Carryinq q Watch.

After carrying watch for thirty years l have just learned something new in watch lore" said the city sales man. "I don't know whether this is true or not. but an old watchma ker told ni-. fought watch of him the other day. It was cheap watch. He said:
 What pocket are you going to car ey your watch in-the right or left:'
 " told him the left
 Then said he, I will regulate 1t for the left
 "I asked what difference 1t made. and he declared that watch runs faster on the left side than on the Tight, so to keep it from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering. but in watches of cheap make like mine it is very noticeable. l asked for scientific reason for this variation. He could give none: said he only knew 1t was true, and then. whether he was faking or not, be pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket."-New York Sun.

THE PROFITS TO SHARE.

o. the days gone by! o, the days gone
by,
The apples in the orchard and the
pathway through the rye;
The chirrup Of the robin and the
whistle of the quail
As he piped across the meadows
sweet as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover
and the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over
in the days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked
feet were tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-foot-
ed cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless or
the truant's wayward cry,
And the splashes of the swimmer, in
the days gone by!
o, the days gone by! o, the days gone
by
The music of the laughing lip. the
luster of the eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and AL
addin's magic ring;
The simple soul reposing, glad belief
in every thing
For life was like a story, holding nel-
ther sob nor sigh,
In the golden, olden glory of the days
gone by.

INHERITANCE TAXATION.

In the state of Washington the in
heritance tax collected during the
month Of June amounted to $170S3.
For the first six months of the pres

Should this rate be continued during
the remainer Of the year Washington
will have collected over 100000

TITLES AND RICHES.

In this part of the planet it has be-
come modish not to spend money
Parallelly, in Europe the taste for
titles has declined. Everybody, ev-
erywhere, is becoming democratic. On
both sides of the water 1t is smart to
be close-fisted and open-armed. One
of the landed gentry-landed that is,
in the panic-declared that fashion
able penury was due to an exhaustion
of capital which, beginning with him,
had extended all over the world. I'm
less he was wrong, he may have Seen
right. But, personally, in common
with other philosophers, we attribute
it to sun spots. Similarly there are
psychologists who hold that the in
creasing democracy of Europe has
been induced first by the bike, then
by the bubble. We ascribe it to the
American heiress, or, more exactly,
to those daughters of the rich that
have been catalogued as foreign prin-
cesses.
These young women, being to our
manner born, are generally lacking in
reverence, particularly for rank. The
majority would not marry a prince
for love or for money. But they do
and will marry for an entree to the
modern Olympus which the heights
Of European society comprise. And,
after all, why not? Life on these al
titudes sets them in relief, lifts them
from the blank anonymity to which

IF \ WILL THERE'S A WAY.

The East Oregonian has been ac-
cused of being unfriendly to the city
administration because at times it has
offered slight criticisms of the course
taken with respect to public improves
ments. But this paper is not un-
friendly to the mayor or to the coun-
cilmen. If it has criticised them for
seeming neglect it has also offered
praise for work that has been done.
In the future it will follow the same
course for this paper is neither the foe
of the administration nor an adula-
tory friend
That the mayor and councilmen
have difficult work to do all admit,
Owing to the state of the city's fl
nances it is hard to carry out all the
Improvements that are really needed.
To have established a park system this
year may have been an impossibility.
But the East Oregonian believes that
more could have been done along that
line than has been accomplished. 1t
believes that title could have been Sc
cured to the old north side cemetery
tract and general plans drawn for
park system even though but little
money is available for actual improve
ments. With the $500 in the park
fund it seems that at least a start
could have been made towards pro-
viding for outdoor recreation places.
II would be worth much to have work
actually underway even though neces-
sary to move slowly.
At this time Pendleton suffers be-
cause it has no parks. Almost every
day the town is criticised by visitors
and resident alike because it is with
out these conveniences. People look
at the levee and exclaim what beau
tiful walk or driveway 1t could be
made. They look at the Walters is
land and wonder why it is not inn
proved for park purposes. They look
a; the north side cemetery and are
filled with disgust because bustling
city like Pendleton permits such a
condition IN continua
This is the state of affairs. How to
remedy it may be difficult problem.
But the welfare Of this city demands
that the work be done and done just
ac quickly as possible. The East Ore
gonian believes that If the work is un-
dertaken with energy and determina-
ton the city will have a park system
before the close Of another year.
