the way that we should seek-the one
question that We should ask IS: Nhat
is best for the child? My answer 10
this is: That the institution, properly
equipped and managed, will be best
for the great majority of the children
that we have to deal with.
OF course, in many cases the lnStl-
tutional. work will be Disappointing
just as The work in many OF the best
homes is disappointing. The thing to
do is to strengthen the institution and
make it still more effective. Give
it better support; give it a larger num-
Der of ain teachers. There is
nothing wrong in the institution prop
erly administered.
The STATE OF North Carolina is
spending hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars every year in building and
the State. Every Legislature is asked
the State. Every legislature isasked
for larger and larger appropriations
to these institutions, and the parents
Of the State are urged to take their
children out Of their own natural
homes ard turn them owe to the care
Of these institutions-and yet some
people say that it is not Well to put
an orphan child into an institution
where he will be educated and indus
trially trained and fitted for citizen
ship. A strong argument. I enter
q plea Tor the orphan child. Lets
build for him. While the State is
building for her blind children, and for
her deaf and dumb children, and for
her youthful criminals, and while she
is building at the top other great in
stitutions for her more favored Chill
dren, let the church reach down to
the bottom n find the dependent
orphan child and let her build the in
stitution that will educate and train
hlm for service to God and to coun-
try and to truth. This is the work
OF Christ-and this is the work OF His
church-and let no man say that
money given to his cause is money
gone wrong.

THE ENGLISH IN AFRICA.

The English rule in Africa has been
of incalculable benefit to Africans
themselves, and indeed this is true
of the rule of most European nations
Mistakes have been made, of course,
but they have proceeded at least as
often from an unwise effort to ac-
complish too much in the way of
beneficence. as from a desire to ex-
plot the natives.
Each of the civilized nations that
has taken possession of any part of
Africa has had it's own peculiar good
qualities and its own peculiar defects
Some of them have done too much
in supervising and ordering the lives
Of the natives and in interfering with
their practices and customs The Eng
lish error, like our own under sim
liar conditions, has, IL anything, been
in the other direction. The effort
has been to avoid wherever possible
all interference with tribal customs.
even when of an immoral and repul-
sive character, and to do no more
than what is obviously necessary, such
as insistence upon keeping the peace
and preventing the spread of cattle
disease. Excellent reasons can be
advanced in favor of this policy, and
it must always be remembered that
fussy and ill-considered benevolence
Is more sure to awaken resentment
than cruelty itself; while the natives
are apt to resent deeply even things
that are obviously for their ultimate
welfare. Yet I cannot help thinking
that with caution and wisdom it
would be possible to proceed some
what farther than has yet been the
case in the direction of pushing up
ward some at least Of the East Afri-
can tribes; and this though I recog-
nize fully that many of these tribes
are Of low and brutalized type. Hav-
| ing said this much in the way of crit
icism, wish to add my tribute of un-
stinted admiration for the disinter-
ested and efficient work being done
alike IN the interest of the white man
and the black. by the government Of
| fic'als whom 7 met in East Africa
They are men in whom their country
| has every reason to feel a just pride

THE OAK OF CARApoc.

Many great men have come out of
old Warwickshre. Shakespeare Is
most famous of these. yet one who
was even greater than he lived and
wrought a mighty work a thousand
years ana more before the poet was
born. But the Stratford man was
ever curious deliver in old forgotten
facts, which he overlaid with innu-
merable fancies, and you may read
n his books a fanclful story of
Cymbeline. or Cunobeln. real king
OF ancient Britain, and true father To
Caradoc. Caradoc is the hero of
Warwickshire. although Master
Shakespeare seems not to have heard
him. II is ever the worlds loss that
he did not. for his deft fingers would
have woven marvellous, beautiful
web from the strange tangled threads
that have fallen into my clumsy
hands Yet here they lie, on this
clear Christmas morning in Warwick
shire, and though You find my handl-
work labored. you may know it is a
labor of love.
King CaradOc came out with his
train and his troop of Druidical
priests to rebuild the stronghold of
Warwick on a beautiful dawning of
May. Warwick had been founded by
the radiant Cymbeline," his father.
Ia The truly radiant year when Christ
was born; but it had been over
thrown by the Romans in the strug-
gle about the tribute-money. describ-
ed by Shakespeare himself. Cymbe-
line. from some strange whim of hap
piness, had closed that warfare with
the memorable words:
Although the victor. we submit to
Caesar.
And to the Roman empire, promising
To pay our wonted tribute.
Laud we the gods;
And let our crooked smokes climb TO
their nostrils
From our bless'd altars. Publish we
this peace
To all our subjects Set we forward.
Let
y Roman and 4 British ensign wave
Friendly together. So through Lud's
town march:
And in the temple of great Jupiter
our peace Wen ratify; seal it with
feasts.
Set on there.

on this subject and so do the sections
of the Willamette valley where trac-
ton lines have been established.
For the close development of any
country and for the up building OF
any city to anything like metropoli-
tan proportions electricity is an In
despensible element city must
have traction lines and it must have
power for lighting and manufactur-
ing purposes. without ample cleo
tricity and traction facilities no city
can grow beyond rural proportions.
The growth of Pendleton has been
blocked temporarily by the lack Of
facilities that have been enjoyed by
walla walla and some other small
cities of the northwest. Otherwise
this place would now be a city of 49,
900 or 10000 people.
In a geographical sense Pendleton
is one of the most favored cities of
the west 1t has natural advantages
far superior to those of Walla walla.
This is a railroad center while walla
Walla is but branch line town and
can never be anything more.
Then Pendleton has a far larger
tributary country than has the Gar
rem City. Pendleton is not only the
commercial center of Umatilla county
but of eastern Oregon. To the south
and to the west there are great regi-
ons awaiting development. In the ir-
rigated sections of the west end set
tlement is already underway and the
future will reveal a population of
which few people now dream.
Give Pendleton proper traction IA
cilities and this city will be forever
the commercial hub of this mighty
empire. Give it the requisite electri-
cal power and this city will become the
best manufacturing town of the north
west With proper power and proper
traction facilities Pendleton will be to
eastern Oregon what Spokane is to
Washington Electricity is the breath
of life to any community. 1t is the
great elixir that transforms as by
magic barren wastes into fertile fields
and shambling towns into bustling
cities. Pendleton needs some of this
golden elixir right now.

a FRENCH "RoULETTE."

Do you know what a roulette is? In
general, it means a gypsy caravan,
but its scope has become enlarged and
theatrical company Some of the best
comedians in the whole world have
been evolved from the roulette That
was Perinot's beginning.
His roulette consisted of three long
covered wagons. The rear wagon
contained such rude and trifling stage
accessories as Perinot's plays demand
ed. But Perinot. like Thespis in his
cart. did not require much scenery. In
his last wagon rode the Poillon broth

In the next wagon rode. with the
bedding and trunks, that excellent
woman, Madame Toutant. with her
husband and her son. Auguste. Mad
anne Toutant was stout and large
WASTED. but a capable actress. The
audiences laughed at her when she
waddled on the stage, but before long
her comic antics made them forge
her stout figure and double chin, and
they saw only her fine eyes and heard
only her rich voice. Toutant himself
was a dull respectable man. and Au,
guste the son was as near nothing a:
could be well imagined. He was
beautiful beyond expression, perfect
ly obedient to Madame Toutant as in
deed was Toutant himself, and his
beauty was an excellent foil to the
fascinating ugliness of Perinot.

THE TRACTION ENTERPRISE.

There is hope ahead for Pendleton.
There has always been, but just now
the prospects seem brighter than they
have been for many months. If the
Washington & Oregon traction COM
pany succeeds in carrying out the
work it has in view this city will
soon be out of the valley of depres-
sion and pessimism and will be rolling
swiftly along the highway of prosper
ity and progress.
Last night the representatives of
the traction company explained to To-
cal people their plans regarding this
city. The company has a power site
capable of developing eight thousand
horse power. They want to develop
that power and sell the electricity
they will generate. Pendleton affords
them a desirable market. So they
want to establish a traction system
with this city as their base and also
supply this city with electricity for
power and lighting purposes.
Though the original hackers of the
Washington & oregon company are
walla Walla men yet the company
wants to come here and their reasons
for this are plausible. Walla Walla
has been unfriendly to them. Then
they will not have enough power to
Justify trying to serve both Walla
walla and Pendleton. So they would
rather come here and leave Walla
walla to the Northwestern gas & cleo
tric company After they go into bus
iness here they will quite naturally
want this city to grow and prosper
and they will work to that end. They
outset and ultimately to run electric
lines out in various directions from
this city.
In asking some financial backing
from the people of this city the trac-
ton people are plainly within their
rights. Their enterprise will mean
everything to Pendleton and local
people may well afford to assist In
financing it. As a matter of fact To-
cal realty owners and capitalists
would not be going amiss if they fl
nanced the enterprise entirely or al
least took a controlling interest! How
ever the company poses as willing to
put up most Of the money and like
wise willing to make their plans con-
form to the wishes Of the people OF
this city.
If when put to the test the Wash
ington e. Oregon company shows Itself
as cordial towards Pendleton as its
representatives aver then there Should
be no hesitancy. The people of Pen.
dleton should get behind the enter.
prise and assist with their influence
and their money in making It sue.

Death OF the World

The age of the earth is placed by
some ut 100000, 900 years by others
100, 900, 600 years, and still others of
later time place it at 10000, 900 years
None place it lower than 10000, 900,
knowing what processes have been gone
through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ so much from the earth is that
they are in so much earlier or later
stages of existence. The earth must
become old
Newton surmise1, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would lose all its water and become
perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct
As the earth keeps cooling it will be-
come porous, and great cavities will
be formed i'll the interior, which will
take i'll the water 1t is estimated that
this process is now i'll progress, so far
that the water diminishes at the rate of

At this rate in G,OOO,O 600 years the
