CURED BY BEE STING.

Literary Digest says: That rheuma-
tlsm may be relieved by injection Of
bee poison administered by the bees
themselves through the instruments
provided by nature for that purpose,
has long been known, although not
many physicians have been radical
enough TO use the method in their cur
rent practice. A recent Inquiry into
the origin of this old "bee cure" and
its actual results confirms the popular
tradition OF its efficacy, Says Dr.. A,
Cartaz. writing in La Nature (Paris):
1T Is popular belief in many parts
of France and other countries that the
stings of bees constitute a sovereign
remedy against rheumatism of the
joints This belief, which, as we shall
see. Is justified by authentic facts.
probably arose from some accident, A
beekeeper. or a simple peasant, may
have been stung by bee and have
noted the disappearance of a rheu-
matte pain of long standing, Such was
the case of Mr. De GasjariE. as re.

affiiction of the joints had caused

this happy result, the victim caused
himself to be stung on other parts of
the body, and the rheumatism was
cured"
1t would be difficult to ascertain at

times. and it is probable that the ac-

LINcOLN'S CENTENARY.

Today is ,the centenary of Abraham
Lincoln's birth. The mnrtyred presl-
dents character Is one the American
people find pleasure in dwelling upon.
From humble beginnings. Lincoln
reached to the greatest station in
life. His biographer, F. T. Hill. re.
cords how Lincoln was not blessed
with surroundings other than those Of
austerity, yet what is remarkable, he
made of those opportunities the step
ping stones to greatness.
Mr.. Hill says Lincoln's development
is not infrequently described as though
it were the progressive triumph of q
man-something more than moral
who, though acquainted with poverty
and misfortune In his childhood, took
advantage of his first opportunity In
life, and whose career therefore stead
lily spelled success. This man of fixed
purpose and inlomitable will undoubt-
edly makes stirring appeal as hero,
but he has nothing In common with
those who, after repeated attempts to
find Themselves" discover failure
staring them in the face. AS matter
of fact. however, the whole Of Lincolns 8
early manhood Is 4 record of failure
from a material point of view. and few
men have less to show for their first
years of effort than he had at the age
of "a.
AS field laborer he was fur from
success. for he took no Interest in
farming and never cared to work at 1t
a day longer than was necessary to
put himself In funds Moreover, his
employers looked decidedly askance at
the "hired man" who read as he fol-
lowed the pillow. even II his burrows
did not run true. AS clerk in Offutts
country store he did little better, and
beyond the fact that he served the
customers conscientiously with full
weights and measures, he did nothing
to prove himself Indispensable. Neith-
er his heart nor his mind was in the
work and he watched the business
wink out" with no perceptible regret
Then he sought glory at the cannon's
mouth in the farcial Black Hawk
war" where he never saw an Indian,
and where the bloody encounters with
the mosquitoes" and the fierce charges
on the wild onions" were the most
glorious episodes OF the campaign.
Then, somewhat as a forlorn hope, he
turned TO political life, presenting him.
self as a candidate for the legislature,
only to meet with defeat and to find
himself, at the end Of several prof1tless
months, utterly destitute of resources.
This was not very promising rec
ord for man of %. He had, 1T is true,
all this time more or less vague Idea
of becoming a lawyer, but he had not
pursued it Systematically and he fin
ally irifted back into the grocery bus
mess. this time as part proprietor Of a
store bought on credit without much
prospect of making the venture pay.
Indeed, the manner In which he and
his associate. Berry. conducted the en-
terprise almost insured its failure. for
the senior member Of the firm idled
away his days In dissolute living,
while the junior member studied law,
and between them their slender stock
of merchandise disappeared, Berry
drinking and Lincoln eating 1t up.

LINcoLN,s EAvoRlTE POEM.


LINcoLN's FAvoRlTE POEM.
The tributes TO the memory of Lin
coin would be incomplete without s
reproduction of his favorite poem, q:
follows:
oh, why should the spirit of morta
be proud?
Like a swift fleeting meteor. fasI
flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning. break OF
the wave,
He passeth from life to his rest ir
the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be
laid:
And the young men and the old, and
the low and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie
The infant and mother attended and
loved;
The mother that infants afrectior
who proved,
The husband that mother and infant
who blessed,
Each all are away to their dwellings
to rest.
The hand of the king that the sceptr,
hath borne;
The brow of the priest that the mitre
hath worn;
The eye of the sage and the heart
Of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths OF
the grave,
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW
and to reap,
The herdsman, who climbed with his
goats up the steep;
The beggar who wandered In search
of his bread.
Have faded away like the grass that
we tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower
or the weed
That withers away to let others
succeed,
So the multitude comes, even those
we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often
been told.
For we are the same our fathers have
been;
We see the same sights our fathers
have seen;
We drink the same stream and view
the same sun.
And run the same course our fathers
have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our
fathers did think,
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers did shrink;
To the life we are clinging they also
would cling;
But it speeds from us all, like a bird
on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot
unfold
They scorned, but the heart OF the
naughty Is cold;
They grlcved. but no wall from their
slumbers will come;
They joyed. but the tongue OF their
gladness Is dumb.
They died, aye, they died, we things
that are now,
That talk on the turf that lies over
their brow
And make In their dwellings trans
lent abode.
Meet the things that they met on the
pilgrimage road.
Yea! hope and dependency, pleasure
and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and
rain;
And the smile and the tear, and the
song and the dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge
upon surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, It's the
draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health to the
paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon TO the bier and
the shroud.
Oh, why should the spirit OF mortal
be proud?

All Must Stand Trial

The Portland Telegram says that J.
II. Raley, Pendleton attorney, and
his codefendants in the indictments
brought against him by the United
States grand jury, will have to stapd
trial on the counts as set forth in the
original document filed by the inquisi-
torial tribunal. Judge Wolverton
overruled the demurrer to the indict-
ments. In doing SO he reviewed the
arguments advanced by the attorneys
for Haley and Grow, to the effect that
the charges of the government were
not sufficiently specific and held out
that the language of the accusations
defined clearly enough for all legal
purposes what ofenses would be
presented on trial. These cases are
the result of what is alleged by the
government prosecutor to have been a
conspiracy on the part of the defen-
dants to improperly acquire some of
the land that was thrown open tor
entry at the time che Umatilla reser-
walton allotment was made.

$4,000 ACRES TIMBER BURNED
Awful Loss to One of WashingtOns
Principal Industries.

Approximately $4,000 acres of tim
Ter land was burned over by forest
fires during the last summer in West
ern Washington. according to fires
compiled by d. P. Simohs, chief fire
warden of the Washington Forest Fire
association OF the 80. 918 acres | ,029
were covered with green timber. 1t
is estimated that total of 81 ,450, 900
feet OF timber were destroyed.
Mr.. Simons places the loss of saw.
mills, logging equipment and down
timber at approximately 100000.
Tie last summer was the most dis
as'rous in years in Western Washing
ton. Practically no rain fell from the
first of June to September 20, and in.
stead of calling in the FIRE fighters
early in September, the association
was compelled to maintain patrols
until the recent rains.
The cost to the association of fight
ing forest fires was $4,000. In ad-
dition to this the state fire warden
had $23. 900 available for the use of
his forces.

The poultry fanciers of Umatilla
and Morrow counties will have a
chicken show and Pendleton will be
the scene of the first event, which is
set for some time in January, says the
Tribune.
This is the result of meeting of a
few of the poultrymen held in the
Commercial club rooms Thursday
evening at which much enthusiasm
was manifested, and permanent or
ganization effected. D. G. GuIdane
was elected president, Edgar F. Aver
i'll secretary and R. Alexander treas
urer. The dues for membership were
placed at one dollar and every resi-
dent of the two counties will be elig-
ible to mem bership whether chick
en- breeder or not. but special offers
will be made to interest all the chick
en- men in the two counties. The name
of the organization is to be the Una
tilla-Murrow county poultry associa-
tiop.
An effort will be made to have a
three days. show in that city in Jan
uary and premium list will be put
out offering prizes large enough to
attract chicken fanciers from all over
the country.

MUST PUT ON A LOCAL TRAIN
Railroad Commission Orders Manda-
mus Proceedings

District Attorney g. w. Phelps of
Umatilla county, has been instructed
oy the railroad commission to institute
mandamus proceedings in the circuit
court for umatilla county to compel
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company to comply with the order of
the railroad commission directing that
the local train service between Port
land and Pendleton that has been
abandoned be again inaugurated.
The instructions were given the
district attorney as the result of the
agitation for better service started by
Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton,
and because the commission believes
that the railroad company has not
ceen maintaining service that is
adequate and in compliance with the
order of the commission.
The order referred to was made by
the commission in September 1907.
In compliance with it the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company put
on local train between Portland and
PeDdleton but the service was changed
May 16, 1909, and the train operated
as an interstate train between Salt
Lake City and Portland.
The commission does not consider
that the present service complies with
the order," reads the instructions
mailed to Mr.. Phelps, "and as there
have bean numerous complaints COM
ing to us the commission has decided
that proceedings in mandamus be in
stltuted as perhaps the most expedi-
tious method of remedying the situa,
tion."
The East Oregonian says the Pen
dleton-P Portland local train is to be
re established, probably next Monday
morning aud before the fifteenth of
this month, sure. This was the state
ment made by Arthur q. Spence. at
torney for the o. II. & N. company.
Spencer says the arrangements for
this train were made several days ago
and that the state railroad commission
was aware of this fact when 1t issued
instructions to District Attorney
Phelps. Saturday, to bring maudamus
proceedings to compel the railroad
company to put on this train.
