Mother Natures Temple.

(By Mary Agnes Daily, Talent, Ore. }
Sitting here meath a dropping
white willow tree, with the odor of
bruised wormwood and fragrant pine
boughs, like incense, permeating the
morning air, have but to close my
eyes for moment, whisper "Open
sesame" then open them again, and
behold! ] see before me Mother Ma
ture's great outdoor temple, which
no architect can hope to duplicate,
and no artist dream to equal in the
matter of overhead and mural decora-
tion.
Leave your busy strife for a day
and come away with me to this lovely
temple. If you are not already a
devout worshipper you will presently,
I'll vouch for that. Let us start early
say just as the sun peeps over the
hills. In doing this we shall miss
nothing.
This temple is large; we will not
be restricted in our movements.
There are no walls to obstruct our
view. We are abroad early, therefore
we hear the morning hymns of praise
from myriads of little feathered
throats. We see little gray rabbits
hopping about fearlessly, stopping
now and again to nibble bits of juicy
grass. mo destroyer" say they,
would be abroad so early" Pheas-
ants, quail and robins, all friends of
man, busy themselves in his behalf
while gathering tempting morsels for
their breakfast. Let us shoot them,
but not with guns. A camera is a
better weapon. We can then take
home with us something which we
can display proudly, without shame
or regret.
Let us gaze about us at this Won
derful structure, while we allow our
inner nature free rein to worship and
to pray. The dome of this magnifi-
cent temple is deeply blue, o'erspread
with a curtain of filmy white mist.

for his turn, instead of pushing and
crowding, showing that he was honest
and orderly. When l talked to him
| noticed that his clothes were care
fully brushed, his hair in nice order,
and his teeth as white as milk; and
when he wrote his name l noticed
that his finger-nails were clean, in

that handsome little fellows in the

Girls, Get On the Right Track!
Young ladies cheaper themselves
by lack of purpose in life. You show
commendable zeal in pursuing your
studies; your alertness in compre-
hending and ability in surmounting
difficult problems have become pro-
verbal; nine times out of ten you
outrank your brothers thus far; but
when the end is attained, the goal
reached whether it be the graduating
certificate from a graded school, or
a college diploma, for nine out of
every ten it might as we'll be added
thereto dead to further activity, or
sleeping until marriage shall resur-
rect her." (If you should marry, are
true to the grand passion and accept
with it poverty, you bake, brew,
scrub, spank the children and talk
with your neighbor over the back
fence for recreation, spending the
years literally like the horse in
treadmill, and all this for the lack of
a purpose.) Choose some one course
or calling and master it in all its de-
tails-sleep by it, swear by it, work
for it and, if marriage crowns you,
1t can but add new glory to your
labor.
Juvenile Concert.
The great Horace Greeley was dead
set against high school and college
graduates and his daily prayer was
to be delivered from them, and it is a
refreshing sight at any time Of life
to meet with individuals who with
talent II not positive genius possess
the gift Of saying to his neighbor,
60 thou up higher and I will take
the lower and less conspicuous seat"
This overweening conceit Is by no
means restricted to any one walk in
life, as the following small passage
alarms demonstrates:
"Sir, you have been to college, /
presume?" asked an illiterate but
boastful exhorter of q clergyman.
'Yes, SIR" was the reply. T an
said the exhorter, that

HIGH PRICES FOR PELTS OF
COYOTES.

If the ranchers and sheep growers
had their wish, there would be no
Coyotes in North America. The
ranchers and sheep growers think
that the only thing Coyotes were
made for is to kill cattle and sheep.
This is wrong impression. The
Coyotes must have some other callin
in life or the good book missed
fire" when it said: Nothing was
made in VAIN My opinion of it,"
says Mr.. A. B. SHUBERT, President
of A. B. SHUBERT, INC, Chicago,
U. S. A, the largest house in the
world dealing exclusively in Ameri-
can Raw Furs, lis that the Coyote
Is here to give up the ghost and sur
render his pelt to the furrier, who
by the way, makes good use OF the
good Coyote pelt, but has little use
for the poor ones. The better grades
OF Coyote are being dressed and dyed
and used in imitation of Fox, and
on account OF the great popularity
of the animal scarf, Coyotes are in
strong demand and bringing higher
prices than ever before. The Coy
ote is the only fur-bearer that can
be used in imitation OF fox" :" ~ .~a
The European war created an out
let for the poorer grades of Coyote
and they are being used for coat lin
i1gs for the man behind the gun and
in the trench. The skin is large
and requires but little work-it an
ewers the purpose. >.. "
Seventy-five per cent OF the best
grades of the collection of the Coy
ote OF the Northwest are used In
America. Our manufacturers know
better how to use them and our dy-
ers dye them better than the Euro
p:ans. We make better and more
attractive articles out OF the Coyote
than are produced anywhere. A soft,
silky Coyote, dressed and dyed, and
made into an animal scarf can hardly
be distinguished from a fox except
by ali expert so trappers should get
after the Coyote and trap as many as
they can, as the present high price
for this article will pay them we'll
for their time and efforts.

FRIENDS WANT HiNDMAN.

A petition is in circulation, and be-
ing quite generally signed asking the
board of supervisors to re-appoint
Charles NJ Hindman as county en-
gineer. 1t will probably be present
ed to the new board when it is or
ganiZed after January lst. Mr.. Hind
man was discharged from hsi position
as many of his friends feel, without
Just cause, and they are making a
fight, as they state, not against the
present incumbent, but for the pur-
pose of making right what they
consider to have been a wrong. Ar.
Hindman has hosts of friends in Yu-
ma county, and his conduct as en-
gineer was never called into ques-
ton as far as it pertained to his
integrity and ability The new board
which will probably have to pass up
on the petition will be composed of
Ike Proebstel, F. e. Elliott and J. n.
Shanssey. Who will be chairman OF
this board is not known, as the Gus
tom in Yuma county is for the board
to elect it's own official head.-Yuma

GOOD DEAL OF A NUISANCE
irons OF the Telephone Are
Subjected To.

In the American Magazine an ndig-
nant writer objects to supplying free
telephone facilities to the entire coun-
tryside. This letter gives Il good ex
ample Of the outrageous demands that
thousands of country people make up
on their neighbors every day. .
We don't object to paying for our
neighbor's telephone convenience" re-
marks the writer. It's being reused
out of our first sound sleep at night
or, worse yet, the last delicious snooze
in the morning-that we seriously OBJ
ject to.
Its putting on our golOshes and
raincoat and wading quarter Of
mile through slush just to ask Mrs. x.
to please step to the phone. It's com.
ing back and finding Jack, Jr., stuffing
Baby Betty with popcorn to tell Mrs
Y. that Mrs. X. is not at home
Briefly, then, to cut short tragic
story, | never put baby in her tub, pie
in the oven or lather my scalp with
tar soap that | do not have to enter
tain neighbor who just ran in to
phone and who remained hours to Cos
sip.
But the proverbial last straw was
added when newcomer, a compare
tive stranger to US, asked if | would
mind putting the key under the mat
when we went out SO she could tele-
phone her husband The part that
rankles is that did!
Matters have come to a crisis and
but one of two courses is open to US.
he first is to sell our home, since q
telephone is business necessity with
us, and move to teiephone-equipped
neighborhood. The second and prac-
tically decided upon course OF action
is to inclose with glass small square
porch opening off the dining room and
turn it into telephone booth for the
use Of our neighbors."

familiarity; he Is as patronizing sas a
rooster who scratches worms for the
hens, and then eats them before his

WHAT HAPPENED IN OHIO

he tried to explain Ohio by saying
the G. o. P. state committee refused
to avail itself of the services of Wal
ter Brown, formerly Progressive
committeeman for Ohio. The truth is
that while Walter is a good fellow
socially, he cuts little ice in. Ohio po-
iticaIly, and what he did or didn't do
had no appreciate result in Ohio.
The newspaper with thelargest circu-
Iation in each of the following cities,
Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Co.
Iumbus and Akron, supported Wilson
and refused to run the hard-times
publicity of the G. o. P. national
committee. And they didn't say a
word against the so-called German
Americans, from whom Wilson got
as big a vote as Hughes. Where
German-Americans were not abused
as aliens, they acted just like other
good Americans and followed their
political convictions in voting. And

those on the farms largely took the

COCHRAN'S COMMENT
The HOYNE NOTE.-The final

lElE TN INE w G. uC ulld4
vote for states attorney was as fol-
lows: Hoyne, 242,847; Miller, 1885,
40; Guinea, 1862: give these fig
ures now to show that I was right in
saying, during the campaign, that
Guinea had no chance and that the
race was between Hoyne and Miller.
Believing that, 1 considered HOyne
much to be preferred over Miller and
did what I could for HOyne. Had the
labor vote that went to Hoyne gone
to Guinea, Miller would have been
elected. However, the best thing
about Hoyne's election is that it was
a non-partisan victory. He wasn't
elected because he happened to be,
Democrat, but in spite of that fact.
His obligation as a public servant is
to ALL of the people of Chicago, in
stead of party organization.
