say the entertainment will be a success.
Rosa Bonheur leads the life of a re
cluse in her chateau in the depths of the
Forest of Fontainebleau, near Paris,
She secludes herself from all, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
editors of The Ladies' Home Journal
succeeded in getting a proposition be
fore her that she should write her
autobiography for that magazine. After
nearly a year's effort they were sue
cessful, and once started on her work
the great painter found so much interest
in it that she made over a dozen spe
cial studies and pictures of animals to
accompany the text. The autibiograph
ical article, with the valuable unpub
lished drawings, will appear in the
Christmas Journal, together with por
traits of Rosa Bonheur as she works in
her studio and home.
A Neat Device.

those who have the care of youngsters
to be appreciated. " Mr. Harlan expects
to visit Dnfur and other inland points In
the near future, to introduce the desks,
and will no doubt meet with a hearty
welcome and abundant success.
After Many Tears.
Tuesday evening a gray-haired gentle
man approached mine host of the Uma
tilla and asked if he wis Col. Sinnott.
Being answered in the affirmative he
proceeded as follows : "Do you remem
ber of a robberv committed . here in
1863?"
"Yes," said the Col.
"Do you remember who was robbed
then?"
"Yes." .
"The man's name was Louis Daven
port, was it not?" ' - -
"Yes.",
"The amount taken was about $8000,
wasn't it?"
"Yes."
"Where is Davenport now?"
"He lives near Mosier," was the re
ply. ;'
"Well," proceeded the stranger, "I
have been looking the matter up for the
past two years, and I can say that one
of his herders got awav with that
money." .
"Yes," said the colonel, "What have
you been doing the other thirtv-one
years?" ,
There was no answer, and the man
walkedaway. - . .
The colonel gave us the substance of
the facts of the robbery as follows: "In
1863, when ,the train palled in from
Celilo, Louis Davenport, who was at
that time a packer, got off the cars car
rying in his hand his saddle pockets, in
which was stored $8,000 "in gold dust.
Meeting some friends, Davenport de
posited the saddle pockets on the side
walk while he shook - bands with them.
Reaching after his valuables a moment
later, they ' had disappeared and from
that time to this have never been heard
of." Just what caused the stranger to
take such an interest in this robbery a
generation after it occurred js what fB
mystuying tne colonel. It seems at
least to have made a very vivid impres
sion on his tnemory.
AnTJnique Bet and Its Barren Basalts
- Wanted.
Thin hogs or feeders. For further
particulars inquire of John Parrot.
Election bets are easily made, and as
the person backing his opinion generally
feels certain that he cannot lose, he is
sometimes easily induced to put to the
hazard and die of a wager some things
.that in his calmer moments he would
not gamble on. That some of these
foolish bets are paid speaks well of the
Honesty of the better, but at the same
time often exposes the .seeming lack of
gray matter in his upper story. It is
impossible, however, to estimate a man's
mental capacity by the kind of election
bet he makes, because, as we have said.
he never expects to be called npon to
nay it. -It is only by accident that
many of these stray and unique bets be
come public property.
' Such a bet was made, so we are told,
recently by our excellent fellow-towns
man, Mr. Harry B. Morse.- As the story
comes to us, and of course we do not
ouch for -its details, Mr. Morse, al
though; a Republican, it seems had some
doubts as to McKinley's election. These
doubts being expressed tub rota to a
Republican friend, were the cause of the
bet which yesterday evening Mr. Morse
paid. It appears that who ever should
lose the bet was to confess his lack of
judgment by having his hair shaved of
a la Bill Nye, and thus show by pro
ducing an artificial forehead, running
nearly back to his shirt collar, what he
apparently needed. This operation was
submitted to last evening by Mr. Morse,
and the uncommunicative tonsorial
artist only admitted to our reporter the
facts in the case, as soon as begot a
chance. The excuse was made that the
hair was falling out, but the sly wink of
an . ontsider put the barber on, and
hence the record of this mournful inci
dent. There is nothing but a bat now
between Mr. Morse and heaven, but be
keeps the obstruction in place steadily.
Hatless he looks like some venerable
monk (this word not abbreviated) intent
only on the salvation of his fellow-man,
or like Socrates just before he took his
last drink, when . with uplifted eyes be
made that immortal statement, "She do
move." .However, the hair will grow
and the memory of election bets pass
away, and we chronicle this one only
that our friend may be saved the-annoy-ance
of questions by sympathetic friends,
and prevent his being mistaken for the
Wyoming humorist, William Nye.
