Gabriel.
The Dalles has a toboggan that is
earnestly engaged in making history for
some of the "boys." Its name is "Gab
riel'' and it's not altogether a toboggan
either, but a cross between a toboggan
and a sled. Its further pedigree is un
known, or lost in the hazy past. When
'Gabriel" gets excited it takes 8 persons
to hold him down, and he is so strongly
built that a man, who once got riiad at
him, worked on him foe an t unknown
period, trying to break him up with an
ax, but "Gabriel" came out of the fight
as good as new, while the ax was ruined
for life. The other day Geo. Brown and
Charlev Michacbach gently led "Gab
riel" to the top of the M. E. church hill,
intending - to have a little fun. They
didn't have anv. "Gahe" had it all to
himself. After gently patting him on
the back, and' soothingly murmuring,
Wo, Gabriel, gentle .Gabriel," they
straddled him and started for the bot
tom of the hill. About half way down
they met Sam Thurman, (who sells real
estate, ' and rents houses on terms to
suit, customers and hard times.) "Gab
riel" meekly winked at Sam and then,
as if, all of a sudden he had changed his
mind, he folded back his ears and made
a bee line for the nearest tree. "Gabriel"
struck it with a force of a catapult, tear
ing George's pants from above the
knee to the bottom, and landing Charley
on his head in the thick mud. Then
Gabriel" winked at Sam and cried,
Next."
Sabbath School Concert.
A concert was given at the Congrega
tional church last evening, which was
attended by a large number of friends of
the school. ' The exercises were began by
singing by the audience assisted by an
augmented choir, which during the even
ing rendered two anthems in a decidedly
pleasant manner. Rev. Mr. Curtis led in
prayer and was followed by Miss Iva
Brooks, who read an essay on the Sunday
School, in a clear and well modulated
voice. The essay was an historic one
going back to the first Sunday School
mentioned in the Bible and following
along down the line to the present time
and replete with much instruction. . It
was the composition of Mrs. Samuel L.
Brooks and showed much research.
Master Ralph Palmer gave an excellent
recitation entitled "My Boat" and was
followed by Miss Prudie Patterson and
Helen Jackson in a charming song which
the little misses gave very nicely. Miss
Georgie Bonney gave a recitation in an
agreeable manner, and after an anthem
by the choir Miss Ruth Cooper gave a
recitation which was well and acceptably
done, ; showing her to possess true
dramatic talent.-' The entertainment
was very choice and enjoyable.
' Obituary.
On February ..20, 1891, Wm. Elijah
Mays died at the residence of his brother
J. K. Mays, in Corvallis, Or., at the ago
of 40 years, two months and 6 days.

111., November 26, 1850. Emigrated to
Oregon in 1852 with his parents asd
located in Lane founty, where he has
lived continuously up to the time of his
death. ' '
He came to Corvallis about four weeks
ago to secure medical treatment, but
all the skill or efforts of his physicians
failed to give him relief.
He leaves a wife and six children to
mourn the loss of a devoted husdand
and affectionate father, four brothers
and four sisters to mourn the loss ' of a
dear brother, and many friends to regret
the loss of an honored citizen.
The deceased was a brother of Hon.
Robt. Mays of, this city.
A ' Benevolent Society.
Some of the good ladies of The Dalles
have lately organized a benevolent so
ciety in the city and already done some
work among the poor people here. Such
an organization is needed in every city
and any lady who is asked to join in the
good work should do so. Many of our
prominent ladies have entered the so
ciety 'and the movement should be made
to embrace all who are able to do should
give their help to the organization.
There is great need for such a society.

The Chicago hotel clerk is a maa of
nerve. . The other day, when an llliooia
politician was "t-H"g on his overcoat in
one of the plush .covered chairs at the
Grand Pacific discussing the senatorial
outlook with an acquaintance, the polite
thief stepped up to the guest, and tapping
him gently on the shoulder said, "You are
sitting on my overcoat, sir." Oh, I beg
your pardon, replied the guest as he
lifted himself from garment, and,
continuing his discussion, let the fellow
walk off with a $50 ulster. The guest
told his experience to Mr. Sam Parker,
who extended this consolation: "Oh.
that's nothing. You go back to the same
chair, and the thief will come back and
steal your shoes."
Monday the thief of nerve entered the
writing room of the . Palmer house. A
man was sitting at the desk busily en
gaged in writing. His new silk hat was
on the table "not two inches from his el
bow. The thief wore a black Derby,
without lining or sweatbaad. When
he departed he wore the guest's eight
dollar silk, leaving the worn out . Derby
behind. But the man of nerve, was not
satisfied with. that. He paid a Palmer
house messenger . boy. twenty-five cents
to carry this note to his victim, "Oh,
where did you get that , hat?" This was
the first intimation the guest had of his
loss.' Not long ago a guest was taking a
nap in one of the-easy chairs in the ro
tunda of the Tremont house. . The thief
stepped up to him. removed his new hat
from his head, and left an old slouch in
its place. Chicago Tribune. .

Incidents of Young Editorial Life.
The editor of this' journal is rapidly
acquiring all tne cnaracteristics oi a
veteran. Fivedays ago he left his pala
tial mansion on the bluff, to assume,
for the first time, the editorial toga. ' As
he laid his hand upon the door of the
Chronicle office, he was grasped ab
ruptly by the shoulder, and a huge fist
was flourished in mid-air while, a sten
torian voice exclaimed: "Come out
here, sir, and you can have anythiug
you want. , The editor aian t want
anything. His cup was full, lie was
going to be ah editor.
Yesterday morning as he rested his
classic proportions upon his velvet
couch, in his palatial mansion, afore
said, his little niece crept up to him,
placing her hand upon his majestic
browj and noticing that his huge brain
was pressing upward through his golden
locks, tenderly enquired, "Uncle, why
do you get so bare-headed?"
Death on the Kail.
' Matt Shoren, who works in the black

An Abomination.
Our esteemed contemporary falls into
vulgar error when it says that the
young lady who is to wed the Rev.
Thomas G. M Listed is to become that
worthy gentleman's helpmeet. We ob
ject to the word "helpmeet' The only
excuse for its use is its usage by and
among ignorant people.
When God saw that it was not good
for man to be alone he said, "I will
make him an help meet for him." These
words, recurring in holy writ, have been
confounded by the careless and the un
thinking, and the result is that abomina
tion "helpmeet," . -'. ' '
Christ bade the Pharisees and Saddu-
cees "bring forth fruits meet for repent
ance.' If we are to have helpmeet, why
should we not also have fruitsmeet?
The confusion of ideas induced by the
juxtaposition of certain words is felici-
tously illustrated by the old story of the
pastor who, rising in his pulpit, said:
'Brethren, I take for my text today a
part of the fifteenth verse of the thir
teenth chapter of the gospel according to
St. Mark, 'Topknot, go down P" Chica

The Idkte Capt. Wallace.
A Pittsburg friend of the late Capt.
George Wallace, of the Seventh cavalry,
thus describes that officer: "He was a
magnificent man in every sense of the
word.. He was 6 feet 8 inches tall, and
of athletic build. He will long be re
membered in the Seventh as a most fear
less rider, and crack shot, as well as a
charming companion. That Capt. Wal
lace died hard and fighting the last is
shown by the latest reports from the seat
of war. '
"There were found lying around him
where he fell ' five dead Indians, for
whom five empty chambers in his re
volver accounted. He was wonderfully
expert with gun or revolver. ' I remem
ber that on one little hunting trip we
took together in Missouri he disdained
to use a shotgun on small game, and
brought down more with his rifle than
the rest of us could with' our scattering
guns."
Practical' Shoe lutein-.
In unlacing a shoe with the present
style of hook the wearer must take the
laces entirely away from the hooks be
fore the shoe can be removed. By a new
invention the laces on either side are run
in raised eyelets. To take the shoe off
the wearer simply pulls the top of the
shoe open without removing the laces
from the hooka. When the shoe is put
on it is securely fastened by prilling the
upper ends of the two laces. The shoe
is laced in a second. With this patent,
it is claimed, a lace shoe can be fastened
as quickly as a man can put on a Con
gress shoe. New York Telegram.
Om Hottle That Beached Friend.
It must not be assumed that all bottle
messages found on the various coasts are
due to an evil desire for mystification.
A bottle found in Druidge bay in No
vember, 1889, contained a message from
an apprentice named Westerley. It
stated that the writer was ill used by
the chief officer cf his ship, which was
leaking badly. This bottle paper is the
only information received from that ves
sel since she sailed, and. her insurance
money has been paid. Chambers' Jour
