reason for Il. The idea OF put.
ting q cabinet officer in jail for a
little honest indiscretion OF this
sort suggested opera boune,
But the cabinet officers we're not
taking any chances and the re-
result was that the several de-
partments were run very close
to the line, and at the end Of this
gear, instead of having a general
deficiency of over $50, 200, 000,
there was but little over 81, 200
900. To be sure the whole Of the
general deficiency bill was larger
than that. Il carried over SILL
600, 1000, but these were items
that was genuine emergencies.
The Cuban expedition cost this
government over Sc, $4,000, and
the service pension bill cost
another million. Then there was
nearly 50, O00, 600 on account of
the postal service. But the ex-
penditures of the departments as
a rule were laid down with a re-
markably tight hand, and the
rTawney resolution is regarded
by many of the representatives
as one of the most valuable and
effective pieces of Legislation that
has been enacted for years.
There is a possibility that the
Santo Domingo treaty man go
through. Whatever may be
thought and said of this measure
from a Legislative point of view,
there is no denying that the in
tervention Of this country in the
affairs of the black republic was
most o~ppOrtune, and tnst it pre-
vented unpleasant foreign com
plications that were not dreamed
of by the outside world till the
possibility of them was past.
Now the treaty is a very harm
less and amiable document, and
there would be little reason for
the Senate offering any objection
to il except for the habit that au.
gust body has gotten into of shy
ing at treaties. However there
has been a favorable report made
on it by the Foreign Relations
Commute, and there is q chance
for it to come out Of the darkness
of the committee into the twi-
light of executive session and get

WHEN LINCOLN WAS HANDSOME

"As l was saying" 1 was up to
Bloomington that night. Nobody that
didn't hear that speech ever knows
what Abraham Lincoln could do.
Lots of 'em will tell you he was
homely," writes Ida NJ. Tarbell in the
American Magazine. Seems to me
sometimes that's about all some folks
around here has to tell about Abra-
ham Lincoln. Yes, 1 knowed him.
they say. He was the homeliest
man in Sangamon county Well,
now, don't you make no mistake
The folks that don't tell you nothin'
but that never knowed Mr.. Lincoln.
Mebbe they'd seen him; but they
never knowed him. He walnut home-
ly There's no denyin' he was long
and lean, and he didn't always stand
straight and he wasn't pertikeler
about his clothes, but that night up
to Bloomington in 10 minutes after
he struck that platform, tell you he
was the handsomest man l ever see."

INSANITY AND GENIUS.

Richard Wagner was crazy as the
proverbial bug. julius Caesar, Pet
rarch, Moliete, Handel and Flaubert
had epileptic fits. Hahomet had
convulsions. The great Richlleu in a
fit believed he was a horse. Annie
Lee, who formed the society OF
Shakers, had spasms. Cowper, Rous-
seap and Lamartine in fits of insanity
tried to kill themselves. The list of
suicides among men of genius reach
es to the hundreds. Mozart thought
they were trying to poison him. Vol
taire thought always that he was
dying.
Abraham Lincoln was a victim of
melancholia, which was serious on
one or two occasions. Chopin was
insane in later life. Cavous believed
everyone was his enemy. ]. S. Mill
was insane at 20 Balzac paraded in
a dressing gown holding a lighted
lamp. Baudelair colored his hair
green.
Olu sam JuuuSbH luuCutu every
post he passed in London. Napole-
on was afflicted with moral insanity.
Bulwer Lytton bit and insulted his
wife, although ,he professed to love
her Schopenhauer was often in a
trance while composing. Poe was a
crazy sot. Verlaine and Oscar Wilde
were even worse. Charles Lamb was
insane. Robert Schumann, the i'm
mortal composer, was a lunatic and
took his own life by drowning. Lenau,
one of the greatest of modern poets,
was insane half his life.
August Strindberg, the playwright
who "out-Ibsen's Ibsen," has been
insane several times and in ducid
hours has written wonderful ac-
counts of his sensations during at
tacks. The list is almost endless

A WOMAN'S LOVE.

One night as I drowsed by my dying
fire,
While / watched its Pickering flames
expire,
Bright Fancy plumed her etheral
wings,
And 1 seem alone with the Soul Of
Things
Alone, of the things of sense bereft,
Yet Life and Beauty and Love were
left.
Among the myriad pictures wrought
On my weary brain in the web OF
thought
Was one of a woman petite and fair
With a red, red rose in her nut
brown hair,
And my spirit swooned in its glad
surprise,
Neathe the radiant glance Of her glo-
rious eyes.
Eyes so gentle and good and true
That the pure, white soul seemed
shining through,
And in their light-Oh, can It be,
That a woman's heart was revealed
to me!
One blissful moment they gazed in
mine
With a look SO tender it seemed di-
vine
Now l know that all the years
can bring,
A woman's love is the greatest
thing"
wilbur Thomas.

HOLLAND INCREASES AREA.

A very interesting project will soon
be under way in Holland, the recla-
nation of 400 square miles of land
from the Zuyder-Zee. The plan has
been under consideration for nearly
go years, and back in 1S49 the engi-
neers declared 1t impossible.
1t is estimated that the total cost
will be a little more than $75,0OO,-
900, and that the lands to be reclaim
ed will yield to the government an
annual income Of at least $5,000,000
in rentals. Thirty three years is the
time estimated for the completion Of
the work
The undertaking will be done a
part at a time; the first portion is
covered by bill presented to parlia-
ment by the government a few years
ago, which Is intended to provide for
reclaiming 10000 acres in seven years
at a cost of 81 100000.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Mayest thou live in joy forever,
Nor from this true pleasure sever,
From thy heart arise no sigh,
And no tears bedlm thine eye.
Joys be many, cares be few,
Smooth the path thy feet pursue,
And heavens richest blessing shine
Ever on both thee and thine.
May thy path be fair with flowers
Bright as amaranthine bowers
Bloom and blossom bright and fair,
Laden with sweet fragrant air.
Be thy path with roses strewn,
And thy hours to care unknown,
Sorrow cloud thy pathway never,
be thine forever.

sun OF CHRISTMAS MORNING.

The following beautiful poem by
Frances Margaret Milne OF San Fran
cisco, is such an appropriate theme
for Christmas day that the East Ore
gonian takes pleasure in presenting
1: today that its readers may enjoy
what it has enjoved in the senrimen:
OF the little sermon in verse:
Upon the evil and the good.
Tie praying and the scorning
Still shines the pledge OF brotherhood,
The Sun of Christmas morning.
II tells the weary heart and sad
The old immortal story,
And gives to childhood's spirit glad
A sweeter, tenderer glory.
Pale Anguish, on her couch OF pain,
Smiles oft-its dawn beholding;
And haggard Want sees once again
The day of hope unfolding.
The wild revolt OF human wrong
Is stilled, beneath its blessing:
And loving hearts beat full and strong
For comfort and redressing.
Oh, Babe OF Hope! we dare not voice
Our sin and strife before Thee;
And If we grieve, ,or If rejoice,
In silence We adore Thee.
Peace, peace on earth; good will to
menl"
From out the heavenly spaces,
We hear the angels song again,
With veiled and stricken faces.
No more for US the glory CLEANS
That simple shepherds ravished;
Yet full and clear the morning beams,
And Gods good gifts are lavished
All, selfish hand and hardened heart,
The Fathers will defying,
Have robbed His children of their
part
Their singing turned to signing.
But never Love hath vainly wrought
Her purposes immortal,
Tho still through night Of travail
brought,
She wins the heavenly portal.
Peace, peace on earth!" it yet shall
be,
Whatever eyes behold it:
And man to man, as brothers, see
Good will alone enfold it.
Oh, far and high, the skies they glow
With glorious sign Of warning;
The promise and the hope We know
The Sun OF Christmas morning!

HOW THE RECALL WORKS.

The effectiveness of the recall has
been proved again.
The recall is a conspicuous feature
in the Los Angeles city charter. The
people wanted it put into the charter.
and it is there.
Last Monday a number of the best
citizens of Los Angeles got together
and, after talking it over, gave out
that they would start a petition to
recall Mayor Harper, if he persisted
in his efforts to make the board OF
public works and the building of the
great Owens river aqueduct parts of
a political machine.
Tuesday the mayor retracted. The
battle was won.
Although the recall charter amend
ment was adopted in the city cleo
ton here last week, the enemies of
good government may yet find a way
to defeat it, If the question of the
elections legality, it having been
held during the legal holidays, is not
determined in court before the char
ter amendments go to the legislature
for ratification.-Santa Barbara In

TINTS IN AUTUMN LEAVES.

The common idea regarding aut-
umn coloring is that frost causes the
brilliant color of the leaves. This
popular fallacy is without any foun-
dalton, in fact; frost has absolutely
nothing to do with tinting of the
leaves except that it hastens their
tall Autumn coloring is due to oxi-
dation, which is caused by the action
of light and heat. somewhat similar
TO the rust on iron. With leaves II is
due to the fact that in fulfilling their
mission they become choked by their
own excretions, and the acids thus
formed are acted on by the oxygen.
In extremely moist atmospheres
the colors are not usually very bright.
as in England, for example. And in
very dry climates the leaves dry up
suddenly, and their skin, which is very
thick to prevent the escape of moist
ure, is not sufficiently transparent to
allow of the color being seen beneath.
In the regions where the autumn fol-
iage is most vivid we find that an
average season produces the finest
colors. Neither a very dry nor very
wet summer and early autumn will
result in much brilliancy.
The extraordinary range of colors
in trees of a single species is very
noticeable, particularly so with the
sugar naples; and 1t is remarkable
that an individual tree will continue
the same color year after year; not
only that but the same branch will
show the first tinge Of color year
after year.-Scientific American.

AT FOURSCORE.

His body, warped and brown and
thin,

Played till it bears the last trace
OF the dead players hand and face
Played to old airs of love and pain
Till it has broken with the strain.
But even yet. when some one brings
A master touch, the poor worn strings
Wake, from his heart of bygone.

A music that>is blind with tears.

CHRISTMAS ORANGES
FROM TREE TO MARKET

Few Of those who see an orange
in their stocking Christmas morning
realize how 1t got there, Beginning
late in November, carload after car
load of this fruit is rushed across the
continent at passenger train speed
in cars so carefully constructed thai
the temperature varies hardly tive
or three degrees in 10 days.
There is as much difference be-
tween the handling of carload OF
oranges and a carload Of lumber as
! there is between a New York-Chica-
go lS-hour train and a branch line To-
cal.
Besides buying this year $500 OF
the latest and most expensive re-
frigerator cars for its California fruit
traffic, the Southern Pacific has
taken up the problem of cooling the
fruit before it is packed In the cars.
The company is working on the lines
shown to be the most successful by
the experiments of the department Of
agriculture, which loaded fruit just
as it came from the grower, then af-
ter careful selection and brushing,
and lastly after it had been pre-cool.
ed before 1t was put in the cars.
All this fruit was sent across the
continent in refrigerator cars, un-
der careful observation as to the tenn
perature along the route and the
condition of the fruit on its arrival.
1t was found that the preceded fruit
was far in advance of any other.
The Southern Pacific has already
begun the building of preceding
plants, as we'll as ice-making plants
to supply the cars. When pre-cool-
ing comes to be the general rule. 1t
viii mean not only the saving of a
large amount Of fruit that now be-
comes spoiled, but also that the
truit can remain on the trees longer
and be in finer condition when It
reaches the consumer. 1t is expected
that preceding will add from 10 to
20 per cent to the value of Calfor-
nits citrus fruit production. which.
IN the season just closed, brought
SS4,OOO,OOO, and made the total fruit
crop of the state worth twice as
much as her gold production.

A KINGS POCKETS.

Like every man who values the
look Of his clothes, King Edward car
ries very little in his pockets besides
a handkerchief In his waistcoat
pocket he carries a gold pencil case,
cigar cutter, little pass key, a
gold watch, carefully regulated by
Greenwich time, and half a dozen
sovereigns. In his coat pocket he
carries a tiny notebook and in the
winter he puts his gloves In the
pocket Of his top coat. The king
never carries a cigar case except a
gold case which holds one cigar, but
he always has a small box Of lozen-
ges. Unlike his nephew, the kaiser,
he never carries fountain pen in
his pocket.-Kansas City Journal.

LAZINESS IN PANAMA.

One of the contractors in Panama
was much annoyed by the exceeding
laziness Of the so native workmen
under him. He resolved to try to
make them ashamed of their indo-
lence, so one day he lined them up
and said: Now, I've got nice easy
job for the LATEST man in this COM
pany. Will the LATEST man please
step forward?" Fifty-nine Of them
stepped forward. The contractor
turned to the other, who stood still,
looking almost too indolent to stand,
and said: why didn't you come
forward with the others?" And the
answer came in weary voice: I'm
too laZy."-Judge's Library.

INDEPENDENCE is BEST.

The Oregonian has at last decided
to follow the example of most of the
country papers of the state and be-
come politically Independent. That
daily has doubtless discovered after
half century of republicanism that
in the end aggressive politics does
not pay, and that editing a newspa-
per. a thankless job at best, is a posi-
tion that devoted to party can only
bring loss of friendship and of busi-
ness. An editor may be allowed to
think and vote as he please, but there
is no need for him, except at crucial
moments, to invite a consolidated

PAJAMAS IN THE WEST.

A Philadelphia man who has been
travelling in the west says that paja-
mas are not popular articles of wear
ing apparel out there and cites an in
cident to prove his statement. In a
medium sized town he sent a pair of
rather gay colored pajamas (his
wife's choice) to a laundry. When
they came back they were starched
so stiff they could stand alone and
each trouser leg was carefully press
ed into the most approved crease,
attached to the coat was pinned a
small slip of paper bearing the
words: ITO one lawn tennis suit, so
