In I OF A AND "It there Is any person on earth whom I dread to have my husband bring home in the evening It Is a bashful man who is afraid he Is Ing to make some extra trouble.' So said Mrs. Sarah Maria Everly (the name will do since It 1b not heY own) at the regular weekly meeting of the guild In Salem, as she finished sew Ipr a lace frill on the bottom of coi ton garment destined at some re motely future time to grace the per son of some benighted brunette of the upper Congo. "1 shall never forget,' she contin ued, as she bit off a yard of thread and poked its twisted end through needle, "our first visit from the Rev. Amlnadab Salsify from Wayback. Barry and I had been married teven years, the Rev. Amlnadab performing tnc ceremony In my native village, for I was born In that community. Harry ft vmp'oyed here and at the time the Rev. Amlnadab, made us a visit we were living in a fine cottage not very lnr out. Harry was glal to see an oM friend, and so for th matter was 1, for our married life had not bad more than its proportion of bick erlngs. and certainly Its full measure of happiness. Yet at the same time nis tear that he was in the way, or that he was making some work, made his visit a genuine nuisance. "The fall rains had set in and the weather was decidedly chilly. About 7 o'clock Harry was called down town to remain most of the night, and at t:S0 the Rev. Salsify retired. There was a lavatory opening off from his bed room, but this seemed to be beyond his ken, or he was afraid to touch the faucet About 10:30 I went to bed, propped myself up on the pillow with a good novel, Intending to read until Harry came home. I was absorbed In the story, but about the mystic hour of midnight I heard the side door close and the spring lock snap viciously. I could not at first Imagine what had happened, but instead of It suggest lng burglars, the Idea struck me that the Rev. Amlnadab Salsify was some how mixed up In the affair. There was a hydrant In the yard, used during the summer for watering the lawn and slipping out of bed I went to the window and peeping out I saw our Rev. friend quenching his thirst thereat Of course It never oc curred to him that there was water In the house, and there he had gone priouetting out in the drizzling rain, his long night dress giving him a ghostly appearance In the dim light shed from a street lamp. After he had absorbed a quart or mora of the Willamette mixture be came back to the door. Of course it was locked. I PRESTON W. SEARCH COMING.

Mr. Cortelyou's new work In hunt ing out swindling concerns which ad vertise In papers and periodicals seems about to be conducted along prettty broad lines. Deputies are to call up on or write to advertisers whose an nouncements seem suspicious, and If the answer indicates fraud the malls r. to be closed to the concern, 'ine naDers should welcome this action on the part of the postmaster general and give him all possible countenance ana assistance. The list of advertisers whose busi nesses come within the dat.ger ot Mr, Cortelyou's energies Is wide and grows wider after study, so that it will be tot the everlasting advantage oi ad vertising If the work Is made drastic. Fame. Tlie Penalty In China. A San Francisco Chinaman, the Bententtousness of his kind, some experience of American once 'remarked: "Chinese law class: man kllllee man China, with after law, off; rio ketchee him, somebody head off, mebbe cousin head off. English law second-class; him ketchee man, mebbe allee same head off. Melican law ito good, too muchee slupleme ceurt.' The Argonaut. EXPERIENC BASHFUL MINISTER NEWLY-WEDDED WIFE took in the situation and slipped down quietly, thinking to let him In, and trusting in the darkness and his hushfulncs to prevent him ritaenvpr. n lug I was not dressed for company. I reached the door, and onenerl it trustfully, but my friend who disliked troubling any one had discovered the door was locked, and had gone around to sample the front door, or discover some other means of Ingress without disturbing me. I called him. but there was no answer. I was thoroughly out of humor by this time, but knowing tne Kev. Amlnadab was out In the wet, and barefooted at that, I real ized that I must take him In, or be responsible for his death. I called him again, no answer; then I slipped out on the porch and called again. Unlucky movement; I had not left that door three feet before some lurk ing spirit of the darkness or Imp of the perverse, moved it. and moved It to a close. There was a gentle Jar, a snap, a vicious, satanlc snap, of that con- rounded spring lock, and the Rev. Ammadab Salsify of Wayback and the mistress of the house were both out of doors, dressed In their night rooes, without a key, and no one in. side to come to their aid. I simply raged Internally as the sit. uauon aawned upon me In all its overwhelming force I am not certain that I did not swear, but if I did I am sure the recording angel charged it up to the Rev. Amlnadab. or blotted it out with a tear, spared from his laughter. I couldn't get In, and I couldn't very well go out on the street to reach my next neighbors, or climb the hedge fence for a short cut to them. I a moment my nleht bloom ing friend came poking around the corner, ghostly tall and silent, and seeing me, In the most surprised tone imaginable asked, "why, my dear Mrs. Everly, what are you doing out here?" I was unarmed, and there was neither club nor stone handy. hence the Rev. Amlnadab still lives. Fortunately Harry came home ear lier than he expected, and If ever the sound of a man's footsteps was music to that man's wife's ears, his were to mine that night in a few minutes we were both In side, and I was In my bed doubled un like a pocket comb, and shivering with cold and rage; and yet that hus band of mine laughed, lauehed and giggled until he got Into bed and I put my frozen feet' In the middle of his back and then he quit. The Rev. Amlnadab returned to the peace and quiet of Wayback the next day, having had a sufficiency of city life, late hours, and I hope Willamette water." J. H. Cradlebaiigh In Salem Journal. Uncle Jake's Choice. This story is told about President Roosevelt and an aged darkey called Uncle Jake: The old colored man was very religious, and was considered a pillar of the church he attended. The president while out driving one cold morning, met Uncle Jake, crippled with rheumatism, hobbling along. "Uncle Jake," said the president, after greetings had been exchanged, "which would you rather have thlg cold morning, a ton of coal or a bottle of whiskey?" "Well." said the darkey, hesitatingly, "it's this way, Mistah President, you see, ma folks burn wood." The Argonaut.

' one of the greatest developments maae 111 eastern Oregon in the post five or six years Is the growing of small bands of sheep by rarmers and small stock men through Union and Baker counties. Where a few years ago, .cattle, horses and hay were the principal industries, now small bands of sheep ranging from 800 to 1500 are owned by these same farmes. All through Powder River valley and on the various creek settlements In Union and Baker counties, are now found small bands of well bred sheep, some of them being owned by farm ers and other bands being leased. Alfalfa hay Is plentiful and since wool and mutton have been command ing such high prices, the Industry has spread out Into these remote locali ties at a remarkable rate. In Powder River valley Is this ex ceptionally noticeable. That district has recently been reclaimed from the arid state and Is now almost one solid alfalfa field from end to end and within the past five years, nearly all the alfalfa farmers have acquired sheep. Some of them lease small herds and consolidate with each other r .. IB- .

One of the most exrpntinnal nf the remediesof known quality andexcellence is the ever a pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California rig byrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Calif ornian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh andcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many illsresultingtherefrom. Its activeprinci ples and quality are known to rhvsicians cenerallv. ami th i'fi remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with tne favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual pxneripnrp that it is a most excellent laxative it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellent-?, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. . There are two classes of Purchasers: those uhn nr inform,.,! is to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence af articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of anywell known irticle; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, nd who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect s beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.

Arrangements Already Under Way for Irrigation Congress. Monte B. Owlnn who was elected chairman of the executive committee of the Irrigation congress, will leave shortly for Salt Lake on business con nected with that position, says the Boise Statesman. He has not defi nitely accepted that position, and be fore doing so wishes to ascertain as nearly as possible whether he will receive the support from the Irriga tion states that will be necessary to make a success of the meeting of the congress in Boise. The Oregon people interested In Ir rigation have pledged him their un divided support and uregu him to ac cept the place. He is now going to Utah and perhaps to some other states interested In the subject to sound the leaders on the same subject Mr. Owlnn proposes, if he takes hold to make the meeting In Boise the moat practical and In every way the most useful gathering ot the Con grats ever held and he wishes to have the full co-operation of all Interested.
