Why the motorman should stop the car for ad ditional passengers he could not un derstand. The car stopped, however, I and in walked two women. One was a woman of uncertain age and not strikingly handsome, while the otlrer was a young woman in her twenties and beautiful. "Now," said the prosecutor to him self, "I'll show these people I'm not going to give up my seat just because ' I can favor a pretty girl.'" He vacated the seat, and, reaching to the woman of the greater number , of years, remarked: "This seat is for you. "How dare you reflect on my age in such a manner?" the woman ask ed. "I'll not take your seat." Turning to the pretty young lady he made the offer of the seat to her, only to he told: "I'll not take it, either." Then the young man went back as far as he could and rode on the plat form, while the passengers In the car enjoyed the affair as a huge joke Chicago Tribune. LOST THEIR FEATHERS. Some Little Angels Discuss their Status on Earth. It is the sayings of children that make men wise, childish prattle turn ed to profit that make men rich. In each sweet-tongued expression there is a lesson learned or an argu ment conclusively settled. This Is particularly true of two tiny little tots who toddled down the street hand in hand the other day. In a few words they decided a much mooted question, and those who believed that the human being descended from a monkey and wonder what became of the hairy covering that still adorns the simian tribe can now rest in peace. "Say,"' said the first, "we's Dod's 'ittle angels, isn't we?" "Yeth," lisped the other, "but we hasn't dot any feathers on uth like the 'ittle angels my mamma showed me In a picture book." "Well, we had once, don't oo know?" but Dod pulled 'em all out before Him sent us down here." ' "What for did him do that?" "So that we couldn't fly up in the trees when our mammas wants us to come in and be washed." $112,600 for a Prescription.

If they are, who was John P. Tn." is? This was the name signed to th notes in. the pockets of a man's coal foiuud about two. months ago by Mi Switzler, about one mile from whore the men who were riding the rai::c looking for horses, found rnc gf some bones of a man ,nhu'sday, f'C full particulars of whi"; we;c gini in the East Oregonian Friday. .This coat was found near the river bank, and from a.l indications, Iv. u exposed to je elements for several months. In the Inside breast pocket were two notes, one for $35, drawn in favor cf George Schofiold, and tho ither for $75, drawn in favor of George Wood. They were dated at Minneapolis in December, 1SP2, and were signed by John P. Travis. Be side the notes, a ticket over the O. R. & N railroad from Wallula to La Grande, and a local baggage check, numbered 6437 were in the pockets. There was no sign of any coat near where, the bones of the man were found and, although it was over a mile between the two points, some think that this garment might have belonged to the unfortunate man whose bones were stumbled over, and who will probably not be iden tified and no one will know how he met his fate in such a place. How the coat and the man became sep arated, if they belonged together, is a mystery, but he might have left it Here is the German embassy at residence while In America. Here he was dined by the German ambassador and his s.ilte. there when he crawled away into the sage brush to die, or it could have been carried away from the man by some wild animal or blown by the wind to where it was found by Mrs. Switzler. The coat and tho papers were advertised, and no owner had claimed them, but whether or not they belonged to the dead man is not easily determined, and probably never will be. PRIZE OF FIVE DOLLARS.

One thousand four hundred dollars per day. This is a largo sum of money to be received at tho court house for taxes, but is only an aver age of what Sheriff Blakley has re ceived, of the 15)01 taxes which bo came duo Monday morning. Sln.ce that time a continual stream of men aud women have been nouring into tho sheriff's ofiice and two clerics have been kept busy all the time and three are at work part of the time. "his utsh is caused by tho fact that all who pay .their 1901 taxes prior to the 115th day of March will be allowed a rebate of 3 per cent, and many are taking advantage of this rebate and pay'ng early. After tho 15th of March an.' up to the first Monday in April no leabte will bo allowed, but all who pav before that time wiP not bo charg ed any. penalty. Taxes not paid li litis date will become delinquent and a penalty of 10 per cent will bo added and the tax will draw interest at tho rate of 12 per cent. If as much as one-half is paid by the first Monday in April, then the remainder may run until the first Monday in October, hut if it is not paid by that date, it be comes delinquent. On all personal property taxes not paid by the first Monday in April, or If one-half Is not paid, the sheriff is compelled to levy Washington, Prince H enry's official February 28th on Friday, upon and collect the same after May 1st.

A public meeting was hold in Weston to arrange for submitting a proposition to the association to hold their annual reunion at Weston.

Baseball will he made a feature of the reunion amusements, and tho ne cessity of preparing suitable grounds, not only for this reunion, hut for per manent use, was discussed. The nor mal school grounds will lie available for a diamond, after being graded and put in condition. It was decided to conduct this work Independently of the reunion, and to solicit a separate fund for the purpose. A committee was appointed to look ofter tho grounds, consisting of G. A. R.

THIS IS A DREAM STORY. It is a Very Good one fo.r Those Who Can Believe It A former lioston newspaper man told a story not long ago of an ox perience ot a young woman of his ac quanitance, which, while It lias not been embodied In any work of fiction, at least gives evidence of Imagln ativo powers and' may bo considered later, says tho boston Horuld. The young w unan spent her summers at an old Marshflold farm house, th windows of which had an outlook on the ocean. She had a fad, of course, and it wj3 tho collection of various kinds of seaweed Acou'lng to tho story sho had a dream ono night of a storm tossed marhicr who came and stood hy her side and Implored her aid In going on a search for hurled treasure In the Indian ocean. Tho dream passed and tho morning came. Tho young woman was about to leave hor room whon she noticed a small pool of wa ter that might have been caused hy a dripping umbrella, near tjio fire place. In tho pool Moated a pleco of seaweed of a variety alio bad novor seen before. Sho could not account for It, but It was carefully preserved in a specimen hook. Not long after sho was a passongor on ono of the ocean liners. Among her follow passongors was a profes sor of ono of tho English universi ties, and an acquaintance was formed between tho two, Tho professor shared to a certain extent her Inter est In seaweed and ono day sho was turning over the leaves of her speci men bopk In his company., Gqmlng to tho specimen so strangely acquired, tho professor uttered an oxclamatlon of surprise, " ' . , 'How did you come by that," hV address is Ljynn, Mass. asked with a manifest show of In terest. Sho told him as well us she could. "It is strange," said the profess r, "That Is tho second specimen of thai variety that I have seen. The onl" other ono that I know of Is preserv ed lu the lbitlsh meusuuin and w i found at ii Holdom visited point of tho Indian Ocean." Then thu young wo man remembered hor dream A New Story. "Buoll Hampton," a now novel by a now author, that Is said to surpass any story of tho groat West yet writ ten, is to ho published at an early date by Forbes & Company (lioston). The author Is Willis Ooorgo Emerson, of tho copper fields of Southern Wy oming a minor in tho Sierra Madre Mountains; and It ls said thu story was wrltto nfrom beginning to end In a minor's cabin. Tho literary editor of one of tho leading dally papers ol New York city says of it: "'IluoH Hampton1 Is tho first manuscript of any novel I have read lu many years that held mo fascinated from tho first word to tho last. It Js filled with clovor plots and dramatic situations, and will certainly bo classed as one of the greatest noyols of tho now con tury."
