-Vs to that Chicago man who
lias departed this life leaving
legacies of $20,000 or such a mat
ter to his sisters, h!s cousins ami
his aunts ou conditioa that they
linger iu single blsssjducss for at
lease ten years, he eeeuis entitled
to such middling credit as must be
accorded good Intentions. Evi
dently he did hia best to save his
kinswomen temporarily from a fate
lie had escaped—if we are justi
fied in arguing that a married man
could not have made the will.
Bui will the promised bonuses
have the desired effect? That ap
pears to be the burning question.
In considering it, may uot the j
amounts of the premiums on spln
sterhood be omitted from the ac
count? Surely many tsr.rus of much
greater size than $20,000 have,
under like conditions, often regard
ed in drama, fiction and the vera
cious pages of the Sunday feature
supplement, been as nothing when
set against marriage.
Cau any amount of money, then,
stay a convert on the brink of
matrimony? Evidently not. Such
celibate persuasion as a bequest
can exert plainly mast be exercised
before the brink is reached. Re
maining out of marriage for ten
years is the easiest thin? in the
world—to oae who views marriage .
in the abstract. So easy is it, so \
delightful in itself, tliat it needs
no sordid money reward to detain
irom the altar anybody to whom
marriage is only a theory. Every
bachelor and spinster would gladly
remain such for life, without
money and without price, so long
as 110 candidate appears. But let
the concrete present iiseu in iuej
irresistible person of the proper
party and the •wealth of the Indies. !
the Andes and Larrd Andy com- j
biued could not snatch the braml
iroin the burning.
Thus, albeit somewhat sketchily,
we arrive at the conclusion that
the Chicago man wasted his testa
mentary opportunity. He might,
conceivably, hava bribed some or"
his female relatives into early
matrimony. He could not possibly
have bought them out of any con- j
templated plunge. This conclusion
is wholly in harmony, not only j
with the supposition of the testa
">or's practical ignorance of mar
riage, but as well with the bepuz
•/lement of old marri**! folk as to
how they happened to do it.
THE AMATEUR ATHLETE
That certainly was an idealistic I
set of rules announced in '
Chicago, the other day, by the com- j
mittee on ethics of the Athletic Re- j
search society. Said society may I
be unknown to athletes, but its i
new code for their ethical guidance |
plainly deserves all the attention |
their sense of humor w'll permit j
them to give it.
The amateur athlete who abides
by the code will not play to the
grandstand, will not seek applause J
or lift his cap in grateful acknowl- j
adgement thereof. He will tre:U
his opponent as a friend and
honored guest, even though his op
ponent treats him as r. despised
enemy. He will take no unfair ad
vantage of his opponent, but will
compliment him on his iood plays.
He will take no advantage of laxity
In rule enforcement. He will con
sider the officials Impartial and
competent arbiters. H? will do
other gentlemanly and sportsman
like things, such as these:
"Decisions will be accepted with
out dispute, even when they ap
parently are unfair. Ill feeling of
any kind will not be publicly mani
fested, eveo when fa official is
palpably incompetent or dishonest."
It seems a larye order. Asking
nine healthy lads to look pleasant
while a palpably incompetent or
dishonest umpire call# a. three-base
fair hit foul in a pinch appears to
be asking a great deal. Still, it is
only asking anil perhaps there is
110 harm in that.
Amateur athletes a.-e not likely
to accept the proposed codo bodily.
It will strike them that allowing
oneself to be rob be J of victory by
unfair or bungling cr fraudulent
decisions without voicing prompt
and indignant protest would be the
part of a mollycoddle rather than a
proper American youth; would be
more like acquiescei-ce in crime
than like glorious victory over self.
Very likely the learned researchers
know this and put forward their
code expecting it to be rejected but
hoping the simple act of consider
ing it may raise the general ideal
of sportsmanship a lit tie. A great
trouble with giving one's adversary
all the best of it is that, unless he
succeeds in winning despite his
generosity, the giver leeks more
like a chump than a sportsman.—
Cleveland Leader.
There really seems ground for
hope that as long as Jit. Lassen
keeps busy California will not
erupt in any other quarter.
There is one fine thing about
good resolutions. Lvc.i if you
ilon't carry them out they make
you feel good.
Canfield, the gaiublor, left a for
tune of $1,000,000. Which shows
what strict inattention to police
business will do.
Carranza may be tho doddering
old fool Villa Bays ha is, in soma
things; nevertheless he ia in pos
session o£ a steamship terminal.'

FAIR EXCHANGE
A Xew Back for an OI<l One. How
it Can l>e Done in Alaska
The back aches at times with a !
dull, indescribable feeling, making |
you weary and restless; piercing j
pains shoot across the region of the j
kidneys, and again th-* loins are so i
lame that to stoop is agony. No I
use to rub or apply a plaster to |
the back if the kidneys are weak, j
You cannot reach the cause. Alas- j
Kan residents would do well to pro-1
fit by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing
shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Saloiu,
Oregon, savs: "My back got weak
and soro and my kidneys did not
act as they should. At. times I
could hardly straighten Doau's Kid
ney Pills gave me relief and it took
them only a short time to rid me
of kidney trouble 1 publicly en
dorsed them several years ago and j
am glad to do so again."
Price 50c, at all dealers Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pi:ls—the same

A PASTORAL PLAYHOUSE.
Wonderful Open Air Theater In the
Heart of the Alps.
What Is probably the most pcrfeet
pastoral theater In Europe Is situated
in the heart of the Alps—at Interlnk
en, lu Switzerland. This unique "play
house" Is open to ill.' the winds that
blow, and its roof Is formed—hi the
most favorable circumstances—by the I
blue canop./ of the sky It Is tint ill j
ways thus, howe\er. aud It has not tu
frequently happened that the hue of
the canopy has been less Inviting and
that players and spectators alike have
experienced the Interlude of a heavy
downpour which was not iu the pro
gram.
The open ait theater at liiterlaken Is
used for performances ot Schiller's
great drama. "William Tell." for
which it is by nature admirably adapt
ed The stage Is a rising meadow |
framed on three sides by dense woods i
of beech aud pine, with a "backcloth"
of grim, gray roeu towering tow a ru j
the sky beyond Away to the right I
stretches n huge semicircle of motin- j
tain peaks. O.CUO 11 i:<I lO.O'Kl feet high. :
and behind the spectator tower the
great peaks of the Bernese Oberlund—
the .limgfran. Mom h and ICiger, with
their burden of elertial snows.
Nature In accommodating mood has
provided iho entrances and exits of
this unique theater- i«wsaues in tiie
woods lliroiiuli whirh gallop with

the right and are heard long before
they are visible, the tinkling aiat clang
