THE B01RE OPPOSITION.
I: is said that Ex-Congressman Ellis
Is going to be a candidate for the
United Slates senate against Senator
Bourne. Also that Stephen A. Lowell
and Dan Malarky and Judge Dimltk
are also to enter the ring with the
senator who wears a red carnation.
This sounds well for Bourne, for If
there, Is any one thing he do?s want
it is a hurdle race with a lot of start
ers. With a field against him there Is
no way to beat Bourne for the nomi
nation, whereas if Individuals would
e nter on some man like Grant Dim
ick there would be an excellent chance
to keep Senator Bourne out of the
senate. But Oregon wHl never center
on anything not while the present
generation lives. As a result the sen
ator will rest easily and have a good
tlm?, knowing that his enstnieg are
his best friends when it comes to a
nomination or an election.

When the Shoo Pinches.
'My own common sense and the shoe'
Clerk permitting. t snail never wear
another pair of tight shoes." said a wo
man, "but If I should be inveigled into
making myself uncomfortable I know
what I shall do to allay the pain. Th
ministrations to the aching feet of a
man who called on my Italian cobbler
for relief showed me a remedy. . The
man's shoes pinched In three different
places. Having located the painful
spots Rafael dipped a long strip of can
ton flannel Into boiling water and held
the cloth stretched lightly across the
man's shoes. When tb water began
to evaporate be dampened the cloth
again and repeated the process several
times.
"Now,' said be at last, 'your shoes
are set to your feet No mre hurt."
The man gave him a quarter, which
I thought a small price to pay for re

a very tiny part When the time came
to rehearse his few lines be was so
tired that bis voice was anything but

"What's the matter. Mr Z.T asked
Sir Herbert in his most sarcastic tones.
"Are you saving your voice for the re
hearsal?" "No. Sir Herbert," was the retort
I've never been able to save anything
under your management"
Sir Herbert an exceedingly witty
man himself, was so pleased with the
retort that the salary of the small part
