The meeting was held at Fireman's Hall, and about 20 business men and citizens ' were present. B. W. Johnson was made chairman, Robert Johnson secretary, and Walter Wiles treas urer. For a few minutes there was desultory discussion concerning the ! amount .that the town should be expected to con tribut. Somebody suggested that about $200 would be a fair donation, and by general con sent 1 the figure was agreed to. Then contribution was asked for, and the Knights of Pythias lodge led off with a contribution of $25. Barnum lodge, of Odd Fellows fol lowed with a, similar amount and the Odd Fellows encampment gave $10. i The turn of $46, left over from the Fourth of July fund oftwo years ago was turned in by the finance committee that raised it at the time, consisting of J.

And it Gave Both' the , Dr. Dentist a Jab. and the He requested that his name be witheld, if his late adventure was deemed of sufficient import to be related in the Times. The gentle man is a new-comer and has not fully made up his mind to settle here, so it is probably best to humor him to the extent of grant ing his wish. He is 72 years old, recently from Kansas, and may be excusable for not being familiar with the ways of Webfoot kids, along about 12 years of age. Two such boys drawing a small wagon were about to pass the old gentle man in the vicinity of the Apple white residence. The Kansan looked good natured and one of the boys addressed him: "Hellow boss, won't you have a ride?" To - the youngsters surprise the old gentle man got into the wagon on -' his hands and knees. One boy winked one eye and the other boy winked another eye. 'AH ready! ' shouted the jolly old chap. The team star ted but immediately became fright ened at an imaginary object and ran away. Tney continued down the street at frightful speed heedless of the rider's cries to "Hold on!" j Vbetter hold on your self," rejoi ned the boy on the near side, but the admonition was not necessary, Presently the outfit collided with the high portion of the crosswalk, The team of course broke lopse from the wagon and ran on to a safe distance. When the front wheels of the vehicle met the obstructi on, the old gentleman pitched headlong onto the walk with rather serious results. A passer-by assisted him to his feet. His face was diffused with blood and dust. He spat out a section of his false teeth and put his hands up to see if all parts . of his facial anatomy were in tact, A hey were not. tis nose had seemingly- been dislocated.: After shaking his fist at the boys and giving the wagon a parting kick he allowed himself to be con ducted to the hear by home ! of a friend. Haying' cleansed himself to some extent he took his teeth to a dentist shop and carried his nose to a physician's office.

" W hat do you want?' ' was asked. I want to give him some money to send to those poor people at Heppner." she replied. How much do you want to send,' The little hand reached into basket in which reposed a little purse and took out $1.20, all of which she proposed to send the sufferers. . It was explained that the money should be taken to the finance committee, and she tripped out of the office on her errand of mercy, more generous in her charity than all the , others, because she hunted the opportunity to give away her, all .
