BOND BROTHERS Where Style and Economy Meet ' I The 8unkn Rock and the Legend of j the Banished 8nakes. I There Is an old legend to the effect tliat St. Patrick banished all reptiles fvora Ireland by beating a drum, but no one probably seriously believes the story. According to the myth, he took bis drum out (or the purpose mention ed and commenced pounding It so vig orously that he knocked a bole In the drumhead, thus seriously endangering the success of the miracle. While pon dering what to do Bt. Patrick was as tonished by the appearance of an an gel, who Immediately set to work to mend the broken musical Instrument After the hole bad been mended the angel vanished, and St. Patrick con tinued the work of serpent banishing, being successful In ridding the island of every representative of the snake tribe except one old stayer who bad lived so long that bis tusks protruded from his mouth like horns. This mon ster refused to leave the "land of his fathers," and the good saint resolved to practice a little piece of strategy. He removed the patch which the anger had put on the drumhead and then per suaded the serpent to creep into the drum for the night When the reptile bad done as requested, St Patrick glued down the magic patch and then threw drum, serpent and all Into the sea. A sunken bowlder off the west coast of Ireland is called 8t Patrick's drum. BOURNE IN SADDLE NEW SENATOR WILL CON- TOOL OREGON PATRONAGE Latest Coup of the President Is to Make Open War on All Interests Opposed to tlie Roosevelt Policy This Moans That Fulton Will Be Rut "Small Potatoes" In Oregon's Behalf Hereafter, If the President Carries Out Ilia Threat. Open war on all interests which oppose President Roosevelt and his policies, is the latest and most startl ing coup to be made by the presi dent, according to Washington dis patches. John E. Lathrop, who Is Washington correspondent for a syn dicate of western papers, in a tele graphic correspondence to the Ore gon Sunday Journal says: Official-announcement from the White House that the president will urf the federal appointive power to control New York Mate against thj enemies of his policies has. stirred Washington from center to circum ference. Politicians see in the announce ment a declaration of open war on every senator and representative in congress and on every state which does not fall In line with the presi dent and accept his plans fully. Many republican senators and members of the lower house, who, by opposing Roosevelt on phases of his railroad pollcv, as well as on his for estry proposals, and their friends, profess to see coercion In the atti tude of the chief executive, as now indicated. Ronmc In the Saddle. The new policy virtually amounts to giving Senator Bourne first place on all Oregon appointments, ns the White House regards Senator Fulton as disposed to oppose him on para mount Issues. Close watchers observe Bourne, who remains here still, cultivating the president assiduously and leav ing no means unemployed to get into his raid graces. RAILROADS AGREE TO RtXES. Washington Commission Makes Some Good Regulations. An Olympla dispatch says of new rules for the regulation of railroads which have just been agreed to In Washington. One of the' most Important results of the conference wal an absolute agreement between the railroads and the commission that the roads will keep up a dally record of cars, show ing in detail just what cars are fur nfrbed, and monthly a correct and detailed summary of this list will be filed with the commission. This list will show if there Is any discrimination between shippers prac ticed by any of the roads. The lists are to be kept up dally, with copies for the Great Northern at Everett and Spokane, for the O. R. & N. at Spokane and for the Northern Pa cific at Seattle, Tacoma, Ellensburg, Spokane and Pasco. The lists will show In detail cars furnished respectively for lumber, for shingles, for grain and miscellaneous shipments. The regulations agreed to by the railroad representatives are: The interchangeable 2 1-2 cent a mile mileage books; prompt redemption of unused tickets; that all delayed trains be bulletined at all stations at Intervals and all regulars to be also listed on a public bulletin; that sta tions be supplied with water, heat, light, seats and toilet facilities and be kept clean before time of arrival of trains. " The railroads all opposed a rule provid'ng that all first class tickets should he good for SO days. They claimed this threw the bars down and would allow conductors to permit tickets to be used over and over tgoin on short runs and would also allow people to travel on tickets which conductors had failed to take up. "Pneumonia's Deadly Work had so seriously affected my right lung," writes Mrs. Fannie Connor ol Rurai Route 1, Georgetown, Tenn., "that I coughed continuously night end day and the neighbors' predic tion consumption eeemed Inevit able, until my husband brought home a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery, which In my case proved to le the only real cough cure and re storer of weak sore lungs."

It Need Not by Any Msans Point te a 8hort Life. The heart Is perhaps the organ of the body least known by members of the medical profession, and many a man who has been told he would die in a given time has outlived the doctor wh pronounced his doom. Heart disease is coming to inspire leas and less terror in' the average man, and nine men In ten who are al lotted ten years to live double that time to die of an entirely foreign com plaint "Some years back,", says Dr. Warren Schoonover, Jr., in the Medical Rec ord, "heart diseases were a cause of great worry and fright to the laity a well as to the profession, but now they are handled so successfully by the phy sician that the patients live on under proper therapeutics until the end of the term of their natural life without macb difficulty from the diseased organ. In the practice of one physician was case which was under tbe care of bis grandfather from 1830 to 1856, Ids uncle from 1856 to 1882 and himself from 1882 to 1893, when tbe patient died at the age of ninety-three, having been under the care of the first physi cian for twenty-six Tears, the second for twenty-six year and the third for eleven years, a total period of sixty three years." LEGAL NOON. A Time That Seems te Vary In the Different 8tates. The courts of several states have dealt with an odd question, none of them agreeing upon a similar answer. When Is It legally noon? Fire Insur ance policies expire at noon, and tbe word is admitted to mean exactly 12 o'clock midday. But standard time has not been adopted In all communi ties. Many small towns cling to sun L41me, which may be from a few min utes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one Btate a fire occurred at two minutes past noon, sun time, and the insurance company beld that tbe policy bad expired before the fire. Sun time is used in that town, but the Insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not rule the policy and that he was entitled to his Insur ance. The state courts sustained him. In another state a similar contention was taken to the courts and Just the opposite decision given. Several con flicting precedents have been estab lished In state courts, and It Is said the question csn only be decided for good and all when a case has been carried into the United Btates courts and passed upon by the supreme court New York Press. Influenza. Influansa derives Its nam from an Italian word meaning influence. It was thus entitled by the Italians In the seventeenth century because they attributed the disease to the Influence of tbe stars. A very common belief is that lnfluensa is a comparatively mod ern disease, disassociated from a gen eral dsss by latter day medical men, but this is far from being the case, for the illness has been mentioned by ancient writers as far back as the fourteenth century, there being rec ords of its appearance In Franc In 1811 and 1408.

SPECIAL SUIT SALE For One Week We are going to make sensational redactions in tailormade suits. You may wonder why we do this, so we explain right here: We aim to make prices on the suits, to boat the prices of the materials used in making the suite. Owing to the fact that our McCall patterns are so popular, and so easily used, many women have been buying the dress goods and making their suits and skirts over ilcCall patterns, and they, have had , such good success, they have turned toward making their suits rather than buy them ready made. Our large 6tock of dress goods has also aided them in doing this, and while we appreciate the pattern business, and are greatly pleased at our fine business in the new spring dress goods, we want to see the SUITS move too, and there is every reason why - they should do so this week, for we have placed the prices so low that the materials will cost as much as we ask for the suits, and you are saved the worry and expense of dressmaking.

How many people date their ill health from a severe cold or la grippe, or from some accident or injury. Poslbly slight at the occurrence, but as time went on and the vitality and vigor of the body begins to wane the disease became more marked. These cases most satisfactorily prove the osteopathic theory of disease? Some slip of slight bones, unnotlceable other than a pain for a brief time oc curs. The nerves adjacent to It are pressed upon. For a time the vigor of the body enables it to withstand the Injury. But as the vigor decreases the effect becomes manifest and dis ease is the result. This is a tale dally told In the osteopath's office, and it illustrates why the osteopath goes to the bony frame work to find the cause of disease.
