It wag a very cold snap and the
company composed of 1 himself and
three women bad to make a drive of
12 miles In slushy snow. The driver
was not a western Jehu who could
turn a six-horse team on the ground

the seat with the driver.
He had taken the' precaution to se
cure large fur coats for them so that
they looked like huge, woolly bears.
Not far had they gone when the fool
driver upset the whole kit and ca
boodle of them and it was the fur
coat wrappings that saved the women
from serious damage. Reloading they
went on, but the whip was losing tlrao.
"Put them through, slrf yelled Jones
"Hammer them on the back!" Splash
ety, splash went the team, and came
to a gallop, when he heard the wo
men cry out "stop!" The driver sud
denly pulled on the lines and the team
almost came to a standstill, but Jones
only the more fiercely commanded him
to whip up. This he did and away
they flew, as it was almost time for
the performance to begin. ArrlvinK
at the place he went quickly as he
could to the rear to assist the ladles
when to bis amazement and horror,
there was not a woman aboard. Where
they were he could only conjecture.
How far back or in what condition,
whether Injured or not made htm
change at once from freezing to melt
ing. Off went the baggage, back turn
ed the driver hard as the panting
horses could go, to find about three
miles down the road the three woolly
women shoe top deep in the slush,
puffing like porpoises trudging toward
town and mad as any March hare, and
saying Jhlngs. It appeared that scar
ed to desperation tbey had Jumped
when they had called for the drlyer
to stop,
A little late the performance was
and they were supperless but It wen
through and it was not until supper
(11 o'clock), a word was said, aud
"Not then," said Mr. Jones, "did I say
anything till they had begun to get
their stomachs filled, for they weru
too wrathy to see straight.''
-"But," added he, "we got there Just
the same."
This is the story as he told It to
a bunch of listeners about a midnight
bonfire at the park one night
While Governor Oswald West was
In La Grande last week he was gaffe
at considerably by his old time friends
about his trip from Salem to Dolso by
horseback, the tour to commence n.i
Saturday.
"My old black mare will be brought
In from the ranch," said the governor
ar.d his eyes twinkled with anticipat
ed pleasure. "She Is a regular lion
horse, one of the best I ever ro.1.
but I noticed she is a little lame and
I may have to got another horse yet
The black mare has been doing duly
In the bop fields and the governor
has not yet found out how serloua is
her lameness, tut he is hoping she
I will be all right for the trip as he l
planning riding her the whole dis
tance. Instead of having relays.
"A man asked me yesterday how
was going to get the horse back
said the governor, smiling. "I told
him-1 wasn't worrying about, how the
horse was going to get bark as I had
troubles enough in seeing how the
horse was going to get there.". -
The governor expects to makn tho
irlp his vacation and Is expecting a
Great deal of pleasure, from It. He
will deliver a number of addresser on
!-ounte on good roads.
