E2r.0n.-t Laced 3.50 and up Pauline Lederle HIS FLIGHT OF ORATORY. The Cause Wat Lowly, but th Lew . flyer's Plea W Eloquent.;: - The wit and wisdom of members of the bar are acknowledged in all circles; and the following example, recorded in M. McDonnell Bodkin's book. "Recol lections of an Irish Judge," is certainly worthy of being preserved: '.-'l-'it1 "A certain barrister appeared to sup port an application before the recorder of Dublin for a license for a public houses The applicant was only twenty five years old, and the recorder re marked that be was very young for so responsible a position. ' The resource ful advocate rose majestically to the occasion and said: "'My lord. Alexander the Great at twenty-two years of -age bad crushed the lllyrians and razed the city of Thebes to the ground, had crossed the Hellespont at the bead of his army, bad conquered Darius with a force of a million In the defiles of Issus and brought the great Persian empire un der bis sway. At tweuty-tbree Rene Descartes evolved a new system of philosophy. At twenty-four Pitt was prime minister of the British empire, on whose dominions the sun never sets; At twenty-four Napoleon over threw tbe enemies of the republic with a whiff of grapeshot in tbo streets of Paris, and Is It now to be judicially decided that at. twenty-five my client, Peter MulligRn, Is too young to man age a public house In Capel street?1." PLEASING A SULTAN. Why a Piece of Spanish Musio T'okiad the Oriantal Autoorat. i , ;V . Euid Belton some years ago told the following story, which illustrated ex actly tbe attitude of the sultan of Mo rocco at that time toward the French: ' One day the suK.an asked a lady, tbe wife of his dentist, to play one of the pianos .that. were In the .room, at, the palace. She played several pieces, one of. them. at length catching the sultan's fancy, whereupon the' following little dialogue took place: ' ' . '' ': Sultan That piece is Very nice. What ta'ltcaJled?'-'--- ---'-" Dentlstr-lt is the "March on Cadia.'' It was written, to, commemorate , the Spaniards, driving the French opt of Spain. ' '' '"-.-! I '-'' Sultan What! Were i'the" French" 111 Spain? .,., .,' i Dehtist-Yes." , : Saltan How mnuy of tbem? i ':'' ' Dentist About 200,000. " - s Sultan (in a surprised-tone) And tiie Spaniards drove tbem out? Dentist Yes, every one of them. . There was a slight pause while the sultan was thinking hard, ftnd then: ' Saltan (quietly) Play It again. Dun dee Advertiser. ' . Bernard Shaw's Exouse. Bernard Shnw was invited to n ban quet in hoi.or of tue sculptor Rodin. He sent tbo following letter as bis ex cuse for not attending: "For mo a banquet to Rodin Is quite superfluous. I have already taken measures to assume immortality for myself by nttaeliing my name to that of Rodin. Henceforth in every ency clopedia you will read. 'Bernard Shaw; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown.' . "If the bust is lost, broken or spoiled, so much the better for me," be con tinues. "They will speak of the 'lost Bernard Shaw of Rodin.' ns today they speak of the lost Athens of Phidias. Nothing can be more beautiful than the statues which no one ever saw. Therefore 1 have dono all that is neces sary. 1 can get along without ban quets. You will only be Rodin's hosts. I have the honor to be bis model."

An interesting light is thrown on the longevity of the trees that grow along tbe timber lino of the Rocky moun tains by Mr. Enos A. Mills In bis "Hocky Mountain Wonderland." ; He says: A few Umber line trees live a thou sand years, but half this time Is a ripe old age for most of tbe timber line veterans. The age of these trees can not be judged by their size or by tbeir general uppearauce. There -may be centuries of difference In the ages of two arm In arm trees of similar size. 1 examined two trees that were grow ing within a few yards of each other in tbe shelter of a crag. One was fourteen feet high and sixteen Inches In diameter and bad 837 annual rings. Tbe other was seven feet high and five Inches lu diameter, and bad lived 402 years. , Ose day by the sunny and sheltered side of a bowlder I found a tiny seed bearer at an altitude of 11,900 feet. How splendidly unconscious it was of its sice and ita utterly wild surround ingsl This brave pine bore' a dainty cone, yet a drinking glass would have completely boused both tbe 'tree and ita fruit. ( Convening With "Ghoata." Some scientists of . real eminence have accepted tbe postulate of the in dividuality and self consciousness of the soul after tbe death of the body and nave attempted to ' demonstrate their belief by asserting' communlcfi; tion with these disembodied spirits-" Sir William Crookes, a profound Reiv er In chemistry pertaining to radio-activity, asserted years ago that he had communication with souls of dead friends, but for several years be has been silent aneut this matter. Camllle Flamninrion, a rather speculative and sensational astronomer, declares that be has seen and conversed with tbe "ghosts" of dead friends. Professor William James, brother of Henry James, tbe novelist, promised before be died that tf possible be would com municate with his friend Professor Hyslop, both eminent psychologists, but at Inst accounts the soul of Profes sor James bad not spoken. Exchange. vent is taken to mean that the travel ing salesmen are beginning to get busy with the advent of the new year. Tom Johnson went over to Union today and will arrange for a shipment of three cars of hogs from that place which will go out with the regular Saturday stock special. Although the railroad is practically clear of snow blockades - trains are still arriving from a few minutes to an hour late, on account of the dif ficulty in making the schedule time. A rotary was sent up the hill today, as usual. Taking the entire situa tion ''by and large" the (running time of trains has been as regular as could reasonably be expected. Sam Clay returned to Cove today after having completed the arrange ments for again becoming a resident of La Grande. Mr. Clay has been living- in Cove the past year and a half but will resume his residence i here within a few days., . ' The. Elocution class conducted 'by Rev. Drahn under direction of the, Y. M. C.

Careful observers will note that the graduation of autumn tints lu all cases are in order of those of sunrise, from darker to lighter hues, and never the reverse. The brown loaves which long persist on some trees ibeech, chestnut and certain oaks, for example), though darker than the yellow or orange from which they often turn, are no excep tion, since these loaves me dead, and tbe hrown Is only assumed after vital ity has vanished.

They were a very saving old couple, and as a result they had a beautifully furnished bouse. One day the old lady missed her husband.

The musical acuteness of horses is shown by the rapidity with which cav alry horses learn the significance of trumpet calls. Friendship may and often does grow into love, but love never subsides Into friendship. The maligned moon, which has been frequently accused of being "dry" and at twelve o'clock last night charged with being "full," is taken by mans as the only correct weather guide worth noticing. The scapado of last midnight may well be condoned since it is the token that tne backbone ol the cold snap has been fractured. George Henessey, who is in charge of the Catholic Chapel car, the "St. Peter," arrived in La Grande last night. The magnificent car is on a siding to remain a short period. J. K. Wright, of the La Grande In vestment comapny, left on today's train for North Powder to look after some company business. J. I. Myers, a farmer and stockman of Haines, is in La Grande on one of his occasional visits in this section.
