GUILTY CONSCIENCES THE editor of a newspaper In an Eastern Oregon town bor rowed a gun tho other day from u friend to go hunting.

"Hill," ho said "old boy, 1'vo been Intending to hand you this dollar for six months. It's for tho subscription I owo you." Tho editor gasped, almost fainted. I caught himself and manfully ac cepted tho proffered dollar with a look which said "do on! Damtho torpedoes!" Tho man rushed away and sevcrnl others braved tho edi tor's gun and paid up back bills.
