DUKE AND PLUMBER.

Samantha Arabella Luke has gone
abroad and caught duke-a noble
man of gilded ease, who has stnd-
ard blood disease. She'll build again
his stately halls, and pay for paper
ing the wallis she'll straighten up his
park and grounds, and buy him nags
to ride to hounds; she'll tear the
checks from out her book, to pay the
butler and the cook, whose wages
have been in arrears for maybe twen-
ty-seven years. In fifty ways shel
spend the scads, the good old rocks
that were her rays; and all the mobiles
in the land will greet her with the
arctic hand, and snub her in her hus-
bands lair, and pass her up with stony
stare. And ere a year has run 1ts
course, the duke will hustle for dl-
vorce. and Arabella's tears will drop
upon the marble floors, kerflop! Sa-
mantha's cousin, Mary Ann, has
hooked a plumber man, a gent OF in
dustry and peace, whose face Is Of
ten black with grease. They dwell
together in a cot, surrounded by a
garden plot, and there she raises
beans and tripe, while h is fixing
valve and pipe. He takes his money
like a man, and hands it DER to Mary
Ann. and she Is sailing down his wage
where it will help them in old age
o reader, who has made a fluke? Sa-
mantha with her palld duke, or fat
and sassy Mary Ann, who gathered in

sALENIs EXPERIENCE.

It often occurs that few big prop
-erty owners of city through being
ultra conservative unintentonally
block the progress Of their town. For
years Salem was a place of this sort.
Two wealthy and Influential men were
able to block improvements and they
did so. They did not want street paw
ing and other betterments because
they looked upon the proposition as ex-
travagant. salem's streets went mud
dy for years because of those men.
The city still has wreatched water
system and poor hotel service. These
things have made hundreds Of people
advocate the proposition Of moving
the capital to Portland. But Salem
at last has awakened to the situation
and is now making improvements
rapidly. It knows that If It holds the
capital the town must do its duty and
the progressive men have been suffi-
GENTLY numerous Of late to dominate
affairs.
Other towns may well profit by Sa-
Ien's experience. Money expended
upon needed and permanent improve

GUIDE cHILDREN,s DREAMS.

On parents an added responsibility
Is imposed. Childhood is the most
impressionable, the most suggestible
period of life. 1t is to experiences of
childhood that the greater number of
dream provoked maladies are due. 1t
was in childhood, for example, that
the young man with the headaches,
depression, dizziness, cold and uncon-
trollable fears sustained the shocks
that were the starting points of his
terrible dreams of after life. See to
1t, therefore, that the environment of
yonr child leaves only pleasurable
impressions on his plastic mind. Keep
the gruesome, the morbid, the de-
pressing out of his life. Choose care
fully not only his companions. but the
books you read 10 him, the stories you
tell him, and even the pictures you
hand on his bedroom wall.
at is certain" says an excellent
authority, that the impressions
which surround the sleeper and pre-
cede sleep ought to be of a nature
conducive to a cheerful condition Of
the mind when it lapses into rest, as
well as when it awakens to full con-
seriousness. Thus greater care should
be exercised in the choice Of situa-
tion and adornment of our sleeping
apartments than is usual even
among the most thoughtful Of us;
for it is fair to suppose that the last
waking impressions and thoughts Oft
en- create more lasting impressions
than is commonly recognized"
And, when You have taken every
precaution, question the child occa-
sionally about his dreams. From
their nature and frequency you may
gain hints saving him from trouble
and you from much unhappiness in
later years.-Success.

DISAPPEARING BLOND.

If we are to believe the scientists
the brunettes will inherit the earth
and the blonds will dwindle away. All
over the world, they tell us the bru-
nettes are increasing faster than their
light haired and blue-eyed sisters and
brothers. Even in Germany. the land
of the Saxon, the old Teutonic face
is changing and the flaxon poll is CIV
ing place to the brown head. Tn Eng
land we hear the same complaint, and
in France the old Frankish blond is
so rare that light hair and eyes are
at a decided premium. The blond
is dwindling so fast that you can ac-
tually see him dwindle.
Now, according to DR.. Charles f.
Woodruff surgeon and major in the
United States army, the same thing
is happening in America DR.. Wood
ruff states that the blonds are losing
out in the struggle for existence and
are filling our jails and almshouses.
He attributes this deplorable fact to
an excess of sunlight, which the SEN
sitive blond cannot endure.
The few remaining blonds in the
world who read these lines will doubt
less regret that they were not born
in the Dark Ages where there was "no
excess of sunlight But we do not
despair, for we believe that American
ingenuity, once embarked on a con-
servative policy, will manage to pre-
serve this last great resource of ours

OPTIMISM.

The following from a San Francisc;
paper contains some advice that /,
not bad:
Yesterday there stood in this office
d man who has made real Amerl.
can success.
He began without any great advan.
tages, no fortune. His equipment was
courage ana health. Today he has al
that a man needs, a fortune sufficient
tC educate his children and to pro-
vide for the future, a good family
and a good name.
At the end of casual conversation
on business and good work this man
said as he was about to go:
The fact is that man ought to
be optimistic about everything in tnis
world except himself"
We lose no time in repeating this
statement to the readers of this news
paper.
Americans think, talk and dream
about success and constantly work
for it.
In those few words, "be optimistic
about everything except yourself"
there is more of the secret of success
than in many volumes of platitudes
by very rich men telling how they
got ahead.
Nine men out of ten waste their
time and throw away their chances
thinking about themselves, praisins
themselves to themselves, and firmly
believing that the rest of the world
is against them.
Optimism, which comes from the
Latin word "optimus," meaning best,
is a great force. Optimism means
hope, and it develops courage.
But don't apply your optimism to
yourself Don't believe that you are
"the best" or anywhere near the
best Remember that the brain with
which you think is a government put
in charge of your body. The body
ia full of all sorts of inherited weak
nesses-laziness, greed, procrastina
ton, self-conceit.
Believe in other people, without
making it possible for mistaken be-
lief to hurt you too much Believe in
the world, in the future, and in the
present.
Watch yourself, criticise yourself,
blame yourself, and nobody else, when
things go wrong.
In that way you will find the short
road to success.
Be optimistic about everything ex-
cept yourself.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

All you have to do to make a man
insist upon eating anything is to tell
him it isn't good for him.
The reason lots of girls want to
get married is so they can have the
excitement of being engaged.
There's hardly any way man can
make himself more unpopular than
deliberately trying to win popularity.
Extra heavy underwear only seems
to increase the chill when man has
to explain to his wife something about
his conduct he can't explain.

CLOSE REGULATION BETTER.

When he was the commander OF
the department of Texas in 1908 Cen
eral Frederick D. Grant made a re-
port in which he spoke thusly of the
canteen system
aside from other recreation fea-
lures of garrison life, the canteen,
which is the enlisted mans clubroom,
is a protected circle into which no vice
or degradation can enter"
1t would seem from this that Cen
eral Grant, though an abstainer him
self, is a champion of the army can
teen system in preference to the nu-
rnerous dives that now flourish ar
ound army posts. Nearly all army
Officers are advocates of the canteen
system and they have gotten their
ideas upon this subject from long
dealing with the enlisted men of the
army. They know that if soldiers are
not allowed some recreation at the
posts they will go away and engage
In debaucheries that will be far worse
for them both physically and finan-
cially.
Here we have a situation that Is
somewhat similar. If Pendleton does
not maintain orderly, closely regulat-
ed saloons for the use of shepherd
ers, harvesters, buckaroos and other
transient men who work in this coun-
try those men will either spend their
money in local "blind pigs" that are
beyond the law or they will go to
Walla Walla, get drunk and be rob-
bed by the dive keepers of that town,
for Walla Walla does not have well
regulated saloons.
In preference to the present state
of affairs it would be better for Pen
dleton to have a half dozen well con-
Quoted saloons, run by men of some
character and who will be forced to
run their places upon a decent basis

IN DAYS TO COME.

When folks in swiftly gliding ships,
About the heavens fly,
Our front door will be on the roof
And open toward the sky;
And friends can drop in any time
When they are passing by.
Then everybody will engage
In friendly chat; no doubt,
Nor dare dispute nor disagree
While fitting all about,
Because, you know, twill never do
To have falling out.
The airships for while. perhaps,
VIII scare US just a bit,
But when we see how those who will
Athwart the azure fit,
Well overcome our fears and be
Quite carried way with it.
