A sad looking man went into a
drug store. "Can you give me," he
asked, "something; that will drive
from my mind the thought of sor
row and bitter recollection t"
' And the druggist nodded, and put
him up a little dose of quinine and
wormwood and rhubarb and Epsom
Usalts, and a dash of castor oil, and
gave it to him, and for six months
the man could not think of anything
n the world except new schemes for
getting the taste out of his mouth.
NEW POTATOES

lumber fit for milling is getting
scarcer every year. Then why
not begin building now and take
advantage of the present mr

vVENAHA LUMBER COMPANY
Fancy green-fed beeves of the Wal
lowa country are being served on La
Grande tables with proper trim
mings of course. Idaho points, prin
cipally Nampa, have supplied several
carloads during the winter and more
are coming this week to local pack
ers so that the demands in La Grande
are far greater than the supply. The
Wallowa shipment arrived last week.
Packers are constantly on the look
out for out-of country beef and at
the fancy prices quoted for beef on
the hoof, it is strange that more
Union county ranchers do not devote
their attention to the profitable busi
ness.' Spring lambs are due on the mar
ket in the course of six or seven
weeks.'

While the rain was waiting on a
side track down in Georgia, one of
the passengers walked -over to a cabin
near the track, in front of which sat
a cracker dog, howling like the horn
on Fire-Chief-of-New-York Croker's
automobile. The passenger asked a
native why the dog was howling.
"Hookowrm," said the native.
"He's lazy."
"But" the stranger I was not
aware that hookworm is painful."
" Tain't" responded the barruious
native.
"Why, then," the stranger queried,
"should the dog howl?"
"Lazy."
"But why does lazziness make him
howl?"
"Wal," said the Georgian, "that
