WORRIED THE YOUNG MOTHER.
Lack of "Progress" Might Have Proved
 a Serious Thing.

When peorle in our part of the country select family physician they stick to him." says an Illinois physi- elan. eff he goes away they won't call in some one else if they can possibly help it. They have faith in nobody out their own man, so long as he man ages to be fairly successful. Last spring I went up to Chicago for few days, much to the distress of young mo; her in our town, who expects me to inspect her only baby every other day at least. The second day of my stay she telegraphed me to come home at once. Baby was sick-she told me the trouble-she didn't know what to do. It wasn't an urgent case, 1 knew, so I wired back a reassuring message. told her to give the baby a dose of some medicine she had at hand, and to fill out the ten words 1 put in Prog nosis admirable I always like to use large words when I'm telegraphing- makes me feel that I'm getting the worth of my money, you know. When I got home two days later 1 went to see the baby.
 "'Shes all right now" the mother told me, but we were awfully worried We had to rely on the medicine you left, though The boy at the drug store didn't have a bit of prognosis in the place."

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES.
A Matter on Which All Success in
 Life Is Dependent.

A physician tells me that he goes through his medical library every year and throws out a lot of books which have become useless to him be- cause the new, up-to-date, the more progressive, are pushing out the old.
 We all know that some of the scien- tific books published are useless year after they appear in print. There never was time in the history of the world when the new in every line of endeavor crowded out the old as it does to-day.
 If you examine your business thor oughly you will probably find old-fogy methods, obsolete ideas, and cumber- some ways of doing things; a lot of red tape in your methods.
 Remember that nothing else is i'm proving faster than business methods. If you are keeping books as they were kept quarter of a century ago, if you are using the same business system, you will find that you are way be- hind the times.-Success Magazine.

CarIyIe's Curious Study.

Thomas Carlyle, the noted English philosopher and historian, had a curi- ous study. It comprised the entire third floor of his narrow brick house at Chelsea, a London suburb. The walls of the study were of double thickness, to prevent street noises from annoying the master while at his work, and a skylight afforded the light. Just how fresh air was fur nished the room was not apparent to the visitor There is nothing about the room to suggest comfort only a close, thick-walled, skylighted long apartment where the great dyspeptic worked and worked ceaselessly, and from where he hurried to the kitchen, in the basement of the house, as soon as his days labor was done. In the kitchen he received his most intimate friends, and there they smoked their pipes together.

A Wronq Attitude,

Hundreds of working girls to-day, who are toiling to support aging par ents, or to aid younger children, are incomparably superior to many of the aristOcrats of earth, because they are developing character-which is the only thing in this life that counts in the great scheme.
 But the working girl and man who are filled with envy and hatred toward the rich are not to be admired or re- spected merely because they labor.
 If you work only because you must, and hate your work, and hate every man who has wealth and leisure, do not imagine your labor makes you wOrthier than his wealth in the eyes of the Creator, for it does not
 Whether you are poor or rich is of small consideration in the long run, but what you are in character and principle is of eternal importance.

TIGERS FOND OF HUMAN FLESH.
Many Natives of India Yearly Made
 Prey of Jungle Monarch.

About 4,OO0 men were eaten by tigers in India between 1900 and 1904 A large proportion of these unfor- tunates perished during periods of famine, when the beasts are made bold by hunger and are driven to the plains in search of water. The deaths caused by tigers in India constitute 37 per cent of the whole number due to wild beasts. All tigers are not man eaters, but when a tiger has once tasted mans flesh he will not be con- tent until he has had more of it. Where f1ocks and herds abound, how ever, man is rarely victim of the tiger. An old man-eater is usually very clever and tricky and can avoid the most skillful hunters. It is affirmed that a single tiger in southern India has killed 200 men, and that one in the Himalayas has killed more 300.

An old Scotchman surprised us all by remarking: Your famous New Eng lar7 dish of r0rk and beans came di- rectly from England, where for cen turies it was the reigning favorite with all classes.

There is no more desirable trait for companion in the journey of life than that Of cheerfulness the yokefel- low of good temper. "A merry heart doeth good" But cheerfulness is not merely hila~ity and fun. It includes the ability to look on the bright side, to make the best of everything. to re- fuse to meet trouble half way. and to do ones best bravely and hopefully

HURLS BABE TO SAFETY.
Woman Cut Down by Train, Saves
Her Little Child.

Tacoma, Wash, June 20.-Tearing
down the curved grade on the east
side of the. Puyallup river bridge
early this morning, the last outbound
interurban train from Tacoma to Sc
attic passed over the PROSTATE form
of Mrs. George Sloan, an Indian wo-
man about 80 years old. who lay
asleep on the track with her o.
months-old baby at her side.
Both of the woman's legs were sew
cred near the hips, but the baby was
not bruised or injured. 1t is believed
the babe will die from exposure. Mrs.
Sloan was hastened to the hospital,
dying a few hours later from the
shock and loss of blood.
AS the train bore down uOon the
woman she was aroused from the deep
fatigue and raising herself to sitting
posture, frantically grabbed the sleep
ing baby and tossed it from the rails.
Barely had the tiny bundle been hurl-
ed away than the train passed over
the woman's limbs and with a shrek
she fell back unconscious.

STATE DRUGGISTS MAY
COME TO PENDLETON.
Local Druggists Are Going After Next
Annual Convention OF Pharma-

Local Druggists Are Going After Next
Annual Convention OF Pharma-
cists.
An earnest effort is to be made to
bring the next convention OF the state
druggists association to this city and
Pendleton pharmacists will go to Long
Beach in July with the intention Of
capturing that honor for Pendleton.
mo session of the druggists asso-
citation has ever been held in eastern
Oregon and we think It is time this
section of the state is being recogniz-
ed" DECLARED A. C. Koeppen today.
Acting upon the desire to have their
fellow pharmacists come here the
Koeppen brothers and other local men
are planning a little campaign to that
end. The session this year will be
held at Long Beach on July 7. s, 9,
and 10. At that time the time and
place for the next meeting will be de-
cided upon.
While plans have not been fully
perfected il is suggested by Mr.. Keep
pen that portion of the convention
time be passed in this city and the re-
mainder at Wenaha springs.
In many respects the druggists
conventions are more in the nature Of
outings than business gatherings.
While some business is transacted,
those in attendance also have much
time for pleasure and. it is believed
that the attractions of the Blue noun
tain resort will appeal to them. The
wives and daughters of the druggists
also accompany them upon their an
nual gatherings and the sessions are
very pleasant socially. Last year the
convention was held at Seaside at the
same time as the o. n. G. encamp-
ment

Monday Morning.

The Newport Construction company
will begin work next Monday morning
on the repairs to the Court street
macadam which has proved to be un-
satisfactory. The work vii require
several weeks and a force of 25 men
will be employed.
Ross Newport will have charge Of
the work and the outfits will arrive
this evening from Hermiston. The
street was macadamized several
months ago, but has not proved to be
satisfactory either to the city or the
construction company, and it will be
worked over entirely and made good.
The surface will practically all be re-
placed with new but it is thought that
the foundation of the macadam is all
right and will not be disturbed.

ONTARIO WOOL SELLS HIGH.
Million Pounds Changed Hands at
Good Prices.

Monte B. Gwinn returned from
Ontario last night and says that the
wool sale held there yesterday was
very gratifying to the growers. High
er prices were paid than at any other
sale in eastern Oregon this year and
most of the clip of that section was
disposed of yesterday.
"a million pounds of wool was sold
at the Ontario sale and the prices
ranged from IL cents to as high as
16 u.s." said Mr.. Gwinn today. much
of the wool was from the Steen noun
tain and was very clean and light.
This fact partly accounts for the
better prices paid at Ontario"

manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, 1t is not claimed
that Syrup Of Figs and Elixir OF
Sesna Is the only remedy Of known
value, but one Of many reasons why
It is the best OF personal and family
laxatives Is the fact that 1t cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which 1t acts without any
debllitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and Its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as It is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get Its
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine-manufactured by the Cali
