From the pen of Attorney McMahon
came an yrucie mcanns. an jcowi
dayi Oreonlan that is worthy of ev
ery voter's attention. McMahon ceased
all Jnun'dos regarding Hofer and (.-ail

"Colonel ' In front of his last name for
a wind shield and to lend dignity '
to his picture whlchU taken with his.
style. ;
Now, Hofer can no longer stand be
fore the people unless he brings a lib
el suit against McMahan. Should he re
fuse to do so he has no right to the
npport of any self-respecting citizen.

Speaking of the Townsend case, did
It ever occur to you that tinder strict
regulations men cannot and do not go
about the rural districts running
Joints. According to the evidence
Townsend was operating a Joint In a
remote part of the county where po
lice regulation was out of the ques
tion. Such things are natural follow
Ings of the local option la.w. But under
heavy pressure and rigid restriction
so Joint would run without a license,
and no license would be Issued to a
man In remote parts of the county.
Some people in La Grande who en
thusiastically favor local option fall
to distinguish between prohibition and
alleged prohibition. In speaking of
prohibition brings up the picture of in
effectiveness' at the same time, for it
does not bring the results expected

THE KING'S WATCH.
A Napoleonio Gift That Embarrassed
Jerome Bonaparte. ,
Previous to hi elevation to the sov
ereignty Jerome Bonaparte had formed
a friendship u ltli some young author
at that time In vogue for their wit and
reckless gayety. On the evening after
bis nomination to the crown of West
phalia be met two of his Jovial com
panions Just 'as he was leaving the
theater. "My dear fellows." said he,
"I am delighted to see you; I suppose
you know that I have been created
king of Westphalia r Yes. sire, and
permit us to be among the first"
"Eh. what? You are ceremonious, me
thinks. That might pans were I sur
rounded by my court but at present
away with form and let us be off to
supper," ; : .-, ;:
Upon this Jerome took bis friends to
one of the best restaurants : in the
Palais Royal. ' The three chatted and
laughed and said and did a thousand
of those foolish things which when .un
premeditated are so delightful. It may
be supposed that the conversation was
not kept, op without drinking. When
the wine they had drunk began to take
effect, "My good friends," said Jerome,
"why 6hould we quit each other? If
you approve of my proposal you shall
.accompany me! You. C., Bhall be pay
secretary.: As for you.. P., who are
fond pf books, I appoint you my libra-!
rlani ' The arrangement was, accept
ed and ratified over a fresh bottle of
chaippagne. . i .yr
At length the party began to think
of. leaving end accordingly called for
the bill. Jerome produced his purse,
but the king cf Weetphalia could only
mall
portion of 200 francs, the nmount of
the bill The new dignitaries by club-
Ding tnelr wealth could only muster
about 3 francs. : ,
What was to be done? At 1 o'clock
In the morning where could resources
be found? Tb'ey determined to send
for the master of the bouse and ac
quaint him how matters stood. lie
eemed to take the frolic in good part
ana merely requested to know tbtlr
names. Having told him, the restany
rateur set his customers down as
sharpers and threatened to send for
the commissary of police. This alarm
ed Jerome, who, seeing that the res
taurateur doubted them, handed over
his watch In payment. This watch
had been a present from Napoleon, and
on the back was the emperor's cipher
In brilliants. ;
On examining the watch the restau
rateur concluded '. thnt It had been
stolen and took It to the commissary
of police. The latter, recognizing the
imperial cipher, ran with Itto the pre
fect The prefect flew to the minister
of the Interior, and he la turn went to
the emperor at St Cloud. Next morn
During the past tnree winters at
Washington Congressman Ellis has:
Secured appropriations for three
fine federal buildings for Oregon clt
les. ' '
Been honored by being placed on
the ranking committee In the
House of Representatives Ways
and Means. This la the first time
.Oregon has ever had a place on
this great committee with the In
' fluence It gives.
Been a consistent friend of the
"old soldier" having supported ev
ery bill Introduced In his behalf;
secured passage of many private
bills for very needy old veterans
and their widows; and handled
many hundreds of different claims
for pensions which were acted on
by the pension bureau.
The Second Oregon district
stood at or near the head in the
sums appropriated in thfe last
. House bill for Its river and har
' bori, (11.800.000.)
Congressman Ellis has llaed in the
district over 26 years; he knows the
people and what they want and need.
He has been in congress ten years,
and gained an experience on the floor
of the House and In the committee
rooms and an acquaintance with the
membership of Congress which puts
him In a better position to satisfy
the needs of Oregon than any new
man could be for maty years. j

The Ice cream cona of commerce
With glue la stuck together,
- And It la quite aa healthful
As any brand f leather.

May know the taste of soling '
As Cook and Peary uaed It
For lunch when they went poling. .
The experts have discovered
With glue it la compounded
To maka It strong and shapely
And' keep It plump and rounded,
And little are the eaters
Aware what they are doing
When they without suspecting
Oat stuck up In their chewing. '
And If a person eats It
As long as he Is able
Be may grow Ilka a dresser
Or like a chair or table.
And that la an ambition
That man la not pursuing.
Whatever else may ail him.
His atomacb needs not gluing. 1
When we for summer eating
The very thing had found It
The chemists In their wisdom .
Make danger marks around it.

Or sadly needing pruning.
