Has Success of a quality greater than, the most sanguine had fondly hoped for has marked the effort o trans plant Texas-bred and raised stock to the rough mountain pastures of rugged Eu3tern Oregon from the sluggish pasture haul;, of the Sout'i The trainload of Teras stuff that wus brought here last fall on ulterior mo tive of replenishing tlie rapidly dl m'nishlng source of beef throughput the I'nitad States, was disposed of to local buyers under what appeared to a great many to be dubious prospects, A half dozen argument against the feasibility of the scheme were ad vanced and the result was that only about 500 head were tfius disposed of to Union county stockmen. Benson Brothers of Union bought 300 head and argument burled at these men Included: that the stock had come from a state where iee Ing was extremely easy, where the stock ate when hungry, and resting when cravings were satisfied and not forced to forage diligentyl as here? that the balmy breezes that blow ov er Texas had made acclimation to the rough weather assured in Oregon mountain pasture, almost Impossible without great looses financially " these and other arguments stood In the way of the free purchase move ments that . were contemplated, but now comes the consequences of the purchases that were made. Wintered under conditions precisely equal, feed, range and all. but with Texas stuff handicapped with emaciation, from long shipping, the Texas herd haa taken on 20 per cent more fat, and the loss from death Is nil. This, at least, Is the status of the 300-head herd the Benson brothers bought. The stock Is better In" every way than that which was native. The native and Texas herds- were ranged and fed together and the buyer, now readily point to the difference In re sults. Stockmen In general have been anxiously awaiting the first year's experiment with this Texas stock. S. C. MARIS POINTS OUT ATTRAQTIOS. the: Poultry to lie Special Theme Among Field Workers. Portland, Ore., Feb. 1. (To the Ed l!or.. Among the many educatlona matters discussed by the count i superintendents during their recen session at Salem in the capacity o state board of Examiners, none wa entered Into with more Interest than the school children's industrial con test work. With one or two excep- Ions each superintendent had Intro duced the work In hi. county, an was gratified with the results. In almost every county where school fairs were hold last year for the firs time, exhibits were beyond the ex pectations of those In charge. Th discussion was not as to whether the movement Is a good one, and one to be continued. All were agreed an enthusiastic on that) point. It was simply a matter of discussing meth odshow to conduct the work to get the best results. There was a un animous sentiment favoring a lat er date for the state fair this year In order to make It possible to hold the local contests first, and then send the best of the exhibit, to Salem. Some expressed their Intention of sending their whole Juvenile county exhibit to tbe state fair, and unless there Is a mighty aide tracking of enthusiasm, the fair board will need to build a roof over one corner of the state fair grounds to take care of the children's department. Many of the superintendent. in their industrial work th!. year arc going to socialize on poultry, bellev- tuh CONTEST WQRK I N W lng that It Is a good thng for every chid to cave the care of some sort of an'rual lire and that nothing Is more profitable nor practical to begin with than poultry. It Is claimed by some of the superintendent, that It I. eas ily possible to meet the entire cost of our publlo school system by the Increase In the production of poultry and egg. by the school children of. the state.

Brocky, lu'a tumbledown but ' Unit could not be rented to any one else. In the course of time the miner forix-kmed. taking over all the contractor's proierty, wblcb was valued In excess of the amounts loaued. 'f lie coutruetor begau to pay rent on the bouse iu wblcb be lived. Three months nfTer the fore closure the miser lay dying An urgent message reuehed the contractor, and be. supposiug that the other, knowing his end to tie near, wanted to muke what restitution' be could for the good of bis soul, hurried dowu to the cabin. He fouud the old umu In a rickety bed, eovere'l with a tuttered quilt and an old overcoat. The contractor bent bis ear boHfully t" the other's lips. The miser drew a long breath, clutched the quilt lu a sfciuuy baud and whis pered : "Pay your uext month's rent to Brocky." Kansas City Star. Bull Chasing In London. . From the time of King Jobu till 1839 Nov. 13 was known as bull running day in Stamford. A seveuteeutb cen tury historian gives nn Interesting ac count of the observance. "Tbe butchers provide the bull and place him overnight in a stable belong ing to tbe alderman. Tbe next morn ing proclamation Is made by the bell man that each one shut up his shop door tiud gate and noue under pain of imprisonment do any violence to stran gers; none to have any iron upon their bull clubs or other staves, wblcb tbey pursue the bull with. Which procla mation being made and tbe gates all shut up, tbe bull Is turned out of the alderman's bouse, and then blvle sklvy, tagrag. men. women and children of all sorts and sizes, with all tbe dogs In tbe town running after him."

"1 referred to wages and hours be fore tbe Interview was three minutes old," he explained.

Conan Doyle was once asked wby he didn't establish a detective agency and employ Sherlock Holmes' tactics la conducting tbe business. "For the very good reason." be replied, "that all the knots Sherlock Holmes untied were of my own tying. 1 should fall if I under took to unravel other people's entangle ments. I believe that on one occasion I could have done so, though. I was In a tailor shop when a rather unattrac tive man was selecting a pair of trou sers. He flatly objected to strliied goods, and I got the. Idea that he was an ex-convlct. To satisfy myself I vis ited one or two prisons and, sure enough, found the man's picture In the rogues' gallery. He had had enough of strliied clot lies. Detroit Free Press. Hi Aarial Flights.
