Ward and o. B1ien Ride
Through Streets Together

The sight revealed the fact that while
both were saying naughty things about
each other through the advertising de-
partments of the daily papers, each has
a respect and warm friendship for his
political enemy The sight, too, reminded
one of that famous and now historic din
ner at which Mayor Ward, then candi-
date for Mayor and ex-Mayor Drennen,
who was seeking reelection, sat down
together like two lambs. The time of this
dinner was on the day previous to the
primary and after the two had fooled
the people into believing that each was
a rascal and a thief, they shook hands
across the same board and slyly winked.

Visits Husband.
Evelyn Nesbt Thaw visited her hus-
band in the Tombs yesterday for the
first time since she began to tell the story
of her life on the witness stand. She
was accompanied by r. Peabody and
John b. Gleason of Thaw's counsel. The
four had long conference in the counsel
room of the prison. Thaw seemed to be
in a pleasant mood. He would not dis
cuss the progress of his trial, however.
Some of the jurors are beginning to
chafe under the close restraint in which
they are held. Under the rules which
have been laid down for them they are
denied practically every liberty ana
they are permitted to leave the hotel for
air only when all twelve of the men
wish to go. Then they are taken out un-
der close guard. This condition resulted
today in what developed into rather an
unpleasant disagreement between the
twelve men. About half the number
wanted to go out for a walk during the
forenoon, as they missed the usual walk
down to the criminal courts building.
The Others had no desire to go out, now
ever. They were weary as result OF
the trying days in court, and preferred
TO lounge around their suite in the MOTEL

ment brought no result, and then the

he was powerless. He could not permit

FRATERNAL INSURANCE.

The gathering of the delegates of
the fifth district of the Woodmen of
the World for oregon, in the city of
Pendleton today, calls special atten-
ton to two things: The Importance of
Pendleton as a convention city in
eastern oregon, and the value and i'm
portance of fraternal insurance in the
life of modern people.
In all the old line insurance tur-
moil of the past two years, there have
been no scandals and no failures in
fraternal insurance. The interests of
policy holders in fraternal insurance
societies are safeguarded by the fact
that the policy holders, themselves,
make their own laws, hold their own
conventions, select their own officers
and direct their own business.
The delegates from the various
camps of the Woodmen of the World
in Pendleton today are from the ranks
of the policy holders. Many of them
carry but $1,000 insurance and yet they
have as much voice as though they
carried millions, were they permitted
to do so.
Fraternal insurance is kept close to
the people, close t. the policy holders
close to the membership, by the dem,
ocratic spirit which rules the societies
Rivalries and contests exist in the
orders, 1t is true, but the orders are
better for them.
Pendleton welcomes the Woodmer
and hopes that they make this thei
permanent meeting place, since it i
in the center of their eastern Oregon
district, convenient to all parts of tn
district and the logical meeting place

THE SEWING MACHINE. FROM A
HYGIENE VIEWPOINT-TTS
EFFECT ON WOMEN.

Husbands who are solicitous re-
garding the health and we'll being OF
their wives should regard the hygienic
features of the sewing machine as be-
ing of tenfold greater import than all
the other features, for health should
take precedence over everything else.
The only safe rule Is to select a sew
Ing machine that has received the in
dorsement of most competent and un-
biased hygienic authority.
Buy no sewing machine that is not
constructed along the most thoroughly
scientific lines, nor machine that re-
quires undue force in its propulsioii,
but, upon the other hand, let these
features be the prime ones in deter
mining your choice.
At least one sewing machine Is ut
terly free from criticism along these
lines by the physicians and the hygien-
ist. The well known Standard Rotary
Sewing Machine, either because of
the long years of experience Of its
manufacturers, enabling them to grad
ually eliminate all such undesirable
features or on account of its superior
mechanism, certainly is free from
every Objectionable feature of the
kind.
1t is hygienlcafly correct, and can
be used without fatigue or strain, mas
much as a cramped position on the
part of the operator is avoided; 1t does
not require undue strength to propel
1t; it never runs unevenly, thus avoid
ing shocks and jars.
There may be other sewing ma
chimes that are free from the hygienic
objections mentioned, but they have
not come under observation or inves-
legations, aud our examination covers
about every sewing machine in the
American market.
The editorial department of the
New York Health Journal is not at all
interested in augmentlng the sales or
increasing the profits of any one man
ufacturer, but 1t is decidedly Interest,"
ed in protecting the health of its sub
scribers by affording fair and unbias-
ed information to its readers who seek
these editorial columns for unprejudic-
ed suggestions and disinterested ad-
vice that cannot be found in either
printed circulars sent out by manu-
facturers, newspaper advertisements
or paid "write-ups."
Not for the benefit Of those who
may incidentally profit by our state
ments, but solely IL the interests Of
readers, we unhesitatingly say that
the Standard machine is the only sew
ing machine upon which has been be-
slowed the unqualified editorial in
dorsement of the New York Health
Journal.

BOOK TRADE IN ANCIENT ROME

In the time of Augustus Caesar,
books in the form of papyrus rolls.
copied by overworked and underpaid
slaves from the authors original
manuscript, were abundant and aston
ishinglS cheap. Horace hints in one of
his epistles that his works were being
pirated and sold so cheap that they
were getting into the hands of the rab-
BILE and becoming schoolbooks. Mar
tial. in one of his epigrams, says that
a copy of his Thirteenth book may be
bought for nummi (about Is cents)
and that If Tryphon, the bookseller,
should sell 1t at 2 nummi he would
still get a profit. Both Horace and
Martial convey the idea that their pub
fishers occasionally put out larger edi-
tions than could be sold. In the mat
ter of editions de luxe, Martial writes
that volume Of his epigrams polish

That a man of talent and ability

Curious Effect From Dirty Feet.

Because John Hermann, a small boy
in Lincoln, Neb, forgot his mothers
command to be sure and wash his feet
before going to bed, several Lincoln
men seem to owe him the chance to
make fortune. An antiphlogistine
factory is to be started in consequence,
the antiseptic application to be manu-
factured from clay banks in the south
ern part of the city. The boy, who
had gone barefooted for the first time
this year, awoke the next morning to
find that his clay-colored feet were
blistered. DR.. Winnett, after examin-
Ing the clay with which the young
ster's feet was coated, declared that
all that It needed to obtain very good
quality Of antiphlogistine, or Denver
mud, was the addition OF glycerine
and an antiseptic. The doctors and
the owners Of the land through which
the clay banks run, at once made

SAVE WESTERN SONGS.

The East Oregonian has just re-
ceived a letter from John A. Lomax
of Harvard university, asking for
copies of all the folk lore songs of
the ranch, range and mines of the
west, which might linger in the men,
ory of the editor or be within reach of
his inquiry.
Cowboy songs by the dozens are 60
ing to waste in Oregon. Pioneer bal
lads which have cheered the settlers
on the lonely homesteads and on the
more lonely emigrant tra1s, are to
be found by the score in the memories
of the pioneers.
These are to be saved in Harvard
university as part of the history of
the settlement of the west. It is
worthy work and the East Oregonian
invites any one having typical west
ern song, one which is peculiar to the
west, to send 1t in and it will be
great collection in Harvard's archives.
Who that has ever rode the range
humming around the smouldering fire
at night the familiar words:
20, bury me not in the lone prai-ree
Where the wild coyote may howl o'er
me-?
Or If not this gem, then perhaps the
following:
"Toll the bells slowly and roll the
sod DER me, for I'm lone cow
boy and far from my home"
Who has not been reminded of the
leveling hand of death by the cowboy
song:
"six feet of earth makes us all of
one size"?
Or who, upon the fire being replen-
lished and the spirit of the night re-
vived, has not heard the best singer
in camp break out joyously:
20 give me home where the buffalo
roam, where the deer and the
antelope play;
Where never is heard one discourag-
ing word and the sky is not
cloudy all day?
on hundreds of pioneer farms in Ore
gon what folk lore song has given
more cheer than this:
'The potatoes they grow small
In Kansas:
They dig them in the fall,
And they eat them skins and all,
In Kansas!
And a companion to this Kansas
ditty also suggests the prairies and the
desolate winters of pioneer days:
"A-listening to the blizzard and a.
burning twisted hay,
In the little old sod shanty on the
claim"
Pathos and sentiment Of the richest
kind are mingled in these folk lore
songs, the following being one Of the
sentimental specimens.
Just a little sunshine, just a little
rain:
Just a little happiness, Just a lttle
pain;
Just little poverty, Just little gold,
And then the great eventful tale of
Life is told"!
The list could be continued ad in
finitum from memory, for every west
ern boy learned these songs, long be-
fore the advent of "Hiawatha," 1.-THE
Miserere," "silver Heels" "The We'd
ding March," or any other present ia
vorites in sentiment, ragtime, opera or
otherwise.
