fty of Action.
A fash Of light is not sluggish, sound
travels rapidly, bullet is no messen-
ger boy, and an automobile which
shoots mile in twenty eight seconds
Is moving along certainly. When II
comes to getting over the ground In a
real hurry, however. to devouring dis
tance In dead earnest, the dreamer
marches proudly at the head Of the pro-
cession. He makes the very latest thing
in the line Of $50 horsepower racing
cars look like hay carts In a mud bank.
A man sits In his chair after dinner
and doZes. He awakes with start
and discovers, to his surprise, that he
lost consciousness for exactly three
minutes by the clock. Yet in those
three minutes he jOurneyed from New
York to Port Said, transferred himself
to st. Petersburg, loitered In Paris and
London and sailed up the Nile. What is
Of greater Importance In this connec-
ton, he journeyed leisurely, almost ir-
dolently. He stopped at various points
Of interest" and examined them thor
oughly, he met with annoying and
amusing experiences on steamships and
trains, he talked with acquaintances
whom he encountered In foreign lands,
and he told some Of them precisely
what he thought Of them. There was
genuine pleasure in that. A dreamer
can put thousands and thousands Of
miles behind him In the short space Of
three minutes and lazily enjoy himself
IN his wanderlngs. BY comparison the
chauffeur, with his life in his hands, Is
a slow coach, and he must attend
strictly to business. He can engage IN
no conversation or sightseeing.
The human mind Is a wonderful We
hicle. Some people in spectacles have

what 1t is and what II can do. But they
do not know, and they never will know.

MRS. DUNIWAY'S SARCASM.
Veteran Suffragist Answers Wallace
McCamaut Objects.

The following sarcastic and logical
letter written by Mrs. Abigail Scott
Duniway of Portland. to the Oregon
Daily Journal, in answer to criticisms
on equal suffrage by Wallace Mccain
ant, the well known Portland poll
tician, is typical of Mrs. Duniway,
who has spent vigorous life fighting
for women:
Portland. March 9.-(To the Edi-
tor OF hte Journal )-The splendid
courage displayed by my friend, Wal
lace McCamant, In signing his name
to second letter to the Journal, is
only equaled by the alarm he evinces
lest the women OF oregon shall be
transferred at the coming election into
men-there is actual danger ahead.
Mr.. McCamant has not only seen 1t
with prophetic vision, but has sound
ed the alarm.
Look at Wyoming: There hasn't
been a woman within her borders
since 1869; no man has had a button
on his shirt or baby in his house for
35 years. Look at Colorado: Not a
woman in the state; no man in that
woman-forsaken land has had darn
In the heel or toe of his sock for 13
awful years. Look at Idaho: Not n
woman to be seen. Look at Utah:
Polygamy is doomed.

PROGRESS MADE IN so YEARS.
MFR. McAIlister, of the Pendlcton Drug
Company. Says One Of the Most
Noted Examples Is In Medicine.

"While electricity has supplanted
the old fashioned tallow candle for
lighting purposes, almost turning
night into day: while 1t has opened
up our great country by q network Of
electric railways, while all kinds Of
machinery have been invented to do
the work of hosts of people, we have
lust as noted an example In the field
of medicine" said Mr.. McAllister.
FIFTY years ago every one knew
og the latent medicinal properties
contained in cod liver oil; physicians
everywhere prescribed 1t, but thous-
ands could not take It on account Of
tho oil and grease which enveloped
the curative. strengthening proper
ties It contained, and in many cases
where they could take 1t 1t would
unset the stomach so 1t could do no
good.
Now all this is changed" continu-
ed Mr.. McAllister. "Science has shown
us a way to separate the curative me-
dicinal elements which exist in the
Gods liver from the oil or useless part
and given us Vinol. It contains every
one of these medicinal elements, ac-
tually taken from fresh Gods livers,
but without a drop of oil or grease to
nauseate and upset the stomach and
retard its work. Vinol contains no

medicine equal to Vinol to give
strength and renewed vitality to the
aged, build up the rundown, tired
and debilitated, make the weak
strong. cure chronic coughs, colds and
build up the convalescent.

Weeks Work.

Rockville, Centre, l.. l., April IL
Some months ago Miss Esther Mar
win took a course of training as a
nurse and when she had passed her
examinations, she was asked to look
after Mr.. and Mrs Benjamin Rhodes
of Hampstead, whom she had known
from childhood. Both were over 10
years old and very sick and feeble
She nursed them night and day, and
seldom left their house.
She expected only a small reim-
bursement. but was dumbfounded
when by the terms of their WILL
which was recently filed for probate,
she received bonds and property
worth nearly $4,000. Since then all
sorts of propositions of means for
investing her fortune have been made
to her, from Stalking mining
scheme to promoting company for
the manufacture of balloons. She
has also received scores of letters con-
tanning proposals of marriage.

Says the Madras Pioneer:
Deputy Tax Assessor Lafollette has
been in Madras during the week, as
sessing the property of this neighbor-
hood for the 1906 taxes. Mr.. Lafol-
lette is authority for the statement
that 1t will be the policy of the coun-
ty tax assessor this year, to assess the
property at higher valuation than
1t was assessed last year. One in
stance of this is in the assessment of
cultivated wheat lands, which last
year were assessed at 81 an acre,
but will be assessed at Sc an acre
for 1906.
Mr.. Lafollette says that there is
considerable complaint in this sec
ton over the assessment of lands at
practically so per cent increase over
their last assessment, but he thinks
the objection will cease when It is
found that the tax levy is lowered
correspondingly, and that taves have
not been increased.
