After the evidence was all In, the Justice, with a perplexed look, paid: "Hut I do not understand, Jackson, how It was possible for you to steal those chickens when they were roost ing right under the owner's window and there were two vicious dogs in the yard?"

The announcement of the consoli dation of the Publishers' Press asso ciation and the Scripps-McBae asso ciation Into one gigantic news gath ering concern, of which the East Oregonian Is a member, Is an evi dence of the growth ot sane and modern Journalism. For years the Associated Press has held a monopoly of the news service of the country-; H has suppressed news that didn't suit It, and manu factured news that advanced Its In terests and shielded the guilty cor porations of which It was chief. The people have shown their pref erenee for Independent and fearless newspapers by patronizing the papers normal, sane business of man. What could be expected of a young man who had more money than he knew how to spend and who made diversion his only purpose? There's a limit to having a good time. When you get so far natural pleas ures pall and if the human has no occupation the craving for new emo tlons begins to pull on the appetite, Self-restraint Is overborne. Life I warned.

The following stirring poem, writ ten by Will Henry Thompson, of Se attle, father of Chester H. Thompson, the youthful murderer of Judge Em ory, was first published In the Cen tury Magazine in July, 1S87, nnd has hetn reprinted many times since: A cloud possessed the hollow field, The salhcrlng battle's smoky shield. Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed, And through the clouds some horse men dashed As from the heights the thunder pealed. Then nt the brief command of Lee Moved out that matchless Infantry. With Pickett leading grandly down. To rush against the roaring crown Of those dread heights of destiny. Far heard above the angry guns A cry across the tumult runs The voice that rang through Shlloh's woods And Chlcnmauga's solitudes, The fierce South cheering on her sons! Ah. how the withering tempest bjew Against the front of Pettlgrew! A Khamsin wind that scorched and singed Like that Infernal flame that fringed The British squares nt Waterloo! A thousand fell where Kempler led; A thousand died where Qarnett bled; In blinding flame nnd strangling smoke The remnant through the batteries broke And crossed the works with Armls- tead. "Once more In Glory's van with me! Virginia cried to Tennessee; "V two together, come what may. Shall stand upon these works today!" (The reddest day In history.) But who shall break the guards that wait Before the awful face of Fate? The attereil standards of the South Were shriveled nt the cannon's mouth, And all her hopes were desolate. In vain the Tennesseean set His breast against the bayonet; In vain Virginia charged and raged. A tigress In her wrath, uncaged. Till all the hill was red and wet! Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed. Men say a gray, gigantic ghost Receding through the battle-cloud And heard above the Tempest loud The death-cry of a nation lost! The brave went down! Without dis grace They leaped to Ruin's red embrace. They only heard Fame's thunder wake. An saw the dazzling sun-burst break In smiles on Glory's bloody face! Thev fell, who lifted up a hand And bade the mm In heaven to stand They smote and fell, who set the bars Against the progress of the stars And stayed the march of Motherland They stood, who saw the future come On through the fight's delirium!

THE SKELETON AT THE FEAST. We summoned not the Silent Guest And no man spake his name; By Hps unseen our cup was pressed, And 'mid the merry song and Jest, The Uninvited came. Wise were they In the days of old, Who gave the Stranger place; And when the Joyous catch was troll ed, And toasts were quaffed and tales were told, They looked him In the face. God save us from the skeleton Who sltteth at the feast! God rest the manly spirit gone, Who sat beside the silent one, And dreaded him the least. James J, Roche. FRAZIER'S BOOK STORE lector.

Mrs. John Underwood, of New York, who has ben camping wtth her husband in the Black Hills, avers that she owes her life to songs, which saved her from a mountain Hon which attacked her last week. The animal leaped on the woman, knocked her down and stood with his forefeet on her breast. Mrs. Underwood scream ed, but suddenly remembered that fe rocious beasts sometimes are tamed by music, and began to sing. As long as she sang the animal stood harmless, but as soon as she ceased It growled and appeared as If about to kill her. All night long she kept up her song and Wednesday morning, when she was almost overcome by exhaustion, she wns found by her husband with the Hon standing over her. Mr. Un derwood shot the animal.

The benefits or municipal owner ship are well set forth in the follow ing dispatch from Monroe, Iowa: "In choosing motormen for what is bo- lleved to be the first municipally owned and built street railway In the west, the street railway of Monroe, Mayor Forsythe said the first test for fitness for the position will bo a total abstinence from all Intoxicating liquors. " 'I am not a prohibitionist,' said the mayor, 'but it is essential that men occupying these responsible po sitions should be sober, sane and strictly reliable.' It is expected that the railway will be In operation In a short time. "A remarkablo feature Is the fnct that tho road's construction has not directly cost the tnxpnyors a cent, all expenses being defrayed by the rev enues from the city's water works, electric light plant and other munici pally owned public utilities."
