Co., of Chicago. ; ;
Livestock shipments to the Portland
markets for the month of May are far
ahead cf the scrao statists for May
of last year, showing the growing Im
portance o fthis market, Particularly
is a big gain shown In hogs, which Is
gratifying to the trade. A total of 515
cars of livestock of all kinds came, to
the stock yrH during May. of this
year. The increase in hogs received
was over 7000 head. The O. R ".& N.
has decided to place In commission a
regular stock train ' service, operat
ing twice a week from Huntington to
v Portland and way points. This will

Douglas County Is taking active
steps in securing - good roads. A
conuty association has been formed at
Koseburg'to boost the movement In
that section of the state and t he re

Interest of better highways and much
Progress is being made.- , .

for their unklnduess to the poor old

Bent at th Knees.
Buckskin clothing was in the early
days of the western country almost
universal, among the frontiersmen at
least When the railroad first went
through Idaho an old trapper came
down out of the mountains and was
standing on the platform of a little sta
tion. Ills buckskin trousers, soaked
and stretched by the rain and the melt
ing snow of the winter and then dried
and shrunk by the August sun, bagged
most wonderfully at the knees. A ten
derfoot who stood near by observed
him with interest for several minutes.
Then he walked over to him and in
quired: , .
"Well, If you're going to Jump why
don't you Jump?" ,

' We do not wisely when we vent com
plaint and censure. Human nature la
more sensible of smart in " suffering
than of pleasure In rejoicing, and the
present endurances easily take up' our
thoughts. Wo cry out for a little pain
when we do but smile for a great deal
of contentment. Feltham.
' . Served Them Right.
Hlggins Wentworth was hoeing one
April morning when three rough look
ing men climbed the fence and crossed
the field to him. They had Just been
shipwrecked, they said, on the brig
Maria. They' had lost even their
clothes;' Would Hlggins help them?
Hlggins Wentworth looked closely
into the sailors' faces, for he knew the
ways Of men. Then he said:
", "You, the bowlegged one, go stand
twenty yards to the right, and I'll get
you to help me a minute with the seed
In'. You, baldy, there, you stand twen
ty yards to the left" '
The two men complied, and the Hlg
gins Wentworth said quietly to the
man who remained:
"What did " you say your captain's
name was?"; . ' . .
"Williams. Captain Williams," was
the reply. , '. -, '
The old farmer sauntered to the man
off to the right .
"What was your captain's name?'
he asked. ' ' '
- "Everett, sir," the man answered.
Hlggins Wentworth crossed the field
to the third man.
"What was your captain's name?"
"The name was Captain Jones."
Hlggins Wentworth leaned on bis
hoe and gathered the three men about
him. - .- .
"A fine lot of sailors yon are," he
snorted, "to go to sea In a ship with
three captains! No wonder you were
wrecked. It served yon right" De

The Last Straw. '
' They were driving from the railway
station to the village In which the
blissful honeymoon was to be passed,
and, though she had not as yet brush
ed the confetti out of her hair, the
bride was in an agony of nervousness
In case they should be taken for any
thing but a couple well seasoned to the
Joys and sorrows of matrimony.
