Summer I practically had give up all

Irrythlng looked dismal. I explcted
a very hard Winter an looked for'ard
to harln' to move Into smaller quar
thers. I didn't think there'd fcarMy be
anny harvest. But about October
things begun to look up. Nature took
on a mora bouncheous hue an' at th
prlstnt moment I feel Justyfled in fol

"I wondher what kind lv a Thanka
slvln Tlddy Kosenfelt ia havln'. Ye
!. n't hear much fr'm him these days.
. yer said Mr. Hennessy.
"Am I complalnln'T said Mr. Dooley.
"TlUdy Rosenfelt done late what Ivry
heero shud do Just about th' time he
finds he's a heero. He dove Into th
coal cellar. I don't think he done It
quick enough. If I waa him I wud've
made me escape arller. I wud've ex
cused mesllf fr'm th' embrace so that
I wuddnn't have to fight to keep fr'm
beln' throttled. If I ever become a
heero I'd be th' on'l prom'nent cltlien
mlssln' fr'm th ovation. They wud
meet but they wud miss me. I might
satisfy mo pride be goln up th night
befure an lookln at th' lor'l wreaths,
th' tlstymonyals. th' blue immortelles
an th' Kates ajar. But wBln me en
t husya.it lo fellow cltlsens gathered In
th' mornln' to do me honor with an ad
dhreis Iv welcome In their left hands
an' their right In their hip pockets, a
alhrange man muffled up to th' eyes
might ba seen boordln' a freight fr
Keokuk. It wud be th' heero who
took no chances. Maybe Tlddy Kosen
felt tnjyea beln' a, heero so much that
he'a wlllln' to take th chancea lv beln
lynched aftherward. Annyhow what la
there fr him to say. Th' best ya can
do fr a heero whin he'a escaped th
Just Indignation Iv his admirers ba a
fut or two la to give him a chance to
catch his breath. Let him hide fr
awhile in comfort. Ho'a -down In th'
cellar with th' most prom'nent an' dig
nified people In th' wurruld hurlln"
things at where they think he Is an'
lnvltln' him to come out If he dares.
Maybe he'll watt fr awhile an' thin put
a few lumps lv coal In his pockets, slip
out th' back way aa' fall on th' thrlum
phal pro-clssyon Just as It's break In'
up. Ya nlTer can telL But whatever
he does we'll all ba glad to see him
again. Ye can bet on that. Aven If I
waa a ralmbrr It th' Bankera Pro-tlc-tlve
Assocyatlon I'd say that much.
Ya can't be mad at a man because he
thrled ttJ knock off ye'er stovepipe hat.
onless ye don't like him. If ye ra-aly
don't Ilka him ye cud be mad at him
about annythlng.
"But I didn't start to talk about Tlddy
Rosenfelt. Can't ye get off that aub
JlckT I started to say somethln' about
Thanksglvtn' an' ye turned me mind
away fr'm It. What I. was goln' to
say I don't remlmber. It waa some
thln' about, let me see. oh. that we,
ought to be thankful Ivry day In th'
year an' not wait ontll we get notice
fr'm th authorities that onless we ap
pear on th' last Thursdah In Novlmber
our names will be sthrlcken fr'm th'
rolls. I don't like to have a Thanks
glvtn' proclamation earved on me like a
dispossess notice. I defy th' polls to
ordher ma to be thankful nrxt week
anny more thin th" week befure oi th
week afther. I refuse to be ordhered
around. Iv coorse 1 ain't goln' to ba
a rtter. I won't make anny throuble.
Th" gov'nor won't have to tell mo to
move on an' bo thankful. I'll be thank
ful on Thanksglvtn' day whin Ivrybody
Is accoordln to law an' I'll ba thank
ful th' day afther. whin there's no legal
ralson why I shud be. Ya can't ba
thankful too much or too often. It
don't get ye much but It makes ya In
Jye what ye get more."
. "I haven't been payln" anny attln
tlon to what ya said." Mr. Hennessy
remarked. "Do ye think Taft an" Ros

"They might be." said Mr. Dooley, "If
they didn't have so manny frlnds."

SUCCESSOR TO
351 WASHINGTON STREET
I throw the Seaside Lumber Company
into Involuntary bankruptcy. The com
plaint declares that the mortgages
were riven to the Bank of Seaside and
to F. W. Welter through a conspiracy
to defraud other creditors, and after
the merchandise dealers had supplied
the lumber company with goods of the
value of $272.
The application was signed by 8el
ness & Wheatley, Dresser Mercantile
Company. Morris & Blakemore. R. A.
Price. Andrew Merlla, Leonard Oen.
Samuel Lebeck and J. E. Dillon.
In addition to raising a conflict of
authority between the courts of the
United States and the state of Oregon,
the question now Invoolves a settle
ment of suits brought by the laborers
employed in the logging and sawing
plants of the Seaside Lumber Company,
and of the claims of the Bank of Sea
side for an indebtedness of approxi
mately ISS.000.
The bank is in the hands of Frank 8.
Godfrey, as receiver. Ha is preparini

to brine suit to foreclose the mortgage
it held at the time E. N. Henninger,
cashier, committed suicide.
The petitioners also ask that a con
tract made between the Seaside Lum
ber Company and Edward Joers and
Howard Lalghton, assigning the entire
sash and door output of the mills. It
is averred that the assignment was
made after other Indebtedness was con
tracted and was for the purpose of giv
ing Joers and Laighton an unwarrant
ed preference in collecting money due
them. In that respect it Is -declared
fraudulent by the petitioners.
Oklaltoma Legislature Called.
GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. . Governor
Haskell thla afternoon Issued a procla- I
matlon calling for an extra session of i
the Legislature to assemble November 28,
at Oklahoma City. But one subject is
suggested for legislation, the location of
