Five Hundred to Participate In Parade
at Pendleton this Afternoon.
. Pendleton, Oct. 'X With a big parade
in which 500 cowboys, cow girls and
Indians participated this afternoon,
the round up, the first wild west show
given In the Northwest will come to
a successful conclusion. Hereafter It
will be an annual affair, ' .
Thousands of visitors from the east
and west attended and crowded the
park where the races, bucking, roping
and tying contests were given.
P. A. Foley returned last night, with
others, from the Roundup and speaks
in the highest terms of that city's
first effortts In this line. He says that
Buffalo Vernon deserved credit for the
exhibition he gave. The roping exhi
bitions were not as good as expected
but Pat has seen the best there Is
which made this part of the show tame
tu lIui. Tue ouuilug uuise exniDition
was good.
Hotels, restaurants and private fam
ilies did all In their power to care for
the crowds and Mr. Foley says one of
the good features was that nobody
seems to want to graft the guests.
There were several accidents which
marred the pleasures of the show. One
rider sustained a broken arm when his
horse fell over . backwards, Another
ronn bad his foot crushed. The lady
i;lder In the relay race figured In a
serious accident when her mount fell
and broke Its leg. The management
.was forced to kill the valuable ani
mal. UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR. '
Tie Way It Sometimes Crops Out In.
Examination Papers.
"About the driest thing In the world
Is the reading of a lot of examination
papers," said a young University of
Pennsylvania English instructor re
cently, "but occasionally the monotony
of an evening of such work is relieved
by a bit of humor. Frequently stu
tents try to be funny, thinking, per
haps, that they will in this way get on
the right side of the man who marks
the papers, but such attempts are usu
ally flat failures. It is the' unconscious
bits of humor that are the gems.
"A short time ago I gave as a sub
ject for an essay to one of my fresh
man classes 'My Impressions of Penn
sylvania." One youth wrote his name
at the top of his paper and then sat
through the entire hour, gazing at the
celling, apparently unable to get a
start. Then at the end he handed in
the blunk piece of paper. As a piece
of satire it would have been excellent,
but 1 am sure he had no such inten
tion. The blank paper merely repre
sented his inability to get his Impres
sions In writing and not the lack of
impressions.
"A short time ago a history profes
sor asked the question, 'What caused
the French rebellion of 1S30?' One of
the replies was merely, 'Too much
Bourbon.' If this answer hnd come
from an ordinary student he would
have given the writer credit for a"
witty answer, but it was written by
a serious minded youth from the coun
try, who, he was sure, was incapable
of such an effort and probably did not
even know there was a whisky by that
name. Truly the unconscious are the
gems." Philadelphia Record.
Notaries Public -
Notaries ubllc are said to have bees
first appointed by the leaders of prim
hive Christians for the purpose of col
lecting data for the lives of the first
century martyrs. It was a loug tlin
before the office had to do with legal
employments, such as attesting deeds,
wills, etc., and establishing their au
thenticity in any other country. There
was much irregularity (n the law con

when statutes were passed in England
and other countries fixing thetr duties.

Mirrors and Sunshine.
Many persons do uot know that sun
shine Is , destructive to mirrors and
produces that milky appearance which
cannot be got rid of. When a mirror
is being washed the water should not
be allowed to get close to the edges.
for often It will leak under, giving a
mottled effect and ruining the glass.
Hand mirrors should be placed where
the sun will not strike them, aud tho

Plan of Young Rockefeller to Increase
Church Attendance.
Some people just can't make ud their
minds . to attend phnivh ---
They admire those who do, realize that
they are much the" better for a good
sermon, but they oversleep, make some
important engagement or " wish to
spend the time otherwise.. It is to
bring these people to church that
many novel plana are being adopted.

Among them are whistling solos, mu

views, . and . many congregations are
treated to songs by famous singers.
And now comes something quite
unique in ' that direction. John P.
Rockefeller, Jr., is having the Arml
tage chapel, in New York city, altered
so that moving pictures may be shown.
The alterations will consist of enlarg
ing the platform, Installing a fireproof
screen and building an operator's
booth. We are all pretty keen to see
moving pictures these days, and much

Where's the Responsibility?
We, the people are stll at the bus
iness. The advocates of high license
maintain It to be so. Tne prohlbltlon
iests Bay we are guilty of the very act.
There Is no voice to the contrary.
When a man becomes successful In a
peculiar line of work, that business
becomes the expression of the owner.
The liquor business reveals the true
character of the parties engaged In It.
It has grown so large in Influence and
proportion that people are the real
owners. It expresses the character oi
the citizens;' the surface-sign of the
nature of its owner. The tap root of
the booze traffic Is found in the peo
ple who compose the commonwealth.
It grows and flourishes because it has
for ts protection the Influence of the
majority. There are many who do not
own it. Nevertheless the whole can
be recognized by its institutions. It
becomes easy for us to shift the re
sponsibility upon a portion of the
commonwealth. If the liquor business
presents a condition that we do not
desire, what effort are we exerting to
create a different condition? The re
sponsiblllty rests unrn all. We de
clared by our votes two years f?o
that the liquor business nii't c"

people vote for something they did
not want? Our silence rather bespeaks
cur true expression. The officers of
the law are cursed and bemeaned be--ause
the law is violated and the vio

perchance someone acts the part of
a "detective" and the accused parties
are brought before the courts, we
J throw up our hands In holy horror. If
. we are asked to defend the law made
by our own hand, we decline in dis

a high hand in the matter." The men
