INSTINCT AND REASON.
An Interesting Illustration of the Two
Traits Of Monkeys.


An illustration showing the differ
ence betwe instinct and reason In
monkeys came under the observation
Of David Starr Jordan, the famous
naturalist. At one time he had two
lively Macacus monkeys called Bon
and Jocko. These were nut and fruit
eating monkeys aud instinctively knew
just how to crack nuts and peel fruits
At the same time he had baby mon
key, Mono. of kind that had the egg
eating instinct. But Mono had never
yet seen an egg.
To each of the three monkeys Dr.
Jordan gave an egg. the first that any
OF them had ever seen. Baby Mono.
descended from egg eating ancestors.
handled his egg with all the Inherited
~xpertneSs of long developed IN
stinct. He cracked it with his upper
teeth. making q hole In it. and sucked
out all it's substance. Then. holding
the eggshell mp TO the light and sea-
ing there was no longer anything In
1t, he threw it away. All this he did
mechanically. automatically and rust
as well with the first egg as with any
other be afterward had And all eggs
since given him he has treated in the
same way.
The monkey Bob took his egg for
some kind of nut. He broke it with
his teeth and tried to pull of the shell,

hands scooped up the yoIk and the
sand mixed with it and swallowed it.
Then be stuffed the shell into his
mouth. This act was not instinct; IL
was reason. He was not familiar by
inherited instinct with eggs. He would
handle one better next time, however
Reason very often makes mistakes At
first. but when it Is trained it become1

Heart toHeart
Talks.
CHEATED.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Louis Hinton of Elizabeth City. the
richest man in North Carolina. died a
few weeks ago.
Hinton. it is said. owned real estate
In almost every state of the Union and
stocks and bonds in nearly every large
corporation in the country.
His wealth is roughly estimated at
S2.O0o.oOO. and it may be nearer So
100000.
This rich man lived in his old farm
house, which contained barely enough
furniture for actual needs, no carpets
and no curtains. Window panes were
lacking in half the windows.
Every morning before breakfast Hin
ton washed his face in the horse
trough, his only basin.
When he drove to town in his rickety
buggy he carried his dinner In tin
pan under the seat.
Nor was his action eccentric. He
was merely out and out stingy. 1t
was thrift run to seed and resulting
in plain penuriousness.
And there are others. They may not
wash their faces in the horse trough.
and they may replace the broken panes
in their windows. and they may have
rich furniture and expensive rugs, but
In order to be absolutely rich they will
sacrifice things Of more value than
furniture or curtains.
Some of these people that they may
get money they do not need will sac
rifce comfort, health, companionship
Of family. friends. happiness.
Strange?
| You smile at Louis Hinton carrying
his dinner under his old buggy seat or
at the niggardliness in trifes that dis
| finguished the late Russell Sage. but
| many a man anxious for surplus dol
! lars will go further than that.
I For the sake of money he cannot use
/ many a man will sacrifice not only ma
| terial things: he will blunt his con
science and atrophy his soul.
1t is easy to be rich-if you will pay
the price.
The question is, Does it pay?
Does it pay to stunt oneself for the
sake of money one cannot use? Does
/ it pay TO rob oneself of spiritual things
rial things that one does not need?
If SO, then Louis Hinton was wise t.
save the cost of a wash basin and live
on bare floors.
If so. then he is also wise who denies
himself, lets go friendship. even hon
or and self respect, in his chase after
extra dollars
Some Of these men are called grea
financiers. They are not

for what they get. And they are cheat

One of Fiorence's Jokes.
That genial comedian W. j. Florence
had habit of promising a man fish
or some game when he was about
starting on a hunting or fishing trip
Day after day would pass. and the
game would not be forthcoming. But
almost every day a letter or Telegram
would come saying that Florence had
not forgotten; that Florence was lust
about sending the game; that there
was no cause for worry. as a tine fish
or deer was on its way to the express
Office. At first this solicitouspess
would cause courteous letters and tele
grams In return. As the delay got
longer the victim would get impatient
and would finally be literally haunted
by huge fishes or deer. with the com
pliments OF W. j. Florence" Their

Frances Douglas (Mrs. Charles F
Lummis), Of Senior Vinente Blascc
Ibanez'sgreat story of bull fighting
"Sangre y Arena" Senior Ibanel
ranks very high among the novelists
OF Spain and his story is a vivid and
realistic picture of Spanish life, and
especially Of the national pastime
which has probably never been ex-
celled in literature. Mrs. Lummis Is
an accomplished Spanish scholar and
her English rendering will have the
approval of Senior Ibanez himself

have for some time been regarded as
standard and the one dealing with
the Cuban campaign is not only recog-

piece of work, but has taken its place
as the one definitive history and tex
book of the campaign.

iege at Corvallis. The courses begin
January 3 and last for period Of
six weeks. The courses are open to
all people over Is years of age; nc
tuition is charged nor are there any
entrance examinations. The short
courses have been a big feature OF

They are intended to give needed in
struction to practical farmers. Last
year 600 people took advantage OF
the instruction offered and this year
accommodations are provided for
double that number. Here Is a fine
opportunity for farmers to obtain val
liable information. The courses are
especially valuable to those who en-
gage in intensified farming or in hor-
ficulture.

FUNSTON'S CLOSE CALL.

At the ranges at which they had
been fought earlier in the day the
shell would follow the flash so quick
ly that one scarcely had time to move,
but now at twelve hundred yards one
could dive to cover if he lost no time.
Immediately after sighting Cayo
Hueso l had been climbing PARKWAY
up on the parapet to the windward of
the smoke to observe the effects of
my own shots. Whenever in this po-
sition l saw the flash of the enemy's
gun I would yell "Down!" and would
drop into one Of the short bitches
with the others. Finally took a fool
ish notion that this getting down with
such haste looked undignified, and
that 1 would do no more of It, So
when the next flash came l gave the
warning cry and stood my ground. a
couple of seconds later l was literally
hurled backward through the air for

PROTECT THE SETTLERS.

1t will be too bad if the glory of the
Furnish irrigation project is in any
way clouded by the litigation that is
now on between w. ]. Furnish and
his associates of the Inland irrigation
company and DR.. H. w. Coe, head of
the colonization company.
The Furnish project is a great en-
terprise and for time it looked like
1t would be the one private irrigation
project in eastern Oregon to go
through without trouble. The land
under the project is good land and
well adapted to irrigation. With the
completion Of the reservoir at Horse
shoe curve the problem of the water
supply seems to be fully solved.
At this time most Of the land under
the project has been sold and a con-
siderable body is under cultivation.
Within a few years it is going to be
highly productive land and will sus-
tain a large population. Needless to
say the fertility of the land under the
project viii not be affected by the
litigation that is on.
1t is also satisfactory to note that
the suit just filed seems to represent
a controversy purely between Messrs
Furnish and Coe and does not particu-
larry affect settlers upon the project
Still their best interests will be served
By a speedy settlement of the disputes
that are on. 1t is incumbent upor
both sides to the controversy to SEE
that settlers do not suffer losses

WHICH,?

We have, then, three great forces
in the republican situation, Roosevelt,
La Toilette and Taft.
All summer President Taft has been
engaged in an attempt to harmonize
the progressive wing with the stand
patters. He had sent Senator Crane.
of Massachusetts, westward to effect
such harmonization; he had Dispatch
ed his private secretary, Charles Nor
ton, on the same mission. But the
conflict was as irrepressible as that
which brought on the civil war; the
progressives had for the time parted
company with the standpatters; and
within the republican party was be-
ing fought war which must newt
ably result in the elimination of one
OF its elements.
Either the progressives or the reg
ulars must dominate in the National
convention OF 1912. There could be
no compromise. The movement for
popular government, in which Oregon
and Wisconsin had led the way, had
gained the necessary momentum that
some medium had to be developed to
carry that movement to its full fru-
ition. If the progressives won con-
troll Of the republican party probably
that party would be entrusted by the
American people with the task OF
governing the country, for the ensu-
ing period. If the standpatters pro-
cured the ascendancy, then the forces
which have been generated for the
cause Of popular government would
turn elsewhere. Nor the waning OF
the popularity of any man could stop

ing on the political fortunes of one
or more men, to the certainty of sue

LITERARY NOTE.

The West, with its history, romance
and heroism, is developing its own
writers and chroniclers, and of these
none display greater promise than
Joseph Mills Hanson. His first work
appeared about one year ago-"The
Conquest of the Missouri" devoted to
the development and settlement of the
Whites of the vast territory known as
he Missouri River Valley. The long
and deadly controversy between the
Whites and Indians is graphically de-
scribed, and it may be said that Mr..
Hanson's narrative of the Custer
massacre is the best that has yet been
written. This fall Mr.. Hanson has

THE "PENDLETON PLAN"

The saloon ordinance just adopted
by the Pendleton council is receiving
praise abroad. Commenting upon
the "Pendleton plan" of saloon regu-
lation the Oregon Journal says:
"A new ordinance in Pendleton is
rigorous in its regulation of saloons.
1t fixes the license at $1,000 year
and prohibits the use of all blinds or
screens. There can be but a single
room, and there must be no loiter-
ing. Many rigid restrictions of SIM
liar character seem to give assurance
that the saloon business in Pendle-
ton will closely approximate the mod
ern idea of saloon regulation.
by contrast, the Pendleton plan
evidences the transformation that is
going on in the liquor traffic. 1t is
useless to claim that the widespread
agitation of local option and prohi.
bition has not been effective. The
proof that it has been an agitation
with definite results is seen in the
&C ntrast between the future Pendle-
ton saloon and the dives and dead
falls that used to be familiar sight:
in all towns and cities.'
1t might be added that it is also a
part of the "Pendleton plan" that the
ordinance shall be enforced.
