CLEVER DIPLOMACY.

(From Tid-Bits)
The late Lord Salisbury some years
ago sent foreign office emissary
to make some demand of the -
republic. Before setting out on his
mission the emissary to whom his
lordship had explained the exact ma
ture of the demands, desired to be
informed as to the course to take il
after he had said everything there
was a refusal.
"Oh," answered Lord Salisbury,
this is not matter in which we have
the least thought of fighting. If the
president refuses, why, you will SIM
ply have to come home again.
The emissary went and had his say
to the president of -, who blank
ly refused to give in and the diplomat
retired to think things over.
A few hours later he wrote to the
president.
"I regret that your evceiIency does
not see your way to recognizing the
business of the claims which I have
had the honor to present. 1 have now
to say. on behalf of Her Britannia
Majestys government, that unless
your excellency yields on all points
which I have named it will be my
painful duty to act on the second half
of my instructions.
Under this vague and significant
threat the president yielded at once.

GIRLS TRY ESTHETIC DANCING

(From st. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
Did you ever stand out in the sun
on a bright day with the soft grass
under your feet and the soft wind
blowing your hair and skirts about
without taking a deep breath and
feeling that you could just rise up on
your toes. lift your arms and fly?
The same sensation is what makes
little children want to take off their
shoes and stockings and run around
in their bare feet. 1t must be the
sensation that first inspired Jump
ing for JOY" which after all is the
most primitive dance of all.
These are the theories on which
Miss Alice Martin is building for a
new fad, which has already been ac-
cepted by a few of the more daring
spirits. Should you chance to see
out in the country number of
nymphs barefooted and barelegged
draped after the fashion of Botticelli's
Spring" tripping around in some
green sward, gracefully waving gar
lands OF blossoms or gauze scarfs,
you will know that it is Miss Martin
and her followers daring to prove the
Oh I1tlT cO1lNlCllOnS. NliS5
Martin says: "The fascination Of
dancing barefoot in the open is un-
equaled by any other kind of dane
ing. You seem to be drawing some
new force from the ground itself, that
you dance instinctively without re-
gard to fixed steps or combinations
of steps-the wind waiting your hair
here and there in any direction, just
as it blows the scarf. Sometimes you
follow 1t. then again you defy the
wind and dance up into 1t. And
when you stop you feel no fatigue, no
exhaustion, only exhiliration, and you
feel gay and happy. Esthetic dane
ing has been growing in popularity,
on and off the stage for the last few
years until now its place is assured.
Women of fashion have taken 1t up
as a means of exercise. I rejoice In
seeing it. as in most forms of exer-
else. swimming. horseback riding,
golf and tennis. something Of grace
and daintiness is lost. while strength
and endurance is gained. while in
dancing. not only does the grace re-
main, but all the muscles gain in
suppleness, elasticity and no end of
endurance is acquired. It does not
bring into play any one set Of mus
cles, but every muscle in the body,
developing where there were none,
and bringing into use all the muscles
equally.
This being true, think how much
more beneficial ii is to do your danc-
ing for exercise in the open Esthetic
and c1a acic danofp1 has a nurphar NJ
followers in ST. Louis who at first
learned 1t for fad and are keeping

GOOD ROADS NEEDED NOW.

With the dust so thick upon the
highways that automobiling in the
country has ceased to be a pleasure
and with the chuck holes so deep that
the hauling of wheat is accomplished
with much wear and tear on horses
and wagons, the time is opportune
for giving the good roads movement
boost. The Telegram suggests that
what Oregon needs is good roads
dynamite" 1t is possible that the
Telegram is not far from right.
In Iowa recently 10000 men were
put to work simultaneously upon one
highway leading across the state. Ar
experiment like that in Oregon would
undoubtedly have some effect. Al
any rate the state could well afford
the experiment.
While Oregon undoubtedly needs
more railroads and more settlers, the
real crying need of the hour is bet
ter and more permanent public roads
II is doubtful. however that any rea
good will be accomplished until the
bonding provision is made a law
When this is done the state will b.
ready for the dynamite"

A DEPOT MATRON.

There are several ladies about town
who are always upon the alert to i'm
prove conditions about Pendleton
wherever they need Improvement, and
these ladies. it is, who are now agi-
tating the necessity of a matron at
the new o. r. & N. depot. They
point out that there are two hours
OF the day when there is an unusual
hustle about the depot because Of the
parting. between 10 and II o'clock in
tie morning and between and s
o'clock In the evening. Because Of
this hustle and because of the ar
rengement of the schedule, they argue
there is much confusion and diff
Guilty in distinguishing between trains
These conditions prevailing makes 1t
very desirable, they say, that there
should be matron retained by the
railroad company whose specific duty
It would be to act as an information
bureau for people who do not under
stand the train scheudle.
Anyone who has been at the depot
at either one Of these hours will
readily agree with these civic ladies
THAT there is much confusion attend
ing the arrival and departure Of
trains and the adoption Of tho matron
idea would assuredly be an effective
remedy for this condition, and II is
to be hoped that their efforts will be
productive Of the desired end. The
matter should be taken up Immediate
L. with the o. r. e. N. company for
II is hardly probable the the in
provement will be Instituted on the
initiative OF the railroad.

MORE OREGON RAILROADS.

Judge Robert S. Lovett declared
Eastern Oregon capable of sustaining
one railway, if all the land were culti-
waited, and proceeded as if he intend
ed to construct line from Ontario to
a junction with the Klamath-Natron
section of the Southern Pacific. Yes
terday. John F. stevens let informa-
ton get out that the Oregon Trunk
plans to build an extension of about
155 miles from Bend TO near Burns.
Mr.. Stevens believes the Hartman
estimate of the country's tonnage is
too low, or else he does not take SER
iously the plan to extend that On
tario branch across the state. But
these Hill railway builders have been
remarkable in accepting only their
own estimate of oregon's prospective
tonnage.-Telegram

WINNING OF THE WEST.
lRy John scott Mills.l

(By John Scott Mills.)
In days of old. the lure of gold
Led men from home and distant
lands;
They fought their way. by night and
day,
To where were found the golden
sands.
They mined a wealth of gold and
health;
King Fortune smiled at their be-
hest.
They claimed the land. and savage
band
No longer ruled throughout the
West.
The fruitful field, the orchard yield,
The town, the hamlet-all attest
A work well done-a work begun
By men who strived to win the
West.
The years have passed, and soon the
last
Brave pioneer will be at rest.
Above their clay each one may say:
Here lies the men who won the
West"
No marble shaft nor cenotaph
Can men like these with fame in
vest.
There's greater fame, for all acclaim,
"All honor their's-they won the
West"

THE HOBBLED ONE.

My hobbled skirt would trip me
And hinder me, you know
1 dare not try the polka
Which once 1 danced with grace,
Unless they will reverse it
For half foot of space.
l used to do the two-step
And scoot across the floor,
But now l stand serenely,
And l two-step no more.
1 tried it just last evening;
My partner was surprised
He asked me very gently
II 1 was paralyzed.
/ cannot do the schottische;
l stagger in the squirt
And find myself completely
Dissuaded by my skirt
o, tell the band to stop it!
My feet beg for chance.
Or I'll try in a minute
The old st. Vitus dance
l cannot hear the music
Without a vague regret
That 1 no more may stalk through
The stately minuet.
They'll have to make new dances
If they would fill the bill;
Devise a jolly figure
We can dance standing still.
1 cannot dance the old steps
For fear that I will fall.
IN fact. since I've been hobbled
l cannot dance at all.

Don't lift your brows or frown
Because the solemn truth is
That l cannot sit down.
