In the early part of the year a devot ed mother and her consumptive attiicted boy came here faun Roseburg, Oregon. hoping that in the dry, pure climate of this region her son, then nlxmt 22 years old, would be saved to ber for some time to come. The lady had means and secured two comfortable rooms at the Imperial Hotel, and daily, while the son could stand the effort, she drove him in the couutry herealiout. While retain ing her rooms at the hotel the couple lived in a tent on Duncan hill, and later occupied similar accommodations in lot on the wet side of the railroad track. The lady has a pleasant, sunny way about her. and nianv seeing her sympathetic condition, extended that comfort which a stranger is always glad to receive from a goid heart. During their habitation of the tent people in the neighborhood would call and chat, and while the lady would not show or express anv desire for aid, a cake or weet loaf of warm bread, or pot of ork and beans, a dish of ice cream or some other delicacy" would find its way to the tent, aud it is safe to say that the kind ness of the donors was more appreciated than the substantial worth or pleasura ble qualities of the sweetmeats. The other day C. A. Lange received t large expresse box from Mrs. N. Boyd. the La-lv iu question, ana a letter in which she desired through him to ex press her thanks to the kind ieoi!e of Red Bluff for what they did for her and her son, Johnnie, who died early in June of this year, and wished to he es eciully rcmomheied to the Woodmen of the World and the Women of Wd- craft of this place.

The coming session of the Legislature of Oregon should devise some legislation calculated to more fnllv protect timbe of the state from serious conflagration A suggestion has been made that a hill be framed with a view of instituting . .. .... tire patrol under the direction ol the sheriff of each county, the tax to main Lain the patrol to be levied by a s ecial tax on each distru-t where the jwtrol desired. The owners of timlier land would generally be very willing to jay a tax of this nature. If it were practica ble to iass a bill restricting the time for lawfully burning a "slashing" from the month of Octoler to the 1st of May much danger of destroying the green timber would lie averted. While tl farmer comes in for a considerable share of criticism in causing conflagrations, is well to keen in mind that many log gers are almost criminally careless' i their met hols, and many serious fires are attributable to their direct negli gence. The farmers in the burned sec lions of Oiegon and Washington iiav practiably in the aggregate been the heaviest losers Irv the recent conflagra tions, hence their assistance in urgiu the Legislature to pass remedial fire legislation vhould be easily secured. Kins Tended a Cow. The King of Italy is one of the most unaffvctitl of monarch, according to Youngman's Magazine, and it is said that he always carries .with him his simple and unassuming manners. A short time ago lie was enjoying a country walk near Ruecarigo, ami, feel ing very thirsty, he personally asked a peasant woman, who was milking her cow by her riadside cottage, for a glass of .milk. "I can't give yon this," said the woman, not knowing who it was that addressed her, "but if you will mind the cow I will fetch you one from the house. The King joyously agreed, and mind ed the cow until ' she came back w ith the promised milk. When she returned be asked her why no farm hands were about. "They've all gone to catch a glimpse of the King," she answered. "Well, little mother, you can see him now," replied the King, " and that, too, without leaving your work." At this she laughed, thinking this democratic, sirnple-garlied stranger was trying to jest with her. The King laughed, too, as he saw how she deceived herself. Then, pressing a coin into her hand for the milk, he sauntered off. New York Tribune. Wood for Sale. Best of block oak wood for sale, write to or enquire of Hexkv Con.n at Conn's i .-m, or P.0.
