Tales of the Street and Town
OBITUARY Bad Estes "has went,"
gone wiere 5tbe "sroodblne twineth;
77erchanbe to haunt some Celestial
heath where every bush holds a meaty
bone? and every fence furnishes a sacred
tomcat. For 10 lone years Bud blushed
and bloomed and gagged his tail In the
drugstore at Sixth and Morrison. He
became the most famous quadruped of
the town; he was familiar with the hum
ble and with the great; be licked the blue
veined hand of fair swelldom and fawned
upon the favors of Ctoydena and hack
drivers. To each and all, before or after
meals, at all hours of night or day, with
democratic courtesy he extended a friend
ly flip, or two of his tail.
But the rose and the daisy, the sun
flower and the potato-bug, must Anally
wither .and pass away. Man and dog
are as grass. They come -up as a flower
and, after wasting some fragrance, are
gathered in by the fell sickle of the
Reaper. . Bud flourished and blossomed,
and was' finally harvested. How It is
need-time with Bud, for he has been
planted (In a blanket shroud) in the
Estes 3arden. After four days of suffer
ing, he succumbed to typhoid-pneumonia
last Wednesday.
Who shall say there are no dog-angels
or rather angel-dogs? No man who
knows dogs believes that they lack any
elemental characteristic of mankind.
Love, reason. Jealousy, hate, cunning, hon
esty or dishonesty, loyalty, courage,
cowardice, magnanimity all the qualities
of man the dog also has. Who shall say
that Bud's soul Is not now roaming the
Elysian fields with that of his old com
rade, Billy Mead? May he rest In
peace.
WEL.IJAM BERNARD, heavy man
of the Baker Company, had a
strenuous part last week- Got knocked
down or choked or otherwise man-handled
In every scene, having the final grand
"kibosh" put on him In the last act where
he Is shot to smithereens in the polyscope.
That was when he was "baffled" to a
"fare-you-well." Bernard says that in
spite of the hard work he liked the part
passing well, though at times tempted to
offset its extreme ferocity by some covert
prank- But he restrained himself, re
membering, perhaps, the gentle chiding he
got one night of "East Lynn," last Sum
mer. It was the last night of the com
pany's engagement at the Baker, and the
occasion was, therefore, tempting. So,
when, as the villain, Bernard's lines were:
"One word more, Lady Isabel, and I
am done forever"; he said instead:
"One word more. Lady Isabel, and I am
done for the season."
It caused Lady Isabel to grimace pain
fully in the effort to hide a grin.
but neither that nor the wigging he got
kept "Billy" from perpetrating further
waggish misreadlngs In the very next act.
VfEN who are petty in petty places
1 I eventually achieve humiliation in
stead of promotion. It Is a twice
told tale of the station baggageman who
was rough-handling a trunk. An elderly,
Inoffensive-looking stranger approached
him with the mild inquiry:
"Are you not liable to cause a suit for
damages against the railroad by the way
you are handling that trunk?"
"I dunno," returned the baggageman,
"do you own It?"
"No," replied the stranger, "but I own
this railroad.
A case in point occurred at a small sta
tion on the O. R & N. line in Eastern
Oregon sometime since. Two Portland
newspaper men chanced to be at the sta
tion waiting for the train to this city.
After half an hour they concluded that
the train was delayed and one of them
applied to the station agent for informa
tion. "Has that train left Pendleton yet?"
he asked..
"D"bnt know,"" growled the agent.
"How long before you expect It along
here?"
"Don't know anything about it."
Crestfallen, the inquirer returned to his
friend. An hour passed when the same
Incident was re-enacted. Another hour
passed and tills time the second newspaper
man approached the window.
"Heard anything from that train yet?"
HOLDS CRIME ON THE INCREASE
College President Says Foundation of
Our Nation's Life Is In Danger.
NEW YORK. March 12. That there has
been a marked Increase in crime and
criminal tendencies among all classes, and
that this condition has been duo to semi
conscious suggestions from various
causes, among them the vulgarity of
newspapers, debased theaters, impure lit
erature, and divorces, all of which may be
remedied, Is the belief expressed by Henry
Hopkins, president of Williams College, at
a meeting here of the Patria Club.
"The foundations of the personal char
acter of our National life aro seriously
threatened," he said, "by ugly features of
the present time. There Is abounding evi
dence of an alarming Increase In crime of
every sort, but particularly of the kind
that undermines honesty, chastity and
respect for law. There is a growing in
fidelity to financial trust and consequent
ly a visible loss of confidence of man In
his fellowmen. Defalcations continue and
multiply in disheartening succession. The
proportion of divorces xo marriages Is as
tonishing and sickening. Disintegration,
decadence and often destruction of the
family and lowering of the home Idea go i
on increasing. '
"But most disheartening and startling
of all s the lawless spirit In towns and
cities, where have grown up crowds of
hoodlums, where there Is an Increasing
population who break out Into reckless
violence at times of strikes and lockouts.
Of the same nature are the worse than
brutal exhibitions In defiance of all au
thority and decency In the lynchlngs and
burnings that dishonor human nature It
self. "One of the most potent, most constant
ly operative causes Is the vast vojume of
criminal suggestion flowing In upon the
public mind through various means: but
especially through the public press. In the
dally recital of criminal actions. In the
average instructions in crime as a fine
art. the reader is taught both how to
perform the crime and how to avoid pun
ishment. ,Dr, Hopkins concluded, however, that
the "total influence" of newspapers is
beneficent, but criticised them for their
alleged tendency to published undesirable
details.

"Don't know anything about it."
"All -right Gimme a telegram blank."
The agent handed pver the blank and
the following dispatch was written quick
ly on It: n
"PieaBe see President Mohler, of the O.
R. & JJ., and get him to find out when
the E ' train will pass here. Impossi
ble to get information at this station."
"Send this at once," directed the news
paper man.
The station agent glanced over It and
wilted. '
"Oh, er ho began stammering, "I hear
something coming over tne wires about
that train now."
"Well, send it, anyhow," ordered the
other, enjoying the situation.
"But er there's no need er the wire
I have Just learned that the train will be

sorry not to have been able to tell you

The dispatch was not sent.
COLONEL BO WEN, formerly of the
South, a gentleman who has traveled
much in the Middle and Western
States, and who now lives .near Mount
Tabor, Touches for the truth of the fol
lowing very unique and interesting snake
story:
"Many years ago," said the Colonel, "I
was traveling In a wagon with a friend
through a region of Southern Kansas not
far from where Wichita now stands. It
was late November. Scarcely any snow
had fallen, but the ground and all ponds
and water-courses were frozen hard. We
were enjoying the ride In the keen air of
that cold, but beautiful day, and were
passing near a ridge of rocks above the
road. Suddenly we noticed a couple of
men near the base of the ridge, and their
actions were so peculiar that curiosity
impelled us to turn off the road and drive
up to them. You can Imagine our aston
ishment when we found that they were
picking stiff-frozen rattlesnakes out of
a small cave In the rocks.
" 'There's whole cords of 'em In there,'
shouted one of the .men to us. 'Wan't to
help glt 'em out?"
"Of course we joined at the work, and
I tell you. sir, we took a powerful lot o
snakes out of that cave. Nearly all of 'em
were rattlers, but they were too much
frozen to be dangerous. Most of 'em stiff
as pokers, though two or three showed
faint signs of lire. Well, sir, wnen we a
cleaned every last one out or that noie.
we found we had a big heap or snaites.
One fellow said:
" There's half a cord thar, least cal
culation.' '
'"Nother fellow says, . 'Cord and a
quarter.' I says, "bout a cord.' So we
made a bet around on It; then we
measured off eight feet and set up stakes
at each end so that the tops of 'em were
Just four feet above the ground. Those
snakes averaged four feet long and, as
most all had frozen straight Instead of In
coll, it was an easy matter to cord 'cm
up. Well, sir, I won the money, for they
measured up just an. even cord as good a
cord as you ever say measured of four-
foot flre-wood. Then we talked over
ways to destroy the bunch, Anally settling
on kerosene. Two or us made a trip to
the nearest ranch-house and got a flvo
gallon can of coal oil. We poured It all
over that pile of snakes and touched off.
The heat quickly tried out the snake-oll
In the pile and this made it burn hotter
than Tophet In two hours there was
nothing but a few ashes in a black spot
to show where that cord of snakes had
been."
HERE'S a "kid" story from the con
ductor of the N. P. night train to the
Sound:
"Among the passengers the other night,"
said he, "were two women and a child
evidently mother, daughter and grandson.
The child had no ticket and I collected
half-fare from his mother. Whereupon
the kid Inquired:
" 'Say, ma'ma, why do you ..have to
pay only half-fare for me?
" 'Because you are bo young, my child,'
replied the mother.
"He chewed" that over for a while and I
passed on. When I came back that way
lie reached over and stopped me.
" 'Say, Mr. Policeman,' said he, 'if you
take half-fare for me does my grand
muzzer have to pay double? "
LUTE PEASE.

Series "of Maneuvers Demonstrates
Strength of Defenses.
