ance was bad and niurh was aaid and
done toward our life insurance. It beinn
the annual flection ol officers, some very
good selection were made. The ladies

bars of the grange are in favor of, that of
women sufferage.
Much good talk was had concernin

interest and increasing our membership,
The reports from the various granges

to the point, and Pomona feast, the best
of all, was nice indeed. They all agreed
that Milwaukie would be the next place

Tha Cuh of a Wsnderfal Hit
tha Lata Bill Kja.
James Whitcoinb Riley tells a quaint
story of bis formor lecturing partner,
Bill Nye. It was the opening of their
joint season. They bad both been rasti
eating during the vacation and were
brown as berries. Nye looked much like
an Othello in his sun burned make up,
and Riley suggested to him the applica
tion of some "liquid white, "aooaiiietio
much affected by the gentler sex of the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the kind
before be filled the palm of his hand
with it and carefully smeared it over
his countenance. There was no mirror
in his primitive dressing room, and
Riley was beautifying himself on the
other side of the stage.
lne "liquid white" dries out some
what like whitewash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was a
sight to behold. His head looked like a
frosted top piece on a wedding cake.
His face, white as the driven snow, was
expressionless aud blank. The audience
shrieked, and when he came off from
his first selection they demanded his
reappearance. He obliged them to howls
of laughter. Again he made his exit,
and again was redemanded by the up
roarious audience.
Believing he had made a hit, he was
about to return to the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried, "William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
"Nothing but its usual expression,
toy dear. "
"Expression I Fiddlesticks I Ton 're a
fright," cried his wife, and leading
him to where there was a piece of broken
looking glass showed him how he
looked.
Nye was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley, just about going on the
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol
lowed bim on and been revenged but
for the intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his next selection was read
without "a hand" from the audienca

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
Tha Armies of Europe Bar Varlooa Bale
Regulating It.
The restrictive conditions at present in
force with re.svd to the marriage of
officers in the Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance in the
case of officers under the age of 23. Be
tween the ages of 23 and 28 years the
dot of an officer's wife must amount to
a sum representing the minimum in
come of 250 rubles yearly.
.On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same question
in other European armies it may be
noted that in the Austria-Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by a fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade,
and, these totals being reached, all fur
ther marriages must be deferred pend
ing the occurrence of vacancies in the
married establishmenta
The Italian army regulations, which
fix the income of the fiancee at a mini
mum of from 1,200 to 2,000 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
. operation. Italian officers, however, ap
ply a somewhat liberal interpretation to
this law, with the result that the num
ber of marriages occurring under actual
provisions does not exceed more than an
eighth of the total number, seven
eighths of the officers being united un
der the conditions of the religious cere
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to all the inconveniences which
attend a marriage not recognized by
civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap
pear to bo incurred by Russian officers,
and suggestions have been mado by the
press in Russia that a general revision
f the law is becoming necessary. The
question is assuming some importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
. reaching a total number of nearly 40,
000, represent one of the most impor
tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Citizen.

It Is not generally known that a former
citizen of Owonsboro brought across the,
ocean the first elephant that was ever In
America. Thn name of the gentleman
was Moses Smith, w ho at cue time own
ed a vast body of land from the mouth
of Panther creek up the river, embrac
ing nearly all the prtwnt farms in the
neighborhood of Sorgho. Mr. Smith was
at Paris with his brother and had
"moro money than he knew what to do
with. " Ho told his brother that he in
tended taking something to America
that the people hud uever seen. "Yon
had better buy an elephant," said the
jocular brother, and that was what
Moses did.
He picked out the biggest animal he
could find and paid an enormous price
for it He brought it to New York,
where it was a uine days' jrondor, but
the owner soon found that he had some'
thing worse than the proverbial white
elephant on his hands. He tried to sell
it, but could find no buyer and at last
undertook to give it away, in which he
was equally unsuccessful. Finally he
fouud a man who agreed to pay him
f 100 for it, and this individual put it
on exhibition. He was so successful
that he went into the show business and
made a fortuue out of Mr. Smith's fol
ly. Colonel Frauk McKernan of Adair-
ville is a grandson of Mr. Smith, who
lived to a great age at his home in this
conuty. Oweusboro (Ky.) Inquirer.
Sataa at Camp Meeting.
We will call him Bishop Simmons,
During the itfternoon tho younger min
istcrs bad listened to him with venera
tion aud respect, aud when their turn
came tney round mm a dignified and
careful listeuer.
The afternoon was delightful and the
ramp meeting service was a long one.
Tho good bii-hup was a keen lover of the
weed, and after the meeting bad closed
he strolled otf for a siuoka At a little
distance he found an abrupt ledge en
tirely oat of tbe view of the camp
grounds, and going down around to the
foot of this he lit hiscigarand prepared
for a quiet half hour.
As it chanced, soon after one of the
younger ministers took a walk from the
grounds, and finally came to the top of
the same ledge, and, looking down, saw
the bishop.
For the space of a moment or two he
stood with a gleam in his eye, and then,
stooping down, he said in a sort of tri
umphant tone:
"Ah, Father Simmons, I've caught
you burning incense to the devil. "
The bishop took out his cigar and
turned about till he bad swung ths
speaker fully into view, and then added
slowly in a deep voice:
"But I didn't know he was so near. '
