Sophia mosque, Constantinopie, a poor
man lived who tried TO carry out the
Injunction, but when he kneeled, to his
chagrin, he always saw another man
who had arrived first. The fourth
morning he could restrain himself no
longer and cried out: what is the Sc
cret OF your getting to the mosque

The other man asked, How many

"You can never get 10 the mosque ear

when I wake up one brings me my
clothes, another gets my shoes, third

cooks breakfast The result is lose

and marry three other wives, and you
will know the secret OF my arriving

The poor Turk followed the advice,
aud very soon he knew why the man
with four wives got TO the mosque
first-he stayed there In preference to
staying at home.

The Retreat From Moscow.

Napolson's army for the invasion Of
Russia numbered over 4OO,0O0. Only
10000 returned. During the retreat
thousands Of horses lay groaning on
the route, while thousands OF naked
wretches were wandering like spec

sense and who only kept rseling on I'LL
frost, famine or the Cossack lance put
an end to their power Of motion. In
that wretched state no nourlshment
could have saved them. Innumerabls
dogs crouched by the bodies Of their
former masters, looking at their faces
and howling their hunger and their
loss. Besides their suffering from the
cold and for the want Of food. they
were assailed on all sides, not only by
Russian soldiers, but by peasants
through whose country they passed.
Altogether. Napoleon's retreat from
Moscow was a complication OF misery.
Of cruelty. of desolation and OF dis.
order that can never have been ex-
ceeded In the history Of mankind.

ative law for the people of Ore
gon, both present and future, we
must protect it by surrounding
it with a safeguard which will
prevent its misuse and abuse by
those who would use it for
their selfish interests to the det-
riment of the greater number of
the people of the state.
The Majority Rule amendment
will do this by driving all ordi-
nary measures of legislation into
the Legislature where they be-
long, and by driving the selfish
and pernicious measures into OBJ
livion where they, also, belong.
The Majority Rule amendment,
if passed, will reduce the num-
ber of measures on the ballot to
a sane basis by giving notice to
all that a measure in order to
stand a chance of passing must
have real merit and that there
must be an actual demand for the
same, in which case there will
be no difficulty at all in getting
a majority to vote in favor of it.
Take the time and pains to look
into the Majority Rule amend
ment and if you do, you will vote
for it and preservesthe initiative
