Victok, Or., Sept. 28, 1896.
Mister Editor : I have been a
regular subscriber to your paper every
since it started and always liked it first
rate, 'till this silver question came up.
Then for sure I didn't like it a bit. You
see, when they first begun to talk free
silver, it stuck me just where I lived
At least I thought it did. Yon see I
have always found silver a mighty good
money. I never could get half enough
of it. So it just seemed to me that if
they would just go ahead and make it
free I'd be the happiest man alive, but
that's all changed now. I've had
vision a real vision. It came about
this way. I put in the day last Wednes
day diggin taters, worked from daylight
till dusk as hard as ever I could, ate a
big mess of salmon for supper, then
went to bed ; but instead of sleeping I
dreamed. I'd been thinking about sil
ver all day, so I dreamed about taters
and silver all night.
I dreamed that there was a very tall
smooth-looking man came along and
offered to by my taters. Said he would
give me a dollar a bushel if I'd take the
money he had, so I axed him what kind
of money he had. He said, real pleas
ant like, I have some notes of hand due,
one day after date, and signed by Col
Sinnott, of The Dalles, Or. Now I've
known the colonel for a long time, but I
didn't know that he ever gave his note,
Still I thought that this is all right
Jud sent this fellow out to by truk for
the hotel and didn't want to send the
money by this chap. So I spoke up and
said : "All right, mister, I'll take the
notes. They are as good aa gold to me.
How many taters do you want?" He
said he'd take all I had. So me and the
boys lit into weighen' em as fast as we
could, while the tall man sat there on
the fence keepin' tally. When we got
through he counted it up and there
were sixty bushels. So he put his
brand on the sacks and handed me
twelve 5 notes, each signed by Col
Sinnott. My, didn't I feel rich. Won
der I didn't wake up, I felt so good ; but
I didn't, I dreamed on. Dreamed that
I went to The Dalles next day and took
the notes to Colonel to cash. When I
got to the Umatilla house it seemed to
me that .everything looked kinder dia
erted and broke up like. After waitin' a
good while the colonel came in, ahuk
hands aa usual, but I noticed that he
looked kinder disturbed like. After ex
cbangin' thetime of day, etc., I men
tioned the notes and later deal, thank
ing him for the good' price I had re
ceived. But he stopped me short off
and said : "My friend you have made
a sad mistake. Those notes are not
worth the paper they are written on. I
am bankrupt." Mow I've known the
Colonel long enough to know that he
can joke when he wanta to, so I laughed
and said : "That's all right, lets go and
take a little wine." "Hold on," says
the Colonel, "you mistake, I am serious.
I haven't a cent to my name." I Baw
from his looks that he was in earnest.
bis eon, Lawrence Hubert, of Portland, so- without my asking be told me all
about it. Says he: "You remember
that historical fish story of mine?"
"Oh yes," says I. "
"Well," says he, "I told it one lime
to my sorrow, yea, I may say, to my
utter ruin. When Bryan was through
here two years ago I told it to him.
His admirers here have felt pretty sore
about it lor some time and finally in
duced the city council to pass an ordi
nance compelling me to sign $5 notea
due one day after date to whosoever
could furnish the paper, and to continue
signing as long as paper could be se
cured. The upshot of the whole matter
was, Jacobsen landed here the day after
the ordinance passed' with about a ton
of paper all filled out with my signature.
I redeemed them as long as my wealth
lasted. You are too late."
I tried to offer some consolation, but
failed. SayB I: "Colonel, seems to me
the council have treated you very uu
farely." "Yes," says he, "so they
have. Still you silver lunatics propose
to give Uncle Sam a dose of the same
kind of medicine."
Just then 'the old woman nudged me
in the ribs, and said: "Wake up John,
it's gittin' daylight and I do believe them
taters you dug yesterday got frostbit
last night.''. "Ta'ers be dinged," says
I. But then I got u; right quick and
made the fire, whiie the old woman
growled about the taters being left un
covered over tight. But Bay, Mister
Editor, I'm done with free silver. That
dream opened my eyes. How ia Uncle
Sam goin' to make all of the stiver dol
lars as good as gold unless he has the
power to say how many to make. You
were all right at first, Mister Editor,
only I was too punkin'- headed to see it.
Send the paper right along to yours
truly, "Mossback."
First Lady to Hake tne Trip.
F. H. Kearney and wife have returned
from a bicycle tour, which gained for
Mrs. Kearney the distinction of being
the first lady who has ever ridden across
the sand wastes between Pendleton and
The Dalles. It was all due to her own
ingenuity that she was enabled to make
the trip easily and arrived in The Dalles
not mu"h fatigued." Mr. -and Mrs,
Kearney left Pendleton a month ago and
arrived home a few days ago. They
rude 800 miles on their wheels. From
The Dalles they went to Portland on the
boat and and then took wheels again for
a tour through the valley, visiting Salem
and several towns along the rod.
On the way to The Dalles, Mrs.
Kearney noticed that the tires of her
bicycle cut into the sand so trs to make
it probable that. she could not stand the
trip. She suggested to Mr. Kearney
that some of the wind be let out of the
tires, and after a little experimentation,
both adopted the expedient 'and with
"fiat tires," and wheels running almost
on their rims they made the journey
over the sand desert with ease and
speed. East Oregonian.

Corner of Front and Union Sta. T. T. NICHOLAS, Propr
The lecture last evening by . Rev.
Parker was attended by a large audi
ence, in the main youthful and of the
gentler sex. It would have been more
fitting had there been more parents in
attendance, for the lecture was directed
to them ; but as a large proportion of
the attendance who, if they are not, will
most probably be parents some time,,
they will remember the wise precepts
they haye beard and turn them to ad
vantage in the future. The labor of
Mr. Parker is purely philanthropical,
and is calculated to make better men
and women of the little ones now grow
ing up around us. In his opening re
marks he stated that the work was an
old one, as old as the public school
itself.
The true mother is the one who rears
the child and guides its mental develo'p-.
ment with unfaltering care.' He has de
cided the old question as to -which is
the mother of the chick, the hen which
lays the egg, or the hen which hatches
it, in favor of the latter. She it is who
cares for it, feeds It, and watches over
it until it is able to care for itself. The
same rule applies to the human mother,
and there is a distinction between off
spring and children. He had known
mothers who administered an opiate to
make their babe sleep till morning so
that they might spend a social evening
away from home, unencumbered by it,
With rare beauty of language he pic
tared the delight of the young mother
who, in the joy of seeing her first born
smile up into ter face for the first time.
calls quickly to her husband: "John
John, the baby can talk !''
He paid a high tribute to our public
schools, calling them the bulwark of our
liberties, and urged his bearers to pre
serve them as the most important inati
tution of this land. He finds that eev
enty-five per cent of the insane are illit
erate, and only four per cent ot the
criminals have a high school education
The greatest source of crime is parental
neglect. It has been said that whenever
you build a school you close a prison
He has decided that the work of the
teacher is more important than that of
the minister, for two excellent reasons,
He has but fifty-two hours each year to
inculcate morals and education, while
the teacher has 1400. Then the minis
ter talks to those whose minds have be
come set and calloused, while the teach
er's audience have plastic minds that
receive and retain the minutest impres
osn. It is therefore important that the
teacher have a good moral character
and he believes parents should always be
vigilant over teachers, and if one is dis
covered who lacks in this requirement
to at once make it known to the proper
authority. From this on he pursued
the central thought of his lecture, the
relation of the parent to the teacher's
work, and urged that the parent should
work more in harmony with the teacher,
not always to take the child's view of
the case when it has been chastised, and
to talk over the faults or virtues and
make know to the teacher, as far as pos
sible, the child's characteristics; to
sometimes visit the school ; and to fre
quently speak encouraging words to the
teacher, who really nas more time in
hand to spend upon the children, than
the mother herself, sleep and play sub
tracted. The lecture was interspersed
with wit and readily adapted himself to
the good graces of the audience, who
learned lessons they will always remem
ber.
Two beautiful duets were sung, one
by Misses Ethel Deming and Elizabeth
Bonn, and one by BeBa Rowland and
Elizabeth Bonn.
