There are honest makers Of foods

Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be

 why" says he. "I bought that same identical kind of harness eight or ten years ago for $500"
 The dealer went back to his old books and pulling down his specks from his perspiring brow ran over the figures to see if he had been paid fo- the last set.
 Yes" said the dealer. you did buy that kind of a set for s55. but you did not have the money then and you traded me 140 sacks of barley for Jhe harness"
 The rancher said he believed he did remember something about that trade.
 Well" returned the harness dealer. If youll bring me that same amount of barley today. I'll give you that $65.0O set of harness. like you bought several years ago for $55.OO. and on top of that I'll give you a s4O.0O sad dle. and then I'll throw in a 5000 lap robe. a s2.O0 whip and a $500 sad dle blanket and for good measure, enough axle grease to take the squeak out of your wagon for the next two years"
 The rancher stroked his whiskers a minute and pulled out the cash.

PHILLIPS AND LINCOLN.

Wendell Phillips. the most cultured and incisive orator of the abolition cause before and during the civil war. like William Lloyd Garrison and some others of the more radical anti-slavery men of that day was impatient and resentful over President Lincoln-s ear ly constitutional policy in dealing with slavery.
 In his addresses. for some of which he was mobbed, MT. Phillips did not spare the great man in the White House. whom he then very imperfectly understood. His keen. flashing sword cut to the quick and must often have given pain to the sympathetic ana sensitive spirit of the heroic president. But, in this respect as we'll as others. MT. Lincoln bided his time. and it came.
 In the early spring of 1862 Mir. Phil- lips was in Washington and had an opportunity to meet the president.
Arizona republican., 1907-06-15

Subsequently, before a vast audience in Boston. he said:
 But l must remember my visit last week to that plain. great. honest man in the White House. After long con Versation with him in regard tO the war. he went With me to the door. and taking one Of my hands between both of his great strong ones he said: MT Phillips. you go around the country a great deal talking to the people. You criticise us for not doing at once some things that you think ought to b. dOns That is all right This is a land Sf free speech and discussion: but while you are doing SO don't forget that put ting down this rebellion is a vast. biz jcb.' I shall not fail tO remember continued MT. Phillips. the heavy cares and responsibilities of that nO- ble patriot who is at the head of our government"
 When did MT. Lincoln ever fail to win over to his side a candid critic or foe when he met him face to facee IL was a marvellous victory tO dis9el the suspicious of a man of such intense convictions as Wendell Phillips: bur that little interview won it. and from that time on the great Boston agitatOr. and orator showed a gentlsr and kind CT spirit toward the patient. far-sse- ing, great-hearted president

masterpiece should be very careful in the selection of his characters and his description of these characters. He should have high ideals and present these through the various characters of the book. He should be a close and sympathetic student of nature and the work should have the effect of inspir- ing patriotism. The four essentials
 therefore are: Character. ideals. ap-
 preciation of nature, and patriotism.

 Miss Nellie Murphy followed in her essay Childhood in American Litera- ture"
 Said Miss Murphy: Child study has developed into a distinctive field in American literature-one that is not counterpart of stronger. better field on the other side of the water. The writings of Louis, Alcott. Mark Twain. William Dean Howells. Eugene Field and James WhitcOmb Riley show a sure but gradual growth of this phase of American literature up to the present time. when the magazines are full of the subject and the illustra- tors of the day are making it their main study"
 The last essay of the evening was by Mss Hubbard. Science. Its Place in Education" Miss Hubbard gave at length the account of the devotees of .lz to have the subject given its proper place in education: their attempts op- posed at every turn by the human ists" The scientists, however. were gaining ground and the subject is now nearer gaining proper recognition than ever before. Science is now coming to the front after a long and arduous struggle.
 Another selection by the chorus, Song of Stark's Men" was followed bS the address to the graduating class by Judge Kent. In speaking to the class. Judge Kent half humorously ad- yised the members to make the most of the coming year. For" said he. there probably never again will come a time when you know as much as you do now" Judge Kent spoke at some length. His address was full of inter- est. advice and suggestions and in conclusion. turning to the audience, he said And now. my friends, you who have come here to help launch this crew of adventures upon the sea of fortune. I am sure may add your voices to mine in wishing them one and all, good health. prosperity and the best of fortune"
 At this point and just previous to presenting Governor Kibbey, Prof. Matthews took occasion to make few remarks. relating a few facts of in- terest relative to the class that was about to graduate. The class is a re- markable one in many respects. It consists of thirty-one members-thirty young ladies and one young man. The average age of the class Is twenty one. though by no means are all neces- sarily near this particular point in life: the youngest in the class is just half as old as the oldest. Of the thirty-one young people. two-thirds had been in attendance at the institute for four years. the other having come from other schools. There was one in the class who enjoyed the particular of never having a discount during the entire four years of at

All 1 but five of the class of 1907 are al- l ready engaged in schools for the com | ing year and Prof Matthews might | have added with much truth, that a ! number of the class were otherwise engaged IL speaks stronger than words to the credit of the institution that over half of the graduates of the class have been engaged in the city schools of the leading cities of the territory.

 After the diplomas had been pre- sented President Matthews told the history of the Jones scholarship prize "a library of the worlds best liter ature and case. which had been in the school library all year as an incentive to good work. II was to be awarded to the student who in the last three years work of the school should make the highest average. The prize was in- stituted some years ago by the late pr. Charles H.

HERMANN TRIAL.
Letters Do Not Show He Was Con-
nscted With Land Fraud.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Two facts
were brought out in the Criminal court
yesterday while arguments were being
presented in the case of Hermann on
the motion of the district attorney that
he be allowed to amend his bill of par
ticulars. The most important fact was
the admission by the prosecution that
there is nothing whatsoever in the let
ters written by Hermann and now in
the possession of the government which
in any way duplicates him in the land
frauds. The second disclosure was the
fact that the government had many Of
these letters in its possession prior to
Hermann's indictment and subsequent
ly, while the case was being prepared,
Notwithstanding which fact, the prose-
cution in its original bill of particulars
declared that the contents of Hermann's S
so-called private letterbooks were ''un-
known"
The progress of the case was delayed
by unavailing efforts of the defense to
prevent the amending of the bill of
particulars so that the letters of Her
mann to various parties in Oregon and
other Western states secured by the
prosecution might be placed in evidence.

Saturday, February %.

Salem, Feb. 23. - The legislature
which adjourned today went down in
history as the most lavish Oregon has
ever had. A grand total of SO, 800, 900
has been appropriated.
The senate refused to adopt the house
bill changing the brush fire law.
The house reconsidered a vote of yes
terday and passed two bills giving farm
labcrers and threshermen liens on
crops for money due them.
Endorsed by nearly every assessor in
the state, the bill providing for an
equitable system Of assessing the tim
ber lands of the state went down to de-
feat in the senate.
The house finished up its business at
1870 but it was 2o'clock before the
senate was through, and it was neces-
sary for the house to continue in session
until that time.
1t was announced to the members of
the legislature that it would be more
convenient to buy tickets at the depot
than to pay fares on the train. Passes
would not do, as the new anti-pass law
is in effect.
