THE SEA HATE.

Soft It sings in shining rlpples, glad
beneath the golden day,
With a laugh among the dune grass
as it filings its jewel spray;
But / hate its smiles and whispers,
for beneath the white, curled
crests
Lies the great black heart of terror
and the wrath that never rests.
Hidden from the blessed daylight, in
its caves it heaves and throbs,
With a dreadful choking gurgle and
a sound of dying throbs.
And the long, dark trailing, seaweed.
lifted on its ebb and flow.
Is like hair of drowned women
whelmed within the undertow.
Through the pale green dusks of twi'
light, from the rolling mystic
line,
Comes a chant of fear and beauty
calling sweet to me and mine;
But | flee the siren music of the cruel,
Turing flood,
For its doom Is in its message and
the answer in my blood.

WARNING AGAINST DUST.

A new warning against the danger
of dust has just been issued by George
NJ. Kober of the Georgetown Medical
College. He gives statistics showing
how fatal dust is to human beings
Dust is the greatest germ carrier in
the world.
While dogs carry the disease of ra-
bies, the mosquito brings you malaria
and yellow fever, water carries ty-
phoid, flies bring consumption, dust
is the universal chariot of the microbe
the common carrier of disease germs
of every sort. The man who sweeps
up restaurant while patrons are eat
ing or a full barber shop ought to
be handcuffed as surely as dogs should
be muzZled.
member Of the board Of health of
New York city was recently asked
why so little is done to compel peo-
pie to abate the dust nuisance.
"Give us time" was the Doctors
answer. I'VE can't do too many things
at once in our campaign of health
Every new step is combatted vicious

to hinder us in our efforts to stamp

THE REAL ESTATE MAN.

I'd have become rancidly rich by this

what is essentially a romanticistlc
story. And buyers of country prop
erty seem to be much more respon>
sive to a touch" than buyers of Lit
eratoor. But tell you what, l should
pass rapidly over the furnace ques,

and the hot air interest In real estate
talk are both extremely difficult. Ex-
tremely so.

upon THE MAP.

This fall the Pendleton high school
football team won the state champion
ship for the second time. Last even
ing the high school basketball teams
won a double-header game from The
Dalles. Pendleton also has students
that are prominent in the various big
educational institutions of the north
west. From a students standpoint
Pendleton is upon the map.
Pendleton is also upon the map as
wheat center. 1t is known through
out the world that Umatilla county
raises one per cent of the wheat of
the United States. 1t is known that
last year this county raised 100000
bushels of wheat and sold it for a
sum aggregating about $4,00O,O00.
Pendleton is also upon the map as a
wool town. This town ships more
wool than does any other town in the
northwest; the sheep commission has
headquarters here; the officials of the
woolgrowers' association live here;
the bureau Of animal industry has its
northwest headquarters here, and so
do the woolbuyers.
Pendleton is also upon the map for
other reasons. 1t is upon the map as
one Of the best looking, liveliest little
cities Of the country. It is upon the
map as a town that put 30 saloons out
Of business but is still in the ring
just as lively and as busy as ever.
Pendleton is upon the map as a
town where the people work to ad-
vance the Interests Of the town and
Of the surrounding country. 1t is
known as a town where a town spirit
prevails.
It is nice to live in town that is

Aside from the well-known effects
Of vitiated air the particles of dust
which fly in the various manufactures

many is so bad that one investigator
found only one person in eight of
those pursuing the calling to be over
40 years of age. The Quincy stone
cutters are shown to be susceptible
to consumption
Seventy-two per cent of the deaths
among the metal grinders of Solingen
are due to consumption, as compared
with S5.5 per cent among the general
population. Workers In mica dust
and bronzing powders used in the
manufacture of wall papers, fancy
souvenir cards, holdings, frames, etc.
are found predisposed to disease of
the respiratory passages, and the

produce headache and diseases of the
digestion.
Persons engaged in glass cutting
not only suffer from inhalation of
sharp and irritating dust, but also
from lead poisoning from the use of
putty powder. Gem fnishers also
have a high consumption and sick
rate. The emery and corundum in
dustry must be classed with the
trades intrinslcally dangerous to
health. on account of the peculiarly
irritating character of the dust.
Coal miners. charcoal men, fire
men. chimney sweeps etc, who are
exposed to the constant inhalation of
coal dust and SCOT suffer badly from
catarrh. but not especially from con-
sumption. This should be gratifying
information to a much wider circle
than the followers of tfhse callings
since in the smoke-ridden modern
cities the condition of nearly every
body approximates that of the coal

THE SAME WORLD.

In Partisan gallery there is row
of paintings showing the great war;
riors of the world. Alexander the
Great, Caesar, Hannibal, Charlemagne,
Napoleon and others are there por-
trayed as they looked in the heighth of
their glory. These were great men
of the past-great because of the
might of their armies. They believed
in the rule Of might. They lived in
an age of blood and iron.
Since Napoleon's time the world has
advanced to some extent. Wars are
no longer waged for reasons that suf-
feed in his day. Nations now seek
to avoid wars and they are resorted
to only when all else fails
Yet the world is now armed as it
never was before. A single modern
battleship could destroy all the an
cient fleets combined. One modern
machine gun could NOV down a regi-
ment of Napoleons crack Cuirassiers.
The world still understands the eff
cacy of force. But it seldom resorts
to force This is an age of CONNER
cialism and of industrialism. The
world is being conquered by new
methods. Instead of following the
tactics of Alexander the Great, Euro
pean, American and oriental business
men are now striving for the mastery
of the world.
But the human race has not chang
ed in any fundamental particular. The
fittest still survive. though the meth
DDS of elimination are slightly differ
ent. Even wars still occur, though
rarely. There are people who think
that the world today is something en-
tirely different from what it was. But
it is the same world. The same fun
damental principles obtain now that
existed in ancient and medieval times
only the struggle is waged along
new and more enlightened lines.
