GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Used When Gallants In
France Did Fancy Work.


During the old regime in France,
about which 50 much glamour re-
mains 10 Us, the cry men who were
living and making the history of the
empire Of Louis passed their leisure
time IN a way that seems TO US OF
today utterly ridiculous In all the
fancy work on which ladies' employ
ed themselves the !acn seem to have
taken part
Poinsinet in one Of his comedies
represents a young marquis enter
ing a room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
a piece Of dress trimming, the other
a Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye of a
connoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
is too polite TO notice any defects.
He takes a little gold tube out Of
the poke; of his richly decorated
wsistcoat and sc'octs a dainty gold
needle He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise Is working and fin
ishcs the Cover which she had be-
gun. Fro. her he moves to the
sofa and. g Ang one end Of the
founcc. assists Ismene. TO whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task
AT this time il was the custom OF
the ladies invariably TO carry their
workings with them 10 the evening
receptions. in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel. the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots
Gentlemen also carried deity en-
broidered little bags into company.
which held "a whole arsenal Of cut
lery ard fancy articles, such
boxes OF different shapes filled W
lozenges. bonbons. snuff and scer.i.
At another period the fashion OF
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades.
boxes and vases. The skill in this
was TO so arrange the drawings or
parts Of different drawings as to
produce a curious or amusing ef-
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuous
in the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest a word or phrase, and
I forthwith il would be converted into
the subject of sprightly little play
MANY Of the word games now cur
rent with rs in America had their
origin in the necessity the French
salons we're under in the last cen
tury to divert themselves. In some
of the salons the fashion of keep
ing daily chronicle Of news, which
was too often mere chronicle CT
scandal, was adopted Nine Dou-
blet de Persan issued bulletins
which she called "nouvelles la
main" In her apartments two reg
isters we're kept, one Of the authen-
tic news received here and there by
her guests, the other Of floating ru-
mors and on dts. and from these
tie budget of her chronicle was
made up and circulated throughout

HAVE you ever met the Lady,

Nothing you can do or say,
Is just right within her eyes
If you say: Its lovely weather,
And the sun is nice and hot,
She will say: Its disagreeable.
And she's cold. as like as not.
If you say: The flowers are lovely,
And the birds, they sing so well T"
She will say: They're very noisy;
Flowers have horrid SMELL.
If you tell her that in sewing
Thread should go to the needle thro'.
She will say: ITO put the needle

DIDN'T HURT BUSINESS.

San Francisco people who have been
affected directly or indirectly by the
graft prosecutions have cried out
continually against the work being
done by Heney ct al. Their great cry
has been that the prosecutions have
injured san Francisco and hurt busi-
ness"
But a short time ago eastern capi-
talists bid s6,O65,S2O for $5,4OO.OOO
worth of San Francisco municipal
bonds. Such a premium, it is elaine /
was not surpassed anywhere in the
United States during the past year.
Referring to the sale and the charge
that the graft prosecutions hurt busi-
ness the Sebastopol Times reeeHtly
said:
While Schmitz was mayor and the
bcodle Board of Supervisors We're in
office, and after it had become
known to the world that the San
Francisco government was corrupt,
bonds were offered for sale,
but the bonds could not be sold Now
the grafters have been removed from
power in San Francisco. Ruef has
been convicted and Patrick Calhoun,
the highest 'higher-up" indicted, is
on trial Coincidently, the highest
premium offered anywhere in Ameri-
ca for twelce months past is bid for
s5.000.000 of San Francisco bonds
Has the graft prosecution hurt busi-
ness? Yes, crooked business"

PENDLEToN's NEED.

Many months ago the water COM
mission did some preliminary work
looking to the establishment of a
gravity water system for Pendleton,
But for a long time nothing has been
heard from the honorable gentle
men who composed the board. Seem
ingly nothing definite has yet been
accomplished. Another warm sea-
sen is almost at hand and Pendleton
people are still using water from the
old system.
For many reasons Pendleton needs
a gravity water system. The present
water system is not adequate and the
quality of water furnished not the best
obtainable.
Right now the establishment of a
better water system is Pendleton's
greatest need. An abundance of good
water is imperative if the city is to
continue to grow. Then there is an
other reason why plans for a gravity
system for Pendleton should be
worked out with speed. A branch in
sane asylum is to be established in
eastern Oregon and this city fur
nishes the logical place for its loca-
ton. The one weak spot in Pendle-
toms position is that at present 1t
does not have mountain water sup
ply. Before the times comes for the
branch asylum to be located Pendle-
ton should have a gravity system eth
er in use Or in process of construc-
tion

\ SIGNIFICANT STEP.

An incident of vast significance
was reported in this paper Saturday.
II was a story telling of the purchase
by At..ena citizens of 140-acre
tract adjoining their town. They pro-
pose to break the ranch up into small
acreage tracts and hope to do the
same with other ranches in that vi
cinity.
This news is significant because it
shows the growth Of the idea thai
Umatilla county land lis good for
something more than wheatra'sing
and that with proper efforts many
of the big ranches may be broken up.
Furthermore, the deal made Satur-
day shows that Athena people are
waking up to the fact that If they
will act they may do much to build
up their town. At this time Athena is
suffering because during recent years
land in that section has been going
into fewer and fewer hands. They
are now taking practical steps to off
set this evil.
The idea Of making small diversi-
fled farms out of land lying near
Athena should be entirely feasible.
There IS a heavy demand in this
county for small farm products.
There is money in produce raising.
dalrying. poultry raising, etc At this
time most Of the produce used in this
county is shipped into the county.
Right now potatoes are sky high in
the local market. A short time ago
eggs were selling for so cents per
dozen. Creamerymen have been beg
ging farmers to keep dairy cows. In
view Of these conditions surely mon
ey may be made at small farming.
In their efforts to bring about more
intensified farming and a consequent
greater population in that vicinity,
the people Of Atheua are entitled to

THE RIVER OF GOD.

There is a river the streams whereof
Make glad the city of God:"
III went with the dead TO find this
thing.
And all through heaven l trod.
Now, heavens wide and wonderful
place,
But the people are such as we:
So l came back home in sorrow and
thirst
And then one said to me:
"oh fool YOU have travelled so far to
find
What you've crossed over time and
again;
For the river of God is Halsted street
And is running black with men,"
Then maybe Chicago's the city of
God?"
laughed, Perhaps" said he;
For to find that city one needs no
wings
To fly, but eyes to see;
"And low in the rushes the river
sings,
And strange is its spirit lure:
For 1t waters the joys of living and
loving
That bloom on the hearts of the
poor"
So took my place in the city slums
Where the river runs night and
day;
And there 1 sit by the tree of life.
And teach the children to play.
And ever l soil my hands in the river
But ever it cleans my soul:
And / draw from the deep with the
silver cord.
And find the golden bowl.
The Rev. Frank Crane, in the
. .Christion Socialist.

the heartlest encouragement from al
classes. The success of the move
ment undertaken means not only
that Athena will be benefited bu
that the value OF farming lands in
that vicinity and elsewhere in the
county will be enhanced.
This is very opportune time for
starting a movement such as has
been undertaken. The o. r. & n.
company has just announced that it
will place gasoline cars on the run
between Dayton and Pendleton. This
means that the country between here
and Dayton will have a car service
almost equivalent to that furnished
by an electric line. 1t has been the
history everywhere that where such
service is provided it results in
closer development of the country
through which the line runs.
But the work has only been started.
If Athena people stop now their et-
forts will be wasted. They should
keep on and get other tracts broken
up. They must get people to settle
upon this land. To do this they
should join with Pendleton and other
town in continuing the publicity
work for the county. The main pur-
pose of the publicity bureau is to
bring people into this county from
the states of the middle west. Athena
needs just such people. Since this is
the case that town should help keep |
up the bureau.
