Where nil our mistakes and all our heartaches Knd all of our [xior. selfish grief Could lie dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door And never put on again. I wish we could tome on It all unaware. Like the hunter who tinds a lost trail. And I wish that the one whom our blind ness had done The greatest Injustice of all Could he at the gates, like an old friend that waits For the comrade he's gladdest to hall. We would find all the things we Intended to do. But forgot and remembered too late— Little praises unspoken, little promises broken And all of tho thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected The day for one less fortunate. It wouldn't be possible not to be kind In the Land of Beginning Again, And the ones we misjudged and the ones whom we grudged Their moments of victory here Would find In the grasp of our loving handclasp More than penitent lips could explain. For what had been hardest we'd know had been best. And what had seemed loss would be gain. For there Isn't a sting that will not take wing When we've faced It and laughed it away. And I think that the laughter Is most what we're after In the Land of Beginning Again. So I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heart aches And all of our poor, selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door And never put on again. —Smart Set STORM LIGHT. rpHE thick battalions of the rain Tramp on the misty hillsides dimly.

By no sad and tragic scene Has her happy heart been pained. But she'll tell you what to do In the heat and din of strife Just as though she ceally knew All there is to know of life. She has studied Greek and French. She has read philosophy. But her heart has known no wrench Due to grief or misery. So she laughs our woes away. And she tells us what to do With our troubles every day Just as though she really knew. She has only turned eighteen. She has merely sipped the swaet Of life's nectar and has been Where the clover kissed her feet. And so we of wrinkled brow And of battered heart just smile When our daughter tells us how To be happy all tho while. And we pray from day to day That she'll never know tho rough Of life's sometimes troubled way Or complain of Its rebuff. And we pray she'll never meet With the heartache of the strife. In the sunshine and the sweet May she read her book of life. —Detroit Free Press. LIFE. (T7E live In deeds, not years; in thoughts. ■* not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial.

Another thing; there are hundreds of women who must make thuir own living, who need the work, that a married woman who has a husbaDd earning enough to support her, takes away from her; in other words, the married woman takes the bread and butter out of the mouth of the woman who is compelled to make her own way. # * * Most every big daily newspaper devotes a latge amount of space, picturing and printing a lot of gush, rant and rot, as to what vaudeville actresses (who have been on the stage perhaps one season) eat. wear, and do.

Instead of saving Hoquiam from sin, he (judging by the majority of votes cast for his recall by the citi zens of Hocjuiam) only encouraged and created more sin. If encourag ing wage-earners to strike, causing business stagnation; fermenting dis sension, confusion; making old-time friends enemies, isn't as sinful and moro so, than the so-called sins of those who reside in a restricted dis trict (for the scarlet woman is con sidered dead as far as society is con cerned, though not by Him whom such sky pilots as Harry Fergusons profess to serve) I should like to learn why. The voters of Hoquiam, in my individual opinion, covered them selves with manhood, self-respect, honor and horse-sense, so to speak, by establishing peace and content ment from now on in Hoquiam, by retiring into political oblivion, at least, its one-time preacher-Mayor, Harry Ferguson. Let the band play; start the bon fire, and run up Old Glory. # » * June. June is one month in the year when I am really glad to know that I am fast coming to that age where the music of that poem which I read a long, long time ago when I didn't understand as much as I do now about life and things, the one that reads " the last leaf upon the tree," comes home to me like the crooning of a mother to her slumbering babe. It strikes me that way, because 1 am fast reaching that stage in life when the call of death will come as a song. But June is the time when I feel it most and I reckon it must be because June is the month for brides and roses, two of the world's fairest cre ations. The bursting of hud into bloom, that's it, whether it is the rose or the bride. It's the begin ning of life for them both, and I am, as I have said, at the stage where I can look upon the birth of both with a gentle smile and say: "It is well." What a mystery there is in store for these blossoms! What a wonderful labyrinth is open to them, and I, who have suc cessfully followed the clue and met Minatour of life's vagaries and de stroyed it. look with keen pleasure upon the wondrous gaze of wide eyes, as the young flower cpens its petals and gazes about in surprise and wonderment. Once when I was younger, I couldn't do that; I was too busy finding my own way through the winding path, unlocking the door, inspired with curiosity at what I might find behind it, and often OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1912. meeting with disappointment and tears, but after passing through the chamber of sorrow, I have found the garden of life, the fountain of con tentment ever flowing, and the sun shine of peace enveloping me in its soft rays. And so having found my happiness and having realized my self the pleasure of that mysterious search, I can appreciate and enj«g the looking on with kindly eyes the beginning of the search of others. I remember r.s well as yesterday when I, too, with my life-long coin panion started hand-in-hand along the brook of life, and many and hard were the obstacles in our way, but we persevered and succeeded and crossed them all in safety. But we were fortunate; we both started on the same side of the brook. That is the secret of it all, and Lffe's garden er of each of these tender blossoms would have that same soft, wide-won dering expression, though strength ened and perfected, in the golden autumn of life; he must be tender and give it the best care, for it is a fragile plant, and coarse handling soon robs it of its attraction. And if they would both, when they reach the golden age, enjoy each June as they did the first, recalling in the beginning of others what their be ginning was, let them both start on the same side of the riverltt, and un der the circumstances, no matter how choice the fruit on the other side may be, let neither of them cross the stream without the other. I remark upon the golden antumn and harmon ize it with the beginning of summer, because I have found that in autumn we find the days that most resemble spring the most joyous of the autumn and in the autumn of life the spring months are equal sources of pleasure. An English paper tells this story about Oliver Wendell Holmes. When in England in 1886 he was at a great reception in London. He oat quietly in a corner, feeling a little faint, and observing refreshments in the dis tance, he turned to an elderly man, whom he supposed to be a butler or something of that kind, and asked for a bottle of soda water. The sup posed servant brought the soda with great alacrity and remarked: "lam very glad to meet you. Dr. Holmes. I aui Prince Christian." The autocrat of the breakfast table was naturally taken aback, but quiet ly recovered himself and said: Dear me, I have not had much acquaint ance with princes —at least not enough to distinguish them from waiters at a glance." After that the genial poet soon be canio the center of a circle of royal people, whom he entertained for hours. Thunderbolts are not completely understood. They are lightning phenomena, spherical or ball light ning. They are gaseous beyond doubt, for when they expode with great violence, no trace of matter can be discovered. Their color is bluish, and they appear at once, when at all, after terrific flashes of lightning of the darting or filamentary type. Sometimes the luminous balls fall slowly, but do not usually strike the earth, but move horizontally as if sup ported by the electrical field of force of the earth. When they explode a strong wave moves in air in all direc tions, and a penetrating odor of ozone fills the adjacent space. The energy of explosion is supposed to be utilized in the formation of oxygen into the ozone in the lightning. Knowledge of the cause and real nature of thun derbolts is meager. They are more plentiful at sea than over land. Upton Sinclair, who is au advocate oi divorce when married people are unhappy, tells this story: A woman in one of the large cities of this country was one day per suaded to go to a spiritualistic se ance in order to hold converse with her dead husband. "My dear George," said the widow, in tears, " are you happy where you are?" "Happier than I was on Earth with you," George answered, with alacrity. This was something of a poser, and the widow paused to decide what she should ask next. " What is it like in Heaven, dear George?" she finally asked. "Heaven!" exclaimed George, "I'm not in Heaven." THIS State is tied with Kansas for the fourteenth place in auto registra tion of the United States. It would be interesting to know just how many have been fully paid for by their own ers. Not Acciutomcd to Priocco. Thaaderbolti. A Feminine Misunderetimdinf. A WONDERFUL BRIDGE. The Largest Suspension Bridge in the World. With the passage of a bill by the United States Senate granting Allen O. Rush, a Los Angeles engineer, a right-of-way across Goat Island and permission to utilize a portion of land in the Presidio reservation, the Jtrst tangible step was made toward the execution of plans for spanning San Francisco bay with a $2(5,000,099 suspension bridge to be the longest in the world. If the House likewise approves the bill, and it becomes a law. Rush will immediately lay before the munici palities of San Francisco and Oakland his proposition for financing the en terprise as outlined to and endorsed by the leading commercial bodies of the bay cities. This provides for the organization of a joint corporation to operate and control the property—San Francisco, Oakland and Rush to own one-third each. Rush's plans for the construction of tho bridge provide for issurance of twenty-year bonds with the fran chises, right-of-way and other privi leges as collateral. He says he has assurances from two European finan cial syndicates that they will take up the entire issue. The bridge as planned will be nine and a half miles in length. The bay will be crossed from Lombard street, near the base of Telegraph Hill, to the north side of Goat Island which will be traversed and thence to the flats near Emeryville. The bridge will be suspended 150 feet above the water level, thus admit ting vessels without interruption of trafiic. To make the approaches a moderate grade, the bridge will, it is planned, be extended over Lombard street to Van Ness avenue where the passenger terminal is proposed to be erected, and thence on to the Presidio where the freight terminals are planned, permission for which was given by the Senate. On the Oakland side it is proposed to make the terminus near the race track. The plans provide for four tracks for steam railway purposes, four tracks for electric traction cars, two automobile and vehicle ways and pe destrian walks and observation paths on either side of the structure. The railway tracks will be operated un der a common user plan, the revenue from the bridge being derived from a fixed toll for vehicles. Whether a toll will be levied against pedestrians is a detail not yet decided. Tho engineering feature of the bridge would be the construction of the eight piers from which the sec tions, each 2,230 feet long, would be suspended. Rush has invented a method which he says is patented and declared feas ible by eminent engineers. This is to build steel and concrete caissons in a drydock each measuring approx imately 325 by 225 at the base and tapering upward to a height of 150 feet. When completed each would weigh 90,000 tons. The next step, according to Rush's plans, would be to fill and seal a series of twelve steel tubes each 32 inches is diameter with compressed air. This he figures, would give the hollow pier or caisson a buoyancy of 110,000 tons. The plan is then to tow them to position and settle them in the mud by allowing the com- V#kssed air to escape. The weight of the caisson will plunge it deep in the mud and the water and mud will be pumped out, allowing the work ers to excavate down to bedrock, which is estimated to be about 140 feet below the surface of the water. After bedrock had been reached the caissons will be fillded and will form a pier rigid enough to stand any dis turbance. The superstructure will be built upon ten flexible steel cables each twenty inches in diameter, it is planned. He has devoted three years to the furtherance of his enterprise. He has appeared before the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, the Chamber of Commerce of Berkeley, the Merchants' Exchange of Oakland, the Realty Associations of Richmond and of Oakland and outlines his prop osition, he says, and received the un qualified indorsement of all these bodies. Rush is extremely pleased that the Senate acted favorably on the bill, giving him the concessions which have been denied others. The bill was introduced by Senator Works. "I have received assurances that the House of Representatives will also approve the bill granting me the necessary right of way," says Rush. " If the House acts favorably on it and the President concurs, the plans will as soon as possible he laid olTiei- ally before the Governments of the two cities in concrete form. There is a necessity for such a bridge, the plans are feasible and the leading commercial bodies have given them their approval. Rush cstim ites the daily ferry fares at $70,009, and the yearly freight re ceipts of the ferries at $11,030,000- SOLITUDE. nv K1.1.A WIIKKI.ER WILCOX. I.augh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old F.arth Must borrow its mirth ; It has troubles enough of its own. Sins?, and the hills will answer, Sigh, it is lost on the air; The echoes bound To a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you, Grieve, and they turn and go; They want full measure Of all your pleasure, But they do not want your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad. and you lose them all; There is none to decline Your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded, Fast, anil the world goes by; Succeed and give And it helps you live, But it cannot help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train; But one by one We must all tile on Through the narrow aisles of pain. ADVERTISINtTTHE STATE.
