Thou Shalt Not Kick.
. And yet, : Mr.. Editor, it is alto
gether owing to an unpremeditated
kick that has' caused this long de
lay. The way it came about , was
this : I was out teaming a few days
ago and one of my horses ' did , not
ante' just to suit me and I put in a
protest in the way of a kick, or per
haps I should have said I put in a
toe or half a dojten for that matter
and I hive been sorry ever Bince',
Not sorry for the horse you know,
but sorry tny shoe did not have ' a
steel point. ' That, is 'another rea
son why I have been going around
on three legs for the past two weeks.
I did not intend to let it get out
the kick you, know but the best
laid plans, etc., gang aft astray. It
so transpired in this instance: I
had told about 175 lies about it and
thought I had got safely through,
until one morning, one of Mr. Min
thorn's little boys called I was
sitting with my foot "hiked" up
about (our degrees higher than my
head and feeling quite comfortable,
thank you, when the little fellow
seeing the bundle of course eaid,
"Mr. T. whats the matter with vour
foot?" "Oh," says I, "I hurt it a little.
How "are your papa and mamma?"
"They are all right; how did you
hurt it?" "The horse hurt it a lit
tle;" how do you like going lo
school," says I. "Pretty well did
the horse kick you?" "No" says I,
"I struck my foot against something,
don't you want to go and see the
pet squirrel," says I. "Seen it be
fore; did you strike your foot againjt
a stump" says he. "No" says I.
I was getting in a corner and I
wanted to divert the conversation.
ana then, says I, My little man,

back?
half an hour." Heavens, thought
I. Then he came again: "Well
bow did you hurt it?" "Oh" says I,
I hurt it accidentally." "Didn't
kick the horse did you," says he?
"Ye,darn it," says I, UI kicked
the horse and stove every one of my
toes UD about i an inch, so there.
He did not seem to be entirely sat
isfied: and when he departed, and
after closing the door, he again
opened it aad sticking his head in
side he said : "You won't kick the
horse any more will you?" While
I was suffering a good deal over my
mishap, I telephoned the particu
lars down to Dr. Kreener asking
advice, and the reply came back in
a squeaky feminine voice: "Stick
your foot in a poultice."
But, before I close Mr. Editor, I
must tell you of an accident that
befell one of my neighbors the other
day: A day or two after the election
he says, one of the neighbors was
telling him how he--No. 1 had
killed one pop vote anyway; he said,
I just made a big plain A (cross)
right in front of every pop's name
on the ticket; "now neighbor, No. 2,
is lying in a critical condition, hav
ing nearly ruptured his left lung
and cracked his trachea. in several
places. He is not expected to live
more than a hundred vears, but he
says, owing U the fat on his ribs,
he . will probably live ten years
longer than he would if that other
fellow had not killed that pop vote
the way he did. The other fellow
is going around with a placard at

bold type "Please Kick Me." Me-

A Newspaper's Worst Enemy.

and will not pay it, can be counted
as an enemy. The man who wants

the newspaper will not champion

pretty apt to become an enemy.

is a sure enemy, i ne ruuian ana
the bully never like - a bold and

consequently do not like them.
But of all men that a newspaper

whom it has befriended and as

who turns . his , back on the paper
after securing all from it possible.
We can renpect in a certain degree
an open and avowed enemy, but an

Death of Lega Harnett.
An elderly gentleman, whose
name was Legh Harnett, stopped in
Medford several days during the
past winter, where he was gather
ing data to use in connection with
write-ups he was preparing for the
surrounding mineral districts.
About two weeks ago his body was
found in an old abandoned cabin
near Wolf Creek. The Mining Jour

1 he deceased was about 7 0 years
of age, aud . had followed mining
for a living all bis 'life.- No one
was better acquainted with ,the
mines and minerals of Southern
Oregon than he, and - his pen was
ever ready to herald their worth.
The last communication written by
the deceased was published in the
Mining Journal At that time he
was Buffering with an incurable dis
ease and intended to go to Port
land for treatment. Without fam
ily, friends or money, and in the
closing shades of life, he set out
with a brave and uncoinolaining
heart to walk to Portland But at
Wolf Creek the wearv spirit gave
out; he laid down in the first cabin,
and the gentle mother of all folded
him in her arms and laid him to
rest forever in her bosom."

RIPPING GARMENTS TO PIECES.
la Dolus; This There Should B No FnU-"J-.
."' v Ing or Tearing;. "
There la a general impression that it
is an easy enough matter to rip up a
garment. 'lost anybody can do it, and
it is an undertaking that requires no
f.pecial nkill or care. Acting on this
idea,' clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, snipped with scissors and final
ly taken to pieces after this unprofit
able fashion, and the operator comes
and declares that everything is ready.
A dyer who handles a large quantity of
black goods says that he long ago gave
i:y expecting anybody to rip a garment
up as it should be loue. If the seams
are ripped, they, are full o threads;
sometimes there are buttons on; hooka
and eyes are not uncommon; the fronts
of them are stuck full of pins of various
sorts, and linings, facings, braids and
the like remain, in whole or in pieces,
just' a. the individual who had charge
of the 'disintegrating 'process happen
to leave them.
To. rip up a garment properly ther?
should be no pulling, tearing or drag
ging apart. If one cannot take the end
of the . thread and pull ; it out, th
stitcnea 'should be cut with' a sharp
knife'. " Very few persons can rip a gar.
men t with scissors without doing it
greet harm; indeed, many -find it im
possible to cut stitches with anything
without making hole that render the
goods absolutely worthless for the one
who originally wore it. When it is done
the edges are so ragged that a much
smaller pattern must be used. In pre
paring goods for the dyer, or to bi
made over, every stitch should be taken
out. - It seems scarcely necessary to say
that facings, braid and hooks and eyes
must be removed, but this is impera
tive, in view of the condition in which
garments come to the dressmaker and
the dyer. Many dresses, capes and
jackets ore perfecflv wearable after

'When I went to a nerve specialist
Qrst," said a man who was once an in
valid, "he told me that one way to judge
of the condition of a person's nerves was
to watch his thumbs. Ever since that
time I have found the greatest fascina
tion in looking at people's thumbs. T!ie
doctor said (htt if they moved involua-.
tarily outward it was a sign that the
nerves of that man or woman were not
in the best condition. ? I find myst'f
now sweeping the line opposite me ui

one, there is a surprising number of
people ia this town whose nerves need
looking after. There are few among
the women who do not involuntarily
move the thumbs outward at intervals,
of every few minutes, and when your
attention has been once attracted lo
"it the process of watching their fftoved
hands grows very interesting. I Ivve
found the habit much less frequent
among men, but take the average num
ber of women in a street car and it wjU

of them indulge uncousciously in this
