Parrot, of the mercantile house o

of wheat. Johnson asked him who for
and Parrot said "the chickens." Job
eon understood him to say Mr. Jenki
and put it on the order book. Later
Parrot came in, paw the order for four
sacks of wheat to Mr. Jenkins, and de
livered it. He was put to considerable
trouble and exertion to carry it to the
shed, and soon word came from Mr.
Jenkins that he had not ordered any
wheat. So Parrot had to go backup,
and tug with the , heavy wheat sacks
again, re-delivering them to the store.
He was thus the victim of his own joke'.
and carried it out to perfection.

The Eed Men's Social.
Last evening was one of thorough en
joyment to the Red Men and sev
eral invited guests. The music was
of classical selections rendered with rare
expression. The speech on Redmenship
y Mr. John Michell was a most elo-
uent effort, said by his friends to excel
ny thing ever before delivered by Mr.
lichell in that line. After the program

Merely a Suggestion.
Supposing we all should send east for
everything we eat, drink and wear, how
long do you think- any of our merchants
would exist? There would certainly be
a number of "balloon ascensions" very
soon. I need not say anything further
about patronizing home merchants and
home industry. Everyone knows or
ought to know that it is the proper thing
to do. It is no longer necessary to send
east for fine cigars; they are made right
here. The Regulator brand is admitted
by all to be equal to anything that can
be shipped in from abroad. The best
judges, of cigars say so. Now as our local
market is not glutted with a surplus of
ready cash I would recommend that you
call for the. Regulator cigar and leave
your spare change in circulation here at
home; yon might need it again. When
it is sent east it never ccmes back.

Hope ftr Squirrel Extermination.
Frank B. Clopton, of Pendleton, has
received additional information from
Harold Sorby, at Chicago, who says:
"I have concluded my experiments.
They have terminated most satisfac
torily. The stronger virus begins to act
in two days and the disease spreads at
a prodigious rate. I calculate that, in a
week's time, an acre of squirrels could
be entirely exterminated. The weaker
virus, which is cheaper, is also effective,
but is not so rapM in its action, in the
first instance, thongh it works enccess
fully, once it gets started. There is no
doubt about the virus succeeding as well
in the field as'in the laboratory. The
question presents itself to me as to
whether we should supply this virus to
individuals, or whether concerted action
among the landowners in a feiven section
would not be more desirable."
Mr. Clopton hopes to make the move
ment a general one, and upon pushing
investigation a little further, will take
steps to interest others in the attempt to
exterminate the ground squirrels. From
the experiments made by Dr.' C. J.
Smith, of this city, and Mr. Sorby, of
Chicago, it looks like th- squirrels can
be successfully combat.ted.
