December 13, 14 and 15 will be cackle day in La Grande, for on those three dates the Grande Ronde Poultry association will hold its annual chick en show in this city. The members of the assocfatlon met last Saturday af ternoon and agreed on the dates nam ed and from now on until the opening hour the hustling members and offl' cials of the association will make It a point to give the show proper pub liclty and to arrange for a show that will be so far ) ahead of last year's successful effort, as to leave not room for comparison between the two.: One feature decided upon was to hold the show nearer the heart of the city than last year, it possible, for so many did not take the trouble of crossing the track to where the first annual snow was field. The foultry in dustry is rapidly becoming more And mo;e extensively followed In , this county and the association is growing with the Industry. .

Gam Mania. . ; More money Is wasted every year by women buylag needless things under the excitement of the bargain hunt than Is spent In all the gambling houses and race tracks put together, says Mary Ilea ton Vorse In Success Magazine. When you say that I have no statistics to prove this 1 answer that I have common sense and have snent much time in city shops. I know, too, what I am capable of, and I am but a half hearted hunter. 1 know what my friends do. It Isn't for nothing that I have seen, earnest young students of economics succumb to this hunting Instinct and fare forth to buy ninety-eight cent undergarments. It Is not only In the stores frequent ed by poor or uneducated women that I have seen the more brutal Instincts of the human race come to the sur face. I have seen a charming looking elderly woman In a high class store snatch a dress length of gray voile from the bands of another elderly wo man, and the reason I happened to set these sights was because I myself was at the sale looking at garments I didn't want and didn't need and buying them. The bargain chase, the shopping game passion or sport, life work or recreation for It may be any one of these, . according to the temperament of the woman has American women well in its grip. Hardly one of us es capes some one of the psychological deviations -from the normal which I have mentioned. ; 9trr t The Story of the Two Coins Buried It In th Erth READ HIS FACE. The Youthful Amataurs Ware Sura H . Was a Philanthropist They were youthful enthusiasts In physiognomy. On the seat opposite in the train was a man of commanding figure, massive brow and serious ex pression. "Splendid face!" one of them explained. "What do you suppose bis life work has been?" "A lawyer?" suggested the other. "No-o; there's too much benevolence In that face for a lawyer." "Maybe a banker?" "Oh, no! A man with an expression like that couldn't have spent his life in merely turning over money." "He might be an editor." "An editor! Cutting and slashing his enemies at every turn and even his friends occasionally for the sake of a smart paragraph? You can't read faces. That man's a philanthropist or engaged In some sort of public spirit ed work. Why, there isn't a line that doesn't Indicate strength of purpose and nobility! Look at that curve there ontheleftr . At the next station an old country man took his seat beside the man with massive brow and soon entered Into a conversation with him, in the course of which he asked the latter "what, was his line." ' The two opposite held their breath in the intensity of their interest. . "Ob. I've . got a little tavern and butcher shop back In the country , a bit!" was the proud reply, "My wife tends to the meals and I do my own killing."-Youth's Compaalon. fi NTS day Jack's teacher had been telling the class about the mint in O Philadelphia, where the money is made, and Jack had been greatly Interested. That evening he asked daddy to tell him and Evelyn a story about money. ; "Once upon a time," said daddy, "there were two coins lying side by side In a mint They were both bright and. new and shiny, but one was only a copper penny, and the other was a gold piece worth many times as much as the penny. , - 41 t . a. . ia.Lt . .te . 1 iei away irom me.- saia me proua goia piece to tne penny. 'You are only copper and worth very little. You will soon lose all your luster and be come dull, while I shall remain bright and shiny and shall do great work in tne world.' ... .... , "The poor copper penny could not answer for awhile, but at last he said, Well, perhaps I shall be able to do some good In the world, even If I am not worth much. Sometimes even a little piece of money. If it is used In the right manner, can do good. Perhaps It will be my good fortune to make some one happy, even if I am only a copper piece and worth not nearly as much i "After a time the two pieces of money were sent out Into the. world. The gold piece fell Into tbe hands of a miser, who bid him in v money chest with many others of tbe same kind. Then a little later the miser thought he was going to die, so be took the chest and buried It In tbe earth. Soon aferward he really died, and no one knew where he bad put all his money. The gold piece Is there yet, burled In tbe ground, and it has become so dark and dirty that no one would even think of7 picking It up. Of course It has never done any good In the world to any one.". . , . ' . "And the copper penny, daddy?" asked Evelyn. "That was given to a little boy for running an errand," said daddy. "He brought It home, and because bis little sister liked It be gave It to her and 'made her very happy for a whole day. , Tbe next day an old beggar asked her for a penny to buy bread with, so she gave the penny to him for food. From the baker to whom the beggar gave the penny It passed to a man who worke'd for the baker. ' He gave It to bis little boy. Tbe little boy saved it, with others, until he bad enough pennies to buy a birthday present fbr his mother.. And so tbe little penny went on and on and on. doing good In tbe world, until It was quite worn out with all tbe handling It received. And I think that was a better end than that of the proud gold. piece buried In the earth." jack and Evelyn thought so too.
