All, SWEET is TIpPERARY.

All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When the hawthorne's winter than
the snow,
When the feather folk assemble, and
the air is all a-tremble
With their singing and their winging
to and fro;
When queenly SLEEVE -no-mon puts her
verdant vesture on,
And smiles to hear the news, the
breezes bring;
When the sun begins to glance on the
rivulets that dance
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring.
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring.
time of the year,
When the mists are rising from the
lea,
When the Golden Vale is smiling with
a beauty all beguiling
And the SUR goes grooming to the
sea,
When the shadows and the showers
only multiply the flowers
That the lavish hand or May will
fling;
When in unfrequented ways fairy
music softly plays
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring!
All. sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When life like tho year IS young,
When the soul is just awakening like
lily blossom breaking,
And love words lingor on the
tongue;
When the blue of Irish skies is the
blue of Irish eyes,
And love dreams cluster and cling
Round the heart and round the brain,
half of pleasuse. half of pain
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring!

At THE PLAY.

Amid a multitude we sat alone.
BY friendly-lights screened from
wondering gaze;
Hand slasped in hand we watched
the stage ablaZe
With rainbow flres-saw Richard 10
his throne
Stride through his kinsmen's blood, to
lose at last
Throne, life and soul. What tragic
forces swayed.
This world in counterfeit. Yet un-
dismayed,
Half in a dream we saw the scenes
shift past:
And then the curtain fell upon the
strife
We turned and smiled into each
others eyes
With unchecked love-as under
broader skies.
When this strange pagenantry
which we call life
Has fitted by. somewhere we two
shall sit
Together, smiling at the close of it.

PAIINiY DAYS.

My grandpa tells of palmy days
When he had wealth and power;
When life was like the suns brigh
rays,
And happy every NOur.
He loves to dwell upon the past.
When all he knew was joy,
Oh, pity that it did not last
Until l was boy.
And grandpa's son will often tell
OF palmy days-his style
When courting, like a magic spell,
Did all his time beguile;
But even courting had to end,
And now he is my dad;
[ would not say it too often,
But that fact makes me sad.
For palmy days are still the rage
With grandpa and his son;
All truth is not on printed page.
As l can prove, for on.
To ancient modes of life they cling,
With palms my days are flanked;
tell you those palms make me stinl
When | am soundly spanked

THE GREAT STRUGGLE.

It is a tremendous struggle that is
on in America between labor and
capital. At this time there are many
signs that look bad. There seems to
be a growing antagonism between
the forces Of capital and organized
labor Labor has been embittered
over the sentencing to jail of Com
pers. Mitchell and Morrison. three OF
their greatest leaders, for an offence
that was no offence at all. This bitter
ness has been increased by the atti-
tude Of the government towards capi-
talistic lawbreakers such as the Stand
ard oil company The government
has merely taken civil action against
the Millionaire offenders. There is a
feeling that the scales of justice do
not hang true. 1t is a dangerous i'm
preston to get abroad.
Strikes have also been very frequent
of late and other contests have been
narrowly averted. War is now on be-
tween organized labor and the United
States steel corporation. The labor
leaders charge that this great trust
is out to destroy organized labor en-
tirely and the forces of labor are be-
ing rallied for the struggle.
Just what the outcome Of all OF
this will be is hard to say. Much IS
going to depend. The great employers
of labor must be fair and reasonable.
They should not think merely of
stockholders and dividends. They
must also consider the wives and the
children of their workmen. On one
hand It is a question of profits for
men who are already rich. On the
other hand it is a question Of food
and clothing for wretched wives and
babies.
If the great capitalists are wise
they will be considerate and just
towards labor. They will divide their
profits equitably with the men who
earn those profits for them and there
by provide safety vents for the vol
cano Of discomfort. II capital does not
act with reason and fairness but on
the other hand stands insolent and
arrogant, as such men as Van Cleve
would have capital do. some day the
volcano may break.

"a man ought to put his foot down
and say, wont grow Old He ought
to get out Of grooves. We are not
haphazard enough. We are apt to do
the things over and over again, ana
that in itself is extremely aging.
"The chief general rule to prevent
old age is to refrain from worrying,
because worry involves fear and cow
ardice. Laughter is an invaluable
preventative of old age"
No doubt this advice is very good
and it should be followed. Yet some
times it is easier to give good ad-
vice than to heed such counsel.

THE AGE HABIT.

There are many who hold the theo-

rule people become aged needlessly
early.
1T is much more important to pre-
vent premature old age than to pre-
vent DEATH" says a prominent physi-
cal culturist.
I'VE grow old largely because 1t is
the conventional thing to do. When
a man reaches a certain age 1t is now
adays positively indecent for him to
remain young We let ourselves grow
old because people tell us we are
growing old.

THE GRAY NUN.

There comes, each dying day, to bless,
A little while before the night,
A gentle nun n convent drcrs
OF clinging robes, all gray and
white.
She lays her cool hand on my face
And smOoths the lines of care away
Her tender touch. with magic grace,
Dispels the worries of the day.
She folds the mystic curtain by
Which hides from view the shad-
owy throng,
And gives me those for whom l sigh,
The vanished friends for whom l
long.
Sometimes she brings perfumed
spray
OF flowers that bloomed long years
ago,
The breath of Summer laid away
Meath many Winters drifted
snow.
No other guest gives such delight,
Nor can of peace bestow the same,
AS she, who comes 'twixt day and
night,
And Twilight is the gray nuns
name.

JUDGE LURTON.

In naming Judge Lurton to the SUI
preme bench to take the place of the
late Justice Peekham, President Taft
has added fuel to a fire that is already
too great. Lurton is held to be a pro
corporation man. 1t is charged that
his decisions have been uniformly IA
vorable to the capitalistic class. Dur
ing 80 years of service. it is said, he
has never given decision against the
Louisville & Nashville railroad.
So there is opposition to his confir-
nation by the senate. According to
press reports Senators Chamberlain
.and Borah are disposed to oppose
Lurton's confirmation If the charge
is true that Lurton is a pro-corpora-
tion judge he should never go upon
the supreme bench. The federal ju-
dietary is now too we'll filled with men
o. that calibre. There are too many
judges like Grosscup-too many ex-
corporation attorneys filling judge
ships. Surely there are able lawyers
who are free from the suspicion that
attaches to Judge Lurton. Why fill
the supreme court with men who are
known to be prejudiced?

RAISE 1T QUICKLY.

There is every reason to believe that
the negotiations between the Wash
ington- oregon traction company and
local people will be satisfactorily con-
cluded AS is but natural with an
undertaking of such magnitude there
are many features to be considered.
The first consideration of the local
committee has been to see that the
proposition is made secure from
Pendleton standpoint before any ac-
ton toward raising the needed money
is started. The traction men say they
appreciate the situation from a local
standpoint and are willing to bind
themselves in such a manner as to
show their good faith and to insure
that their plans will be carried out
and that promptly. After they do
this local people must raise the sum
that is asked in the form of stock
subscription from Pendleton. For a
traction system and an additional
power supply Pendleton can easily af-
ford to pay $4,000. 1t could afford
to pay several times that amount
When the time comes let us raise the
money quickly.

THE PIONEERS.

\ toast to all the pioneers
Who press through the dangers
doubts and fears,
To be with their achievements great
The plaything of tricky fate
And come victorious to stand,
But enter not the promised land.
In every field of human thought
Their skirmish battles have been
fought;
They are the scouts who Forward go
And draw the fire of the foe.
Their failures are our beacon lights
And their successes. point our heights.
Their names are not on any tongue,
They seldom hear their glories sung,
Rebuffs are theirs instead of praise,
The later comers wear their bays.
No costly piles surmount their bones,
Their monuments are stepping stones.

A great many people worry uncon.

This mental disturbance is often
caused by the habit of taking things
too seriously. carrying too great a
weight Of responsibility. Everywhere
we see people who take life too seri-
ously. Most of us are like the motor
man who not only starts and stops the
car and tries to keep from running
over people. but also feels tremendous
anxiety and responsibility about the
motive power.
One Of the most helpful lessons life
can impart is that which shows US
how to do our work as we'll as it can
be done and then let principle take
care of the result. How often have we
been amazed to find things come out
much better than we anticipated: to
find that the great unseen power that
governs our lives through wilderness
of trial and tribulation into the open
