SHERIFFS SURETY
LOSES DAMAGE SUIT
A jury in Circuit Judge Campbell's
court returned a verdict of $582.50 in
favor of C. Shrucken against Sheriff
E. T. Mass, $282.50 being for mer
chandise sold by the sheriff and $250
damages. Mr. Strucken owned mer
chandise sold by the sheriff, which
had changed hands several times be
fore' he bought it. The Merchant's
Protective Association was in reality
the defendant in the case as it had
provided a bond of $3,000 for the pro
tection of the sheriff. It sued out a
writ of attachment against George
Ketch, a former owner, under a law
which provides when the owner of a
store sells out he must give all cred
itors five days' notice and make an
affidavit to that effect. The jury went
out Tuesday evening and deliberated
the entire night, returning a sealed
verdict Wednesday morning. Struck
en was represnted by Dimick & Dim
ick and the defendant by Angell &
Fisher of Portland.
EFFECTIVE USE OF LACE
A gown which otherwise would be
noticeably plain has been raised to
distinction by the judicious use of
bands of heavy cream lace. A band
sufficiently broad to extend quite a
ways upon the sleeve trime the right
side of the surplice blouse and ap
pearing again on the left side of the
crossed tunic produces the effect of
a blouse and tunic in one. . The back
of the bodice and the tunic are dupli
cates of the front. The sleeves reach
slightly below the elbow where they
are finished with a turn back cuff of
the heavy lace. Plain white silk
forms the novel shield.

RICH AND UNHAPPY
To the wotiiiin of the lions":
Are you tired f your daily drudgery
Does the monotony of your wor-.
which is never done, wear you to the
edge of revolt?
Does the utter uselessness of doing
things over mid over again loom large?
Are you wishing for riches and rai
ment and leisure and luxury and
travel?
Then consider this woman.
Sophie Irene Loch tells about her.
She has ahnridant wealth and leisure,
and yet she is discontented and dis
satisfied. This woman lias everything life can
give save one thing happiness. She
is never at peace. Her breakfast !a
brought to her bed. A maid dresses
her Servants cater to her slightest
wish.
She travels much" and has the most
expensive' staterooms in the steamers
and on the train. She lives at the best
hotels Rut
She has nothing to do.
In consequence she is always discon
tented and wishing for something, she
knows not what. She gets lonesome
and feverish and fretful and is con
stantly asking, "What's the use of it
all?"
This woman says:
"I envy the woman who works. Ev
ery hour of the day has a value, a rea
son. She fills a need. I wander about
for a new interest, a new thrill." ,
Why doesn't she go to work?
"That's just it." she says. "Where
would be the incentive, the need? Be
sides. I don't know how to begin. I
would have to make myself need to
work, and I can't make believe."
Do you see?
This woman has more wealth and
more leisure than she knows what to
do with. She does not know the joy
of the worker, the compensation that
comes with a task well done.
Which is the happier?
You with your commonplace task or
she with her leisure?
You answer, of course, there is such
a thing as a happy medium between
extreme wealth and" poverty And so
there is. And you. probably, are nei
ther poverty stricken nor rich.
Can you not subtract from the sting
of your discontent which, after all. is
but occasional- by this glimpse Into the
life of one extreme?
The Rajah Diamond.
The largest known diamond before
the discovery of the famous Cullinan
diamond near Pretoria, afterward pre
sented Jo King Edward VII. of Eng
land, was the Rajah, which once be
longed to the rajah of Mattan. It is
an egg shaped stone, weighing 3G7
carats. At one time the goftrnor of
Borneo offered for it 100,000, two war
vessls fully equipped, a number of can
non and a quantity of powder and
shot, but this offer was refused, the
rajnh believing that the fortunes of his
family were connected with this gem.
SHIPMENT OF HOGS
Country killed hogs are showing a
weak tone in the Portland markets
for the day and the prices are lower.
As a rule the better class offerings
are being quoted at 10c a pound, al
though an occasional transaction for
something extra select may perhaps
be a fraction better than this.
Receipts for dressed hogs in the
Portland markets during the last 48
hours were very heavy Wednes
day" s express brought a more liberal
supply than has been received here
for many a day.
Retailer's wants are now quite well
taken care of and much difficulty is
shown at the moment in unloading
witn promptness. The recent neavy
runs of live hogs have added to the
weakness in the dressed hog trade,
the former having a direct effect on
the latter.
While dressed hogs are weaker and
lower a steady tone is ruling for coun
try killed veals. Prices in this line
are showing no change for the day,
offerings moving off quite well at the
previous range.

THE WIDOWS
GOAT
By M QUAD
Copyright, 1912. by Associated Lit
erary Press.
Deacon Carter of the village of
Romeo was a good man and a good
neighbor. He never refused to lend
his hoe or his wheelbarrow, and his
wife Just ddted on lending her flatirons
or washboard. The deacon would have
no more hurt a person's feelings than
he would have jumped off the bridge
into Thornapple creek, and that he was
ever to be threatened with a lawsuit
was the last thing te be thought of.
One day the deacon got a message to
the effect that his widowed daughter
over at Glen Dale was dying, and he
borrowed a horse and buggy and drove
over. The daughter had no children
to mourn her. The father got there
in time to receive her last instructions
and to close her eyes.
The widow had neither dog nor cat
but in place of either or both had a
goat It had been sent to her when
young from a distance, and they had
learned to love each other. The goat
had made no trouble at all. and the
daughter charged her father to take
Billy home with him and watch and
guard him and treat him with loving
kindness.
The goat was brought home and
made to understand that it's future
lines were to be cast in pleasant places.
It was given the run of the yard, and
for three days its attitude elicited sym
pathy and commendation. It really
shed tears over the mistress and the
home it had lost, and then it braced up
and became playful.
The deacon had a tomato patch, and
he went out one morning to pick two
or three tomatoes to go with his- break
fast. As he gathered them there was
a concussion, and it was ten minutes
later when his wife came out and found
him just coming to himself again.
"W-what is it, Jeptha?" she gasped.
"The the goat!"
"What about him?"
"Came ot the run and struck me
with his head!"
"But I don't see how he"
But she did see. The goat came
bounding on like a cyclone and bowled
her over and over until she struck the
row of sunflowers.
Two days passed quietly, but on the
evening of the second the goat quietly
slipped his collar and slipped out to
see the sights of Romeo. While rang
ing around he encountered six different
persons on their way to prayer meet
ing. He took them in as fast as he
came to them. Some went rolling into
the ditch and some against the fence,
but all underwent the same sensation.
They thought a tree had fallen on
them.
Even a good man can't escape conse
quences if he is the owner of a butting
goat Next day six limping people
wanted to know what Deacon Carter
was going to do about it Like the
square man that he was, he offered
them $3 apiece and made settlements.
"If it wasn't that I had promised
Hanner on her dying bed." he said to
his wife as the last victim limped
away.
"I know, I know, deacon," was the
i
reply. ,
"We'll have to keep him."
"We will." .
"Durn his hide!"
"S-s-s-h: There he stands in the
door!"
That night the goat was shut up in
the barn, but there was a window
through which he jumped, taking the
sash and glass with him. Mr. Griggs,
the grocer, had locked up and was on
his way home when some white ob
ject flashed before his eyes, and he
knew no more for half an hour. The
sexton of the Baptist church had spent
two hours sweeping and dusting and
had started for his fireside with his
bands clasped under his coattails. He
went down like ripe barley before the
sickle. His last impression was that
a meteorite had fallen from the night
sky and plunked him between the
shoulders.
There were half a dozen others that
were treated to various surprises and
sensations, and this time it cost Dea
con Carter $no to settle.
. "We'll have to sell him." he said to
his" wife, with a sigh.
"And Hanuer's ghost will haunt us!"
The goat was chained up. and for
two days be was a quiet, reflective ani
mal. He stood most of the time with
half closed eyes, as if seeing his past
and hoping to see his future.
Then Sunday came, and the people
gathered at the church. The goat
worked' some sort of hocus pocus on I
that chain and was once more at lib
erty. The front doors of the church
stood wide open, as if Inviting all the
goats to- enter with the sheep, and
this goat entered. He entered on the
run. and within three minutes he had
driven out the congregation.
Could such a thing as that be over
looked and the offender forgiven? You
know it could not With pickets
pulled from the fence, with clubs and
rocks and umbrellas, they swarmed
for the goat. and. though he fought
back, they were too many for him.
Thev finally hemmed him in on the
bridge, closing In to take his life, when
he went over-the rail into the creek
and was drowned.
"I s'pose Hanner is an angel," ob
served the deacon's wife as they sat
together that evening.
"Yes, I s'pose so."
"And she eaw it all?"
"Yes."
"What do you think she thunk?"
"Probably that she had a fool for a
father."

Truly Considerate.
A considerate patient had an artery
opened by mistake for a vein by a
French surgeon in the operation of
bloodletting. The woman succumbed
not long after to the effect of the blun
der, but in her will left the surgeon a
small yearly pension, "not only to com
fort him, but so that he could live the
rest of his life without doing vivisec
tion any more." A similar historic oc
currence is related in the Medical
Times of a Polish princess who had
had the same experience. She added a
clause to her will expressing her for
giveness and leaving the surgeon a
small pension to indemnify him for the
"loss of reputation that may follow my
sad catastrophe."
Cleopatra's Mummy.
Where does Cleopatra's body rest?
Scarcely a layman who would not an
swer, "Why, in Egypt!" After her ca
joleries, her wiles, her life of intense if
not very exalted loves, Cleopatra was
laid in one of the loveliest tombs that
has ever been fashioned by the hand of
man. But what a change 2,000 years
has brought about! Today an ugly
mummy, with an emblematic bunch of
decayed wheat and a coarse comb tied
to its head a mere roll of tightly
swathed dust lies crumbled in a hide
ous glass case at the British museum.
It is Cleopatra, the once great queen, a
Venus in charm, beauty and love.

TELLS TROUBLES
Lady In Goodwatcr Describes tier
Distressing Experience and
Tells Mow She Was
Finally Relieved.
Goodwater, Mo. ''Ever since I was
a little girl," says Mrs. Riley Laramore,
"I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia.
I suffered misery after eating, and had
terrible heartburn.
I thought I had to suffer this way as
long as I lived, but when I began to take
Thedford's Black-Draught, in small
doses, every night, the heartburn was all
gone in a few days, and I could eat
without distress.
I took two small packages in all, and
although that was some time ago, the
dyspepsia has not returned.
I speak a good word for Thedford's
Black-Draught whenever I have the op
portunity." If eating causes distress, we urge you
to try Thedford's Black-Draught. It
cleanses the system, helps the stomach to
digest its food, regulates the bowels, and
stimulates the liver.
It acts gently and is without bad after
effects. Try it Price 25c.
