HUMOR OF STONE AGE.

A bunch of merry souls had gath
cred in the den of Alb, the cave man.
A tender young pterodactyl had been
slain that day and, as they dined off
the toothsome mess, sly jests went
round. Flint, the hammer man, told
one on his mother-in-law; Jack, the
arrow newer, said that all the Cave
City policemen were Irish; Hit. the
corn FOUNDER, told of the fire sale in
Jerusalem, and every fresh quib
brought out roars of laughter. Then
Nip, the hunter, who had been vigor-
ously sucking bone, looked up with
a merry twinkle in his eye.
IT know whise grandmother will be
dead tomorrow" he announced.
"Whose?" cried the bunch, spring.
ing from the floor of the cavern.
"Everybody's! said Nip. tits the
opening of the Cliff Dweller's Base
ball Association season!"
Then everybody groaned. The joke
was SO everlastingly old.-Judge.

GIRLS THEN AND NOW.

Seventeen girls of the University
of Missouri went out to meet Weston,
the walker, the other day, and walked
sixteen miles with him before break
fast.
mothers would have said at the idea
of half mile walk either before or
after breakfast!
We hear whole lot about the plah
old-fashioned women, and what a
wonderful creature she was, but some
times when get to looking at the
family album / wonder whether she
was so wonderful, after all.
When l was little girl all the mid
dle-aged women knew were invalids
or pretended to be.
1 can almost remember fainting
when I happened to be caught play
ing house in corner behind ,the sofa
one day and had to stay there and
hear group of my mothers visitors
tell about their ailments. 1 was quite
a heroine, l remember, when some-
body heard doleful moan and pull
ed me out from my ambush, as white
as ghost, and too weak to protest.
l think some of the estimable ladies
present were little jealous of the
delicacy of my constitution, too.
Nowadays woman who talks hos
pital and operation and headache and
lame back might just as we'll lock her
self up in convent and be done with
it. Nobody will listen TO word she
says.
If Christian Science never does an
other thing for the world it has done
this much: 1t has put the sickly
whining, delicate and glad-of- wo-
man out of fashion, and I'm willing
to take off my hat to every practition-
er in the country just for that one
thing alone.
| Grandma walk sixteen miles! Why
she couldn't walk a mile to save her
life, or if she could she was ashamed
of it.
Hurrah for the modern girl, and her
| modern good health. I'm with her
kind, every step of the way, whether
she walks or runs.-Winnifred Black.

ENGLAND's CAUfTAL.

In recent years there has been
good deal of foolish talk about the
supposed decadence of Britain. Not
few Englishmen have themselves falh
en- into grave doubts on the subject
AS matter of fact, the nation never
possessed elements of strength equal
to those of today. A population of
20,000,000 in 1915 has increased to one
of 44,000,000. In 1915 the nations
accumulated wealth was under f3,-
000,006; as late as 1S45 1t was only
"a, 100000, 900; in 1882, according to
Mulhall it was fS,720,0OO, 600; today
it is variously estimated at from f12,-
600, 100000 to Els, 100000, 900. The
yearly addition to this accumulated
wealth in 1915 was E60,00O,O00; to-
day it is E300,000,0 900, or Six times as
much
The total foreign investment of
British subjects, almost a negligible
quantity 100 years ago, is now esti-
mated at f2, 700,OOO,000, upon which
there is an annual income of not less
than f140, 100000. During the last six
years the placement of British capital
in foreign countries, largely suspend
ed during the previous decade, has
been resumed on a stupendous scale,
greatly to the improvement of for
eign trade, and distinctly to the en-
couragement of public and private
thrift. I AT least hundred millions
were invested abroad in 1908, and ap-
proximately the same amount in
1909. These are merely few of the
more obvious evidences of the finan-
cial power of the nation. OF the ulti-
mate ability of the British people to
support a government twice as lavish
as any yet on record there can be not
the remotest doubt. Assuming that
the principles of reasonable economy
are to prevail, the one towering ques-
ton is to how the public burden may
best be adjusted so that the Is per
cent of the population which receives
so per cent of the national income
and possesses more than 80 per cent
Of the nations aggregate wealth may
be made to bear it's just share

THE NEED OF FRESH AIR.

1T gives one to think" as the.
French say, that many childish all
ments grow out of a real need Of
fresh air.
There is a tremendous demand for
oxygen in the human system. We are
fires burning up every moment that
we lige; our bodies are like slow fires
that never go out while life lasts.
Children burn up at much quicker
rate than full-grown men and women,
and the rapidity is due to the build
ing process. Their fires need stoking
not with coal, but with oxygen.
Now, we never get the same oxygen
in room that we do outdoors, and
our fires, in consequence, burn low;
dying fires mean lessened vitality.
Have you ever known that were the
windows closed and the open flame
of gasoline burner, for instance al
lowed to consume the oxygen in a
room in which a baby is kept sleep
ing, 1t will likely succumb?
Does not the argument prove that
larger children. still rapidly growing
demand quantities of fresh aid daily
and with unfailing regularity, that
life at its best and brightest may re-
suit?

SALESMANSHIP.

Young man." says the automobile
manufacturer to the new salesman
who has astonished the organization
by the rapid-fire sales he has made
in the two months of his employment.
Il must congratulate you on your
work." ii
THANK you, SIR" replies the new
salesman, modestly.
Il know we build the best auto in
the market" says the manufacturer,
but even at that I cannot understand
how you can sell 10 times as many
machines as the very best man we
have had prior to you. How do you
it?"
We'll, sir" explains the new sales
man, the light Of honest pride in his
eyes. IT always ask the customer to
take ride in one of our machines as
the first move toward getting ac-
quainted with its riding qualities. OF
course he accepts the invitation. I
then take him out on the boulevard
and get arrested and fined for fast
running. After that there is no ar
gument."
Ten minutes later the new salesman
leaves the private office with block
Of preferred stock tucked away in his
inside pocket.-Judge's Library.

BY THE RIVER OF TIME.


| sat down on the bank of the river
At the dawn of a beautiful day,
And gazed on it's shimmering water
AS it silently glided away.
Then, thoughtlessly picking flower
cast 1t to float on the stream
And quickly it passed from my vision
AS phantasies fade in dream.
/ sat on the bank. of that river
When the sun in the heavens was
high,
And it threw back the beams from its
surface :
AS warm as they fell from the sky;
Then tempest passed over its bosom
And it's billows rolled grand like the
sea,
But the wind and the waves and the
thunder
Made only sweet music for me.
/ sat by the side of the river
AT the close of long, weary day,
And. msdly, / yearned for the flower
had cast, in the morning, away
But never again could hold it.
With it's fragrence and freshness of
bloom
Then night. like plying angel.
Bade me sleep meath her mercful
gloom.

ALL RIGHT AT PRESENT.

Bruce Dennis, editor of the La
Grande Evening Observer, is aggri-
waited by the agitation for so many
new counties and he is likewise bored
by the talk of the new state of Sis
kyou. He predicts that none of the
present schemes will be accomplish
ed.
Things are all right in Oregon, so
far as county lines are concerned
until we get more people," says the
Observer. "You cannot make a
county without the population, and
instead of using energy to change
lines in the map it would be better
for harmonious campaign to pre-
vail that will bring in settlers in this
great state which has hardly been
scratched"
This is the sentiment of the East
Oregonian with reference to the plan
for "Orchard" county. Division plans
should be held in allegiance pending
the closer settlement and develop
nent of the county. After this coun-
II has become really settled the
county division problem will be easily
solved.

inches of rain in Pendleton and this Is
the usual precipitation for the entire
rainy season. The rain has been well
distributed and so has been of the
greatest possible benefit. With all
this moisture and with the warm,
balmy spring the weather has been
simply ideal for the growing crops.
Seldom before have the hills been so
green and beautiful. Never did the

ALL SHOULD BELONG.

Every able bodied, healthy minded
young American should be. glad to
serve an enlistment in the national
guard The national guard is for use
in time of war. Those who join the
guard and take the oath of service
signify they are willing to fight in be-
half of their country in the event
they should be needed. There are
some who sneer at the guard and
pretend to doubt it's efficiency in time
of war. Such men know nothing
of the national guard and nothing of
its history. The guard proved its
value in the Spanish war and it will
make good again if ever called up
on. This is because the guard is
composed of enthusiastic and patri-
otic young men. 1t is worthy of note
that those who scott at the guard
have never been guardsmen them
selves and SO have never taken the
chance of being called out for SER

IF WE MUST FIGHT

If the county divisionists can be in
duced to give up their scheme for the
present or of they will consent to di-
vision with the boundary line near
Dry Creek very well. Peace will be
better than war.
But if peace. cannot be had upon
these terms then Pendleton, Athena
and Weston must prepare to fight the
"Orchard' county bill and fight it to
the finish. This because the adoption
of the scheme as it stands would mean
ruination to Umatilla county and
would work especial loss upon PEN
dleton, Athena and Weston. Under
their scheme the divisionists not only
want to include the Milton-Freewater
country in "Orchard" county but they
are trying to take the heart of the
wheat belt of Umatilla county. They
get the most of their area from this
side of Dry creek. This is territory
that does not want to be in orchard
county. 1t is naturally allied with
Umatilla county. The divisionists
know this but they are trying to "take
in" this territory so as to tax the rich
wheat lands in order to meet the
heavy expenses to which the new
county will be subjected. 1t is the
most high handed proceeding ever
heard of. 1t is a piratical scheme that
would make Captain Kidd turn green
with envy.
If the Miltonites insist upon putting
their proposition to vote of the peo-
pie of the state next November there
will be but one thing for the rest Of
the county to do. We must fight.
Pendleton, Athena and Weston must
take the lead in a campaign to offset
the Orchard" county move. An or
ganization must be perfected and
money raised to carry on counter
campaign. The sum of $4,000 would
De a small amount 10 use III SUCH d
fight. That sum would not. be half
as much as the Athena Weston tax
payers would have to pay the first
year in increased taxation should they
b. included in the new county. The
sum would be nothing as compared
with Pendleton's loss in business and
prestige in the event we allowed the
Orchard" county schemers to carry
out their plot.
If we cannot have peace, it must be
war. If it is to be war then let US get
ready to fight with such force that
there will be no question as to the
outcome. Let us bury Orchard"
county under an avalanche OF votes so
deep that not a whiff will ever arise
from its odorous corpse to offend the
nostrils of the people of this renown-
ed old county.

MANS EYE TRANSFERRED TO
Woman--First Operation of Its Kind
That Has Ever Been Successful

ta Philadelphia, Aug. 5..-One OF the
most delicate and dangerous opera
tons known to modern surgery was
performed at the Mcdico- -Chirurgi-
cal Hospital when a portion Of the
cornea, the transparent film cnvclop-
ing the eye, was trephincd from the
eyebal OF man employed at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works. His
eye has been permanently destroyed
by silver OF. steel, but the comca
was uninjured. The trephncd piece
was transDlantcd TO the eye Of the
woman who had been blind from in
M8Scy. One OF her eyes had been
VZhoved and she could not see with
the other, it being affected with neo-
natorum, the cornea becoming cloud
ed and absolutely Opaque. The
only possible way in which her
sight could be restored was to re-
move the cornea and transplant
some transparent substance in its
place.
This was done by the operation
above described and she left the hos
pital to-day She can now readily
distinguish objects few feet away
and the surgeons believe her sight
will gradually become stronger.
The operation is the first of It's
kind on record which has been sue
ceSsful.
