A High valley farmer drove into La
Grande one day last week. He had a
top box on his wagon, but over the edge
could be seen the heads of several sheep
end some young stock. As he drove on
ho was accosted by a swell city dude, who
thought lie would crack a joke on the
hay-seed, and sang out: "Say, Noah,
your ark seems to be pretty well crowd

concerned like replied: "Don't yon
worry ; I have reserved a place foi the

Congressman Cushman'a somewhat
caustic utterances on the Columbia river
bar recalls a question once asked by
Jerry Simpson of a southern legislator,
who wanted an appropriation for the
mouth of a stream called Fishing creek.
"May I ask the honorable gentleman a
question?" said the inquisitive .Jerry.
"Certainly, sir," was the reply. "la
the water deep enough on the bar at the
month of Fishing creek to enable the
fish to get over the bar without lighter
ing?" Jerry's question added somewhat
to the fame of that gentleman as a hu
morist, and also killed the appropria
tion for Fishing creek.

Tony Glovenni, 2 years old, was seized
and carried off by an immense gray
eagle recently while the child was in the
yard of his home in a Denver 6tiburb.
The child's screams brought, the father
and two other men to the door in time
to see the bird and the child disappear
over the bluff of the Piatt river. The
men gave chase and saw the eagle alight
on a small island covered with under
brush, half a mile from the child's home.
When the men arrived at the island the
bird attempted ' to rise again with the
boy, but his clothing caught in a bush,
and the eagle, seeing the men close at
hand with clubs, dropped his prey and
flew away. The boy ib not badly hurt.
The other day a stranger came to town
and was being shown about the lower
end of the island when, reaching ISroad
street and Exchange place, where a mon
ster sky-scraper is rearing its head, he
inquired: "What building is that?"
"Why don't you know?" replied the
guide. "Part of it's yours." "Mine?"
"Yes; you own $300,000 worth of it."
In Nassau street he saw another cloud
obstructor. "What building is that?"
he asked. "Yours ; your money built it,
and you own every brick in it." In
Broadway the same inquiry was made
about a third firmament support, ami a
similar reply was elicited "it belongs to
you and two others. ' The visitor turned
out to be a patent medicine proprietor
from a neigh borine state, who was look
ing upon some of his investments for
the first time.
