Decline In Meat Trices.

cents per barrel in the big' markets.

season during which less meat will
b eaten by several of the denomina
tions the price in the Portland yards
fell sharply, although the supply was
not as large as on the day previous.
Flsn will be in demand for the next
forty days, and the price of beef will
be low as a result of the limited de
mand by the consumer. In other re

WHEN YOU THINK OF
Things Electrical
THINK OF THE
Waite Electric Co.
NEW FOLEY BUILDING PHONE MAIN 199
TIME
When There Was
using kerosene lamps. People thought, and
rightly too, that electric lights were beyond the
means of the family of modest ineome.
Many people who really want electric lights,
but who are unfamiliar with the progress in
electric lighting within the past few years, still
hold to this belief.
If j'ou are one of these, you will be agreeably
surprised to learn that electric lights are now
within the means of every family in La Grande.
"Ye are prepared to demonstrate to the most
skeptical, that they are the most economical

tbe glories of the Servian Emperor
DiiKlinn. the fatal battle of Kosuovo
and tbe legendary exploits of the hern
Murko Kralyerieli and bis horse 8ha
ruts, are of Homeric proportions and.
snug to the occouipiiuiiuent of a guitur
with cords, of horsehair talis, have
kept national feeling warm for cen

Floral Death Legends.
By the Mexicans ninrlgolds are known
as death flowers from an exceedingly
appropriate legend that they sprung up
on the ground stained by the life blood
of those who fell victims to the love of
gold and cruelty of the early Spanish
settlers. Among the Virginian tribes.
too, red clover was supposed to have
sprung -from and to be colored by the
blood of the red man slain In battle
with the white Invaders. In a similar
manner the red popples which followed
the plowing of the field of Waterloo
were said to have sprung from the
blood of tbe killed and wounded in thut
famous battle. According to tradition,
the Danish invasion Is the cause of the
daneweed, a con rue, asteraceous plant
common iu England, ns It sprung from
the blood of Danes slain, in battle, and
if cut on a certuln day In the yenr It
bleeds. The dwarf elder, for the same
reason. Is called da ne wort and dune
blood. Suburban Life.
Queer Book Titles.
"These old books." said the anti
quary as be pointed to a dingy upper
shelf, "are curious for their titles.
"Here is a volume of sermons print
ed lu Sulera In 1(92. 'Sermons to
Asses' is Its scornful name.
"Here Is a book dated 1713 that Is
called -Iok to It or I'll Stub Ye.' It Is
a treatise on polygamy.
"This Is s pamphlet by a spinster
against tbe young men of tbe seven
teenth century. Its title is 'A Dis
sertation on the IVrtness of Our Youth
In General. Especially SiRb as Are
Trained Up at Ten Tables.' '
"A return blast to that dissertation Is
this other pamphlet of the same year:
'Quippes For Upstart Newfangled Geu
tlewomeu; or, A Glass to View the
I'rlde of Vainglorious Womuu." "
I Nails.
America bus the honor of having
made the first cut nails, toward the
close of the eighteenth century. Before
Unit nails were made by band, and
their manufacture was a household In
dustry. Cut nulls are made by machin
ery from plates rolled to the proper
width and thickness. They may be
made of steel or of malleable Iron
Wire nails, though originally a French
Invention, were brought to perfection
In the United States.
