A country team ran away last night, starting from Mr. Farley's house, and had quite a spin before they were caught. In the wagon was Billy John son, a 4-year-old grandson of R. B. Hood. The team ran down the street, where an effort was made to stop it without suc cess, but turning it in the direction of the brewery. Up the grade it ran here, and gaining the top of the bill ran along the street until it reached Mays' stone house, when it struck a tree, throw ing the little boy out. He had up to this time clung manfully to the seat, and had not got excited in the least. Men rushed quickly to the spot, expect ing that the life had been crushed out of him, but imagine their surprise on asking him how he was, to receive the answer : "Ob, I'm all right, I guess; I haven't lost (feeling in his pocket) my ball, and here's my other things." Any other little boy of his age would have been frightened nearly to death and jumped out of the wagon with ex citement. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Lochhead is much better today. A. D.

The item was in regard to Cal Hedge- peth's menagerie, and what we neg lected to mention was a series of sad accidents which recently befell it. The menagerie formerly contained two eagles, specimens of those birds that roost on the top rung of liberty and scream for American independence ; but sad to say, one of them got hungry and devoured his fellow bird as if he had been a hand out from a ten-cent lunch counter. Then he died of ennui. A porcupine that was formerly one of the crowd shuffled off his mortal quills and passed away into history with the last day of March. Cal thinks he died of measles, and we are glad of it. We have no sym pathy for it nor for a man who would make a "playful little pet" ot a measley varmint that is always trying to drive carpet tacks with his tail. PrineviUe News. Don't Go To San Francisco. A circular letter has been received from San Francisco, as follows : Greeting, Brothers : Do not be de ceived by false reports. The city of San Francisco is crowded with idle men. There are thousands of us tramping the streets hungry, hopeless and destitute For God's sake keep away from this city. Advertisements for laborers, sail ors or mechanics are false. Place no faith in them. There are ten men here for every job now. By order Executive Committee San Francisco Unemployed. W. M. Willey, Chairman. L. C. Fry, Secretary. Should Live in The Dalles. A girl has been arrested in Chicago and fined $20 for hugging and kissing men on the streets. She pleaded in court that she had a desire ior that sort of thing that she could not control, and when she saw a man whose appearance pleased her she just threw her arms about him and kissed him as many times as she could before he could es cape. If this young lady is good look ing, we venture the assertion she could live in The Dalles indefinitely and there would never be a complaint made against her. .

Fireboy Dickey Adams is on the sick list, and besides following the doctor's directions in regard to medicines, etc., has a weather eye on those handsome baby carriages on exhibition in an up town window.

Come listen to my story boys, That is if you have time, I'll tell you about a work train Upon the U. P. line. The captain's name is Rcznor, I think you know him well, He run upon the Sandy, And in The Dalles did dwell. Now Reznor has four brakemen, And of them I will tell, But there is one I can't describe If I should go to jail. There's Main Line Jack and Bird Cage Bill, We count them as a pair, And staying on the side track, You bet they do their share. There's ball-faced George and honest Hell, They form the other crew, And when anything does go wrong Old George gets in a stew. The engineers, well I guess not; I must not let them go, So each of them must have a shot As well as Ben and Joe. Jim Nlckell, he will work all day, And yon will never have a bobble, But to get that Morgan to do right You've got to have a Bquabblc. Now comes Joe the handsome man That keeps up steam for Jim, With large blue eyes and Roman nose And small and dimpled chin. There's fire-boy Ben With round, full face, He surely is a nice young man And always keeps his place. Next comes John Roof, telegrapher, He's tall and awful spare, He goes away on Sunday To get himself a square. The boarding boss must not escape, I wish that 1 had room, I'd paint him in the colors That would terrify the moon. C. P. W. Congregational Trustees.
