Teach me to sound one note,
oh, God.
Full, rounded, that shall n.n
bo lost
In life's great onward, garner
ing sweep.
And lo, I will not count the
cost.
God. I cannot bear to go
This journey through of Joy
or pain.
And af the end my dying hands
Hold not one golden, death
lew grain.
Let all life's joys, if so must be.
Pause, not to hearten me, but
pass
As heedless of my hungering
Aa chasing shadows .on the
grass;
But give me that one boon I
crave
To know, ere death and I
shall meet.
That love is richer for my sake.
And l:fe somewhere grows
strong and sweet.

THK DFSEUT IX DEMAND.
If you do not believe that the
Umatilla county desert is rapidly dis
appearing, watch the land office and
abstract office records. If you do not
believe that people have faith In the
sagebrush districts. Just keep your
nger on the real estate pulse for a
few days and be convinced.
For the past week an average of
about 10 claims per day have been
located In the Hermlston district,
through the La Grande land office
and within the same time a number
of tracts of arid land under the Hin
kle ditch adjoining the government
irrigation project have been purchas
ed by actual homeseekers, home
builders.
All of this Is forbidding, ar'd, sage
jrush land and without water is ab
solutely useless, but with water
filled with promises and untold
wealth.
Within a short time there will be
no desert Wft In Umatilla county,
The transformation !s so rapid that
ir will have been wiped off the map
before we are aware.
IX DEFENSE OF FORESTRY.
The Boise Capital News, one of the
best papers in the inland empire. Is
:tterly opposed to the forestry pol
icy of the government on the alleged
ground that this policy Is detrimen
tal to the interests of Idaho.
Does not the Capital News look
forward to a future for Idaho? Does
it consider today and today's inter-
eats as being supreme over the Inte
sts of all future generations? Would
ic permit the depletion. In fact the
Jestruction of all the magnificent
fjrests of Idaho by the present g.
gantic syndicates who are cornering
all the timber land?
Would it not be saving something
for the next generation? Would It
not husband the forests and ranges
and make them resources of the fu
ture as well as of today? Would it
not protoct the rights of the mass of
tlw people of Idaho from the selfish
ness of the corporations which seek
to monopolize the state's richest and
most precious properties?
Here Is what the Capital News says
Of the forestry and range poVcy of
the government, a statement which
.he Kast Oregonlan sincerely believes
the Boise paper will live to regret:
"In the first place the forest reserve
policy aa administered is wrong In
principle: In the second place, It Is
wrong in Its application, and in the
third place, It works an injury to
ear!y every Industry of the state,
"It Is wrong In principle because
it U conducted withoat law and
places the people at the mercy of an
Irresponsible bureau In the selection
of whose offices the people have
had no choice. It . is wrong
in its application because In
competent, uninformed, political
haiiKera-on are often placed in posl-'
tlons of grave responsibility to be
come accusers, prosecutors, court.
Jury and executioners over citizens
and over industries of which they
know nothing about.
vit does an Injury to every Indus
try of the state by withdrawing from
this Mate great natural resources
Hint every other state previous to the
present time lias enjoyed without
charge, freely and without restric
tion, and It Imposes a burdensome
tax upon people here tn addition to
withdrawing these free natural re
sources, thus Imposing a double bur
don upon the building up of a com
monwealth In this new country; It
retards settlers, dlifcourafjes miners
and prospectors. Increases the price',
not only of timber taken from re
serves for local use, but advances the
price of the timber holdings of vast
corporations and timber barons,
whoso product is saved from compe
tition." Suppose all western papers held
tlvs view of one of the greatest nnve
ments of the present age, that of
saving the forests and the streams
and range for future development
and use. Suppose this sentiment pre
vailed In the west and congress and
the departments were forced to fore
go any further efforts to save thesa
priceless resources of the country.
How long would It be until the west
would be plundered 'by the land syn
dicates, beyond any possible hope of
recovery?
Does the News believe In Irriga
tion, the means by which Idaho Is
being reclaimed from a desert? Cer
tainly. Then how would It husband
water for future Irrigation If It al
lowed land syndicates to corner all
the forests, stream sources, water
sheds and other natural water sup
plies? The course of the News Is extreme
ly inconsistent, It would seem.
The west needs forestry, range
preservation, stream preservation, Ir
rigation, reclamation, more than any
other section of the country. Will
the west destroy the very means by
wh'ch these are to be secured?

A little boy went to bed shudder
ingly, and covering up his head
cried bitterly for fear that satan, a
great, big, black something, would
carry him off and eat him up alive
or cast him into a dungeon for hh
alleged sins.
Sins? Great heavens, child, what
have you ever done? How have you
s'nned? What wrong have you done,
you merry, light-hearted, buoyant
elf?
What have you done to be thus
shuddering with fear? Why should
your heart be filled with foreboding
and terror? Why not go to sleep
without a pang and sleep until day
light calls you with the birds and
bees and morning breezes? What
dark crime have you committed that
your life should be shadowed with
fear and your mind filled with grew
some pictures?
Th's fear will cling to you; It will
be Impossible to shake it off, dear;
so don't let it come upon you. You
have done nothing; you are Innocent;
you have done nothing for which to
be afraid: you have no reason to
fear the dark; there is a great, lov
Ine God about" you, In the darkness
and In the daylight. You know
nothing of sin or of the world; you
are not responsible; you are not guilty
of anything; so do not fear; be good
and kind and loving and true but do
not be afraid.
Let those whose hands are stained
with the touch of the world do the
shuddering. Let those who feel tn!
need of nunishment. tremble and
Imagine things In the darkness.
Ton are Innocent, child. There Is
nothing to harm you.
Better far be a aheepherder, safe
and sane in his tent on the Umatilla
county foothills, than king of Tor
tugal, and a target for the bullets of
the Jealous rivals of a petty throne.
All of Umatilla county's happy herd
ers are alive today and able to eat
their three meals. That Is some
thing. Better a live sheepherder
than a dead king. So let us be con
tent with our lot.
Eugene has issued a little circular

Joker of the deck and that her ace

his soul,

the goal;

Yet God will bring him where the

SOIL OF THE SINGER.
We read the song thut Is written
A few lit t lo grotesque signs,
Arranged In a certain meter,
'With rhymes at the end of .the
lines;
Ami by the thought of the music
Some chord In our hearts is stir
red: Hut the sung In the soul or the singer
Is never Ujiard.
Th.) one who best, sees the picture
Is he with n soul nf-nrt.
The one who best reads the poem
Is he wllh the poet heart.
The thoughts thai are rarest and
sweetest
Arc deepest from sight .Interred,
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
Some yearnings may not be spoken;
Some loves tire so wholly blessed.
Some dreams are so tinged with
heaven
They never can be expressod.
We miss the Intangible something
Dehlnd the veil of the world.
The song In the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
We meet, but are veiled in spirit,
ramiuar, but are unknown:
A realm of our Inmost beings
where we are alone, alone..
In each Is a strain peculiar
On no other heart conferred. .
The song In the soul of the singer

MY CREED.
think that many
a soul has God
within, '
Yet knows no church, nor creed,
no word of prayer.
No law of life save that which
seems most fair
And true and just, and helpful to its
kin
And kind; and holds that act alone
as sin
That lays upon another soul its
share
Of human pain, of sorrow, or of
care.
Or plants a doubt where faith has
ever been
The heart that seeks with zealous joy
th best
In, every other heart It meets, the.
way
Has found to make Its own condition
blessed
To love God Is to strive through
life's short day
To comfort gr'ef, to give the weary
rest,
To hope and love that, surely,' Is
to pray.

LITTLE. THIXGS.
A good-bye kiss is a little thing.
With your hand on the door to go,
But It takes the venom out of the sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting Is sweet and rare,
After the toll of the day.
But It smooths the furrows out of the
care
And lines on the forehead you once
called fair,
In the years that have Town away.
Tis a little thing to say, "You are
kind
I love you, my dear," each night;
But it sends a thrill through the
heart, I find,
For love is tender, as love is blind,
As we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for love's ca
ress; '
We take but do not give;
It seems so easy some soul to bless,
But we dole love grudgingly, less and
less,
Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.

A PRAYER.
Here In' Thy service, Master mine,
Let me be swift lo seek the right,
Let me not falter, tho'the night
Darkens the ways of Thy design.
Set Thou upon my heart a sign
That I may grope Into the light
Give me strong courage In the fight
That champions Thy cause divine.
n.
Grant me the grace, when foes of
Thine
Rise In their evil power, to smite
Strongly, and fairly for the right
Clearly and true to mark the line.
Lead me, I pray, O Master mine,
In open ways before Thy sight
With pride to feel Thy gracious
might,
With love for all Thy works divine

BLOOD FILLED WITH UIUC ACID
Rheumatism comes from aa excess of uric acid in the blood. Thii acid
circulating through the system acts as an Irritant to the different muscles,
nerves, bones and tissues of the body, and produces the inflammation and
swelliuj; of the joints and the sharp, cuttiny pains characteristic of the dis
ease. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid it continually grows
weaker and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheuma
tism becomes chronic, and not only a painful, but a formidable and danger
ous disease. Sometimes the heart is attacked, the general health is affected,
and the oils and fluids which lubricate the muscles and joints are destroyed
by the acrid matter which the blood is constantly depositing in them ; the
muscles shrink and lose their elasticity, the coating of the joint becomes
hard and thick, and'often the sufferer is left a hopeless cripple. S. S. S.
attacks the disease at its head, goes down into the circulation, and by neutral
izing and removing the uric acid from, the
circulation and building up the win, acna
(Ch iC blood, cures Rheumatism permanently.
S JS S.S.S. changes the sour, acid-burdened blood
O fety tJ O t0 a ricn- healthy stream which quiets the
excited nerves, eases the throbbing, painful
PURELY VEGETABLE muscles and joints, and filters out of the
system the irritating matter which is causing
the pain and inflammation. Begin the use of S. S. S. now and get the cause
out of your blood so that the cold aud dampness of Winter will not keep you

LAWSON AXD THE PEOPLE.
Thomas W. Lawson has published
in "Everybody's Magazine" a state
ment showing why he abandoned
what he culls "his fight for the peo
ple."
His article Is In the form of a let
ter addressed to E. J. Rldgeway,
proprietor of the magazine. Extracts
from the Lawson letter follow: "You
talk of what I owe the people. What
do I owe to the gelatine-splned
shrimps? What have the suffron
blooded apes done for me or mini
that I should halt any decisions to
mutch their lightning-change, ten
above, ten-below zero ehameleon
hued loyalty. The people! The very
name has so sealed Itself Into my be
ing that heeding Its every appearance
of late, are myriads of fantastically
caparisoned marionettes whose bold
fronting of mirrorshlelds and savage
circling of candy swords, make me al
most die a-laughlng. Forgive me,
my dear Rldgeway, but the people,
particularly the American people, are
a Joke a system Joke."
Lawson tells of the beginning of his
fight and. declares that the -people
would give him no help although he
was fighting for them. He says that
they "simply stood by and grinned."

AX IRISHMAN'S RETORT.
An Irishman one day went into
barber shop to be shaved. After h
was seated and the lather about half
applied the barber wus called to an
adjoining room, where he was detain
ed for. some time. The barber had In
the shop a pet monkey which was
continually imitating his master. A
soon as the latter left the room, the
monqey grabbed the brush and pro
reeded to finish lathering the Irish
man's face. After doing this he took
a razor from Its case and stropped
It and then turned to the Irishman
to shave blm. "Sthop that," said the
latter, firmly. "Ye can turk the tow
el in me neck and put the soap on m
face, but, begorrah, yer father's got
to shave me." Tattler.
