DINKY REASONS.
(ohio State Journal.O


1t is well, when a man makes up
his mind on any matter, to inquire a
second time, to see if some of his rea-
sons are not dinky reasons; that is, lit
tie, trifling, temperamental reasons
that are quite apart from the deep
and lasting truth involved in the sub
ject.
We often judge events and propo-
sitions from the standpoint of con-
venience, prejudice, mere taste or per-
sonal association. That practice is
fatal to the truth. a man will make
I'd his mind on the most trivial cir
cumstance and direct his whole life
by it. No wonder there is so much
disappointment and complaining; no
wonder so much gloom and pessim-
ism.
Every man. if he looks out, will
find great headlands of truth to steer
his craft by. There he should dis
cover that he may be directed Alright.
They are always there If he looks
They are the compass and the North
star which if one does not find, he
will be aptto stray into the jungle
and desert and be lost.
The point is a practical one-what-
ever opinion a man may have on any
subject, let him feel that he is in
honor bound TO see that the founda-
tions of that belief are deep laid and
firm. 4 mans faith is regarded OF
too little consequence, and that is the
reason why much of it is so poor

DIDN'T SEE SNAKES.

In the older days of the medical
profession, when trained nurses were
not as they are today, equal to any
emergency which arises in the sick
room, a man too much addicted to
liquor was taken to a hospital suf-
fering from an aggravating case Of de-
lirium tremens. He was placed in
charge of a physician who prescribed
the usual remedies.
"Now, nurse" said the physician
as he left her in charge, "if the pa
tient sees snakes again give him a
dose of this medicine. l shall be in
again at O'Clock.
The hour for his return arrived.
The physician once more visited the
sick patient and found him raving.
He had been so, said the nurse, for
hours
And did you give him the medi-
cine?" inquired the puzzled doctor.
The nurse shook her head
But didn't I tell you to give it to
him if he saw snakes again" de-
| manded the physician.
But he didn't say he saw snakes
| this time, doctor" replied the nurse
confidently HE said he saw red,
white and blue turkeys, with straw
hats on"

DON'T OVERRATE IT.

Trying to calm the ruffled spirits
of the Baker people and to console
them for their failure to land the
branch asylum the Oregonian says
Bakeries need not sit in sack cloth
and ashes. The branch asylum will
not be as great a boon as people sup
pose. The getting of the asylum
would not have made Baker nor will
their failure to land the institution
cause that town to go into bank
ruptcy.
There is truth in this and it is truth
that has even a better application to
Pendleton than at Baker. If there
are local people who imagine PEN
dleton's future is now secure, simply
because a state institution will be To-
Gated here, they should get over that
impression at once. If too many
people get such an idea as that into
their heads then the branch asylum
will prove a curse and not a blessing.
The branch asylum will be a good
thing for Pendleton, it is true. But
il will not make a vast difference in
local business for the simple reason
that practically all the supplies for
the institution viii be purchased
wholesale, not locally. In the view of
the East Oregonian the chief benefits
that we will derive from the branch
asylum will be in the nature of indi-
rect benefits.
For instance the asylum will make
certain the early improvement Of our
water system. We are now in line
for a gravity water supply and that
will be a good thing whether the
branch asylum is a good thing or not.
Obtain for Pendleton an abundant
supply Of good mountain water and
the benefits that will result from that
Improvement will be marvellous.
Other Improvements too will follow
in the wake of the building of the
branch asylum. Necessarily there
will have to be good streets and roads
leading to that institution. Jackson
and Raley streets will have to be
paved or macadamized and a good
macadamized hig way constructed
from the end Of Raley street down
past the new institution. Betterments
in that section will tr-n call for bet
terments in other =. ons Of the city
and we will soon .aFa better streets
than at present.

PHRASES THAT MEAN MUCH.

The phrase, mad as a hatter,"
really means as venomous as viper,
Mad as a halter" is simply a cor
ruption Of an ancient form, mad as
halter, or adder" Mad in this case
in generally Synonymous with polson-
Gus.
Untl the day of aquariums It was
a somewhat difficult matter to OBJ
serve a live herring 1t is fish that
dies instantly on being taken from its
native element, Among fishermen
first arose the expression, Dead as a
herring"
When we say person is "Not worth
his salt" we are using one of the
oldest phrases in the English lam
guage The expression has come
down through the centuries from Ro-
man days, says Scrap Book
The origin of the phrase is the same
as that of our word salary, both hav-
ing come from the Latin salarium, or
salt money.
The phrase, Hes a brick" origin
ated from an eastern ruler. who, while
visiting a neghboring principality,
asked his host to show him his for
tifications.
Waving his hand toward his troops
which were drawn up in soldiery ar
ray, the prince said to his guest:
"These are my Notifications; every
man is a brick"
The word "scot-free" is a survival
from ancient Anglo Saxon. Scot in
| this sense comes from the old Eng
| lish word "scoot," meaning a portion
| of tribute or taxation. and it is still in
use in the scandinavian languages to
signify treasure. In modern English,
however, it occurs in only two ex-
pressions. the legal phrase, "To pay
scot and lot" and the ordinary word,
| "scot-free."
An official of the Smithsonian in
stitution was speaking of the origin
of some well-known phrases, and
pointe to a small mounted bird. This
bird was a French gray on the back.
drab breast, black wings. and with a
small but conspicuous white spot at
the base of the tail.
THAT is a wheatear," the official
said ''It is very common in Scot
land. where it is known as the
'clacharan.' 1t is from this bird that
we get the expression, Showing the
white feather You will notice the
location of the only white feather on
! its body-they can be seen only when
the bird is flying away from you"
| The phrase, when you are in
Rome, do as the Romans do" is
traced to a saying of st. Ambrose. He
was once consulted by a woman who
asked him whether or not ii was right
to feast on Saturday in Milan, since
in Rome the day was held. as a fast
day, and as such, strictly observed.
The saint could do no better than
to give her the advice which he fol-
lowed himself; for" he said, "when
I go to Rome, l fast on Saturday as
they do in Rome, but when l am here
do not fast" The good saint might
have justified himself with st. Paul's
decision on a similar point.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

THE SPOKANE ELECTION.

In Spokane the advocates of the
commission form of government have
won out and it was a fine victory.
The commission plan was bitterly op-
posed by most of the present city Of
ficials, for reasons that are apparent.
It was also fought by the liquor in
terests because the commission plan
fixes authority and responsibility for
the enforcement of the laws controll-
ing saloons. Other vested interests
also fought the improvement. Yet
there was such an overwhelming SEN
timent for the new charter that 1t
won out despite the fight that was
made against it. Much of the credit
for the victory belongs to the Spokes-
man-Review which journal usually
upholds the best interests of Spokane
and in this case did so by fighting
earnestly for the commission plan.
Considerable credit for the adoption
OF the commission plan may also be
given the women of Spokane for they
generally favored the reform. How
ever many women did not go to the
polls.

Only one more day.
MOTHER LOVE.

The late William James, Harvard s
famous psychologist, would often IL
illuminate misty subject with an ap-
propriate anecdote, says the Washing
ton Star.
Discussing motherhood in a lecture
on psychology, Professor James once
said
"a teacher asked boy this ques-
ton in fractions:
Suppose that your mother baked
an apple pie and there were seven OF
you-the parents and five children.
What part Of the pie would you get
for your portion?'
"'A sixth, ma'am,' the boy answer
ed.
"'But there are seven Of YOU said
the teacher. Don't you know any
thing about fractions?'
"'Yes, ma'am," said the boy, 81
know all about fractions, but 1 know
all about mother. too. Mother'd say
she didn't want no pie"

HORRORS OF WARFARE.

being instructed on How to take a
convoy through an open country"
One company was told off to repre-
sent a convoy. the men being instruct

COWS and wagons.
After being halted a short time the
advance signal was given and the con-
voy moved on. but the major noticed
that one man continued to lie down,
and, galloping up to him in a rage,
said: Man, why don't you advance?''
The soldier replied: "I can't, sir"
Major-You can't What do you

"and I've got wheel off."-TitBits
