Teapot Tempest ,
Central America Is disporting her
self again in on of her periodical
In the language of the poet, "she Is
great bunch." , These grlngoes (?)
have a great lot of funny names to
encounter when any story is told of
them, and that Is against a better un
del-standing of them. Talcs' the Dtme
of the capital of Honduras tor In
stance: Tegucigalpa; it Is pronounced
almost exactly aa It you would say
"The goose a-gallping." Down l.i
Nicaragua where the loving populace
are throwing their bullets Into each
other's hearts is a town, Cblchlgalpa,
and another Matagalpa. They sen in
to be a rapid race, galloping much of
the time. But (he Nlcaragnans a:e

the east coast What on earth they
put there I cannot Imagine unless
they preserve their pests.
oooo
Mohammedans and Cbrlstfuns.
Over In Montenegro the Moslem
hordes are slaughtering Christians
Just because they are of that faith.
At Cetlnje, (pronounced chet-teen-ya)
the capital of the nation, the murder
ing goes merrily on; and this Is Eu
rope in the XXth century!

Bgani Joseph of Austria
This monarch enjoys the distinction
of having reigned longer than did
Queen Victoria. It was hU brother,
Maximilian, who was persuaded by
Napoleon of France to usurp tho
Girl With the rink Mask
Miss P. Mask had better stay away
from La Grande, Here's ten to one
she dare not face our sleuths. .
oooo'
Won't Slide on Oar Cellar Door
Jackie Bull is one of the nicest lit
tlo boys In the world (when he want-i
to be) and he lives away over too
big pond to the east of Uncle Sam's
Mouse. Now, Uncle Sam is going to
have the biggest, best, most attractive
fair ever could be in 1915, and all the
world Is asked to come and bring
their best. Little Jackie Bull, he says
15c I maybe he won't never come to the
itfalr 'tall If we make-him pay for
taking his ships through our new
Panama canal. Poor little fellow
possibly he cannot afford it.
oooo
Teddy and William J -
We can . stand the absence of the
British from the fair of 1915 If It only
comes about that Mr. Roosevelt can
be with us next month and Mr. Bryan
the next day. That Is the talk now,
and the La Orandese will do all they
can to cause Jt to be.
oooo
La Grande's Advantages-
It is litle wonder that Dr. Hall re
fuses to go anywhere outside of La
Grande to reside with his family.
Bad location, poor water, Insufficient
personal accommodations, are some
of the reasons alleged for not going
to the suburbs of the wheat city to
live. Who would leave our scenery,
our' Utopian water supply, and gen
eral hygienic conditions for the best
any other place can afford?
" oooo .
Judge Haley's Pride
Once Judge Haley ., was here to
make an address.' Among' other things
he said "Continually I am glad I was
born in Oregon; aa I came In sight Of
the valley, I was very glad I was
born In Grande Ronde Valley; when
I got off the tTaln I was most glad I
was born in La Grande.'

General Booth
oooo.
So seldom do much of such unique
personality appear In the world that
they are specially noticeable. Wil
liam Booth was one of these; under
the taboo of his friends be started
the movement known as the Salva
tion Army whose ( work cannot b.?
tabulated because of the diverse '"i!
numerous forms of enerpy it too. In
every land under the sky almost the
drum of the fnlthful soldier of
Cross Is- known. No one will say
that all the operations of the Army
have been wisely conducted, but none
doubt Its alms. Yet it Is a life maxim
thnt It Is bettor to try and fall, than
never to try at all. The work of hii
successor, Bramwell Booth, who suc

Would It not be wise, Mr. Oliver In

Vonntaln Pens ,
Except the maker and the agent or
the fountain pen can anyone explain
why the price of it should be

It is worth scarcely the money asked

Despite the fact that the manage

to grant various concessions they,
have effectually turned them all flown.
