A WREATH OF BABIES"

Imagination is the making of a
writer, SO one has been led to believe.
Perhaps; but some writer's go too
far. Just listen to this description
'of bit of simple summer millinery
from foreign publication:
at goes with yellow print frock,
like the poets
"Buttercup-color was her print gown
So sweetly rare. SO quantity fair!"
and here We had gray chip, very
coarse, but dull of surface, and but
tercup-yellow taffetas Winterhaltel
bows, with raveled ends, sitting all
around the low crown, with theil
fat, short legs sticking out well apart
in front of them, for all the world
like wreath of chubby babies.

MILLIONS THRoNe TO MECCA
Arabian City Is the Religious Capital
Of one-Seventh Of the Hu-
man Race.

Although one Of the most inacces-
sible cities on earth Mecca each year
has visitors in such number that it
must be ranked in this particular
with London and New York. Even
the worlds metropolis on the Thames
can boast no such cosmopolitan
character as is impaired to this mys-
FERROUS city in the wilderness of Ara
bia by the myriads of pilgrims, who
at the cost of incredible pains annu-
ally crowd into its confines.
This city is the oldest place of
resort in existence, vet Of all the mil
lions who have visited it not score

ship would save a mans life we're he
known to be Christian within the
sacred precincts of the city, where
the Prophet himself decreed. that no
unbeliever should set foot.
Of the 225,000,O0O Moslems in
the world only 15,5O0,OOO live UNI
der the Turkish flag, yet most of
them acknowledge the sultan of
Turkey as their caliph, the success
sor of the Prophet. As Mohammed
shrewdly foresaw, the Mecca pill
grimage binds together his disciples
into a unity which could be effected
in no other way.

JOAQUIN MiLLER's HOME.

Many years ago, soon after Joa-
quin Miller had settled in his pres
ent home, "The Heights" l asked
him where he lived. His reply came
promptly: "Three miles east, one
perpendicular In that expression
you have a graphic, symbolic state
,ment of Joaquin's mental habitat.
He lives nearer the rising sun than
most people and his normal dwelling
place is ga mile perpendicular" His
nest is on 'The Heights" his eye
far seeing, blue, prophetic, keen,
kind and his soul attuned, when he
sings, to the harmony of the spheres.

w ATTEMPT To STOP THE LEAKS
Attorney General Lyle has very
properly sat down on the practice
that has become very common, of
county aud municipal officers taking
innket expeditions and charging the
expenses to the public. The city
instituted the custom Of sending its
fire chief to all department tourna-
ments held in this and adjacent
States, Ostcnsibly to learn new
poin tiers regarding that service, the
only visible effects have been to send
across the continent for lirc-ladderS
instead of using our own forest
growth and local mechanical skill to
supply that aid. Now the Attorney
General holds that the County Com
miSsioners may not travel about and
charge up the expense of travel and
maintenance to the county. 1t was
only a few days ago that the whole
city board went to Portland to see
what kind of pavement to use on
Main street, and the result was that
no two Councilmen agreed upon the
different kinds after talking with
the rival contestants in that city.

If SO, WHY? - Gov. Charles S.
Thomas, of Colorado. short time
ago, attended q Woman Suffrage
League meeting. to testify to the
effect of the enfranchisemert of the
fair sex in that State. While he
was unqualified in the belief that it
had wrought much good there, be
predicted that its extension would
not revolutionize the world or that
its effect will continue to advance to
ennoble mankind. Now the aues-
ton arises. why this belief? If it is
q good thing now and under present
conditions, why is it not probably
that the same elevating influence
will continue indefinitely? Is it
at all statesmanlike to cast such
anchors to the windward, to guard
against any possible mistake of judy
ment, or is it honest to do so?

were liable to contiScation of prop

for relief of an assessment admitted

the whole community.

by statement that there is no law

are concerned, but it is no less true
that private as well as public citi-
