ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws OF Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson, for so wise
man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
of health, but that, too, may have
been part OF his wisdom. He spent
the winter Of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived In little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The smoke Of his incessant cigarettes
obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gazei
at q lion in den. Fashionable call.

The Rev. Sylvester Horne, the noted

Promoters Of Spirituality.
The old adage in regard to the way
to mans heart is regarded by some
persons as libel on masculine hui
mainly, but Deacon Sampson Of Gran
ston evidently did not regard it in
that light.
He went much farther than thu
adage, and was willing to express his
opinion at any time when it seemed
best. When the members of the
Central church were discussing the
best way to interest the young people
OF the town and bring them into
touch with church affairs, Deacon
Sampson spoke his word.
II believe in meetings." he said
firmly; nobody believes in 'em more

Some Uses for Hate.

Hate is only a passing emotion
something upon which little people
cut eye teeth. We get certain
amount OF diversion out of it and
some salutary lessons. It is probably

wasting time and from spending
forces where they are not needed.

bile for use in her business.
Within the last four years more than
one socially prominent woman has given
over the gayeties OF life In measure and
gone into real estate. and every one of
them has made good. For some reason or
other a woman is more sympathetic II
such a word can be used in conjunction
with a business. in dealing with lands
and houses than a man, the chief reason
being that every woman is or wants to be
home maker and so sees possibilities that
would escape the eyes OF a man In all that
is given into her charge 10 sell or rent.
These she can point out and enthuse upon
to the prospective buyer, and he sees that
there is more than mere talk in the hints
given about the development OF the for
lorn unfurnished house into a pretty and
comfortable home.
One young woman attributes her sue
cess as land agent 10 the fact that she
personally inspects each piece Of property
intrusted to her. walking over every path
and field, so that she will know which way
to approach It to give the best impression.
One owner went over his place with her
on her second trip Of inspection and was
surprised when she suggested that they
enter by a gate in n back field Afterward
he said he had never before realized how
beautiful the place was. II was sold soon
after to a man who had been brought in
by the back gate. and he built a new
house TO get the view he had caught from
there and which the first owner had never
considered.

No! These maddening ailments returned

There are good rail connections into
Pendleton from both regions and
there will soon be macadamized
roadways leading to this city from
each direction.
1t is a matter worth keeping in
mind and worth investigating by the
Commercial association. More than
likely a Pendleton cannery would be
extremely beneficial to the growers at
Milton and Hermiston as well as ac-
ceptable to this place. All the fruit
that is raised cannot be shipped
