THE FOLLY OF THE DAY.

There is wonderful ambition
abroad for being "genteel We
keep up appearances too often at TIE
expense of honesty; and though we
may not be rich, yet we must
seem to be respectable" )" though
only in the meanest sense
In mere vulgar show. We have
not the courage to go patiently
onward in the condition of life to
which it has pleased God to call us;
but must needs be in some fashionable
state to which we ridiculously please
to call ourselves, and all to crafty
the vanity of that unsubstantial, gen
teel world of which we form a port
There is a constant struggle and pres
sure for front seats in the soicaI
ampitheatre; in the midst of which
all noble, self-denying resolve is trod-
den down, and many fine natures are
inevitably crushed to death. What
waste, what misery, what bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to daz
zle others with a glare of apparent
worldly success, we need not describe.
The mischievous results show them
selves in thousand ways-in the
rank frauds committed by men who
dare to be dishonest, but do not care
to seem poor; and in the desperate
dashes at fortune, in which the pity
is not so much for those who fail
as for the hundreds Of innocent fami-
lies who are 50 often involved in
their ruin.

Waste-basket! Inscribed in our

sun shines three hundred and sixty
six days in the year We like to
think Of the South as one Of those
Blessed Islands, left in buzy and
sometimes careless world, where ev-
erything is kindness and courtesy and
good cheer. Sometimes, when we are
misunderstood and Southerners write
us to go off and jump into the sea,
this is hard to do, and we are hurt
and puzzled. LAGRANGE, however,
makes our dreams come true. We are
all going there some day-going to
walk under the elm trees, sit on the
white polticos and look out at those
rose gardens; but first and most i'm

ticular white portico and rose garden

LETTER FROM AN OLD LADY

Southerners love but nowadays hear
all too seldom:

folks lived every day instead of
once a week and away back in our

place we are going to when the

LIVED 75 YEARS
ON THE UMAT|LLA
OLD INDIAN CLINGS TO
HIS BIRTHPLACE
Lal-la-mat Who Was Born In His
Fathers Tepee at the Mouth of
the Umatilla River Still Hovers
About That Spot--Has Always
Lived on the UmatilIa River

To have lived for rs years in a ra-
dius of so miles from Umatllla: to
have seen the first horde of white
men pour into the inland empire;
to have watched the gradual settle
ment of Umatilla county from the
earliest civilization to the present.
to have watched with wondering
eyes the coming of the railroad and
the steamboat, the gang plow and
the automobile, where once reigned
the Cayuse pony and the Indian wig
wam-this is the lot of but few liv-
Ing beings, but such is the record of
Lal-la-mat, an aged Columbia river
Indian, who occasionally visits his
cousins on the Umatilla reservation
and who left for his shanty near
Umatilla today.
Lal-la-mat was born in 1882 at the
mouth of the Umatilla river and in
mingling of sign language, English,
Cayuse and Chinook today told the
interesting story of his life to the
East Oregonian.
Hi fathers tepee was located on
the river bottom on the Umatilla
river just below the o. R. & n. rail-
road bridge at Umatilla close to the
bank of the Columbia and for so
years his parents lived on that spot. |
Lal-la-mat and eight brothers and |
sisters were born there and now in
mis- old age this feeble old Indian
cllngs closely to that spot endeared
by such long associations to his heart.
Until he was so years of age,
Lal-lamat had never visited beyond
the confines of the Cayuse country
comprising Umatilla county, but
when he was so he went with a par
" of his brethren to pay his Nez
Ferce cousins visit near Lapwai
Aside from a few visits to The
Oalles and Lapwai his entire life has
'een spent up and down the UmatiI-
river between the Umatilla agency
md Umatilla. He is now feeble al
most blind and palsied and it is with
'reat difficulty that he is able 70
iimo on and off the o. r. & N
rains, puff wagons" as he calls
hem.
he Is one Of the few Indians who
ave beard and since he was l
oung man has had heavy growth of S
eard under his chin. He has never S
cen shaved but he has had his hair t
" several times and wears white \
ian,s clothing, except that he adds a Il
Ianket covering on cold days.

INDIAN AND HALF BREED FIGHT
Horseshoe Restaurant Scene of Live

Dishes Figure.

Last night a gentle melee occurred
in the Horseshoe restaurant when
Ed Chapman, an Indian, and Dave
Pichette, half breed, carried on
three-round skirmish with dishes and
other weapons that were close at
hand. The two men were eating in
the chop house when they became
mixed in broil and in a short time
stools and dishes were flying fast.
While the fight was on one of the
night officers appeared on the scene
and both of the scrappers were
marched to the city Jail. Pinchette
was able to get released by giving
sle bail, but Chapman. being en-
oarrassed financially, is still Ian
in the lookup.
