The Poor Man.

A man that is born of his parents
Is of few days and full of microbes.
He goeth to school when a youngster
and gets the seat of his pants pad
died for something he didn't do until
he is sick at heart. He groweth up
like feed in back yard, and soon
reaches the age when he is composed
largely of feet, freckles and an appe-
tite for pie. About the time he gets
too long for his short trousers and not
long enough for long ones he goeth
away to college, learneth how to
monkey with a three dollar mandolin
and play whiskey poker. He cometh
home bigger fool than ever and
marrieth a sweet young thing whose
pa is supposed to be wealthy, but who
he subsequently ascertaineth, couldn't
buy the prize rooster at county fair.
He worrieth along from year to year
gradually acquiring offspring, until
his house resembles a Sunday school
class just before Christmas. He fret
teth through the day and lieth awake
nights trying TO tlgure out now TO
keep himself and his dependent pop
ulation from the poor house. Ef-
forts are awarded by having his dau-
ghter run away and get married and
him a nice son in law every few days
to feast at his board His son grew
up and calleth him governor and set
him back a five spot every day or
two. About the time he had ecquired
enough lucre to make it worth while
for his heirs to quarrel over, he con-
tracts a cold and is hurried away
before he has time to talk with his
family, His sons blow in his estate
on bad whiskey and plug hats, and
his wife puts the finishing touches to
his career by marrying the hired

Is a Hog q PTg2

Is hog a pig? }I-
This important question was SOL
emnIy argued out on the floor of the
senate the other day.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, who had
been talking about the bacon and
ham tariff, observed:
"Mr. President, 1t is probably true
that there is no animal so universally
distributed among all classes of work.
ing people as the pig. The probabili-
ties are that there are more individ-
uals of the wage-earning class own
ing pigs than any other stock"
"Mr. President" interrupted Sem
ator Tillman.
"Does the senator from Idaho yield
to the senator from South Carolina?"
inquired the vice president.

what Is the difference in the SEN

hog?" asked Tillman.
II rather like the term pig little
better than hog" replied Hepburn,

COMMERCIAL AIRSHIPS..

How far the science of aviation has
advanced within the past year Isl
shown by the perfection of plans by
the French Aerial league to establish
regular lines of dirigible balloons
from Paris to the principal cities Of
France. Five such vessels will be
employed for the purpose, each of
them capable of speed of 81 miles
an hour. The first vessel of the fleet
will make daily trips between Paris
and Nancy, during good weather, and
commencing early in September. The
other vessels will be added later.
This, at one step, takes the airship
out of the experimental class and
puts it in the commercial The re-
suit Of the establishment of this line
will be to extend the interest in avia-
tion to a very large extent, and there
is already more interest in the mat
ter in France than in any other coun-
try in the world. With this CONNER
cial line established it will be open
to everyone who has the price of a
fare to take a voyage through the
air. and it is a certainty that many
thousands will take advantage of the
opportunity, very large percentage
of them to become thereafter enthus-
iasts on the subject.
The rise and progress of the auto
mobile, in which France took the
leading part, promises to be followed
in its essential details by the rise and
progress of aviation. If there should
be anything like the progress and
Improvement made in the construc-
tion of airships that was seen within
the brief space of decade in the i'm
provement Of the automobile from
the first crude machines, aviaHon

THE MEN OF IRON.

I sing Of the Men of Iron,
Who in the days gone by,
Full fifty years and more ago,
Through winters numbing, drifting
snoy
And then when summers sun was
high,
Bravely built the iron highway,
over the Indian trail and byway,
over the wilder West,
over the mountain crest,
over the rivers breast.
Aye, sing of the Men of Iron,
Young men who dreamed the dreams
Old men who saw the visions grand
OF Western empire, mighty, spanned
BY engine travelled rail that CLEANS
From where the lakes and streams
abound
On and on to Puget Sound,
over prairies wide,
over the Main Divide,
on TO the oceans side.
Yes, sing of the Men of Iron;
Undying be their fame
For many a graceful, arching Bridge,
And many a conquered mountain
ridge,
And many city bears their name.
Empire Builders, they of old
Poets, prophets, princes bold;
Men of Iron-strong,
To you shall e'er belong
A glad triumphant song.

A JUST LAW.

The object of the state law requir-
ing that peddlers and solicitors be
| licensed is to protect the retail mer-
chants of this state from unfair COM
petition. A merchant pays taxes and
he contributes constantly to funds
that are for the benefit of his COM
munity. If an outside concern, with
headquarters in some large city, de-
sires to sell goods to the retail trade
III any community, that concern should
pay license. The license money
will in measure at least place the
outside concern on a par with the
home merchant who pays his taxes
in the county where he does business.
Only yesterday the present state
law requiring that peddlers and so.
licitors secure licenses was enforced
against the agent of San Francisco
concern. When called upon to pay
the amount of the license the agent
refused, but he escaped a fine by
agreeing not to canvass any more in
this state.
The refusal of this man to pay
reasonable license is confession that
he is unable to sell goods at lower
prices than can local merchants I'M
less he is given an unfair advantage
over them He could compete with
them If allowed exemption from tax
alton in the form of license while
at the same time the merchant was
to pay his regular taxes and
also a large indirect tax in the form
of contributions to worthy causes.
But there is no reason why outside
Cheap John" establishments should
be given any advantage over local
mercantile houses. If any favoritism
is to be shown it should be shown the
home merchants.
The law requiring peddlers and So
licitors to secure licenses Is a just
one and it should be enforced. OF
course the outside concerns will assert
that the licenses are prohibitive. But
the licenses are not prohibitive. Lo-
cal merchants regularly pay higher
licenses, in the form of taxes and
contributions, than those asked of the
outside concerns. Yet the local mer-
chants seem to continue in business.
But if the peddling houses really be-
lieve the licenses are prohibitive it Is
their privilege to test the law in the
courts.

which are accountable for ninety-five
per cent of all fly output in cities
the Matching of the insects can be alb
solutely prevented by the simple de-
vice of putting all manure into a
covered receptacle, and removing the
contents once week. This recepta-
Gle should be a water-tight bin or pit,
provided with a cover, so as to prevent
the ingress and egress of flies.
The additional methods demanded
are the following; Abolish all unsan-
itary outhouses. Allow no accumu,
lation of filth of any kind. Compel
people to put their garbage in covered
cans, and remove the contents at least
once a week. Compel owners of alb
attoirs to keep all refuse in covered
and remove such waste
Ii least once a week.

A WELCOME SHADOW.

The fact that representatives OF
Holland capitalists are now in Port
land for the purpose of looking. up
information with view to the estab-
lishment of business relations be-
tween that nation and the Pacific
coast after the completion of the Pa
mama canal is of more than passing
interest. The coming of these Dutch
representatives at this time fore
shadows some Of the immense bene-
fits the coast will derive when the
big canal is finally completed.
According to the announcement
made the Dutch are already at work
upon the construction of great steam
ships to be used on the run from Eu-
rope to the Pacific coast after the
canal has been completed. They
will be first class in every respect and
will handle the passenger business be-
tween Europe and the west. It is
significant that the announcement
states the liners will have no stear-
ages. Presumably no effort will be
made to stop the low class immigrants
from entering the United States via
the Atlantic seaboard. To this ar
rangement the people Of the west will
not object
But the establishment OF passenger
lines to the coast through the canal
will be of less Importance than the
placing Of freight steamers on the run
between Europe and the west and
between the Atlantic and Pacific
ports. The establishment Of freight
lines through the canal will work a
wonderful reduction in transconti-
mental freight rates. AS result the
products Of the west will have easier
access to the markets Of the world.
Pacific coast cities will be placed in
position to compete with eastern cit
es as distributing centers; the cost OF
living in the west will be reduced and
the general progress of the country
greatly hastened.
In the early completion Of the ca
nal the west is vitality interested. When
the big ditch has been completed the
Pacific coast states will come into
their own"

A SUMMER PERIL.

At this time of the year the ques-
ton of the fly is vital one and 1t
would be we'll If the general public
could be induced to guard more ZEAL
ously against the dangers arising from
this pest.
The health authorities Of New
York City estimate that about one
half Of the deaths from typhoid in the
metropolis annually are attributable
to the distribution Of the germs by
flies. says the Technical World. But,
serious as this matter is, it is Of vastly
less Importance than the destruction
o. human life, particularly that OF
young children, by the bowel COM
plants which these insects are chiefly
instrumental in spreading. 1t is reck-
oned that deaths from these latter
maladies IN New York would be re.
duced from 1000 to about 1000
year If proper precautions were taker
to prevent the breeding Of flies.
The insects will breed in ferment
ing vegetable or animal material o.
almost any kind. Garbage suits then
first-class. The maggots and chry
salids have been found in great mum
bers in rotten straw mattresses, am
ong old cotton garments. and even II
