have wondered why it is that wo-
man will spend so much money for
paints, powders, hair and pads
and perfumery and just as soon as
she gets herself to looking round
ed, symmetrical, ruddy, redolent
and pretty after so much effort and
extravaganza, she will go right
straight and spoil the whole thing
and spend more money for hat of
the latest model. If a forty pound
pumpkin supported by a straw pre-
sents an object of attractiveness,
then we are in position to rave
over the big hat and little neck.
Last Sunday we had the best
time at church we have ever had,
thanks to the hats with their la
dies. We couldn't see the preach
er and he couldn't see us, so we
slept as peacefully as a child. We
closed our eyes in the last con
scious moment upon a panorama
Of bird wings. ostrich tails, flow

Often, when the poorer classes
OF us humble toilers contemplate
the gross miscarriages of Justice,
see the Powers that Be apparently
in the control of the rich and un-
scrupelous, we grow pessimistic and
wonder what will eventually be-
come of the individual of humble
life. We tremble lest the power of
the vicious become the wheel of
Juggernaut to crush such as are
less favored by the dispensation
OF Fortune; and from the tyranny
Of such conditions are born the
strifes that embitter human hearts
and natures one toward another,
and there arise breaches in social
religious and business circles that
forever part asunder the classes of
men and render the brotherhood
of man" a mere empty maxim, In
this we are wrong. Justice and
Right are Principles and Prlnci-
Piles are never destroyed. There
may often be a perversion of Prin-
ciple which results in ill to many.
as the suspension of any benef-
cence always causes privation; but
the enactment Of the Divine rules
of human action were made to cov-
er all times, places apd conditions
and however much perverted these
rules may sometimes appear to be,
know we, that as long as the Au-
thor lives the Principle will remain
steadfast. However low our faith
may ebh in the integrity of man
when violende has been done our
confidence and we owake in the
dark night of distrust, let us re-
member that thru human agency

ure OF smoothing back the tidy,

now he finds her with her head

beauty and grace of the maiden of
other years has been engulfed in
the mammouth proportions of the

failed to do and certainly he de-

a place near the size of Stark

While the inventions of man are
hailed as the surest evidence of the

bringing us into a new and rapid
era-an era devoid of the pictur-

simplicity of past years. The old
family carriage with its gentle
team, plush cushions, negro coach
man and storm curtains, has given
place to the rushing, whirling,

DIE FIGHTING FLAMES.
Three Men Trapped by Forest Fires
Near Albany, Oregon.

Near Albany, Oregon.
Albany, Or.-Three men were burn
ed to death in forest fire along the
North Santiam river, opposite Aoov-
er's sawmill, at the terminus of the
Corvallis & Eastern railway, four
miles east of Detroit. The bodies
were not recovered until the following
day. The dead are Philip Richmond,
of Salem; Jay M. Brooks, of Craw-
louisville, Or, and Frank Mccoy, of
Clearfeld, Pa.
Acting against the advice of their
foreman, the men went to death in an
effort to get their tools. Fire had
started from the sparks of a donkey
engine at Hoover's. The three men,
with other workmen, had gone to the
camp. An hour later, after vain
effort to save the camp outfit from the
flames, these three men started to go
to point 400 yards up steep hillside
to get their tools, where they had left
them when the fire started. The wind
was then blowing eastward, sending
the FIRE that way, SO the trip up the
south hillside west of the fire looked
safe. The men had about reached their
tools when the wind suddenly changed,
sweeping the fire with wonderful rap
idity directly up the timber-covered
hill where the men were. In a few
minutes the flames had swept the en-
tire face of the hill, turning the forest
into furnace.
! Falling burning trees made it impos-
sible to ascend this hill until after
noon the following day. A rescue party
then went up. hoping against belief
that the men had reached the summit
and had escaped the fire. All three
bodies were found, however, burned
badly, but not beyond recognition
Two bodies were found together. one
100 yards further up the hill.

Swarms of Black Insects are Devour-
ing Crops in Manitoba.
Gretna, Manitoba-The black grass
hopper, or black locust the greatest
pest that has ever attacked the crops
of Manitoba and the Northern states,
has arrived in swarms, and the injur-
ious insects are headed north, having
come from Dakota, where they have
already done great damage to the grain
crops and the gardens.
The black grasshoppers are to be
seen in great numbers and are attack
ing gardens, showing a special fond
ness for cabbage. Where they do not
find succulent garden forage, they at
tack the standing grain and strip the
straw bare in an incredibly short time.
Tim" O'Brien, the veteran customs
collector at Neche, N. D., recalls that
in the years 1871 to 1874 the black
grasshopper was terrible pest, strip
ping the whole country bare, and
eating the bark off the poplar trees
when they had cleaned everything else
green off the face of the earth. They
came suddenly after long dry spell in
1871 and at times were in such swarms
that their flight obscured the light Of
the sun.
In 1874, after doing tremendous
damage, they disappeared as suddenly
as they had come.

losses in that vicinity, are reported to
be fairly under control. The flames
are still extending for five miles east
of Eldron to Pike lake village, and
large crews of men are fighting the
fires throughout the standing timber
portion in that district.
The loss in standing timber and logs,
according. to a conservative estimate,
was $500, 900.
The Jacob Mortensen Lumber COM

standing timber near Galloway, has q
large crew of men fighting the fire.
The Hatton Lumber company are
protecting their timber. If the wind
keeps down, it is expected the flames
will soon be under control
In addition to the fire at Galloway
numerous small fires have started In
the southeastern portion of Marathon
county, the western part of Shawnee
county, and northeastern portion Of
Portage county. Conditions now are
reported favorable.
The towns of Irma, Gleason anc
