There are times in my life when I long
to be a man that 1 may sail in and do
better with my fists! It is such a thwart
ing;, unsatisfactory thing to be a well
behaved: and decoroms: woman wnen you
long to be a son of thunder and take the
traill I was standing for anelter in tne
doorway of a Chicago depot. It was
raining in that easy, delightful way that
reminds one of impulsive people wnen
they talk. There was no holding back,
no reserve, no attempt to oe noncom
mittal and conservative. It rained a
pint to every square inch, and an um
brella was of lees use than a fork-is in
eating gravy.
Well, as. I stood in the shelter of the
doorway a very queer specimen of re
motely rural life stepped into view. .. He
had just got out of some train and was
at a loss, what to do in tne big city,
His clothes were blue' and new and ill
fitting. His face was tanned and his
smile was both deprecating and . timid.
He carried a little bundle, and his trouser
legs were rolled up over a pair- of laced
shoes. No sooner had he appeared upon
the scene than a bevy of' depot hangers
on bore down upon him. Some of them
were cabbies, and more of them were
loafers. '
They surrounded him as big bluebottle
flies get around a honey pot. They bent
the head and talked low; they winked
furtively and laughed at each other be
hind the poor boy's back. Me took
slip of paper from his pocket and showed
it to them, and two of them, with a great
show of friendliness, walked him away
between them. I wanted to follow them
no. but. as usual, didn't dare to! A
Woman in Chicago Herald.
The Salem Journal says: The aew
county printing law is a good one in its
effects. It is spreading before the peo
ple the smallest details of county busi
ness and expenditure. The people ia
every county !n the state are being fa
miliarized with the acts of the officials.
They are being educated as to the dis
tribution of public taxes in a most ef
fective manner. The loose and careless
methods of county expenditures will be
remedied somewhat thereby.
The Chronicle is authorized to state
that the Regulator will certainly start
running by Monday the 15th prox. or
sooner if things can be got in readiness.
The state portage officials have asked
for two weeks to complete the lower
landing. Both boats are undergoiag
alterations and repairs which will re
quire till near the 15th to complete.
Everything will be put in complete
equipment so that no ordinary stoppage
will be necessary till next winter.
The county court has followed the
suggestion of the Chbonicl and made
the county levy two miles higher for the
purpose of devoting the additional sum
to be realized to the making and im
proving of our county roads. This will
give nearly $6,000 for the purpose, and
$6,0(10 judiciously spent will do au im
mense amount of good. Hood River
will now get something that precinct
has kyig needed and long deserved.
That blot on civilization Tygh Hill road
can now be chanced and the settlers on
Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia obtain a
means of getting to market with their
produce. The thing is done. The
county court will now assuredly help
build the road. Let the settleis get a
move on themselves and show that they
deserve help.
The editor of the Chronicle met a
respected citizen of The Dalles on the
street this morning who informed him
that it was rumored over town that D.
M. French had said to the directors of
the D., P. & A. Nav. Co., that the cflm
pany owed him $15,000 and that the
Regulator would never turn a wheel
until it was paid. It is not often that
-any one with good sense is justified in
paying any attention to such reports but
as we were assured, many friends of the
new boat believed the tale we felt it to
be right to interview Mr. French on the
subject. His answer was significant:
"There is not a word of truth in it. I
have not a dollar in the boat beyond my
fifty shares of stock. It is easy how
ever to know where a story of that kind
originated."
Why He Never Licks Stamps.
One day after coming from the post-
office I put a dozen stamps in my desk
and closed the lid. Then I went away
and returned again an hour or so after
ward. Upon opening my desk l saw
upon these stamps at least a dozen big,
nasty looking roaches, or "water bugs,"
as they are sometimes called. They
seemed to be so intent upon some occu
nation that they did not run away with
the almost lightninglike rapidity with
which they usually disappeared when
ever the desk was opened.
At first 1 thought that they were stuck
to the stamps, but upon observing a lit
tle closer 1 saw that they moved about,
and 1 was finally convinced that they
were eating the gum from the backs of
the stamps. By placing a large reading
glass so as to magnify the roaches, I ob
served that they secreted a saliva on the
gum and then when it became soft ..they,
seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots
appeared on the stamps," and these spots
gradually grew larger until the stamps
had the appearance of stamps from
which 1 had imagined the gum had
evaporated. .
Since that time you may be sure I
never touch my tongue to a postage
stamp, and it almost nauseates me to see
any one else do it. Interview in New
York Tribune.
A Business Woman's Lesson.
A business woman often takes 'letters
and packages to the general postoffi.ee to
be weighed.. As often" as ' she- has done'
that she has been impressed anew with
the weak and trivial curiosity of the
male mind, for every time she handed in
something to be weighed the busy men
in charsre stopped to turn it over and
read the address.
"It certainly beats anything," she said
to herself, "to think of anything being
as curious as that."
A few days ago she repeated this ex
perience up to a certain . point. The
variation began when the examining
magnate said cheerfully:- "Be a good
idea, wouldn't it, for you to put on here
the state these here papers is goin' to?
Yes, , certainly, I'll write it for you.
Ouohs I've saved 500 bundles from being
lost in the last three weeks, lookin to see
if tHey was directed all right. I don't
bother about the men; don't care so
much about their bundles, and . then
they've got more . head for looking to
such things; but 1 always look at the
ladies' bundles. . - Ten cents." And the
crushed business woman walked away
with all the sad dignity she could mas
ter. New York Sun.
The Observant Woman. ;', v-.
"A person who makes it a point to .
study other people .can form unerring
conclusions," remarked , the observant,
woman to her companion as they sat in
the street car. ' '.': ' : ' .
"Indeed?" replied.tbe,. latter; with in
terest. .-:...:-' v
'Yea, indeed! N6w notice the girl
across the aisle. Ordinary people would
see nothing specsjd about her, but I can
tell that she is a convent bred girl."
"How can you tell that?:.
"By the way she holds her feet on the
floor,' You notice her left foot is set
squarely dawn. The right one is at an
angle to . the , left,- ana . witn , tne - neei
placed midway between the left heel wad
toe. Convent gins are- always trained
to sit with their feet that way. Now,
I'd be willing to wager my week's allow
ance that if you spoke to her she would
open her eyes and say. 'If yon pleat
with a nauur inflection, meaning. ' in
plain English, fWhat is it? "
"111 speak to Her," replied tne wom
an s companion, "and see u you are
right." . -
Then she turned to the convent bred
girl and asked: . - .
"I beg your pardon, but if you are ac
quainted with this portion of tne city,
will von. tell me how far it is yet to
Franklin street?'
The shy creature lifted her eyes to her
questioner, and in a low, sweet tone, re
plied:
"What yer soy?'
Then the observant woman said that
the next corner was where she wished
to get off. New York Sun.
One Way of Banking;.
"You ought to come up into our part
of th.e state," said a tall countryman
over the bank counter the other day to
the cashier of a Oriswold street bank.
"Where's that?" inquired the cashier,
"Up in the Upper Peninsula.
"What have you got there .that's in
teresting?'
"Got people that'll make more money
in ten minutes doing banking their way
than : vou'll make . your way in ten
years."
"How do they do it?' ,
. "Discountin."
"We make something in that line ourr
selves." .
"Yes, I s'poae so; but not like them.
By criminy," he went on emphatically,
"I had a note for $150 the other day I
wanted discounted, and I took it to one
of them shavers, and after he had fig
gered about ten minutes he said I owed
him $1.87."
"How did he make that out?' inquired
the puzzled cashier. v
"That's what I .said to him, and he
told me that according to his way of
calculating Xhe discount on a note like
that, the whole thing would amount to
$151.37, and he was willing to take the
note if I'd pay the balance in cash. You
ain't got any bankin litce that in Detroit,
have you?' and the cashier hastened to
assure him that Detroit bankers didn't
do business in that . way. Detroit Free

A Dome for the Capitol. -
Salem, Or., Jan. 25. The state build
ing board held a meeting today and acr
i cepted the plans of the architect who
built the etate-house, for a dome for the
capitol. The dome will be 100 feet from
the ridge of the roof to the top. A wind
ing stair from the upper floor will reach
the observatory cupola on the top.- Bids
for building the dome -will be adyertiaedJ
at once. The dome will be of steel, glass
and copper, and will cost about $60,000.
A Bis; Connections Bowlder.
The approximate maximum dimensions
of the. ' Sheegar" bowlder in Montville, :
Conn., are: Length, 75 feet;. width, 58
feet; height, 60 feet; contents, 70,000
cubic feet; weight, 6,000 tons. If allow
ance be made1 for an immense fragment '
which has fallen from its northeast side,
the dimensions and 'cubic contents of
"Sheegan". would 'approximate closely,
to 90,000 cubic feet. One point that goes
far-toward substantiating the' claim on
behalf of the ''Sheegan" rock is that it is
a 'true bowlder, is the number of un
doubted ' bowlders of an immense -size
and of the same granite which- exist in
comparative proximity .David A.Wells
in Popular Science Monthly. . " -
The Two Hands.
" It is remarkable that with the major
ity Of . people the neglected left hand is
not in mere strength . inferior to the
right. We have heard truly right hand
ed people actually declare that their left
hand - js the stronger, and from the
writer's own experience he knows this
to be the case. This may be from the
mechanical advantage and better bal
ance of the body, the right side being
heavier, or it may be due to the large
muscles ' of the unused arm being less
hampered by the development of other
muscles. It is difficult in these cases to
say which is the "right'" hand, for the
fact that the unused arm is the stronger
does not imply ambidexterity, nor can
we justly give the precedence to strength
over dexterity.
Moreover, we cannot call the hand
that excels in one "series of dexterous
motions the superior hand if it can be
shown that the other is chosen' fo
perform an "act. which, apparently tri
fling, may require some knack or nicety
of touch. It is the hand put forth in
emergency, when taken by surprie,
that makes a spontaneous gesture, the
hand that acts first, which is the "right"
hand. London Spectator.. ..-
