Hissing Locomotives Disturb Rest In Oakland, Pa. Pittsburgh. Oakland, the acropolis of Pittsburgh, v til Its trreut halls of art leurulug, Is marred Liy a nui sance worse by far than the vendors whose presence deseernted the Coli seum in Koine or the Rlnlto bridge in Venice, according to members of the Oakland board of trade. This nuisance Is declared to be the night long and day long hissing and fuming of loco motives. This. John Diluting, a mem ber of the board, pointed out. Is not only detrimental to Oakland us a cen ter of art, but it robs mortals, both art ists and business i:,en. of their sleep. Mr Diluting in uu impassioned speech told of locomotives, huge monsters, which seemed to take a demoniacal de light In standing for hours spouting in fernal fumes and hissing fiendishly through their pop valves. Ilepeated protests to the railroad company, he said, were of no avail. A committee was directed to aU the courts to grant an Injunction against the railroad com pany similar tu the one granted some years ago by the supreme court to a Junction Hollow resident now dead.

Secondly, my wife did not attend the meeting in ques tion. In the third place, I did not attend the meeting myself. To conclude neither my wife nor myself had any inclination to go to the meeting. Finally, I never had a wife." Published in an Iowa paper. TABLE TECHNIQUE The applicant for a place as a maid asked the lady: "Do you do your own stretchin'?" "Do we do our own what?" asked the lady.

FARMING THE FARMER After trying a county agricul turist for a year Yamhill county taxpayers voted him out of the budget.

However, it would be unfair to accuse her of teaching them what they know when they grow up. She teaches them only what they have for gotten by that time. The teacher comes to school at 8:30 and when she has gotten enough children for a mess in her room, she teaches, them reading, writing, geography, grammar, arithmetic, music, drawing, cooking, board sawing, crocheting, deep breathing, bird calls, scientific eating, patriot ism, plain and fancy bathing, forestry, civics, and other sciences too numerous to men tion. When school is out she stays behind with five or six of her worst scholars and tries to save the state the job of reform ing them later on. After that she hurries home to make her self a new dress and snatch a hasty supper before going to at tend a lecture by an imported socialist on the history of the tribal law in Patagonia that may give her some information which may be useful in her work some day. Many lecturers roam the country preying on school teach ers and some of them are very cruel, talking to them so long that the poor things have to sit up until morning when they get home to get their daily test pa pers corrected. School teachers' salaries range from $30 a month up but not far enough to make them dizzy. On her salary the teacher must dress herself nicely, buy herself things for her work which the city is too poor to get, go to 29 lectures and concerts a year, buy helpful books on pedagogy, pay her way to district and county and-state institutes, and enjoy herself during a three months' vacation which her salary also takes every year. In addition, the teacher is supposed to hoard away great sums of money, so that when she becomes too nerv ous and cross to teach, at the age of fifty or thereabouts, she can retire and live very happily ever after on her income. There i3 a popular superstition to thft effect that the treat financiers can be found in Wall Street and they gather there every morning but they don't. They gather in the school house3 of the land every morning and as they teach the children of the nation twice as much as they will ever remember, they figure out new ways of dividing $45 into a month's board, a new dress, a trip to the county seat, a pair of shoes, two entertain ment tickets, an insurance assessment and a deposit in the savings bank.

SHOOK HER HAND Eugene ha3 a city ordinance which requires drivers of auto mobiles turning street corners to extend a hand, indicating the di rection in which they intend to turn. A pedestrian of the old school unfamiliar with modern traffic regulations, stood on a promin ent corner. A car drove up, traveling at a slow rate of speed, and a woman extended her hand. The pedestrian, surprised, ex tended his hand and gfasped the woman's hand, shaking it in the ' manner of formal recognition. Admiral Geo. Dewey, hero of Maailla Cay. died Tuesday night.
