THE PRESIDENTS GIFTS.

Those scandal mongers who know so
much authentic" news about affairs
connected with the Government, and
President Wilson in particular, will
scarcely feel much citation over the
publication of the list of gifts sent
to Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson while they
were abroad The list contains moth
ing of value whatever, beyond a few
laces and one lace pin set with small
chip diamonds. The entire collection
would not bring on it's actual merit
more than the sum of few thousand
dollars, though, on account of the as
ISOLATION, they might bring more than
that at public SALE 1t is small indeed
to go around retailing such things as
were said about the millions in
gifts given to "The Wilson's
The Hobbies at Washington fairly
reeked with this malicious gossip, and
one daring antagonist of the President
introduced a bill requesting Mr.. Will
son to declare" the value of the gifts.
Senator Penrose said he had heard the
gifts were worth millions and Sena-
tor Sherman spoke with derision of
"a President of the common people
who would dare come home with half a
million in gifts" AS one New York
paper has it, this wretched snarling
had to stop somewhere, and Secretary
Tumulty finally put stop to it by
publishing what was really received by
the President and Mrs. Wilson.
A similar sort of lying gossip was
started about Mr.. Baruch who went to
Paris for the Peace Conference. 1t
seems that a sum of $3.50 900 was at the
disposal of Mr.. Baruch for certain
necessary committee expenses. Think
of a rich man billeting himself on the
Government in this way! When was
such extravaganza to stop? Then in
a spirit of fair play, Senator Thomas
presented and had printed in the Con-
greSSi0ndl Record a full accounting by
Mr.. Baruch. From this it appears,
taken a cent for any of his personal ex-
penses. To meet charges incurred for
others, he has paid out of his own peck
ct some $4,000, for which he has had
no reimbursement. Going back to the
allotment of $150,000, this. was to be
used for organizing commissions and
employing few experts. But the
total laid out amounted to less than
$4,000, so that 1.-The uneXpended bal
ance of the allotment will be $125, 1885,
&C."
What a feeling of little-mindedness
must be felt when one is impelled by
lack of conscience to attack man in
this abominable fashion.

OCTOBER A SHRINE.

October may, with justice, in the
smile be called the jewel month of
the year. 1t is a period when nature
is in her richest mood; when her choic-
est colors are spread upon the palette
of hill and dale; when the scheme of
jewelmaking is hung upon tuft and
shrub; when the morning rays of the
sun glisten in tints that put to blush
all that the art of man can paint in
time when color riots break forth to
dazzle the eye and confuse the imagi-
nation. Look where one will or may,
the shades of red and brown and yell
low are all-pervading. The hickory is
in rivalry with the yellow glow of the
evening hour; the oak tints to the hue
of maiden's cheek; the gum almost
outdoes the rainbow. Then the buckle
berry and the aZalia-these are the
jewel shrubs, with glints of opal, ruby,
topaz, garnet and beryl fairly blazing,
till they light up the swampy places in
colors so wonderful that one stands
amazed in wonder that such things
can come from just tiny leaf and stalk
Was there ever anything so wonderful
and alluring to the heart that loves it,
as this thing of October color? From
whence it comes we know not; the
why of its existence we cannot fathom
We only see and know that it is. We
cannot solve it's motive nor understand
its mysteries. But is there man with
reason that does not stand in wonder
ing awe and admiring gaze at blaz-
ing October ash? These trees flash in
the sunlight like a glow of heaven in
the meadow or hillside. And so on
through the scale of color, with tints
of heavenly gorgeousness reckoning
us on, we follow through the woods
and can only feel the presence of some
mystical power that creates such
beautiful pictures that we would
trample under foot in our ignorance,
but thta they compel obeisance. 1t is
Gods work. and just His way of i'm
pressing His power and holding up
His Divine being before our eyes, that
we may see and be better men. O.,
October! More than jewel MONTH
thou art Gods shrinei

TO BE NEW WORLDS WONDER
Japanese at Work on Statue of ST.
Nichiren, Cutting 1t From
the Solid Rock.

On the Isle of Cows Head. in that
beautiful inland sea, which has been
called the Mediterranean of Japan.
ledge of rock -overlooks the water, and
here a small army of Japanese work.
men are busy at the first cuttings that
will eventually carve out the largest
statue In the world. The Colossus OF
Rhodes, at one time one of the seven
wonders of the world, is said to have
been 100 feet high-a small thing COM
pared with the figure Of Liberty that
stands 151 feet above its pedestal In
New York harbor-but the japanese
statue will be of even greater magni-
tude. Following the line Of the natu-
raj rock it will be a reclining figure
24O feet long, and therefore that much
more impressive than the Buddha at
Pegu, Burma, which from head to foot
measures 1872 feet. The Isle of the
Cows head is private property, and
this Brobdingnagian adornment is a
work of private enterprise. The re-
clining figure will be that of st. Nichi-
rem. who founded the sect of Buddhism
that bears his name. In the wooden
model the saint lies asleep, facing who
ever sees him, his head pillowed on a
block, and his left arm extended
along his side; somewhat archaic fig
ure, yet with considerable realism.
For the enormous statue that Is to be
cut out of the solid rock from the
model the trees and greenery of the
Isle of the Cows head will provide an
excellent setting.

Keeps Of Potato Bugs.

And now comes prophet, VINO
arises in Missouri. and has published
In a number of papers the following
news for the especial benefit of those
who detest to chase the elusive potato
bug: "If a soup bean or two Is
dropped into each hill of potatoes
when they are planted the potato bug
will not bother them, and besides your
crop of potatoes you will get one Of
beans as well. There Is one farmer
who has tried this experiment for five
years and has never been bothered
with bugs while his neighbors lost
their crops. The bugs don't like the
smell of the beans for some reason"

But None Came.

Late the other night on street car
a soldier was going home for the first
time. He was happy and proud. And
his reason for being proud: there was
q wound stripe on his right arm.
One man said to him; where were
YOU wounded?" The soldier replied ::
81 was hit in the back with C piece
of she'll" The man gave a short laugh
and said: "A funny place to get hit !;
which way were you going"
1t is needless to say that the soldier
hit the man and here is what the sol
der said: "If there are any more of
YOU fellows thinks that a Yank ever
ran, | can change your mind for you"

Lost Arms Without Pain,

Our story Of a man being blown
away. unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which he did not hear must seem
incredible to many people. Here is
something like an analogy.
King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rustem Pasha, who
had had half his right hand and part
of his arm torn off by bear. and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow munched
away by tiger.
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge Of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses. - London

ed through some process unknown, re-
veals condition of police mismanage-
ment hardly commensurate with the
boasts the present administration has
long made about how efficient the sys-

crime was so apparent, it would seem
that at least somebody could have act
ed. 1t was a long time before anybody
yawned, stretched and then went out
to hunt up the principal in the case.
And then to think of headquarters be-
ing locked up at 7.30 a m. One would
scarcely believe the paragon Mayor

Rismarck's Wine Thirst.

In his choice of drinks Bismarck
displayed somewhat unpatriotic
spirit. Talking to Mr.. John Booth in
1879, Bismarck confessed that when
stationed at st. Petersburg, he used to
drink two bottles of champagne a day.
He estimated that altogether he had
drunk 5000 bottles of champagne and
smoked 100000 cigars.
On another occasion Bismarck de-
clared that beer makes men stupid,
lazy and useless. 1t is responsible for
the democratic nonsense spouted over
the tavern tables. A good rye whisky
is very much better"

BLUE BACK SALMON
RETURN TO WALLOWA

For the first time in q years blue
back and Chinook salmon are running
in the streams of Wallowa county.
Residents of the county are pleased
and greatly excited over the return
of the fish to a once popular running
place.
Blue back and Chinook salmon
were planted in the headwaters of
the Wallowa county streams four
years ago. Salmon return to their
Matching grounds every four years
and these fish that are back are the
ones planted by the state four years
ago. The fish are still comparatively
small but the fact that the fish re-
turned gives promise of annual runs
in several more years.
Salmon fishing was practically
ruined over a score Of years ago
through the methods of irrigation
used in that district. bitches were
run directly from the streams and
were not screened, with the result
that thousands of fish died In the
fields which were being irrigated

Flowers, Not Known In
Living Memory, Breaking
Out In Shelltorn Fields

A strange phenomenon is to be
seen at present on the battlefields of
France.
Flowers, not known within living
memory, are breaking out on the
SCARED surfaces and in shellholes and
dugouts, says Stray Stories.
Botanists have become interested
in the discovery of the plants, which
it is believed, have sprung from seeds
buried in the depths of the earth, for
decades past. A we'll known botan-
ist in London, discussing the phen-
omenon, said:
There is evidence that seeds may
be buried for a large number of years
awaiting the time of termination.
"It is known that seeds have been
buried for upwards to 60 years with
out losing their power of germina-
tion. Seeds of corn and wheat bur
led with Egytian mummies thousands
of years ago have been planted in the
twentieth century and have germina-
ted in the ordinary way.
ut Is quite possible that strange
Towering plants-that Is, strange to
local inhabitants-are now Towering
In the French battlefelds. The heavy
shellfire which has torn up the earth
may have created conditions for their
growth after lying dormant so long"
