u piece of Hteel mudu of convenient nie,
which produced u few Hp.irkn; thenu,
bxlnliiK upon tho burnt run, madu milll
clout lire to enable one to light a mutch
readily.
Thorns HinotilderiiiK HagH, (for thunparkH
thiiH obtained did not produce a blaze)
were allerwatdH dlnllngulnbcd lv a round
tin cover called a damjcr. TothUHcie.ilo

luaku "a had plcco of work" ultb

with great patience in 'VtrlLliijj a light."
If onu happened to Imi croHrt or iiurvuim

to W)e the good wife of the houxe running

It wuh ono of the "childreu'H cIioioh" to
prepare wood for tho mutchcri, and to dip
tho end in melted brliiiMtono. Theno
mulcheH wore HometlmcH to bo bought in
HhopH, but Now Kiiuliinil economy more
frequently led each family to prepare ItH
own. Ktlll it was not uucommon for poor
chlldrun to mako a trillo of money by fell
ing buiiclieH of matchcH to tlieir mom for
tuuato uulglilHirH.
In Mparwily-Mittled neighborhood great

Tho iiiinlern friction match wuh we I
coined by houiekei;KrH, although hem

considering it a dangeroiirt article, an no

came tho present patent friction matchcH,
which used to Ui called "loeo-fovoH."
Them weie no fancy match boxen In "old

Thos'e who believe so thoroughly in protection should not
go liny longer without insurance on their property, of whatso
ever kind; and nearly everyone believes that a policy in n good,
Reliable Insurance Co
Is worth every time what it costs, and procrastination should not
be indulged in when it comes to taking out a policy. In the
first place, pick out competent and
RELIABLE AGENTS,
"With whom to do your businessthose who represent none but
the best insurance companies -uml go straightway and insure.
When in search of such agents, don't fail to turn your "peepers"
in the direction of the office of
Clopton & Jackson,
Located in the EAST OltEGONIAN building, Pendleton,
whore you can have any kind of insurance, whether Fire, Ma
rine, Accident or Life insurance, done up in
APPLE-PIE ORDER!
It is well to remember that to bo securo you must insure in
ono of tho Thirty Reliable Companies represented by
Clopton & Jackson, with a combined capital of mora than
$100,000,000!
If you contemplate insurance, call on them and get posted
and it will cost you nothing. Remember their office is in tho
