THE KING OF BEVERAGES.
Water To-Day, as Ever, the Chief
Staple Of Human Life.

Water is the king of beverages: it
is the beverage to which all turn
when they would cure themselves of
the injurious habit of consuming other
beverages. But water that is not pure
may be more harmful than the most
harmful of other drinks. says a writer
in What to Eat Every health depart
ment should emphasize the dangers
OF impure water and urge upon the
public the necessity of giving this
matter first consideration. There are
at my command numerous health re-
ports bearing on this subject. and it
is not difficult to prove that the death
rate would be enormously lowered by
greater care with regard to the con-
sumption of pure water.
Water is the basis of all other bev-
erages. All beverages of mans man.
ufacture are water that has been adul-
terated by admixtures and chemical
treatment
Pure water is the one beverage
which has stood the test of science
and come down to us unscathed
through continuous use for countless
ages. 1t is natures chiefest blessing
to man. Other beverages undergo
many changes with time. Each age
brings them forth in new styles. new
methods of manufacture, new proc
esses of chemical treatment. aging
and keeping. Foods change with each
successive generation. We eat differ
ent kinds of foods from time to time.
each generation prepares them diff
ferently; there are different methods
OF compromising them, different meth
DDS of cooking them. Pure water is
the same yesterday, to-day, and for
ever. From long before the time
of the Pool of Sloan, mentioned in
Holy Writ, to the present time. pure
water has undergone no change. and
people have never lost a taste for it.
Other tastes come and go; the taste
for water never varies So long as
man and beast inhabit the earth. the
practice" OF drinking water will
never cease.

Once = Printer, New a millionaire.

Portland, Ore, Aug. O.-There land
ed in Portland fifty-eight years ago a
foot-sore and weary printer boy looking
for job. He came from Pittsburg.
Pa, before that city began to turn out
millionaires like sausages. No one woul |
have picked him out for winner, but
that he is today the biggest success f.
nancially in the Pacific northwest is uni
versally admitted
This printer boy is now better known
as Henry l.. Pittock, chief owner of the
OregOnian. which helped to organize
the Associated Press, and one of the
big timber barons of the Pacific north
west.
FROM COTTAGE TO SKY-SCRAPER.
In addition to the running of his news
paper, just fifty-one years today, young
Pittock got together $500 and bought a
block of ground. 1t Was out in the
woods and covered with timber. Port.
land was the home of the Oregon pen
Tertiary then and he made a contract
with the state government to have the
cOnvicts clear his ground for 500, max
ing the total cost $500. He carried this
property for four years without getting
any return from it, and then he married
and built little cottage on one corner;
as he prospered he built larger home,
but an exceedingly modest one, and lie
is just moving from that today 10 give
place for a modern sky-scraper.
This Block, which cost a total of 500.
has been leased for 80 Years. The
ground rent for the first ten years will
be $50, 900 year, AMI each rive y ars
this will be increased ten per cent until
from January 1st, 1907, to Dece.1' err
31st, zoos, the annual rent of the block
will be SOB, 56S, and all this free of tax
es or any other expense.
Pittock built the first sky-scraper in
this part of the United States. He is
one of these young old men who partic -
pate in all public affairs. Like many
another successful man he is proud of
the fact that he has never been out of
debt for a single moment of his entire
life.

Wild TrIbesman Msnacinu Moroccan citii s

Paris, Aug. IA serious condition
of affairs exists at Tangier. The region
around Casablanca is swarming with
thousands of fanatical tribesmen who.
mounted on superb horses, are swoop-
ing down necessarily upon the French
forces, but are never able to drive
home their attacks against the wither-
ering fire of rifles and guns of the
troops.
The reckless courage of the tribesmen
Is attested in the manner which they re-
turn to the onslaught.
Aside from the trouble at Casablanca
the situation seems to be a threatening
one lower down the coast.
In two wireless dispatches dated Sat.
urday night, Rear Admiral Philibert,
commanding the French naval division,
reports attacks Friday night and Satur-
day afternoon at Casablanca. The lat
ter the Admiral describes as "heavy,
but quite brilliantly repulsed."
Two of his men were wounded. He
reports also that many horsemen are
approaching the Mazagan coast and that
the city of Mazagan is threatened.
The cruiser Du Chayla has been sent
to Saffi and Mogador, where the Ad-
miral anxiously awaits news. He re-
ports that calm reigns at Rabat.

Preacher and the Pyramids.

A Concordia clergyman who is MAX
ing a tour of Egypt writes home that,
although one of the pyramids occupies
10 acres, it doesn't matter, for no
crops would grow on the land any
how. 1T is wonderfully impressive,
and as l rode around it / wished an
unavailing wish that l could be alone.
But this was impossible. The camel
driver and all of his neighbors and
relatives and friends were attending
me, not because they cared at all for
the stranger from far country, but
because they wanted a share of his
money. / wished to enter the temple
to see the few rooms there, but when
l started in that direction a mighty
host of Bedouins started, too. They
had been lying in the sand, but now
they came rushing up to be on hand
at the very start. l gave it up, for l
could not see or learn anything with
such a rabble at my heels. kansas

A Sermon In He'll.

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.-Spealeing as the
soul of wealthy man who died, Rev.
Dr. Milton ]. Sloppy, pastor of the fash
ionable Buena Vista Street M. E.
Church, caused a sensation this morning
with "a sermon preached in hell"
Michael, Gods Angel of Wrath.
came with his message to one who was
known as man of wealth and power.
who Jared sumptuously every day and
who had no pity for the beggar at his
gates, said the preacher. This man
died and the Son of God for a time I'm
bars the doors and reveals a soul in hell
in torment.
THE opened doors and the sermon
preached in hell reveal that all lines of
all cities and towns east of Pittsburg,
have a common level. There are no mast
ers or servants, no purple garments or
clothing of rags. All meet on the same
level and the man doomed by his wealth
is preaching to them all.
1--WE are told there is another period
of probation, but the wealthy man who
died has not heard of it
The sermon was a scathing arraign-
ment of the wealthy and selfish and the
preacher drew horrible picture of the
torment to which all who violate Cod
law are doomed.

The Social Secretary


Long ago 1t was found desirable to
place the work of factory improve
ment in the hands of a salaried So
cial secretary, says The Reader. This
person, man where men are en-
ployed, woman where girls are in
question, serves as a point Of contact
between the firm and the workers
supervising what may be called the
domestic department of factory life
to see that abuses which arise he
cause of carelessness or other causes
are corrected; that the man or WON.
an has every chance for doing work
In such way as to deserve advance
ment and to see that it comes: to
protect the firm from the wasteful-
ness of keeping on the pay roll those
who fail to give a days work for a
days pay, in some cases adjusting
salaries according to capacity. Not
In the least in the nature of a spy.
the social secretary is concerned pure
ly with the business of insuring fair
play for both sides, more particularly
from the employees viewpoint.
Firms which employ such a person
find the social secretary worth every
cent Of the good salary commanded.

Ihere is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common
niger long, green caterpillars of our

OF being in front, are at the back Of

length of the animal. One can see
the heart distinctly through the thin

Hearts of this sort reaching from

Hearts in the middle of the hack

A HERO OF THE BUSH.
Tale of Heroic Devotion That is Hard
to Parallel.

Courage is not an attribute peculiar
TO the white man, nor is self-sacrifce
the prerogative OF civilization. In ].
c. Ffrth's "Nation-Making" is told a
story as touching, in it's brave devo-
ton, as any tale Of the Victoria cross.
The incident occurred at Orakan,
where the English soldiers had Just
defeated the Maoris. A little party
OF colonial troops, pursuing fugitves,
came upon three natives, two old
men and one young fellow.
The youth, seeing the soldiers, drop
ped on one knee and aimed with his
gun at the advancing party, which
halted moment, while the old men
ran toward the forest. The old men
had thrown away their firearms in or.
der to make escape easier.
The soldiers fired at the youth. but
missed. Without discharging his gun
he sprang to his feet and ran on in
advance until he caught up with the
old men once more. Then, facins
| about, he presented his gun as be
fore, but reserved his fire.
The weary old men gradually drew
near cover. Once more the soldiers
fired and missed; once more the gal
liant fellow turned and bounded on
The old men were close to the forest
when the youth, nearly fainting
again knelt and took aim, but still
did not fire.
The soldiers shot him as he knelt
and rushed to the forest, but failed
to capture the two fugitives, who, safe
In the dense underbrush, made their
escape.
On their return the soldiers found
the brave young fellow lying dead.
His gun was empty. 1t had not been
loaded at all With it he had cover
ed the retreat of the old men and Sc
cured their freedom by the loss Of his
own life. No more gallant deed of
heroic devotion was ever accomplish
ed In any land.-Youth's Companion.

The Cheerful Woman.

The useful woman is pre-eminently
cheerful woman. She does not
cramp her mind and take narrow,
suspicious views of her friends or her
family.
She knows that the best antidote
for the blues" grief and anxiety and
fear is a pleasant, smiling face.
She has learned that while there is
much misery in everyday life that it
should not be the rule of life.
That she has the keeping of her
family's happiness in her hands, and
she knows she has no right to spoil
the days work or pleasures of her
dear ones by giving in to some petty
little within Of Miniature.
She knows the road to happiness
lies through being cheerful and sunny,

those nearest to her.-Exchange.
