THK FlITUEK OF THE DALLES.
Then
is Every Reason to Thiik . We
, will have 10,000 People.
The permanency of The Dalles and its
ultimate advancement to a city of 10,000
inhabitants is no longer a question. . The
constructions of portage railways will
not make us rich, but it will certainly
place us in a situation to help ourselves
and will give us the advantage to which,
by our location, we are entitled. Im
provements which, have been delayed
until better times should arrive may now
be made with safety. Confidence will
be restored and business prosperity will
certainly follow if we, as a business com
munity, grasp the opportunities at our
door. The several enterprises and manu
factures already established here should
be encouraged and others will thereby
be induced to come. " Let us now unite
and laying aside boyish bickerings pro
treed to the business before us like men.
A Family Keunion.
A very plesant family reunion was
had at the residence of our esteemed
fellow citizen, Mr. Geo. F. Beers, yes
terday. The family gathering was " occasioned
by the visit of their only son, Mr. David
Beers, wife and daughter, who reside at
Leverne, Minn., and have not seen their
parents for more than thirteen years,
A family reunion was a happy thought.
and the unbroken circle was again under
the parental roof. The boys slam of the
door, was again echoed through the
house, and the familiar board again
spread, and surrounded by the father,
mother, son and daughter. Fresh were
the memories of days gone, which re
moved the ties that long absence of years
had dimmed. It is a rare thing for
parents, who are nearing the line of
three score years and ten to sit at the
hearth stone, surrounded by all their
family, but such it was at their family
gathering.
The family are six in number, Mr
Geo. F. Beers, and his estimable wife,
Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Thomas of Olex,
Ogn., Mr. and Mrs. M. Doyle of this city,
and Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Joles, of Joles
Bros.j merchants in The Dalles and last
but not least Mr. David Beers, wife and
daughter of Leverne, Minn. Mr G. F.
Bees is 67 years of age and Mrs. Beers is
62 and are enjoying the blessing of ex.
ceiieni neaitn. Mr. uavia iieers who is
the youngest of the family is 38 years.
The united age of the group is 293 years.
There were ten grand children present
Misses Ella, Cora, Amber and Pearl
Joles, Mrs. Edna Doyle Kaufman and
her husband Mr. Adam Kaufman, Misses
May and Ina, and Mr. Ralph Doyle and
Master Thomas. There were a number
of intimate friends present who - shared
the pleasure and the joys of the very
happy reunion of this noble family, may
there be many such.

An Interesting Traveler.
Mrs. Alice Wellington Rollins, so well
known to lovers of good reading, is a
thoroughly charming woman. She is
small and slight, with a winsome face,
lit with dark, bright eyes, and irradiated
with a bewitching smile. Within the
last two years Mrs. Rollins has seen
much of strange countries. When the
last yellow fever epidemic fell upon
Brazil she was there and stayed through
it. After several months she went on to
Bermuda, whence she journeyed to
Alaska. She brought back from Alaska
many photographs. One, of a mountain
meadow, breast high with flowers bloom
ing within the polar circle 5,000 feet
above the sea, is as wonderful as jt is
beautiful. Indeed, what most struck
the travelers was the semi-tropical lux
uriance of all vegetation there, as well
as the warmth of the weather, which
made umbrellas necessary in August,
though all the high ranges lay white
with unmelted enow. Epoch.

Lady Rosebery's Palatial Home.
It is said that few houses in the world
are more magnificent than the palatial
home left by Hannah Rothschild, the
late Lady Rosebery. All Europe had
been rifled to make the place one of un
rivaled beauty, and from its tapestries,
once owned by Cardinal Mazarin, to
cabinets filled with priceless cameos, its
splendor and sumptuousness surpassed
belief. The young wife and mother left
a prodigious fortune, bequeathing im
mense sums of money to Lord Rosebery
and each one of her children csparately.

The first thought of almost every on
on hearing a good story is to find some
one else to whom it can be told. Some
people make a few stories stand them in
good stead for a long time, and a tale is
told of a Vermont man who had just one
story, and who told that on every possi
ble occasion.
It was an excellent story, without
doubt, the story of a gun which had
once belonged to a friend of his, and he
told it well, though perhaps it might
have been improved by a little condensa
tion. But his anxiety to bring forward
this tale never abated. One new listener
in a group of people was quite enough to
encourage him to give his "gun" story
in all its details.
It is said that he always brought the
conversation around to guns as soon as
possible; then he would say, "And speak
ing of guns reminds me of a good story,"
and then begin his narrative.
There is a legend in his native town
that on one occasion a number of peo
ple who were well acquainted with this
thrilling tale endeavored to keep guns
out of the conversation at a dinner
given by a club of which he was a mem
ber to a "distinguished visitor."
In vain the gun man tried to bring
the talk round to bis favorite weapon,
and as time went on his expression be
came gloomy in the extreme. As the
guests rose from the table at last, so the
story runs, he stamped violently on the
floor as he approached the distinguished
guest, and then said, "Just a little
cramp from sitting so long, my dear sir,
but that sounded almost like a gun; and,
speaking of guns, reminds me" and
linking his arm in that of the visitor, he
bore him triumphantly from the room
to the music of his cherished anecdote.
Youth's Companion.
The Relations of Johnnie Shrimp.
This is a boy's essay on his family re
lations: Ma is my mother. I am hen
son. Mas name is Mrs. Shrimp, and Mr.
Shrimp is her husband. Pa is my father.
My name is John George Washington
onnmp. x nererore pa's name is Shrimp,
so is ma's.
My ma has a ma. She is my grandma.
She is mother-in-law to pa. I like grand
ma better than pa does. She brings me
dimes and bolivars. She don't bring any
to pa. Maybe that's why he don't like
her.
Aunt Jerusha is my aunt. When pa
was a little boy she was his sister. I
like little sisters. Dicky Mopps has a
little sister. Her name is Rose. I take
her out riding on my sled. Aunt Jerusha
don't like her. She calls her "that Mopps
girt." I think Aunt Jerusha ought to be
ashamed of herself. r
Aunt Jerusha lives with us.
Aunt Jerusha has a state of health,
too. On washing day she has the head
ache, and does her head up in brown
paper and vinegar, and I have to make
toast at the kitchen fire. I make some
for myself, too.
Aunt Jerusha says nobody knows what
she has done for that boy. That boy's
me again. I told pa what she said. Pa
said it was just so nobody did know.
Ma says Aunt Jerushaneans well, and
that she is pa's dear sister. ' I don't see
why that's any reason she should scold
me when I eat cabbage with a knife.
Golden Days.
' Describing; a Thief.
A. while ago a lady in passing down a
crowded thoroughfare was relieved of
her pocketbook. It was two hours be
fore she missed it. After two hours
more of search, and returning to places
where she might have carelessly left it,
it occurred to her suddenly that she had
been jostled by five or six men at a street
corner. The circumstance made no par
ticular impression upon ner mind at the
time, only that she glanced around with
me inougnc mat tne street - was un
usually crowded, and that the men were
taking up more room than was neces
sary. She reported her loss to the police,
and in relating the incident she de
scribed three of the men so accurately,
their features, their clothing, and even
the design on one of their neck handker
chiefs, that they were recognized imme
diately as being the most notorious pick
pockets in the city. .
- The pocketbook was found rifled of the
money, but with the valuable papers in
tact, in the engine room of a prominent
building. The engine room had a sky
light that opened into the alley near the
corner where the men had crowded her.
They kindly lifted the screen and drop
ped it upon the marble floor near the en
gineer. She was not indebted to the art
of observing closely for the loss or the
return of the pocketbook, but a slight
hint was given of its value in the unveil
ing of the brain picture, of which she
was unconscious of receiving. Chicago

Mr. Disrsell ui Sir Bobers Peel.
Mr. Fronde's story about Sir Robert
Peel having once asked ''a distinguished
friend" ' to carry a challenge to Mr. Dis
raeli is a most nonsensical romance, and
it is wonderful that he could print such
rubbish. The truth is that Mr. Fronde's
fiction is based upoa the fact that there
was once a stormy scene in the house of
commons between Mr. Disraeli and Sir
Robert's brother, Gen. PeeL which
would certainly have resulted in a hos
tile meeting but for the intervention of
friends. Mr. ' Fronde has simply con
fused Sir Robert with his brother, but
his story is all wrong, for the general
commenced hostilities by informing Mr.
Disraeli that he had told a falsehood.
The whole affair was over in less than
half an hour, as the aggressor frankly
apologized. Lord George Bentinck was
Mr. Disraeli's "friend" and Admiral
Rous acted for Gen. PeeL London

The Origin of Piccadilly.
- An article of wearing apparel will
sometimes lead into out of the way
places. For instance, the collar was once
called piccadel, or pickadill, and one
Higgins, a tailor in London, made so
much money out of it that he was ena
bled to build a great number of houses
in a certain street, which from that time
came to be known as Piccadilly.
