BOTH USE SAME TEETH.

When Mrs. August Kramer, resi-
dent near the town of Fort Atkinson,
Wis, and a thrifty little German wo-
man of 60 years, is married soon, she
will smile through her first hus-
bands set of false teeth, he having
died two years ago.
Twenty years ago DIR. A. P. Burrus,
of GAINESVILLE, made a full set of false
teeth for Mr.. Kramer, and spared no
expense in the way of gold Filings to
make them possess the appearance of
the original. For IS years this set
gave the best of service, and would
have lasted so years had not the hus-
band PASSED away two years ago.
The day the body was placed in
the casket Mrs. Kramer asked that
the plates be removed, as she saw no
reason why they should, be wasted.
for she would soon be obliged to
make the purchase of just such set,
Her request was compiled with.
This week the climax was reached
when Mrs. Kramer came to James
vile and called upon DIR. Burrus with
request that her dead husbands
teeth he made over to fit her.
After the work was finished Mrs.
Kramer, with a smile that enlighten-
ed her entire face, said: Il do hope,
doctor, that l will not look over 35
for the truth of this matter is l am
soon to wed another"

LET US HELP EACH OTHER.

Cities and communities like men,
must lean at times upon their friends.
Let the Commercial association of
Pendleton and the business men of
the city have an understanding with
La Grande, Pocatello, Salt Lake
every city along the Hartman lines,
to direct homeseekers whom they cam
not locate, to this city. If necessary,
let us place descriptive literature at
these nearby places.
Hundreds of men with means visit
these places because of some peculiar
attraction and find nothing that suits
them. Let these men be directed to
Pendleton and Umatilla county. And
let Umatilla county and Pendleton OBJ
serve the same commercial freema-
sonry and send their unsuited visitor
to some other place along the line,
where he can be suited.
In this way each can receive the
overflow, the surplus, the dissatis-
fled homeseeker from other cities.
Umatilla county can offer large wheat
farms, which perhaps no other city
along the line can offer in such guam
titles Boise has highly cultivated ir-
rigated lands and mining and stock
districts adjacent and so at times an
exchange of courtesies can be made
| by sending on the homeseeker who is
not suited with what is offered.
In this way neighborly under
standing can be reached and a neigh
borly feeling cultivated to the mutua
advantage of all concerned. And i
will pay. That. of course, is the chic
thing in these bustling times.

THE WAY TO sHADOWTOWN.

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown,
1t sails away at the end of the day.
Just as the darkness closes down.
Rest, little hand, on my shoulder-so;
A sleepy kiss is the only fare,
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and l in the rocking chair.
See, where the firelogs glow and
spark,
Glitter the lights of Shadowland,
The raining drops on the window
bark,
Are ripples tapping upon its
strand.
There where a mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering, cool
and STILL
Blossoms are wavering DER its brim-
Those over there on the window
sill.
Rock slow, more slow, in the dusky
light,
Silently lower the anchor down,
Dear little passenger, say "Good
night"
We've reached the harbor OF
Shadowtown.

THE RAN ON THE SICK MAN.

The only people who care to bother
with a sick stranger are those who Will
profit by it. and Texas does not even
want the sick mans money. She has
placed a ban on consumptives' py
state law. and no longer can the invig-
Grating air of her great plains invite
the "'lunger" from the east.
It seems harsh to think that people
suffering from lack of pure, healing
atmosphere. cannot go where they
choose and breathe to their hearts
content.
But out of respect for we'll people
states are placing this ban on the SICK
and soon the question of tuberculosis
will resolve itself into national issue
10 he handled by the United States
government.
california has welcomed the con-
s,r,ntive in the past but there was
nurely commercial motive at the bot
tom of this welcome. The people Oh
.bot state will soon refuse to allow
conservatives to enter the state. so
many are there now that the air is
charged with germs.
Other states will soon follow the
lead of Texas out of sheer self-protec-
ton and soon there will be no outlet
for the millions of tuberculosis pa
tients being turned out from the
crowded tenements. mills, factories
offices and dark alleys of the great
eastern cities.
Many of these people cannot &c
where climate invites them. Man!
of them are forced to die in theil
tracks. as 1t were, in their narrow en-
yironment. Others who can go to al
inviting climate are finding the doors
closed against them, and so must lool
to other remedies than climate.
tuberculosis is spreading at sucf
an alarming rate that soon the ehtlr'
nation will be inoculated If some de
cisive measures are not taken, anC
sooner or later the government VII
be forced to set aside territory some
where, either at home or in one o
the near by island groups as ma
tional sanitarium for consumptive pa
tients.
However that will not check tn
spread. The government will be fore
ed to strike down unhealthful tene
ments, unsanitary mills, factories ant
homes, and then stop the rearing o
families by consumptives. If the gov
ernment must cure the disease 1t ha
a right to go to the fountain head o
the evil to stop 1t.

THE UNDER DOG.

While Joaquin Miller was In the
city few weeks ago he visited the
Indian collection owned by Major Lee
Moorhouse, and while there one even
ing spied the tanned hide of an i'm
mense New Mexico rattlesnake hang
ing on the wall among the collection
of Indian curios.
The poet caressed the snake skin
tenderly and said: Poor old fellow,
poor old boy! The world was against
him. He was the under dog. Imag-
inc being condemned to crawl on your
belly for time everlasting! I can see
him taking his sentence now and can
almost feel the sting Of his humilia-
tion.
"I am with the under dog every
time, whether It be man, beast or
snake. Where I find the world con-
tinually kicking at fellow my SYM
pathies go out to that fellow and
fefriend hin, 7 am with the under
dog"

THE LOST VOICE.

Seated one day on jury,
1 was weary and out of sorts,
And my thoughts We're wandering idly
Away from crimes and courts.
l know not what they were pleading,
Or who was cross questioned then /;
But l heard one witness talking
With the voice of an honest man.
1t flooded the dingy court room,
As If the millennium dawned,
And it struck my astonished senses
With the touch of a fairy wand.
It linked all perplexed opinions
Into one verdict true;
And stopped with a sudden silence
AS soon as the speech was through
/ have sought, but / seek it vainly,
That honest voice, so queer,
That came from the lips of the wit
ness
And entered my awestruck ear.
II may be, sometime or other,
I shall hear that voice again;
Or it may be that I was dreaming
When l heard that honest man.

VARIATIONS OF CARDS.

There are an enormous number Of
possible variations of cards in card
games. Every man when he takes up
his cards at whist holds one out of
635 ,013, 900 possible hands.
The total number of variations pos
sible among all players is so great as
almost to exceed belief. 1t has been
calculated that If one million men
were to be engaged in dealing cards
at the rate Of one deal every minute,
day and night for one hundred mil
lion years, they would have exhausted
only a hundred-thousandth part OF
the variations of the cards.

THE COSTLIEST PICTURE.

The costliest picture in the world
is one painted by Raphael in 1906
and now owned by the Duke of Marl-
borough. 1t was known as the Blen-
helm Madonna, from the name of
the dukes palace.
The picture is eight feet high, and
represents the Madonna and Child
on a throne, with the figures of Saint
John the Baptist and Saint Nicholas
of Bari on the left and right respect
lively. 1t owes ite enormous valuation,
more than three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, to the fact that 1t
is one of the best preserved speci-
mems of Raphaers work in existence.

LONG TRIP FOR ROYAL DENTIST.

A journey Of 340O miles, going and
coming, to treat a monarch's teeth
is an episode in the history OF DR.. M.
l.. Smith. of Indianapolis. DR.. Smith
was graduated from the Indiana Dem
tai college 10 years ago and then
went to Calcutta, India, to practice
with his brother, who had preceded
him. In telling his experience, DR..
Smith today said:
"a little more than year ago l
was called to attend the Ameer OF
Afghanistan. He sent an agent to
me in Calcutta to arrange for my COM
ing to his capital of Kabul. The trip
was made from Calcutta to the KY
ber Pass, 1900 miles by rail, and
thence 200 miles through the noun
tains on horseback. The East Indian
government furnished me an escort
of 10 soldiers. The pass was picket
ed its entire length by soldiers and at
no time was / out of sight of picket
"On arriving at Kabul I was re-
ceived by the son of the sovereign,
the heir apparent, the ameer being
absent on a visit to one of his prov
inces.
"Ten days later the ameer came to
Kabul with his retinue, 5000 men, and
it was made known to me that owing
to the month of the Mahommedan
calendar, 80 days of fasting, nothing
could be done to the ameer's teeth
until the month had passed.
"Then l was sent for and was es-
corted to the soverelgn's palace in
much pomp. The ameer, as were all
the members OF his court, was dress
ed as an English gentleman"

her own interests without consulting
the convenience of any other power"
If the attitude OF Japan leads the
to believe that the mass
ing of large squadron in the Paci-
fic is necessary, let us mass 1t there
hurriedly, quietly, without bluster or
flourish-but get 1t there.
Let Japan look on and think what
ever she may. This is our part of
the controversy.
In the first place there is no cause
for war or even cross word with
Japan. The substantial, reliable peo-
pie of Japan are taking no part in the
San Francisco embroglio. 1t is the
tough element, the renegade, the agi-
tating element always found in large
cities. in Japan as well as the United
States which is agitating for war.
This class always finds a mouth
piece in some form and in this case
the sensational papers of Japan have
taken up the cry.
II the little furry develops into a
war cloud, Oregon will be found do
ing her duty and guarding the in
terests of the government with every
means available.
But 1t is really ludicrous to think
of going to war with Japan over the
street fights of the japanese and
American toughs. A dozen San Fran
cisco policemen should be able to set
tie the entire difficulty and perhaps
will settle II yet.

UNDER THE LIME LIGHT.

There was never time in the his
tory of human government when it
was possible to turn the lime light on
the private characters of public men
as now.
Every man who seeks office now,
whether it be for dog catcher or pres
ident must run the gauntlet of the
press.
The muck rakers stand along the
pathway, light in hand, ready to
throw the penetrating glare upon any
man who desires to stand for office.
And no one but a dishonest or cor
rupt man need fear or complain. A
man with a clean record, clear con-
science and unstained reputation can
have nothing to fear.
Golfers Weekly is accused of being
severe on Fairbanks, Fulton and
other senator's II there is anything
hidden or crooked in the career or
public acts of these men, let the pub
lie have 1t. They seek to be public
servants. The people have right to
know everything. They should be
presented with facts and will Judge
for themselves. SO let the light shine
No honest man will finch.

When a man is suspected of having
committed a crime, he is obliged to
chew dry rice in the presence of the
court.
So intense is the influence of fear
on the glands of the mouth and
throat that if the person is guilty
there is no flow of saliva and masti-
cation is impossible. Such culprits
usually confess. On the other hand,
If the person is innocent, there is no
fear, and the salivary glands secrete
enough saliva to soften the rice.

That property is not losing It's value
in Pendleton is shown by the pur-
chase of lot 50x9O for an addition
to the city hall site last night. This
lot cost the city $500 while the corner
lot adjoining It and the same size,
cost but $4,000 a year ago. This
should convince the few croakers that
property is not declining here as they
have reported as a result of the clos
ing of gambling and the departure Of
o. handful of tinhorns.
