She was running across lots to
catch the 1925 train for New York. It
was precisely 1:24k and the train al
ready was painting into the station. At
her heels was youngster making as
good time as he could, and he was
crying. By the time she reached the
station steps she was good one hun

he kept at it, crying louder and loud

The conductor stood with his hand
on the signal cord while the operation
was performed, and then the train
went off, leaving the youngster happy
and smiling.-New York Sun.

Plants Have Mother Principle.

There is a mother principle alive in
all nature which never dies This is
different from the mother instinct, the
mother passion. The oak and the
amoeba respond to the mother princi-
pie. It is law of life; it is one of
the constants of being. The mother
instinct or passion, on the other hand,
occurs only among the higher ami
mails; occurs not sporadically quite,
for it is common enough, yet while
generally found, and while one of the
strongest, most interesting, most beau
tiful of animal traits, 1t is at the same
time the most individual and the least
constant.
This COW Of my neighbours that I
hear lowing is an entirely gentle crea.
ture, ordinarily, but with a calf at her
side she will pitch at anyone who ap-
proaches her. And there is no other
COW of the herd who mourns so long
when her calf is taken away. The
mother in her is stronger, more endur-
ing, than in any of the other 10 in the
barn. In my own cow it Is hardly more
than blind principle, hardly advanced
beyond the oak trees feeling for its
acorns, or the amoeba's for it's divid.

NEW LANGUAGE HAS EVOLVED
Americans In the Philippines Have
Departed IN Large Measure From
Familiar Tongue.

| Fifteen years ago the American flag
first foated over Malay archipelago
In the far Pacific. Spanish was the
j current speech among the upper class
es there. The common people spoke a
dozen different dialects-unintellig
| one to the other.
We came, saw and possessed, and,
shortly after the flag, boatloads OF
teachers arrived with the school books
/ and pedagogy Of the west.
The teachers brought American lit
erature with them. They brought
American songs, American games,
American ideas and American ideals
and they brought the American man
ner of speech.
Meanwhile reflex action was quiet
~ at work. Without realizing it the
newcomers were being Influenced by
/ the new land and the new people.
New methods of living were en-
forced on the Americans. Their rules
of health did not always apply. Day
after day they were surrounded by
people observing strange customs, fol-
lowing totally different moral code
and speaking an unfamiliar tongue.
Gradually the customs became less
strange, the moral code less different
and the tongue less unfamiliar While
endeavoring to establish their ways
and methods, the Americans uncon-
sciously were yielding to the ways and
methods of the country.
Many things of great value in the
old order had no place in the new. In
particular the old manner of speech
often failed to convey the meaning in
tended.
| The Americans daily encountered
| things they had no names for. They
met conditions which could not be apt
ly described in their own tongue The
Filipino obligingly furnished the name
or expression from some one of his
vernaculars and it passed into the cur.
rent speech of the American.
Then certain officials, trades, articles
of clothing and food that had names in
English would be repeatedly referred
to by the Filipinos in their own dia-
lect when they talked with their teach
ers. Gradually the teachers came to
use the same expressions.
We have been a separate nation
from England for over 100 years and
our Americans have been in the Phil
ippines only Is. Yet the language
spoken by Americans differs more
from United States English than does
the English of London.-American Re-

Value of Annreciation.

To know that we are disappoint-
ment to our friends has paralyzing
effect on our energies, and there are
many people in the world who have
failed simply from want of encourage
ment and appreciation. We feel it our
duty to find fault where blame is
merited, but are not nearly so careful
to acknowledge work well done, or to
show gratitude for services willingly
performed. 1t is the dumb,
silent folk who most appreciate warm
hearted words and actions. What
much brighter world it would be If we
were more generous in this respect;
how happy we might make our friends
If we gave them the benefit Of our 10y
ing thoughts instead of locking them
tightly in our own breasts.-Jessie de

What do you get out of domestic

That sounds interesting. Supposing
you had household now, how would
you proceed to manage it?'
OF course, it would all depend on
the household. One wouldn't expect
to manage a $20-a-week household in
the same way that a $1O,OOO-a-year

GERMANS HAVE FINE
PROGRAM ON SUNDAY

Members of the Pendleton Deutsche
Verin We're entertained at German
Hall yesterday by the Deutsche Verin
for that neighborhood and the day
was devoted to a general social time
with a ball game, dancing and music
as the chief features of amusement
The game was a struggle between
the Irish and the Dutch and it was a
triumph for the Dutch. regardless of
the current and widespread theory
that the Irish are the natural ball
players of the world. The Irish"
team was made up from Pendleton
and the battery consisted of Stewart,
Phelps and Penland. other players
were Waffle Strahorn. Hoch, Cur
dane. Wilson and Hays. For the
Dutch" the battery was Struve and
Kilgore. Joe Ell was the umpire and
rendered decisions that would have
made Conny Starkell turn pale.
The final score was - to / in fa-
vor of the Dutch" and there were
more sensati tional plays lin the game
than the Tri-state league has shown
throughout the whole season. The
single run for the Irish was made
on a homerun by Strahorn.
The local people left here at $3.50 in
hospitality of their German Hall
friends during the day returned in
the evening.

R. R. WANTS CITY
TO TAKE Is YEAR
LEASE ON BLOCK

Though the O.-W. r. * y. will not
adopt the plan suggested by Agent 7.
+. O'Brien for the improvement of the
vacant block near the depot the COM
pany has made to the city, through
Mr.. O'Brien proposal that amounts
to the same thing. The new offer Is
that the city take a 10 year lease up
on the vacant block. without remun-
Grafton to the railroad save that the
city agree to maintain the parking. If
the city should take up with this Of
fer the block could be leased to con-
cessionaries this fall and sufficient
money secured TO put the ground into
shape.
The original plan Of Mr. O'Brien
wais to turn the block over to the
civic club, giving that organization the
right to lease the land this fall for
money raising purposes. However,
General Manager O'Brien to whom
the matter was referred recently pre-
fers to lease the block to the city,
owing to the fact the railroad has met
with difficulty elsewhere when 1t has
carried on such negotiations with-civic
clubs.
The county fair board, through the
secretary Major Moorhouse, is pro-
testing against the plan to improve
the block owing to the fact the fair
wishes to retain its old privilege Of
leasing the block for revenue raising
purposes. 1t Is represented that the
right to lease the block during the
fair and Roundup means about $1,000
each year to the fair.

LEFT TRAIN WHILE
MENTALLY DERANGED

That Carl Swanson, while apparent
ly temporarily deranged from asthma
and severe headache, left the train
at Eads, Colorado, while enroute to
Kansas City, and wandered for sew
eral days in the country about Eads
is the substance OF letter Mrs. Swan
son has received from L. II. Strait,
railroad agent at the Colorado town.
According to the letter Mr.. Swan
son was seen to get off the train at
Ea1s and to leave the town on foot
the following morning. A few days
later he was brought back to Eads
and seemingly had lost his reason and
was found wandering around upon
the prairie. When questioned he gave
'ery rambling and conflicting answers
When shown the contents of his suit
case which had been found he asserted
he had never seen the contents be-
fore. Later he left that station aboard
an eastbound train.
Mrs. Swanson has had further in
formation from relatives in Kansas
bearing out the theory that the local
carpenter was temporarily unbal-
anced When he appeared at Mar
quette, Kansas, to visit sister he
acted in a strange manner. 1t seems
probable that he had partly lost his
reason after leaving Pendleton and
the trouble may have resulted from
the asthma and a severe headache he
had when he departed from this town.
There was no good reason why he
should have left the train at Eads
or elsewhere as he had a trip ticket
to Kansas City and ample money for
his expenses.

DISCREDITED STORY
OF GARDEN OF EDEN

Portland. ore. June 16.-Miss Jane
Stearns. science teacher at the Wash
ington high schoo, here is busy ex-
planning what she meant by telling
her pupils that the Biblical story of
Adam and Eve is myth handed down
in Jewish tradition until 1t found a
place in the book of Genesis. When
one miss declared she would still
cling to the tale of the dust and the
rib. the teacher explained that this
story at best was symbolical in the
light of scientific discoveries. The
pupils went home and told their par
ents. who loudly protested
