A Washington dispatch to-day states

during which time the animals had been
moving on a hard and stony road, it was
found that the aluminum shoes had worn
much better than tboe ol iron, and not
one of the former had gone to pieces.
i'ortland weather yesterday, beat the
Chicago weather of latt Sunday where it

tion couldn't be carried on the telephone
wires, the words freezing on the wires
and dropping off into the streets, to tbe
imminent danger of passing pedestrians.
Many a business man cuts down his
newspaper advertising just at the wrong
time. It is not the return from jndic
ions advertising which brings success?
It is tlie cumulative effect. Watch the
business of two firms, one a live presis
tent, aggressive advertiser, the other,
negligent. Which becomes the lead
ing merchant in a few years? Buy
a space in your paper, make it interest
ing and don't begruge the money. Ad
vertising in a live paper pavs. The l
paper can live w ithout your advertise
ment better than you can live without
its effect.

the Inland Empire skulking disgrace

glad that it received the hearty support
of our membera in the legislature. We

Good sleighing it such a rarity in The
Dalles that a genuine, old-fashioned
sleigh ride is accordingly greatly en
joyed. With the night simply perfect,
the roads in fine condition, and fifteen
of the jolliest boys and girlt in town
packed into the bed of sleigh Saturday
night, nothing could have added to the
enjoyment of the party, unless it wat
that a certain young man might have
left his feet at home, which took up so
much room, that, although he tried to
keep them "out of sight," the young
lady next him was simply crowded into
an inch of space. After riding around
town until at every w Indow a face might
be seen peering out in a vain endeavor
to see the "dog show" parade, they were
driven up the Mill creek rotid, where
they might sing "Jingle Bells" till thei
throats ached without disturbing any
one. On returning the Hieigh was
drawn up in front of a cosy-looking
homo and they were invited in and
royally entertained by the host and
hostess. Lunch was served, and, ac
cording to newspaper parlance the tablu
"fairly groaned;" but in this CHse it
was so quickly relieved that the groan
ing was from another source. However
it soon changed to the voice of song, and

Self Conceit versus Slelf Confldeaee.
While conceit may produce u negar
ti vely agreeable effect it cannot be called
a positive charm. We do not think a
person more charming because his
conceit, and we do not encourage it in
those who are dear to ns. A parent re
presses rather than stimulates it in his
child, and u person who should plainly
and laboriously cultivate it would not
be in eril of canonization. It is doubt
ful if conceit ever accompanies reul
greatness. A great man, indeed, may
have the self confidence that springs
from tbe consciousness of power: but
consciousness of power is very different
from conceit of it. The one is a fact:
the other it fancy. George William

Rsiiiuiskliig by Faith.
Some forty years ago, on a cloudiest)
Sabbath morning, the president of Obex
lin college, Professor Phinney, walked
briskly to the chapel there had been' a
distressing drought and began the ser
vice with an extremely fervent prayer
for rain. . The prayer was long, and be
fore it was finished the skies began to
darken, and almost before the congre
gation was dismissed a copious rain be
gan to fall. The suggestive fact in this

Hain Without Clouds.
We have it on the authority of Sir J.
C. Rosa that in the south Atlantic it
rained on one occasion for over an hoar
when the sky was entirely free from
clouds. In the Mauritius and other
porta of the southern hemisphere this is
not a rare occurrence; but in Europe it
is, and the greatest known length of its
duration was ten minutes at Constanti

Origin of Two Weller Stories.
Many of Dickens' stories referred to
events much spoken of at the time. Tlie
story of the marbles was doubtless
fonnded on a tale then current, and the
tragedy of the man who killed himself
after eating muffins was an elaboration
of the account of the snicide of tbe Hon.
Mr. Damer, who destroyed himself after
a snrfeit of crumpets. Notes and

The New Club Member.
I read conscientiously Sunday after
noon at the club the weekly rules and
regulations laid down in the newspapers
concerning the details of life, that I
might regulate my behavior thereby;
and I notice that "initials are not con
sidered good form on note paper, not
even monograms." This did uot particu
larly interest me, as I have for years
used a firm, plain and unruled paper
though I do not delight in two sided let
ter writing, and the only notes I atu
punctilious in answering are dinner in
vitations and the good wishes of Miss
Porphyry sent to me at the beginning of
each world's year and mine own.
But looking np aud across the ball t
saw young Spriggles busily engaged in
tho consumption of club paper and en
velopes. Letters stood in high stacks
upon the table. And I formulated this
maxim : The newness of club member
ship is in direct proportion to the
amount of daily correspondence. The
clubling parades the club stamp as tha
newly married man his wife. And I
should regret this thrusting of such dan
gerous weapons as pen, ink and paper
into the hands of the wise and the fool
ish, were it not that club paper had oc
casionally its uses; as when Thackeray
wrote that delightful Roundabout in de
fense of Lord Clyde. Boston Post.
Th Kiss In History.
What a fleeting, intangible, evanes
cent and altogether delicious thing a kiss
1st No savant can analyze it. The
genius that fathoms star spaces cannot
measure it; the science that weighs the
fraction of an atom cannot determine ita
specifio gravity. And yet what an im
portant part it has played in history aa
well as in romance. It has been the re
ward of genius for was not Voltaire
publicly kissed in the stage box by the
beautiful Duchess de Villars in compli
ance with the demands of an enthusias
tic tit to thus reward the author of
"Merope?"
It has been the bribe of politics, for
when Fox was contesting the hard won
eat at Westminster the beautiful Duch
ess of Devonshire offered to kiss all who
would vote for the great statesman. And
the inspiration of patriotism, for did not
the fair Lady Gordon turn recruiting

regiments had been depleted by Sala

placing the recruiting shilling between
her lips for all who would to take it with
