London's uilliners have devised
some new "collapsible" hats, of which
one of the most stylish is the turban
hat in soft white felt trimmed with a
large feather. 1t can be twisted round
and made perfectly fat the feather
folding over neatly on the top. Col
lapsible headgear with a body oil
straw adorned with an osprey feather
and large bow is also on sale and can
be folded up into very small space
Another good thing about these hats
from the mems point of view, is that
they range in price from $1.S7 to $21.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

A gentleman remarked to US that
the true theory Of life was to get on
the admiration side, and not on the
cynical and objurgatory side OF hIe'
We believe that is sensible. LOOK
on the bright side and If there Is no
bright side FURNISH up the dark side,
is a little quotation that we put IN our
notebook more than score OF years
ago. It is good gospel. 1t is the doc
trine Of hope, says the Ohio state
Journal. Grumbling at everything Ii
unchristian. 1t will condemn man
as sure as profanity or lying. the
Bible says: But let all those that put
their trust in thee, rejoice" There ID
philosophy for this. A person cannot
do any good in a bad spirit. II one
hates a man he cannot reform him.
Every good thing that man does
pulls some evil up by the roots. Good
deeds grow by smiles as the wheat
grows by the sunshine. Boost the
good and the bad will have poor
chance. 1t is right to curb the evil
II one does not waste all his strength
vt it, SO that he will have to sit down
and lose heart. There is no final de-
feat in an honest. sincere effort. and
that is the doctrine of the upward
look and the bright sido OF life.

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp Of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session In
December last, l write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
Of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-placing
itself on firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
OF insurance Is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely, the laws Of
nature-or prescribes for its mem
bers either fiat rate, irrespective Of
the age of its members, or any other
rate that Is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when It must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries Of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tificate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he says:
'Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
a sound basis they have much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea, by reason Of its long experience
with large membership, Is permitted
to make rate upon its own expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table. which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance Is
not a matter of mortality tables OF
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share Of that
cost. Members who think Of drop
ping their insurance will do well to
take enough time to study the ques
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves ant
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
ut is unpleasant for the members
OF the Modern Woodmen Society Il
have to pay more for their insurance
but let them think how much more un
pleasant It would be for those 5000
600 women and children, or any o
them, to be deprived Of that protec
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"

A woman in a aMassachusetts town
left $500 to encourage spinsterhood.
From all accounts such encourage

benefits of the legacy.

In boasting of our superior intelli-
gence and civilization, 1t is well to
temper our pride with the reflection
that hunts for gas leaks with lighted
candles, eagerness to invest in any
thing which promises to pay $50 per
cent. and efforts to hasten the fire by
pouring kerosene upon kindling wood
are still common practices in our civ
ilized centers.

URGES CHLoRoFORM
INSTEAD OF HANGING
Warden of Baltimore Prison Says 1t
Could BE Used I'm Cell Without

Could BE Used In Cell Without
Show.
Baltimore.-That death by the ad
ministration of chloroform would be
an excellent substitute for hanging in
the punishment of persons convicted
of murder was the. suggestion made
by Warden Weyler of Baltimore to
the committee of Maryland legisla-
tors who inspected the penitentiary.
Warden Weyler opposed the inflic-
ton of the death penalty in any form
and advanced the chloroform idea as
probably the most painless method of
capital punishment He suggested
that the punishment could be inflict-
ed in the cell OF the condemned man
without any Of the spectacular fea-
lures usually surrounding executions.
The idea seemed TO impress indi-
vidual members of the committee for
cib,y. There is now before the legis-
lature bill to do away with hanging
and to substitute electrocution. The
bill provides however that the place
OF execution shall be in the peniten-
tiary instead of at the city Jail and
against this Warden Weyler advanc-
ed urgent reasons.

Indiana Man Remains With the Mon.

Bloomington, Ill-Theodore Thra-
ser, &c years old, of Monroe county,
assisted in building the Monon rail-
road through the county in the SOS
and has been continuously in the en-
ploy of the road since that time.
He is now station agent at smith
vile, and in the more than sixty years
he has been with the road he has
missed but two weeks fro mduty, and
that was in 1899, when he was suf-
fering from erysipelas.
Thrasher laid crossties and drove
spikes on the road. which was the
first built through the county. When
the road was finally completed he
was appointed station agent at Smith
vile, and he has held that position
believed it reflects his present views.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Robert Aspin-

to marry Mrs. Mary Pope 60, but be-
fore the prospective bride would sign
her name to the application she turn
ed to her aged wooer and asked:
Robert, are you willing to keep
your promise that you will not run
around nights after we are married ?"
When he had promised Mrs. Pope
explained to the marriage license
clerk:
'I>have been married twice before,
and my other husbands used to wan
der from their own firesides. I am
getting a little old now and 1 don't
propose to be alone at night"
Mr.. Aspinwall said that he also had

didn't care to run around much any

UP to the postoffice department to

from the ownership of eggs laid in

The National Association of Poultry

ed of Postmaster Gcneraf Hitchcock
if poultry might be sent through the

department answered that, should the
parcels post measure be enacted, there
would probably be no objection 10

shipping the fowls, stamped. The
postmaster general, however, was of
the opinion that some one would have
to be delegated to look out for the
we'll being of the "perishable mali
and then some one raised the ques-
ton of the ownership of the eggs laid
by the hens while in Uncle Sans
care.
Would they belong to the sender
of the hens; to the receiver of the
hens, or to the government
There not being any legislation al
ready enacted upon the subject, the
postmaster general delegated Jesse
Suter, chief of the bureau Of infor'
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-02-16

nation of the postoffice department
to look into the matter. Jesse, after
several days spent in a vain search
through dusty tones on postal laws
and regulations, has about decided to
give up the job for he says there are
no precedents. Therefore, it will be
up to the courts to decide the own
ership of any offspring of the fowls.
Like the freight agent in Ellis
Parker Buffers Pigs Is Pigs" Suter
thinks the eggs ought to be given to
the mail clerks or be confiscated by
the government as an aid in further
decreasing the deficit which is the
| bugbear of the department.
