REAL DANGER OF A VOYAGE.

May Atlantic: Some years ago
elaborate plans were drawn up for the
safety of lines when clear of the land
refer to the tracks agreed upon by
the leading steamship companies.
These tracks no doubt are good
thing and do, minimize the risks of
an ocean passage. but the gravest
and most unwarrantable risks are
taken in the very worst places in the
world-the English channels and
under the worst possible conditions.
Sailors on leaving port, often mud
died through drink, are of no assist
ance to the officer in keeping look
out. The officers though not through
drink, are worse than ihuddled. Their
faculties are impaired, their eyes are
almost closed, their bodies are worn
out; all this through false economy,
or ignorance and bad management,
on somebody's part. Until some fine
vessel with it's precious cargo is sent
to the bottom through collision, these
things, l believe, will not be rectified.
1t is only by good luck that this has
not happened already. But luck will
turn some day. Who will pay the
piper then? Not the wornout man on
the bridge, | hope.

MECCA OF RICH WIDOWS.

Washington Post: The popularity
of Washington as residence city has
led to its being dubbed mecca for
rich widows" Many wealthy women
have purchased homes here during
the past two years. Among them is
Mrs. Marshall Field, who is building
an attractive residence in New Hamp-
shire avenue. Mrs. Fields niece is
Mrs. Alfred j. Beveridge, wife of Sem
ator Beveridge of Indiana, and the
desire to be near this favorite young
for the Chicago leader.
Other well-known folk who have
recently announced an intention to
settle in Washington next season are
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry White, the form
er until recently ambassador to France
and General and Mrs. Theodore Bing-
ham. Mr.. and Mrs. White have hosts
of friends in Washington and plan to
settle down here. Another well-known
couple, formerly prominent in diplo-
matte life, Mr.. and Mrs. Bellamy
Storer, are also expected to make their
home here next winter. Mrs. Storer
became familiar with Washington So
ciety during her husbands congress
sional service. The Storers have many
affiliations with the smart set here.
Mrs. Storer is the aunt of Represen-
tative Nicholas Longworth and of the
Countess de Chambrun, wife of the
military attache of the French en-
bassy, who is Mr.. Longworth's sister.

FOR SUCH is THE WAY.

William and John were two broth
ers who differed widely in tempera,
ment (see dictionary. william was
always kind and good, and had been
ever since he was born. John was
bold and bad, and would be until he
died. When William reached mans
estate (Which was the only estate he
ever did reach) he fell in love with
a beautiful maiden and married her.
John also fell in love and married,
which was the only time in his life
that he followed his brothers example.
AS time went on, William rose in the
business world until he became a
bookkeeper for a wholesale grocery
firm at a salary of s12 week. John
found it necessary to struggle along
on a modest stipend of $4,000 a year,
for he was only broker, William,
however, couldn't be any broker. Will
liam proved a model husband, and
permitted his better half to absorb
eleven-twelfths of his earnings.
whereas John made his wife keep
house on $4.75 a week, and beat her
regularly every Tuesday. After a
while the world was surprised to hear
that Williams better half had run
away with a male person who wore

Praying is a wasteful act when 1t

You can not live for people with

No man has a great mission who

Too many think that square living

Too many mistake the squabbles of
creed for the fight of faith.
Turn your face to the sun and you

There is no naturalization for heav-

Many preachers mistake pounding

The more you think of money the
more you are likely to miss true rich

No man ever deeply admired great
good without deeply detesting that
which stood in it's way.

WHILE THE LoCUsTs BLOOM.

Here is a suggestion for the local
photographers. Take pictures of the
many beautiful scenes about Pendle-
ton while the locust trees are in
blossom. Never did the locusts bios
som in greater profusion before and
never was any city decked in greater
splendor than is Pendleton at this
time. Almost every residence street
in the city is lined with locust trees
end now that they are all in blossom
every thoroughfore is made beautiful.
Everywhere about the city there are
vistas that would delight the eye of
people who live in the east and have
just gone through heavy blizzard
while the spring time sun was max
ing eastern Oregon smile with pleas
ure. Souvenir cards should be gotten
out showing these scenes. Local peo-
pie could send them to their friends
in all parts of the country and Il
would be splendid advertising for Pen
dletan and for eastern Oregon. II
every person in the city would send
out 10 souvenir postals then $4,000
or more people in different parts OF
the world would learn how Pendleton
looks while the locusts are in blossom

INVENTOR OF THE DIME NOVEL.

The death Of Orville ]. Victor,
which occurred at his home in Ho-
hokus. New Jersey. recently. removed
a remarkable character and man
possessing a distinctive claim to ce-
lebrity. Only two or three newspapers
chronicled his demise, says Harper's
Weekly and none of them referred
to the work with which he was long
est associated. They told of the his
tories and biographies which he wrote
and the newspapers and periodicals
which he conducted. None of them
mentioned his connection with Bea-
dies Dime Novels, all of which he ed
tied for many years

Adams, their partner in the publish

they were better than any of their imi-
tators of the later period.
OF those who were associated in any

CIRCUITOUS SERVICE.

Frank Rack who now lives at Vain
wright Alberta, and has been SUBJ
scriber to the East Oregonian for 25
years, complains that it takes IL days
for his paper to reach Wainwright.
The paper is sent from sPendleton to
Seattle, thence to Victoria, thence to
Winnepeg, then back to Edmonton
and to Wainwright. Mail could be
sent from Pendleton to Wainwright
in five days. Spokane mail goes
through to that town in three days
and mail from Walla Walla reaches
there in four days. Evidently the
railway mail clerks who handle the
Pendleton mail have not yet learned
the geometrical. principle that a
straight line is the shortest distance
between two points, Or else they are
trying to provide a long haul for the
railroads. If second class matter Is
carried on mileage basis and the
railway mail service Throughout the
entire country is of the efficiency here
indicated, it is not surprising there is
a postal deficit. Perhaps Mr.. Hitch
cock could reduce that deficit by a
closer supervision of the work being
done by his department

Louisville Courier Journal: Any
one who is familiar with the lynch
ing problem from a field experience
any one who has been near enough
the scene of the mob outrage to alb
sorb the atmosphere Of the occasion
and know the truth about local sem
timent-knows that the resident cor
respondent rarely writes the real story
of the lynching. He describes the
dramatic advance of determined citi-
zens" upon the Jail and the deep
feeling of the community against the
victim of the mob. He rarely tells
how a proportion Of the mob is made
up Of the most disreputable element
in the community; how much whisky
and hilarity lend zest to the man hunt;
how large sprinkling of boys in their
teens" and young men in their early
twenties participate in the festivities
and how much more interest is felt in
committing murder that carries no
penalties than in avenging a crime
for which the penalty would surely
be prescribed II the criminal were
brought to trial.
