grass country forever. Prof. J. B. Bones,
of the Hamilton female school, is out in
a two column-card in which he speaks
plainly of Breckinridge. Captain J. C.
Bryant, of Ashland, Ky., was in this

EASTEEJt OREGON. '
Weather: - The temperature was
colder than the average and the rainfall
deficient during the past week. The
sunshine was about the average. CropB
in the Columbia river valley counties
are making rapid improvement since the
gronnd has sufficient moisture and sun
shine and warmer weather is mostly de
sired. The gronnd is in fairly good con
dition for the plow-.' Farmers are busy
seeding. The acreage of wheat In Wasco
county will be increased ; in other conn
ties the tendency is to decrease the acre
age of wheat, and the cultivation of fruit
is receiving more attention.' A few per
sons are introducing the hop industry
with the desire ' to diversify crops.
Favorable weather conditions have ad
vanced all grass - crops and bloom.
Strawberry vines are also in full bloom.
Winter wheat is looking unusually well
and there is sufficient grass for stock.
Crops - in the interior and eastern
counties : All hardy plants and grasses
are thriving nnder the favorable weather
counditions. The season of frost has not
yet passed in this section, so that bloom
is backward, only showing in favored
spots. There are snowbanks in some
valleys and the mountains are covered
with snow, which cools the temperature
so that the growth is slow. Very little
seeding ba9 been done. . Cattle and
sheep have been turned on the range
and are doing well. There is plenty of
water for irrigation purposes.
A Gentleman Who Got Pretty Tlioroncnly
Disintegrated In a Railroad Wreck.
"A month or so ago," said the drum
mer to a Detroit Free Press man, "I
stopped over night at a small tavern
in Illinois and before retiring1 1 sat for
an hour in the room used for an office
talking1 to two or three men, one of
whom, a lame man, was to oceupy the
double room with me. I went up to
bed some time before he did, and when
he came I was snugly tucked away, but
not asleep.
"By the way, he said, 'you were
talking- about pensions downstairs,
weren't you?'
. " 'Yes, I rather believe in pensions,
economically administered.'
" 'So do I.' he said, taking- off his
glasses, and with them a wax nose.
which he laid on the tabic, somewhat
to my discomfiture, 'but I don't be
lieve in being indiscriminate' here he
fished out a glass eye and put it in a
tumbler of water and then took out
his teeth and put them with the eve
I couldn't say anything, and lie went on:
I know men who are to-day get
ting irom ten to tifty dollars a month
he removed his wig and hung it up
carelully 'who lo not deserve it any
more than my grandmother does, and
I hate to see' by this time he had oil
his coat and collar, and, removing his
left arm, he placed it on the bureau
'good deserving men getting a misera
ble little pittance whose records are
stories of bravery and daring' at this
point he ' sat down, kicked off his
trousers and one shoe, took off a cork
leg and laid it by the arm, and 1 was
about ready to jump out of the window.
" 'Good Lord, man!' I almost yeUed,
as I sat up in bed, 'don't you get a pension?'
" 'Of course not,' he answered, with
a look of surprise. I was in the army
lour years, but I got this in a railroad
wreck, and the company had to put up
fifty thousand dollars' damages. That
Deats a pension all to pieces.' ' Then
he put out the light, hopped over to
his own bed, and I had nightmare and
jimjams till daylight, dressed with my
eyes shut, and got out an hour before
my distinguished friend did.''

A TACTFUL EMPRESS.
The Pretty Act of the Sweet-Natnred
Empress of Japan. -
The empress of Japan, being that
sweetest of all creatures, a womanly
woman, has upon many occasions open
ly evinced her deep interest in the wee
ones of Japan, giving freely to all in
stitutions that exist to benefit them in
any way. even practicing all sorts of
touching little economies that she may
be able to swell her contributions to
certain charities that most interest
her. - ,
' The conduct of this ideal woman up
on a certain sad occasion her devoted
subjects are never weary of describing.
Prince Iwaukura, fearless Japanese
leader in the momentous days of the
crisis from which the lovely Archi
pelago is still trembling in its sub
sidence to what seems assured stabili
ty lay dying in his yashiki. The
empress announced her- intention of
paying Iwaukura a visit in. person.
The poor prince, weak, and. as I have
said, about to die, was thrown into a
dangerous state of excitement upon re
ceiving the news, but he managed to
borrow, from some hidden nervous force
sufficient strength to grasp his writing
box and brushes and to paint her an ur
gent but most respectful request not to
think of coming to him. i
He forced upon her as excuse for de
clining so great an honor the fact of
his rapidly-approaching' death, and his
consequent inability to - acknowledge
her visit with even a sixteenth part of
the homage it demanded. . He' begged
her to kindly consider how ill he must
be when it remained an impossibility
to throw off the malady even for her
entertainment. In reply, winged with
speed, came a dear little missive whose
import was as follows:
"I come not as your empress, but as
the daughter of your fond well wisher
and coadjutor, and .as your own anx
ious friend."
Shorn of all ostentation and display,
the empress arrived and remained be
side her grateful subject until his final
summons. ' "
Some 'years ago, when the imperial
palace was burned,, the 'unselfish em
press, amid all the excitement and dis
comfort she was for the nonce called
upon to endure in a hasty flight to a
comfortless old yashika, thinking first
of her subjects' natural concern for her
comfort, sat down and wrote them a
dainty little rhyme, which proclaimed '
as erroneous the report that she had
changed her residence. It coylyf as
serted that her home had always been
in the hearts of her people, and that
she sincerely ' hoped that neither by
flame nor cold could she be driven from,
the dear abode N. Y. Journal. -
