Here we found an enormous
tent formed of the leaves of
a native tree which had been
built by a company of Portu-
guese for circus performances.
This we procured, but as it
required a week to make it
available for Our use, we
went meanwhile to Bangalur,
two hundred and sixteen
miles inland, in the Province
of Mysore, and performed for
three days. Returning to
Madras, we gave our per-
fornances to large audiences
of Europeans and wealthy
natives. On the fourteenth,
we received a visit from His
Royal Highness, the Maha-
raja of Vizianagram, and
suite, he having previously
signihed his intention of call

mistakable Irish brogue if she could not solve
the riddle. We accustomed to the effects of

from American knowledge of the antagonsm

HAVE YOU GOT THE HABIT?

How many time have you poked
your nose into your empty postoffice
box this week?
Although everybody in PendIeton
knows that there are no mail trains
running yet, the postoffioe is visited
regularly by the business man, the
hopeful lover, the letter-writing
woman and the bill collector
1t is strange to think how firmly a
habit becomes fixed in community.
After ALL communities are like indi-
viduals They have all the ecceutrici-
ties, peculiarities, Weaknesses and
strength of the Individual.
You have seen a sweet old lady
turning the house topsy-turvy looking
for her glasses. with the lost article
hanging innocently upon her fore
head. unmindful of the havoc it i:
causing.
This is a miniature picture of th'
entire community going a dozeT
times day to look into its empt!

BACKWARD, TURN BACKwARD.'

Backward, turn backward. oh
Time, in your flight
This morning a party of people
started from Pendleton over the Blue
mountains to La Grande by stage
coach. To some of these people this
was a frightful experience. Some
even doubted their ability to make the
trip.
But 1t is only quarter of a CEN
tury since there was no other way
for the passenger to make the trip
The pioneers knew no other mode of
travel. The mothers of the present
generation crossed this way. and
many of them even walked and help
ed push their heavy laden wagon over
the mountains, watching murderous
Indians skulk in the timber at the
same time.
And yet the modern man wonders
if he can live to ride in a coach so
miles in June weather with civiliza-
tion all about him!
If your telephone is out of order
this week, remember that the tele-
phone is but 20 years old in the in
land empire. If your electric light
fails you. remember that even coal
oil was a luxury in Pendleton not
many years ago. And when you
worry if a mail train does not arrive
on time this week remember that but
a few years ago, mail was a very un-
certain thing in Pendleton. If a
bridge washed out on the wagon
road or if the mud holes We're un-
usually deep, the stage was delayed
even worse than present-day trains.
And people who are kicking about
bad roads today have climbed over
the hills of Umatila county many a
time. before there was road built in
the county. And many of them swan
streams before county bridges were
known.
Strange how luxuries change hu-
man nature. II would 90 humanity
good to 90 back to the pioneer days
for a year. Modern conveniences
would be more keenly appreciated
after such an experience.

the following interesting account Of
Mayor Schmit2. of San Francisco:
When Mayor Eugene f. Schmitz, of

power in the state senate, and as a
co-worker with Walter Pierce, who

At the close of the present cam
