HOW LETT. Mr. Bristow uud his tow boob, who have been working in Klamath coun ty for some time, returned home lust Saturday. 11. S. R ad oh If, of Olendale, waB a pleasant oaller at the Sunny Side last week. Ho is circulating a petition for license to sell liquor, open up a sa loon ia Eagle Foiut, but howhe will succeed remains to be seen. The men engaged on the M. & C. Lu R. R., who have been working in these parts for sometime, moved their tents the ilrst of last week and start ed for the Greenback mine, where Mr. Parsons had some civil engineering to do,expeotiug to be gone about a week or ten days. Died August 22, 11)05, at the resi dence of his son, Aaron, James Beck, aged seventy-niue years and ten months. Mr. Beck had been a resi dentt of Jackson county for a number of years,raised his -family and lived to see them grown and married, and a large circle of grand children grown up around him. He was a mau who was highly respected aud in addition to his relatives leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his death. A week ago last Saturday, while Wm. Abbott's little baby boy, aged three years, was playing In .the yard on their mountain home, on the head of Clarks oreek,a large rattlesnake bit him on the foot. The child said, in giving an account of the occurrence, that the snake was lying in the yard looking at him, and ne walked up to him and kicked him, and that was the way he got bit. As Boon as the fact was known that he was bitten, his father sucked all of the poison out that he could, bathed the wound with .soda and water aud spirits of turpen tine and then covered the foot with mud. Miss Mae Abbott, in giving me the aooountfSaid that the mudseemed to foam the same as fruit that had soured in a jar, and the next morning the foot had turned a green color. At last accounts, however, the boy, was all right. Last Friday about 10 o'clock a. m., your Eagle Point correspondent and his youngest daughter, Agnes, started for Fort Klamath. The first thing of note on the way was the passing or two men and two women on their way to Crater lake. They were all walk ing and one of the men had a part of a heavy blacksnake whip trying to peruade a horse along that the driver said was sick. The horse looked as thonoh he has been trying to learn to live on free air and water, for he looked as hough he had had nothing more subsantial than air or water for a long time. I thought as 1 passed by and saw tne poor norse, bo poor ana weak that be could hardly walk, much loss draw a load that there was a prop er case for the enforcement of the law against cruelty to animals, for the fioor horse could hardly go and he dea of making him try to draw such a load and to be beaten beside is too bad to be tolerated. Shortly after leaving that scene of cruelty we met two nice young laides, who had got separated from the rest of the com pany. They had rode on ahead on horseback, crossed the Rogue river bridge, supposing that their parents would take the same road, but now they didn't know whether they would come by the route they had taken or go by way of the fish hatchery, and then another difficulty arose in the mind and that waa whether they would go by the way of the free ferry and Eagle Point or by the bridge and Agate, but they concluded to go on to Eagle Point. Shortly after leaving them 1 met a man and lady driving Jehn like and they were looking for two lost girls and when 1 told them my experience with them they stated that they bad broke their wagon and Why is ir that Aver'?

There was nothing of especial note occurred on the route that day, unless it was meeting quite a number of our old acquaintances on their way from the Huckleberry patch, reaoblug our camp at hole in the gound in time to eat a hearty supper and have a good night's sleop. While thero at camp we fell iu company with one of our neighbor boys, Chauoy Floroy, who is stopping with bis granduioher, Mrs. Chauoy Nye. The next morning we started about six o'clock and soon ran into the camp 3 of the people who are working on the electric light plant of or. Ray's aud the high line ditch. Judging from the number of tents in sight of tho road there must be a large force of men at work and that means lots of business for Medford and Eagle Point. All along the route we met men and women on their return trip from Cruter luke and the Huckle berry patch, but their faces were so black with dust that I did not know them and the only way they knew nie was by my iron gray team. We reached Bridge creek that night at 6:30, having traveled a diBtanoe of forty-seven miles. The road has been greatly improved since I traveled over it two years ago. I met a company of ladies climbing up the hill to the summit and one of them remarked that they had como over by the way of the Lake o' the Woods and that the Rogue river route was a good buggy road compared to either tne luamatn Falls or Pelican bay route. Starting from Bridge creek Sunday morning at 0:40 we reached our daughter's at Fort Klamath, a distance of fourteen miles, at 8:50. On the way 1 discov ered that Mr. Araut, the gentleman who has charge of the Crater lake park improvements and superintend ent of the road from Fort Klamath to Crater lake, has been making some material ohauges in thon'oute and he gave me several points on changes to be made on the route from Medford to Crater lake, via Rogue river route, but as l expect to go over tne new roaa via Crater lake on my return trip J will wait until I see more and try to write it up for next week's Mail. On reaching Fort Klamath I found sever al of our old Jackson county neigh bors and business men, some here on business and some for pleasure. Among the prominent personages I found was our old fish commissioner. Mr. Park, as fat as ever, but I must close. -Great ThloK Yet to Be. The world Is only beginning.

Now several -empires must compete together among them, that miracle of con quest and greater miracle of slow be coming, set dispersed ly about the world, but linked together, grasped and held by the embracing sea, our own ocean state, "imperial Britain, mighty and aware." The world will yet know greater men than Caesar and Napoleon, deeper passion and wider humanity than Shakespeare's, a music still more elemental than Wagner's, a sadder soul than Schopenhauer's, a more triumphant Intellect than Nietz sche's, beauty more enthralling than Helen's. John Davidson in London Outlook. Eton and Harrow. One of the Eton and Harrow school cricket matches recalls an amusing incident. Eton had a monotonous se ries of wins for some years, and one day the Harrow captain received the following: Oh, y boyi of Harrow school. Of cricket ye havo no knowledge; It la not cricket, but the fool, You play against Eton college. The Harrow school poet was huutrd out nnd commanded to send n fitting reply. This clever response made him famous: If, as yon pay. we piny tho fool, No wonder we were benten, For at (hat game no other school Could e'er compote with Eton. Uocllltr In Don. Will people who talk about dogs ov er learn to differentiate between Intel ligence and docility? The word "intel ligent" Is used almost universally In talking and writing, when people real ly nteau docility 1. e., the readiness of the animal to accept Instruction. Now, as In human beings, docility Is likely to be an evidence of second rate Intelli gence, and the degree of Intelligence is likely to appear when the nnininl Is do ing things on his own hook. It makes no great difference, but to the man who tries to think accurately the con stant parade of an obedient animal as one of exceptional mental ability is painful. Joseph A.

Literature, mm Well Art nd ence and History ! Indebted to Pain nnd Worry Suffortnff For Some of Ita Choleeat Gmmm, There are heroes of tho pen as well la of the sword, and the victor lee of the study are quite as affecting and mem orable as those of the battlefield. If a complete list of the fine exam ples of heroism of authors were com piled it would reach well out Into the thousands and Include a large number of Illustrious names. In fact. It is said that few authors have done really great work except under adverse circum stances. Literature, as well as science, art and history, Is indebted to pain and worry and suffering for some of Its choicest gems. There are few finer examples of the heroism of the study than that present ed by Professor Flnscn, the discoverer of the light cure for lupus. For the Inst twenty years of his too short life be Buffered from painful diseases of the heart and liver, to which dropsy was superadded, and It was only by dally self denial and the strictest diet ing that he was able to live at all. Yet for all these years, lived In luc very shadow of death and In constant suffering, he stuck bravely to his great life work, even studying his own dis eases with ihe keenest attention and writing articles on them for medical jouriKiU. 'ilie lost t-wo or throe years of his life were spent lying on his back, i!:iMc even to be carried to his be loved iii-t'Mito a few yards away, and yet the lion hearted scientist never re Iiisp:! f-r a p Ingle day his gallant fight for his fellow men against disease. Tho heroism of the Danish profess or suggests a similar brave battle waned by an English professor. .?. M. Creen. the historian, against dlseiif--c and pain. It was In 1 Still, when t'tv disease v, !U !i had assailed him f iv many your finally prostrated h;ni a:;-! when the 1 utors gave him no hope of living more than six nionilis, tli:: Creen set to work to write his frit no: ; "Short History of the English Peo ple." lay after day he tolled at his task, holding desperately on to life and in a state of eensoless pain and ex haustion, and so brave was the man's spirit that he actually prolonged his life for five years. Even he was bound to confess. "I wonder how in those years of physical pain nnd despond ency I could ever have written trie book at all." General Grant's memoirs, which brought his widow the enormous sum of $500,000, were written under even more trying conditions than Green's history. In 1884, the year before his death, the ex-presldent found himself bankrupt through the failure of the Marine bank and face to face with tbe prospect of dying penniless and leav ing his wife destitute. It was at this terrible crisis that he began to write the story of his stirring career. But the cup of his misfortune was not yet full. A cancer formed at the root of his tongue, and the gallant soldier was compelled to write day after day, suf fering constant and severe agony, Mrs. Browning, too, wrote most of her beautiful poems confined to a darkened chamber, to which only her own family and a few devoted friends could be admitted, In great weakness and almost unlntermittent suffering, with her favorite spaniel as her com panion. The German poet Heine was another martyr and hero of the study. The last seven years of his life were spent on his "mattress grave." racked with such excruciating pain that he had to take doses of opium large enough to have killed several men In order to give him a few blessed hours of free dom from It. Through all these years of torture he not only bore himself with a noble resignation nnd cheerful ness, but produced many of his finest and most finished works, including his "hast Poems nnd Thoughts" and hit "Confessions." Sir Walter Scott's heroic struggle with misfortune aud failing health dur ing the closing years of his life Is per haps too well known to call for more than mention. After the commercial crash came which left him crushed with debt and with shattered health he aet to work "with wearied eyes and worn brain" and toiled lor yeara, often as much as fourteen boors a day, no til the end came and with It the lifting of an burdens, including that of hie debts, every penny of which his monumental toll bad paid. Tn the list are also Frank Smedley, who wrote his book on "a bed of an guish;" Eklna Lyall, who kept death at bay by her brave spirit and busy pen, and Clark Russell, who set a magnif icent example of patience by his in dustry when racked with rheumatism. It is also said that much of Sir Arthur Sullivan's sweetest music was distilled from pain. New York Horaia The Better Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita tion more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation for a while. You take SCOTT'S EMULSION and it cures Ihe cold. That's what is necessary. It soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation ; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation ; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. WE'LL SEND YOU A SAMPLE FREE.

WMtnrnllr, THE IDEAL HOME.' Ha ldeu Coiiatmntlr ChnnR-e mm lie Growi Older As the male member of the human apecicu advances lu years his ideas as to what constitutes an ideal dwelling oh Hugo so absolutely that there is be twee n the different places he would elect almost no similarity. At three years old his Ideal is a tent formed from a table cover, a blanket, a spread, a piece of carpet, or any ! other matorlal that cau be so arranged that It will form a little place into which to crawl. At alx the best possible dwelling Is a hut built of barrel ataves, boards and planks, and unknown to persecuting adults, aud especially to policemen. A boy of ten would select a spacious cave, with a marvelous secret eutruuee, preferably with the entrance under water at hood tide, with the doors cov ered with heavy costly carpets, the walls decorated with deadly weapons Inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones, and with enough food stowed away to enable the Inhabitants of the place to live for u year if necessary. At twenty tho heart's desire is a room in a largo hotel where the cost would bo at least ?3 a day and where there would be a dinner at 7 o'clock, with lots of pretty and rich women present, a big smoking room and plenty of stationery with a heavy gold mono gram or crest stamped on it. At twenty-tive tho best possible home is a ucat, comfortable modern tint In some respectable neighborhood, not too far from the cars, theaters and shop ping district, and with asphalted streets so there will not be too much noise. At thirty-live the only proper dwell ing Is a town house, preferably situ ated near houses of men whoso wealth Is reckoned lu the tens of millions of dollars uud who really have consid erable money, said house to have a mammoth ballroom, music room and art gallery, and in addition to this house another country houso within easy dis tance of the city, aud still again, lu addition to these two houses, a mod est but quaintly elegant cottage at some popular seashore resort. At fifty a man's tastes have toned down, nnd be longs for a little cottage lu the country, where all is quiet, where birds slug and there are chick ens iu tho yard, a cow In the stable, a goodly plot of ground that contlnunlly yields an unfailing supply of fresh veg etables and where all is modesty, sweet content and freedom from the usual annoyances that make life a burden. At sixty the cettagc has grown smaller, and the man would be con tent with less ground, fewer chickens and vegetables and could get along quite nicely without the cow. At seventy any place will do so long as a man is not disturbed and has rea sonable assurance that he will not be. Exchange. VUiIium of Old Jiikfl. A hospital surgeon says that there Is more facial paralysis among bank pay ing tellers, photographers and elevator operators than in nuy other classes. He accounts for It with the words, "Old jokes." "Jokes! How so?" "Whenever u bank clerk bauds out a fresh, crisp bill, the mau on the other side of the window says: 'New money, eh? Made It youraeif, I suppose?' It Is up to the teller to force a laugh. Tho man on the chair says, 'Ain't you afraid I'll break the camera?' Ho would be mortally wounded If the oper ator did not laugh. One man out of every ten will enter an elevator and say to Ihe boy at the rope, 'Lots of tips and downs In your life, ain't there?' The boy forces a smile. "Year after year of this sort of busi ness tells In the long run. The victims come here for treatment, and we can bold out no hope to them unless they get Into another line of labor."
