'Not one, lc-. frank, not one.' And then, In Tire ' ets, thus I set tho words White line. This was a technical lu strix tlon to the printer and meant that one line of spiice should be left clear. The itcnlus who had the copy In hand ptit tiio lover's speech in type correctly fln ' dicn, Betting It out as if it were a' HuJ of verse, he gave nie: "Km one, dear Frank, not one white line!"

A petty falsehood, started by a gos sip loving tongue, Grew Into dire proportions, and upon its blackness hung A woman's reputation (pure, unsul lied as the day) And her whole life was darkened by tho fatal words "They say." A man of worth, with honest work earned both success and gold, Then envy pointed at him with a nod and pointed hold: IIo fills a sulcido's lono grave, yet (doubt It yo who may), His death was but tho poisoned fruit of these two words "They say." Oh, you who list to slander's tongue, I charge you in God's name, Have care! lest at tho harvest time you reap a doublo shame: And daro not for your own soul's sake invito the dreadful day When Justice must hand forth to you tho fruit of the words "They say Fanny Herron Windgate.

Road tho Want Ade. Spring Is here. Evidence of Its coming Is proven by tho arrival of tho Spring Poot and by tho unusual activity In the Poots' Corner at tho Milllcoma club.

Wg think the above figures en tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 8 2, certainly the total will be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength of tho theory that the ante diluvians were a race of giants, reas on something like this: Eve 8 1 and Adam 8 2; total 163. Wrong again, what could be clearer than if Evo 8 1 and Adam 8 12, tho total was 893. If Evo 8 1 1st, and Adam 8 12, would not the total be 162 3? This Is better: Evo 8 14 Adam, and Adam 8 12 4 Eve; together they got away with 8938. Again: If Evo 8 14 Adam, Adam 8 12, 4 2 obllgo Eve; total 82,056. Wo think this, however, not a suf ficient quantity, for, though wo ad mit that Eve 8 14 Adam, Adam, if ho 8, 0 2 8 1 2, 4 to keep Evo com pany; total, SO, 282, 056. All wrong. Eve when she 8 1, 8 1 2 many, and probably felt sorry for It, but her companion In order to re lieve her sorrow, S 1 2. Therefore, Adam, if he S 1, 8 1 4 2 40fy Eve's depressed spirits. Hence, both ate 81,896,864 apples. Adding to this a slight variation on the Gaelic World's suggestion that when Eve, to satisfy tho curiosity of her 6 8 1, 8 1 2 many, and felt sorry, so Adam 8 12. Then Adam if ho 8 1, S 1 4 2 40fy Evo's depressed spirits. Consequently both ato S2.- 496, 864. tug ueutcner Tagouiatt proposes, however, that when Evo to satisfy the curiosity of her (Gaelic pronun ciation) 6, 8, 1, S 1 2 many and felt sorry; Adam, when asked to eat though ho first said (in German) 9, 8 12. Consequently If Adam after saying 9 8 1, 8 1 4 2 40fy Evo's de pressed spirits. Honco both ate 9S2.505.S64 apples. J . W. BENNETT, Ofllco over Flanagan & Bonnatt Bank. Marshfleld, .... Oregoi f.
