A very funny thing happened the
other night just on the edge of town.
The chimney in Mr. Ramp's house
burned out and there was a great excite
ment, they thinking the house on fire.
A gentleman climbed up on the roof and
looked down the chimney and was asked
"Is the fire all out?" "Send me up a
' lighted candle" he said. A lighted
candle was actually used in the chimney
to see if the fire was out. Such is the
result of excitement. West Side.
PEASE & MAYS.
The Grange Meeting.
The court house was comfortably filled
last night at the concluding open meet
ing of the State Grange. The speaker of
the evening was State Lecturer Hayes.
Mr. Hayes, while not possessing the
full measure of adroitness of Banjamin
Harrison, the felicity of expression of
Ingalls, or the fine rhetoric of Chauncey
Depew, is a remarkably forcible speaker,
and can present as many facts in a com
pact form and arrive at logical con
clusions as readily as either of the afore
said distinguished gentlemen. The
plane of Mr. Hayes' usefulness is much
similar to what is sometimes unjustly
termed the "calamity howler." If toex
pose the rottenness of railroad manage
ment in their dealings with the people,
the assessment jobberies of the past in
our own state, the subsidization of a
great part of the daily press, and the un
just rulings of the courts, at times, then
Mr. Hayes may be proud of the title.
The two greatest dangers which menaced
the national safety, Mr. Hayes contend
ed, were the literature of the country and
the supreme courts.
Good Templar.
The entertainment at Fraternity hall
last night by the I. O. G. T's. was most
successful in every way, financially,
socially and educationally. The order
at present is very flourishing and the
periodical entertainments they give
strengthen them. In addition to a fine
programme, ice cream and cake were
served, and the festivities were made
more enjoyable by a guessing contest on
the name of the doll. The name, of
course, was not guessed "Nora." Mr.
Cbrisman bought it. The following is
the programme:
Duet Myrtle and Rietta Stone
Kecitation Francis Parrott
Duet Bessie Kowland and Edna Glenn

A Remarkable Find.
L. L. McCartney, while on Chenoweth
creek recently, picked up a tooth about
the size of half a banana, which is per
fectly preserved and is not a petrifac
tion. It was presented to L. S. Davis,
archaeologist, for identification. After
looking at it critically and seriously, he
paid : "That, my dear friend, is a tooth
from one of the most ancient of animals,
so old, in fact, that it was not only co
existent, but porbably antedated man
himself. It is said by some authors
that it was originally cloven-footed,
having been an inhabitant of marshy
places in the beginning. It has been
designated by zoologists as belonging to
the genus eqaus, but is commonly
known -to-ns as the "hoss." -
Beautifying the Grounds.
On Supt. Baxter's last trip through
The Dalles he noticed a number of boys
pitching quoits in the open space be
tween the passenger and freight depots,
and concluding it would look prettier as
a grass plot, ordered a carload of sand
and manure spread on the surface, and
a pretty fountain from Portland, which
has arrived and is now in place. The
ground will be seeded and trees planted
and the place will soon look quite at
tractive. First-class cabinet photos, 99 cents

Excusable Ignorance.
It is often said that one of the best
ways of learning' thing is to teach it
to others; but the rule does not al
ways hold good. Sgys a correspondent
of the Boston Transcript: One day my
brother went to buy a bushel of buck
wheat for sowing. The man of whom
he was to get it was away, but his wife
was at home, and undertook to make
the sale. She got a peck measure, and
they went to the granary. There the
woman filled the measure twice, poured
the contents into the bag, and was pro
ceeding' to tie it.
"But Mrs. F ," 6aid my brother,
"it takes four pecks to make a bushel."
"Oh, does it?" said she. "Well, you
see, I never had any experience in
measuring' grain before I was married.
I always taught school."
WISDOM FOR WOMEN.
It is a suggestion worth noting at
house-cleaning' time to clean grained
wood with cold tea.
Fresh pears sliced and sprinkled
lightly with powdered sugar are a de
licious breakfast dish served with
whipped cream. This is exclusively
for millionaires now; later in the sea
son we may all try some.
If you can't have salted almonds try
peanuts. Blanch, peel, and immerse
in a frying basket, in hot olive oil, ex
actly like their betters, and when they
are out, brown and crisp, and salted,
they will taste about as well.
! It is a well-deserved victory for them.
