Among the many examples that can be pointed out, we have a glar ing one in the paidoning und parol ing of the Chinese nun doors, who were sent to the penitetiJary for life about five years ago from Union county. During the month of March, 1917, a young Chinaman by name of ;Wil Imiii hug was brutally murdered by a gang of Chinese gunmen in front of the postoffice in La Grande, on Adams avenue, by being shot to death; and in the murder of this an hour longer, the thought may be comforting that it is really what they ought to do, Honoring Izaak i j 1.1 ,i i . . i ... absence 01 uiese rays, cannot ue ootainea except through the instrumentality of sleep. Thus, if you do not want to get up, but think it's nicer to lie in your bed, it is not necessarily due to laziness. Nature may be calling for further restoration of wasted energies' That there is a scientific reason why one should sleep longer may be sufficient to still the feeling that one should get up and get to work. The retarded discovery of such a theory will cause regret, may be, if oiie has often tumbled out at the alarm heretofore when imp kIi.hiIiI linvn taken another nap.

The response to the suggestion that the birthplace of Izaak Walton be purchased for a shrine by the piscators of the -world, met with a wholehearted response that sur prised even the men behind the project.
