THE SERENADE.

An Old Romantic Custom That Has
Fallen Into Desuetude.
In recalling the serenade of the Phil
harmonic society to Mile. Nilsson ] am
reminded of a custom now fallen Into
desuetude, but which at the time |
speak Of (1S70 was favorite method
of bestowing a marked compliment
upon any one whom you wished par
ticularly to honor.
The serenade was not only offered
to visitors of distinction. but prevailed
extensively as delicate attention
which you might pay to the lady of
your choice. 1t was thought the prop
er thing at that period for a man to
engage the best brass band he could
afford and to proceed with 1t after
midnight to the house of his preferred
and then to stand beneath the win
dows while the musicians played their
most sentimental and sonOrous selec-
tons. 1t was not an uncommon sound
even to hear a double quartet of male
voices. with a French horn thrown In,
singing beneath the windows Of some
favored damsel, while paterfamilias or
the butler made ready some light re-
freshment for the donors Of this grace
ful compliment
These romantic attentions have TAX
en- fight with the advent of electric
lights. elevated railroads and other
voices of the night. but even New York
had few hours OF stiffness after mid
night. and the night watchman lent
an indulgent ear to these revelers, who
would doubtless be locked up as dis
turbers Of the peace did they hazard
such an enterprise under our modern
regime-Richard Ho1man's 'fAusieh
Recollections."

What the Kidneys Do.
Their Unceaslng Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
gout gravel, disorders of the eye
sight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposites in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
E. L. Berry, Main St., Heppner
Oregon, says: "You are welcome
to use my name as one who has
been cured of kidney complaint
by Doan's Kidney Pills. My kid
neys were weak and my back was
so painful that | was obliged to
walk all stopped over. The con-
tents of one box of Doan's Kidney
Pills effected a cure and during
the past two years there has been
no recurrence of the trouble" "

The oriqin of Ounce.

A Ounce is named after Duns Scotus,
the chief and leader of the schoolmen
who were in opposition to what was
called the new learning" in the six
teenth century. 1t is easy to see how
readily convertible the term would be.
ANY opponent of the new learning
would be apt to be referred to as a
Dunsman, or. more briefly, as a Duns,
to indicate that he held the views of
which Duns Scotus was the most emf
nent representative. But as the time
went on and the new learning triumph
ed to call any one a Dunsman or a
Ounce would be equivalent to describ-
ing him not merely as opposed to a
certain set of doctrines, but as inca
pable Of learning and enlightenment
1t is certainly hard upon Duns Scotus,
as Archbishop Trench has remarked,
that he 1.-THE subtle doctor" by pre-
eminence, the "wittiest of the school
divines," as Hooker terms him, should
have his name handed down to future
ages as q synonym for invincible stu
pidity.

written a letter of commentator
of the flower mission work of our

glad that the blind workers are
so kindly remembered by the
mission. Their pleasures are few
and the fragrance and lovely

kindness will surely bring good

Ante-election propositions should
be taken with grain of salt and
considered with candor and reason.
1t not wise to jump at conclusions.
More particularly, specious promises
made by candidate to promote his
own election should be carefully ex-
amined from all view points. The
county clerk and county treasurer
are the only officers who receive any
clerk hire Suppose candidate for
either of these positions, in order to
be elected, should tell voters that if
elected he will dispense with office
help, do all the work himself, or en-
ed. Would it be wise to elect him
on such pledge? Would it be to
the best interest of the public for
him to undertake such an obligation?
Would it be wisdom on the part of an
inexperienced officer to employ an in
experienced clerk for a few days now
and them occasionally? Suppose the
officer should fall sick. Would it
not be best for the public to have a
skilled deputy right at hand and
familiar with the work of the office.
Such help cannot be picked up on a
moments notice. Such clerks do not
stand around waiting for days work
occasionally at indefinite wages.
Such work cannot be learned in an
hour. True economy is not indicat-
ed by the price paid. 1t all depends
upon the service rendered and bungl-
ing work is dear at any price. 7. r.
Moore was the last treasurer of this
county who undertook to run that
office without help. He worked al
most day and night to do it and I'M
doubleday fastened useful life to an
untimely end, we regret to say. A
candidate may needlessly promise too
much-more than is good for himself,
his family or the public. Even so
astute man as Colonel Roosevelt
repeatedly said that he would not a.
gain be candidate under any circum-
stances, and yet within a short time
he considered it his duty to reverse
himself. Finally, the officer who
does all the work of his Office should
receive all the pay. So long as the
work is well done the public doesn't
care how the salary is divided.
