JULEP ISLAND.

An island in julep sea
OF orange, la sangaree;
A maraschino, fine and red,
On top, and round 1t greenly spread
Sweet landscapes of green mint where
sleep
The hidden springs of julep deep!
o Julep island, here's to you,
With shores of green and hills of blue!
Fair floating in a trapped glass,
AS though our lips the cool floods
pass;
Pineapple mountains 'gainst the sky,
And little straws to sip them by!
on Julep island 1t is sweet
To seek relief from humid heat:
To look down in the julep sea
Where all the green mint mermaids
be,
And watch the maraschino gleam-
A red sun setting in a dream!

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH

Bahren Island, in the Persian Gulf,
is said to be the hottest place on the
golbe far hotter than Tophet. The
average temperature is about 141 de-
grees. on the coast, where the people
live, there is no fresh water, but here
and there in the harbor's bottom are
strong, free-flowing springs of purest
water, rivaling that which flows
down the sides of the mountains of
Lebanon, favored by the sap of heal
thy cedars. Divers equip themsel-
yes with bags of skins and descend to
the springs. where they fill the invert-
ed receptacles with aqua pura. The
water is cold enough to drink with>
out the aid of ice, of which the is
landers know nothing

THE TAIL OF THE SCORPION.

T. T. Geer, who was once elected
United states senator by the people
Of Oregon, and who has until the last
two years, claimed to be an advocate
Of the popular election Of United
States senator's, now advises repub-
lican members Of the legislature who
are pledged to the peoples choice, to
resign rather than vote for the peo-
pies choice, who happens to be a
democrat.
He says there would be nothing dis
reputable, cowardly or improper about
such procedure. He would have
them run away from a plain duty to
which they are honorably pledged.
He would have them stink out OF Of
flee by the back door OF a resigna-
ton rather than face the music" like
men and do the bidding Of the sov-
ereign people Of oregon.
Geer's advice to the weakened
brethren recalls the old legend Of the
scorpion, which, when surrounded by
its enemies, with no chance Of escape
left. and no courage remaining to face
the foe, committed suicide by pierre
ing its own brain with the tip Of its
poisonous tail.
Geer would have republican men,

wastes of the dunes, in the eternal
silence, the lifelessness that is not
bl oxen even by any lonely, wandering
bird, the oamels are stopped at the APP
pointed hours, the poor, and often
ragged. robes are laid down, the brown
pilgrims PROSTATE themselves In pray
err. And the rich man spreades his
carpet, and prays. And the half naked
nomad spreads nothing; but he prays,
too.
The East Is full of lust, and full OF
money-getting, and full of bartering,
and full of violence; but 1t is full OF
worship-of worship that disdains
concealment that recks not Of ridicule
or comment, that believes too utterly
to care II others disbelleve. There
are in the East many men who do not
pray. They do not laugh at the man
who dies, like the unpraylng Christ
ian. There is nothing ludlcrous TO
them in prayer. In Egypt your Nub-
ian sailor prays in the stern Of your
dahabeah: and your Egyptian boat
man prays by the rudder Of your boat
and your black donkey-boy prays be-
hind red rock in the sand; and your
camel-man prays when you are rest
ing in the. .noontide, watching the far
off, qulverlng mirage, lost in some
wayward dream.-Robert Hichens.

THE U. S. WOMAN.

Hail the pretty U. S, woman,
Daughter of our Uncle Sam
She's the queen Of all the empires
And from Butte to Amersterdam!
She has eyes that dance and sparkle
Like a pulsing river kissed
BY the bushes of the morning
Shooting arrows through the mist,
she has lips as ripe and ruddy
As the apple Of the fall
When the autumn azure shimmers
Like a halo over all.
She has hair of silk that's braided
BY Diana in the sun,
And the grace of swaying willows
When the laughing waters run.
And her heart intrenched from
lackeys
Is as pure as crystal dew,
And as beautoous and loyal
AS the sky's cerulean blue.
l, is kind and sympathetic,
Quick to sense a woman's part
Or to lift the pail Of sadness
From a bleeding, kindred heart.
All, the maid of Uucle Sam'l,
Lass of charms and tender grace;
Brave and constant, sweet and pretty:
1.-the of form and fair of face
OF her virtue and her beauty
Genus man expatiates.
Growing her with bays of glory,
Queen Of these United states!

PORTLAND'S LAST TRIUMPH.

Dick Stanley, the champion bron-
cho buster" at the Frontier fair held
last week at Cheyenne, is a Portland
man.
Now this may be all right for Tom
Richardson and the Portland papers
to take this honor all to Portland, but
there is a suspicion in the minds of
old Oregonians that Dick Stanley
learned to ride some where in the
short grass counties" east of the
Cascades and that although he may
have visited Portland occasionally,
taht his lllihee is on some remote
creek in the COW counties.
It's all right, anyway. It's an Ore
gon victory and was wrested from the
greatest riders on earth, those from
the Laramie plains, the Nebraska
prairies, the Dakota bad lands and
the COLORADO ranges.
Here's to Dick Stanley wherever in
Oregon ne belongs.
But Portland will have a hard time
making anybody in oregon believe
that the champion broncho buster
Of the world learned to ride on
Washington street, or that he owns
mansion on Council Crest or conducts
a business regularly anywhere in
Portland.
But it's all right If it helps Port
land. Let her claim him.

thousand acres of land
Several months since Mr.. Magnu-

Yesterday Mr., Magnuson with his
wife applied for $40 acres of land
situated contiguous to and adjoining
the Jones property. He also filed
upon the waters of two streams in
that vicinity.
According to the plan he has an

will construct a large reservoir on
the ranch at cost OF approximately
$4,000 for the purpose of storing wa
ter to be used in irrigating the
ground during the summer seasons.
As the irrigated land of that district
Is exceedingly fertile there can be
no doubt that with the amount of
water he proposes using the produc-
ton will be great. The big farm
would supply all of the fruit and veg
etables needed in this section.
