MADRAS TRADING COMPANY MADRAS, OREGON The Scrap Book Thrifty Da mo. a Sandy Dauvlt had been drowned In n Budden storm while attending his lolv ster boxes on the Scottish coast. When tho gale fell some of his sorrowing comrades set out to recover the body. They found it right enough, but It was covered all over with lobsters. A bright Idea struck one of the party. Vhy not sell tho lobsters and hand over the proceeds to Dauvlt's widow? It would all help to "put htm nwa' de cently." Agreed! So tho party sold tho lobsters for SO shillings and later called with the money and the body at Dauvlt's house In tho "row." Jamie Flndlater headed the deputation and explained to tho tearful widow exactly what had been done. "We thocht It best to sell the lobsters an' hand ye the money. Here ye are 30 shlllln's. Noo, what'll we dae wl' Dauvlt? Jlst bring him In here, I sup pose, pulr fella!" Dauvlts widow jingled the 30 shil lings In her hand, had n longlsh look at the money and then slowly replied, "Dae ye no think, Jamie, that ye should gle him anlther nlcht at the lob ster beds?" Evil's Triumphs Are Hor Loss. I watch tho circle of tho eternal years And read forever In the storied page Ono lengthened roll of blood and wrong and tears, One onward step of truth from age to age. The poor are crushed; tho tyrants link their chain; The poet sings through narrow dungeon grates; Stan's hope lies quenched; but, lo, with steadfast gain Freedom doth forge her mall of adverse fates! lien slay the prophets; fagot, rack and cross Make up the groaning record of the past. But evil's triumphs are her endless loss, And sovereign beauty wins the soul at last. Lowell, Funny Every Way. "William Winter, the retired dra matic critic, is thought by some to write the worst hand of any man liv ing. There may have been giants In the past, men like Horace Greeley, who surpassed him, but no one his equal remains. Some years ago Mr. Winter was traveling In Scotland and, having had many amusing experiences, wrote an account of them to K. H. Stoddard. In Now York. Mr. Stoddard received tho letter at breakfast and, combining fa miliarity with the intuitions of the poet, managed to make it out and en Joyed several good laughs. He glanced at Mrs. Stoddard and said: "It's from William Winter. Very funny. Want to read It?" "Yon know I can never read a word of his writing," answered Mrs. Stod dard. "Ob, that doesn't matter," replied Mr. Stoddard, tossing the letter over; "it's Just aa funny to look at it." Hard to Please. Nobody outside the Journalistic pro fession has any Idea how difficult It Is for an editor to please some of his patrons. For Instance, referring to a man's reputation for carelessness in the matter of his toilet, a paper an nounced, "Mr. Smudge will wash him self before he assumes the office of town clerk." This made Smudge fu rious, and ho demanded a retraction, which appeared thus: "Mr. Smudge requests us to deny that he will wash himself before he assumes the office of town cleric." Oddly enough, this only enraged Smudge the more. He Consulted Bacon. It was Andrew Jackson's habit to carry in his Baddiebags when ho at tended court a copy of "Bacon's Abridgment" and to make frequent ap peals to it in his cases. This precious book was always carefully done up In coarse brown paper, and the unwrap ping of tho volume was a very Bolemn function as performed by Jackson, who waa then only twenty-one years old. Colonel Avery during the trial which preceded the duel between himself and Jackson procured a pieeo of bacon the size of the book, and while Jackson was addressing tho court he slipped out tho volume from Its wrapping and substituted the bit of pork. At length Jackson bad occrIon to appeal to Lord Bacon. While still talkiug lie raised the bearskin flap of hts saddle bags, drew out the brown paper pack age carefully untied tho string, un folded the paper with decorous gravity and then! without looking at what ho held in hi3 hand, exclaimed trium phantly. "We will now ho whnt Ba con says!" What wonder that the flerv young lawyer blazed with nngcr while' tho courtroom rang with laugh ter at bis expense, and that he after ward challenged Colonel Avery. Modified tho Order. When tho Infanta Eulalia and her consort, Antonio, were In New York In 1803 tho Circulo Cclon-Corvnntes gave a grand ball In honor or the distin guished visitors. On the day before the entertainment took place a noM"o was posted at the Spanish club, giv-v directions as to how the mon who were to attend the affair should dress. Those who wont to Madison Fqunre Garden early in the evening of May 20 saw a placard In the main entrance on which was written: "Dress orders revoked. Mon wearing high shoes will bo admitted if shirts can pass raustor, but woolen mitts and linen dusters will be excluded," Tho notice created much merriment before it was removed. Its authorship was credited to Tom Ochiltree. GOT HER PACKAGE. Oho tleaWy Had to Mnvo It Oscauso It Held Porlsbnble Stuff, With her piquant little face pressed close against the glass she rattled the door of the express office. "Is there n package here for Mrs. Jack Brown?" she asked the clerk who hastened to let her in. Tho man hesitated. 'Til see If there is anything hero," he said, "but wo're not. Allowed to deliver on Sunday." "1 know," she said sweetly ns she followed hi in to the back of the oillco. "I Just want to bo sure it's come. My husband wrote he had sent it." The clerk looked through the pile of packages until ho came to n largo pasteboard box. "Is this tuo oner no "'Hint's It." she said as she looked tim mifiress. Now that she actually had it In her hands sho wasn't going home without it. "Can't you let mo have It?" she begged. "I'll never tell." He was a faithful employee, but n pair of big, innocent looking gray eyes were having its effect on him. "Is it perishable?" ho asked, weakening. She saw her cue rind took it. "Yes," she said, "it is." "Then I'll have to let you keep It," he said, glad of a good excuse. As she was walking triumphantly out of the office with tho box under her arm sho stopped and laughed. "It was so kind of you to let me have It," she said. "I'll have to tell you. It's a fur coat. But It Is perishable," she added. "If a moth should got into that coat tonight it would bo ruined before to morrow morning." National Monthly. Moral Courage. no was the small son of a bishop and his mother was teaching him the mean ing of courage. "Supposing," she said, "there were twelve boys in ono bedroom and eleven got into bed at once, while the other knelt down to say his prayers, that boy would show true courage." "Oh," said the young hopeful, "I know something that would be more courageous than that! Supposing there were twelve bishops in one bedroom and ono got into bed without Baying his prayers!" Sho Sow Tom. One night when a prominent actress was taking the part of the heroine in the old time "melodrama "The Final Summons" she was called upon to en act a pathetic death scene as all good 0 t 9 9 O aft RAISED Ultn Anil WEAKLY. tragic heroines are. Just as she was about to drop on tho sofa and expire she raised her arm weakly In the direc tion of the rear of tho stage and cried, "Ah, I see Tom at last!" Tho audience roared with laughter, and the startled actress, not knowing the cause, died quickly. When she arose after the curtain she discovered a large black cat in tho middle of the stage. Sho had unconsciously pointed at it as sho spoke' her dying words. Bound to Please Him. The man whoso wife invariably buys a necktie for him exnorlenced n nlmis. ant shock on his latest birthday. It came In the form of a tie of modest tint and handsome pattern. It was very different from the tie ho had been in the habit of receiving. The man was greatly pleased, but ho thought it wise to conceal his satisfac tion. He put the tie away in tho usual drawer to await a fitting opportunity. It camo a few evenines nftor. no looked for the neat and modest adorn ment. It wasn't there. His wife saw him ns ho mussed un things. "Are you hunting for your new tie. dear?" sho said. "Yes," he abruptly answered. She laughed. "I know it didn't nleaso vou. dear." she said, "and so I exchanged it for tills."

He Preferrsd Quantity, A visitor to a Maine flshini: vlllnco bo the story goes took an old fisher man to n speak easy for a drink. "What kind of whisky have vou?" the visitor asked as they stumbled into tho dark underground room that serv ed the speak easy for a bar. "Three kinds of whisky, strnntrnr" the proprietor answered "IB cents, 10 cents and 5 cents." "Well, give us the 15 cent, nlnnso . said the visitor.
