outline tlie design and lettering of the

SERMON ON DEAD ONES
BY GENERAL KILLFEATHER
Takes Christmas Text Prom St. Paul and Robert Emmet, and Says All Life's
a Cemetery Full of Fellows Who Don't Know They're Killed Off.
ENERAL KILLFEATHER spent
G
the day before Christmas in a cem
etery, with the bones and the
ashes of the departed. The General
was building for some sleeping soul a
resting-place of sentimental stone and
Portland cement. As he worked and
glanced from one sepulcher to another,
his memory often framed within a
once-known name the portrait of some
vanished patriot. There lay the dust
of one who had made Portland's rain
drops throb with forgotten eloquence;
here the relics of another who had
fought the oppressors of his precinct;
and here, again, the last vestiges of one
who would have found place among
the martyrs had he been taken oft by
British tyranny instead of by freedom's
chills and fever.
The General was In a contemplative
mood when ha got back to the city.
Quoth he:
"When I entered that sanctuary of
the dead an" with me eyes beheld th'
ghost-like symbols of mortality, the
words of the great St. Paul pressed
upon me memory, an' I thought of the
many fellers who, like ghosts, are
walkin" through the political graveyard
an' don't know they're dead." Whereat
the General quoted a yard of Scripture:
" 'Then Paul stood in the midst of
Mars Hill and said. Ye men of Athens,
I perceive that in all things ye are too
superstitious.
"'For, as I passed by and beheld
your devotions, I found an altar with
this inscription: "To the Unknown
God." Whom, therefore, ye ignorantly
worship, him declare I unto you.
" 'God. that made the world and all
things therein, seeing that he is Lord
of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in
temples made with hands.
" 'Neither is worshipped with men's
hands, as though he needed anything,
seeing he giveth to all life and breath
and all things.
" 'Forasmuch, then, as we are the off
spring of God, we ought not to think
that the Godhead Is like unto gold or
silver or stpne, graven by art and man's
device.' "
The General recited this passage
from his great saint with impassioned
Irish tenseness. Then, as soon as the
first ice of the solemnity was broken,
he resumed:
"Ashes what even green grass won't
grow near; gravestones what even
won't stand up straight, and what take
green slime in place of white inno
cence; epitaphs what tell th' divll's
black lie in God's pure sunshine. Me
frinds, all life's a graveyard full of
hones an' ashes of stiffs what don't
know they're dead. On the square,
they don't know they're dead an" can't
never be resurreeted. They build tem
ples an' write epitaphs like the fellers of
Athens, what Saint Paul spoke to.
BOY'S LEG BROKENS
Newsboy Injured in Scramble
for Pennies Tossed.
LITTLE FELLOW CRIPPLE
Caught I'nder Tangle of Fighting
Youngsters Who Gratify Per
Terted Sense of Humor of Men
Throwing Coins) in Street.
Just because someone thought he had
an idea of humor and an original way
of dispensing Christmas cheer, little
Harry Lewis, a 10-year-old newsboy, lies
at his home. 645 Front street, with a
broken leg, and hundreds of other news
boys got slimy and filthy from falling
on the wet and dirty streets. The self
appointed philanthropist thought it a
huge Joke to throw money Into Sixth
street. Just before the time for the Tele
gram to go to press. It was fun to watch
these little street merchants scramble
for the money.
The first money was thrown from some
window in The Oregonlan building and it
was quickly taken up by a lot of thought
less men and boys that lined the street
to watch the fun. In a short time there
was a howling mob of newsies scram
bling for the silver pieces. Policeman
Murphy attempted to stop the money-
throwing and he was roundly abused by
the brainless bystanders. The big Irish
policeman knew that among the hundred
or more boys fighting and scuffling for
the money were a number of crippled
youngsters, and he knew that some of
the weaker ones would get hurt, because
the melee was worse than any football
skirmish that ever took place on Mult
nomah Field.
Among the romping, struggling boys
was Harry Lewis, or as he is called by
his companions. "The Owl." He Is a
cripple and a mite of a little chap, but hs
was In the thick of the scramble, some
more money was thrown and Harry made
a dive for the coin. In an Instant the
boys were piled 20 deep upon him. and In
the scuffle some lad stepped upon his
thin and wasted left leg. The bone
snapped like a match and from under
neath the mass of tangled legs and
bodies came a piercing cry of pain
What Policeman Murphy feared had hap
pened, and Harry Lewis' Christmas was
ruined.
The youngster was carried into Dr. J.
D. Fenton's office in The Oregonlan
building and Dr. Fenton found that the
bone between the ankle and the knee
had been snapped In two. With the as
sistance of several of Harry's little com
panions, the leg was set and he was re
moved to his home in an ambulance.
Sixth and Alder street was not the
only place where money was thrown to
the newsboys. This thoughtless means ot
enjoyment was carried on at several
places on Washington street, but ionu
nately no one was Injured.

CIALS OF HARRIMAS JuIXES.
Passenger Agent 3IcMurray Home
From California Fonnd Lively
Interest In Northwest.
William McMurray. general passen
ger agent of the Harriman lines in
Oregon, returned Thursday night from
a 10 days' trip to California. He said
yesterday that In conference with rail
road officials In San Francisco, the mat
ter of most Importance to Portland
and Oregon discussed was with refer-
Whom, therefore, ye ignorantly worship,
him I declare unto you."
"But what's that got to do with the
Big Thing this Winter?" asked some
body from among the walking dead
ones.
"What do ye mean?" responded Gen
eral Killfeather.
"Is Chamberlain a dead one?" ex
plained the interrogator.
The disciple of Saint Paul received
the query with disdain. "A dead one."
said he, "is a feller what's fell between
two stools. George ain't fallen yet.
When he does, you ring me up.
According to the General's version, all
life's a cemetery, full of dead ones, who
don't know they're killed off. The great
mission of the General Is to discover this
fact to the played-out brethren. Every
day he walks up and down that long
cemetery Washington street pidking
out the dead ones and trying to teach
them the fact and quoting, as proof,
chapters of Scripture and passages from
Bob Emmet, Dan Webster, Pat Henry,
Jim Blaine, Dan O'Connell and Ed
Burke.
"The trouble with lots of fellers," re
marked the General, "Is they think
they're martyrs. Just because they was
killed off. But let me show ye a real
martyr, what don't need no marble
slab nor epitaph, and what has his
sepulcher in the hearts of his country
men." Whereupon he quoted the last
words of Bob Em. 'et:
My Lords, you are Impatient for the
sacrifice the blood which you seek Is not
concealed by tlie artificial terrors that sur
round your victim; It circulates warmly
and unruffled through the channels which
God created for nobler purposes, but which
you are bent to destroy . for purposes so
grievous that they cry to Heaven. Be yo
patient! I have but a few words to say.
I am going to my cold and silent grave;
my lamp of life is nearly extinguished;
my race is run; the grave opens to receive
me and I sink into its bosom! I have but
one request to ask at my departure from
this world: It is the charity of its silence!
Let no man write my epitaph; for as no
man who knows my motives dare now vindi
cate them. Let not prejudice or isrnorance
asperse them. Let them and me repose In
obscurity and peace and my tomb remain
unlnscrlbed until other times and other men
can do Justice to my character. . When my
country takes her placa among the nations
of the earth then, and not till then let
my epitaph be written. I have done.
Here the General took out his hand
kerchief and wiped the dim from his
eyes. His repeating of Emmet's last
words was accompanied by the intona
tion and the gesture that have made
the General famous as an orator.
"So long as a free people feel the
thrill of freedom coursing through their
veins." said he. "they will honor Ire
land's great patriot and savior, even
beside Jesus Christ himself. In the
words of Patrick Henry. "Give me liber
ty or give me death!' That's the stuff
for me." and the General put back his
handkerchief in his pocket, and hied
away.

little pride to refer to the progress
which the schools have made dur

Harrisburg does not have much of
which to boast except the mag

the city, unless it . ba the schools
and the fine new buddings in which
they are held.
So favorably has his work been
received that Mr. Paulson has been
given an additional teacher to
carry on the work to better advan

still another, meaning the addition
of an extra year to.the High School

SPLASH HIKES PRESENTS
FALL FROM WATER WAGON" DIS
ASTROUS FOR TWO FRIENDS.
Kacli Buys Gift for Other's Wife,
but Flowers Are Found to
Be Safest.
This falling off the water wagon on the
day before Christmas Isn't all that it's
Cracked up to be, especially if t.ie good
wife at home cannot see any humor in
it either before or after the fall. This
little story has to do with a tumble off
the sprinkler by two well-known railroad
contractors. They hadn't met for some
weeks, perhaps months, and both knew
that Idaho was on the map. They came
together Thursday afternoon and over the
cheering glass discussed the latest thing
In railroad contracting, the depth of this
cut and the number of feet of earth in
the roadbed at a certain point, an.I kin
dred topics.
Both had been glued to the seat of the
water wagon for months. Not ones dur
ing that time had the cart even collided
with the curb with sufficient force to
send a hat to the pavement. Tl'.ev just
clung to the lofty perch, for each knew
the good wife at home did not like the
Idea of smelling her master's breath. The
joy of meeting, the time and the occa
sion, all made that silly thing called the
mind forget for the time being :h wife's
objection. The fall the pair took J.-om the
wagon that the whlte-ribboners look
upon with pride was not a disastrous one,
for they still remembered there was a
dnner to be eaten.
Now comes the story. It was Christ
mas Hve, the time and occasion of smilee
and happiness. They realized the fun
and gladeomness of the thing they fully
appreciated would not be appreciated at
home, so to square themselves, they de
cided to buy presents. Through the
fumes of the good cheer they h.vi supped
during the afternoon hours came a happy
thought Jones would buy a present for
Clark's wife and Clark would buy one
for Mrs. Jones. Great. Then they or

dered another bottle of the sparkling
juice of the grape and over the rims of
the bubbling wine the luckless nair ex
changed smiles of content. The frag
rant wine drifted down the human sub
nay and soon it was time to buy the
presents.
Out on Washington street th pair
cruised, and casting an anchor to port
thev hove to in a jewelry store, and
there Clark made a purchase. Jones
being a bit wiser, waited until they
sighted a flower store. He knew, wise
man that he is, that there never could bo
a mistake in buying flowers. He bought
flowers yesterday morning, he could not
for the life of him tell what kind, but he
knew he was safe, for they were flowers.
Arriving home. Jones, with a meekness
born of a guilty conscience, received his
scolding. His joy at his arrival was keen
but he was too wise to try and thaw
the frost of his reception. He would wait
until Christmas morning and Mrs. Jones
had opened her Christmas present from
Clark.
Mrs. Jones opened her package, and as
she was untying the siring there was a
forsrivlne smile on her lips. Out of the
neatlv done up package peered a fine
morocco case and the smile widened. At
last it was opened and nestling snugly
in a nest of velvet was a razor, a lather
brush and all the other necessary articles
for a man's shaving outfit. Guess the
answer. Was Mrs. Jones pleased? Any
way she saw the huge humor of it all
for she told the story yesterday morning
at hreakfast at the Nortonia. Jones
wears a beard.
