between two mere youths, Charley Bell;
aged 16, Sou of Capt. 'Miles Bell; and
Pearl Henderson, aged 17; in which
Henderson was killed, should ' be a
warning to parents whose sons may be

unhesitatingly gives it as his judgment
that The Dalles is in the best condition
from a retail business point of view of
any. town he has visited, Portland not
excepted. "All the " towns . east of the
mountains are in a better condition than
those west of the mountains,, and. the
nearer one gets to the Sound the worse
they get. As a business location,, as a
possible manufacturing center, in the
matter of resources, and in that of cli
mate there is nothing to' equal The
Dalles in the northwest. And so say we
all of us. ' ,

-To avoid misunderstanding between
the patrons and teachers of our school,
we desire to place before the patrons an
old but important rule of the school; .
It is this : ' Teachers are to require ex
cuses from parents or guardians of pupils
either in person or by written note, in
all cases of absence or tardiness, or dis
missal before the close of school, and no
excuse shall be deemed valid except that
of sickness, ; or very necessary employ
ment. .' ; ' ' '
The teacher shall be the judge of the
sufficiency of the excuse, subject to an
appeal to the directors.
When the unexcused half day's ab
sence, and tardy marks of any pupil
shall aggregate four in any four consecu
tive weeks, the teacher may suspend him
until he may gain the permission of the
directors and principal for readmission,
or. the ' teacher may employ any other
appropriate punishment. ... 3-J4dwlt
The-Oldest Hans in Oregon. .
The Astorian says '.'The oldest .house
in Oregon," is the title of an item in an
an exchange which - locates that most
ancient domicile in Oregon city. But
there is a house in Oregon older than
that. ,: It is a house not built with hands,
bnt is not eternal in the heavens. ' It is
very solid and stands about twenty miles
from this city. It was built by the great
designer and architect of the universe, or
by one conversant with His system and
plan; It was once a giant spruce tree, but
two or three centuries ago the top broke off
It was then hollowed gradually out by
fire, and in the course of years there was
a hollow place inside of the trunk about
twenty feet in diameter. A wanderer
who squatted and finally took up the
tree claim on which the tree stood hewed
it out and made it habitable, put in a
floor, door, and windows, and there it
stands, the oldest house in Oregon. It
was a little growth when Columbus dis
covered America. "It was a lusty young
tree when Cortez found the Pacific ocean
and stood silent upon a peak in Darien ;
its branches tossed aloft when the Puri
taiislbuilt'tbeir campoody by Plymouth
Rock ; it was a giant of the forest when
the Declaration of Independence was
signed ; it was huge in. its growth and
great in its dimentions when the Colum
bia river was discovered: -Through six
centuries it has stood and may stand six
more. It is worth a visit, and till some
one else jumps up an older structure of
human habitation the Astorian holds
this to be "the oldest house in Oregon."
' Two Brothers la m Battle.
War means hot only public but private
calamity. -Through its means nations
are convulsed and family relations sev
ered. During the Peninsular war one of
the ' generals, observing" the numerous
cavalry against which, his brigade had
to contend, advised the officers in com
mand not to weaken their ranks by con
ducting prisoners to the rear, but after
disarming them to let them, proceed of
their own accord. It. was not .uncom
mon, therefore, to see groups of French
dragoons riding quietly to. the rear, look
ing for some one to take them in charge.
. : it happened, at" one time, that a cer
tain hussar, having taken a prisoner
ordered him also to fall back, but the
man, having ridden some little distance,
as directed, suddenly applied spurs to
his horse and made a detour, to his
regiment . The hussar , observing this,
as quickly pursued, overtook him and
shot him dead.
Having secured his reint he conveyed
him some little distance to the rear and
proceeded to take off the dead man's
valise. There, - on overhauling its con
tents, he found a letter from his own
father, which proved that it was his
brother who had fallen by hia hands.
' Stupefied with horror, he sat motion
less and speechless for some minutes
then big tears rolled down bis cheeks,
and be exclaimed. "The king has com
manded, and ttod will forgive uier
He put spurs to his horse and rushed
headlong into battle. That very day be
was killed near the spot where ne had
innocently shot his ' brother. - Youth s

The Boaemarjr at a Wedding.'
In the island of Crete, it is said, a
bride dressed for the wedding a till calls,
last of all, for a sprig of rosemary to
bring her lock. And now we come, to
find rosemary in close association with
both marriage and death, just as the hy
acinth was, and perhaps ' still is, among
the Greeks. It is interesting to trace
the connection by which the same plant
came to have two - such different usee. -.
