After his first greeting to The; Chronicle
man he said, "I want to say to you that
I was chairman of the committee ot ar
rangements for our celebration on the
Fourth, and that what The Chronicle
aaid about that young man we borrowed
from you folks to make the address, was
all right. When Mr. Wilson reached
Prineville some of the people thought
we had made a mistake in selecting so
young a man, but be hadn't spoken two
minutes when opinions began to change,
and in five minutes he had gust simply
captured the entire crowd, it was one
of the finest efforts I ever beard, and
this opinion is eudorsed by every citizen
of Crook county." He told us whole
lots of other nice things about our gifted
young townsman, but we don't want to
deluge him, so refrain from repeating
tbem. .
The Amount 6areled.
The amount of booty secured by tbe
Baker City postoffice robber or robbers
has been considerably swelled since tte
first report, says the Democrat. At that
time Postmaster Foster could only give
the amount of cash and -stamps iniasing
from the safe. Since that time be has
been able to learn tbe contents of the
registered packages taken and finds that
upwards of $1,000 from this source was
secured, making about $2,000 in all. One
package contained gold dost amounting
to $365 and was sent through the mail
by a Chinese mining company at Joh
Day, Grant county.

' Kishacoquillas gaip ia located in th?
Tussey.or Seven mountain, range, and is
one of the many, breaks through. this
wild chain of mountains leading from
Penn's valley jnto Stone valley.
The Seven mountain, range is per
haps the wildest system in the state of
Pennsylvania. More than one ex
perienced hunter and woodsman has
lost bis way in. these mountains, and
epent weary days wandering around
liefore he found his way to civilization
again, and some even failed, to return
to it, and it is the general belief that
their bones lie bleak and bare in some
dark ravine of the Tussey, range. .
" Years ago current report said tiiat
in one of the least explored of thernan
fastnesses of these mountains there
was a bee hive in the rocks which con
tained enough honey to make a man
rich. The Etory was in effect as fol
lows: Some eight or ten miles north of
'.he gap is one of the deepest ravines in
closing the wildest spot in the entire
chain of mountains. Precipitous cliff3
to the height of several hundred feet
rise on either side, the whole almost
completely covered with a dense growth
of small shrubbery and trailing vines,
while away down at the bottom, so deep
that the sun hardly penetrates, owrrg
to the narrowness of the gorge, trickles j
a small stream or rivulet.
On the north side of this gorge, about
half way up the rock side of the cliff.
is a fissure in the rock presenting au
opening perhaps 20 feet long and vary
ing in wi,dth from two to five feet.
Though there is no accurate way of
knowing: the depth of thus fissure or
cave in the rock side, it has been es
timated at anywhere from 30 to 50
leet, perhaps even more, and possibly
with the dimensions of a large chamber.
In this rift in the rock a swarm ' of
bees years ago made their home, and
Ihere they have continued to abide,
multiply and store up honey until three
years ago, when the last report of tiera.
as given by a lost hunter, stated thnt
so numerous had they become that
there was one perfect column or string
of bees fully a foot thick continually
going and coming from the stone hive.
Parties who claim to have seen it
aver that on a warm day the sweet
fluid, melted by the hot rays of the
sun in the brief time its rays penetrate
the opening, would trickle down the
side of the cliffs and fall in pools at
the bottom.
Several parties attempted to dis
lodge the bees and get at the hive of
honey, but owing to the difficulty in
getting at the opening they were never
successful, as the bees always drove
them away.
. A few days ago at stranger, who
claimed to hail from the eastern part of
the state, and who had been trudging
these mountains in quest of theoutloo c
for game on several of the game pre
serves located here, stopped a few min
utes at the gap, and. while here told of
seeing the beehive in the rocks. The
man was so excited over the discovery
that he could hardly tell a complete
story, but the facts related by him are
to closely allied to the current report of
years that there is no doubt that he
found the wonderful honey deposit.
The man averred that the bees go
ing and coming looked like an immense
ar rope at least two feet in diameter,
and so constantly did they keep at their
work that in the hour or more he
watched them there was not one brea'c
in the flying string of bees.
To dislodge the bees and secure the
honey would, however, be an almost im
possible task, at the very least a Her
culean one. From the bottom of the
a vine to where the rift in the rock oc
rurs is fully 75 feet, and from, the ton
town to the rift is almost an equal dis
tance. The rocky swe is very nearly
ftraight up and down, and the small
brush and wild vines with which the
ide is almost entirely covered are not
embedded securely enough in the rocks
to admit of one climbing either up or
lown them as a support. : -
There is only one way by which the
cavern could be reached, and then it
vould be at the risk of destroying the
rich store therein, and that is to blow
the mountain side up with dynamite.
But even this mode of attack would
not rid tbe place of all the bees, and
when once their home was destroyed
all interlopers would want to seek some
secure retreat. The stranger averred
that he would find a way to get the
bees out and get at the store of honey.
lie declared his intention of return
ing to make the attempt, at least, and
what the results will be remain to be
THE PENKNIFE HABIT.
It Afflicts Over Half the People In
the World.

mantic Bat Kuinoaa.
One-half the world is afflicted with
the penknife habit, and on thatccount
the poor world presents a most muti
lated, scarred and butchered aspect.
Watch the penknife fiend at work.
He has just spied a fresh new bench
in the park. Everything fresh and new
is his own especial prey. He draws back
and rivets his eyes upon it, startled at
first by the sudden discovery of another
viotim. Then he pounces upon it, ?ike
the hawk upon the mild gray field
mouse, and whipping out his many
bladed knife, he begins to carefully.
maliciously engrave his name, the date
of his birth, his present address, his
past occupation, and various other im
portant details all over that virgin park
bench.
Criminal! He has no other occupa
tion. He was born to the knife, for
the knife. It is useless for him to try
to be otherwise. He is a ribald, irre
sponsible nuisance, a mean, petty, re
lentless destroyer of every smooth sur
face that crosses his path.
Whole walls have been covered by
him with fanciful groupings of the
alphabet. Beautifully carved staircises
and porches have been the subjects of
his attacks. Young trees have bten
killed by his incessant digging into the
bark with his pearl-handled wearon.
fie invades marble halls end scratches
his name on beautiful Italian mar
ble; he penetrates into graveyards and
perpetuates his memory alongside that
of the numberless dead. '
He never ventures abroad without his
penknife. - Whole hours are spent by
him basking in the sun, leaning against
some soft pine pillar, carving it down
to suit his fancy, and gathering a little
forest of chips about his feet. ' Large
public buildings suit his purpose best.
The city hall has always been a joy
to his soul. Especially about the main
entrances, where he is permitted to
loiter, he has cut and engraved until
the massive walls and doors look like.
ancient Egyptian tablets, a mass of
illegible heiroglyphics. He complains
because the old post office, once a rich
field for his zeal, is now closed forever
against his industrious fingers. But
the various railway stations still afford
him a hunting ground. Th-j North
western and the Union depots, with
their large and crowded waiting rooms,
are particularly favorable to the culti
vation of the practice.
And the man with the penknife habit
is never caught. .Apparently he woTks
in the dead of night when all the world
is napping, for he is seldom discovered
in broad daylight. He works as the
.ant works, persistently, laboriously,
doing just a little each day. But the
sum total is enormous. The damage
which he does to valuable property
reaches the thousands.
It is hard to fling away the senti
ment that once surrounded the lovers
twain, the yielding sapling and the
keen-edged knife. When Herman and
Dorothea rise before our mental vision
it is always under the noble oak tree,
standinsr together, and carvine their
names deep into tne neartoi me lorm,
giant, to be an everlasting evidence of
their everlasting love. Rosalind and
Orlando in the forest of Arden carved
true lovers' signs and ill-shaped hearts
here, there and everywhere to lead their
footsteps together. Coming down to
fact and the end of the century, it is
still the poetical practice of all the senti
mental and romantic.
But there is no romance about the
thoroughbred penknifer. He wants
glory, and he spares no pains to obtain
it. He works with the detailed interest
end impressible persistency that proves
the existence of one great predominat
ing idea.
Psychologists say that the penknife
habit is allied to that universal human
desire called notoriety. It is an off
spring of the love for fame. Sometimes
by accident the penknifer discovers
himself abroad without his trusty lance
in the hot pursuit for publicity, and
he resorts to the pencil. Then he in
scribes his name on painted walls, on
pictures and in borrowed books to go
thundering down the ages, an ever
lasting eyesore to posterity. Some
time: his weapon takes the form of a
rubber stamp. Armed with that, he
goes abroad and stabs at every available
object within his reach. Chicago

A PROPER DIET.
1 voidable
for
Errors Are Kesnonslble
. Many Diseases.;,. ,
The nature and quantity of an appro
priate diet must depend largely upon
one s age, individual . constitution, oc
cupation, habits of life and, to some ex
tent, upon the climate in which one
lives. An active child 12 or 15 years
old, who is growing fast and exercising
freely, may . require and assimilate as
much food as a man past middle age.
In health, the appetite may be taken
is a fair guide, and the child will sel
dom eat too much if he is taught to eat
very slowly, and ;thorough!y to chew
each mouthful.
- Throughout the school years the
growth of ibe body is continually going
on, and, therefore, if a proper develop
ment is to be maintained, the food must
'je abundant and of a character to fur
nish new tissues and to yield energy in
the form of heat and muscular activity.
The full adult weight is not usually
attained before the 25th year, although
in some instances it is reached earlier.
When the growth of the body and the
development of the vital organs are
completed, the use of food consists sim
ply in maintaining the proper equili
brium of the tissues by replacing waste
with new material, and in furnishing
fuel for the development of force.
As men advance in life, become pros
perous, and perhaps acquire more lux
urious habits of living, they are apt to
take less exercise and, at the same time,
to be constantly tempted to indulge in
food which is not needed and which is
imperfectly consumed in the body.
On the other hand, quite as much ill
may result from eating too little as
from overindulgence. In either case
the difficulty is made serious by long
continuance.
So great is the force of habit over the
different organs of the body that the
stomach and intestines will usually re
ject undigested the contents of an oc
cassional excessive meal, whereas with
habitual overeating they become ac
customed to appropriating large quan
tities of food, which are absorbed, but
severely taxing the organs of excretion.
Frequently the excess is stored up in
the body and goes on accumulating until
the system rebels, and a violent bilious
attack, by vomiting and purging, brings
relief.
It is no exaggeration to say that
avoidable errors in diet are responsible
for more than half the disease which
embitters the middle and latter part of
life. Youth's Companion.

TO BUY THE POPE A CITY.
FORGOT' HIS NECKTIE."
Embarrassing Situation of Tonne Kaa
Ont West.
In these days of cheap neckwear a
man is poor indeed who cannot afford a
large collection of ties. There ia one
young man in this city, however, says
the Denver Times, who would have
willingly paid five times the cost of a
cravat, if necessary, a few days ago.
He is a genius in his way, and, like most
of his tribe, requires a guardian. It
was on a bright, warm morning, not
long since, that he sauntered from his
home, just about shopping time, and
in his absent-minded way- wandered
downtown. As he walked along Six
teenth street people gazed afhim curi
ously, and some were ill-bred enough
to laugh. Their curiosity was lost upon
him, however, for he was far away in
reveries of the bright, happy times
when editors accept everything that is
offered without even asking ambitions
young authors to ruthlessly cut manu
script "to satisfy our readers." , He
wandered into a crowded drug store,
and, elbowing his way through the
throngs of well-dressed women, asked
for his favorite phosphate, and then
continued his - stroll until he reached
the office of the Times. Then some one
asked him why he did not dress before
coming on the street. He looked up in
mild amazement, sought a mirror, and
then made a rush for the nearest hab
erdashery. Since then he has become
possessor of a complete, collection of
ties, and when he sees his sister wearing
the choicest specimens, his hand fn-
variably seeks his collar band to see if
he has again been neglectful.

Bald Beads.
It is maintained by a physician who
has studied the subject that plenty
of hair on the head means plenty of
brains; that the hair is a sure index of
one's staying power. "I always look
on the bald-headed man," he says, "as
deficient, not only in hair, but in
actual brain power.--Yon know each
hair is connected with the brain by a
tiny nerve and the loss of all these
nerves means the loss of powers. In
deed, though the effects may not be at
first so apparent, a man may as well
lose his hand or foot as his "hair. If
you doubt this, the next time you hear
of a man who has all his life been
clear-headed and practical suddenly
doing some foolish and inexplicable
thing or breaking down in a cribis
which demands all his energies, just
look at his head. In nine times out of
ten he is bald. Half the men who drop
dead suddenly are bald. In almost
every caue, however, there is a hope of
cure for baldness if the head is regu
larly submitted to a gentle 'scratchincr'

ury as lnng as the pope remains undis
turbed in the papal territory.
. The plan is a" very pretty one and
there are those who think the money
might be raised and that King Hum
bert's government would appreciate
the advantages of such a bargain. But
would Home be the best purchase the
pope could make with the money?
Chicago would take him vastly cheaper
and give him port privileges on Lske
Michigan, but she could not engage to
rnakeh'mmonarchof an American town
ship nt any price. V.ut there is Con
stantinople, an excellent city, whore
popes have lived before, full cf ready
made churches built by Christians and
nearly ripe now for., reeonsecration.
Constantinople seems liable to come
into the market any day. If the pope
could buy it of the sultan fhat would be
a deal worth subscribing to and worth
turning a page of history to record,
