WHERE THEY STEAL WIVES.

From the time that a Bedouin is
eighteen years of age until he dies
OF old age he Is more or less looking
out for new wives. By law Moham-
medans are never allowed to have
more than four at the same time, but
they easily evade this regulation by
divorcing one, which simply means
sending her back to her parents. This
Is often because she has borne him
no sons. So 1t happens that the old
sheikhes almost always have young
wives. 1t is considered eliminate
for a man to show the least affec-
ton towards his wives, at least OPEN
~. One of the young sheiks of the
Adwans, Mouthafy, who recently lost
his young and only wife, acknowledge
ed to be the prettiest girl in the tribe,
shed tears at her grave. For this he
was much laughed at by his COM
panions, who said, "If a mans wife
dies he can easily procure himself an
other" But for a deceased father,
brother, or even a mother, they think
1t does not show weakness to mourn,
because from where could he get an
other? This seeming Indifference to
women has undoubtedly grown out OF
the false idea the men entertain that
to express appreciation of them would
be weak and unmanly. From per-
sonal observation I know that the
Bedouins, in private, treat their
wives with more consideration than
is generally shown among orientals
especially so IL they have borne sons

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

Your outlook may not be as bright
AS other outlooks sometimes are;
Some gentle maid may have, last
night,
Declined to be your guiding star;
You may have little in your purse,
The hair may whiten on your brow,
But even so, things might be worse
You're not a Manchu, anyhow.
1t may be that you have a son
Who does not gaze on you with
awe;
1t may be that you're on the run
Because you have transgressed the
law;
You may be forty-five and so
A down-and-outer, even now;
Be not at all discouraged, hough-
You're not Manchu, anyhow.
Be cheerful, though your lot is not
What might be called happy one;
brought
To you a dimpled little son;
You may not claim the proud de-
light.
That fills the self7made millionaire,
But bravely cling to hope; you might
Be sitting in a dentists chair
1t may be that you do not know
How your next meal shall be se-
cured;
Your step may be infirm and slow
Because of ills you have endured; f;
The locks that once bedecked your
brow
May be no longer dangling there;
But hope on bravely, anyhow
Unless you're in a dentists chair.
You may have labored hard and long
And be entitled to success,
And still be moving with the throng,
Unknown, unseen and penniless;
With luck you might have risen
high,
But why be dismal or dismayed
Why let tear bedim your eye
Unless you've been restraining
trade
You may possess the talent which
Should win for you lasting fame
And yet be digging in the ditch
While few men ever speak your
name;
You may begin the year in debt,
Your bones may ache, your clothes
|. be frayed,
But why permit yourself to fret
Unless you've been restraining
trade
1t may be that the morning brings
No ray Of happiness to you;
Perhaps you have been robbed OF
things
That should be for the favored few;
You may be hungry, poorly clad

A GAME BOTH COULD PLAY.

One whose ear has been trained to
read intelligently the click of a tele-
graph instrument sometimes puts this
training to the test under strange
conditions. An instance, which re-
suited in embarrassment, apologies,
and finally in a pleasant acquaint-
anceship among the persons concern
ed. is told by a certain Ohio farmer
who spent his early years in the en-
ploy of the Western Union Telegraph
company.
Some years after impaired health
had driven him from the telegraph
office to the farm he and his wife
were spending a short vacation in the
south. While they were dining in a
hotel in Memphis two young men en-
tered and seated themselves at the
same table with the coupl efrom the
west.
After a survey of the strangers, one
of the youths took UP his fork and
tapping 1t in an apparently careless
way against the edge of his plate,
spelled out in the Morse code:
"Do you think they are bride and
groom
Eyes, surely" tapped his compan-
ion. Just see how soft they are"
Immediately, to the dismay of the
young men, the fork or the supposed
bridegroom Joined in the conversa-
ton. With great rapidity he tapped
out:
Gentlemen, you are mistaken. We
have been married five years and
have three children" Com
panion.

of the most popular of our young Of
ficers in the army maneuvers at -
during 1910. He had served in the
cavalry and had brought with him

campaign hat turned up in front and
rear, and is sal dto have slept in his
spurs. Our lieutenant colonel, whose
treatment of younger officers had
made hi mmost unpopular, was then
in command of the regiment

onel's tent while the old man was
standing out in front looking for trou-
BILE. He spotted X and sent his or
derly for him Mister X, said the
colonel as Johnny saluted and brought
his heels together with the approved

touch of the outre about YOU why,

taken; I haven't had a drink since

over the United States. The assets
behind the bond issue are now re-
ported at $4,000, and no more.
Reclamation of arid lands near
Kennewick. Washington. was the pro-
ject. But the title TO the lands still
rests with the government under the
desert land act. Twelve hundred and
fifty acres of lands have been sold to
settlers at $3.50 per acre. The water
has not even been placed on the land
The company's bonds, of one hundred
dollar denomination. are reported to
b. selling as low as 1915, and even
down to rs cents.
Settlers who have gone on the
land are represented as in destitute
circumstances. One settler traded his
home as first payment on forty acres
of land at $3.50 an acre. Both home
and land are lost. A number of other
settlers are in similar circumstances.
THE injury to the northwest by
such operations is almost irreparable
1t creates distrust among distant cap
italists respecting northwest securi-
ties. 1t makes prospective settlers
afraid of irrigation projects. 1t re-
tards and makes unsteady the back
tc-the land movement.
The whole transaction is a crime
against the northwest. 1t is a crime
against bond-buyers 1t is a crime
against settlers. 1t is a crime against
honesty"
1t is because private irrigation
schemes frequently fail that many
people prefer to see the government
dc reclamation work. One of the rea-
sons why many people want to see
the government carry out the West
Extension is that they have confidence
} in government work
Should the West Extension be
undertaken by the government the
} work will be carried out and it viii
be thoroughly done. Mistakes may b,
made and some injustices may b,
worked here and there. But the mis-
takes and the injustices will be moth
ing compared with the shortcoming
that might arise should private par
I ties try to do the work.

GOVERNMENT WORK BEST.

The task of reclaiming the deserts
of the west and of making them hab-
table is work that can best be done
by the United States government.
Criticism may be made, it is true, of
the manner in which the government
may move at times. But as a general
thing governmental irrigation is far
superior to private irrigation. The
government has the means with which
to do good work and it does good
work. 1t does it promptly and it is
d!sinterested work. The aim is to give
the settlers the benefit of the work
not to make some promoters rich.
There are good private projects too
but many of them are shamefully
bad. An instance of a private irri-
cation enterprise that fell down" is
now at hand In commenting upon it
last evening the Journal expressed the
following pointed sentiments:
THE worst enemies of the Pacific
northwest are the shoestring irriga-
ton companies, the wildcat orchard
companies, the phony land companies,
and other bogus corporations.
I'VE have no grasshopper scourges.
We have no drouths. We have no
severe extremes of winter and sum
mer. We have no cyclones. Nature
has been almost over-kind.
But, temporarily, we have dizzy
financiers. The Washington, Orchard
Irrigation & Fruit company, is an ex-
ample. The Columbia River Orchard
company is another. One corpora
ton was an adjunct of the other The
Oregon Washington Trust company

THE HEATHEN AT HOME.

A news report from Washington
says that John r. Mclean, Ohio mil
lionaire, has purchased the famous
Hope diamond for $3.50, 600 and that
Mrs. Mclean is to wear the gem at
a reception to be given in honor of
Russian Ambassador Bakhmeteff. The
story further sets forth that for the
entertainment of so guests at the re-
ception the McLeans will spend $3O,-
geo.
While such things as this are going
on this country is sending high mind
ed men and women to foreign shores
to civilize the heather. What a shame
when in the very capital of the coun-
try there are barbarians that need
their services. why try to get the
natives of Guam to take the rings
from out their noses and be decent
when there are society DANES in Am
erica more gaudy than they?
America needs a society dedicated
to the idea of teaching the over rich
that hospitality is not matter of ex-
pense; that real culture is a quality
of the mind and heart rather than OF
the pocket book and that its light can
not be seen in its richest glory when
surrounded by rocks that blaze like
locomotive headlights.
