EnBERr HUBBARD ON HORSES.

Ebert Hubbard shows his kindly
sentiments for the horse In the fol-
lowing letter which he recently wrote
to James II. Angel, editor of Dumb
Animals. Mr.. Hubbard said;
The Roycroft Fraternity,
East Aurora, Erie County, N. Y.
June 6, 1908
Dear Mr.. Angell;-I wish you would
send me few back numbers of your
publication, Our Dumb Animals, 1
want to clip some of the things that
you have said in behalf of the horses,
and how they suffer in time of war.
1t seems to me that you are the
only man in the world who has ever
lifted up a voice for horses in war.
They get no glory nor pension, but
often you will hear of men making
the boast as to the number of horses
that have been shot under them,
without a thought of pity for the
horses.
If man is under obligations to give
his fellow men a square deal, l am
inclined to think that he should give
square deal to this servant that
does so much for us, lives and wears
out his life for our benefit.
Therefore, with your permission, 1
am going to reprint some of the many
choice things that you say along this
line.
With love and blessings ever, / am
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) ELBERT HUBBARD.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
a BURDEN 10 ME.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
1V1 St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
GAS l have found Peruna blessing
for severe case OF catarrh of the head
and throat which I suffered from for
number Of years, l am only too pleased
to give ii my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that was usually
troubled with headache, and although
tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
"However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was q
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged kept on until l was com.
pIeteIy cured in months time, and
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet

THE MARATHON RACE.

And then the clerk of the course,
turning to the starter, said, "All is
ready" whereupon the starter. an Of
ficer of the Greek army, gave out
the conditions OF the race, first in
French and then in Greek, and, hav-
ing done that, paused, and barring his
head addressed his own countrymen
anew:
"The Greeks had this run inserted
in the Olympic list" he said, "to
commemorate the historic feat of the
messenger who carried the news of
the great victory of Marathon to the
anxious walters at Athens.
(Which of us does not know 1t by
heart? But it may be wise to re-
hearse 1t here. Know then that when
the valiant Greeks had swept the field
of Marathon their first thought was
to get the news home. They sought
a fleet courier, and found him in the
person Of a warrior who had fought
all day against the invading Persi-
ans and who was even then painting
from his exertions. This one was only
too proud to be chosen messenger
indeed, who would not be?-and at
the word he was off, only discumber-
ing himself of his heavier armor. His
great run was made with but one
brief stop for refreshment on the
way He reached the market place
of Athens in an incredibly short time,
turned to the multitude. spoke the
one word, Victory and dropped
dead"
Here the officers voice choked, and
for a moment he could not go on,
and there were tears in the eyes of
many others also And then ne went
on, "And so may it be with us of

A MERIToRIoUs ORDINANCE.

Seldom is an ordinance drafted that
has more real merit than the one
providing for the regulation Of the
dairy business in Pendleton. This
ordinance as it now reads will do
some good for the people of the city
It passed by the council and properly
enforced.
The ordinance strictly prohibits the
sale of milk from tuberculosis cows.
II requires that dairymen take proper
sanitary care of utensils in which
milk is kept or delivered and it bars
them from leaving their own cans or
bottles at homes where contagious
disease prevails.
Furthermore, the ordinance fixes a
standard of quality for the milk and
cream that is sold within the city.
Cream must contain not less than IS
per cent Of butter fat while milk
must measure up to at least 81 per
cent under the Babcock test. 1t is
held that milk that does not meas
ure up to this standard has either
been watered or has been separated
from its cream.
The people Of the city are entitled
to the passage of this ordinance. They
are entitled to receive wholesome
milk from dairymen and undoubted-
ly the most effective way of obtain
ing it is by means of an ordinance
such as has been drafted by Drs. Cole
and Mcclure.
1t may be that the passage Of the
ordinance will work a hardship on
some dairymen. Loss for someone Is
involved in every reform whether
great or small. But it is hard to con-
ceive how an honest dairyman could
object to any Of the things contained
in the ordinance now UP. The East
Oregonian does not believe they will.
They are good citizens and will prob
ably welcome the ordinance as much
a. other people.
But whether the dairymen like 1t
or not the ordinance proposed is
step in the right direction. It is per-
fectly right and proper for the coun-
Gil to handle such a subject and the
aldermen will not go wrong in pass
ing the ordinance that has been draft
ed or one similar to 1t.

CLOCKS THAT KEEP EXACT
Time

Scientific men are busily engaged
in the effort to produce a clock which
shall keep exact time. So far, the
principal competitors for the primacy
have been constructors of clocks OF
the observatories of Greenwich, Ley
den, Berlin and Washington. The
clock mounted in the Greenwich OBJ
servatory in 1850 for the measure
of time in astronomical observations
varied from absolute accuracy only
one-seventh of a second in "a hours,
but the beginning of the present GEN.
tury another clock was Installed there
which varies only one-twelfth of a
second in a day. 1t is lately stated
in a dispute on the subject that the
clocks of Berlin and Leyden are
even more exact, their variation being
only one-fortieth to one-fiftieth of
second in "a hours.
But according to Professor Eich-
elberger. the palm must be awarded
to the clock in the naval observatory
at Washington, which he says
varies only one-sixtieth of a second
in "a hours. To this statement the
Greenwich observer answers that the
comparison Is not we'll made; that
az the present time clocks may be
made to go with perfect theoretical
accuracy If all the conditions of at
mosphere were uniform. Small vari-
stions of the air, Of pressure, Of tenn
perature and humidity, produce vari-
ations in clocks the more noticeable
the more delicate and exact the clocks
are, so that to preserve perfect ex-
actltude in the movement of the ma
chinery, which means the measure
ment Of time, 1t is necessary to resort
to articles outside Of the clockwork.
Thus, for example, the new clock
at Greenwich is installed in place
where the temperature varies only
five degrees in all the year and is
built with an automatic mechanism
to correct the atmospheric pressure,
SO that 1t is said to maintain as cor
rect time as the clock in the naval
observatory at Washington.-Port-
land Journal.

up 10 January Is, 1908. according to
a bulletin of the departments of COM
merce and labor, 80 disputes became
subject to investigation, and in 2S
cases strikes were averted or ended.
The settlement Of the most recent
trouble on the Canadian Pacific is
additional proof that the law works
we'll. The most valuable feature Of
the act is claimed TO be that it es-
tablished a regular form OF procedure
for bringing parties together before a
strike or lockout is declared.
So far as can be judged from the
experience of the past year, the law
has accomplished the main purpose
for which it was enacted-the pre-
vention of strikes and lockouts in
public service industries, 1t has not
adversely affected the condition of
the workingmen or of the industries
where 1t has been applied. No en-
ployer complained that the law had
hampered his business, and It is not
reputed to have influenced prices.
There is some opposition to the act
among the unions to which it is most
directly applied but as the, findings
of the boards are not final it is evil
dent that no possible harm can be
done by investigation of industrial
disputes with Cancellation and the
averting of strikes the ends in view.
Investigation, arbitration, concilia-
tion-these are the forces operating
in all civilized countries to bring en-
ployer and laborer together on a fair
basis and the success of the Cana
dian act marks another advance in
the right directlon.-Salt Lake Her

SPIRIT OF CANCELLATION.

The Canadian concIllation board
has succeeded in settling the trouble
on the Canadian Pacific and the shop
men return to work, having gained in
fact their object after a dispute last
ing several weeks. The report Of the
board was made public at Winnipeg
Monday.
On March %, 1907, the Canadian
industrial disputes investigation act
went into effect. The law provides
for boards of conciliatlon and investi-
cation, appointed for each dispute.
The industries to which the law ap-
plies are those known as public utili-
ties, such as steam and electric rail-
ways, power and lighting plants and
similar industries. and may be extend
ed TO coal mines.

THEY'RE NOT TO BE BOSSED.

Mr. Samuel Gompers appears to de-
sire to commit the vote of organized
labor to one Of the presidential can
dldates. Quite aside from the merits
of the presidential candidates, it is
pretty safe to predict that Mr.. Com
pers will not be able to deliver the
vote on election day, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
As organized labor is constituted
today it is an utter impossibility for
any one man or group of men to COM
pei it to vote in a certain manner.
There never has been serfdom in
labor's ranks in this country, and
there never should be.
When any one man assumes the Of
flee of dictator to organized labor,
and attempts to swing the laboring
mems votes like an ordinary boss,
that man Is bound to antagoniZe Tor
ubionlsm many people who otherwise
are prepared to deal fairly with it,
and to invite dissenslon in the ranks
of the men he pretends to represent.
Working men can be trusted to be
the first to resent the pleading to
republicans democrats. prohibitionists
or the Independents. 1t is not a ques-
ton of party, but of principle.

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.

In one of the last articles written
by Joel Chandler Harris for his mag
azine, appeared the following bit Of
philosophy characteristic Of the dis
tinguished writer:
Let it not be supposed by those who
imagine that they are unfortunate,
that the colossal fortunes heaped up
by modern business methods will add
to the happiness of those who have
allowed greed to have its way All
the gold in the world will not buy an
ounce of contentment. Its purchas-
ing power ceases where happiness is
concerned. These statements are
platitudes, of course, but it is we'll
once in awhile to shake live and
wriggling platitude in the face of the
public if only to reassure some Of
the hopeless ones that God is in his
world and that all is well.-The

there is a beautiful shadow effect. One
neat design Is a stork standing amid
cat-tails and pond lilies. another is
punches Of grapes and leaves, and the
odd little figures Of dancing Dutch

good shadowgraphs. A handsome
