That was another reason for dislik-
ing the girl. One who disliked the ia
vorite of the office could not hope to be
popular, so Sylvia had to content her
self with reading the books Of J. La
coin Treathway OIL philosophical sub
jects. OF course, she did not under
stand them, but there was some con-
ISOLATION in dreaming about ]. Lincoln
and admiring his handsome face as it
was pictured on the 1yleaf. Their was
a rea mana man who found the fine
things of life and who loathed the low
and the barbarOus.
How her heart beat one day as she
was in the private Office Of the man
ager taking dictation and she realized
that the visitor who entered was no
other than ]. Lincoln T~reathway.
Unmindful of her the manager
jumped from his chair and ran forward
with a hand of welcome extended.
Congratulations, Lincoln, old boy.
Miss Wilson is the finest girl in my en-
ploy, and 1 know she will make you

isn't she wonderful" Lincoln ex-
claimed enthusiastically. "Why, she
just seems to have bee made for me.
Her happy-go-lucky nature and bright
ideas of life are just what / need to
take me out of myself. Did you ever
hear anything so original as her slang?
It's too clever, though, to be called
slang. It's more like witty phrases.
Madge is the most wonderful girl in
the world"
For a long, long time after she had
retreated from the private Office Sylvia
sat down and thought it over. The re-
alization hat her views had been mar
row suddenly dawned upon her. Max
ing life worth while and enjoying 1t
to the utmost was what counted, after
all. She had ruined her happiness
by a false idea of what real living
was. Slowly the tears started down
her cheeks.
Sylvia !" 1t was Dick. They were
alone in the office and there was a note
of sympathy in his tone that seemed to
draw her to him.
Tearfully she confessed her new dis
covery. "Oh, Dick, I don't care wheth-
er you use slang or swear or anything

Our nAln. Home Folk.

If we hope to find life worth while
we must make the best of existing on
ditions and of the persons around us.
Some of them may be neither over
clever nor brilliant, but If we find them
thoughtful and considerate they are
worthy of our highest regard. OF
course, 1t is very pleasing to be "tak-
en- up by really smart" folk. but
sometimes this prestige lives only for
a day, and then those persons 20 their

YOUTH IS LOVES GOLDEN AGE
Less Stable but Far More Pleasant
Than That Experienced In
Later Years.

The love of youth is always full OF
hope. 1t is quite free from doubts and
fears. The young man and girl have
have had no experience of the hearts
instability. Neither women nor men
can love quite so intellectually and
truly once their faith in love has been
shaken. For this reason the palm for
true loving goes to youth. Older folks
sometimes love with more passion. but
they are also more subtle. They are
much richer in exquisite expression of
their affection, but this ability to talk
love" only comes with practice. and is
nc proof of sincerity.
This does not mean that an older
man or woman is not sincere, but I'M
dOubtedly experience has taught them
that the love they have won must be
constantly oiled with sweet words IL
the desire is to keep 1t. To n certain
extent they are playing a part" while
the love of youth is spontaneous.
A girl does not analyze her love for
the boy o his for her. She has per-
feet faith and yields willingly to the
loved ones authority. The love of
older folk is hedged in by reservations
and 1t cannot stand the test of mar
riage so well.
True love need not be blind, but II
should not keep its eyes too wide open,
nor should 1t do too much reasoning,
or 1t may be killed.-New Orleans
Times-Picayune.

Against the worlds sweet flowing breast:

on Secretary Lanes bill, providing
reclamation work so that soldiers and
sailors might have farm homes. This
was a signal for an attack by Gronna.

the benefit of soldiers as for those
who want to reclaim the country's
dismal swamps.
Victory Loan Passed.
The senate remained in session all
Saturday night to pass the loan bill,
the keystone measure OF the calendar
adjourning shortly before o'clock
yesterday morning.
Passage of the loan bill without a
record vote and in the identical form
in which it came from the house defi-

President Wilson would not find il
necessary to change his plan of call

WILLIAM BARNHART
HAD NARROW ESCAPE

I'VE had two big fires here last
month and two hangers and sons
flying boats and seaplanes were
burned says a letter from william
Barnhart, who is in the naval air sta
tion at Rockaway Beach. Long Island,
in n letter to his father. James Barn
hart at Pendleton.
William Barnhart is a fun blood
Indian, born on the Umatilla reser-
walton. He enlisted in the navy in
December, 1917. and for sometime has
been in the aviation service, He has
had experience in flying. and is prob
ably the only pure blood Indian whu
has served his country in this way,
though he failed to get overseas. He
has told of flying in previous letters.
Continuing. his letter tells of the
burning of the hangers:
II was working with a flying boat
when the fire started in the hanger
There were four of us cut off by
the fire in little room with no win
dows. There were some bonn bs in the
room. We were rescued through a
hole in the wall from the outside, and
the bombs were also taken out
through the hole as they would
plode. We were all overcome with
heat and smoke and taken to the hos
pital where we woke up later

Pendleton friend. For the past three
months Mr.. Tonkin has been in CEN

dow violators of the game laws. and
results show the Umatilla county war;
den has been giving them rather a
strenuous time. 3s1 aeaa7

l6 denr, HIDES, and he was fined $500,
A few days later he found 81 hides
in n j,piRer tree, andta man is to

In, the past few weeks fines collected
from, arrests by Mr., Tonkin have
hmoiinted to $3.50, with two trials yet
to come that may hiring from $500
to $500 more.
1t seems that 1t has not been the
custom to enforce the game laws in
that part of oregon and Tonkin has
had a busy time in rounding them up
