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 New Boarder.
"Wnat did you say your uanie was?"
Inquires the landlady tn a hoarse whis
per. '
"Camp."
"Ladles nod gentlemen, this is Mr.
Grant."
She wuven you to' a vacant chair.
The young lady on your right drops a
half bow. 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." "So does iHjlson."
Kins cid repartee! After diuner you
sscend to your ball bedroom and won
der if you will ever be at home In this
eoiupouy. Hut you kuow you will.
Within a month yon wUI be lending
money to the humorous boarder and
perhaps have a love affair started.

Not a Success.
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

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 :

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

The Gnu in the Zoo.
They've got a gnu iu Ihe zoo. H'a a
new gnu. That is to suy, no one ever
knew it there before. 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

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? Boston Globe. :
n uatever may oe mud w w.
man, be cannot be said to be lacking lo
modesty. 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

"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.

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!

speare's fancy and the sclentiflc tri

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

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."
An Indeetructible Color,
The Indestructible floral color is yel
low. Von cannot, even with sulphur
ous acid fumes, destroy It. Take a
heartsease and try. You will consume
the purple tint easily enough, but the
yellow will remain for all your dlthy
fumes. Fry's Magazine.
Remembered.
"Did your uncle remember you In his
will?"
"Yes. He directed his executors to
collect all the loans be bad made me."

Young Thomas, altllcted with a green
