which was at first form
less, but later turned out to have the
usual dimensions. New York was dis
appointed to learn that it was not a
skyscraper, but became reconciled
again when it was informed that this
building was occupied by a court of
six judges presided over by a seventh.
This is a familiar scene in New York.
Nearly everywhere one goes there is
some kind of court in session.
The story told by this young woman
raises at least a suspicion as to
whether she was really dead. 1t is
probable that she was only in a de-
lirium and that she never really left
New York. This opinion is in part

Common Sense From Cation.
A. M. Cation made a common-sense
practical talk on Business Profit and
Municipality Profit and the Necessity
Of Their Harmony He said that the
text was so long and the time so short
he wished the text were a little longer
and the time a little shorter so that
he might be excused altogether and
give way to other speakers, but his
hearers were glad that he had a little
time left. for he filled it we'll with a
talk on the necessity of building homes
as the foundation of growth, prosper
ity and good citizenship in any COM

superior in this city and no doubt he

cided to make his home in Walla Wal

Walla Walla's superintendent OF
schools, Professor o. S. Jones'
Professor ]. A. Hendrick, principal
of Pearsons academy, talked on Civic
Patriotism" The professor is as
smooth and affable as any politician
and as speaker he gets down where
people live and wins their hearts. He
treated good citizenship along the lines
Of agitation, enthusiasm, conscience
and courage. Speaking of the folly OF
injecting politics into municipal af-
fairs he told of the origin Of political
parties. He said that one Arab hired
a mule of another and started across
a desert. In midday he halted, dis
mounted and lay down in the shadow
of the mule. The muleteer remon-
strated with him, saying that the mule
had been hired and not the shadow.
The muleteer demanded more pay and
the traveller refused to give it. The
case was taken through the courts OF
Arabia and was at last decided in an
uncertain way. AS result of the
controversy the people of Arabia were
divided into two parties, the Shads
and the Asses, partisans respectively
of the traveller or Of the muleteer
Present party divisions are often
based upon just as trivial grounds and
people who inject politics into munich
by referring to the lateness of the hour

him of the negro and the Irishman
who had fight. First the negro
whipped the Irishman so badly that he
could not even cry enough. Next day
the Irishman got advantage of the
negro, got him down and beat him un-
mercifully. "Sufficient!" cried the
negro. ''Bejabers!' exclaimed the

all the ssity of making WalIa
Walla "a better city as well as a big

higher ideals and of the folly of towns

gain the whole world at the cost OF
their own souls He demonstrated
clearly that even in the material adj
xancement of a community the pro-
fessional expert is misrepresentation

health, educating the boys and girls
for good citizenship and in a thousand
other ways. He spoke in the highest

TITLE TO RANGE LAND.
Fulton Introduces Bill to Give Com

A special from Washington says:
Senator Fulton has introduced a bill
providing that persons who have
heretofore purchased land on the
Umatilla Indian reservation and shall
hereafter make full payment for the
same, shall receive title from the gov
ernment upon showing that the lands
are chiefly valuable for grazing and
not suceptible of cultivation.
Senator Ankeny today reported a
bill to the senate providing that farm
units on government irrigation pro-
jects may be fixed anywhere between

made 10 acres the minimum. Desert
lands entrymen whose lands were in
cluded in the government withdraw
ais, must Telinquish all but 100 acres
IL their holding is made part of a

drawal is revoked, they are given
credit on their desert entry for the

ber of engineers of the city who at

to consult with the committee as to
the best plan for Boise to adopt
According to the assessment rolls
of last year the city, has, approx
mately property of an assessed value
of $4,000, 900, which since that time
has largely increased because of many
new buildings completed with tho last
year. The city's bonded indebtedness
is about $245, 900, which leaves some
thing over $3.50, 900, for which the city
could be bonded before reaching the
limit.
The engineers present generally
thought that gravity water system
was a feasible one. Different kinds
were discussed and 1t was decided to
at once commence investigating and

ton, maintaining and conducting both

ing system. %'

mo CURE. NO PAY"
How Tallman Il Co. Sell Hyomci, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.


Talman & co. have an unusual o.
fer to make to our readers, one that
will be of the greatest value to many,
For some years Tallman q Co. have
been watching the results from lhe
use of Hyomei, treatment for ca
tarrh that cures by breathing medi-
Gated air. absolutely without any
stomach dosing. The results have
been so universally successful that
they feel justified in making public
offer to treat the worst case of ca
tnrrh in Pendeton with the under
standing that II Hyomei does not cure
the treatment will cost absolutely
nothing.
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex-
perienced almost immediate relief
from the use of Hyomei. while the
continued treatment for a. short time,
has resulted in complete and last
ing cure
The regular Hyomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists of n neat
pocket inhaler that can be carried in
the purse or vest pocket, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. II
this is not enough for n cure, extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
80 cents.
Tallman & Co. positively guarantee
a cure, IL Hyomei is used in accord
ance with directions, or they will r.
fund the money.
