HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider our best
friends those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee q real
friend, but watch 1t carefully awhile
and observe that 1t Is one of the
meanest Of all enemies, for It stabs
one while processing friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs Of
the body II its use Is persisted in.

vousness for four years, and the doc

Labouchere on women's Hats.

Last year the fashion of ladies' hats
was extravagant, and l thought that
the climax Of folly had been reached.
4 woman looked when out walking
or driving like the horse at a funeral.
Her hat was mass of ostrich feathers
that waved far above her. This year
this extravaganza has been outdone.
The hat itself is generally Of straw
and In shape is like a waste paper
basket reversed. But the straw is mere
ly used as foundation for a wondrous
fabric Of flowers, fruits or feathers.
When 1t is feathers, they are arranged
after the ideas of Choctaw Indians.
Some Of them are piled on high, 9TH
ers straggle down the back of the
wearers, and others seem to be put on
IN vaguely promiscuous fashion, for
the essential is to have a great many
Of them. When 1t is flowers they
look like a bed which a gardener
has sown with varietgated seeds, that
have been allowed to grow as they
list. The wearer either tilts this huge
structure on the side of her head or
at the back, and seen from behind
she looks as though she had no neck.
The prettiest girl almost ceases to be
pretty when arrayed in this headgear.
As for the plain ones-and they seem
to have the largest hats-they are
made doubly plain. A lady, fat, dow
dy and past her youth, in such a
hat, is one of the most ridiculous
sights that can well be conceived

vinced that the Lodore cataract was

Woman Elected Mayor.

Within recent times a woman has
been elected mayor of town and be-
came thereby famous. 1t was some
fifteen years ago that Mrs. Yates
passed a stormy twelve months in the
mayoral chair of Onehunga in New
Zealand, and her admirers claim for
her that never in the life of that town
were its sanitary arrangements so
perfect and its municipal debt so low
as during her term of Office. Today
In the village of Koeisona, In Austria
Hungary, the same experiment is be-
ing tried. A young woman, only
twenty-four years of age, has been
chosen mayor, and with her on the
municipal council are four other men,
bers of her sex.-New York World.

BISHOPS ARE TOO WELL PAID.
One Of Them Is Willing to Have His
Income Reduced.

The bishop of Norwich, who is this
year president of the Church Con-
gress, has declared that episcopal
palaces are too large and too expen-
sive to maintain, and that they
should be sold. when taking pos.
session of the bishops palace at Nor

than $4,000, and 1t cannot be kept
up for less than $4,000 a year. If a
smaller residence were provided, my
stipend might be reduced by $4,000
year"
The bishop of Norwich receives a
salary of s22,50O year, which he is
willing to have reduced by $7,5O0.
This self-denying attitude of the
bishop is one of the chief unofficial
topics among delegates to the Church
Congress.

The Country Better Off With

We have received this week a
marked copy of the United States

interests Of the tobacco business.
The object evidently was to call
our attention TO the action OF the

ton in the seizure of a consignment
of cigarettes in transit from the
tobacco trust to its patrons. The
editor severely criticised this action
as being unjust, premature, anarch.
is,ic and whole lot more "unpret.
ty" things. While we enjoy q
good smoke about as well as any
one, and do not believe il Injuries us
unless used TO excess, there are
millions who do use tobacco TO
excess and are not only injured
but lose their lives by the per
nicious Use OF the weed, and we
really believe Il would be better

physical and moral point OF view,
but also from monetary stand

STREET WORK HELD UP
The Governors Holiday Sea-
son Responsible.

One regretable feature about the
holiday season inaugurated by Gov
ernor Chamberlain is the delay OF
the work on our streets. So far
this year not a street has been i'm
proved. This was through no fault
of our councilmen, nor was it be.
cause no streets were ready for inn
provement. The death of City En-
gineer Goodrich made this office
vacant and owing to the peculiari-
ties of the present charter this posi-
ton could not be filled at once.
When Mr.. Edward was appointed
engineer il was hoped that street
work would be taken up and push
cd with all possible dispatch. Pc
tition after petition came rolling in,
and Mr. Edwards got into harness
at once. Council was prompt to
act, and resolutions were passed to
improve four or five streets as rap
idly as could legally be done. The
resolutions were duly published
and all indications pointed to a
speedy fulhllment Of the legal pro-
ceedings necessary before the work
could begin. Ordinances ordering
the improvements were ready to act
upon when the Governors legal
holiday proclamation went into ef-
feet. This put quietus upon fur
ther proceedings for the present at
least, and thus three or four valua-
ble weeks will be lost so far as
street work and other municipal
business is concerned. Since ordi-
nances will have to- be passed and
published, and proposals for stree,

LABOR GETS A LEMON
Wages Always the First to
Fall and Last to Rise.

A number of large manufacturing
plants in Portland have taken ad-
vantage Of the financial situation by
reducing the wages Of employees.
There is no justi6able cause for
taking this course, but 1t is fact
patent to all that as soon as any
thing comes up that offers SEM
blance of an excuse for doing so
these grasping corporations begin
to whittle down wages. In the
present instance, so far as we have
been able to learn, there is no ex-
cuse whatever, unless it is because
labor is now easier to secure than
was the case a month ago. We
have yet to hear of single instance
where the price of the output of
these manufacturing plants have
been reduced one penny. And it
is also true that these plants have
certainly not been running at loss
hitherto. Therefore, If a cut is
made in wages why in justice to all
not reduce the price Of the product
If orders are slack reduce the num-
Der of employees or shorten the hours
Of labor, but keep up wages. 1t is
true that very good wages have pre-
vailed for some time in the North
west, but II Is also true that the
necessaries Of life have been keep
ing step with them. Hence, when
wages 20 down and necessities do
not follow suit, it will work hard
ship upon labor.
