Threshing is a thing of the past in this place, which amounted to 25,000 bushels. Lewellea, Dubois & C . thieshep 15,000 bushels and Howil Brothres, 10,000 bushels. Quite an exciting time was had on the 8th. An east wind revived smould ering fires on the Kidgeway place and Al Cary's place. The threshing crew had to be called out to subdue the flames. After 50 cords of wood, which belonged to tl Dubois, had been burned, it was gotten under control. The fire started near Bu6ch's ranch. The o'her evening Earl Shibley went to hi Hi in the cows out of the pasture, and his little dog got after a panther, which took after it, and Earl concluding it was getting rather a mixed-up affair and thought it would be a good policy to to have a larger dog and gun, so he ran across the field and got Mr. Kan die and Mr. Austin and his dog, and after an exciting time they succeeded in killing the panther, which measured 7)4 feet from tip to tip. Miss Ora and George Lewellen have returned from Eastern Oregon, where they went for the former's health .which ia not much improved, and fears are entertained that her lungs are affected.

When Sickness Comes to the head of the lamiiy tne oreaa winner, the omnipresent thought is "Have I safely provided for the wife aud little ones" Nine times out of ten, "No" is the answer, it is men too late, nowever, to do anything. The essential thing to do is to prepare now for what may occur at anytime. An investigation of the Mas sachusetts Muttial's new policies and bonds, will, without a doobt, bring to your notice a contract that will exactly suit your case. If interested, fend a postal, giving your name, address, ocenpaton and date of birth, when an illustration will be sent yon, showing exactly what the company will do for you. No guess work about it, as the dividends are paid annually and not witLkeld for twenty vears or so, and then not paid unless the contract is in force at that time. II. G. Colton.

His mother and father are still In Europe, no one knows where. It's all overwork, the doctor says, and he ought to be thank ful It's not total blindness. But I'd be cross, too, If I had to sit In a dark room for six months without any one to read to me. And he's so anxious to get on with his law." Nona Stewart gazed intently at the visitor, whose jetted fringe rattled a Castanet accompaniment to her stream of talk. Who ought to be thankful? The talkative lady did not say. . When she had gone, Nona slipped from her corner by the window and stood behind the great chair where her grandmother sat winter and summer playing solitaire. "Grandmother," she said questionlng ly, "who ought to be thankful, and why must it last six months?" "Eh? Why, of course he ought to be thankful. . Inflammation of the eyes is no joke even if he did bring it on try ing to learn everything In one year. Commend me to young men for a par cel of fools." And the old lady snap ped a king of hearts on a queen and shuffled the pack viciously. "Grandmother" again the sma,ll brown head peered around the corner of the great eared chair "who did you say it was?" "Who? Why, young Thil Strong, of course, the most reckless youngster that ever lived. I ought to know too. Wasn't his grandfather my own cous in? Wasn't he just the same, obstinate ns a rebel?" "Grandmother, did you say that he was all alone?" "Mercy upon us, child, what next? Yes, he's all alone. Look out of the window all day If you want to, and you won't see a soul go out or in ex cept the doctor and the butcher's boy. At this time of year all the silly peo ple have rushed off to roast at the sea side, and there's no one In town to go and see any one," Nona looked out of the window at the bouse opposite. For days she had wondered who it could be that the doc tor went to see. "I should think he would be lonely," said Nona to herself. "I should think he would want some one to come and read to him." There was a long pause. "And he's a kind of cousin, too, besides being my neighbor. - I should think. And granilmotner taues her nap every afternoon at 4." "Here's your cousin come to read to you, Mr. Phil." The old housekeeper pushed open the library door and stood aside for the young girl who had fol lowed her up stairs. "What?" came in a weary growl from the darkness. "Who's going to read to me?" But the housekeeper had departed, and Nona was left standing in the mid dle of a very large, very closely cur tained room, with a shadowy somebody who had turned his bandaged eyes up on her in a way that made her wonder why she had ever come and how she could get away without speaking. Aud as she stood there tli!1 voice repented, "Who's thai?" Nona twisted her lingers together. "I-I hoard my ,"iv.m;n'.;ilier say that you hadn't any one to n.-nl io you and that it might last sis r.;:.i!:n." She could get no further, but it was too late to retreat then. At her first words the person sprawl ing In the big chair had risen abruptly, saying: 'Tardon me. I UiUn t quite understand what that beast of a cook said." How polite he. was compared with a moment before! "Your grand mother is tiuite right. I haven't any one to speak a Christian word to." Who was this girl anyhow? lie wished that he dared pull up the Danaage ror a sec ond. ' If her face matched her voice well, anyhow, if she were as homely as sin she was an angel to come and read to him. "It's awfully good of you. Mlss"- "Stewart, Nona Stewart, just across the street," she hastened to tell him. "It's mighty good of you, Miss Stew art. What shall I get you-I mean, won't you find a book? I stayed in fcvwn to studv. and I haven't seen a book since I came here. This cursed luck I beg your pardon I mean my eyes went back on me just ns I began to read for my degree." "Oh, that's what 1 came to read, if you'll let me," added Nona, glad that blushes could not be beard by people who couldn't see them. "Let you?" laughed the young man. "Indeed I will, though I'm afraid you'll find contracts dull work.'' "Indeed, It won't be dull a bit," pro tested Nona, her eixteen-year-old heart iwelling proudly as she settled herself near the window, where the light was cautiously let In. Wasn't she doing unto her neighbor as she would be done by? "I shall like it, I am sure." she de clared. "And I love her for doing It," said the young- man- to himself at the end of a month ns ho sat and waited for 4 o'clock aud Nona. But 4 o'clock came, then 5 o'clock, and brought no one. Nona did not come the nest day or the next. Philip Strong grew crosser and crosier, and the doctor shook his head and deolarad that all the progress he had made In the last month would be lost if be did not stop fretting. "Doctor." said the young man one day, "d.) you know anybody In th!i BtrVet of the i mine of Stewart?" "I did," Bald the doctor, "but sk died last week what?" "Nothing; a a sharp pain In my eyes. O Lord, doctor, I can't stand It I" "I told you this worrying and fret Mng would Injure your eyes. I wish your father would come. I'd send you to the hospital tomorrow." Philip Strong hesitated and looked up and down the street. He had come out to Tarrytown to make a will, and be did not see the house he had been directed to. A young girl was coming toward him. lie waited and lifted his hat. "Can you tell me where Henry Lloyd lives?" he asked. As he spoke the girl, who had been looking at him, put her hand to her forehead quickly and blushed. "I yes that Is, Henry Lloyd" she be gan, but at the sound of her voice the young man started forward, the blood rushing to his face. "Nona," he said stammerlngly, "Nona Stewart! I swear I'd know that voice in a thousand." "Yes," said the girl, with a tremulous laugh, as he took her hand. "And yon are Mr. Strong, are you not? But why do you look as if you had seen a ghost?" "Because I thought at first that you were one," he answered, still holding her hand as if to assure himself. "They told me that the reason you never came any more was because you were dead." "WThy, that was grandmother," said Nona. "And I never had a chance to explain. I" "I never had a chance to explain either," said Philip slowly, looking at her. "Explain what?" asked the girl. "How much I love you," answered Chilip. How He Announced It. There was a minister in a little Ne braska town who had two matters which were very close to his heart. He had prayed long and earnestly that the mortgage of the church might be paid off and that he might have a son and heir. Not long ago a boy came to gladden his heart and home, and on the same day the rich mau of the village died, leaving $3,000 with which to pay off the church debt. The town was wild with excitement over the double event, and bets were freely made as to which subject was closest to the minister's heart and which he would refer to first in his ser mon on the following Sunday. The eventful day arrived, and excitement ran high. There was an expectant hush when the minister entered the nulpit. "Mv friends," he said, "you know what has been close to my heart for manv years, and you know of the Joy ful happenings of the past week; and now, my friends, I want you to join with me in thanking God for the suc cor that has been sent us." And then all bets were off. Science For Its Own Sake. A prominent feature in Faraday s character was his absolute love of sci ence for his own sake. He freely gave his discoveries to his world when he' tould easily have built up a colossal fortune upon them. He once told his friend. Trofessor Tyndall. that at a certain period of his career he had defl nitelv to ask himself whether he should make wealth or science the object of his life. He could not serve both mas ters and was therefore compelled to choose between them. When preparing his well known memoir of the great master, the professor called to mind this conversation and asked leave tol examine his accounts, and this is the conclusion the professor arrived at: Taking the duration of his life Into account, this son of a blacksmith and apprentice to a bookbinder had to de cide between a fortune of 130,000 on the one side and his unendowed science on the other. He chose the latter and died a poor man. But his was the glory of holding aloft among the na tions the scientific name of England for a period of forty years. Parrola. There is an idea that the brilliantly colored parrots do not talk. There is no reason why they should not, and many possess the Imitative instinct. One of the most richly colored of all Is the purple capped lory, from the Mo luccas. Its whole body Is crimson and rose, Its wings are green and Its crest is purple. It is a thickset bird, like a big bullfinch, and can be highly educated. It is tame and gentle, an excellent "linguist" and mimic, never shrieks and is very amiable. It is also a ven triloquist. It Is worth noting that some of the lories, which are very fond of flowers, have been poisoned by being given la burnum blossoms. There is a belief that parrots should not be allowed wa ter to drink, but only sopped food. We believe that this Is a mistake which causes them great misery. They are not great water drinkers, and some species can go without It for a consid erable time; but in their native state most of those that have teen observed come regularly to the water holes to drink.
