.LV OCTOBER DAY
"AVhat is so rare as a day in June?" An October day in
the Rogue River valley.
Nature having brought all growing things to perfec
tion, produces the perfect day and pauses in her work of
creation to serenely view her labors of the year. Her
strenuous work is over and in peace of. mind she broods
in content over the past and prepares by a season of rest
for the labor of the future.
. It was to make October possible that winter deluged
the land; that blossoms carpeted the hills and birds caroled
their melodies in spring; that the old of the summer's
sky ripened the tasseled grass and dressed the forests in
full leaf verdure; that fall powers refreshed the thirsty
earth and Jack Frost painted the bine upon the grape,
the red upon the apple and the gold upon the pimpkin.
'Tis the most delightful season of the year. The noon
day sun showers its golden splendor on multi-colored hill
and valley. The slight touch of frost has painted in bril
liance the fast falling leaves and yellow and crimson and
the" dark 'of the evergreen mingle in tangled profusion
along the river bed and hill slopes ; the russet brown 'of the
hills is magicly changing to tender green and the stubble
of the grain fields is losing itself in long black furrows,
and the heavily laden orchards are yielding" their fruit
of red and gold -
' There is a tinge of frost in the air to wipe out the evil
growths of a too luxuriant period to dispel the unhealthy
mists that nature's wanton luxuriousness have engendered,
so that she may start anew and'reclothe the world with a
yet more brilliant verdure.
October makes us glad to be alive to enjoy the profusion
that nature has'spilled into one of its favored regions the
Rogue River valley. - ' --

Lord March, afterward the Marqul
of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel wltb unbecoming ap
prehension and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
imbarrasslng to bis adversary. But
be was served at last wltb that sauce
which the proverb explains Is for tbe
gander as well as for the goose. It
was, when be was challenged to flgbt
an Irish sportsman. Lord. March ap
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
wltb a similar retinue, but added to
