"While wnlUlug through one of the prominent hiiwu the other day," said an luuoceut looklug Individ uaU "I es pied an important luukiug piece of pa per on the sidewalk aud. picking It up, found it to be a pawn ticket for a dia mond scarfptn which some careless person bad apparently dropped., "According to the ticket the pin bad been pledged several weeks before for $15. 'How am I t Cud the owner T thought 1. "Shall I take it to the pawn broker? Perhaps if I do the owner will never see it anyway. The pin must surely oe a good one and doubtless worth three times the amount for which It was pledged. Why not appropriate It to my own use? The name on the' ticket was Brown, and my conscience was relieved when 1 found several hundred of that name in the directory. I soon made np my mind and started for the broker's of fice. I asked to see tbe pin before re deeming It stating that I bad bought tbe ticket and upon tbe payment of 29 cents was allowed to examine it "It looked all right to me, although I am not a qualified judge of diamonds, so I paid tbe principal of $10 and the Interest of $1.80 and the pin became mine. "The next day I showed it to an ex pert, wbo declared it to be worth far less than the amount I had paid for it, It to a trick of some people, he said, to defraud unwary persons like yourself. Tbe scheme consists of issu ing tlakets for spurious pieces of jew elry for amounts many times in excess of their value and dropping them on the sidewalk in different parts of town wbert nnioepecting persons might find them and redeem them, as yon did. thus yielding a handsome profit to the perpetrators.'

Have yon ever thought of the dis tance yea travel when yon are out on an hour's stroll T Possibly yon walk three miles within the hour, but that does not by any means represent the distance you travel. Tbe earth turns on its axis every twenty-four hoars. For the sake of round fignres, we will call the earth's circumference 24,000 miles, and so yoo must have traveled-during the boar's stroll L0O0 miles In the axial turn of the earth. But this Ik not all. The earth makes a journey around tbe sun every year, nd a loog but rapid trip it la Tbe distance of our planet from the sun we will pot at 2.000.000 miles. This Is the radius of the earth's orbit half the diameter of the circle, as we call it The whole diameter Is therefore 184.000.000 miles, and tbe circumfer ence, being the diameter multiplied by 8.1416. is about 678.000.000. This amazing distance the earth trav els in Its yearly journey, and dividing it by 365 we find the daily speed about 1,586,000. Then we pt the distance yon rode around tbe un during your hour's walk, divide agnln by twenty four, and tbe result is about 60.000 miles. But this is not the end-of your hour's trip. Tbe sun. with Its entire brood of planets. I moving In space at the rate of 160.00u.000 miles in a year. That Is st the rate of a little more than 438.000 miles a day, or 18. 250 miles an hour Bo, adding your three miles of teg travel to tbe hour's axial movement of tbe earth, this to tbe earth's orbital Journey and that agnln to the earth's excursion with the tun. and you find yon have traveled in the hour 85.2T3 mllea Eceentrie Tides.

Certainly before September is on history will the mid-summer lull havs become a mat ter of record and the usual weekly routine of social functions re-instituted. Several elaborate functions are rumored in the formation, tbe date and character to be announced early next month. . Although it is true in tbe city that but few are planning any social events still it is equally true tbat everyone enjoys such treats as was given last Tuesday by Mrs. Kate Hanley at her beautiful country home just across the river from La Grande. The party was given in honor of Mrs. Carrie Well man, now of Palo Alto, tut for many years a resident of La Grande, and Miss De Witt of Portland. The guests of honor were warmly greeted by many old friends with whom they ex changed many pleasant tales of 'Auld Lang Syne."
