"54-40 OR FIGHT" WON THE DAY.
Lieut. Peel's Report to British Pre- j
mier Changed England's Policy.
* The year 1845 brought 3,000 peo-:
pie with "54-40 or fight" blazoned j
on their wagon covers. "Yes," they ;
said, "Polk is elected; and we will j
fight for Oregon."
The brother of the Earl of Aber-!
deen was in Puget Sound with a
' British fleet awaiting events. Sir j
Robert Peel, prime minister of Eng-j
land, sent his son, William Peel, and !
Captain Parke, of the royal marines,
to investigate the Oregon problem.
They saw the incoming vans. "Hopelessly
Americanized," was their fre>;
quent exclamation.
Parke and Peel rode up the Wil- i
liamette valley and were entertained
by the settlers. "Tell us how you j
'-j came to Oregon," they asked at the
' . house of Applegate. He gave them
the story of the pioneers of 1843. \
"Such men would make the finest
> ' soldiers in the world," said Peel.
They stopped at Nesmith's. He
staked their horses on the grass and
invited them into his cabin, 14 feet;
square, with puncheon floor, mud
chimney and not a pane of glass, j
The furniture had been made by the
future senator himself, with an ax
and auger. Boiled wheat and jerked
beef was the extent of the larder.
The scions of nobility slept in their j

Twenty-five years after one of
those officers met Senator Nesmith in
Washington. "Do you recall that I
- was once your guest in Oregon?" he
said. V
Nesmith attempted an apology for'
the brevity of their bill of fare at
that time.
* "My dear sir," interrupted the po-;
lite Englishman, "the fare was splen- !
did and we enjoyed it hugely. You
gave us the best you had; the Prince
of Wales could do no more."
From Nesmith's house Lieutenant
Peel returned to Puget Sound and
took a special ship to London. What
he told his father, the great Sir Robert,
we do not know, but we had no
war with England.?From Eva Emery

HOSPITALITY A LOST ART.
Unexpected Guests No Longer Welcome
in American Homes.
Hospitality seems to be almost a
lost art in the present age. * The
days when the unexpected stranger
at the door was bidden in to eat and
sleep are past. In some parts of the
West, however, one still finds that
open hearted hospitality ' in homes
where the host and his wif/s are always
glafi to welcome any traveler
who happens to come to their door.
But the modern housewife of the
East is almost unacquainted with im
promptu entertaining. She must be
forewarned in plenty of time before
she will even attempt to dine a
friend.
It is rather a pity that this highest
form of hospitality should be allowed
to die out. After all, it is not
much of a tax on one's hospitality
to entertain a friend or two at dinner
or lunch when the invitation has
been'given out a week or so in advance.
But one's true metal as a hostess
is shown when a friend arrives unexpectedly
for lunch or when the
man of the house turns up with a
business acquaintance or two for dinner.
That is a sort of a situation
which tests the real value of one's
hospitality, and unfortunately very
few housewives rise to such occasions
at all successfully.
Don't let impromptu hospitality
die out in your home. Encourage
your husband to bring his friends
home for dinner and your daughter
to bring her girl chums to lunch.
Keep a stock of canned goods always
ready on your shelves and a
supply of clean iaDie nneii m jum
linen closet for such occasions.?
Irish World.
Worth While.
Dennis was plainly worried. He
; scratched his head reflectively for a
moment, then stooped and comj
menced poking a dollar bill through
| a crack in a board walk.
"I say, what's up? What are you
: doing that for, my man?" questioned
' a passer-by.
"Why, y' see, .sir," returned the
Irishman without glancing up from
his task, "a minute ago I dropped a
i dime through this crack, an' now I'm
| puttin' a dollar through so's to make
it worth me while to pull up th' walk
an' get th' dime."?Brooklyn Eagle.

of;the Southland is little less than a
crime, especially at this time of year.
Born and raised in a climate which
rarely knows the touch of Jack Frost, .
the rigors of the Northern winter
find in them ready victims and unless
a strict watch is kept by municipal
| authorities, actuated not so much
| from a desire to add to 'the working
population as from a humanitarian
standpoint, hospital wards will be!
'crowded and scores and hundreds of
| people who have been led to believe
| dollars grow on bushes in the ijn{known
North, will find pauper i
I graves.
The colored man of the South is j
only a child of the plantation and of!
the farm and he never can be or j
never should be successfully trans- j
planted to indoor work in factory or
| mill. He can never supplant the har|
dy sons of Italy and the Latin coun|
tries in construction work as he has
not the stamina to do the work required
or the constitution to stand
the frequently changing climate. To
the negro man born north of the Mason
and Dixon line this does not apply
for he has had the opportunity
to become accustomed to the climatic
conditions. Most of these men, too,
have employment, because of their
peculiar racial characteristics, whcrv
they are not exposed to the elements
day after day.
Many of the negroes coming to
the North today have owned little
farms in the South which they have
sold to stake their all on the venture
into the unknown country, the praises
of which have been sung by sirens
having but little regard for thej
tmth Unused to the ways of the!
city, these uninformed children of
nature have fallen easy victims to
unscruplous whites on their arrival
in the North and the few dollars of
I
the little hoard, a small fortune in i
their eyes, has soon dwindled to j
nothing and to the shame of the j
white man it can be said the un- j
scrupulous one had not left his victim !
until every dollar possible has been
obtained.
Without proper clothing or shelter,
the immigrant, and the one from
across the seas is a wise man com1

THE TtSljF MERIT
Bamberg People Are Qlven Convincing
Proof. V
No better test of any article can
be made tban toe test of time and
this is particularly true of a kidney
medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood this test and stood it well.
What better proof of merits of this
remedy could you demand, than the
statement of a Bamberg resident who
used is successfully and tells of lasting
results.
Read the following:
E. Dickinson, jailor, Rice St., Bamberg,
says: "I was subject to severe
backaches and my kidneys did not
act regularly. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and irregular in passage.
I sued- Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured at the People's Drug Store,
and they benefited me greatly. They
regulated the action of my kidneys
and removed the lameness and soreness
in my back." (Statement given
January 26, 1911.)
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
On May 29, 1914, Mr. Dickinson
said "The cure Doan's Kidney Pills
made for me some years ago is still
lasting. My back is now strong andj
my kidneys act regularly."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
Mr. Dickinson has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co
