rh. Two Fine Things Of Life,

Because it is an elementary thing to
do 1t requires courage to buy or build
a house. Buy? Build? The universal
head becomes a pendulum of warning.
There are just two fine things open
to most Of US between the cradle and
the grave. One is to marry and the 9th
er is to acquire home, and the mod
ern answer to both proposals is the
same, Don't" so greatly do men
fear life, so exorbitantly do they pur-
pose to enjoy 1t. Philip Gilbert Ham.

A man once visited Niagara Falls,
taking with him his wife and his
wife's sister. Immediately on arriving
and securing hotel quarters the party
set out to see the wonderful sight,
wifey and wifey's sister talking as
they walked along on a million Inter

"Say, John" said wifey, turning to
the old man after they had gone quite
distance, aren't we getting near the

The Beautiful Lyre Bird.

The largest and handsomest Of all
the song birds is the Tyre bird. Its home
is in Australia, where its song is heard
morning and evening 1t is heard
Oftener in winter than in summer
The chief beauty of the Tyre bird is in
the plumage of its tail, which is ele-
CANT and in the form Of an ancient
Tyre. While singing the Tyre bird
spreads its tail over its head like a
peacock and drOOps its wings to the
ground. This bird is not only a fine
songster, but can initiate the songs Of
all birds. One living near wood
sawyers hut even initiated the sound
of the filing of saws. The growing Of
cocks, the cackling of hens, the bark
ing of dogs and the mewing Of cats
are within its range. Its own song is
also different from that of other birds,
being a louder and fuller tone

for nothing and had spent nothing for
it. That land was worth nothing until
after the government brought water
upon it. Did the Northern Pacific
throw its land open to settlement at
nominal cost as it should have done so
as to allow settlers to get the benefit
of the government S generosity 1t did
not. 1t placed its land on the market
and sold it at prices ranging from $50
to 800 per acre and charged six per
cent interest on deferred payments.
Much Of that land is still in the des-
ert state because the prices asked by
the Northern Pacific have been too
high. The Northern Pacific which gave
the settlers nOthing-so to speak
charged them prices ranging higher
than the governments reclamation
charge and also insisted on interest. In
other words the Northern Pacific, with
what land IL held, capitalized the gov
enment' Is generosity and used it for
its own profit instead Of leaving that
benefit for settlers, After stealing the

Artificial Ears.

Artificial ears are so sklllfully made
that they may with difficulty be dis
tinguished from natural ones, 1t is said.
When the person who has lost an ear
applies to the manufacturer for sab
stitute there is made mold of the re-
naming ear II there be left any part
Of the other a mold Of that part also
must be taken to assist in the fitting
of the artificial. Manufacturers assert
that no two ears are alike and that it
takes a skillful workman to prepare an
ear from the mold or molds. When
finished. says Harper's Weekly, the
new ear is pasted on the stump or sim
ply set in the position of the lost ear.
1t is really only the first artificial ear
that is expensive, the chief cost per-
tanning to the making Of the mold.
Yulcanized rubber, which can be bent
and twisted. has been found to consti-
tute the best material for the making
of artificial ears.

Hanely. There are a few cold, plain
facts regarding the Umatilla project in
eastern Oregon, and they win through
light on the subject of who has been

The reclamation service, under the
guidance Of Director Newell, reclaimed
the project land from the desert Tho
work was done well and quickly yet
always with a view to permanency.
The reservoir is absolutely safe, the
bitches strongly built and there is am.

The Cub Reporter.

A few days ago the Rev. Billy Sunday
in denying an interview, took advantage
of the publicity given his denial to take
a sidesweep at what he designated
"some cub reporter and an old time,
Tacoma newspaper man has offered this
in reply:
''The evangelist had made some very
uncomplimentary remarks about Nine
Schumann-Heink, claiming that she
knew nothing of motherhood. Inasmuch
as the madame is the mother of only
nine children she felt that she had good
right to call the Rev. Billy, and she
did so. Then he blamed the whole
trouble on some cub reporter, rather
than admit that he did not know what
he was talking about, Of course the
{ cub reporter will manage to survive
and his pay check will no doubt come
as regularly as ever. His managing ed-
tor knows personally, no doubt, that the
cub reported Sundays sermon exactly
as Sunday delivered it. Cub reporters
are the salt of the earth. They get
things exactly right because they are,
afraid to get them any other way and
because they are always more interested
in telling what was said and done than
in saving someone's face by turning
down his intemperate and unwarranted
remarks. May the cub tribe in
crease"

The Ennlinh Ysnman.

"Yeoman" is good old English
word, the meaning Of which should
be carefully cherished, Any country
laborer or farmer is not a yeoman. A
yeoman is a man who cultlvates his
own freehold. who farms his own
land. He is no mans servant and may
hold his head as high as the squire,
There are still yeomen Of ancient
blood in England who would sniff at
the offer Of a title. One Of the finest
men l. ever knew was Dorset yeo-
man, and his ancestors had farmed
the same land for three CENTURIES

Central park is ornamentally attrac'
tive. 1t is a cozy spot for people to
exploit themselves in who have car
riages and automobiles.
It would be better for the rising gem
Grafton if it could be cut up into acre
plots and scattered through the town.
We should keep all public buildings
away from it and pasture the children
on it.
Commissioner Slower is not as careful
of the grass as some would have him,
but he has bigger heart for the little
people than he has for the lawns. In
$50 acres there ought to be room for
both.
A few days ago a little city child
who had never seen any of natures
greenness was taken to park only
eight blocks from her home.
She put her cheek to the grass and
said, "Is this flowers" There was an
effective cartoon published some time
ago. The upper part of the picture rep

flowers by lamplight. Underneath, the
same girl was represented as out on the
street carrying a basket filled with the
flowers she had manufactured during
the night, looking into florists's S win

God Pity Belmont Woman.
One word more touching the Bedford
reformatOry for unfortunate girls.
Mrs. Belmont has discharged the vials
of wrath upon the proposition to en-
large the institution by state apprO-
priation Of 100000.
She objects to raising money for re,
forming the girls on the ground that il
was wicked members of the male sex
that betrayed them.
In other words, because it was men
that damaged the girls she wants them
to stay damaged.
She blames the men for the harm
they have done, but would add to that
harm by trying to have it remain a
permanent harm.
If her child had been thrown into a
hole by a man, she would fill up the
hole and bury the child alive because
it was man that flung it in.
And that is what womanliness re
duces to by the law of suffragism.

lBH DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst. J

New York, June 14.-City kids de-
serve our sympathy.
The city is not the place to be born
in, nor the place to live in while one is
a little boy.
This fact gains emphasis from the
performance on Riverside Drive last
Wednesday when little fellow, hardly
out of long clothes, was arrested by a
policeman for spilling a shovelful OF
dirt on the sidewalks, and the parents,
along with their little three-year.Old
vandal, taken to court. Judge Fresehi,
with characteristic discretion, decided
that as against electrocuting the Grim
inal it would be better to 60 a little
easy and dismissed the case.
Now, as the case of the infant is dis
posed Of, it will be interesting to know
how Commissioner Waldo will dispose
Of the policeman.
He should be excused from further
police service on the ground of being a
mental defective and a place found for
him in some institution devoted to the
treatment Of that class of patients,
What the blue.coated arm Of the law
ought to have done for the little chap
would have been to right his upset cart,
scoop up for him his spilled gravel and
given him a kindly sympathetic word
or two about being careful to keep the
sidewalk clean.
The apparent incompetency of the po-
liceman ought perhaps to shield him
from censure and criticism be bestowed
rather upon the system that admits to
its ranks member bereft Of so ele-
mentary a capacity.
Or in the place Of that, Commissioner
Waldo might turn him over to his
brother commissioner Of the street
cleaning department, where his sense
of immaculateness would find ample
room to forage in streets lying farther
south and east.
Sympathy Due City Boys.
Surely our city kids deserve sym
pathy. In all our treatment Of their
street irregularities we ought to be con-
siderate.
A boy needs room in order to grow,
and in such town as this he does not
have il.
Boys are mischievous because there

Hughes and Ross with authority to quarantine, if found necessary, and ordered the mayor 10 act, in order 10 prevent spread of the trouble and that all might aid in wiping out the trouble About a dozen cases were then reported, most all of which were mild.
 The mayors proclamation, per instruction of Health Board and Judge Smith, closed all churches and public gatherings until further orders; however the public school and business college is permitted to continue, provided all attending pupils are vaecinated or have health certificate issued by Drs. Ross or Hughes. Yellow flags must be hung out where the small pox exists and no person is permitted to leave such premises.
