THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1890. 3 THE ROCKER. Backward and forward the rocker goes, Wafting the baby to sweet repose; Close by the cradle the niotlii r croons Lullaby, rock-a-bye nursery tunes; Dreamily singing she patiently tries Sleep to bring to the baby's eyes. Minute by minute the evening flits, Still in the chair she drowsily sits; Soothing and rubbing the aching gums. Longing for slumber that neyer comes; Rocking the baby that fretfully lies, Filling the room with its nervous ci ies. Weary with watching the mother sings, Wooing the god with the leaduu wings; Softer ami softer the ditty grows, Now the little one's eyelids close; Sinking at lait into drean.land deep; Mother and baby are fast asleep. A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR. By our convenient system of checking baggage we can enjoy immunity from annoyance about trunks, etc., in transit across the continent. John Palmer of Union city, Mich., is the inventor of the baggage check system. In earlv lavs he was in great de mand, for his violin enlivened many and many a w inter night One great annoyance he exper ienced was the constant trouble had in finding their coats, caps. hats, wraps, robes, etc., after the mrtv broke up. It was announc ed that there was to be a bif dance at Burlington on Thanks irivimr evening, about 1850, and Mr. Palmer was to have charge ot the music. He knew that there would be a terrible crowd there and that there would be lots of trouble with the clothing, and he went to work to devise a plan to obviate it. The more he planned the further he got from a solutior So the night before the parly he retired dreading the work of the morrow. He says that about 3 a m. Inext morning hewas aroused by a queer sensation; that in front of him, as it were, were two cards iust alike. What did that mean? His work for the day came to him, and he asked the question, "what do the two cards mean?" Well, alter studying on it a long time he seemed to solve the mystery. He got out eight cards marked them in pairs 1 1, 2 2, 3 3, 4 4 and one of the greatest blessings to the business world was born. Now for the first test He ha J lour children; betook their shoes and stockings, tied each lot up by themselves, put tags 1. 2, 3, 4, on each lot, and put them away. When the children got up they inquired for their shoes. He gave each one a check that correspond ed with the check on their shoes and told them to go into the other room and pick out their own by comparing the numbers. Each child got its own. Success. Now for a trial on a larger scale. He prepared a lot of checks in the same way for the guests at the party. About the first to arrive were four railroad men from Mar shall. Three took their checks; one would not have the thing and threw it on the floor. When they called lor their clothes they had forgotten all about the checks and demanded their things. Mr. Pal mer asked them for their checks. After hunting some time the three produced their checks and at once received their goods. They bad to identify the goods for the fourth man. Well, it surprised them to be able to get their things so prompt and sure. They talked about it among themselves, but did not seem to fully comprehend it. Shortly after that there was another party at Burlington, and amon the first to arrive were six railroad men from Marshall, in cluding the first four. They said that they wanted their things checked the same as before. They watched the plan the wtiole even ing and went away convinced that they had found a grand idea. In side ot three months it was adopted by the railroad companies of the United States. "FLICKER-TAILS. Mr. Thompson oflered the fol lowing resolution recently in the North Dakota legislature: Whereas, North Dakota is now placed in the galaxy of states des titute of aamiliar cognomen by which those born upon her fertile soil can be known; and Whereas, Those born in the otner several states ot tne union are called by some characteristic appelation peculiar to the state of his nativity; and vvnereas, liounulul nature in her kindness and prodigality, and in the eternal fitness of things, has placed among the numerous denizens of her broad prairies an animal of order rodenti, family scinridoe, known as the sper mophilus Richardsoni, called vulgo the flicker-tail gopher, as a "thing of beauty," and "a joy forever," except in certain cases; and Whereas, The spermophilus Richardsoni, or flicker-tail gopher, is a creature epidemic to this land of the Dakotas; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the house of representatives of the state of North Dakota, do by this resolu tion christen everv child born, or who may hereafter be born, with in tne boundaries ot this state. with the name '-flicker-tail," which christened name shall be applied in the same manner as the work "sucker" is applied to the children born in Illinois, "wolver ine" to those born in Michigan, badger" to those born in Wis- consin etc. Indianoplis News. BURDHTTE'S R EVOLUTIONS. I will wear easier shoes than I did last year. If I find that I have to wear spectacles, I will. I will not read one-half the ad vertisements in the Sunday papers. I will think less about money, and reach out after more of it. I will remember only the goodj things in the sermon. I will try to do without the things which I really do not need and can't get, and give the money to the missionary union. I will not envy the poor their possessions. If I have time, I will get up at the ringing of the rising bell. Under any circumstances I will alva3rs arise before breakfast. I will not believe anything I read in the newspapers until I see it contradicted the following dav. When I find I cannot do as I please, I will do as I have to. I will (try to) answer all my etters. 1 will give up lying, even though I have to sell my trout rod and dog. I will endeavor to take more nterest in bnseball. I will follow the advice of some eminent clergvman and go to the theater oftener, in order to counter act the evil influences of the prayer-meet i ng. I will not indorse for any one except members in good standing of the Astor and Vanderbilt fam- lies, and I'll even then be a little particular as to which member and for how much. I will not be foolishly timid or reticent about asking other people to indorse for me; that's altogether quite a different thing entirely. If anyone offers to discuss civil service reform, infant baptism or Browning with me, and nobody is around, and the place is lonely, and the hour late, and I think can do it, I will maul him so that he can't think of anything but court plaster and arnica for three weeks. As much as lieth in me, I will ive peaceabiy with the choir, the finance committee, the pew com mittee and the trustees. Brook- vn Eagle. Wyoming asks admission to the union, and pleads her fine forests as part of her claim to self-sup porting resources. Her forests are fine, but the fires are wiping them out so rapidly that the claim will soon be in ashes. The recent heavy rains in Cali fornia drowned thousands of go phers and destroyed the eggs of the Hessian fly,' which affords the farmers some consolation. 1 The number of militia on the rolls of the state of Nevada is 556, which is a gain of eighty eight from 1888. R. L. Taylor, the barber, now shaves for 5 cents. Children Cry for DIVORCE LEGISLATION NATIONAL OR STATE! Which shall legislate upon the subject of divorce, the states or the federal government, is a mere question of public convenience and welfare. "A diversity in the laws on these subjects be tween independent nations gives rise to comparatively little confu sion, but the relations between the states of the union are entirely different from those between such nations. A citizen of the states may be a resident to-day of one state and to-morrow of another; but his change of residence should be without change or impairment of his rights of citizenship or of his personal or property rights A recent writer upon the subject of divorce considers the securing of an amendment to the federal constitution enpowering congress to legislate upon marriage and di vorce impracticable, and it may prove to be so. It certainly is en compassed with difiiculties. The same writer serins to think that it is practicable to secure unilormity of legislation upon the subject in the several states bv agreement But if the proposed amendment to the federal constitution is im practicable, a scheme for securing uniform legislation through the co operation of the states is visionary The one plan requires the consent of all the states, and promises no permanancy, while the other re quires the consent ot only three- fourths of the states, and if accom plished would be permanent. Iiiven if concert of action by state legislatures could be secured, the uniformity could not be preserved, as one cannot bind another. Sen ator Dolph of Orpgon, in North American Review. DEATH ROLL OF 1S89. ' Death darkened many a light last year in the realms of science, literature and statesmanship. He touched the throne with his icy scepter, and Louis I. of Portugal, Charles III., prince of Monaco, Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, and Theresse, ex empress of 3razil, were among the victims. Among statesmen, journalists, and authors, the following were summoned: John Bright, Simon Cameron, Jefferson Davis, S. S. Cox, George H. Pendleton, Count Tolstoi, Senator John W. Johnson, Henry W. Grady, F. W. Dawson, Albert R. Lamar, Benjamin II. Day, David G. Croly, Alien Thorn dyke Rice, Mary L. Booth, Wilkie Collins, Robert Browning. Charles Mackay, Philip II. Welch, Law rence Oliphant and Eliza Cook. Other lines of thought and ac tion gave up Rev. I. T. Hecker, Bishop H. T. McTyere, Father Damien, Rev. William Henry Beecher, Rev. Horatio Bonar, Bishop Mackerness, Rt. Rev. Joseph Barker Lightfoot, Roman Catholic Bishop Twigg, Stanley Bartlett, Rev. James P. Boyce, Frederick A. Barnard, Theodore Dwight Woolsey, Dr. Seth Pan coast, M. Chevreul. Maria Mitchell, John Erickson, Emile Augicr. Charles B. Bishop, Henry Beard, General D. II. Hill, James C. Flood and General Thomas Francis Bourke. Even the much despised tramp has often more honor than he's given credit for, as witness the fol lowing from New Jersev: "Four teen years ago a tramp knocked at the door of Daniel Palmer, in South Orange township, Essex county, and asked for a hat. By mistake one of the daughters gave him her father's best silk hat, dis covering the mistake just as the tramp started away with it. An exclamation by her sister apprised the tramp of the prize he had re ceived. Little thought was after ward given to the matter until a few mornings ago, when a clean, new hat box was found on the front porch. It contained a new silk hat, and this explanation within a slip of paper: 'To re place your father's best silk hat. taken by me fourteen years ago."
