THE MBDPQBD DAILY THIBUNB, MBDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1909. CHARITY SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME Medford Has Park Which Could Be Very Much Improved by Sup plying Granite Gates. Tha Kugene Guard in a recent is sue says: Everybody is. gettiug in terested in the beautification of Eu gene, first one and then another donates something to help the depot park improvements and now the Or egon Granite Co. of Medford, through ; their local manager, V. C. Brown, who has headquarters in the White Tem ple, have offered to donate over 10, 000 pounds of their granite cut blocks 2'n feet square to build two mngnif ficent ornamental entrance posts at the foot of Willamette street. Tlio Commercial club has ordered the of fer accepted with thanks, the club to furnish the concrete fonndations and erect the posts, while the department has received Manager O'Hrion's con sent to haul the stone free of charge from Medford to Kugene. The freight in itself would be so big an item as to preclude accepting the granite company's offer. ROSS CASE WILL BE TAKEN UP IN JUNE Among the criminal cases In be taken up immediately after the mem bers of the supreme court return from Pendleton will he the J. Thor- buni iioss appeal. The rcs dent's brief, the appellant's brief and the reply brief of the appellant arc now on file with the court and there is no cause for further delay. Wallace McCninanl, William P. Lord und Wil liam M. Kaiser are the attorneys for Ihe appellant and Attorney General Crawford, George J. Cameron and Martin .. Pipes for the respondent. Tn his argument in the appellant' brief Attorney Lord says: ".Mr. Steel is the custodian of the funds named in the indictment, as disclosed by the record; he is state treasurer, and occupies a trust rela tion to the state in respect to such funds; and, if he is not permitted to make a deposit of such funds, and must keep them in his own personnl custody, theu his placing such funds in the bank was an act of conversion and he is the 'person' in law liable to indictment." , INDICATIONS ARE THAT RAILROAD WORK WILL START .Surveyors of the Southern Pacific have relocated the line through the town of Merrill for the projected cut off from Alturas to a connection with the main line at Klamath Falls. The original survey missed the town of Merrill by about two miles and the people of thnt thriving young trade center immediately took up with the railroad officials the question of hav ing a change made to bring the route through the town. The new survey was then ordered. Evidence is accumulating thnt it is the intention of the railroad company to hasten construction work on the line from Alturas and thut it is des tined to become a link in the trans continental road which will connect the Central Pacific to the Klamate Falls gateway.

The young gentleman to your left drops u porU chop. Thus, nrntd covert sneer. npcrefl1nu glances and general awkwardness, you take your place among uu atieu people. "A hash house introduction always reminds me of a minstrel show," de clares the humorous boarder. "Be seated, gentlemen; kuow each other and be acquainted." Whereat you must smite. "Chase the cow this way," continues the humorous bourder in time honored reference to the milk pitcher, whereat you must guftaw. "You are always master of ceremo nies," says a young lady boarder to the humorous one. "As for me, I'm too timid." "Why are you timidr "Oh, I'm so little!" "Sweet goods rome in small pack ages."

The malinger of t lie subscription book depart incut wus idling of some of his experiences. "The funniest case 1 remember." lie said, "was that of an applicant for a job ul book canvassing from whoiu 1 expected greut things. He niiitle u careful study of the litera ture we supplied him with and was very eiitliusinstic. Judge of my sur prise when the first morning he went out buck he ciiuie nnd hnmlcd in his rcslgiuitlon. " "Hut you should not tie so eustlv discouraged,' I told him. 'Kcw make a success at the start, and you ac kuowliKlge that you went into only two phiccs.' "'Only two,' he sutd lugubriously. 'Oue was a real estate agent, who per suaded me to sign a contract for two lots In Kisudflim-Kt, nnd the other was a tailor, who sold me n suit of clothes I didu't want.' And. shaking his head monrilfllllv. be mumbled 'flood rlnv and went out." Mppiucott's. In the Hands of the Law. An Impecunious young lawyer re cently received the following letter from a tailor to whom he was in debted : Deer 8lr Kindly advise me by return mall when I may expect a remittance from you In eettlement of my account. Tours truly, J. 8N1PPEM. The follower of Blackstone Immedi ately replied: .'

Upon receipt of your check for $30 I shall be very glad to look the matter up for you and to acquulnt yuu with the results of my Inveitls-atloiie. I am, sir, with great rMpeet, your inOBt obedient servant, BARCLAY B. COKE. Success MuguJue. Redundant Particulars. Cleveland people consider the name of their town suflicieut as an uddress without the addition of Ohio, and one protesting against the use of the nitnic of the state tells a story to Illustrate the folly of redundant particulars. "It reminds me," he said, "of the fussy englishman who went up lo St. Peter aud said. 'I'm from London.' And then, for fear the saint might mix him up with sumebody else.- he added, 'London. Kugland, you kuow.' That riled the good old gatekeeper. 'From I.ondun, Kugland. eliV he said. 'Well, sir. .Man from !oudou, Kngtuud. you're knocking at the wrong door. Your new address Is Sneol.

When It arrived It had very little i-oat. Consequently it was io a state of gnudity; hence, this new ditty we are composing on the subject. But now It Is no longer gsude. That new gnu knew some thing und grew a new coat for the cold wcutuer. If some people knew what that new Nubian gnu knew, they would keep their hair on. Ijondon Scraps. Importance of Vowels. Do you fully realize the importance of the vowel "e" in English? The In scription. "Prsrvyprfctmiivrkpthsprcp tstu." over the Decalogue in an Eng lish country church puzzled people for ! 200 years. Pepper it properly with "t's" and you may read. "Preserve, ye j perfect men; ever keep these precepts ten." Easy, Isn't It?

While tbe ancients did their utmost to prove that they Issued from the gods, we do our bast to demon Strata that wt have- dsteadtd from moaksys. Pmrts Jvaraai. "Humble Pie." Originally the term "bumble pie" carried no opprobrious meaning. The pie was oue mnde out of the "hum bles" or "numbles," from the Norman French "nombrlls" 1. e., the entrails of u deer. To tills day It Is highly es teemed in Scotland and In northern parts of England. So late as the time of I'epys "iimble pie" was served as part of the menu of a gcuilcmuu's ta ble on an extraordinary occnslon. Some writers derive the contumelious use of the phrase "to eat humble pie" from au alleged custom of serving "umblo pie" below the salt, or at the second table. But this Is not supported by authority. It more probably came Into use simply thrjugh the similarity of sound, there being no similarity of mennlng whatever between the noun umbles or uiiiiibles aud the adjective bumble. The Law of Gravitation. lu 1809 seventy-seven years before the publication of Newton's ."PrlncJ plu" Shakespeare in the play of "Trollus and Cressida," act 4, scene 2. makes oue of bis characters say: Do to thte body what extremity you can. But the strong base and building of my love s ae the very center of the earth, Drawing all things to It. This would seem to look very like the announcement of the law of gravi ty, and yet nothing can possibly be truer than the fact that the great poet did not in any substantial sense untie! pate the philosopher, neiwccu Shake speare's fancy and the sclentiflc tri umph of N'ewtou i here Is an infinite difference. New York American. Moral Courage. A schoolteacher once told her cluss thnt the courage which mukes us do what we think right, regardless of the sneers of others, was morul courage, tbe best kind. "Then If n boy has a box of candy, like me yesterday." said a lad. "and If he eats It all himself, without giving any lo people that have uo right to it, no matter how much they call him mean and stingy, that there's mornl courage, nlu't II. teacher?" The Time Not Ripe. Anxious Patron Doctor, don't you think you'd better call In some other physicians for consultation? Family Doctor (cheerfully) Oh, no: not yet. There Is still some hope. New York Weekly. She Admitted It. "What do you nsk for this plaque?" Inquired an old gentlcmun of tbe pret ty girl lu charge of a church bazaar. "One guiuea." she replied. "Areu't you a Utile dear?" queried the old gentleman. "Well," answered the pretty girl, blushing, "that's what the boys all tell me."

He directed his executors to collect all the loans be bad made me." Boston Transcript. Merely Local. Young Thomas, altllcted with a green apple pain in his midst, thus explained his condition to his mother: "Mother, I've got an awful bad pain right In the middle of my stomach, but the rest of ine feels flue!"
