Little Essay on the Moon.

The moon is certainly one queer
proposition. Scientists say 1t is moth
ing but crusty, WORKOUT, homeless
vagabond of satellite that swipes its
radiance from the sun and looks after
the tides. Poets call it a cold, ghost
ly-pale, passionless something or 9TH
er, that helps out poetic description
of the scenery. The truth is the moon
is nothing but big ball of sentimen.
tai Mysteries and just chases around
drumming up marriage licenses. Any
fellow can dodge making a proposal
until he is alone with the fair doll on
a fine moonlight night, and then he
tumbles just like Humpty Dumpty.
Another queer thing about the moon
is 1t gets full just as regular as clock
work and goes along just as steadily
as ever. 1t is supposed to belong to
night, but many day you can look
up yonder and see it swooping around
the blue just as though it owned it.
Yes, the moon is queer proposition
One might write about the green
cheese and the man in the moon, but
that would only make it harder to try
to understand just what it is.

HAS MERELY PASSING EFFECT
orstory AeeomplIshes Little, and
Much Of That Is More Evil Than
Good, Declares Writer.

We cannot look back upon the per
secution of Warren Hastings without
perceiving the injury which eloquence
inflicts upon the nation which toler-
ates it. If it be employed in the
cause of justice it should be super
fluous. If it be employed for mere
sophistry it does but make the worse
cause appear the better More evil
has been done in the world by elo-
quence than by blood and fire. For
eloquence, pluming itself upon it's own
volubility, cares nothing for the JUS
tice which it pretends is its only ex-
cuse. The one satisfaction we may
cherish is that eloquence, momentarily
powerful, is quickly transient. The
vain words of the orator die upon the
air. If they are captured by the re-
porter and set down in the GOODNESS
of print their folly is instantly dis
cernible.
So easily is the ear deceived that
the orator is not asked to make any
sacrifice to grammar or logic. Words,
gestures and rolling eyes are the ma
terials of his craft, and it matters not
how they are combined so long as
they produce an instant effect. Yet
those who are amateurs of the dan.
gerous craft might reflect that the en-
joyment of a triumph is sometimes
dearly bought by the ruin OF coun-
try or the disgrace Of a great public
servant. Mr.. Gladstone, for instance,
did more harm to the empire than
any other man of his generation, and
he did It all by the exercise of ora
tory. His speeches, devoid Of form
and thought died with the silence Of
his voice. No single human soul 10
ever likely to read them again, even
from curiosity. The few that have
been printed will molder In public II
braries with old gazettes and gather
upon their pages the dust of neglect.
Poor as they are In style, they were
interpreted by historian Of genius,
and thus did their work Of evil.
When Cicero fell his tongue was cut
out by an angry woman, and were the
same punishment inflicted upon some
other orators the world would be an
honester and a pleasanter place to
live In. Nor will castings commemo-
rative tablet have been vainly set in
Westminster hall If it be accepted as
a token not merely Of Warren Has
tings' virtue, but OF the infamy of
rhetoric misapplied. Chicago Record

SHAFTS OF FRANCE COSTLY

sent merely the brick and mortar
value of each building and monument,
AS IT," to quote the official report,
there we're a question of construct
ing them at the present day, without
taking into account the value Of the
SITE" Nor. it might be added. Of the
priceless value of the contents Of the
buildings.
AS a result of this inventory, the
whole value Of the national monu-
ments-from the Louvre itself to tho
least valuable one in the list-the me-
mortal to Marshal Ney-is 1,795,245,-
498 francs, or roughly 9359,O4S,3OO.
The most valuable item in the list is
not the Louvre, but the famous for
mer royal palace at Versailles, which,
as a building alone. is worth over
$4,000, 900.
The Louvre and what is left Of the
Tuileries represents $56,874.40O and
the famous Paris opera house, $780,
100000. One could. 1t seems, rebuild
the Pantheon for practically the same
figure, while the Luxembourg is worth
$1.025,000, and the Elysee palace, the
residence Of the president Of Paris, a
paltry $047,OOO.
Not so long ago a Frenchwoman
millionaire desired to buy the Arc de
Triomphe, which Napoleon built to
celebrate his victories, and under
which the Prussians marched into
Paris, and to remove 1t on the ground
that 1t interfered with the view from
her bedroom window. She was In
formed that the arch was not for sale.
Now 1t appears that the monument
would have cost her, as 1t stands, a.
5000.

the lady, appearing as il she might
be considerably impressed.
The agent handed over the book
and after carefully examining it and
looking through the pages the lady
handed it back.
"I don't want it young man,
she said in a peremptory tone OF
voice. "You needn't think you can
work off book like that on me. ."

wondering agent. what in the

All Sections of Oregon Urged to Pre-
pare Land Show Exhibits.
Portland, June 1O.-From all in
dications Oregon will make a better
showing in the Eastern land shows
this year than ever before. The
Oregon State immigration Commits
sion, with headquarters at the Com
mercial Club, Portland, is urging
commercial bodies of the state, as
we'll as individuals, to make suitable
exhibits which will be included in the
state display with no expense save
that of gathering the specimens and
taking them to the depot. They will
be shipped from the nearest railroad
point to Portland, assembled in a
general exhibit and will be sent east
by the commission, but each organ
ization or grower will receive full
credit for the products entered. A
circular is now being issued by the
commission giving directions for
gathering and shipping the exhibits.
Attention is called to the need for
careful packing, the selection of only
, the best specimens, and advice and
assistance is offered. 1t is pointed
out that the cooperation of all parts
of the state is necessary in order that
the agricultural wealth of Oregon
may be shown to the best advantage
and that success may be attained in
competition for prizes with the eX
hibits made by other states. 1t il
suggested that the decision to choose
exhibits for this purpose should bt
made early in the season and that {
few choice specimens from each com
munity are much better to show the
east what Oregon can grow than 4;
large quantity of sample grains
fruits and vegetables of mediocre
quality.
