By going to her little nesi And laying eggs right in it. ilow doth the little busy boy Improve this glad occasion? tiy putting all those eggs into His little reservation. Then lot us all sing songs of praise About tlw modest hen, And lt ua eat nil that she lays, And hope she lays again. Exchange. The Lay of the Hen. Poets have composed rhyming trib utes to many of the feathered songsters f the air, which indeed are worthy of poelic praise, being gladsome to the eye and ear, yet the homely, humble hen is more useful if not more ornamental than they, and is entitled to at least an occasional word of appreciation in prose. True, city people during a por tion of the year, and the larger portion too in thin city, have a grievance against tlie hen, on account of the higb price of hr product, but she may receive some blame that should fall elsewhere, and at any rate we cau forgive her if, as it is hoped she soon will, she settles down to the steady business of laying, and fo brings fresh eggs within reach of tbo common people. This is prop erly the seasou of the hen's triumph over the egg dcnlers, and her manifest good will toward her fellow but feath erless bipeds, who hnve come to con sider the neat packages of meat she cackles over as a necessity. It is said that three fourths of all the eggs laid in the United Slates are laid between Match 1 ami July 1. As to the trul h of this we do not know, but we all know that this Easter season is ap propriately the hen's busy season also, mid she shall not be left to do all her her own ruckling. Wo love the cheerful robin's e..rly roundelay, the twittering of the fcuuey wren, Urn mellow warbling of the thr -sh, the oriole's rich note, matching with his plu:iiHge, and evtn the rowdy remarks of the impudent jay, but from a r rosy ciut ol view there is more nviiie to the hungry man waiting for liis breakfast iu tlie rejoicing yet not Wis. ful cackle of the hen alio thus announces that she has contributed materially to the sustenance and com fort of the world, and earned her own living. Indeed, this homely, rural music of the laying hens is both an nunciatory and prophetic of prosper ity, wealth and good cheer. The farm yard hen is practical rather than poetic, jolly rather than musical; but her brier diurnal announcement is of far greater importance to mankind than all the crowing done by the strutting cock from dawn till dusk and herein she aud he are illustrative of certaiu human types and traits. The hen is an important factor in the nation'b wealth. Iu 1900 the poul try sold brought f 137,000,000. and the eggs $144,000,000, a total of $281,000,000, which was 400 per cent on the invest ment. The figures are doubtless much larger now. The average yield of a properly cared for lien is 120 eggs a year, though aa hig a record as 251 eggs a year has been made, and even at this late day many people are just learning how to treat hous so they will produce more eggs aud consequently more poul try. But even as she stands, or sits, or scratches, or runs or cackles, the hum ble American lieu deserves this much of a tribute. Portland Journal. Rheumatic Pains Quickly Re lieved.

Owing to the fact that restaurants went out of business the first of the month, the editor and staff are bach;, ing that aud other reasons and the other day a rural subscriber brought us in a piece of liuiburger cheese, fay ing that if we didn't care to eat it we could use it to drive away ants. Will it drive away ants? Will it! Verily I say unto you, it will drive dogs out of a lanyard; It will drive buzzards away from a carcass; it will drive a herd of buffalo through a burning forest and a mule through a barbed wire fence; it will drive a man craay if compelled to stay within 20 feet of its polluted pres ence; indeed, it will drive away auts and uncles, too, and mothers aud fath ers, brothers, sisters and grandmoth ers, even to the seventh generation: still there are some who claim to like hmburger.

Sold by O. O. Krog; tad. Love is a disease of the heart that makes the world go round. It is found in both sexes before marriage. It is that peculiar power that makes a six-dollar-a-week clerk spend four dollars for a horse and buggy to take a girl riding on Sunday. Love is said to be blind aud I guess that's so, for those iu love cay it is out of sight. Many a fel low falls iu love to wake up to find that he has landed in debt. There are three kinds of love, puppy love, half way love aud true love. The first is for boys aud girls, the second is not very dangerous but when you get to the third yon are liable to be up against it sure and you might as well visit the in stallment furniture store.

From the summit of Mount Howl communication will be established with the Levis and Clark Exposition grounds. At each of these two points detachments from the United States Signal Corps service will be stationed, and each day and night communica tions will be exchauged by means of heliograph and flash signals and other methods used by the military. This announcement has just been issued by by the War Department. Major W. A. C4lassford, V. S A., in advising the Kxposition officials of the Department's decision, states that the signal stations are bonud to be a suc cess, as he will detail only such men as have been in active service and have been rendered experts. The signal camp at the Exposition will be pitched at a convenient place on the Government peninsula Thus the operations may be seen from all parts of the grounds. The Meant Hood c.imp will be established on the very summit of the majestic peak. It is intended to couduct several ex cursions to die camp uuder the auspices of the Mazainas. This organization of Oregon mountain-climbing enthusiasts has been in communication with the War Department for some time urging that signal camps be established, and the credit of the Government's conces sion undoubtedly is due to the Mazamas. About Rheumatism. There are few diseases that inflct more torture than rboumiitism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle? For sale by O. O. Krogstad.

Dr. Bergiu, Paua, Ills., writes: "I have used Ballard's Snow Liniment; always recommended it tn my friends, as I am confident there is no better made. It is a dandyfor burns. Those who live on farms are especially liable to many accideutul cuts, burns, bruises, which iieal rapidly when Ballard's Snow Liniment is applied. It should always be kept in the house for cases of emergency." 25c, 50c, $1 bottle. Sold by O. O. Krogstad. A MATTER CF HEALTH An Editor's Opinion of the Royal Gorge. Edyth Tozier Weatherred, in describ ing a recent trip over the Denver & Itio Graude Railroad, says iu "The Expo sition': "At last tlie goal of the ambition of years has been reached marvelous, wonderful, graud and inspiring Itoyal Gorge is on either hand. The only dis appointing thing is vou only have one pair of eyes, while the train darts in and out of the tremendous chasm. If any who have never seen it are wonder ing how it looks just go and see. Thousands have tried to describe it, yot every attempt falls short of giving tbo subject justice." If you contemplate a trip East, write W. C. McBride, 124 Third street, Port land, Ore., for booklets picturing Colo rado's famous scenery, aud any oilier in formation you may desire. ' Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, the Best and Most Popular. "Mothers buy it for croupy children, railroad men buy it for severe coughs and elderly people buy it for la grippe, ' say Moore Bros., Eldon, Iowa.
