She's weary of tongues that
complain;
Your wooIiir will win Triumph

If you ilon't sIiir the growler's

There's room In the rank for the

For the man who no Duty will

There's a crown for that pranc

The man who don't quarrel

A FABLE OF THE FOURTH.
A Pendleton barber died the morn
ing after the celebration and went
up down to his reward.
When he arrived at the pearly hot
sates the Devil was busy preparing
3(i other sinners for Initiation and
pointing to a white-hot stool near
by, said jocularly, "Sit down and
smoke awhile. 'You're next.' "
The barber looked around for an
soestos protector to placo on top of
the stool, but they were all in use, a
Pendleton bootblack who had just
preceded him having two protectors
on top of his stool.
One by one tho applicants for ad
mission were disposed of, and the
iarber's turn came. While he wasn't
in a hurry, he thought it a mean,
trick for Satan to say lie w'as "next,"
when there were 1C ahead of him.
As ho arose to bo branded and
dressed for entrance, Satan yelled to
an attendant inside:
"Go and pile up a thousand car
casses of Mad Mullah's soldiers under
that premium furnace. If they won't
Sum, I don't know what will." He
remarked to tho barber that It always
rained on the Fourth and his fuel was
all wet.
Then Satan stopped with his hand
jesting on tho door, to explain,
"You see wo liavo a contest hero
lor the next two days. Two newspa
per men liavo offered to conduct the
.contest and decide on tho winner if
I 'would prepare the prizo, so we are
icating up a box stall for tho man
vho wins the contest. No ono will
inow how hot the stall is, for tho
man who wins it will be selected for
his special sins and the thermometers
will all be removed."
"What Is the contest to decide,"
timidly asked tho barber.
"Wo are voting to select tho man
who perpetrated the greatest wron i
on his follownion on earth, on the i
Fourth of July," replied Satan, j
Just then tho door was opened from j
-within and an Imp said softly to Sa-1
tan; j
"You'll have to come and quiet j

country. Tho newspaper men are
raising an awful howl."
"This will stop their jangling,"
said Satan, as he opened tho door
ind pushed the barber In.
Another vote was taken Immediate
ly and the barber who charged his
patrons, double price for a sliavo on
the Fourth of July, won tho prlzo.
Tho thermometers being gone, ho
couldn't say Just what tho tempera
ture was,
Tho printer who took advantage
of tho celebration to steal two
pounds of purplo ink from the other
since., lost tho prize by ono .vote.
RESURRECTION OF THE RANGE.
A number of years ago, the Mon
tana legislature onacted a law com
polling owners of all abandoned min
ing shafts to fonco these pits, as a
means of proventlng stock from fall
ing Into them. Some of the owners
obeyed tho law, and somo of them
proud AmorlcnnB that they woro,
disregarded it.
Among those obeying this humane
law woro some largo English mining
companies, who not only fenced tho
abandoned shafts, hut built a tight
fence around n lot several rods in ox-
tent.
Soon tho tramplcd-out bunchgrass,
famishing for a rest, began to grow
luxuriantly In theso protected lots,
and the result of this law is, that
many ncres of despoiled range has
been reseeded, resurrected and re
stored to something near Its. olden
value, by tho chanco stroko of this
law,
Tho worst feature about the ox
hausted ranges of the West, is thnt
no seed Is allowed to ripen to roplen
Ish the destroyed stock growing on
the hills. Year In, year out, the con
stant trampling process and gnawing
process goes on wltliout rest. No
seed is matured to bo scattore- by the
kindly winds to propagate tho grass.
Nature struggles hard to perpetuate
tho specie, but the destroying ravages
of cutting hoofs and nibbling teeth
outdo all her efforts at rebuilding.
There Is a lesson for Oregon stock
men in tills Montana experiment, Tho
rebuilding of tho rnnge is the most
Important subject now before him.
The little expense of.enclng off tracts
of bunchgrass land for seeding pur
poses should not stand in the wny of
tho final reclamation of tho entire
range districts of the state. Seed
from theso small lots on tho Montana
ranges has matured and scattered
over a largo adjacent territory, until
many parts of tho destroyed range
has been restored.
lesson of equal practical value
is before Oregon, In the closely
fenced right of way of the railroads.
Where stock is kept off tho grass for
ono or two seasons, It ripens, and
scatters seed over tho ground In such
quantities that tho range nppei-3 oven
better than in Its pristine condition.
Here Is the key to tho situation li
Is the most practical and lnevotislvj
method yet suggested for the restor
ation of Western ranges,
Let every stockman of tho range
districts fence off lots of bunchgrass
land in 10 to 20 aero tracts, just as
tho farmer would summer (allow his
wornout wheat land. This rest will
ronow the old stock of gra.w and ma
ture seed for a new crop on the land
adjacent.
This process followed closely for
10 years, will restore tho foothill
ranges to something near their olden
value and tho cost will be so trifling
thnt it would not stnnd in the way,
This Is a subject for discussion nt
tho coming convention of the wool
growers in Uaker City. It is a sub
ject for discussion wherever the
stockmen of the Inland Emplro con
gregate to talk over plans for tho
perpetuation of thler business. It
stands ahead of the introduction of
new species of grass, or any other
plan for tho rejuvenation of Western
ranges yet proposed.
Tho farmers ot the Willamette val
ley have already made a kick to Stato

A place hunter In Prussia enc
ashed Frederick the Great for the
grant of some rich I'rotostnut bishop
rlc. The king expressed his regret
that It was already given away, but
broadly hinted that there was a Cath
ollc nbbaey nt his disposal. Tho ap
plicaut managed to be converted and
to bo received Into the bosom of the
true church, after which ho hastened
to his friend, the king, and told lnm
how ho had been cullglitoued. "Ah,1
exclaimed Frederick, "how torrlhly
unfortunate. I have given away the
abbacy. Hut tho chief rabbi Is Just
dead and tho synagogue Is at my dis
posal. Suppose you were to turn
Jew?"
A somowhnt pompous individual
was once talking to a friend about
his lamlly, the genealogy of which
he traced back several generations,
but was told by his friend thnt ho
was a more mushroom. "Aye," said
ho, "how, pray?" "Why," said the
other, "when I was In Wales u pedi
gree of a particular family was shown
to me. It tilled about five largo skins
of parchment, and about the middle
of it was a note in the margin. About
this time the world was created.'
Dlshop Potter once made a trip to
England, and while there was fre
quently addressed as "My Lord." He
says when one has lived for yonrs in
America without any special title In
ordinary conversation, It Is not easy
to become accustomed to being hail
ed as "My Lord," whonovor any
service Is rendered. Hut from the re
currence of the title, which was still
offered me at frequent Intervals dur
ing the voyage home, I was cheerfully
delivered by the first American I mot
'on my way ashore. He was an old
vestryman or mine, and I met him on
the gangway as he was rushing up
to welcome his wife and daughters.
He grabbed my hand an Instant, nnd
exclaimed: "Hello, Illsh'; how are
you?"
Queen Elizabeth, once admir
ing the oleganco of a Span
ish nobleman, complimented him
on It, begging at tho same time to
know who possessed tho heart of so
accomplished a cavalier. "Madam,"
said he, "a lover risks too much on
such an occasion; but your mnjesty's
will Is law. Excuse me, howover, if
I fear to name her, but request your
majesty's acceptance or her portrait."
He sent her a looklngglass.
Cardinal Mazarin, durjng his reign
or power, wus told that two ladles or
tho court had had a bitter quarrel, in
tho course of which they accused ouch
other or crimes and sins such ns no
lady's character could bear without
dishonor and disgrace. The cardinal
listened attentively, and than quietly
asked: "Havo they called each other
ugly?" ' No, Monslgnor," wns the re
ply. "I have not heard that either
of the ladles made this reproach."
"In that case," rejoined the cardinal,
"I dare say I can reconcilo them."
At a dinner party once the subject
of eternal life and future punishment
enmo up for a long discussion, In
which Mnrk Twain, who wns present,
took no part. A lady near him turn
ed suddenly toward him, and ex
claimed: "Why do you not say any
thing? I want your' opinion," Twain
replied gravely: "Madam you must
excuse mo. I am silent of necessity,
I have friends in both places."
